I'm terrible person. But it's because I've been busy and not really inspired by things.

Secret

"I love you Brittany, more than anyone else."

Santana spoke these words calmly while Brittany stared back speechless. They were in the choir room, which was empty at the moment, other than the piano player. Santana had just sang the song "Songbird" for her and no one else, and had declared her love for her. Brittany smiled back at her; full of love for her too, but there was something holding her back.

"Listen Brittany. I want to be with you. More than anything."

"But aren't we already together all the time?" Brittany asked puzzled.

"No not like that, I want to date you."

"Oh," was all Brittany could say back. She was a little surprised, but she sensed something was up with Santana.

"I know that I'm not out of the closet like Mr. McGay Pants Kurt, but I can't do this alone. I need you Brits, and if I'm with you I promise I won't hide my love anymore," Santana said wholeheartedly.

"Well, I love you a lot to but I'm dating Artie right now. You can't just date 2 people. Isn't it a crime or something?" Brittany questioned. She nervously thought back to the previous night with Albus. How he said it wasn't right to kiss him while she was dating Artie.

"Well then break up with him. Simple as that," Santana said crossing her arms.

"Santana, I can't just break up with him. I love him too," Brittany pleaded.

"Well," Santana started, grabbing her bag and placing it over her shoulder, "I'm afraid you have to choose me or him. But it will be easier for the both of us if you just choose me over him." She turned her head and quietly exited the choir room not looking back.

Brittany sighed. She loved Santana more than anyone else here at the school, but she just didn't feel like dating her. But she couldn't just ignore Santana. What if she never talked to her again because she turned her down? Brittany couldn't bear not to ever talk to Santana again.

But then there was Artie. She didn't want to cheat on him. He already thought he cheated on her once (with Mike Chang even though nothing ever happened between them), and Brittany felt so guilty.

But to top it all off, there was Albus. Last night when they kissed, something just clicked. It just seemed so right to her. The whole incident that happened that night felt right. However, Albus had to remind her that she was dating Artie, which killed the moment. She didn't want to be a cheater, so she had to stop. But Brittany still couldn't get her mind off him.

More confused than ever (which was saying something because she always felt confused), Brittany picked up her stuff and headed into the hallway. She looked around for any familiar faces and saw Santana talking to Dave Karofsky. At that moment, she remembered something.

Wait, isn't Santana with Karofsky for prom? I can't date Santana if she with him. That's cheating right? Brittany thought. That changed everything. She closed her eyes for a second, trying to clear her mind of things. Her brain hurt from all this thinking and she just needed to start fresh for the rest of the day.

"Hey baby," a voice said from behind her. Brittany turned and looked around.

"Who's there?" she said scanning the hallway.

"Looks down Britts."

She gazed down to see Artie almost at her feet. "Oh hey Artie! Sorry, I didn't see you," Brittany said sheepishly.

"Again," Artie replied shrugging.

"Sorry," Brittany whispered.

"I forgive you. So do you have any plans tonight?"

Brittany closed her eyes for a second again. As much as she loved Artie, she couldn't let this get out of hand. Her feelings for Albus and Santana were stronger than her feelings for Artie. So she would have to act upon those feelings and that meant breaking up with Artie.

"Um can we talk in private for a second?" Brittany asked.

"Yeah sure." Artie wheeled his chair to a more remote area of the hallway and Brittany followed. "So what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong Artie. It's just we need to talk about something."

"No something is wrong. I can tell. Don't lie Brit."

"We need to break up."

Artie's eyes widened and his jaw dropped a little. "W-what? You can't be serious. I wasn't expecting that. Am I not good enough? Is there someone else?" Artie questioned ferociously.

Brittany paused for a second. "No there's no one else," she lied. "And you're great and amazing but I just…"

"Just what?"

"I just feel like we aren't as close lately. Your unicorn sparkle is wearing off," Brittany told him. That really wasn't true but she needed to make up something to cover up the truth. That her heart was with someone else.

"Unicorn Sparkle? What are you talking about? Brittany just tell the truth," Artie pleaded with her.

Brittany bit her lip and sadly looked at him. "You wouldn't understand."

Turning around as fast as she could, Brittany walked away. He heard him call her name again, but she ignored it. Her head was hurting again, but somehow her heart didn't ache as much. She felt as if a rope had just loosened up around her next and it was a little easier to breathe. Yet, she just felt really guilty for breaking Artie's heart. She felt cruel and heartless but she didn't want to end up being a cheater and hurt him in a worst way.

As she was walking down the hall again she saw Albus standing at his locker fumbling with his lock as usual.

Albus. Now there was someone she rather be with. She bit her lip again, nervously and glanced at Santana who was still talking to Karofsky. She still didn't fully understand why she was with Karofsky. She remembered Santana said something about a 'beard' but Karofsky didn't have a beard. In fact, he was nowhere near having one.

Maybe she's dating him because if she dates him, he will grow a beard. He probably wants one badly. Actually he really needs one badly, Brittany though. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

Satisfied with her assumptions, she walked a little more confidently towards Albus. Okay Santana loved her, but she was going to do the right thing, and right now, the right thing was going out with Albus.

Albus was currently fumbling with his locker. He was starting to loathe lockers. They never seemed to open when he tried to open them. Alohomora would be very useful right now. Frustrated, he viciously grabbed his lock and to his surprise it opened. He sighed and looked around the hall and saw that Brittany was approaching him quickly.

"Hey Albus," Brittany said with a large grin on her face.

He smiled back, "Hey Britt. What's up? You seem pretty happy"

"Oh yeah, I just broke up with Artie."

Albus' face fell for a second, confused. "Wait, you're happy that you just broke up with Artie? Why did you do that?"

"It wasn't working out between us," Brittany said. "Plus I kind of like you more than him."

Albus was stunned. His mind flashed back to last night when they kissed. He had to admit he really liked her too but he was just too surprised that someone that beautiful could be attracted to the awkward, slightly dumb, British newbie.

"You really do?" Albus spoke quietly, still in shock.

"I just don't kiss people I don't like," Brittany said smiling. "Okay, I kissed this super ugly mean kid sits in the back of most my classes, but that's the only exception."

"So," Brittany continued, "You won't mind going out with me?"

Albus stared dumbfounded at her. He still couldn't believe this was happening. But he thought of his other new friends. Kurt. And Rachel. Brittany said last night that Rachel liked him. The more he thought about it, the more he believed it. He didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he was definitely more interested in Brittany than her. He needed Rachel and Kurt's friendship or else he wouldn't be able to get through the rest of the year with feeling desperately lonely.

And wasn't it a bit suspicious that Brittany would date someone else so quickly after just breaking up with Artie? There had to be a way to get what they both wanted without hurting anyone else.

"Brittany, I would love to date you it's just…" Albus started.

"That's great-"

"No Brittany, listen for just a second. Can we keep this a secret? I really don't want anyone else to know about this right now. I'm afraid that some people might not like this, and I don't want to hurt them."

Brittany looked at him blankly for a second, than glanced over her shoulder across the hall. Albus tried to follow he gazed and he was pretty sure she was looking at Santana, who was talking to one of the 'jocks' (Kurt explained that term the other day and how anyone who wears red jackets is a 'jock'). Oh yeah he forgot about Santana. He was a little afraid of her straight up bitch attitude, and like she said, he didn't want to get on her bad side. Dating Brittany could get him on her bad side.

Brittany turned back to him with a bit of a nervous look, and spoke quietly to him. "That's actually a really smart idea. We definitely should date secretly. Starting right now."

Albus grinned. "That's great!" Just after he said that, Brittany leaned in too kiss him on the cheek but Albus quickly jerked back.

"Remember we're secretly dating, Brittany," Albus trying to be serious even though he was extremely giddy. "So no kissing or embracing in public."

"Oh yeah, sorry Albus," Brittany said. "I guess we'll just have to save all the fun for later," she said winking at him. Albus' felt his stomach flip inside him.

"Y-yeah. Well I think I have to head off to class now," Albus told her. "I love you," he said as quietly as possible, making sure she was the only one who heard him.

"Love you too," she said quietly as well and smiling brilliantly at him. She bounced down the hallway and Albus watched her walk away until she turned the corner.

Girlfriend. She was his girlfriend. He never though he would have a girlfriend ever. But now he did. If only James could see him now. James would have definitely thought Brittany was a hot girl. Memories painfully flashed in his head.

You're such a loser. No wonder why no girls like you. You will never have a girlfriend. It's because you…

SHUT THE FUCK UP, Albus screamed. THAT WASN'T ME, THAT WAS…

Oh really? It definitely looked different from what I saw.

NO. YOU LIAR. YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOLD THEM ANYTHING. NO ONE WANTS TO TALK TO ME. NO ONE EVEN LIKES ME ANYMORE.

No one liked you in the first place Albus, James said coldly.

Albus breathed deeply. No I have to shut that out of my mind. I can't think about that. That doesn't matter anymore. I have Brittany now.

All that mattered was that James was wrong, and Brittany was his and no one else's.

Next chapter will be about Kurt and his plans to screw up Rachel's emotions about guys as well as Mr. Schuester's new assignment for the glee club that will be for Nationals.

After that it's back to James and his journey in the mundane British Country side in search for Albus.

See I have this all planned out!
