*Brittany's POV*

It was weird waking up knowing that today was the day we'd see the Glee Club again. I know for a fact Santana is going to freak out before we go into that room and see everyone, what if she backs out? I don't know what I'd do if she did that. I love her so much that I can't help but hope for the best but I'm worried I'm setting myself up for failure.

"Hey babe" Santana says whilst rubbing the sleep from her eyes

"Hi" I mumble

"Britt? Is something wrong?" Santana says as she leans up to look me in the eyes

"Santana? Can you promise me something?" I whisper with tears in my eyes

"Brittany? Yes of course. Whatever it is, I promise. I hate seeing you sad Britt, I hate it please tell me what's wrong" Santana said as she rubbed the tears that had fallen down my cheeks

"Promise me you won't back out when we go to the Glee Club? Promise you'll walk in holding my and we'll tell them everything that happened. About your dad, about my parents, about all the pain we both went through and how we found each other again. I know how hard this is for you and I'm scared you'll freak out and run away from me" I sob just letting everything be released, all my feelings and fears out on the table for her to see.

"I didn't know that you felt like that" Santana whispers after almost 5 minutes of silence "Britt, I'm sorry I made you feel that way, so frigging sorry. I promise I won't back out, if this is what I need to do for you to fully trust me then I'll do it! I'll do whatever you need me to do! I swear Brittany" She tells me tears threatening to fall from her eyes and I actually believe her.

"I believe you Santana." I whisper before leaning in and kissing her on the forehead. Suddenly there was a loud banging on our door.

"Santana! Brittany! Get up! We're going to be late for the Glee reunion" Rachel's voice echoed through the door. We both giggled before climbing out of bed and getting dressed. Santana wore tight leather pants with a white v-neck t shirt and a black leather jacket. I on the other hand wore a pair of jeans with a baggy jumper with a cat on it. We walked downstairs hand in hand and were met with Quinn, Rachel and Mrs Lopez sat in the living room.

"Are you ready Mija?" Santana's Mother asked while she walked in front of Santana

"I think so Mami" Santana smiles nodding her head

"San? It's time to go" I whisper in her ear as Quinn and Rachel into the car. Santana takes a deep breath and entwines her fingers with mine.

*Santana's POV*

I'm terrified. I know the route like the back of my hand and with Quinn's driving we're getting there much quicker than anticipated. We're literally minutes away and I'm now beginning to panic, but I made a promise to Brittany and I intend on keeping that promise. We pull up just outside the old high school. God, I used to roam those halls like I owned the place and now I'm scared to even enter the building. So much has changed since then, I've grown. I'm ready to show everyone my love for Brittany. The four of us are stood side by side on the steps leading to McKinley's entrance, Brittany reached down and grasped my hand

"You ready for this?" Brittany asked

"Ready as I'll ever be" I tell her. Rachel couldn't wait any longer, she pulled open the doors and there it was, those hallways that hold so many memories for the four of us. It was almost breath taking being back there. We headed down the hallway to the room we all knew to well. The choir room. It felt like we were walking in slow motion like Charlie's Angels but with 4 of us. It was kind of daunting knowing that our past friends, enemies and lovers are sat in that room, I don't know about Britt but I'm shitting myself right now. I look to my left and see Quinn and Rachel were hand in hand and the smiles on their faces showed it all they couldn't wait to be out and proud and together. Britt on the other hand looked more scared than I was I stopped them just as we reached the choir room door and I turned to face them all. Brittany had tears brimming in her eyes and my heart sank.

"Britt. It's ok. I'm ok, you're ok, were ok. I'm ready. I'm so ready for all of this to be over. I want you to be brave and be strong because right now you're the only thing stopping me from running away and getting on a plane to Australia. Take my hand and we'll do this. I love you" I whisper those last three words so only she can hear them and she leans in and kisses me softly. Without another word she takes my hand and nods to Quinn and Rachel who open the choir room door and we walk in. Rachel and Quinn stood close beside each other and I stood with my hand in Brittany's. But I started to feel the panic rising and so I unhooked my hand from Britt's and linked my pinky through hers just like we used too.

"Rachel Berry" I hear a voice coming from across the room and see Finn Hudson smiling widely he clambers off his chair and walks over to her. I see Brittany run over to Mercedes and Quinn heads straight for Artie they all look so happy. I stayed in the shadows by the door I would have just walked out if it wasn't for Mike

"Santana? Is that you?" He whispers stopping everyone in their tracks and everyone faces me

"Umm hey" I say "I know most of you are probably still mad at me for what happen senior year but I have a reason for that. I swear I do. Please give me a chance to tell you?" I said looking at the ground. There was silence for what felt like an hour but in reality it was probably 2 minutes.

"Well, everyone take a seat" Mr Schue said "Santana the floor is yours" I took a seat by the piano and breathed in deeply

"The day before senior year started my dad was shot and killed by a police officer at the corner shop near my house. Me and my papi we were so close for years he was the only person I trusted. I didn't even trust my mom until he passed away. It was the day Britt was coming back from holiday so I was super excited because she was my best friend and I missed her she usually came over after she arrived home so I stayed by the door and waited for hours. It got quite late and my papi walked past and I started crying saying things about Britt hating me. So he did what he always did when I was said he told me that he was going to buy ice cream and we were gonna watch our movie. He didn't come back. I blamed Brittany and along with that I blamed you all. I'm so so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone I just didn't see the point of living or being kind or nice or anything anymore. Life seemed pointless and I had nothing. SO instead I learned how to play bass guitar and that's been my go to every time I felt upset or angry or sad I'd just play." I whispered and then looked up and saw a mess of blonde hair running towards me she enveloped me in her arms, she was crying and I hugged her back and held her tightly

"I love you" she whispered shakily and at that moment nothing could hurt me

"Santana? I'm. No WE're so sorry. We didn't know. We accept your apology and realise that you're not the bitch we all thought you were you were just hurting and that's ok because it's ok to cry sometimes" Kurt spoke up and I looked around the room to see everyone with sympathetic smiles on their faces.

"Group hug?" Quinn said and everyone got up and cuddled into me and Brittany. This is where we belong. This is my family.

"Ok ok. My turn" Brittany said pulling away from the hug I went and sat back down in her seat "My parents kicked me out because I'm gay. Months after we graduated someone called my mom, at work and told her I was gay. And that was it, my family gone not just my mom and my dad, my little sister was taken from me, none of my family speak to me anymore. They all blocked me on facebook, mom cut off my debit card, but I had just enough time to buy a plane ticket to NYC before I got cut off. I got that plane and headed to New York, no plan, hardly any money and nowhere to live. I had nothing, so I ended up living on the streets of New York begging people for money I barely had enough for food and water. I knew that that was how I was going to die and I was ready to die. I wanted to die. I had nothing left. It got so bad at one point I hadn't eaten for 2 days and all I had to drink was half a bottle of water from the bins I collapsed on the sidewalk outside an apartment building and then I woke up in someone's apartment. It was Quinn's, Santana's and Rachel's. They took me in and basically brought me back from the dead. Not only was it the living on the streets that was killing me, but I started cutting a long time ago. I thought I'd kicked the addiction I had to it but I hadn't, I constantly have to wear long sleeved tops and jeans to cover the scars left behind" She tells them and they all run to her and hug her tightly knowing that she just needed to feel a sense of family.

After a bunch of caring words towards Britt and I we decided that we were going to tell them about the recording contract.

"Ok Quinn, Rachel, Britt and I would like to make an announcement" I yell

"We started a band and we have been signed to a record label!" Everyone starts to scream and cheer and we couldn't stop smiling!

"Will you perform for us?" Artie asked and we smiled and went across to the instruments. "Falling for you on 3?" I said and they all nodded

During the performance Britt and I couldn't stop staring at each other knowing the true meaning behind the song. It was probably the most passionately we'd ever performed because it was in front of an audience who loved us.

"Mr Schue? Can I say something" Quinn said after the performance and when Mr Schue nodded she took a deep breath "Rachel and I are together. I love her and she loves me. We've been together for a long time now and I've never been happier"

"I love you Quinn" Rachel says as she connects their lips and people start to cheer but then I see Puck in the corner looking miserable and possibly disgusted.

"Ok before we leave anyone else want to say something?" Mr Schue says and Mike pipes up

"Tina and I are getting married!" He yells excitedly and we all smile and cheer and Britt just looks confused. I think she already thought they were related or something. God she's adorable.

"One last thing before we go?" Brittany says with a small smile on her face

"Sure Britt what's up" Artie says

"During junior year Santana and I were dating, we were together just like Tina and Mike. Just like Quinn and Rachel only me and Santana. It hurt when Santana bullied me yes and I couldn't forgive her. But I did, I have and I love her more than I've ever loved anyone else in this world. I am so hers, proudly so" She turns to face me and I take a sharp intake of air "I'm so in love with you Santana" She tells me and then she waits

"I-I love you Brittany. Always and forever" I lean up and kiss her passionately with tears running down our faces! We did it! We actually did it!

"This is ridiculous" I hear a male voice speak and then I pull away from Britt

"Puck? What are you doing?" Quinn asks

"No shut up slut! You're both telling me that man hands and tweedle dumb over here are better than me? No! You're not gay! Neither of you are! It's wrong" He would have kept going but I'm sure he was silenced by my fist hitting his jaw.

"Fuck you Puckerman!" I kept yelling as I punched him harder and harder. Brittany pulled me away and took my cheeks in her hands

"Calm down. Stop this. Stop. You're worth so much more than what you used to be now. You don't need to go backwards. Please don't go backwards Santana, I can't lose you again, that'd hurt way too much." She cries

"I won't B. I won't I'm sorry. I love you and I won't do it again. I swear. Britt. Look at me please?" I put my hand on her chin and lift it so she's looking at me "You're my girlfriend B. Maybe not officially but you always have been and always will be. Well not always because one day you're going to become my wife. You're my best friend. My lover. My girlfriend and my soul mate. Just say yes Britt. Together forever remember?" I kiss her gently and she smiles

"Together forever. And yes Santana I'm your girlfriend. I love you babe" She smiles widely making me smile and everyone comes to congratulate us.

I guess Lima isn't so bad after all.
