*Santana's POV*
It was weird how everyone seemed to be ok with me being in love with someone. They may not have known who it was, but they were all good about it. I was actually happy. The whole Glee Club got up to hug me and honestly, for the first time, I felt accepted into the club once we all pulled away Mr Schue broke through the group and told Sam to leave. It took some convincing before he walked out the room he stopped and said "I don't think it's that easy to apologise to a dyke." And I swear my heart dropped. Brittany started to get angry and she began to storm across to Sam, but she was pulled back by Finn.
"Get out Sam!" Puck said through gritted teeth Sam smirked and walked out the choir room. The Glee club turned to me and they all had this worried look on their face and then there was Brittany. She was so full of hope. And I wish I could make her proud of me, but I can't. At least not now. I didn't know what to say neither did Brittany everyone was silent but then Artie piped up. Still not his biggest fan but whatever.
"This is mental! There's no way Santana is a lesbian!" He laughs out and they all join in. Britt and I look at each other and don't know what to do, so I go along with them and laugh, but Britt just sighs and giggles lightly.
"Well, jokes over. I'm leaving. Bye" I say and then I walk out the room I just kept walking down the hallway until I heard my name being yelled I turned around and saw Mr Schue stood there. I think it suddenly hit me what had just happened and I went running toward him crying, he opened his arms and pulled me into a hug. Luckily school had finished so no one was around, I don't know what happened, but I was being pulled away from Mr Schue and into someone's lap.
"Shhh Santana, you're gonna be ok. We can deal with this together ok? Me and you. I promise" the person whispered quietly and only one person has a voice so sweet. Brittany
"How do you know?" I whimpered
"Because if you love me and I love you then nothing can stop us" She told me with a smile. Then she told me that sour patch kids are just gummy bears that turn to drugs which made me laugh. She stood up and held her hands out towards me, I instantly held onto her as she tugged on my arm pulling me to my feet.
"Ok San! I'm gonna have to go um Mercedes and Tina are coming round to be my first guests on Fondue for Two?" Brittany said, she leaned in and kissed my cheek making me blush instantly she then ran off out of school. I soon followed and headed to my car.
The next day when I got to school and as soon as I walked in I heard Becky Jackson yelling about the new school paper, she walked past me and handed me one. I opened it as I began to walk towards my locker to put my book away before Glee Club. I stopped suddenly and my eyes widened. I quickly opened the YouTube app on my phone and found Brittany's first episode of Fondue for Two! I cannot believe she did that! I stormed down the hallway and into the choir room, Britt was sat on one of the chairs at the back. Finn had just started yelling about how some big lipped blondie is having a secret hotel rendezvous with former blonde head cheerleader or something when I walked in
"This is your fault! You told everyone that I played for another team on your ridiculous melted cheese show." I yelled pointing at Britt.
"Wait? Are you mad? You do play for another team. You were on the Cheerio's! And now you're only in the New Directions." Britt said innocently, usually I'd be ok about it but not this time.
"And you couldn't have thought of any other way to say that?" I raised my voice and then Finn yelled something at Sam, but I couldn't take my eyes off Brittany, she looked so worried and upset like she'd done something really wrong but had no idea. You know when a puppy bites some of your favourite shoes? It was like that. Finn stormed out the room and I followed.
*Brittany's POV*
I was stood outside my locker worrying about Santana and how she is with me when Artie came up to me
"What's going on with you and Santana?" He asked, I looked down and smiled at him
"Nothing" I say. It's obvious that he knows, but what we're doing isn't wrong!
"It doesn't sound like nothing. It sounds like something, which is almost always more than nothing." He said with this weirdly annoyed voice
"Calm down Artie" I chuckled
"Are you cheating on me with her?" He asks
"No, of course not. I mean I can't. She's a girl. Fooling around with her isn't cheating. It's just friends talking with their tongues super close." I tell him.
"No, who told you that?" Artie questioned
"Santana" I tell him honestly
"Don't you see she's manipulating you? She's taking advantage of you to try and break up us" He huffs. That's so not true. Santana actually loves me
"That's not cheating either, she told me that" I hushed out
"Do you see what's going on here? You're the hottest girl in this school, and I wear saddle shoes on legs that don't work. This shouldn't be happening. Not because I'm in a wheelchair but because I'm obsessed with Angry Birds and my mom cuts my hair." Artie said
"I like your haircut" I tell him. So maybe it was a lie because he looks like a bad Justin Bieber but
"It's hard enough for me to believe that this is real. If I know that you spend even a little time sharing yourself with someone else that there's one other person in your life that can provide for you the things that I'm supposed to provide, it's just too much for me to take. And Santana knows that. She's taking advantage of it to break us up." He says with an annoyed tone of voice.
"No, everybody thinks she's a bad person but she's not!" I tell him getting slightly angry
"God Brittany why are you so stupid?" Artie yells. My face drops, I can't believe he just said that everybody knows that that is the worst thing to say to me
"You were the only person in the school that never called me that!" I tell him, my voice broke slightly as tears fell down my face. I turned to walk away as the tears began to fall faster. I need her.
I need Santana.
*Santana's POV*
I was just outside the cafeteria checking through my twitter feed when I saw Britt walking around the corner heading towards me. She looked really upset and then she looked away from her feet and I saw the tears falling down her face. She looked at me and ran towards me, I opened my arms waiting for her to fall into them and she clung to me like her life depended on it. "Brittany? What's happened? Why are you crying?" I was so worried
"Artie called me stupid" She chokes out
"He did what?" I yell, Brittany jumped slightly at the sound of my voice and then she put her hand on my arm and I instantly calmed "I'm sorry Britt" I say "I know you're really upset right now, but if he doesn't see what a genius you are then he doesn't deserve you. You're a genius Brittany. You are the only person I know who can tell me either I need to know about Cats. You're the only person I know who can pick up choreography after seeing it twice. That's even better than Mike! You're the only person I know who isn't afraid to be themselves. You're not only a genius, but you're brave, trusting, honest, loyal and loving. Honestly Brittany you are so much better than him. He doesn't deserve you B" I tell her as I boop her nose. I put my arm around her shoulders and she leans into my arms and we walk towards our lockers. We walked past Artie who was in the choir room singing Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac, but Brittany just kept her head up and at me with a smile.
By the end of the day Brittany felt much better. I dropped her off at home and she kissed me on the cheek just before I left, that one kiss meant more to me than anything because this was the first kiss she'd given me where we could be together. She was single, so was I and she said that if Artie and her ever broke up she'd be mine! I have to do something to make her see how much I love her.
I sped home and parked my car in the driveway. Mami and Papi were still away so I had the house to myself. I parked myself on the piano stool and listened to that rumours album to try and find the perfect song. And then Songbird began to play and that was it! Purfect!
I spent the night learning how to sing Songbird. At about 1 in the morning I fell asleep at the piano and was awoken by my phone buzzing on the piano top I reached out for it lazily and answered the phone
"Hello?" I whispered
"Santana?" The voice said and I immediately woke up
"Britt? Why are you awake at this time?" I said
"I couldn't sleep. I need to talk to you" She whispered
"Ok. What's up?" I said whilst I walked over to the couch
"Um, I actually meant face to face. I'm outside" Brittany told me. She's outside! I ran to the door and pulled it open and there she stood wearing a pair of jog pants, a baggy Snoopy t-shirt and her blue leather jacket. I looked over her shoulder and saw her motor cross bike parked on the road. She waved the helmet in her hand which made me smile, she knew what I was going to ask. I let her in and we took a seat on the sofa. "Brittany? Why are you here at 1 in the morning?!" I say and she looks into my eyes, my heart begins to beat faster as she starts to lean forward, she's millimetres away from my lips when she whispers "To do this" and then her lips latch onto mine.
It short and sweet, but so meaningful. "What was that for?" I mumble and Brittany looks at me and just smiles
"It was because I love you. Santana, I wanna be with you. But I'm scared that if something bad happens once we're out as a couple I'm worried you'll resent me for it. You might not do it on purpose, but San, if you don't accept yourself before we're a couple how can you accept us being a couple? Does that make sense?" Brittany says and I begin to tear up "Oh no, Santana! I didn't mean to make you cry. Please don't' cry!" She starts to panic
"No Britt, I'm not crying because of that. It's fine. I completely understand" I tell her "I wanna sing you something" I say and I walk over to the piano and begin to play Songbird. I look over to her whilst I'm singing and notice the tears falling from her eyes. I play the last few notes and she walks over to me
"Beautiful" She whispers
"I meant every word Britt, but I don't know if I'm ready" I tell her
"Well how about you come on Fondue for Two? I'll ask you out to Prom and I'll tell you how I feel and all you have to do is say yes" She says whilst holding my hands. This might not be a bad idea so I nod.
"I'm so tired Britt it's nearly 2am and we have Glee tomorrow, so come on, I needs to get my cuddle on" I wink at her when she giggles. We walk up to my room and fall asleep in each other's arms.
It was the day I was going on Fondue for Two, but I'm so scared, I don't want to let Brittany down, but I can't do this. I'm supposed to be there in an hour, I grab my phone with tears in my eyes and I text Brittany these words "I can't" I took everything I had not to type those words. I guess I'm not as strong as I look. Two hours later I was still crying on my bed, my plaster cast was so itchy and uncomfortable but I couldn't care less about it, Britt kept calling me but I didn't answer, I couldn't answer. It was about 8pm when I heard a knock at the door, I dried my eyes and made myself look more presentable. When I got downstairs I flung the door open ready to go all Lima Heights on their asses, but when I looked at those perfect blue eyes I immediately calmed down "Brittany? What're you doing here?" I asked her
"I came to see if you were ok. You didn't come to do Fondue for two and I got worried that you'd punched something, or fainted, or died. I was scared" She tells me, I smile softly at her and grab her hand pulling her inside the house,
"I'm sorry Brittany, you know I never meant to scare you, I just can't do it yet, I can't admit my feelings for you. I love you Britt, but I'm still scared of the talks and the looks, I don't know what I'd do if you started hating me because people didn't accept us, what if the Glee Club kick us out? What if my parents don't want us to be together? Or yours? I can't deal with it Brittany." I tell her with tears falling, she lets go of my hand and uses the pad of her thumb to brush my tears away
"You know I love you too. But Santana you have to let go of this worry that you have because if you don't you are always going to be living thinking what if" Brittany said "I have to go, it's late and we both need to think" She told me before leaning in and hugging me tightly she walked away and climbed onto her motor cross bike and drove off.
The next day when I got to school I saw the Glee Club standing against their lockers, but I didn't see Brittany. Suddenly the doors burst open and this little freshman was running through the halls yelling about a gorgeous blonde on a motorbike. The rest of the Glee club ran outside with the rest of the school. I was left alone in the hallway so decided to join the rest of the school outside. I was stood at the top of the stairs when the blonde came through the school gates riding her bike. I only knew of one person who rode that type of bike. Britt. She parked her bike in front of the crowd and pulled her helmet off, I swear at that moment everything went in slow motion, she undid her leather jacket to reveal a tight white top that hugged her figure perfectly. She walked, no she strutted up the stairs past the glee club and Artie then she reached me, she looked directly at me and winked and I swear if I could've I would have died and gone to heaven. I followed her inside the building "Britt?" I said and she turned to me with a smirk on her face
"Hey" She said
"What's this? You never ride your bike to school" I whisper
"I decided to change it up a bit, plus I look really hot and you can't deny that" She hushed as she took a step closer to me, I gulped
"Well, yeah. Glee Club? I mean, let's go to Glee Club" I blushed at my stuttering
"You're so cute San, let's go" She said before looking around, I did the same and realised that the whole school was still outside and next thing I knew Britt kissed me. Just for a second. When we pulled away we linked pinkies like normal and walked to Glee Club. We were the first two there other than Mr Schue who smiled at us when we walked in. He looked down and saw our pinkies linked and he smiled wider and winked at me. The rest of the club came in separately and took their seats, Finn was sat on the drum stool while Puck stood holding his guitar. Rachel was going to sing Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac. As she was singing I listened to the words and it made me think of Brittany, throughout the song we kept sharing knowing looks. It's like she could see exactly what I was thinking. Once the song was finished Quinn said somethings to Rachel that seemed pretty harsh they both started getting mad at each other about the Sam thing with Quinn and Finn as well as Rachel singing to Finn. They are so complicated. I stood up "STOP IT!" I yelled, everyone turned to me "You're all fighting about who should be with who, but honestly does it really matter that much? Everyone has a soulmate right? Well it might take years for you to find them but you will, I've found mine. I'm sure of it! They're the only person I've ever loved and ever want to be with. I can honestly say that I'm one of the lucky ones because I found my soulmate so early. But everyone will find them whether its at age 5, 25 or 50 you'll find them" I tell them and they all looked shocked, I looked over to Brittany who had tears in her eyes
"Well said Santana" Mr Schue piped up "I'm sick of all the drama in this club. Over the weekend I want you to think about all of these problems you have with each other and get over them because we're never as strong as we are when we're together." everybody was silent as they left the room. I stayed back and packed up my stuff when I felt a soft tapping on my shoulder I turned around and saw the beautiful blonde I love so much.
"Did you really mean it? Everything you said?" She asked whilst looking at her feet
"Of course I did, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't" I giggled until I noticed the tears falling from her eyes "Why are you crying?" I asked
"Because you already found your soulmate and I've been pushing you to accept yourself and wanting you to be with me and you're in love with someone else" She sobbed and I gasped, I held my hand up to her chin and moved her head up to look at mine
"Brittany. I'm not in love with anyone else, I just want you. The person I was talking about was you! You are my soulmate! I love you so much Brittany S. Pierce!" I tell her and she smiles widely. Suddenly her hands are on my hips and she's twisting us around and setting me down to sit on the piano.
"I love you Santana Diabla Lopez" She whispers and then crashes her lips against mine. Right now I couldn't care less about whether anyone will walk in on us or not because the girl I love is kissing me. I've got Britt and nothing else matters.
