Santana got to school a little late because she overslept which was a result of her inability to fall asleep the night before. She knew Brittany was the reason and she knew she had been dwrong in getting angry, but she had explained their delicate situation to the blonde when they first started sleeping together. But still, Santana wanted to apologize so she looked around the Brittany.

That turned out to be easier said than done. She rarely saw Brittany and when she did, she had to fight through a crowd to people to find that Brittany had disappeared. So when she got to glee, she knew that she could at least get to see Brittany and hopefully get a few words in before the singing started.

But when she got to the glee room, there was a sign on the door. 'Meet in auditorium."

Santana huffed and walked to the auditorium where her fellow singers were sitting with the exception of Rachel, Quinn, and Brittany.

Mr. Shue stood in front of them. "This morning Brittany asked if she could perform this song for you guys with the help of Rachel and Quinn. And since none of us have gotten a change to experience Brittany's vocal ability, I thought it would be the perfect start for next week's assignment. Leaving your comfort zone. Everyone will need to find a song that is outside of your comfort zone. It can be a different genre than you're used to or just a song that you're not completely comfortable with."

Brittany walked into center stage and Rachel and Quinn followed, taking their places on either side of the blonde.

The rest of the club were interested to see what was going to happen because Brittany had never had any kind of solo or even a duet. They all leaned forward in their chairs as the jazzy music started.

With the lights on her eyes, Brittany couldn't see into the audience so she started singing and moving along to the choreography that she had developed.

You want my love,

Take it all.

You want to watch it all come off,

Take it all.

Come on now,

Show me how

You can take it all.

The deep soulful way Brittany sang completely surprised everyone, including Santana. She froze when she saw Brittany absolutely own the stage. She could tell Brittany was feeling everything that she was singing.

You want my glove,

Are you enthralled?

You want to see it slip away

And watch it fall?

Oh, we know it's your show

So take it all.

The lights beat with every movement and Brittany's voice filled the auditorium with back up harmonies from Rachel and Quinn. Their dance was precisely choreographed and executed with near perfection.

From her spot in the back Santana couldn't help, but think the song was directed at her. As she watched Brittany move, she knew for sure that the song was hand picked for her.

So go ahead,

take it all.

You want my soul,

take it all.

It's time to leave,

If I'm to live

Because I have no more,

There's nothing left to give.

I watch you rise,

I watch you fall

While I am standing with my back

Against the wall.

Now it's your turn to finally learn,

You had the world,

You had your fling,

You wanted more than everything,

You got your wish,

You got your prize.

You grabbed for everything, my friend,

But don't you see that in the end

There will be nothing left of me?

By the end of the song, as the lights dimmed, Santana had tears in her eyes. For the briefest second, Brittany saw Santana. Their eyes locked before tears started to flood Brittany's eyes too. Santana couldn't take the sight anymore and walked out of the auditorium.

Rachel saw the tears in Brittany's eyes, simmering in the stage lights. She put her hand on Brittany's shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Brittany just nodded and blinked away her tears. She let Rachel briefly hug her before walking off of the stage.

"I'm really impressed Brittany," Mr. Shue told her, "The emotion in that song was amazing and the choreography was incredible. I was thinking you could work with Rachel and Kurt on their Cabaret duet."

Brittany nodded just trying to keep it together long enough to get home. "Okay Mr. Shue."

"Are you okay?" he asked because of the forlorn look on her face.

She just nodded again and walked out of the auditorium and to the glee room where she changed at waited for Rachel and Quinn to get ready.

Santana buried her face in her pillow to muffle her screaming. She hated herself at that moment. She had hurt the one person she was ever sure she was in love with. Soon screaming wasn't enough so she started to punch her pillow as tears streamed down her face.

A knock on the door stilled her movements. She wiped the tears from her face and checked the mirror before calling, "C'min."

The door opened and her brother, Les, stepped in with some keys in his hand. He tossed them to Santana, "Go find her."

"What?" Santana asked, looking at the keys in her hand then back to her older brother.

He smiled and sat next to her, "Brittany make you happy. The absence of Brittany makes you miserable. I don't see how there's a dilemma here. Do what makes you happy."

Santana took a deep breath and hugged her brother, "Why Les Paul Lopez, you may be on to something."

"Of course I am," he messed up her hair, "Now we're even for that time you covered for me while I snuck out."

"Yeah," Santana nodded and stood with her brother.

"Let's go out to eat," Rachel's dad told the three girls that were laying around the living room. He looked at Rachel, "Your daddy wants to meet up at Breadsticks. He called from the office to say he'd be a little late."

Rachel nodded and looked to the other girls who seemed to want to go.

"Great," James clapped his hands, "Let's get going."

Santana was a little worried because Brittany wasn't at her house. Her mom looked at Santana like she was crazy when she asked if Brittany was there. So she went to the only other place Brittany could be.

Santana hopped up the stairs to Rachel's front door and knocked quickly. She hoped Brittany's new bodyguards would give her a change to explain before shutting the door in her face.

A few seconds and no reply later, Santana slumped onto the steps with her head in her hands as tears spilled over, through her fingers. She didn't hear the door open behind her, but she saw the light coming from the house.

She slowly turned around and saw a man, wearing a blue polo and khaki shorts. He was definitely Rachel's other dad.

"Are you looking for Rachel?" he asked and walked out onto the porch next to her.

Santana wiped her face and shook her head, "Brittany."

He smiled, "You must be Santana."

Santana sighed, "Have they told everyone?"

He chuckled, "No, not everyone." He patted her shoulder, "I'm actually on my way to meet James, Rachel, Quinn, and Brittany for dinner. I had to stop by here to drop off some things and change, but you're welcome to come with me."

Santana thought it over. She wasn't sure how mad any of the three girls would be, but she needed to apologize to Brittany and the sooner the better. "I'd love to." She paused, "Can I just used to bathroom first?"

He smiled kindly at her, "Take your time."

Santana went to the bathroom and locked to door before leaned on the sink and staring at herself in the mirror. She knew this was what she had to do, but why did it feel like she was about to go skipping over a field full of mines?

The song Brittany sang was "Take It All " from the musical "Nine". The next chapter is DONE so I'll wait a few hours and post that as well. Hope everyone enjoys this story. It's sort of taken a life of it's own and I promise more Rachel/Quinn in the next chapter.
