Chapter 15

Don't pin this on me / it wasn't my fault / you made me love you

"You took my necklace off?" Brittany asked Santana at her locker, there was sadness in her voice.

"Yeah…" Santana tried to avoid her eye, "I figured it was time for me to take it off."

"But, why?"

"Well, you've moved on so clearly I have to move on too."

"I didn't move anywhere."

Santana sighed and closed her locker, holding Brittany's necklace in her hands. She dropped the necklace into Brittany's hand.

"Who are we kidding, Brittany? You can't let go of Artie and I don't have the patience to wait around for you."

"I never thought I'd see the day Santana would quit."

"I'm not quitting, I just don't have time to watch you with him as my heart breaks."

"I'm breaking your heart?"

"I love you, Brittany. Probably more than I love myself but I can't watch you with Artie, I just can't. So, I'm going to stay with Mandy because she loves me and I…"

"You love her?"

"There are things I love about her…" Santana sighed trying to hold back tears, "I'm sorry, Brittany. I have to go."

Brittany watched as Santana walked away, she couldn't help but let a small tear roll down her face.

At Glee Club…

Brittany bit her bottom lip as she took a seat beside Artie and watched as Mandy and Santana entered giggling with happiness. Brittany looked at them and felt herself starting to cry, she loved Santana. She knew it the moment she told her she couldn't break up with Artie. Brittany had been unhappy with Artie every since she chose him over Santana and she felt that he knew. She wasn't in love with him any more and the idea of watching Santana with Mandy was sickening.

"Mr. Schue, I have a song I'd like to sing…" Brittany said raising her hand.

"Okay, let's hear it."

Brittany turned to face her Glee club members.

"I would like the girls of Glee to help me sing this…Every girl except Santana."

All the girls stood up and got behind Brittany, Santana looked embarrassed yet again and even more nervous as to what Brittany was about to sing.

"Hit it!"

The band began to play their drums and guitars, as Brittany bopped her head to the beat and listened to her back-up singers.

"Beauty queen of only eighteen

She had some trouble with herself

He was always there to help her

She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles

And wound up at your door

I've had you so many times but somehow

I want more…"

Mandy watched as Brittany danced towards Santana.

"…I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

She will be loved…"

Santana smiled as Brittany grabbed her hand and led her onto the center of the room and began to dance with her.

"…Tap on my window knock on my door

I want to make you feel beautiful

I know I tend to get so insecure

It doesn't matter anymore…"

Brittany spun Santana around and let her flop down into a seat Tina managed to slide underneath Santana just in time.

"…It's not always rainbows and butterflies

It's compromise that moves us along, yeah

My heart is full and my door's always open

You can come anytime you want…"

Santana giggled as Brittany did her best hairography.

"…I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Look for the girl with the broken smile

Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved

And she will be loved…"

Brittany spun the chair around and around, then stopped it with her foot and looked deep into Santana's eyes who stopped giggling and eyed her seductively.

The music softly began to play now.

"…I don't mind spending everyday

Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye…"

The music stopped and applause broke out around them, but Brittany and Santana were transfixed into each other's eyes. They didn't notice Mandy's standing tapping her foot frustrated, nor did they notice Artie eyeing them both shocked yet intrigued. No, they noticed nothing but each other. Brittany let out her pinky which Santana took, their eyes still glued on each other's.
