A/N- Okay so things are really going to start happening, now we get to see the proper evil side to Quinn... and the start to the slow but steady repairing of Brittany and Santana's friendship... x
Chapter 7
By the time Friday rolled in, Santana was pretty sure that she had quite an eventful week. 3 days ago, Brittany agreed to give their friendship another chance, but she couldn't help but feel that the blonde wasn't actually bothered in making an effort to talk to her.
Yeah sure Santana accepted that things weren't going to be all fluffy straight away, but the way Brittany would ignore her during cheerio's, not bother making eye contact with her during glee, the way she would drop a quick smile but then change it almost automatically to a cold glare the second Quinn was in the picture, it really affected Santana. She wanted to make amends, but how could she? Next week at school, she was sure to ask why Brittany was like this with her.
"So has the bitch texted you recently?" Quinn asked Brittany when they were making their way inside school.
"Who? Santana?"
"Well duh, obviously sis so has she?''
"No she hasn't".
"Good, and remember what I told you last week, stay away from her, she's trouble, she's already fucked you up emotionally as it is, I swear to god, if she pulls any more tricks..."
"Quinn, you worry too much, I don't have any intentions of being her friend anymore but I don't see the harm in making small talk, what's the big deal''.
"Look Britt, when I saw you come out the changing rooms together last week, I felt sick, I couldn't believe what I was seeing...when you told me that you were willing to give her another chance, I flipped, but only because she has no interest in being your friend, she just wants to pollute your mind with gay sex and I will not stand for that."
"Look, I am not homophobic and nor are you, so why you acting like this''
"I just don't like her, she's going to take you away from me, I can feel it".
Brittany embraced her sister with a hug."No one can ever come in between us, so just relax and for once, let me do things my way, okay?''
"Yeah okay, I think it's time I start letting the guys ask you out on a date''. Both girls chuckled, Brittany motioning with her head that she approves.
...
When cheerio's finished, Santana noticed that Quinn wasn't with Brittany so quickly made a dash to go speak to the girl. "Hey, you okay, Sue really had you working those abs today, huh''. She said teasingly.
"Hardly, I don't really get tired from working out; it's one of my many talents actually". Santana just smiled, she was just glad to be finally speaking to the girl, even if she did sometimes say weird things.
"So what happened last week, I mean I know we agreed to taking things slow and I know that you're bound to still have a lot of issues with me but every time I wanted to speak to you, you'd like just blow me off'''
Brittany quickly glanced around the hall, making sure Quinn wasn't around. She took Santana into a corner whispering, "Look, my sister hates you Santana, like proper hates you...I might be on the road to forgiving you but she won't be, ever".
"Well fair enough, I get that, but it would be good to talk to you once in a while, I just want to be able to show you how sorry I am and make up for things".
Brittany genuinely smiled at the smaller girl; she was making effort with her, something no one had ever bothered to do before. Quinn might argue that she did, but her job was to always fuck up things for her sister, she was a little too over-protective.
"Ok, look, since I can see the sincerity behind those eyes... Santana felt a little blush creeping on her face... "How about we spend some time together after school, anywhere but your house though".
"Sounds like a plan; we should go watch a movie"
"Only if I get to choose"
"Not a problem, but wait, what about Quinn''
"I'll tell her the truth...I mean I want to be able to start trusting you again and to also forgive you so in my eyes the only way those two things can happen is if we spend time together, so yeah don't worry about it".
"Then I won't worry, I'll text you where to meet me later and don't worry about money, it's on me". Santana concluded and with that both cheerio's departed the corner they were in and made their way in to the changing rooms.
...
"Hey sexy, I see that cheerio skirt of yours just seems to be getting shorter by the minute''. Puck always greeted Quinn in a dirty way, girls were simply a mere object to him and he didn't give a shit.
"Shut up and kiss me...Quinn plunged herself on the muscular boy... "Take me somewhere; I'm totally in the mood".
From Santana: at 15:30
Meet me by the car park, I'm inside my car, it's the red one.
After receiving the text, Brittany went straight out, she pondered whether to text Quinn first letting her know who she was with but deep down, she was worried, she knew her sister would disapprove and she was tired of the constant bickering between them.
When she approached the red car, she could see Santana fixing herself up in the mirror.
Well someone's making an effort, Brittany thought jokingly.
"Hey, ready to go"... "Yeah deffo, hop in, and leave your bag inside the back of my trunk".
When Brittany got inside the car, she had not realized that Quinn and Puck had seen them and the look on Quinn's face was one that implied that Brittany was going to be in a whole heap of trouble later on.
...
Santana and Brittany sat in silence in the car when the latter asked if she could turn the radio on. As soon as the music blasted out, the blonde jumped in joy and started singing along.
Baby don't worry you were my only; you won't be lonely, even if the sky is falling down...
"Erm Brittany, what are you doing''.
"I'm singing along, this has to be one of Jay Sean's best songs, don't you think''.
Santana smiled, "Yeah maybe, but please try to not sing over the radio it's kind of..."
"Are you saying I can't sing?''
"No, what makes you say that, just saying I'd rather just not have anything distracting me from the road ahead''.
"Oh okay, fair enough". And Santana could see that Brittany genuinely did not seem too bothered so this enabled her to not feel guilty for telling the blonde to not sing.
...
"I am going to kill that slut, what the fuck is she doing hanging out with Britt...and as for her, is she that stupid to be with her even after everything that's happened''. Quinn was kicking things around, Puck tried to calm her.
"Babe listen, you're making too big a deal of this, she's a big girl Brittany, and look, I know Santana okay, she isn't that bad of a person, she's ju...''
"SHE SLEPT WITH MY SISTER isn't that fucked up for you...''
"Yeah sure but she said sorry and ain't like anything can happen between them anyway, I mean, Brittany's straight and Santana hasn't even come out, even though we all know that she's gay''.
"You just don't get it, I strictly told Britt to stay away and here she is going behind my back, because of that bitch...oh believe me, shit's about to go down, you just wait and see Puck''.
...
"Brittany, why do we need two extra large popcorns, one would have been enough''.
"Oh please, I'll have both finished by the end of the movie, just watch''.
"Such a fatty, yet you still own a sexy body" Santana said almost blushing at what she had just said. "Oh shit, I'm so sorry, you said no funny business and..."
"Santana... you are allowed to be nice, and who am I to reject a compliment, huh''.
Both girls shared a smile, it was refreshing, well on Santana's part anyway. Half way through the movie, Brittany started crying and well, the brunette couldn't quite understand what was particularly sad about the film.
"Hey, erm, you're crying, what's up?''
"Nothing". Came the answer, it was quick and a bit blunt.
Not wanting to push her buttons as they were still on the road to fixing their friendship, Santana let it be. "As long as you're okay".
As the movie reached its climax, Brittany was now a bit cheerful from before and both girls seemed to thoroughly enjoy each other's company, even if it was awkward at times.
As they made their way outside the cinemas, Santana told to Brittany to stay put while she brought the car around. Whilst waiting, she felt a vibration inside her pockets.
From Quinn at 20:30
And are you at Becky's? I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me where you are.
Instead of replying back, Brittany just ignored it and got inside the car. Once again silence filled the atmosphere and Santana decided to be the first to break it. "I know it's none of my business, but why were you crying before''.
Brittany fidgeted with her phone wanting to say something, "Just my mum and..."
"It's okay, you don't have to tell me, I'm not planning to go anywhere anytime soon, so feel free to tell me in your own time''. Santana flashed that grin of hers, momentarily placing her hands on Brittany's, to which the blonde acknowledged.
"I was really worried about tonight, but maybe I was right to give you this second chance...I've got a feeling that if given time, then we can become the very best of friends". Brittany stated, this time she was the one flashing a grin at the girl next to her.
...
Santana didn't drop off Brittany directly outside her house; the blonde didn't want to be risked getting caught by her sister. They both said their goodbyes, Brittany thanking Santana for the treat and Santana thanking Brittany for giving her the opportunity to make amends. It was a touching moment for both girls, even more so for Santana. As she drove off, her heart was jumping with joy at Brittany's revelation of them possibly becoming best friends. Sure Santana wanted more, but right now, she was just ecstatic with things moving onwards and upwards.
When Brittany made her way inside, she scanned the living room to see if her dad was around. Must be at work still, she thought. After grabbing a soda from the fridge, she quickly made her way upstairs. She was ready for the outburst that was to come from Quinn.
"Hey, what you doing'' Brittany asked opening the room door, her sister going through a photo album.
Quinn didn't answer the question, instead asked one of her own, "Why didn't you reply to my text''.
"I couldn't... no wait, what I meant is that I was about to but then forgot''
"Why" ... "Why what''
"Why did you forget, what was you doing that was so important, that you couldn't even type out a text telling me where you were''.
"Look, it doesn't matter where I was, okay, so please just DROP it''. Brittany was firm and Quinn could see that her sister was starting to become agitated now so decided to play it off.
"Yeah okay"
"Okay as in?''
"Okay as in, I'll leave it, you're right, it's your life, you should be able to do what you like''.
Brittany went over to her sister and planted a massive hug on her, to which Quinn gave back, but with less conviction. "Thank you so much, you're the best sister ever; I love you'' planting a kiss to her cheek.
"Well it's time you made your own decisions but remember, I'm still going to be there for you, it's my job to fuck up anyone who plays around with you''. Both sisters laughed and shared another hug before Brittany got up and went inside the bathroom.
She took out her phone and sent out a text:
Once again, thanks for 2night, and guess what, my sister doesn't even have the slightest clue that I was with you! :) (Brittany)
Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, Quinn too sent out a text.
I need a favour. (Quinn)
