Showdown Chapter 21
Thank you for sticking with me through my little writer's block. Thank you all for reading and reviewing.
"Santana! Quinn yells down the hall causing heads to turn. "What the hell are you doing?"
Santana shrugs her shoulders confused by the outburst "getting my math book. Why are you yelling at me?"
Quinn stops at the brunette's locker leaning close "how could you do that to Brittany after everything she has done for you" she reprimands.
"What are you talking about?" The brunette asks as her friend continues to glare at her "oh…she told you I left." Quinn nods her head "first of all it's none of your business, but I did it for Brittany if you must know."
Quinn takes Santana's arm dragging her into the empty choir room. "What do you mean you did it for Brittany?"
"Didn't she tell you? You seem to know more about my life lately than I do" Santana huffs.
The girls turn their heads as they hear the door open. Ms. Corcoran walks in smiling at the girls noticing they seemed to be in a heated conversation "everything okay?"
"Why don't you tell us? You seem to want to be everyone's mother lately!" Quinn replies angrily.
"Q!" Santana shouts "why are you so upset about this, it has nothing to do with you!"
Quinn shakes her head walking out of the room. Santana looks over to Ms. Corcoran "I'm sorry about that."
"It's okay I don't think she likes me much anyway" Ms. Corcoran responds walking towards Santana. "Are you okay? Why are you two fighting?"
"I don't know, I think she is mad that I left Brittany's house" Santana shrugs.
"Okay well if you need anything let me know" Ms. Corcoran announces as she walks towards her office in the back of the room.
Santana walks into the cafeteria seeing Quinn sitting with Brittany and the rest of the Glee kids. She walks over placing a hand on Brittany's shoulder smiling at her. Brittany looks up returning the smile. Santana then removes her hand grabbing Quinn's arm as she drags her out of her seat forcefully.
"San!" Brittany calls out watching her girlfriend drag her friend towards the door.
"Ahhhh…should we follow them, are they okay?" Puck asks looking at Brittany who looks concerned.
"I don't know" Brittany states standing up walking towards the same door.
Santana pulls Quinn into the bathroom. "So you wanna tell me what the hell your problem is?"
"You are the one that just dragged me out of the cafeteria…" Quinn responds angrily rubbing her arm.
The door opens to the bathroom as Brittany walks in "San, what's going on?" she asks looking between her and Quinn.
"Apparently Quinn has a problem with where I am staying and I would like to know why?" Santana responds looking back to Quinn.
Brittany walks over to Santana taking her hand "I'm sorry I told her you moved out. I didn't mean to upset you."
"That's not why I am upset. I am mad because Quinn just about ripped Ms. Corcoran's head off earlier for no reason" Santana states. "Quinn you have no idea what she is doing for me. You say you want to be friends again and you treat her like that."
"Look San, that woman already has my daughter and now she has you. I miss you, I miss our friendship. Why can't you come to me? You could have stayed at my house" Quinn answers lowering her head.
"Are you kidding me, this is because you are jealous? I can't deal with this right now," Santana replies turning and walking out of the bathroom.
Brittany watches her walk out as she gives Quinn a small smile. "I will go talk to her. She just has a lot going on Q but if Ms. Corcoran can help her then I am okay with it and you should be too."
Quinn takes a step towards the door turning towards Brittany before leaving "I miss you guys and I want to help her. I have known her forever and I know she is having a hard time right now and she would rather go talk to a stranger than me."
"Quinn, I know it's not easy. Don't you think I want to help her? All we can do is be there when she needs us. You helped her earlier with that creep. Just be there when she needs you" Brittany answers.
Quinn nods before walking out. Brittany follows as she goes to look for Santana. She checks in the choir room first thinking she would have gone in there to think or just be alone. She was right. Except when she walked in Santana was sitting in Ms. Corcoran's office laughing with her. She starts to turn to leave but Ms. Corcoran sees her motioning for her to come in.
"Hi Brittany. Santana and I were just talking about you" Shelby Corcoran states.
"Oh" Brittany responds not sure if she is interrupting.
"Yeah Britt, Ms. Corcoran wanted me to invite you over for dinner tomorrow, then I thought maybe we could go for a walk in the park afterwards. I was just telling her how cute it is when you talk to the ducks" Santana says standing to take the blonde's hand.
"Oh…yeah San that sounds nice, but aren't you supposed to go with my Mom after school tomorrow?" Brittany asks.
"Yeah but I thought after we could spend some time together. And in case it doesn't go well I….." Santana is cut off when Brittany leans forward kissing her. "What was that for?"
"Cause it's going to go well and you are going to start feeling better" Brittany answers. Santana smiles at her. "Can I walk you to class?" The brunette nods reaching her hand towards her.
After classes Santana drives Brittany home walking in the house still holding her hand. "Hello girls" Mrs. Pierce calls out from the kitchen seeing them enter.
"Hi Mom, we are going to go upstairs and do some homework before dinner" Brittany shouts back leading Santana up the stairs. She closes the door behind them as they enter her room. "San, I am so proud of you."
Santana quickly turns confused "what? Why?"
"Because you are letting someone help you. You know Quinn just wants to help too" Brittany adds.
"Britt, I don't want to talk about Quinn right now okay. I kind of was hoping we could maybe cuddle a little" Santana says quietly catching Brittany off guard.
"Really?" Brittany responds smiling "come here" she says diving on the bed opening her arms for her girlfriend. Laughing Santana walks over to the bed crawling into the blonde's arms. She kisses her neck which causes Brittany to shiver. "Um…San I really want to touch you, I don't know if you should do that."
Santana kisses up her neck placing a kiss on the blonde's lips "then do it."
"San, are you sure?" Brittany whispers moving her hand under the brunette's shirt. She nods placing another kiss on her lips as she runs her hand over the blonde's breasts. "Mmm..…San I am not complaining but why?"
Santana pulls back "why? Because I love you."
"No that's not what I meant. I mean why today, what changed?" Brittany questions.
Santana rolls onto her back "I know things are going to get better Britt. I finally believe that. I have you and your family and Ms. Corcoran. When she got home last night she was so cool. I mean she made dinner while I played with Beth and then after Beth went to bed we just hung out and watched TV. She made me feel welcome. I could be myself. We talked about you. I could finally talk to someone about how much I love you and not feel like its' wrong. Britt that's why I felt like I could kiss you today, I am trying not to care what anyone else thinks."
Brittany grabs her girlfriend pulling her back on top of her "I am so happy to hear you say that. I thought with you leaving things between us would…"
"Hey" Santana says softly "it just made me realize how amazing you and your family are and how I want to be a part of your life forever."
Brittany leans forward kissing her "can I show you how much I love you?"
"Please" Santana answers.
