The next week was hard for Brittany. Sam avoided her as much as possible, even skipping glee rehearsals so he didn't have to see her. Brittany had talked to Miss Pillsbury and she had said to just wait for Sam to calm down before she tried to talk to him. The rest of the New Directions were supportive of her, some even going as far as giving Sam the cold shoulder when they walked past him in the halls. It was a shock to everyone to see Sam sitting on a stool by the piano when they walked into rehearsal on Friday and Brittany turned to leave again.
"Wait! I want to say something before you go." Sam called out, jumping off the stool. Tina and Brittany had a silent conversation before Brittany sighed and went to sit in a chair. She folded her arms protectively over her swollen stomach and the small gesture made Sam's heart clench. Shaking the thought out of he head, he nodded at the band who began to play softly and he sang, looking down at his lap to start with.
The best thing 'bout tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start
Oh, but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep
And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you're asleep
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
When he finished, he was standing right in front of her, holding his hand out to her, offering himself. She sat there, completely shocked for a moment before she felt a sharp poke in the back from someone. Slowly, she put her hand in his and allowed herself to be pulled up. But Sam didn't stop there, he bent down a little and picked her up, grabbing the back of her thighs and pulling her legs around his waist. Suddenly, Brittany forgot what the fight had even been about and leant down to kiss him passionately, her arms wrapped around his neck and her ankles crossed behind his back to hold herself up.
"I'm so sorry, Brittany. I give you permission to slap me if I ever get too protective again." He told her when they came up for air, Brittany resting her forehead on his. She smiled.
"I'm going to hold you to that, you know." she jumped down and moved to push him onto the chair she had been sitting on. When he was sitting, she promptly sat in his lap, her legs across his and arms around his neck to hold herself up.
"While that was very touching, we need to move on now." Mr Schue said, cutting in. This week's assignment was 'Friendship', a fun and cheery topic after the week's sad feeling. Marley jumped up, eager to present her song.
You're not alone
Remember when we used to talk all night?
We didn't get much sleep
Talking love and planning out our lives
And who we're going to be
Things were so much different then
And life has changed so much, my friend
But you and I will always believe
'Cos we'll be
You'll see
We'll be
We'll be friends forever
We'll be
You'll see
We'll be like Thelma and Louise
We'll be
(Yeah yeah)
You'll see
(A ha)
We'll be friends forever
(Friends forever, friends forever)
I know that he's been hurting you
I've known for a while
And now you've found love in someone new
I can see it in your smile
I swear your secret's safe with me
Won't tell nobody what I've seen
What you need is perfect trust in me
'Cos we'll be
You'll see
We'll be
We'll be friends forever
We'll be
(You're not alone)
You'll see
We'll be like Thelma and Louise
We'll be
(Yeah yeah)
You'll see
(A ha)
We'll be friends forever
(Friends forever)
We all need somebody we can trust
A friend of our own
(A-ha)
I swear your secret's safe with me
(Yeah)
You're not alone
Together forever
You can depend
(You can depend)
Together we will fight
To the end
(Ah yeah)
'Cos we'll be
(Yeah yeah)
You'll see
(Ever)
We'll be friends forever
We'll be
(You're not alone)
You'll see
We'll be like Thelma and Louise
(No no no no)
We'll be
You'll see
We'll be friends forever
(Oh)
We'll be
(Yeah)
Like Thelma and Louise
(Ooh ooh ooh)
We'll be, you'll see
We'll be friends forever
We'll be
You'll see
We'll be friends forever
We'll be
(You're not alone)
You'll see
We'll be
We'll be friends forever
(Friends forever, friends forever)
"Perfect, Marley! That's exactly what I'm looking for." Mr Schue congratulated her and turned to the board to start brainstorming songs they could sing.
