A/N I do not own Glee. Hi! Thank you for all of your supports! This chapter, I wanted to introduce you to the new character! I'm sorry for not updating regularly. My school started again so I'm busy these days. Anyway, enjoy new chapter! Always REVIEW!
It has been few months since the incident in the coffee shop. It seems that Justin finally got over him during these months and went back to his usual himself. Marina and Chloe were closer than ever, and so did Santana and Brittany.
Today was not different from any other days. Marina and Chloe were now in Junior year of high school while Justin was in Sophomore year of high school.
"How are you doing, huh?" Said Rose as she sat down next to Marina. Rose was Marina's best friend since forever. They first became friends when they punched bullies, who was bullying a girl in the playground, together in the kindergarten. Ever since then, they were inseparable. She had curly black hair with tan skin. She was little bit tall and she always wore her black leather jacket. In one word, she was badass.
"Good." Marina replied short as she continued to chew on her food. "What's up?"
"Well… I dumped James." Rose said quietly as she started to eat lunch too. Marina looked up from her lunch surprisingly.
"Really? I thought you guys were going great. What happened?" Rose and James were kind of couple that couldn't keep their hands off of each other. They made a cute couple together, so it was a surprise to Marina.
"That bastard cheated on me." Rose said angrily and stood up. "I'm going. See ya later." She hurried off to somewhere.
Marina just stared at her best friend's retreating form. Rose was always guarded person, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get hurt. She reminded herself to check on her after school.
…
Saying Justin was surprised was an understatement. When he first walked down the hallway, he never expected this to happen. He caught a glimpse of a boy with black hair when he was walking to his locker. His gut told him to follow him for some reason and he decided to follow his gut. He walked fast down the hall to catch him. The boy seemed familiar. When he finally managed to caught his elbow, that boy turned around.
Justin couldn't close his mouth. It was Ethan who was standing in front of him. Ethan seemed surprised too. He had his mouth open and his eyes were wide with shock. Few seconds passed by and Ethan seemed to regain his ability to think. He turned around quickly and walked away.
"Wait!" Justin shouted as he ran towards him. Because he had his mom's athletic gene, Justin was able to caught him without much difficulty. He grabbed his wrist making him turn around. "Wait."
Ethan looked horrified. He was trembling a little and his face was pale like all of his blood was gone. Justin didn't know what to say. He ran after him in an instinct. He had no plan what to do or say when he finally caught him. When he opened his mouth to say something, anything, he just closed his mouth again. He let go of his wrist and stares at his own feet. After few seconds, Ethan was gone.
…
When the clock hit 12, Santana grabbed her purse and hurriedly went out of her work. She had huge grin plastered on her face. They planned on their lunch date and Santana was so excited about it. They were always so busy with work, especially when Brittany started her own dance studio, they hardly got time for each other. It led them to constant fight and eventually it effected their marriage. But now, they tried their best to balance work and family and their marriage have been going strong ever since then. Through experience, they realized that it was stupid reason to fight because they are a soulmate.
Santana was the first one to reach destination. She had reserved it, so she took her seat first and decided to wait for her. As she went through some boring news on her phone, door jingled and blonde beauty walked in. She looked up from her phone to find Brittany holding white lilies. God, she never failed to take my breath away.
"Hey, San. I brought you some white lilies? You know, lesbian flowers." Brittany grinned and gave it to her. Santana took it gratefully and stood up. Smiling, she pulled Brittany in for a kiss.
"You're so romantic." Santana mumbled through the kiss. Brittany laughed slightly at that. After few more pecks, they decided to seat down. They ordered their usual spaghetti and meatball to share.
"Hey, look San. I know I always do this, but I'm so proud of me so…" Brittany stared at meatball intensely. She slowly lowered her head and inched closer to the meatball. With serious face she rolled the meatball with her nose. Santana was laughing so hard beside her. Even though she saw it every time they ordered spaghetti and meatball, it never failed to get her laugh.
"Ew, Britt. We told kids not to play with food… But you're so cute." Santana chuckled. Brittany had tomato sauce on her nose. She adorably crinkled her nose a bit. Santana leaned in and kissed her nose.
"I love you so much." "Ditto."
After few minutes just enjoying each other's presence in silence, Santana decided to talk about her plan.
"I've been thinking about Glee reunion. I asked Quinn and she said she got Rachel's number. (I knew she and Rachel had a thing, Brittany said besides her) And of course Berry has almost everyone's number. So I think we can actually make Glee reunion work." Santana said smiling at Brittany enthusiasm.
"Yay! We should start planning, San!" She jumped on her spot and that made Santana giggle. "Okay, Britt-Britt."
…
After the final bell rang, Marina decided to check on Rose. She waited for her best friend by the locker. Few minutes later, Rose showed up with frown on her face.
"Hey." Rose said shortly and grabbed her things from the locker. Marina waited for her to finish. When Rose finally shut (slammed) the door, Marina started to follow her to the school exit.
"You okay? I mean although Froggy face was a dickhead, break up still sucks." Marina said trying to comfort her best friend. She knows that Rose is not a fan of words, she's more of a physical person, but she wanted her to know that she can talk to her.
"I'm fine. Just… Can we have movie night like we have planned?" Rose asked. They always had their movie night no matter what happened. It has been their own little tradition since they could remember. Even if they fought, they always showed up at their movie night.
"Sure. Meet you at 7 your house?" Rose nodded. "Sure."
…
Marina walked to Rose's house, the path that she walked countless times that she knew this path like back of her hand. As she mindlessly walked, she arrived at her destination in the blink of her eye. She knocked on the front door twice and waited. There was some loud noise inside the house and few seconds later, the door opened.
"Hey. Come in." Rose had clear path of tear tracks on her face. Frowning, Marina stepped inside the house. They went up stair to Rose's room and sat down on her bed. Opening the laptop, they started to scroll through movies on Netflix without any word. They just decided to watch crappy comedy movie. With ice cream in their hands, they watched movie in silence.
When they watched about half of the movie, Rose broke the silence. "I'm not sad because I broke up with James. I'm sad because my parents are divorcing. I don't know why. We were happy you know? I just had to break up with him. I couldn't babysit that asshole anymore. It's too much. My parents are divorcing and I have a crappy boyfriend who gives me constant stress. You know what I mean?" Rose finally broke down into sob. Marina held her close as possible, trying to comfort her. Rose continued to cry and Marina just held her close. They didn't need any words.
Eventually, Rose cried herself to sleep. Watching her peacefully asleep made Marina feel better. She tucked her in and changed into one of Rose's pajama. She slid in the bed beside her and turned off the light.
"I can't promise your life will be alright now, but I hope your life gets better."
…
Warm sunlight woke Marina from her sleep. Not ready to open her eyes yet, she grunts and turns around. When she turned around, she could smell familiar smell of shampoo. Soft hair tickled her nose. Opening her eyes a little, she finds two brown eyes staring intensely at her. Shocked, her eyes flied open and Marina jumped on her spot and sat up.
"What the…! You scared the shit out of me, creep!" Marina said playfully, now remembering last night's event. Rose smiled back.
"I just woke up too, you dumbass." Rose raised her pillow and sat up as well.
"Don't you dare do that." Marina's face was serious but her eyes were still playful.
"Do what?" Rose asked innocently and hit her with her pillow. Pillow war is now on. Marina struck back at her with the pillow and Rose tried to keep hitting her. After few minutes, both of them were breathing heavily, their hair was a mess, and they were laughing. Their laughter died down slowly pillow war stopped.
"Hey, I want to say thank you for staying with me yesterday. You're really good friend." Rose said with her unique husky voice. Marina smiled at her brightly.
"Well, don't expect me to be always this mushy. Tomorrow, I'm going back to Snixx Jr." "Tomorrow?" "Yes, Tomorrow. Today, I plan on staying mushy and sappy with you."
