Title: When the Stars Go BluePairing: Naya/ Heather - RPF Rating: TSummary: What happens after Heather's now infamous tweet

Chapter 5

They spent the next little while dancing under the stars neither saying a word. Neither wanting to break free from the bubble they were in. Without meaning to Naya let out a soft yawn causing Heather to look down at her. Smiling at how adorable she thought her best friend was and also how tired she was.

"Sure you don't want to head home?" This caused the brunette to step back and sit down. Instantly making Heather regret asking the question, her arms now cold with the loss of heat.

"I'm fine here but you really don't have to stay Heather. Promise Ill call when I get home."

Heather shook her head, no way was she leaving her best friend out here all alone. "Nope, I'm perfectly good right here," she said sitting back down next to the girl.

Looking next to her she couldn't ignore how beautiful the Latina looked in the moonlight, tear stained cheeks and all. "Tell me something."

"Like what?" Naya continued to look out at the water.

"Why is this your go to place?" The blonde wrapped the blanket around them again, causing Naya to bring Heather back with her when she laid down.

"I find the ocean calming and when I look up at the stars I remember how small our world is. It helps when I'm upset reminds me that there are bigger things in life.

Heather rolled onto her side and looked at Naya. Reaching across the girls body she took her hand in her own and rested them n Naya's stomach.

"What?" Why are you looking at me like that?" Naya brushed her thumb over Heathers hand.

The blonde shrugged, she really wasn't sure why she was so she said the first thing that came to mind. "You captivate me." She said it softly, honestly.

They laid like that for awhile, Naya looking up at the stars, Heather looking at Naya. Sometime before dawn Heather found herself laying with her head on Naya's chest listening to her heartbeat. Naya's arms around her, blanket wrapped around them both. It wasn't until the sun started to rise that Naya untangled them and got up, tears brimming in her eyes.

Cold at the loss of contact Heather sat up and wrapped the blanket around herself. Wanting to jump and move towards the other girl, it took everything in her to remain where she was.

"It's your opinion and I respect that." It was a whisper, almost inaudible but to Heather it was as though Naya had screamed it at the top of her lungs. Still she remained in her place. "I knew you felt that way I did and I'm not mad, we all have our opinions. It just gave me this feeling in the put of my stomach and I couldn't shake it. I couldn't shake everyone asking me why you said it."

It was in that moment that Heather realised the only person who had to deal with the aftermath of what she said was Naya. She was about to get up when the girl began to speak once again. "I'd really prefer to not talk anymore about it because I feel stupid as it is. That's why I came out here, hoping that the feelings would drift away." The blonde remained silent as she stood up and walked towards the Latina. Once she was close enough she wrapped her arms and blanket around the small girls waist.

She wasn't the best with words so she said nothing she just held her close as they watch the sun rise. "Reading it just made it hit me, made me realise what I already knew. I don't want you to feel guilty or sorry, like I said its your opinion and I do really do respect that. I respect it so much," Still she stayed silence, unsure of what to say.

Another few moments passed. "It was just a stupid tweet Nay, please let it go so I can take you home, it didn't mean anything. They're just characters." Almost as soon as the words left her mouth she regretted it. That was all it took for the other girl to pull away, she turned around to walk away and in the new light Heather saw finally saw everything she'd been missing. There her best friend had stood, being so understanding and loving even though she was hurting. That's when it made sense, as she watching the girls fleeting form. It was her that wasn't understanding even though it was her that set this in motion.

Santana only had Brittany, she wasn't that close to anyone else and Naya had Heather the same way. They were as inseparable as their characters. Naya had other friends sure, but they weren't Heather, they weren't about to follow the girl when she was lonely. Just as Heather didn't have anyone else that would let her wake them up at 3 am to cry over breaking up with her boyfriend only to find that same person at her front door ten minutes later.

It wasn't about the tweet, it was about Heather and Naya. The two shot. Finally Heather got it, she got what Dianna and Lea had been saying. What Naya had been saying. Snapping out of her thoughts she realised Naya was no where to be seen. She took off running towards the parking lot, half expecting the girl to already be gone. But there she was hand on the door handle, frozen in place.

"I'll follow you, I'll follow you when the stars go blue and you're feeling lonely." She stopped a few feet away and waited. No response. "Tell me why, why you think you got that feeling in your stomach." She moved closer putting her hand over the brunettes on the door. The girl shook her head.

"I just want to go home Heather, I told you I didn't want to talk about it anymore." Her tone wasn't angry or cruel but exhausted and hurt. "Where's your car?"

Heather moved her hand away from Naya's slumping her shoulders in defeat. "I had Lea and Dianna come get it, I was sort of hoping I'd go home with you."

Naya turned around, arms crossed in front of her chest. "Why Heather? Why come out here? Why say that without even giving me a head's up?"

"You're my best friend Naya, and I didn't think I had too. I didn't think it would matter what I thought. Can we just go home please? You're freezing." Naya nodded and got into the car, waiting for Heather to do the same.

The drive back to Naya's was silent. Heather knew that she had messed up, she just wasn't sure why she couldn't get her words together in the right way. She was positive Naya wasn't going to let her inside the house once they got there but of course she did. At the end of the all they were still best friends.

Without saying a word Naya headed upstairs. Heather headed into the living room and spotted the girls phone on the table. Picking it up she lit it up to see the long list of texts from people and the dozen or so missed calls. She had to fix this she had to stop being selfish because people did care, Naya cared.
