Chapter 13

Santana's PV

It's been a few days now and I am really not looking forward to Quinn going back. I can't really stand the thought of her leaving so fast. It seems like just yesterday she was here, and I was fighting with her in the middle of the night about not knowing who was in my bed. I giggle at the thought of it. Now, here we are, together. Britt and I haven't spoken so I am just going to take that as a sign that she doesn't want to talk to me. I need to talk to her though, I need to end things for real with her and make sire that we have some form of a relationship together. Even just as best friends, well just as best friends, that is all her and I can be, I do hope that we continue to be friends because she is my best friend. I have known her for a long time and we are after all the unholy trinity. We started together and we are going to end together.

I get out of the shower and dry my skin, I wrap the towel around myself and walk back to the bedroom to find Quinn packing her suit case. My face instantly falls. I really don't want to lose her after a few days together, a few amazing days. Even though the time that we have spent together was amazing, there has always been something in the back of my mind urging me to think of Britt-Britt. I guess I feel guilty for not ending things properly and cheating on her. If that's what I did. I don't know, it is all a little too much to think about at times, I really wish that Quinn and I could stay in this happy little bubble we have together, forever. But Q has to go back to school and I need to go to work. Its funny to think about how much my life has changed in the past couple of months. I walk into the room and wrap my arms around Quinn.

"I really wish you weren't leaving." She sighs and puts her arms over mine.

"Yea, me to."

"When am I going to get to see you again, I mean I don't go to school so I can try and come to you as often as I can, and I can use the passes that you and Rach have, I'm sure that Rachael wouldn't mind." She turns around in my arms and smiles at me.

"I would love for you to come and see where I live." She leans forward and kisses me.

"But.." I sense that there is something that she isn't telling me.

"But nothing, I really want you to come and see me," her smile drops and I press her for more.

"What is it Q, you can tell me."

"Is this going to work out? I mean, you and Britt were super close and the long distance thing didn't work between you two."

"Britt was in high school when we dated and I was at college, I was cheering all the time and I rarely had time to talk, so things happened and I was never really home, we didn't get to talk a lot and I could tell that it was really taking its toll on her. I did what I thought was right by ending the relationship because it wasn't fair to drag it on when neither of us were getting what we needed. But I'm not in college anymore and you aren't in high school, we are going to make this work Q, and you are going to graduate in about two years so we have to just hang on till then, I will come down every chance I get and I'm sure you will come here on the holidays." She smiles.

"Santana, you have made me so happy, I know that if anyone can make this work it will be us. I believe that we can do it, and when I graduate from Yale, I am going to move here with you. We will get our own apartment and be happy."

"I am already happy, I have you."

It has been a couple of days since I met with Holly. There is only one right thing for me to do in this situation, I think that Santana and I aren't going to work this time either. Nothing had really changed between us, the long distance thing isn't going to work, and even though I love her a lot and I know that she loves me, we just need to part ways. I am also almost certain that she wouldn't object, I also hope that we can be friends, I may be losing my girlfriend but I am not going to lose my best friend as well. I wish that I could do this in person but I think that we should do it today so we aren't putting it off any longer.

San, I am sorry that I haven't messaged you in a few days I needed to sort some things out. I am ready to talk if you are.

I hit send and anxiously wait for her to reply. We shouldn't be doing this over text message but I know that we would both break down if we did it over skype or something else. I can't see her face either or I know that I wouldn't be able to go through with it. I hear my phone ping and I pick it up.

Hey Britt-Britt. I am ready to talk, but are we going to do this over text?

I can already feel the tears welling up in my eyes I knew it was going to be hard and I knew that it was really going to hurt, I am glad that she isn't here right now because this is hurting more than I could have ever imagined. If she was here it would just make things so much harder for me to be able to handle.

yea San, it needs to be over text, we aren't working, and the distance thing was never going to work, that's why we broke up in the first place and we were silly to think that it was going to work this time, and after you lied to me about Q I just think that we aren't going to make it work, this is the last you are going to hear from me in a while, I think we need to sort some things out by ourselves, I hope that after the time apart we can go back to being good friends though because even though you aren't my girlfriend any more I don't want to lose my best friend, good bye San. Bye for now not forever. I love you.

I didn't realize how hard I was crying until I sent that message. The tears were just streaming down my face and I could do nothing to stop them. I know that I did the right thing by letting her go. I know that this is better for us in the long run but it just is going to hurt to know that she isn't in my life for a while now. I am not saying that she wont ever be in my life again because I know that she will. But just for the moment I need to know who I am without Santana Lopez.

If that's what you need that I will give that to you, message me again when you want to talk because you are my best friend Brittany, and you know that I will always love you the most. Xx

I lie down on my bed and do what I haven't allowed myself to do in days. I let myself cry.
