Brittany's POV

A couple weeks passed and Mike and I were finally ready for our competition. It was exciting. I loved the feeling of competing. I was getting ready that morning when Quinn came in and sat on my bed and started talking to me.

"Are you nervous?" She played with her hair and looked at me.

"Of course not, I live for competition. Don't you remember how I used to get before competitions during Glee?" She smiled.

"Of course I do. It was cute." I looked back at her.

"Cute?" She blushed.

"Sorry, Britt. But it was." I laughed.

"It's alright Q. Are we riding in the same car to the competition or did you want to take separate cars?"
"The same car is fine. Let's take a picture since you're finished getting ready." Quinn pulled her phone out of her purse and we snapped a mirror picture. "I like it."

"Make sure you send that to me. Let's go. I don't want to be late." We went to the car and headed to the competition. Mike was already there, and he was super nervous. It was going to be his first time performing in over a year, and it was the first time that Tina wasn't there for him. Quinn sat next to Sam and Mercedes in the audience and I walked back stage to find Mike. He was sitting on a chair looking at his phone.

"Hey Mike. You ready? We're about to go on." He shook his head.

"I can't do it."
"Yes you can, Mike. You can do this. Tina is watching you. Even if you can't see her? She can see you." He looked at me.

"Do you really believe that?" I nodded.

"Yes. I'm a firm believer. Now trust me. Let's do this. We're going to kill the competition." He got up from his seat and grabbed me by the arm.

And now, give a round of applause for the last two competitors. Performing to Beyoncé's 'Love On Top' here is Mike Chang and Brittany S. Pierce!

The music started playing and we went onstage. It was perfect. I felt that I had given my best performance of my life. When the song finished, I smiled at Mike and we simultaneously hugged each other. The crowd burst into applause and gave us a standing ovation. We bowed and walked off stage.

"We got this in the bag!" Mike smiled. I had not seen him this happy in a long time. He ran up to his mom, who was crying with happiness. My parents couldn't make it to the competition because they were in Minnesota for my dad's company party. Mike came running back over to me.

"C'mon Britt they're going to announce the winners." We stood by the curtain as the announcer grabbed the microphone.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to announce the winners of the 5th Annual Dance Till You Drop Competition. In third place, Tony and Francelina!" The audience roared with applause. They were the couple that everyone thought was going to win. It gave me hope. "And in first place, by unanimous decision. Mike and Brittany!" The crowd went wild. We ran on stage to get our award. A check worth 10,000 dollars. Confetti fell down all around us. I could see Quinn, Sam and Mercedes running down from their seats. We all hugged onstage. It was definitely one of the greatest moments I've had in a while.

"I'm so proud of you, Britt." Quinn said in my ear as she hugged me. I looked at her.

"Thanks Q" I hugged her again. Tears of happiness fell from my eyes and she wiped them away. I looked up at the ceiling. I wished Santana were here to see this, it would've made her proud. I pointed up to the ceiling.

"This one was for you baby. I love you Santana."

Quinn's POV

It was the day of Britt's dance competition. I was anxious to see it; she refused to tell me anything about it. I want it to be a surprise is what she would tell me whenever I asked about the routine. When we got there, I met up with Sam and Mercedes. Britt walked down towards the stage to find Mike. I watched her as she walked away. Sam nudged my arm.

"You're so in love with her." I blushed.

"Can you please not say that so loud, Sam." He looked at me in shock.

"No denying it? You really are." I looked down. "You haven't talked to her about it yet, have you."

"No I haven't. I always build up the courage to but right when I'm about to say something I get too scared."

"You're going to have to tell her sometime, Quinn. Keeping these feelings hidden for so long isn't going to do you any good." He put his arm around his shoulder. "You just do it when you feel you're ready. There's no rush." I smiled.

"Thanks Sam." We sat down in our seats and Mercedes came back with a bunch of snacks and drinks for us. As the performances went on, all I could think about was what Britt looked like when we left the house this morning. She was so confident and enthusiastic. I unlocked my phone and looked at the picture we took before we left. I set it as my wallpaper and stared at it for a while. Sam nudged me again, this time it was because Mike and Britt were about to perform. I sat up in my seat as the lights went dimmer. The music started playing.

Honey, honey
I can see the stars all the way from here
Can't you see the glow on the window pane?
I can feel the sun whenever you're near

It was my favorite song. Everytime I heard it, I thought of Britt. And seeing her dance to it was just icing on the cake. I pulled out my phone again and hit record.

Every time you touch me I just melt away
Now everybody asks me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear
But I know
Nothings perfect, but it's worth it after fighting through my fears
And finally you put me first

I flashbacked to when Britt first started cuddling with me. The way she smelled. The way that I fit when I would lay on her chest. It made me so happy; it was like I was on a high. Cloud nine, if you will. I had all these feelings inside of me. And they were all for her.

Baby it's you.
You're the one I love.
You're the one I need.
You're the only one I see.

I started to cry. I knew I had to tell her, and I had to tell her soon. Keeping it bottled up was taking a toll on me. Sam put his arm over my shoulder and whispered that it would be okay. She looked so beautiful up on stage. So confident. It showed in her moves. Her gracefulness was amazing. She took my breath away without even knowing it.

Come on baby it's you.
You're the one that gives your all.
You're the one I can always call.
When I need you make everything stop.
Finally you put my love on top.

Their routine came to an end and the entire audience went crazy. People were screaming and clapping. I stood up and wiped my face and started clapping. I was so proud of her. The crowd calmed down and the MC came onto the stage. My heart felt like it stopped. I held my breath. And the winners are, Mike and Brittany! I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest. I was so excited for them. Conffetti was everywhere and everyone was screaming. Sam, Mercedes and I ran onto the stage to congradulate them. I ran up to Britt and hugged her.

"I'm so proud of you!" I told her. I meant it. Seeing her win made my heart happy.

"Thanks Quinn." She pointed up to the ceiling and said that the dance was for Santana. I turned around and walked away. I wanted it to be for me. I wanted her to be mine. After all the celebration and congratulating from random people, we were ready to leave. I was already sitting in the car when she came outside. I saw her talking to Mike near the doors of the building. I saw Sam walking towards me in the mirror.

"You okay Quinn?" I could tell he was concerned.

"Yes, I'll be fine. Thanks Sam."

"I'm here if you need anyone to talk to." He kissed me on the cheek and walked over to his car. The drivers door opened.

"I hope you weren't waiting too long, Quinn." She pulled the hair tie out and let her hair down. She ran her hands on her scalp, through her hair. I couldn't help but watch. Everything she did was breathtaking to me. I looked away before she could figure out that I was watching. I turned my head to face out of the window. The car started and we drove out of the parking lot. I felt her hand on my thigh.

"Quinn, what's wrong? You've been acting weird lately. Is something bothering you?" I looked at her.

"It's nothing, Britt. Don't worry about it okay?"
"Don't tell me that it's nothing okay? I know when something is bothering you. You can't lie to me." She had a serious look on her face.

"I can't tell you."
"Why is that? You know that you can tell me anything, Q. I thought that we were close enough to where we didn't have to hide anything from each other." Tears started falling from my eyes again.

"I'm scared." She gave my thigh a little squeeze.

"Of what?"

"This is just silly. I'm not telling you." I crossed my arms.

"Tell me, Quinn Fabray."

"No."

"You better tell me."

"I'm not telling you."

"Tell me!" She was almost yelling now. I could feel it being pulled out of me. I couldn't take it anymore. In my head, I had nothing to lose. We were home now; I got out of the car and walked into the house. She followed right behind me.

"I don't know what your problem is, Quinn. I don't understand why you can't just tell me." This was it. There was no turning back. I stopped walking, and turned around to face her.

"I'm falling in love with you."
