Studying was probably the most stressful thing to Santana. She hated it and in high school she never really worried about it. And through college she didn't really have to do that much of it, except before she took her LSAT's. But Law School was an entirely different experience. She basically lived between the pages of her books and she was pretty sure she had ink flowing through her veins from the smudges on her left hand that just wouldn't go away.

She was startled when her phone buzzed on the table next to her. She picked it up quickly not wanting to disturb anyone else in the library, and didn't look see who was calling before answering.

"Hello?"

"Hey little sis. What's up?" Santana smiled.

"Hey Antonio. I'm actually in the library studying can I call you back in like five minutes?" She started packing her things into her backpack.

"Well I'm in the city today, I just wanted to see if you wanted to grab lunch?" She could hear the traffic in the background.

"I'd like that. Where?" Throwing her backpack over her shoulder she left the library.

"How about Amsterdam's?" She told him that was perfect and she would meet him there in fifteen minutes.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When she arrived her brother was leaning up against the side of the building, hands in his pockets. She was about to call out his name when he turned his head and met her eyes. His face lit up in a wide grin and he opened his arms. She pressed herself into his arms and for the first time in a long time felt comfort. She took in his safe scent and felt protected. He rubbed her back and kissed the top of her head. "I missed you."

"I missed you too Toni." They parted and he opened the door to let her go in first.

Once they were seated and had ordered, they started talking about what all they missed in each other's lives.

"So how is Jersey?" Antonio smirked and she laughed. She knew he hated it, but he wasn't complaining about getting a better paying job.

"It's not all that bad these days. I actually met someone." Santana gave him a suggestive look and his cheeks turned the slightest shade of pink. He smiled and shook his head. "Seriously. We've been together for about three months now. She's pretty cool."

"That's a record for you my brother, congrats. Shall I call Guinness?" They laughed together.

"You're one to talk. I never thought you and Britt would make it through high school let alone college and now a yearlong tour." That hit Santana like a sledgehammer.

Antonio watched his sister's face fall and she looked away. He could see the pain in her eyes. "God San, did you two break up? I thought you were engaged?"

"We were, I mean we still are I think. But we're just taking some time. She was gone for a long time and some things happened." Antonio furrowed his brows and pinched his lips together. He really liked Brittany, but to see his little sister hurt wasn't helping those feelings grow.

"What kinds of things?" Santana looked to him, hearing the sudden anger in his voice. She really didn't want to tell him.

"She kissed some guy in a photo booth and I found the pictures while I was unpacking her bags. But she said she said it was just a kiss and some flirting. They were drunk and she was lonely." Antonio leaned back and scoffed.

"That's no excuse Santana. She's shouldn't have done that." Santana played with her fingers.

"So what happened after that?" He leaned forward again and rested his arms on the table.

"I left and I've been staying at Quinn's since. But we met for coffee yesterday and talked. I told her I had forgiven her but I just needed the time."

"Did she agree?" Santana shrugged.

"I don't know. She said she would do anything and that she was going to give me my space. But she also said she would spend it trying to prove herself to me." Antonio was a little more relaxed now. That was more like the Brittany he knew.

"What do you think about that?" Santana huffed.

"Fuck Antonio, are we here to eat lunch or have a therapy session?" Santana regretted it as soon as she said it. The hurt swept over his face and he gave a subtle nod.

"I'm just trying to talk to you Santana. It's good to talk about things. Clearly you've relapsed into your old ways." He got up and grabbed his bag off the back of his chair, getting ready to leave.

"Antonio please, I'm sorry okay? Please just sit back down." He stood there for a second and searched for his reason. He figured she had been through a lot and had snapped because she was under a lot of worry right now. But he also knew the Santana he just saw was one he never like being around.

He set his bag back down and sat down at the table once again. "To answer your question, I don't really know how to feel. I just want things to go back to the way they were. You know when we were just happy and could spend all day in bed cuddling and talking. I want to marry her and want to have a family with her. I want all the shit you get with a relationship. The good, the bad. Everything" She paused.

"But?" Antonio chimed in when she couldn't seem to find the words.

"But this past year without her, makes me feel like we're not connected anymore. I feel like we've moved apart from each other. And that's what I was so afraid of." She rested her head in her hands and rubbed her temples.

"Do you still love her?" Santana looked up and gave her brother a confused expression. He knew she did.

"Of course I do. More than anything. You know that Antonio."

"Yeah I do know Santana. And you know you do too." He let out a stressed breath "I think you're feeling this way because you're insecure" She gives him the really look. He held up his hands and bowed his head. "And you have a right to be. She shared herself with one else. But what you really need and want to know is if she still loves you and feels the same way. And if Brittany says she going to prove herself to you, I would take that as a good sign that she still does. Let her love you Santana."

Santana wanted to get up and hug him. She loved her brother. He always was good with words and had always been able to make her feel better. And the advice he just gave her was completely relatable.

"Thank you." Antonio offered her a smile.

They ate their lunch and after much debate, Antonio paid. As they gathered their things to leave, the same message boy from yesterday stood in front of their table. He was holding a single white rose and a black envelope.

"Santana Lopez?" He asked timidly.

"We went through this yesterday, but yeah that's me." She looked over to see Antonio give her a weird look.

"This is from Ms. Pierce." He handed her the envelope and then the rose and walked away without another word.

She sniffed the rose. White roses were her favorite. The fragrance was comforting.

"Looks to me like she's off to a good start huh?" Santana gave him a half smile and turned her attention back to the rose.

"I have somewhere to be at two so I should get going." They both stood up and hugged. "I love you Santana."

"You too Toni." She smiled up at him and then he left.

She gathered her things and left the restaurant. She walked back to Quinn's holding the rose in one hand and the envelope in the other. She couldn't wait to get there and open it.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

After putting the rose in a small mason jar Santana searched to find, she sat down at the kitchen table and placed the envelope in front of her. It was black and had her name written across the front, clearly in Brittany's hand.

Without hesitating any longer she turned it over and untucked the flap and pulled out a piece of paper, weighted down by something attached.

She opened the letter and found a flash drive taped to the bottom of the page. She let her fingers trail over Brittany's words before actually reading them.

Santana,

I'm giving you your space but I told you I would prove my feelings for you.

Every day we are apart I plan on sending you roses for however many days it's been. And with it a letter and a flash drive. I'll just let the music do most of the talking.

And when you want, I'll be here. Waiting.

Love always,

Brittany

Santana took the flash drive and grabbed her computer from her bag. She plugged it in and opened the folder to see a single track.

She opened it and the song started. She knew whatever song Brittany had picked, it was on purpose. She knew the lyrics were her message.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand

Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand

I'm not broke – I'm just a broken-hearted man

I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?

How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me

And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be

Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet

And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving…

Santana paused the song and wiped a tear from her eye. Brittany was telling her she really wasn't going anywhere. And she still loved her. It didn't fix everything, but it was a start.

Yes, no, maybe so? Not any Brittana action, but just stay with me please it's coming.
