After the huge HEYA riot tonight I couldn't help but just update this! I hope you guys enjoy. I'll write some more tomorrow but it still may be a delayed chapter. This is the longest one I've written for this story, but it just gets more intense and more emotional as we go! People seem to really like Dakota so I wrote a bit more of her. Hopefully you guys stick around long enough to read it! Thank you so much and keep reviewing! It helps me write knowing that people are actually enjoying what I'm writing!

Oh and Keep Calm and Ship Brittana/Heya!


After having a shower and letting all my tears out in the shower, we were all ready to go up to the ball room. I had planned on having Brittany know exactly what she was missing out on, and making sure she knew it.

We all left the room and walked down the hall to get in the elevator and then we went up a few floors. When the doors opened you could already hear the music that was playing. I took the lead and walked forward pushing a huge set of doors open, I shook my head and laughed when I looked around the room, only Rachel would have brought a karaoke machine to this.

Once everyone got into the room we all split up slightly, Dakota and Quinn went off and got some drinks and Aubrey went straight for Puck. I bet you he'll end up trying to get in her pants by the end of the night. Hopefully they use his room and not ours I don't really want to hear that. I can't help but feel I'm being watched so I look around and notice there are a lot of eyes on me. I walk up to the first pair of eyes I see.

"Don't worry I'm not running out." I smile as I walk up to Kurt and Blaine, apparently they stayed together which was good because they sure are a cute couple.

"We're all just sort of feeling like we're looking at a ghost you know?" He smiles sadly and gives me a hug, he froze when I hugged him back.

"Whoa Satan just allowed me to give her a hug? What did that school do to you make you a softy?"

"No, it didn't, well maybe a little, I think the room mates have something to do with that. I'm just sort of happy to be seeing everyone." I shrug and look around. "In a way I feel bad about missing so much of everyones' lives. We definitely have to catch up at the Lima bean okay? If it's even still here, I didn't really look around when we got here. Too many things on my mind."

"I'm sure Kurt would be happy to do that later on, just don't go disappearing for 3 years again okay?" Blaine smiled at me and put his arm around Kurt. I couldn't help but smile and wish I had someone to do that with. I look around the room and notice Brittany looking down at her phone by herself. Dakota and Quinn walk up to her and sit down. I wonder what that's all about but I'll ask later.

"Look who it is, Santana Lopez, the one no one has heard from in years." I turn around to see where the voice is coming from and see Mike and Tina.

"Aha! Hey guys! Sorry about that. I just don't think i could have been able to handle talking to you guys and seeing how happy you guys were when I was still so miserable." I shrug and give them both hugs.

"I don't think you're the only one who's miserable these days." Tina says pointing over to the table where Dakota and Quinn are with Brittany.

"We saw her kissing someone in the elevator.." I trail off looking down at the drink in my hand. "I guess it wasn't really what I wanted to see." I shrug and meet their gaze.

"What do you mean she was kissing someone? She came here alone." Sugar says walking up and joining in on the conversation.

"Yeah she told us all she was single before her performance for Glee club." Blaine says pointing to Sugar.

"Then who was she kissing in the elevator? Quinn just looked angry, she didn't say anything." I look over to the 3 girls sitting there. When all of a sudden the doors slam open. "Someone likes dramatic entrances, maybe Rachel's finally here." Just then the same guy from the elevator starts to walk in. "That's the guy from the elevator."

Mike tenses up and looks to me and then I realize the guy who walked in is probably not someone who wants to see my bad side. I look over to the 3 girls and see that Dakota has stood up into a defensive position I then realize she knows something that I don't. I knew there was a downfall to them all talking. I look around the room and find Aubreys' eyes looking at me confused. I make my way over to the 4 girls.

"Everything okay here?" I ask putting my hand on Quinns' shoulder.

"I'm sure it will be as soon as Brittany comes home." The guy says and holds his hand out for her to take.

"She's not going anywhere with you bud." Dakota says getting up and standing in front of him she pushes him back slightly. I've never seen this side of her before. It kind of scared me.

"I'm sure she can make any choice for herself, she's not dumb." I say moving over and putting my hand on her shoulder and looking down at her. My heart breaks realizing she's been crying. Just then Puck and Aubrey walk up and join us.

"I'm sorry but this isn't your Glee club reunion, you need to leave." Quinn says getting up and walking towards the guy.

"Yeah well I'm not here for you blondie, I'm here for Brittany."

"And apparently she's not leaving with you. She left without you to come here. I don't understand why you'd follow after I told you exactly what was going to happen. Now you're going to leave her alone." Quinn says getting bitchy.

"She can make a damn choice on her own." I say to the man.

"Yeah, and she made that choice when she left you behind. She doesn't want you. You need to leave." Quinn says pointing to the door. "I have plenty of people in this room who will gladly escort you out."

"I'll do it." Dakota says turning to look at Quinn.

"I'll gladly grab a part of him and throw him to the curb." Puck says and moves closer to the guy."I don't really appreciate people coming in here and making my friends cry, especially after they've said no and apparently denied them."

"Whatever, but I'll be waiting for you Brittany, you made the wrong choice and you'll soon see that the bitch you came here for, won't make your life as amazing as you think it will." He turns and walks out.

"You okay?" I say to Brittany as I sit down beside her. "He didn't cause you too many problems did he?" I rub her back gently then realize how close we were and jump back a bit. Everyone other than Quinn and Dakota leave us alone realizing we were okay.

"Britt you need to tell her. It won't do any harm and Dakota is here to hold her back." Quinn says putting her hand on Dakotas back. I still think there's something going on there but I won't push it. Dakota moves beside me so I know she's prepared for anything.

"He tried to get me to marry him... I said no, I couldn't do that to you and we weren't even dating, he was just in one of my classes. He got all angry and broke half of the things in the apartment well my half of stuff." She looks down at her hands. "Then when Quinn went to L.A. he showed up and tried to get me to marry him again. When I said no, he threatened me and then slammed me against the wall. Luckily Mike was home and he ended up hearing it all and coming out and throwing him out. He's not suppose to be near me. At first when I explained you to him he was understanding, then when I denied him for dates he got angry. He told me that I had to bring him here, I denied it for so long and eventually just ran off. I didn't think he would follow me.." She puts her face in her hands and starts to cry.

I felt all the sadness in me transfer to anger. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." I start to walk away towards the door and Dakota grabs my waist and lifts me up so I don't go anywhere, but I continue to kick my feet in the air trying to walk.

"She's not done." Dakota says and puts me back down beside her.

"Oh please, tell me he didn't get you pregnant." I look at her with sad eyes.

"No, I didn't even let him touch me, It always felt like I was cheating on you. When I was with him I thought of you, sort of like that Katy Perry song from when we were in high school."

"But Britt we saw you kissing him in the elevator-" I started. Neither of us noticed that the other two girls left to give us some alone time.

"No please, just let me finish. I wasn't kissing him. He was trying to kiss me, I was trying to turn away but he had the back of my neck. I felt so bad because the past 3 years I've gone to bed wearing your shirts, I've kept an eye on your Facebook to make sure there were no serious relationships at all. I couldn't bare the thought of you being with someone else. I wanted so much just to have you back as mine. When I went to the glee club reunion I hoped I'd see you there. When we started and you weren't around I was upset. I figured you'd moved on from all of us. When you walked in I was happy. Until I realized you weren't mine, and I couldn't go up to you and tell you how much I missed our sweet lady kisses. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry, I miss you and I shouldn't have attempted to move on so soon. I know you, and I shouldn't have made it seem like you couldn't have won me back. But you could have, you just had to come home. I never cared about Sam. He only made me happy and kept me distracted. I have always been yours. Proudly so." By the end of her speech neither of us had dry eyes.

"Britt, we've probably got so much to talk about. But I want to say I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have cut you off completely Once I found out about you and Sam I just couldn't bare the thought of you loving someone that wasn't me or the thought of coming back to help Finn with the club, and seeing you two be all lovey to each other.." I stopped to catch my breathe and reach up to wipe her eyes and held my hand on her cheek. My hand tingled where it was touching her skin.

"SANTANA!" Aubrey yelled at me running back into the room "QUINN, GUYS COME ON!" I looked around the room and noticed one girl wasn't here. Dakota, fucking figures she'd do something.

"Please, don't leave I want to finish this!" I said getting up and running towards the door. "What's going on?!" I ask Aubrey when I get to the door. I also feel a familiar hand on my shoulder and notice Brittany following.

"Dakota went to go back to our room to get something and probably calm down. She was really angry because of everything. And then asshole that was with Brittany got her. She's bleeding pretty badly, Pucks' with her." Aubrey grabs my hand and starts running. We all get to the hotel room and see Puck holding ice to her face along with a towel.

"Hey guys." She tries smile without wincing in pain which might I had was very unsuccessful.

"Kid, what's with you and getting into fights for your friends." I shake my head and walk over and take off the towel to see how the damage is. I use some water to see how deep the cut is. "Welp, who's sober? Someone needs some stitches." I turn around and look at the 3 girls standing in the door. Quinn nudges Brittany in the ribs.

"I guess I'm spending some time in the hospital." Brittany holds a hand out for Dakota and helps her up. "I'll see you guys in a bit." I watch Brittany help Dakota and smile.

"Santana do you want to come?" Dakota asks looking at me while holding ice on her face while Brittany helps hold her up.

"No I'll stay here and make sure everything's cleaned up when you guys get back. Keep me updated." I smile and wave as they walk out. It wasn't even 4 seconds before I was slapped upside the head.

"You do realize what you just did right?" Quinn says looking at me. "You let the girl that you've been trying to get ALONE time with, go sit in a hospital waiting room ALONE."

Realizing what I did I put my head in my hands and sigh."Well I have had a few drinks in me." I look back up to Quinn and Aubrey. "Let's go get drunk. I need to clear my head."

We all went back down down towards the hall again and realize security was standing outside the doors.

"Problem officers?" Quinn asks walking up and tilting her head slightly.

"Ma'am we found the gentleman who attacked your friend, we just were waiting to inform you he's been arrested and will no longer be a problem while you guys are here in the hotel. The police will be in contact with you ladies before you leave." And with that he walked off.

We went back into the hall and spent countless hours playing beer pong. I was extremely impressed with the way everyone held their alcohol these days. I'm happy to say I was finally happy in my life for that night. I felt like my home wasn't too far away. Which maybe it wasn't maybe my home was spending the night in the hospital with my best friend. Maybe my future was finally starting to mesh together.
