Chapter 11
A week had passed and if this was a film haunting piano would play while shots of both girls pining for each other in various positions including opposite sides of the bed would filter across the screen in a well thought out order.
Every day brought Brittany further and further down from her happy go lucky pedestal. She was crazy desperate to tell an eager Santana all about her days at Disneyworld as well as unload all of the hurt caused by her parents into her girlfriend's sympathetic ear. A little bit of phone sex wouldn't go amiss either, the frustration Brittany felt only added to her depressed state.
After two or three days Brittany had resigned herself to not hearing Santana's voice and simply hoped against hope that her short fused girlfriend wouldn't go off the deep end not knowing how she was. She knew she would be going nuts if contact had suddenly just stopped.
Brittany's hopes and prayers were in vain it seemed as her girlfriend grew more irate each day. Santana prowled around Lima like a caged tiger striking out at any and all opportunity. She was basically terrorising her neighbourhood.
The dark eyed girl had even gone so far as to pump her mother for information in case the two sets of parents had been talking at all. From her mother's tense reaction Santana guessed that she knew something but she had no clue what it was. If Brittany had been in danger or sick surely the parentals would've told her so at least Brittany was okay.
Her thoughts rambled on even as her mami ranted on about how the girls were too involved in each other's lives anyway and could do with more space between them. Santana blanched at her cold tone and tried not to be hurt that her family clearly had not accepted her sexuality yet. Maybe this was bigger than she thought.
Even if the issues with their parent s were a lot more serious than just their relationship the matter at hand was Brittany's voice and how it had been absent from her life for waaay too long. But her mind blanked out the second she picked up the phone and she slammed it back onto its cradle studiously ignoring her mother's shouts Santana stormed upstairs.
Randomly mumbling syllables in an attempt to kick her brains ass into spitting out the name of the hotel Brittany was in.
"One fucking number, can't even remember one fucking number, why don't you write shit down?" She grumbled to herself as her head ached.
Betrayed by her own mind she went to plan B, WWBD, the method she always used to solve minor problems in her life. Asking herself what Brittany would do had nearly always helped her with trivial things like which books she should take out of her locker at once and what she should eat for dinner. Smiling to herself at the thought of eating only marshmallows for dinner that night Santana relaxed for the first time in days.
Images of the bubbly blonde played across her vision and as if by magic the name of the hotel popped into an image of Britt doing the splits. A little pervy yes but diving for her laptop overtook her dirty mind.
One Google search later and the excited Latina was punching the correct number into her mobile as fast as humanly possible. The sound of ringing in her ear had never been sweeter and the Latina fist pumped like a total dork, she looked around to check that no one had seen.
"Hello Starlight Hotel Adam speaking how may I help you?" The man's voice broke Santana out of her embarrassment and she focussed on the task at hand getting her girlfriend on the phone.
"Hi I need to speak to Miss Brittany Pierce please." Santana rushed out her request.
A beat of silence later and Santana heard hushed voices at the other end of the line and frowned at the phone wondering what was going on.
"May I have your name please Miss?" The man asked sounding almost scared. Santana was half impressed that she possessed the power to scare people just with her phone voice and half suspicious at the tension the phone seemed to emanating.
"Lopez, Santana Lopez." She bit out that sinking feeling was back. Yet another hushed conversation reached Santana's inquisitive ears, this one went on for longer and she rubbed her forehead as if to massage the stress lines out. "So is she there or what?" Her patience running thinner by the second.
"I'm sorry Miss but we have explicit instructions not to put your calls through." The man actually sounded legit scared and Santana's already shirt fuse snapped.
"Listen here you worm infested phone freak if you don't put me through to my girlfriend I will come down there and kick your scrawny ass until it's flatter than road kill capishe?" Santana started to get scared herself when she could here frantic shuffling in the background.
Unseen by the Latina the manager of the hotel was feeding the receptionist lines that Mrs Pierce had said she would respond best to if she called being mentally unstable and all.
"Miss Lopez she asks that you respect her enough to let her go." The now high pitched voice breathed down Santana's ear.
"Listen baboso I don't know who you think I am but there is no fucking way my girlfriend would say that to me ever let alone use a disgusting excuse for a human being like you to do it." Santana was starting to become desperate her head spinning with doubts.
On the one hand she knew Brittany and has been solid before the blonde left but on the other, there had been no word from the blonde for over a week. That certainly seemed like a sign to the youngest Lopez. With these thoughts more and more anger at her pathetic situation spilled into her bloodstream setting her entire body alight with fury.
Launching herself off of her desk chair she stormed around the room breathing heavily without any clue what to say to the stupid cunt on the other end of the line. When the man pushed for understanding from her Santana's anger developed into biting words.
"If you see my girlfriend would you be so fucking kind as to give her a message from me." Santana's voice was deadly calm and she heard the hitch of breath at the other end and smirked, she had his balls.
"Sure." Adam's voice wavered as he shrugged helplessly at the red faced manager.
"Good tell her if she didn't want me or love me she could've just said so." Her voice broke halfway through and her chest ached. Saying the words made the situation seem so real that her heart felt as if it was physically breaking in two.
"Okay Miss Lopez, if I see her I shall let her know." The receptionist was sounded even less sure of himself than before, these did not sound like the words of a stalker to him there was genuine hurt there.
Santana clutched her free hand to her chest and fought against the words she really wanted to say unfortunately the need to vent became too much almost instantly and she found herself ranting madly down the phone.
"You know what cabron you can also tell her that I love her and I cannot believe she would throw everything away because of one stupid trip and that I hope she's happy with whatever robo dick she's found to roll around with this time." Only just managing to stop her rant before it hit the screaming stage Santana hung up without a second thought.
Her arm fell down as if unable to hold the weight of a simple phone anymore and she spied the liquid coating it as it drifted in her vision. She hadn't even realised that tears were streaming down her face but once she did her face felt like it was on fire and her entire body began to convulse with sobs. She could not believe that the love of her life had just broken her heart through some sleazy hotel receptionist.
On the other side of the country Brittany mind was still on the beautiful Latina as she wished with all her might that she would be back in her arms soon.
Things are gonna get worse before they get better I guess. Unfortunately I am lacking inspiration recently so if anyone has any good lesbian tv shows or films I can watch suggestions would be much appreciated.
Miched8 and TheKittyPaw thank you for your reviews they were the highlight of my otherwise dull week.
wwtggd; thank you the GG ref was a variation of Blanche saying she was twitchier than a virgin at a prison rodeo.
Pridemunkeyz; I'm so happy you told me that you understand the other side too I was kinda worried it was coming across. You'll find out their reasoning in the end though.
