Anyways here it is!

"I'm sorry I keep messing up."
She looks so sad when she tells me this. Her brown eyes are like big puppy eyes as they stare at me so innocently.
"I'm sorry I'm a mess up, but what we did last night was perfect for me Brittany. You might be questioning my feelings, but I do remember all the times we had ran into each other when we were younger. You caught my attention right away." She looks down at her hands then peeks back up at me. "Ever since you laid those bright blue eyes on me I couldn't stop thinking about you. One time you told me that I didn't notice you. There has not been a time where I haven't noticed you. I have been excited all summer because I knew this year you would be coming to High school. It is like I can feel when you are around. In middle school I would catch you looking at me and it made my day. Just that one little glance would make my day."
I cut in before she can continue because I thought I was crazy that Santana Lopez would ever like me because she never showed it. "In middle school after we kissed you like disappeared."
She shakes her head. "I saw you quite often actually. I went to the library so much Quinn thought I was joining a book club, but I went because you were always there and laughing with your guy friend. You always had a comic book in front of you."
"But.. But… No you wouldn't talk to me or anything. You didn't like me Santana you were just nice to me at times when I needed you."
She reached up to touch my cheek. "I couldn't be around you Brittany that didn't mean I didn't like you. I had other priorities when I was younger. I was also going through some things." She shrugs.
I put my hands up to my head. I feel like it is going to explode. How can this even happen this is fucking Santana Lopez. I look up once more to catch her face making sure that it is really Santana. Yep it is still her. So this whole time when I thought I had this silly crush, she was feeling the same thing? What?
Then the next question comes to my mind. "What does this mean about Puck?"
She raises an eyebrow confused. "What do you mean?"
"Well you know I like you and you say you like me."
She gives me a sad smile and reaches out for my hand. "I do like you so much, but I'm not going to break up with Puck. It is more complicated than it looks Brittany."
I pull my hand away from Santana's warm one. "That doesn't make scenes. How can you like that asshole. He hits on anyone that walks by him. You are too good for him."
"I'm really not Brittany." She rubs her hands nervously. "I was thinking this morning. I know I'm with Puck but um would you like want to." She shrugs and rubs the back of her neck nervously. "I don't know. This is going to sound crazy and very selfish but maybe just think about it. I don't want to let you go so maybe we could do the same thing as last night more often."
"Get drunk and me pass out on your bed?"
"No like the making out and stuff."
My mouth drops open. "That is crazy and very selfish."
"Hear me out. I have strong feelings for you and you like me too. We could cuddle and watch movies here, talk and gossip, I'd cook for us. It wouldn't be us just making out and stuff. We could hang out and get to know each other while also making out a lot because your lips are addicting."
She was giving me everything I wanted on a silver platter, but there was still that one thing wrong.
"I can't mess with my emotions like that Santana, so I am going to have to say no. We can still be friends though."
And just like that her face drops in devastation. I quickly pack my things and leave with a clenched heart and the image of her face on my mind.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She hasn't talked to me since that day that I woke up in her bed. It was so awkward, because I still see her every day, but even when I try starting a conversation she walks away. It is not my fault she won't break up with Puck therefore I am not risking my heart getting even more attached. She cannot have everything she wants just because she is Santana Lopez. To make the whole situation worse she is always around Puck. She will see me and she will quickly turn away and go right back to Puck. It is so confusing to me. It has been a week since her party and I told her we could be friends because if we can't be together I still want to be around her even though it is hard.
"Hey Brittany. What are you doing after school?" I shut my locker to see Quinn waiting for me. Oh that is another thing. I found out Quinn is actually pretty cool and funny to hang out with. We have gotten pretty close since the party. She has become one of my very good friends.
"I don't think anything. Sam is hanging out with a few of the football players so I have nothing going on."
Quinn bobs her head as we walk to my last class. "So wanna come over to watch a movie?"
"Aren't you hanging out with Santana?" I ask because that is still Quinn's best friend.
"Na she is hanging out with Puck again." Quinn rolls her eyes. I feel nauseous just thinking about those two together. Quinn pulls a laugh from me though when she makes a gagging noise.
"Sure but can we doing something else tonight we have already gone through three movies this week."
A wicked gleam shines in Quinns eyes. "Sure I have just the plan. Wear something hot and I will pick you up at 9."
I don't like the look in her eyes. "What do you have planned Quinn?" I asked worriedly as we stop outside my classroom.
"Oh don't you worry it will be fun." She winks and turns almost skipping down the hall.
"Why does that make me more worried?" I question myself as I head to the classroom.
Later that night
Quinn pulls up to my house and honks her horn. I double check myself in my mirror to make sure that I looked good. I went with a tight black short dress that was simple but huge me perfectly. I don't know what we are doing tonight but I will look good doing it.
I run out of my house and hop into Quinn's blue car.
"Alright so where are we going?"
I look over at Quinn and see that she too has picked a short tight dress, but hers was a greenish color that matched her eyes.
"Well if I told you that I would have to kill you." She winks at me. "Oh but you will need this." she hands me over a license that has my picture on it. I take in the details that say I am from Idaho and that I am now 21 years old.
"Ugh where did you get this?"
"Oh don't worry I have had mine for years and no one has caught on. Santana and I go out all the time with the fakes." Quinn starts shaking her head and laughing. "Santana's even says that she is from Alaska."
"Stop worrying we will have fun and loosen you up from your mood." Quinn leans up and blasts the radio and we both starts bobbing to the songs that are played.
We drive for about 20 minutes till Quinn pulls over. I see a club with bright lights flashing through the doorway.
"So I am guessing that is where we are going right?" Quinn smiles at me and nods.
"Ready to get your groove on?"
I laugh at her dorkiness.
She grabs my hand and leads me to the entrance of the club to a big bouncer.
"Hello Quinn." The bouncer says. He is a huge buff guy with his muscles bulging out of his cut off shirt. He has short black hair that sticks up. He is also about a foot taller than I am. So what I am trying to say is this guy is huge and scary.
"Hey Tyler. How is it tonight?"
"Same as always. The party doesn't start till you get here." He gives a burly laugh and a wink. "I see you left my cousin at home this time. Good choice. Who is this one?" He nods to me.
"This is our new girl Brittany." She give a cheesy grin. "You cousin might show up but I never know these days. Any of the other girls show up?"
"Yeah I have already let some in." He turns to me know. "Let me guess you are 21 too?" he rolls his eyes.
Quinn cuts in "you bet she is. Now you gunna open that rope up or what?"
Tyler rolls huffs and lifts up the rope for them. "If they catch you guys I knew nothing. Oh and Quinn did you think about the offer?" It almost looks like Tyler blushes as he asks nervously.
"Still thinking but I'll let you know soon." Quinn brushes by him and grabs my arm pulling me with.
"Who's his cousin?" I ask curiously.
"Santana of course you couldn't tell?" Quinn giggles. "We have been going here with our fakes since we found out Tyler was the bouncer. He has been like tall since he was 10 he just got a lot muscular so it was an easy job for him to get. He is 18 now and they let him bounce because he can't be around alcohol."
Quinn explains.
I can't help the feelings I get, the excited feelings, when Quinn says Santana's name. Stupid feelings.
"common enough of that lets go get a drink than dance!
We grab a dink and start to dance. Were bouncing around to the music when I feel a hand on my waist guiding me to the rhythm. I look up at Quinn with wide eyes. She gives me a thumbs up and motions that she is going to get a drink. I shake my head no but she rolls her eyes and mouths 'have fun'.
I take a chance and peek over my shoulder. He has shaggy brown hair and deep green eyes. He is very tall and sends me a wide smile.
"Hi." He leans down to my ear, I am not used to people towering over me. "I couldn't help but notice you and your dancing. I'm Ben. Can I dance with you for one more song?" He ask hopefully.
I give him a nod letting him know I heard what he said and keep dancing with him. He is very good looking, but I can't seem to want to be around him. I know what he wants from me by the way his hands run over my ass or dip down to my inner thigh. I spin away from him after a few songs wanting to get away. He catches me by my arm and spins me around.
"Hey you wanna get outta here?" He gives me a knowing smirk, and right away I can tell he is a guy that is not used to hearing the word no.
"No I don't want to go anywhere with you. It was fun dancing and all but that is as far as this night is going." I say polite so that there is no trouble.
"Oh come on we could have a lot more fun together." He gives me a wink. I raise an eyebrow.
"Are you related to Puck?" I ask.
"What?" He looks really confused now. Then he grabs my arm tighter and I try pulling away as he drags me across the dance floor. I finally get out of his grasp. "Hey I am just talking you to get another drink." He says innocently trying to reach for my arm again.
I feel my blood boiling. Who drags someone anywhere when they don't even know them.
I feel another arm wrap around my waist and a kiss to the cheek. Okay now what is going on. It feels like I am in the fucking twilight zone. Why do people feel the need to touch me.
"Hey babe I lost you a while ago. I thought you were just dancing. Who is this?" I would have expected Quinn to save me but who the hell is this. I don't recognize the voice so I look over beside me. I am stunned by what I see. The girl is Latina and has beautiful long hair pulled back into a high ponytail. She looks very similar to Santana but a couple inches taller but just as skinny. Her stomach is showing from her cut off shirt and damn those abs. He eyes from what I can see are not as brown as Santana's but almost hazel. Needless to say the girl is drop dead gorgeous.
"Uh yeah I was dancing. This guy is Ben?" I force myself to turn back to the guy tearing my eyes away from the beautiful girl. "Ben right?"
He nods his head looking between us and I feel the girl tighten her arm on me. "You two are dating?"
"Yeah why do you have a problem with that?" The pretty tan girl says.
"Yeah kinda. I was kinda hopin she would go home with me." My jaw drops. I knew what he was trying to do, but I did not expect him to just say it out loud.
"Well you can get your hopin ass out of my sight before I do something that I will not regret but possibly get me kicked outta here."
"Psh whatever." He waved us off and walked away. I turn to the girl.
"I don't know you right. Like your not really my girlfriend are you?"
The girl laughs and I can't help but stare at her smile. It is so big and pretty.
"Nah I just wanted to help you out with that asshole. I saw your look as he was dragging you and I figured you didn't want to be in that situation. For the records though I would definitely not mind being your girlfriend." She winks. "Here let me buy you a drink." She might be hot but I am still skeptical.
"I don't even know your name." I say raising an eyebrow.
"Well my name is Skyler and you?"
"I'm Brittany."
"Hmm." She hums like she is thinking over something then she shakes her head. "Well Brittany it would be an honor if you would let me buy you a drink." She says smoothly and boldly laces her fingers with mine. "Since I am you girlfriend for the night and all." She smiles again and fucking dimples appear in her cheek. She is like the second most beautiful person I have ever met, Santana being number one.
"I mean if you're going to put up that much of a fight I guess I could let you." Where the hell did that come from.
Her smiles turns wicked. "Oh I definitely will put up the fight." We walk over the bar together and spend the next hour just talking. I find out that she is a senior at a school right outside of Lima. It is called Dalton or something like that. I also found out that she is funny. She is constantly lighting the mood and making me laugh. She is so comfortable with herself. She is also totally into girls.
"So…" she says looking down at her hands. This is the first time I have seen her nervous since I met her. "I was wondering if maybe you would want to go out sometime?" Her eyes finally travel up to mine. Hazel eyes meeting blue.
"Uh." Why is it that I automatically think of Santana. I have been pinning after her for so long, but she is dating someone right now. Why should I be deprived of happiness when she just wants to mess with my heart. "Yeah that sounds fun." Her eyes light up
"Awesome can I have your number?" She beams looking so excited.
I give her my number and she quickly shoots me a text. I feel my phone vibrate. "There now you have mine too." Her hand lightly rest on top of mine.
"Brittany!" I jump when I hear my name. I can tell by the voice that it is Quinn. "Look who showed up tonight she was let free!" Quinn whoops at me as she steps closer then swings the person around in front of us.
"The fuck Quinn." She rubs her wrist. The most breath taking brown eyes meet mine for a second before traveling to Skyler. "Brittany why are you sitting by her?"
I'm confused so I ignore the comment. "Santana this is-"
"I know who the fuck she is. Why are you over here with my cousin?" Then she looks down at our hands "oh really?"
"Well looky here. That guy is calling me over. I will catch up with you girls later." Quinn quickly rushes away leaving us to the building tension. I think I am the only one in the group that notices her leave. I give her a pathetic wave.
Santana glares hard at Skyler. "Really after everything I have told you? Why the fuck are you holding her hand."
Skyler squeezes my hand once more before letting go. She then leans closer to Santana trying to whisper, but I can still hear them.
"How was I supposed to know this was your Brittany? There is no way I could have known that. I just met her and some guy was trying to drag her home."
"How could you not know this was my Brittany when you can see her blue eyes are so fucking blue. How many times have I described those eyes to you." I cant help the tingle I feel in my stomach at the fact that she called me hers. Then I think back to our conversation and realized I am not hers and she doesn't own me. I can date whoever I want. She doesn't have the right to make Skyler feel bad for trying to date me.
"She said she wasn't with anyone." Skyler mumbled.
I have had enough at this point. "I am not anyone's and I am not Santana's Brittany. She made it perfectly clear already that we couldn't be together." I motion towards Santana. "She has a boyfriend and I am dating no one. Just clearing up everything."
Skyler looks kind of shocked. "You have a boyfriend?"
"That doesn't matter." Santana tries to brush off again, but to me it does matter.
I finally let everything that was building up out. "It does matter though. It mattered this week when you were rubbing your relationship in my face." She starts shaking her head. "You can't have everything. I want to find happiness too. I like Skyler." I smile when I notice that Skyler's hazel eyes light up. "We are going to go on a date because we want to get to know each other better." I lift my chin firmly even though I feel like I can collapse at any moment. "I gave you a chance Santana. I gave you the option to choose me and you didn't."
"I couldn't." She whispers.
"I have to live with your choice and so do you." I am trying so hard to hold back my tears. Why does this feel like a break up when we are not even dating.
Santana nods her head and walks backwards quickly away from us.
"Shit." Skyler mumbles then looks at me studying my features. "shit." She mumbles again and pulls me into a hug. I wrap my arms tightly around her taking comfort in her embrace. I feel my tears soaking into her shirt.
I don't even realize that we have moved till I hear her talking to someone. "Quinn. Go find San she is in the bathroom. She will need to go home probably to yours tonight. I would take her myself but she is going to be super pissed at me for a while, so I will try talking to her tomorrow. Most important question are you okay to drive."
"Yeah." I can hear the confusion in Quinn's voice. "Do you want me to take Britt from you." I feel Quinn's soft hand on my shoulder.
"No I can take her home."
"I better not hear about any funny business Sky." I hear Quinn say in a stern voice.
"I promise." Skyler says and I feel her hand rub my back.
"Okay Britt let me know when you are home safe." I nod my head into Skyler's shoulder. Not wanting to move.
Skyler navigates us through the club and out the door. I hear her brother yell at her as she passed the rope.
The whole way back is silent as I try to collect my thoughts. Was I too hard on Santana? Why are we both so upset we were never together and barley friends. How long has she been talking about me to her cousin.
"Where in Lima wanna let me know where you live?" Skyler ask softly trying to ease me out of my thoughts.
"Ugh yeah but could you actually take me to a friend's house." She nods in understanding. I give her the address and a couple minutes later we were outside Sam's house.
Now I am starting to feel nervous about the whole situation. "Thank you for taking me home. I am sorry about this whole situation and I completely understand if you want to delete my number and forget about going on that date."
She nods. "Yeah the smart thing would be for me to delete your number." I am starting to feel disappointed because Skyler is the only other person I have felt interested in besides Santana. I swear something is in their blood that is like a Brittany Pierce attractant.
"But…" She looks back up meeting my eyes. "I'm not all that smart." She smiles again till I see the cute dimples. "There is just something about you Brittany. Will we end up dating." She shrugs. "I don't know right now. I do want to start off as friends and see where we end up from there." She takes my hands in her warm ones. "I think you need a little time to cool off from whatever just happened. I need to talk to my cousin and figure out her deal, but if you are up for it I would still like to take you on that date even if it is just a friend date please." I can't help but giggle at her pleading face.
I nod my head.
"Yes." She fist pumps the air. "Well I will be texting you than Brittany."
I nod again and unbuckle my seat belt. I freeze when I felt soft lips press against my cheek. "Goodnight." She whispers against my cheek.
"Goodnight." I whisper back and hop out of the car. I turn and wave before I run around the back of the house and climb up into the tree. I open the window and climb in. I see Sam in his bed sleeping on his back.
I take off my dress and slip on one of Sam's shirts and pull up a pair of his shorts and crawl into bed with him. I wrap my arms around him needing the comfort of my best friend. I feel his arms instantly wrap around me.
Sleep slowly takes over but I already know it is going to be a restless night as tears leak out of my eyes.

Please dont hate me for the fight it needed to happen for Santana to realize that she doesn't get everything and that she might have to try. Remember they are end game!
Please review or PM me to let me know what you think!
