A/n: So sorry it took me so long to update. I told myself I wanted to finish this before school but that didn't happen and well school and work has been getting in the way. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter.
The door to the astrology room closed with a slam once Santana and Alex entered the vacant room. Alex, who was basically pushed into the empty classroom, decided it would in her best interest to be as far away from Santana as possible and made sure a desk was in between them.
"Uh, what's this about?" Alex asked nervously.
Santana just stared at the girl for a few minutes looking over her handy work. Alex was slightly sweating and wringing her hands. It made Santana smirk, happy that she still had the power to invoke so much fear in another person. She began to walk closer to Alex but very slowly just to make her sweat a little bit more.
"Look I have basketball practice to get to so-"
"Sit." Santana said in a firm voice.
"I really would love to talk with you but like I said I have basketball s-"
"No you don't. Basketball season is over and the last work out with the team happened at the beginning of this month, so why don't you just stop lying, and SIT DOWN!" Santana raised her voice leaving no room for argument.
Seeing as she was already caught in a lie, even though she had no idea how Santana knew her basketball schedule, and frankly the brunette was scary as hell Alex sat down.
"Good girl. Now, we need to have a little chat about you and my girl Britts." Santana stated calmly.
"O-okay. What about Brittany?" Alex stammered.
"You've been helping Brittany study for her math class for a few weeks now?" Santana questioned even though she knew the answer.
"Yeah, yes, I have." Alex replied.
"And you were there when she had to take her test today?"
"Yes, I was."
"What happened?" Santana asked.
"Sh-she was nervous a-about the test. She was rambling about failing and being stupid and you guys breaking up," This caused Santana's eye's to widen slightly but she nodded for Alex to continue, "so I calmed her down."
Alex didn't want Santana to imagine how she calmed her girlfriend down so she quickly added, "I said that she was going to do great and you guys weren't going to break up, so she had nothing to worry about."
Santana was quiet for a while and it was beginning to stress Alex out even more. She wasn't in the right position to smoothly get up and walk away from Santana in case she decided she wanted to unleash her crazy and it was very unsettling. Another minute passed before Santana finally broke the silence.
"Thank you."
"Look I'm not trying to- Wait what?" Alex stopped mid-sentence when she realized what Santana said.
"Look I don't do this often so listen up because I won't be saying it again. Brittany has been doing a lot better in her math class and I'm happy for her. I can't take all the credit for it since you have been tutoring her as well and from what we go over when she finishes up with you, you're a pretty good teacher. Not to mention you were there to help Brittany relax right before her test when I couldn't be. I still don't like you but being with Brittany has made me try to be a nicer person. So I'm saying thank you for helping her out." Santana explained.
"I-I..you're welcome?" It came off as more of a question because Alex wasn't sure if this was some kind of trick or not.
Santana hadn't moved from where she was standing from of Alex so the seated girl assumed she still had more to say.
"And I want to say thank you for helping me get this solo." Santana added quietly.
Alex blinked a couple of times than shook her head in confusion.
"How did you know It was me?" Alex wondered.
"I asked everyone who they voted for. I couldn't understand why I had won. Not saying that I don't deserve it because I have a kick ass voice that can compete with any of those armatures in glee but I'm still not in everyone's good books. We're all better friends now but I still didn't believe they would vote for me so I counted the votes off in my head. I won by one vote and it had to be yours."
"Uh- Yeah, well like you said you deserved it so." Alex trailed off, leaving her sentence unfinished.
Santana sighed and leaned of a desk behind her. She wanted to ask why Alex voted for her but she had a few reasons in her head already as to why and they all sucked. Mainly because they all pointed to Alex really being sorry for her actions and trying to make amends.
"Fuck. Okay listen, schools almost over and I'm about to move on with my future. I'm trying to be a better person and I don't want to start that new life off knowing that I'm still holding grudges. So, I forgive you or whatever." Santana croaked out.
Alex was speechless. Had she not heard it herself she would think she just imagined it.
"Thank you. I know how fucked up I was and I just-I'm really sorry."
"I know and I believe you, so it's like water under the bridge now." Santana said.
Alex smiled, having a weight lift off her shoulders.
"But don't think we've going to be friends or whatever because I might be on this only change my life around deal but that will only go so far." Santana snapped.
Alex shook her head furiously and said that she knows. She was just happy Santana had actually said those three words.
Santana walked away after that, not even saying goodbye to Alex before she went off to look Quinn and Brittany. She didn't say anything to Quinn or Brittany about her encounter with Alex, much to Quinn's disappointment. If she had to embarrass herself in front of all of them she wanted to know why, but Santana kept her mouth shut. The rest of the day went by smoothly and Quinn brushed it aside instead focusing on packing for their trip this weekend.
"I don't know what I should pack." Quinn said to her two friends sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Q, we're going to California for Nationals. It's safe to say it will be hot so anything that revels skin will do." Santana replied.
"Of course you would say that you never like wearing clothes but I don't want to look like a slut when I go." Quinn answered.
"Are you saying I look like a slut?" Santana half yelled standing up from the bed and facing Quinn.
"Baby, she didn't mean that. Did you Quinn?" Brittany cut in before an argument could ensue. Quinn shook her head and apologized for offending Santana.
"This is taking forever! We're only going for the weekend, we're not moving there. Why is this so difficult for you!" Santana exclaimed, obviously tired from being cooped up in Quinn's room for nearly two hours.
"Okay, how about you go order some food. I'll help Quinn pick what to pack and we can go watch a movie after?' Brittany suggested.
If she was being honest, she was tired of looking at Quinn pick something up and then throw it across the room in disgust the same as Santana but wanted to help her friend. Once Santana left Brittany sat Quinn down on the bed and decided to get to the bottom on this.
"Okay Q, what's wrong? You never have a probably picking out clothes before. What's on your mind?" Brittany asked. Quinn sighed and placed her face in her hands.
"I want to take Rachel out on a date when we go to Cali, but I don't know what to wear. I know this sounds stupid because we've been dating for a while and we've gone out before but this is different. We're about to graduate and we are going across the country. It kinda feels like what our life would be like after schools over, you know. Like Rachel and I being grown and all in love and I just want to make sure it's perfect. Because I might not actually get to see that happen." Quinn ranted.
"What do you mean?" Brittany questioned.
"I mean, we're going to college. Off to different schools, where we'll meet new people and make new friends. What if she falls out of love with me; what if she finds someone better? I was horrible to Rachel for the longest time, I don't deserve someone like her. And once she realizes that. She'll go off and find someone else to love and I'll be alone again." Quinn said softly.
Brittany stayed quiet, not sure how to respond.
"I just don't want this to be the last time we're together. I don't want college to ruin what we have." Quinn added.
Quinn lifted her head up when she heard sniffles coming from her friend. When she locked eyes with her Brittany's eyes were filled to the brim with tears. The speech affected her more than she would have liked. She understood exactly what Quinn was going through because she felt that way about Santana. Brittany was afraid she wouldn't graduate and Santana would go off to college somewhere far away. It would be fine at first but then the texts and phone calls would come fewer and far between, until they just stopped. One day Santana would wake up and she wouldn't be in love with this stupid blonde she used to date in high school and she'd leave Brittany for some hot college cheerleader.
Brittany was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do so she hugged Quinn. She clung to her like a life raft that was the only thing keeping her from drifting off and dying in the cold ocean waters.
"Britt why are you-" Quinn was cut off by Santana.
"Chinese is here!" Their oblivious friend screamed telling the girls to come downstairs.
"It won't happen. We won't let it. We can't let them forget us." Brittany whispered into Quinn's hair and suddenly Quinn understood why Brittany was so upset.
They hugged for a few more seconds before Santana yelled for them again. Quinn regained her composure and told her impatient friend they'd be down in a few. Both she and Brittany dried their shed tears and fixed their make-up before going downstairs to join Santana. The rest of the night Quinn and Brittany acted as if their moment upstairs didn't happen. Quinn, because she didn't want to think about it anymore, and Brittany because she didn't want to tell Santana just how scared she really was of the future. If the other girl knew something was wrong she didn't let on so they all ignored the subtle tension in the room.
The rest of the week was spent counting down the minutes until it was time to go to California. Since the competition would be for a weekend the glee kids got to leave on Thursday morning. Everyone was beyond excited when the day finally came. All of the glee clubbers and parents decided it would be a good idea to meet up at the school parking lot before heading off to the airport so that is where they waited.
"Where the hell are they?" A cranky Mercedes yelled.
"They're probably having sex in Santana's car." Puck said leaning on his truck.
"I will be highly furious if we miss our flight because Santana and Brittany thought it would wise to indulge in sexual behavior the morning of such an important day." Rachel chimed in.
"You're just mad because Santana and Brittany have more sex than you and Quinn." Puck added, sounding much like Santana.
"That couldn't be more far from the truth. Quinn and I partake in love making in a very adequate amount. There would be no need for me to be jealous of Santana and Brittany. If Quinn were here she would tell you the same thing." Rachel replied.
"Oh yeah? So is that why she looks like she just had crazy wild sexy with her best friends?" Puck smirked looking behind Rachel.
"What are you talking about?" Rachel asked turning around in time to see three girls rushing out of the car looking very disheveled.
"If you were going to have a threesome you should have called the Puckster. I would have shown you ladies a good time." Puck jabbed grinning at a very angry Santana Lopez.
"Can it Meat for brains, or I'll make sure you're the one singing in falsetto instead of Kurt. I'm not afraid to castrate you in front of your mother." She sneered.
"Before you say anything else we had a rather bad morning so I suggest you leave us all alone." Quinn added as she walked by the group heading towards Mr. Schue to tell him everyone was ready to go.
"I think you should go make Quinn happy Rach, she and Santana kinda had a fight with Lord Tubbington this morning when we stopped over there to get my suitcase." Brittany explained.
Everyone finally got in their cars and headed to the airport. The ride there was quick and before they knew it the New Direction were boarding the plane that would lead to an amazing adventure.
A/n: Okay I know I said this would be the last chapter but obviously it's not. I got kind of deep into Quinn and Brittany's emotions and I didn't plan that so yeah. The next chapter sure be the last. I am sorry it took me so long to update.
