Chapter 13 – We stay together

Neither one of them says anything for awhile, they just stand there frozen, with their hearts beating furiously in their chests and looking at the person in front of them. So many things run through their heads but none of them are good and one question keeps playing over and over again: What now?

"What… what is this?" Are the first words spoken, the person's voice wavering a bit. That seems to break Santana from her frozen state and the Latina avoids the person's eyes by looking at the ground, with guilt eating her insides. She can't look up… she just can't. Because she knows the moment she looks she will see all the things she feared from the moment she fell in love with Brittany and knew she shouldn't because the blonde was dating her brother. And that's who's standing right in front of her right now. Her brother… Jason, who's still trying to understand what he just saw…

He keeps looking at the two, searching for answers, searching for some sort of explanation that makes sense… but it doesn't. Nothing makes sense. The moment he walked in and saw the two… nothing made sense anymore. And now as he keeps looking between the two girls all the emotions he's feeling inside start to rise: hurt, betrayal, anger… "You were kissing." He says in a mere whisper, more to himself than to the two girls. And as he says the words out loud it still doesn't make any sense, it just makes him feel more hurt and angry at the two. "Neither of you are gonna say anything?!" He says more loudly, his anger taking over his body.

At this Brittany flinches. She never saw Jason like this and it hurts… because she knows she's the cause of it. And she feels ashamed… ashamed at herself for not thinking about things before doing them. She regrets doing what she did… but she doesn't regret that she fell in love with Santana because that's the best feeling she ever experienced in all her life. She only regrets that she cheated on Jason, that she hurt him, that she didn't think of his feelings first before doing what she did.

"How could you do this to me?!" He shouts as he looks between the two, the tears ready to come out but he holds them back, he fights them back… "You're my sister…" He says more quietly as he looks at the Latina with his eyes filled with hurt and disappointment.

"Jason…" It's the only thing Santana can utter. The look her brother is giving her is breaking her heart into a million pieces… but the worst part is… she knows she deserves it. She hurt her brother… she hurt him in the worst way possible.

"How did this happen?" He asks, gesturing between the two. Neither of them says anything which makes him even angrier. "How did this happen?!" He repeats the question, this time more loudly.

"Jason… please, calm down." Brittany says softly.

"Calm down? Calm down?! I found my girlfriend and my sister kissing! And you tell me to calm down?!" He yells.

"I… I'm sorry." Brittany says quietly as she looks at the floor ashamed.

"Sorry? That's the only thing you're gonna say to me?" Jason scoffs. "What about you, huh? Aren't you gonna say anything?" He asks, turning to his sister. "How could you do this to me Santana?" He asks in a mere whisper, hurt evident in his voice.

"I-I…" It's the only thing that comes out of the Latina's mouth. Tears are threatening to fall from her eyes and there's nothing she can do about it. This is her fault.

"I thought I knew you Santana, but, as I now know, I don't. You're not my sister anymore." As she hears this the tears finally break free and run down her face.

"Jason… please, let me explain." Santana says pleadingly, finally finding her voice.

"What is there to explain?" He says with a dry laugh. "You two have been together behind my back, making me look like a fool!"

"No Jason… please, it's not what you think." Santana tries again but it just makes her brother angrier.

"It's not what I think?! IT'S NOT WHAT I THINK?! YOU SLEPT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND!" He shouts angrily and Santana flinches a little at his tone. "Am I wrong? AM I WRONG?!" Neither Santana nor Brittany say anything, they just avoid looking at him in the eyes and that gives him the answer he already knew. "I can't even look at you two anymore."

"Jason… I'm so sorry." Santana says shakily, her voice cracking due to the tears falling freely down her face.

"Get out." He says quietly and looks at the ground as he feels the tears breaking free from its confines.

"Jason… let's talk, let us expla-" Brittany tries to reason but Jason cuts her off.

"GET OUT!" He yells looking up at the two girls. Their hearts break even more when they see how broken Jason is, the tears running down his face. Brittany sighs and gives him a weak nod. She passes him with her head hung low and walks towards the door, where she stops, waiting for Santana. The Latina walks towards her brother, pausing in front of him, she opens her mouth to say something but closes it immediately when she sees the look on her brother's face. She looks away from those now cold eyes and goes towards the door. With a final look behind them, they walk out the door.

Santana is able to walk towards her car but as soon as she enters it she breaks down and sobs uncontrollably. Brittany instantly pulls the Latina to her and embraces her, stroking her back soothingly. "Everything is gonna be alright San."

"H-How do y-you know t-that?" Santana says through her sobbing, her voice shaky and weak. "M-My brother h-hates me."

"No, he doesn't San. He just needs time to think." Brittany says softly. "If there's someone he hates, it's me." She says in a mere whisper, more to herself than to Santana but the Latina hears it too.

"No one can hate you Britt." Santana says softly and pulls away from the embrace to look at the blonde in the eyes. Brittany gives her a small smile and wipes the tears from the Latina's face carefully.

"What now? Where do we go?" Brittany asks and the Latina looks back at the apartment with a sad look on her face. The blonde takes her hand in her own and plants a soft kiss on the back of it, earning a small smile from Santana. Without saying anything the Latina turns the engine on and rides off.


"Where are we San?" Brittany asks the Latina curiously as they stand in front of an apartment door she has no idea who it belongs to. Santana just squeezes her hand in reassurance and knocks on the door lightly. Just a few seconds later the door opens revealing a familiar blonde girl with hazel eyes.

"San? What's wrong?" Quinn asks and then looks at the girl beside Santana. "Brittany, right?" She asks and the blonde nods with a frown plastered on her face. She still doesn't like Quinn 100%, even with Santana saying that they're just friends she can't help the jealousy that settles in her stomach.

"Can we come in Q?" Santana asks softly and Quinn nods, opening the door wider to let them in.

The blonde leads them to the couch and Brittany and Santana take a seat on it while Quinn takes a seat on the armchair. "So what happened?"

"Can we stay here tonight Quinn? Something happened and I promise I'll tell you tomorrow but I just can't talk about it right now." Santana says weakly and Brittany squeezes her hand telling her she's here and she's not going anywhere, which earns her a small smile from the Latina.

Quinn nods and leads them both to the guest room. She knows the situation these two are in from what Santana told her and judging by the heartbroken look on her best friend's face she knows something bad happened, so she decides to not question them and let them rest. "If you need anything you can call my cell phone… or I can just stay home and tell my friend that I can't make it."

"No, it's okay Q. Go have fun, I already ruined some of your night." Santana says.

"You know that's not true San. You're always welcomed here. You're my best friend after all." Quinn says softly and gives the Latina a comforting hug. They pull away and Santana mouths a 'thank you' to the blonde, which Quinn smiles to. She then walks towards Brittany, who's gritting her teeth, and whispers in her ear. "Take care of her… And don't worry, we're just friends. She's all yours." She smiles at the dancer, who gives her a smile back, and walks towards the door. "Oh!" She turns around when she remembers something. "There are clothes in those drawers. You can take whatever you want." And then she's out of the room and out of her apartment.

The girls go to the drawers and take two shirts and shorts comfortable enough for them to sleep in. They change and lay down on the bed, under the covers. Brittany pulls the Latina into her and lets her nestle her head on the crook of her neck. The blonde holds her securely and strokes her hair softly and soothingly.

"What are we gonna do Brittany? What do we do now?" Santana asks weakly, her voice cracking as tears make its way down her cheeks and land on the blonde's shirt.

"We stay together." Brittany says strongly, with determination and sincerity audible in her voice. Santana doesn't say anything but plants a soft kiss on the blonde's neck and that gives Brittany her answer.


Jason finds himself on a bar at 11 p.m. drinking his sorrows away. A surprise he intended to make to his girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend) and his sister turned into a surprise to him. He still can't believe what he saw, it's too much to process. He just wants to forget, that's why he's currently in a bar drinking. He lays his head down on the counter trying to shut down everything around him along with his mind.

A girl walks to the bar with an annoyed look on her face and takes a seat beside Jason, not really noticing him at first, but then she looks to her left and jumps a little in surprise. She puts her hand in her heart, feeling it beat a mile an hour, and then looks back at the man. When she doesn't see him moving she starts getting worried and nudges him lightly. Seeing that he still doesn't move she puts in action plan B, which is actually punching him really hard in the arm.

"OUCH!" Jason yells in pain and the girl jumps a little at the unexpected action, but sighs in relief knowing that he's alive. "Jesus Christ! Are you crazy?" He asks, looking shocked at the girl, while rubbing his arm to sooth the pain. The girl can punch, he thinks to himself.

"Sorry, but I thought you were dead or something. And in my defense I nudged you a little but you didn't move so that punch was called for." She says with a small smirk playing on her lips.

For the first time that day Jason lets out a small laugh. "Thanks, I guess."

"No sweat." The girl says smiling. "What were you even doing?"

"I was trying to drown my problems." He replies with a sad look on his face.

The girl gives him a sympathetic smile and squeezes his arm reassuringly. "It gets better, trust me." She says softly before getting up and walking towards the exit.

Jason smiles at the girl's words and before he knows it he's standing up too. "Hey! What's your name?"

The girl turns around with a smirk plastered on her face. "Alexis." And with that she's out the door, leaving Jason behind with a smile on his face and feeling slightly better than he felt before.
