Okay… I have a lot of stories going that aren't finished and I don't leave any half assed… which means they will not be subpar (I won't rush the damn ending) but I can't help the ideas that flow through my mind… it's insane. So I need some help. Firstly I need help continuing some stories because I have come to a block on where to go so I need some direction. I also am informed I need a beta… my grammar isn't all that great and so far I haven't cared to much for it cause I just like getting the story out there, new chapters and such. But I've been told a few times. Now I have no idea exactly what they are supposed to do either than look for and fix mistakes, which I wouldn't mind. I've had an offer to help one of my Twilight Bellice stories, but I need someone for… well everything else. If no one wants to, no hard feelings; as far as I'm concerned as long as I keep updating I should be fine. I am only using a trial Microsoft office 2010… if anyone has something better that doesn't require money please let me know. Anyway, here is my new story idea, I've read two that have same bases, which is Santana being in the military, but I'm working off the fourth season of the show right after Diva. So anything after Diva, ignore it; it doesn't exist in my world.
Santana's POV
I've had it. It was my fault but I have had it. I let her go and now she's moved on to someone, not better, but someone else. But I still can't believe she really told me to leave, to find someone else as if there was someone else I could possibly be with. I have no idea what to do with my life now, no more college, Brittany doesn't want me here and my parents are on fucking vacation.
I walk pass a store when the woman catches my attention.
"Excuse me miss?" she asks, I look over and see she's in a military uniform. I furrow my brow and walk over to her, curious as to what she might want from me.
"Yes?" I ask when I'm in front of her.
"You seem to be in perfect shape… tell me have you ever thought about joining the military?" she asks with hopeful eyes. I look up and see it's a department for recruiting into the military.
"Maybe once or twice, my uncle was a medic in the military and I always thought it would be cool," I reply, she smiled brightly.
"Well, maybe you could take a look at this. It has all the listen benefits of joining, and describes each branch and the requirements for each one," she says. She hands me a pamphlet and I take it. I glance over it and look back up at her and nod with a smile. I walk over to a bench and sit, opening my pamphlet. While I read I start to realize that maybe this is it for me. I have nothing here for me, I can't go to college now, and no one will miss me. I mean originally they hated me so I assume. Brittany's happy with Sam, Mercedes is doing her own work, Puck is living it up in LA doing god knows what. Finn is coaching Glee, Mr. Schue is getting married and trying to keep arts program alive. Rachel and Kurt are in New York living their dreams, Mike in dance college, and Quinn is queen of Yale. Everyone else is on school graduating so they can do their dreams. Me… I have nothing. No plans, no dreams. It's just me sitting on a bench. But joining could give me quite a bit, health care, college funding so I can get a career.
No one will miss me.
I stand and I walk over to the woman who sees me and smiles.
"Back already?" she asks.
"Yeah, where do I sign up?" I ask her, she smiles at me.
"Well, first have you really thought it through? Once you sign up and join, you can't just quit in the middle. You have to complete the contract given and it's very strict, no lip, no whining, no nothing other than complete discipline. And you will have to deal with some men who don't think woman belong there," she explains. I stare at her for a minute before nodding.
"Yeah, I have thought it through," I answer her.
"Well which branch seems most interesting to you?" she asks.
"Marines," I answer automatically. She gives me astonished eyes before nodding.
"Well then, down the hall to your right," she says. I thank her and walk down the aisle.
I take many tests, to see if I'm healthy, in shape and have the endurance and stamina I need to survive basic training. The recruiter looks at me and smiles.
"Well ma'am, it's been a while since we've gotten a female volunteer that was in this kind of condition. Welcome to the ranks of a soldier. Now mind that you aren't officially one till you fully complete the basic training course. I'll call you and let you know the details, such as where you will be training and when you'll be departing. Here's a list of what you will need and a form to verify that you have permission to purchase these items along with getting your military I.D. it's best you say goodbye to whomever your loved ones are, because you aren't going to see them in a few months, and if you complete te training, you might not see them for years. I wish you best of luck ma'am," he says with a smile. I nod and thank him before exiting. My body is burning a little from the tests, but it's nothing I wasn't used to from cheerleading practice. I sigh when I walk out.
When I get back to my deserted house I sit down on the couch and pull my phone out before searching for Brittany's number. I hesitate before calling, knowing that I should at least tell her I was leaving. The phone rings a few times before her voicemail pops up.
Hi! You've reached Brittany S. Peirce sorry I didn't answer, but I will get back to you soon. Thank you for calling BEEP….
Beep.
I smile hearing Brittany say beep for the machine, before I recollect myself.
"Um, hey Britt… it's Santana. I am… going to be leaving for a while. I just wanted you to know and maybe have you call me back so I can tell you what's up and what I'm doing and let you relay that to everyone else. It's really important so call me back as soon as possible. Love you," I say before ending the call. I sigh and lean back.
At Mickenly during Glee practice. Normal Pov
They were just done rehearsing and Sam was gathering his and Brittany's stuff when he noticed a message on Brittany's phone flashing. He looked at it to see a missed call from Santana on the screen.
"She never knows when to give up," Sam mutters, he looks to Brittany who is having a discussion with Marley before he quickly deletes Santana's message.
"What are you doing?" Unique asks raising an eyebrow at him.
"What? Uh nothing," Sam says. Unique rolls her eyes.
"Mhm, whatever, I don't need to get caught up in your drama," she says before walking away. Sam lets out a breath of relief and brings Brittany her things.
"Thanks Sammy," Brittany says and kisses him on the cheek. He smile and see's Unique shaking her head at him before walking out of the choir room.
Few weeks later, airport.
Santana was sitting and waiting for her plane to arrive. She was nervous but also hurt. She looked around and saw nearly everyone there with someone. She was hurt mostly… Brittany never called her back.
"Flight 3:00 to San Diego" a voice said through an intercom. Santana stood and looked around… no one was coming to wish her farewell. She felt her throat close up, but shut her eyes and walked towards the entry.
So much for once a family, always a family.
Santana thought to herself before boarding the plane.
Sorry for any mistakes, I personally have no idea what goes on once recruited or their system, but I did the best I could. As for the plane thing… yeah never been on a plane, never been to an airport so sorry if I messed up there. Please read a review.
