Chapter 4

Santana couldn't help but be nervous and pull away from Dani as the other blonde approached them, "Santana? I thought you were helping your grandma, what are you doing here?" Britney asks, appearing to be a mixture of both confused and annoyed.

Oh shit… Why am I feeling guilty when I haven't done anything? Oh yeah, my feelings for Dani and for not telling my girlfriend about Dani... Oh shit. Thought Santana.

"I was, I am, I'm just grabbing a coffee with a friend first..." Before the brunette could even finish her sentence the pissed off blonde interrupted.

"Really? So you told me you couldn't come round after school because you needed to help your grandma with something but you're here with a chick I've never even seen before?" Britney turns to a slightly stunned Dani, "And who exactly are you?"

"Hey I'm Dani, look it sounds like you guys have some stuff to sort out, so I'm just going to go." Dani said as she got her stuff together. The last thing Santana wanted was for Dani to walk away, which made her realise that she should be more concerned about her girlfriend.

However she figured she needed to let Dani leave otherwise it would just make matters worse, she tried to make eye contact before she left but Dani wouldn't even look at her which made her heart sink a little bit.

"Santana are you cheating on me?" Asked Britney, sitting down in the now vacant space left by Dani, effectively bringing Santana back to the moment.

"Seriously Brit?" She sighs, "Are you seriously asking me this? I thought after everything we've been through you'd know I would never cheat on you, you know I'm not that kind of person. Look, Dani is a friend. We met last week, St. James was giving her a hard time so I told him off. I ended up walking her home on my way to my Abuela's last week. That's it."

Britney just sits there and looks at her, trying to figure out if she's telling the truth, "So all you did was help her, walk her home and then come for coffee today?" She asks, Santana just nods her head because really, that's all that has happened (you know, minus the whole cheek kissing and potential feelings). "Wow, so you've been there for some random girl you met three days ago more than your girlfriend recently. You can't blame me for being suspicious when you pull shit like this! I swear sometimes it's like you don't even want to be with me!" Britney stresses.

The Latina and blonde just sit there for a few minutes staring at each other until Santana breaks the silence again, "I can't believe it, it always comes back to this – either I'm a cheat or I'm never there for you. Brit, I'm there as much as I can be, admittedly sometimes I have things going on but I don't think that means I'm never there!"

It's like a switch just flips, "You're right baby, how about we just forget this ever happened and just enjoy some time together? I could even come and finally meet your Abuela?" Britney says, smile on her face the entire time.

Santana sighs, knowing what she needs to do. "I don't think that's a good idea Brit. I's sorry, but I think we should break up, it's just not working anymore. I really care for you, I honestly do, but lately everything between us has been super strained and we argue all the time."

Britney's eyes almost bug out of her head hearing this, slightly tearing up in the process, "Baby, no! That's not what I want, we'll get past this – we always do! Don't give up on this, on us. I thought you loved me? Is this because of this Dani girl or Quinn, I swear…" Britney starts before Santana cuts her off.

"Brit, stop. I do love you, I'm just not in love with you anymore and saying that is so fucking hard and I never wanted to hurt you but this just isn't working anymore. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to Dani, but she never did anything to trigger this and I'm not just going to run off to be with her or anyone else." Santana reaches across to take the other girls hands in her own, "It's for the best, I think in time we could even be friends again. I know you'll probably want nothing to do with me for a while, but I'm always here for you okay? I still care." They make eye contact, Santana smiles gently at the other girl and gives her hands a small reassuring squeeze.

Knowing how stubborn the Latina is, the blonde just nods back, "Okay, I get it. But San, you'll either regret this or I'll win you back." Britney states with a determined look in her eye, before Santana could even get a word out the blonde drops her hands and leaves.

Well, that went a lot better than I planned. Just hope I haven't completely fucked up with Dani. With that Santana takes out her phone.

*To Dani*

Please let me explain everything, just 5 minutes and then you can decide if you ever want to talk to me again.

Being patient has never been a strong suit for the Latina, every second felt like a minute waiting for a response to come from the other girl. She jumped up and ran out at the response she got back.

*From Dani*

Okay, the park a block over from my house. Meet me there.

Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
