Word Count: 565

Date: January 23, 2012

Santana waited three days. Three heartbreaking, soul searching, tortuous days.

Brittany had been kind enough to call Santana and tell her directly, before she heard it from someone else: Brittany was dating Sam Evans. Brittany was having sex with Sam Evans. Her Brittany was falling in love with Trouty Mouth!

Santana hadn't responded when Brittany had told her. She knew she wasn't being fair. She was the one who had broken Brittany's heart and sent her into someone else's arms.

And that was why Santana waited three days.

One day to seethe with jealousy. To let herself drown in images of Sam's lips on Brittany's milky skin.

A second day to search her heart. Once the initial jealousy passed, Santana forced herself to reevaluate her decision. Was a chance with someone else worth losing what she had with Brittany? No. But was she already too late?

And a third day to formulate a plan. Now that she knew what she wanted, it was time to go and fight for it. To fight for Brittany, something she had failed to do the first time.

Santana stalked through the halls of McKinley searching for her ex-girlfriend, with song lyrics and heartfelt speeches on the tip of her tongue.

Until she saw them.

Without a care in the world, Sam and Brittany were kissing in front of Britt's locker, which happen to also be beside Santana's former locker. All Santana's plans were lost in a new wave of jealousy.

"Is this some sick form of revenge, since I rejected you, you decided to take the one thing I care most about?" Santana raged at Sam.

"San!" Brittany said startled and immediately put distance between herself and her boyfriend.

Sam's heart lurched forward in his chest as Brittany pulled away.

"As hard as it may be for you to believe Santana, not everything is about you. And need I remind you that you cast Britt aside as soon as some other pretty girl caught your eye," Sam spat back. He wasn't going down without a fight.

"That is the biggest mistake I've ever made. And I've made a lot," Santana confessed as she stepped forward and reached for Brittany's hand.

"Don't," Brittany choked out.

"Also Santana, didn't you say the distance would be difficult and yet, you seem to be here an awful lot. What sort of message do you think that's sending Britt?" Sam shot each word at Santana with an anger even he didn't know he had.

Santana took a threatening step closer to Sam.

"STOP!" Brittany shouted and moved between the two people who were currently treating her heart so carelessly. "Enough. It's my choice. You guys don't get to stand here yelling at each other, as if I'm invisible."

Sam and Santana had enough respect for Brittany to look suitably chastised.

"I'm sorry, Britt. This wasn't how I planned to do this. I had a whole speech and a song," Santana trailed off. It all sounded so pointless now.

"You did?" Brittany whispered.

Santana met her eyes and nodded, blinking back tears.

"You," Brittany pointed to Sam, "wait for me in the choir room."

"You," Brittany looked at Santana, "wait in the girl's locker room."

Brittany walked away without another word. She wandered the halls of McKinley until her heart made it's choice. Then she took a deep breath, pushed open the door and stepped inside.
