A/N- Hey everybody! I hope you haven't abandoned this! All though it is kinda my fault since I neglected it and didn't update! Well, we left off chapter 12 with Brittana breaking up and both claimed that they would 'forget' about each other. Now remember, it's a teacher/student thing. So don't expect them to get back together straight away... Also I will try to get chapter 14 by FRIDAY! :D If you want it, leave a review at the end! Xx

Chapter 13

Brittany spent majority of the weekend shacked up in her room. Not one word had been spoken between Mrs Pierce and her daughter. It was now Monday morning and the older woman was hoping that somehow, Brittany would have it in her heart to understand her actions regarding the relationship with Miss Lopez.

She was sat in the kitchen making pancakes when Brittany finally decided to show up. "Hey sweetie, I made your favourite." Brittany mumbled something about not being hungry and helped herself to a bottle of water from the fridge.

She was about to exit the kitchen when she felt a strong grip on her wrist. "Darling, you need to eat something, acting like this isn't going to make things any better."

Brittany turned around and shot her mother a cold glare. "How did you expect me to act mum?" She hissed in frustration. "You removed me from the college, separated me and Santana and..." Brittany paused for a second and then added. "You lied mum; you told me you'd be happy regardless of whom I fell in love with."

Mrs Pierce sighed heavily and took a seat on one of the chairs. "This isn't love honey; love should be with someone of your own age...not someone who's your teacher."

"I...Love...Her mum." Brittany drawled through gritted teeth. "She makes me happy, why can't you just accept that?"

"Because it's WRONG and disgusting." Mrs Pierce ranted. "You might not see it now, but five years down the line, you'll thank me for this." Brittany clenched her fist and slammed it hard against the door.

"I will never thank the woman who stopped me from being happy...never" Brittany eyed her and breathed heavily due to the excruciating pain that radiated from her hand. She rubbed her knuckles softly and stormed out, she had heard more than enough from her mum.

...X...

Monday morning was just as difficult for Santana. Everything just reminded her about Brittany. So much for forgetting about her, she thought as she walked into her classroom. Her line of sight fell straight on Quinn and Rachel, who in turn gave her a disgusted look. "This is going to be so hard." Santana mumbled to herself.

"Good morning girls, hope you all had a nice weekend." She forced a smile and glanced at all her students. She was thankful when no one had mentioned Brittany, but unfortunately that was short-lived.

"Where's Brittany, Miss Lopez?" Lucy asked.

"I heard that she won't be coming back." Another student replied.

"No way, where'd you hear that...? I'm happy though, that bitch thought she was better than everyone else." Beverly spoke as she took a bite of her chocolate bar.

Santana just stood there as her students all took it amongst themselves to voice their opinions on Brittany's predicament. Her heart was all over the place right now and the situation took a turn for the worse when she heard Quinn's verbal attack. "You fat bitch, why don't you shut that ugly mouth of yours instead of mouthing off about someone you barely know?"

Mercedes nodded and turned her head to look at Beverly directly. "Our friend is going through a tough time right now so if I were you; hush your gums and mind your damn business."

Sue had walked in about two minutes ago and watched the scene unfold in front of her. The class were now in acknowledgment of her presence and quickly put their heads down. Surprisingly the principal said nothing and positioned herself in front of Santana. "A quiet word, outside."

Santana reluctantly followed her and could already feel that something was wrong. "What is it?" She asked when the two were outside the room.

"Just had an interesting phone call from one Mrs Pierce." Sue said, looking at the brunette with a smirk.

"Right...what did she want then?" Santana responded, desperately trying to casual. Anything Brittany related only deepened the wound that lingered in the middle of her broken heart.

"Not much..." Sue spoke with her hands behind her back. "Just that I make sure to transfer some of Brittany's classes to another teacher..."

Santana scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. "I don't understand...what exactly-"

"She's allowing her daughter to return on the basis that I make sure she's away from you at all times. You see, Mrs Pierce will be bringing Brittany to college everyday and then collecting her at the end of the day. I was also told that any interaction between the both of you and I'd have inform her as soon as possible." Sue interrupted.

Santana waited for a student to walk by before speaking. "That's crazy, isn't that a bit extreme?" Sue shrugged. "Maybe...but Brittany's not my daughter and so I'm not in any position to say what's right and what's wrong."

"We can't exactly stay away from each other, we're in love." The brunette exasperated. She rolled up her sleeve and pointed to the piece of jewellery on her wrist. "If she was just a silly student with a crush on her teacher, then why would she even bother giving this bracelet to me?"

Sue barfed at the sight. "Okay I don't need your little love stories, just know that I'll be keeping an eye on you and I'm also going to assign a few others to do so."

"You should be siding with me Sue...I know this isn't exactly ideal but I just couldn't stop myself from falling for her." Santana confessed, staring hard onto the ground.

Sue almost felt a little bit sorry for her. But she had to maintain her professionalism and deep down, even though she knew that this whole teacher-student thing was wrong, she couldn't deny the strong love both women had for each other. "She's back tomorrow, just stay away okay." The principal spoke with a resigned tone and walked away.

Santana held back the tears that were threatening to come out and turned around to head back into the classroom.

...X...

"It doesn't feel right without Brittany, does it?" Quinn muttered to Rachel at the lunch hall. The brunette stopped eating her food and sighed. "Come on Q, you know this won't last forever, she'll be back, trust me."

Quinn pushed her plate away. "Yeah, possibly. But what about her whole situation with Miss Lopez? They're in love Rachel." She emphasized.

"We'll just have to find a way of helping her to get over Miss Lopez, simple." Rachel answered, like it really was that simple.

"No, we can't do that. She deserves to be happy. She helped me to understand my attraction to girls; it is only fair that I return the favour." Quinn stared at Rachel and suddenly realized that she may have said a little bit too much.

"How did Britt help you to understand, I don't g-get it." Rachel asked in confusion. Quinn glanced around; students were all departing the cafeteria now. "Something kept telling me that I liked you, that I was attracted to you." The blonde started in hesitation. Rachel took her hand to show she was listening.

"I didn't know how to figure it out, and so I asked Britt if she could kiss me..." Rachel gasped and quickly snatched her hand away. "But it only lasted a second, that's all." Quinn tried to reason.

Rachel abruptly stood up from her chair. "You should've told me, now I feel as if though our whole relationship was just been one big lie." She nodded her head in disgust and quickly moved away when Quinn tried to touch her. "Don't...I need time to think." She spoke through her tears and departed the area. Quinn kicked the table in frustration and sat back down on the chair. Absolutely nothing seemed to be going right now, not for Quinn...not for Rachel...not for Brittany...not for Santana.

It was a bad Monday morning for nearly everyone.

...X...

Brittany was about to get into bed when she heard a knock on the door. She knew exactly who was stood behind it so didn't bother to reply. Only when the knocks had become persistent that she finally gave in. "What do you want mum?"

Mrs Pierce walked further into the room and sat on the edge of her daughter's bed. "I spoke to your principal today..." She started, looking anywhere but at Brittany. "I'm allowing you to go back to college, under the condition that you stay away from Santana." She brought her head back up, making direct eye contact with Brittany.

Brittany didn't know how to react. Yes she was happy that she'd be back with her friends but to stay away from Santana, the woman she loved with all her heart? Impossible. "I don't know what to say..." The blonde uttered sadly.

"Brittany, I want you to make something of your life, that's why I'm letting you go back. You're my number one priority from now on. I've asked Sue to transfer your Miss Lopez classes to another teacher and I'll be taking you and picking you up every day."

"Why are you doing this mum, I just wanna be happy." Brittany commented with a whisper. Mrs Pierce got up and placed her hand on her shoulders. "You hurt me this morning, all I've ever wanted is for you to be happy...believe me, I'm only thinking of you sweetie."

Brittany sighed and closed her eyes. She looked back at her mum with a small smile and initiated a hug. "I'm sorry mum; I know you want me to be happy..." She pulled away and added, "If that's what you want, then promise to not go anywhere near Santana..."

Mrs Pierce gasped in happiness and crushed her daughter with another hug. "This means so much darling, I'm glad you've finally seen the light." Brittany smiled wearily and held back the tears as she watched her mum leave.

...X...

True to her word, Mrs Pierce drove Brittany to college and even walked with her inside the building. When they got to the principal office, Sue gave Brittany her new timetable and the blonde almost instantly felt her heart break as she took in her new teacher's name. Her promise of not going anywhere Santana to her mum was going to be one humongous challenge.

Brittany lazily entered the classroom and mustered up the best possible smile when her new classmates spoke animatedly with her. The blonde had texted Rachel and co yesterday that she was back and they all agreed on meeting up in the cafeteria. At least seeing them was something to look forward to.

Santana braced herself for the day that was to come. It was almost 99.99999% that she would bump into Brittany and she had no idea what to do if that were to happen. What was even more piss-taking was that Sue mentioned something about a few students keeping an eye on her and she had no fucking idea as to who they were.

"Rach, please talk to me." Quinn pleaded with the brunette. They were sat in the classroom waiting for Miss Lopez. Rachel turned her head away in the opposite direction. She wasn't about to forgive her that quick. "Quinn, today's a big day for Britt, we should be thinking about her."

"How comes you're not angry with her, but at me?" Quinn bellowed. Rachel shifted and now looked directly at her face. "Well isn't it obvious? Brittany must've had a lot on her plate with this whole Miss Lopez debacle. You should've told me the night it happened."

Quinn was about answer back but quickly stopped her mouth from opening when she heard the voice of Santana's. "Right girls, I hope you all studied hard last night, there'll be a small maths test later on."

"Miss, we heard Brittany's back." Lucy spoke. "But I'm sure you knew that already." She added with a smirk.

"If you don't have anything productive to say, please leave my classroom...and that goes for all of you." Santana announced in a stern voice.

Someone in the front row raised their hand. "Yes Rachel?" Santana asked. The smaller brunette cleared her throat, chanced a look at Quinn and then finally spoke. "I don't think you're in any position of telling us what to do, Brittany's back today and so on behalf of the four of us..." She motioned towards Quinn, Tina and Mercedes. "Keep your distance and stay away from her."

Santana swallowed the lump that decided to appear in her throat and stood rooted to the spot, not having a clue as to what would be 'appropriate' to say back. She excused herself, claiming she had to go to the bathroom and promptly hopped out of the classroom. She quickly made a beeline for one of the empty stalls and tried to maintain her steady breathing. Everything was just so damn difficult. Love was difficult.

"Yes mum, my new teacher isn't causing me any trouble."

"Of course I'm behaving myself, I promised you didn't I?" Santana widened her eyes at the voice. Who else but Brittany would somehow appear at the same time in the very same place as her. She contemplated on whether to stay inside the stall until after Brittany left, but instinct, feelings, and her heart told her otherwise. She slowly turned the handle of the door and looking right back at her from the mirror, was Brittany. The blonde quickly said goodbye to her mum and disconnected the line. She was about to leave when she felt a hand, a soft hand on her elbow.

"Brittany..." Santana whispered in the most softest and broken of voices. "Please don't leave." The head told her to leave, the heart told her to turn around and embrace her lover with a hug, a kiss...her everything. Brittany was torn, she didn't know what to listen to. She battled with her conscience, ignoring the sweet touch of Santana's hand on her naked skin.

"We're finished, I don't love you. I lied, it was all a lie." Brittany croaked through her overflowing tears and swiftly broke the physical contact with Santana. She hurried out of the bathroom, and didn't dare to look back.
