A/N: Okay I'm extremely and truly sorry for not updating. Blame finals and a spring sport. But luckily for everyone I'm a tad sick and procrastinating on studying. Here's the next chapter and I'll try to update with another chapter as soon as possible. ENJOY : )
Chapter Fifteen
Brittany's POV
It's ten days before my audition and I'm beginning to get a little anxious. But with this audition coming up it's gotten me to start thinking more about the future. Most importantly, I've started thinking about my future with Santana. To be honest I see everything with her. I see us going either to the same college or somewhere close to each other. I see me proposing, yes me, because honestly I think San would chicken out. I want a family with her. I can see tiny Santana's and me's running around a nice big house. I'll be a dancer, maybe famous, maybe not. Santana would be some hotshot lawyer making everyone cry while on stand. Even though I want this future, I would never hold her back from her dreams. I couldn't live with her regretting me because I didn't allow her to go after her dreams.
"Hey Brit, what's up?" Courtney greets me at my locker.
"Hey Court. I'm good. What's up with you?" I ask. Courtney and I rarely talk anymore even though she's one of my best friends. I've kind of missed her lately.
"Oh nothing. It's a Tuesday so that means I'm just praying for the weekend to get here faster," she laughs.
"Hey I just got an idea. Let's go out to dinner tomorrow night. We really need to catch up and I miss talking to you," I say.
"Yeah sure I'd love that and I miss talking to you too," Courtney says.
"Cool. So let's just meet up somewhere," I suggest.
"Yeah that's cool," Courtney says then heads off to her next class.
I head to mine that luckily I share with Santana. It's history, which isn't really my favorite subject, but having San there helps it go by so much quicker. I sit in my regular seat in the back next to San. She hasn't arrived yet, but that doesn't surprise. San likes to arrive seconds before the bell rings. I'm texting Courtney the restaurant where we should eat when I look up and San is sitting next to me. She's kind of early.
"Hey," I greet her with one of my smiles.
"Hey babe," she says and returns the smile. "Would you like to go out to dinner tomorrow night?"
"Oh I can't. Courtney and I are meeting up for dinner," I say like it's no big deal because it's not, but I know Santana.
I see her face change from happy to kind of 'what the fuck'. "Why?" she says in a tone.
"We want to talk and catch up. Courtney is one of my best friends and we rarely have had time to talk," I say hoping San will understand.
"Okay. Have fun," she says and I can see that she really understands. This new and in love Santana makes me fall that much more in love with her every day.
It's Wednesday night; Courtney and I meet up at a local Italian restaurant. We both love Italian and this place has great food. It's a slow night so we're seated immediately. It doesn't take either of us long to figure out what we want so we're quick to order.
"So Court where are you going to college?" I ask.
"I got a full ride to the University of Southern California. I'm signing the papers Friday," she says.
"Holy shit, why didn't you say anything? This is huge." I exclaim since she's acting so nonchalant about this.
She shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. When I sign those papers and everything's for sure then I'll be happy."
"What did Emily say?"
"She's happy for me. She doesn't understand why I'm not jumping off the walls, but she's being real supportive. Actually she's talking to the cheer coach."
"So you're trying to stay close to each other?"
"Well, yeah, I guess, I don't know. Each time Emily brings it up I kinda avoid the question. Don't get me wrong I love Emily. I'm so in love with her it's ridiculous, but I'm terrified because if we don't go to the same school I don't think we can handle a long distance relationship," Courtney explains and I see where she's coming from. After everything that happened this past year with Emily I can see Court's hesitation.
Santana's POV
I'm sooooo bored. So, I decide to head over to Quinn's house. We haven't had a lot of Quinn/Santana time lately so I'm going to fix that. It's around seven o'clock when I ring her doorbell. Quinn opens the door and is shocked to see me.
"San, what are you doing here? Did we have plans?" she asks.
"No, I'm just really bored and thought that we haven't had Quinn/Santana time in a long time," I say as I enter the house.
"Well yeah, because you're usually connected to your wife all the time," she jokingly says as we walk into the family room. For the past few weeks Quinn has been calling Brittany my wife. It gets annoying, but I can't help but to smile a little when she says that. "By the way where is Brittany?"
"Brittany and Courtney are having dinner together," I say.
"Oh my god you let her go out," Quinn says overdramatically.
"Ha ha you're so funny. They're friends catching up just like we're about to do. So what's new Q?" I ask.
"Well I got accepted to NYU, Ohio State, and UK. I should here from Columbia in a few days," she says excitedly.
"Q, why did you say anything? That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. Where do you want to go?" I ask.
"Columbia, but I may not get in," she says sadly.
"You'll get in. I can feel it."
"Thanks, San. Now where are you and Brittany going?" she asks and I let out a deep sigh.
"Good question."
"Well I know the audition is in a week. If she gets into Julliard will you go to NYU?" she asks.
"Probably. I may go to Columbia. Brittany says I shouldn't lay my future on this audition. She wants me to go wherever I want to go," I say.
"Okay. Well she wants you to follow your dreams because she loves you, but you seem upset. What's up?" Quinn asks considered over her friend's behavior.
"I know Brittany said all that cause she loves me, but I'll follow her anywhere. I can't imagine my life without her, Q. I have never thought about a future for myself. Whenever I thought about my future I thought about going to college, getting a law degree and being a high successful lawyer. I never imagined a family, but with Brittany I want it all. I want the house in the suburbs or city, because Brit will need to be close to a dance studio, a wedding, and little kids running around that are mini Brittany's and Santana's," I say in such determination that I may have shocked Quinn.
"Wow!" she says shocked. "I have never heard you talk like that."
"Well that's because Brittany's it for me. I know I'm only eighteen and too young and finding your soul mate is such a cliché, but it's true I found her. I don't wanna go anywhere that doesn't have Brittany."
A huge smile has spread over Quinn's face. "So we should start planning the wedding now?"
I give her a little shove in the shoulder, but a huge smile is plastered across my face.
Brittany's POV
It's two days before my audition and I'm a nervous mess. I've practiced day in and day out just to nail my routine and trust me when I say I'm so confident it's not even funny. It's still nerve wracking no matter how many times I practice. Santana has been amazing through it. She knows I need my space, but when I'm practicing late at night she'll stop by the dance studio with food and I'll take about forty-five minutes to stop and eat with her.
Today is the morning that my mom, San, and I are driving to New York City. I'm packing the car while Santana is half asleep on the couch. Like I've said before, she's not really a morning person.
"Brittany, sweetie, I have some bad news," my mom says to me as I put the last bag into the car.
"Oh my god what?" I say as I begin to panic.
"I can't take you to New York. My office just called and I can't get the time off," my mom says.
"Seriously!" I say and I'm in full panic mode. "What does this mean?"
"Well you need adult supervision in the big City so, I've called someone to take you," my mom says.
"Who?"
As if on cue a car pulls into the drive way and out steps my sister. "Emily!" I exclaim and jump into my sister's arms.
"Hey Brittany," Emily says as she spins me around in a circle.
"This is awesome. You're taking me to New York!"
Santana comes outside looking groggy wondering what the commotion is.
"San, Emily is taking us to New York!" I exclaim excitedly.
"Hey," San says, probably still not knowing what's really going on.
"Nice to see you to, Santana," Emily says while laughing.
Soon we pile into the car. I decide to drive the first part of the way, while Santana passes out in the back seat and my sister and I talk in the front seat. Our trip to New York begins!
Please R&R it's most appreciative. : )
