Thanks for the comments guys. Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. So without further delay here is Chapter 3.
I was nervous. Granted it was only my first week back in Ohio and the people who hated me before wanted to be my friends, well except for Quinn. As I sat and watched both the football team and cheer squad practice I couldn't help but let myself think about how life was before I had moved.
We had just finished practice and were in the locker room changing. I spared a glance over to my best friend Santana and knew I shouldn't have. Not like anyone knew my secret.
"What are you looking at Gab?" Santana asked me.
"Just looking over at the wall." I lied. I could tell she didn't believe me. The girls were starting to leave to go home. Soon it was just me and Santana.
"Gab come on it's me your talking to. What's going on?" I knew she was worried but I still didn't want her to find out. How exactly do you tell your best friend that you've been in love with them for the last year. Let alone that you were gay.
"I just have a lot on my mind right now and I zoned out. I'm sorry."
"Hey whatever it is you can tell me." I wasn't to sure about that.
"Have you ever been in love with someone and been to afraid to tell them because if you did then bad things might happen not only to you but to them as well?"
"No can't say I have but if that's what has you worried just tell whoever it is that you like him." Of course she thought I was talking about a guy.
"Gab!" Santana yelled from in front of the bleachers. It had pulled me back to reality. "You ready to go home?"
"Yeah let's go." I made my way down to her and we walked to my car in silence. I didn't know how to start the conversation that needed to be had. Apparently neither did she. When we got to the student lot I unlocked my car and held the door open for her. She got in and I went to the driver side and got in.
"Gabriella I know I don't deserve it but I really would like to be friends again." Santana said breaking the silence.
"I know but I don't think I can be friends with the person I've been in love with for the last two years." I told her. It wasn't a lie but I felt bad for saying it out loud. I had the opportunity to have one of my closest friends back.
"Then let me prove that your feelings weren't one sided." Wait what? Was Santana really telling me that she felt the same way?
"How?"
"Go out with me. I promise you that I won't treat you like I did." Santana sounded like she was begging for the chance to be with me.
"I don't known Santana. What is Quinn gonna think?"
"Fuck Quinn." Wow. "This is what I want. I am in charge of my own life and I definitely don't let Quinn run it."
"So you really what to be with me. Like as my girlfriend and not just my friend?" She nodded. "San you realize that people won't like it if we start dating."
"I know. Oh and don't worry about taking me home. We can go to yours instead." She said so I turned on to my street. Once I pulled into my driveway and turned the car off I looked at the girl sitting beside me for the first time since school let out. Santana was sitting there with her mouth wide open. The next car to pull in was Sharpay's pink mustang.
"Who is that?"
"That's Sharpay and her twin brother Ryan. They moved out here with us when their parents opened up their new club." I said as we watched the two of them walk into the house. "Would you like to see the inside. I can guarantee you that it looks better than the outside." Santana laughed.
"I would love to." We both got out and went inside.
"Gabi?" I could hear Ryan's voice from the top of the steps.
"Yeah Ry it's me." I called up to him. He came down but stopped just in front of the stairs.
"Hi. I didn't realize someone was with you." He looked from me to Santana. "I'm Ryan Evans."
"Santana Lopez." She said to him. "I used to be on the cheer squad with Gab."
"Gabi you're home!" Sharpay said running down the stairs. She crashed right into me nearly knocking Santana over in the process.
"Sharpay we talked about this I need to breath." I said and she let go of me. "Santana this is Sharpay, Ryan's twin."
"Nice to meet you Sharpay." I could tell Santana was getting over whelmed.
"Okay if my mom needs me tell her I'm up in my room." I tell the twins then turn to Santana. "Come on." She follows me up to my room. This house is brand new and has many rooms. Sharpay, Ryan and I have our own but if you didn't know your way around you would get lost.
"This place is huge." Santana said. I had to laugh.
"Yeah Sharpay and Ryan's dad designed it. But once you get the lay of it down it's not that bad." We had finally made it to my room. We walked inside and I had put my stuff by my desk.
"So, do they pretty much keep to themselves?"
"Yeah, or they spend their time working on new routine." She gave me a confusing look. "They were the co-presidents of the drama club back in New Mexico."
"Gotcha." She started looking around my room. she went over and sat on my bed. I got up from my spot at the desk and went over to her. The look in her eyes told me she was nervous, but she didn't seem like she wanted to leave. I stepped back and she stood up. I closed the distance between us and kissed her with every ounce of love I had for her. She switched spots and started pushing me to the bed without breaking the kiss. The back of my knees hit the bed and I sat down and Santana climbed onto my lap. We stayed that way making out for a good ten minutes. A knock on my bedroom door pulled us back to reality.
"Gabi is it ok to come in?" It was Sharpay. I was gonna kill her.
