21 years old - UCLA

She rushed out of her dorm room, late for her accounting exam. All night she had dreams about how close summer was and going back to the place she hadn't been in close to two years. Her parents still owned the cottage and the Lopez's still owned the one next door. The Lopez daughter she had been in love with and in many ways still was however had opted to stay at school for the summer.

Sprinting down the hallway to the exam room she burst through the doors just in time and found the closest empty seat. Taking a deep breath, closing her eyes trying to calm down, her nerves finally getting to her she felt her cell phone vibrate in her pocket.

Pack ur bags after ur exam we r goin to the east coast boo-yah. Brittany put the phone back in her pocket as the professor began to talk about the exam.

Penn State

Santana walked into her apartment just as the phone rang. "Hey Q, what's up?"

"Oh not to much was just wondering if you still had my black skirt you know the Dolce one with the…"

"You called me about a skirt after I just had my last exam that I have been stressing over."

Quinn huffed. "Can you just check please."

"Fine, why is it suddenly needed." Santana asked as she walked into her room.

"Because you are going to need it when we go out tonight, that's right your exams are done and all you do is mope around here so I'm taking you out to celebrate." Quinn closed her phone and stood up from where she was sitting on Santana's bed.

Santana's mouth dropped open. "Q!" She hugged her best friend. "What are you doing here?"

Quinn put her hand on her hip. "You said it yourself you just had your last big exam that you've been stressing about, and I told you you've been moping so you and I are taking a little trip to Punta Cana to lay on the sand and tan away. Before you say the whole 'we're starving university students' line, daddy gave me a credit card in case of emergencies and this is an emergency. So I said…"

"Charge it." Both girls laughed a little and then ran around the apartment packing what Santana would need.

As the girls were leaving the apartment one of Santana's neighbours asked her if she was going to go to Underground to see some band that was performing there in a couple days, she said they were some band for L.A. and that maybe Santana knew them but couldn't remember their name. She told the girl that her and Quinn were on the next flight out but to have a good time for her.

Few weeks later

Since Brittany and the band had gotten home from their show at Penn State Brittany hadn't really left her room much or talked to anyone. She knew she shouldn't be feeling the way she was since she was the one that ended it with Santana. A part of her wished that when they went out there the other girl would be there, she just hoped to see her even after not talking to her for two years.

Even though she was the one to break it off, the distance getting to her more than she thought it would. She couldn't wait by the phone or wait for the letters to come in anymore. She knew Santana was worried about Rachel trying to play more games with her and finally one night she just broke and called it off. A very big part of her wanted to call her and apologize and tell her that that wasn't what she wanted but her stubborn side took the best of her and she never picked up the phone. She hoped the girl would be at the cottage that summer but she never showed. Now she sat wondering if she'd ever see the girl of her dreams, the girl she let go, again.
