Santana and Brittany walk in the choir room on Monday on an all-time high, they won sectionals last Friday, and it felt awesome. Also they finally came official, and it feels so good to be openly with the girl you love. The school reactions today were not bad, some stares and whispers, but nothing too bad yet at least.
They sit next to each other and Brittany starts rambling about cats while waiting for Mr. Shue and a couple other kids to arrive.
"You are t-the cutest e-ever Britt," Santana admits bashfully, bopping the blonde's nose lightly.
"Thanks San," Brittany whispers out, blushing so hard her cheeks are almost red.
The two stare into each other, like they do a lot, their unspoken words of love transmitting between them.
"Come here San," Brittany soon pulls her into the kiss. It starts of soft, but soon gets sloppy, Santana parts her lips a bit, allowing the blonde to insert her tongue in, but before it goes any further, Quinn soon speaks out.
"Alright lovebirds c'mon pull away before I barf."
"I thought it was hot," Puck states, Rachel hits him on the back of the head, scowling.
They pull away as Brittany strokes Santana's cheek, making her smile.
"W-Well Quinn at least I-I'm dating someone," Santana rolls her eyes jokingly as she looks at the other blonde.
The choir room erupts in laughter and giggles.
"Oh wow San, that's a low blow," Quinn answers sarcastically, "Your wrong actually."
"Dang Quinn, who's the lucky person?" Artie questions. The whole club nods in agreement, looking for an answer.
Just as Quinn was about to respond, Finn, Sam, and Mr. Shue walk in. Finn looks furious as he stops and looks at the club before he moves to a chair in the back corner with the sourest expression on his face.
"Alright everybody!" Mr. Shue exclaims. "So last week we won sectionals." The group cheers. "Regionals are in a little over 3 months away in February, so we don't have to prepare for that just yet."
"This week I want to tap deep into your hidden secrets, I'm gonna call it Confessionals Week. Each of you has to admit and deep secret or something you feel ashamed about through song. It doesn't matter, everyone has to participate this week. Now start thinking of ideas by yourself."
Brittany was nervous, she didn't have a lot of big secrets, besides her past. It was the only one she could admit, when she got home she'll have to talk to Santana about what she's gonna do.
When the girls get home, they go straight to Brittany's room and sit on the bed and start their Spanish homework in comfortable silence. Brittany soon breaks it thought.
"San?" she says meekly, and very un-Brittany like.
The Latina looks up, concerned," Yeah b-baby."
"For Mr. Shue's assignment, what are you doing for it."
"U-Uh well, I'm singing about my little brother, I-I really miss him a lot. There's s-so much I'm m-missing in his life, ya know." Santana chokes up and stops for a second, looking into the blonde's eyes quickly before re-focusing her attention back at her homework
"Coco was his f-favorite move, and I use to s-sing the song, 'Remember M-Me' as a lullaby every night to him, and the l-lyrics kind of explain w-what I feel."
"I've never seen Coco." Brittany softly confesses.
"After I p-perform tomorrow we have to w-watch it. I know y-you'll love it baby," Santana assured. "What a-are you doing?"
"I was thinking about singing about…. him, putting all my emotions and letting it out, but I'm scared Sanny." Brittany quietly admits.
Santana lays back on the bed's headboard and calls Brittany over, "Come here Britt." Brittany soon presses herself into Santana's embrace. The Latina strokes the blonde's cheek.
"L-Listen, you don't have t-to do that, you can tell M-Mr. Shue that you can't."
"But then people are gonna get suspicious, and then they're gonna pester me. It's okay San, I had a song in mind anyways."
"Which song b-baby?"
"'I've got to go now' by Toni Childs, but I'm gonna need your killer guitar skills to help me." Brittany remarked, her grin re-appearing.
"I'll do a-anything for you Brittany." Santana kisses Brittany softly on the forehead.
Brittany walks out of her 1st period Math class the next day, going to pick up Santana from her Earth Science class so they could drop stuff in their lockers and head to glee club.
She creeps behind Santana and taps her on her shoulder, the Latina turns around with a smile.
"C'mon! Let's got baby," Brittany exclaims.
"H-Hold on Britt, I need t-to stop by my locker."
They go to her locker, which is adjacent to Brittany's, and she puts her Science book back, as they talk about how excited they are for Literature later, when Karofsky and Finn come and scare them from behind.
"Well, isn't it the school's new dykes, Blondie you can do so much better than Lepez." Karofsky shouts, pinning himself onto Britt. Finn just stands there, watching.
"L-Leave my girlfriend alone y-you idiot! All you insecure ass j-jocks do is pick on us, well l-look at me D-Dave." The entire hallway hushes, no one ever calls Karofsky by his first name.
"If you, and y-your little 'c-crew' think you can hurt Britt o-or any of my glee f-friends, you w-will pay, I'm fed up and t-tired." Santana screamed, her eyes widened, remembering that she said this out loud.
Dave soon gets off Brittany and goes to her and strikes her on the cheek. It instantly throbs, and Santana winces.
"Don't, ever talk to me like that again, you got it?" All Santana does is stare deep into his eyes.
"I think you'll enjoy what's coming next, it's long overdue for reinstating." Dave spits out.
Soon Santana feels the cold burning sensation of slushy coming down on her head. Finn watches her, then him and Karofsky walk away.
"Brittany?" Santana tries to wipe the substance off her eyes with her shirt, but it burns really bad. She can soon open them wide enough to see Brittany leaned against her locker like a statue, her eyes wide.
"Britt it's o-okay, come on look a-at me. "she persisted.
The blonde soon goes into the Latina's arms unexpectedly; it makes Santana stumble a bit.
"I-I-I…" Brittany stumbles out.
"Shh, Baby I-I know." Santana tightens her hold around her.
They hold each other for about 10 minutes, until Santana speaks again.
"Baby."
"Yeah." Brittany sniffles out.
"I would love to hold you forever, but I would like t-to go clean myself up, and then go to glee c-club? Santana whispers.
"I don't want to go San, I just want to stay here." Brittany meekly states.
"I know." Santana kisses her forehead. "B-But I have to perform today, a-after, we can go home and w-watch Lady and the Tramp?"
Brittany smiles, "That sounds good, c'mon lets go check out your bruise on your face as well, I hate seeing you hurt."
In the choir room
walks in to the choir room to see everyone yelling loudly.
"Hey! Kids what's going on?"
"We haven't seen Santana and Brittany all day." Mike answers.
"They always make it on time and are cuddling in the back by the time we all arrive." Tina added.
Finn stays silent, looking the other way.
"Finn, what happened." Rachel firmly questions. Finn doesn't answer.
They all gasp when they see the girls walk into the room, Brittany's eyes are red, and Santana's curly hair is wet, and she has a giant bruise on her cheek.
"Girls what happened?" questions, clearly concerned.
"Finn and K-Karosfky." Santana mumbles.
"What did they do?" Mercedes asks.
"Finn slushed San, and Karosfky was pressing up on me…um when Santana yelled at him and he smacked her." Brittany replied softly.
The whole room gasped and an eerie silence fills the room. Rachel moves out of her seat from Finn, and goes to Quinn.
"Santana is your cheek okay?" Artie asks.
"W-Worse has happened to me, I-I'll live." She whispers out.
"You girls have to go report this." Mr. Shue says.
"Can w-we do it after this, I want t-to get my confession out." Santana answers.
"Fine, the stage is your Santana." Mr. Shue sighs out.
Santana leads Brittany to her chair and softly caress her cheek and smiles before going to perform. She grabs the guitar to her left and starts to strum.
Santana:
Remember me
Though I have to say goodbye
Remember me
Don't let it make you cry
The glee club could tell something was different about Santana when she sang that, they could feel the emotion reeking from her, also they could see the tears starting to form.
For even if I'm far away I hold you in my heart
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart
Remember me
Though I have to travel far
Remember me
Each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again
Remember me
She stops strumming and sniffles as the whole club gives her roaring applause. She goes to sit next to Brittany, who whispers, "That was so beautiful baby."
"Santana, I think we could all agree that that was amazing, some of the kids are in tears." Mr. Shue speaks out. "What was the story behind it?'
"It's a-about my little brother, Ant."
"Ant?" Mr. Shue questions.
"Sorry, his f-full name is Antonio, he's 7. Ever since I-I was kicked out, I've only seen him o-once, when I was in the h-hospital, and that was really s-short. I just feel like I'm missing out on him g-g-growing up and it's my fault."
"Santana, baby, It's not your fault, its Finn's he outed you in the first place." Brittany speaks out, wrapping her hands around Santana's waist.
The whole club looks at Finn, he mutters out," It's not my fault she decided to be a dyke."
"You know what? I'm d-done! Finn you have made m-my life a living hell sine l-last year, I'm over it! You think I w-would choose to be disowned? Do you think I would want to b-be looked as a s-sin by my p-parents? You're such a d-dumbass if you think so. I'm sorry Mr. Shue, I can't be in here if he is." Santana storms out.
"Finn, you disgust me." Brittany scoffs as she grabs her and Santana's belongings and walks out after her.
"I'm sorry Mr. Shue, I don't stand with him." Tina says as she leaves, Mike follows her.
"I agree," Artie rolls out with Puck, Sam, and Quinn.
"Finn, I really thought you learned something from being my brother, I guess I was wrong." Kurt leaves.
"All I'm saying Finn, is we're through." Rachel snapped as she goes to follow Kurt.
"Finn, you need to make things right, you're in some serious trouble." Mr. Shue says firmly, he picks up his bags and walks out.
Finn sits alone in the chair, thinking what he did to deserve this.
Part one of Confessions week is done! I'm gonna probably upload part two tomorrow and rename the chapters. And yes I know Coco was released in 2017, but it fit really well, and the song is beautiful, so we're gonna roll with it :) Don't forget to give feedback!
