A/N: Let me know what you think of this one and leave a review!


"I need to stop seeing her" Santana said to Brittany.

Santana went over to Brittany's house to get some input on how she should proceed with things with Quinn and Chloe, she couldn't think about it on her own because she was torn between doing what her head was telling her and doing what her heart was telling her and if she was left alone to decide she would most likely stick with Quinn and she wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not.

"Who?" Brittany asked back as there where two women in Santana's life at the moment.

"Quinn" She said after a moment. It pained her to say this as she felt like she was going against her heart and that wasn't a nice feeling, in fact it fucking sucked.

Brittany gave Santana a small smile as she heard this, she knew Santana didn't want to do this but it was what she had to do at this moment.

"How are you going to do that?" Brittany asked.

"I don't know" Santana sighed, this was literally going to be the hardest thing she would ever have to do. "I can't stop seeing her completely; we just have to be friends and nothing more"

"Do you think you'll be able to do that?"

Santana sighed, "I have to" She hung her head low, she didn't know how she was going to but she knew that if she wanted to go for things with Chloe or just get over Quinn and try to move on that this was what was necessary.

She would still be friends with Quinn, she could never just give her up completely but they just couldn't 'practice' anymore. She knew it wasn't going to be easy but she had to at least try.

"Does this mean you're taking things with Chloe further?"

"I don't know, maybe. I should at least try right?" Santana replied.

"You should" Brittany nodded her head, "You'd be good together"

Chloe is a great girl, Santana knows that and she thinks that Brittany is right in the sense that they would be good together, however there was just one thing holding her back. If Quinn wasn't in the picture she would probably already be with Chloe because she wouldn't have any prior feelings to deal with. She knew that if she and Chloe got into things that she would have to tell her that she still had some feelings for another person, she didn't want to lie to Chloe and she knew that honesty was the best policy.

"Are you going to speak to Quinn about it?" Brittany asked.

"I guess when the time is right I will speak to her, but not yet. I need to figure out how to do it"

For now she would just stick with the art of self-control and stay away from the blonde. Saying all of this to Brittany was no problem, but when she found herself in Quinn's company and she was asking and wanting to do things with Santana it was incredibly hard for her to say no.

"She won't be happy" Brittany mentioned.

Santana knew that. Judging by the reaction Quinn gave her from just spending one night with Chloe rather that Quinn herself, Quinn flipped out so Santana dreaded what the reaction was going to be when Santana would have to tell her that they couldn't do anything anymore.

"No, she won't" Santana confirmed.


"Santana?" Chloe said, tearing Santana's attention away from the TV screen.

It had been a couple days since Santana had decided that she would end things with Quinn, so far she had been doing well in staying away from Quinn, however it was particularly easy this weekend because Quinn was out of town visiting her aunt for the weekend with her parents, although that still didn't stop Quinn from sending the odd flirty text to Santana now and then.

However, Quinn did ask for Santana to come over to her house tomorrow when she got back. Maybe that was the time when Santana would tell her, she didn't know, but she couldn't ignore Quinn forever, she would see her at school and she definitely didn't want to tell her then.

"Yeah?" Santana turned her head towards Chloe.

Chloe had invited Santana over to her house to hang out, currently they were sat on Chloe's bed watching a movie.

"What are we?" Chloe asked hesitantly, she was nervous about the answer that she would get as a response since she and Santana had never spoke about these things before. She felt that it was about time that they have this discussion since they had been seeing each other for a little while.

"What do you mean?" Santana asked back. She thinks she knows what Chloe is talking about, she knows that Chloe wants to have a conversation so that they can label things and if Santana is honest, she's nervous and scared about that for many reasons.

One, she still hasn't talked to Quinn, so she doesn't know if labelling things with Chloe and then still having something with Quinn would kind of be acceptable.

Two, she had never actually had a girlfriend before. She couldn't count what she had with Quinn as a relationship because it wasn't, it was purely physical between them, plus Quinn had a boyfriend the whole time.

Three, she was still crazy about Quinn and those feelings weren't going to disappear over right. Although, she wondered if she got into things with Chloe would those feelings for Quinn decrease and her ones for Chloe increase, that's what she hoped for anyway.

Maybe this would be good for her, she liked Chloe, there was no doubt about that. It was just that her second nature whenever she did things would be on how Quinn would feel or how Quinn would react. She knew that was stupid because Quinn has never been hers so why should she feel that way? It was just another reason on why she should move on from Quinn and onto someone else.

"Like, are we together or not?" Chloe asked in a soft voice. Santana knew that this meant that Chloe wanted to be official with her.

"What like girlfriends?" She asked.

"Yeah" Chloe replied.

Santana took a deep breath, her head wasn't really in the right state of mind for this conversation right now, but nonetheless she would give it a go as she didn't want to hurt Chloe's feelings.

"Do you want that? To be my girlfriend?"

"Well… yeah" Chloe admitted. "Don't you want to be mine?"

Santana hesitated for a moment and Chloe saw this as a no. Seeing Santana's reaction Chloe shifted herself a little further away from Santana and out of her reach.

Santana didn't want to cause that reaction so she quickly composed herself.

"Wait, no no, don't take it like that" Santana quickly said as she saw Chloe's reaction to her hesitance, she just needed time to think, she didn't want Chloe to take that as a no. "I just needed to think for a moment" Santana told her.

"Think about what?"

Santana knew that this was where she needed to tell Chloe about Quinn, she just wasn't sure how to word it.

"I…" How was she going to say this?

"You what?" Chloe was getting a little impatient.

"Before we get into this, I… I want to be honest with you. If we're going to do this then I don't wanna keep any secrets from you" Santana said.

"Secrets? Like what?"

"Like, currently I am trying to get over someone else who I've been crazy about since I can remember" Santana truthfully told her. She didn't want to scare Chloe away with what she was going to tell her but she felt like she had to say it in order to start on a clean slate.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I don't want to keep this from you. I've been crazy about this girl for, if im honest, from the first moment I met her but it's never gonna happen between us and I want to move on and get over her."

"So, you're using me as a what? A rebound?"

That certainly was not what Santana wanted to get across. Chloe was by no means a rebound for Santana, she was the start of something new, she was a part of the new Santana. The new Santana without Quinn.

"God no, that is definitely not what you are to me. I want to do this with you, I just… I wanted to be honest is all"

Chloe gave her a small smile at that, like she appreciated Santana's honesty and the fact that she wasn't going to keep any secrets from her.

"Were you in love with her?" Chloe asked, shocking Santana at the question.

But Santana knew that she had adopted the honesty policy so she had to answer truthfully.

"Yeah" she said after a moment.

Chloe obviously wasn't ecstatic to hear this.

"Was it Quinn?"

That completely surprised Santana, was it that obvious?

"How did you know?" Santana asked, completely stunned at the thought of Chloe figuring out that the girl she was talking about was Quinn. Santana thought that she and Quinn had done a pretty good job in hiding it, maybe Santana could have cut down the staring at Quinn a little bit but it was just so hard not to.

"I see the way you look at her, you look at her how every girl wants to be looked at" Chloe admitted.

"Well, it's over between us. I'm moving on to bigger and better things" Santana smiled at her and this time Chloe returned it.

"If you don't mind me asking, what did you two actually do or have?"

Santana grimaced a little at the question, she really wasn't sure how to explain the situation she had with Quinn as it was not one of the ordinary.

"Um, we, I don't really know how to explain the situation I had with Quinn" Santana told her.

"Have you slept together?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah"

"More than once?"

"Yeah"

Santana felt a little uncomfortable talking about her and Quinn with Chloe.

"So you were friends with benefits?"

"Um, I guess. Whatever it was, all you need to know is that it's over" Santana wanted to get off the topic of Quinn and move onto a different one.

"So, she won't try and take you off me or something like that" Chloe joked, making light of the situation.

"She has a boyfriend" Santana said, not that that stopped Quinn before. Everything they had started when Quinn was with Puck so it's not like that could be used as an excuse, but Chloe didn't need to know that. "But, anyway, you can trust me when I say Quinn won't be an issue"

"That's good to know" Chloe smiled. "So, now that you've told me everything, does this mean that we're official?"

"I guess so" Santana smiled. She had to admit, it was a nice feeling she was getting from admitting that she and Chloe were together.

"You're my girlfriend?" Chloe grinned.

"I'm your girlfriend" Santana confirmed.


To say Santana was nervous was an understatement, she was outside Quinn's front door, hesitating before she went inside. She knew she would be seeing Quinn today, but what made this visit extra nerve-wracking for her was that she had to tell Quinn that she and Chloe were now an item ad she wasn't sure how Quinn was going to take it and second of all, Quinn had text her saying that her parents had gone out so they had the place to themselves and Santana knew exactly what that meant.

She opened the door and went straight up the stairs towards Quinn's room, she took a deep breath before she opened the door and went inside.

Once inside the room she saw that Quinn was sat on the bed wearing nothing but a matching set of black lace bra and panties. This was going to be more difficult than she thought, but she had to do this.

Quinn stood up off the bed and walked straight over to Santana as she saw her enter the room. A smirk immediately arrived on Quinn's face as she saw Santana's reaction to what she was wearing.

"I was going to take them off myself but I figured you'd have more fun doing that" Quinn husked into Santana's ear.

"Quinn…" Santana breathed out, "we can't" she exhaled. It was taking everything she had not to give in to her temptations right now.

"Why?" Quinn asked, but still trying to go further as she wrapped her arms around Santana's neck, pressing her body tightly against Santana's.

"I…" Santana lost her words as Quinn pressed her body against Santana's.

"You what?" Quinn smirked as she started placing kisses on Santana's neck. Santana on instant rolled her head back, giving Quinn extra space.

However she soon realised what she was doing and then pushed her head forward, causing Quinn to stop and turning to face Santana once again.

"We can't do this anymore" Santana painfully told her, it hurt to say that, it really did.

"And why's that?" Quinn asked back, making no attempt to separate herself from Santana.

It was now or never.

"Because I have a girlfriend" Santana said.

This time, Santana's words did cause Quinn to remove her arms from Santana and take a step back. By the look on her face, it came as a shock for Quinn to hear these words.

"You and Chloe" she said with a little scowl.

Santana took a deep breath before replying, "Yeah, she wanted to make it official between us and I said yes"

Quinn wasn't happy and Santana could clearly see that. Santana couldn't help but take this further, she needed some answers and she saw now as the perfect opportunity to get them. She just couldn't keep it in any longer.

"Can I ask you something?" Santana said.

Now Quinn had put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, which Santana was kind of glad as it made this conversation a little easier.

"Sure"

"Could you… Could you ever see yourself with me?" Santana asked, it had been the question on her mind since she and Quinn started her thing.

"What do you mean?" Quinn seemed a little startled at the question.

"You and me, together properly. I mean, we've been doing this thing for months now, you must know how I feel"

Santana didn't know how she was managing to get all of this out since she had locked it all away for months, but it seemed that as soon as she said one thing the rest came stumbling out.

"Santana, what are you trying to say?"

This was it, this was the time where she had to tell Quinn how she felt about her. At least this way she could get it all out in the open and then the ball would be in Quinn's court.

"What am I trying to say? I'm trying to tell you that I'm in love with you Quinn and I think I have been since the moment I met you"

There it was, she finally confessed how she felt. It felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders as those words came out of her mouth. She just hoped that saying those words would cause Quinn to say them back.

Quinn was silent, surprised at Santana's words and not knowing how to deal with them.

Santana noticed how Quinn wasn't saying anything so she decided to go for things further; she had come to far now to just give up, she still had a little hope left.

She took a few steps forward so that she was directly in front of Quinn. She lifted her hands up and placed them on Quinn's cheeks to get her to look at her.

"I wanna be with you Quinn, like properly together. You break up with Puck and I will with Chloe and then we can do this. You'll be mine and I'll be yours, please Quinn, just say you want me back" She pleaded, she had never wanted or needed anything this much.

If Quinn said no she didn't know what she would do, it would break her, it would break her heart and she didn't know how to deal with that type of pain.

"I…" Quinn released a shaky breath.

"Please Quinn" Santana pleaded once again, she needed Quinn to say yes, she needed Quinn to say that she wanted her back.

"Santana" Quinn sighed, "I can't" she said, a tear flowing down her cheek.

Santana felt her entire world start crumbling down as Quinn said those words, she didn't want her back. She removed her hands from Quinn's cheeks and back down to her sides, they went limp, everything did. She couldn't focus on anything as those words of Quinn denying her were replaying in her head over and over again.

"Santana, im sorry" Quinn mumbled, tears now falling free down her eyes.

"I… I need to go" Santana said. She needed to get out of there, she felt like she was going to lose it, she was going to break down and she didn't want Quinn to see that.

"Santana, we should talk about this" Quinn said.

Santana ignored it; instead she turned around and headed for the door. She walked out of Quinn's room and down the stairs and then out of the house towards her car.

She got in her car and drove away, she didn't know where she was going but she definitely wasn't going home just yet, she didn't want to be in anyone's company but her own.

She drove around for a little while until she pulled up on a side road somewhere. This was where she broke down, where no one else could see her, she let her tears fall down her cheeks until she had ran out of them.

She was completely broken right now, she thought Quinn was going to say those words back to her, she thought Quinn loved her. Everything that Quinn did when she was together with Chloe made it seem like she was jealous that Santana was with Chloe instead of her, so why couldn't she say she wanted Santana aswell, everything she did made it seem like she felt the same way.
