Santana loved being with Rachel. More than anything. She never thought going into their relationship that they would have lasted so long, but here they were on their seven month anniversary and they were somehow still together. No one understood how Santana Lopez and Rachel Berry could last so long or even gotten together in the first place. But they were and they had. Sure, it had started as a ploy to make Brittany and Finn jealous, but that quickly dissolved and the relationship became real. Santana wasn't exactly sure she was comfortable with how close they were getting. "Hey San?" Rachel asked, looking up from her Biology book.
"Yes beautiful?" Santana replied.
"I love you." Rachel said. Santana stammered.
"I... I... You... You can't tell me that." Santana said. Rachel's face dropped.
"Why? Oh... I get it... I'm sorry. That was too fast..." Rachel said. Santana was confused. "Rach... No. Wait." Santana said. Rachel ignored her and packed up all her things.
"What are you doing?" Santana asked. Rachel shrugged.
"Look, I totally like you, but Santana Lopez doesn't do the whole love thing." Santana said.
"You loved Brittany." Rachel said.
"And look at how that worked out." Santana replied.
"Yea. You ended up with me. Sorry that ended so badly for you." Rachel said sarcastically.
"Where are you going?" Santana asked.
"I'm just going to go because this is going to be really awkward for a bit. I'll see you around." Rachel said. Santana frowned.
"You'll see me around? That sounds a lot like a break up comment." Santana said. Rachel looked down. "Rachel? Are you breaking up with me?" Santana asked. Rachel closed her eyes.
"I don't really see any other way. You're going to know how I feel and I'm not going to be able to hide the fact that it kills me inside to know that you don't feel the same as I do. I'll see you around, Santana." Rachel said, kissing Santana's cheek before quietly walking out of the room. Santana tried to speak and stop her, but she was unable to form the words. When she heard the front door of her house close, she ran to her window and tried to open it.
"Why the hell did it choose now to get stuck?" Santana yelled. She saw Rachel get in her car and banged on the stuck window. Rachel looked up at the sound and saw the Latina frantically trying to open her bedroom window. Santana motioned for the diva to wait. Finally, she opened her window, though the impact caused her to fall back.
"Oh my god. Are you okay?" Rachel asked. Santana quickly appeared at the window.
"I love you!" Santana yelled. Rachel was clearly surprised.
"I thought Santana Lopez doesn't do love!" Rachel yelled back. Santana smiled.
"You said it first." Santana said.
"That I did." Rachel said with a smile. The two stayed there or a few minutes just smiling.
"Get up here, ya goof." Santana said. Rachel grinned and ran back into the house and upstairs to the awaiting arms of her girlfriend.
"I love you." Santana said as Rachel flung herself into the Latina's arms and they fell onto Santana's bed.
"I love you too." Rachel said.
