Hi! Santana again.
Yeah Brittany really shouldn't barge in and steal my story. This is my spotlight moment.
Anyway, now you probably see why this was the best summer vacation ever, I realized a lot of things along the way and it got me a great girlfriend and new friends.
Brittany and I hung out all the time after our mutual agreement to be friends, even Hailey was invited to tag along a couple of times. I called Quinn nearly everyday and she was surprised to say the least. My sudden change in demeanor must have been hard to follow. But after a couple of days she must've gotten used to it because she didn't sound as hesitant when she picked up.
I even called Puck once, he told me that Quinn had spilled everything and apparently every time she saw my name on caller ID she thought I wanted to break up with her. I felt my stomach churn at the thought, sure I'd been hesitant at first, and yes I wanted to be with Brittany in the past as well, but now the thought of loosing her made me want to throw up.
I've also become the biggest sap in the history of Lima.
Of course my parents were cool with it when I told them Quinn and I were officially dating, okay they were more then cool, after sharing a knowing smirk my dad slapped me lightly in the face for not realizing this sooner. It didn't hurt, he'd never hurt me.
Then the day came that we had to return home. I had mixed feelings about this. Sure I was excited to see my best guy friend and girlfriend again. Elated even, or more like ecstatic. But it also meant that I didn't get to see Brittany and her friends -who had become my friends as well over the summer- that often anymore. Brittany lived not that far away, it was a two hour drive, but still it would take some getting used to. Driving two hours instead of walking seven steps did mean we'd have to make an effort. But I gladly would.
The day of my departure the entire group of friends as well as Hailey and Ella stood there to say their goodbyes. My parents' eyes nearly bulged out of their heads when realized how many friends their amazing daughter had truly made.
I had said goodbye to everyone except for Brittany and Ella when I started tearing up. Me, Santana Lopez started tearing up. That's so not badass. Good thing Puck wasn't here.
I knelt so I was Ella's height and she was straight-up bawling. The sight caused some tears to leak out of my eyes. When I hugged her tightly her small arms wrapped around me so her tiny hands could fist my shirt. When I tried to pull away she wouldn't let me go and I saw everyone around me with smiles of endearment on their faces. Seeing no other solution I picked Ella up in order to say goodbye to Brittany.
"Don't cry San." She said in that adorable voice of her.
"How can I not." I choked out.
"You can't cry because I'll start crying too and what will everyone here think if we turn this into our own little cry fest." Brittany smiled with tears obvious on her beautiful blue eyes.
I threw the arm that wasn't holding Ella around her in a tight hug. Brittany wrapped her arms around me just as tight and started sobbing in my neck. I felt Ella wiggling out of my grasp and wrapped my other arm around the blonde as well.
When I looked back up everyone had disappeared, probably to give us some time to say our goodbyes privately. We did grow impossibly close the past few weeks.
She lifted her head from the crook of my neck with tears streaming down her face. Which just spurred mine on even more. She was right, to an outsider we must've looked like pathetic emotional messes. Maybe we were. A little.
"I don't want you to go." She said sadly.
I let out a little laugh, "You're leaving in two days anyway." I smiled at the cute blonde. "It's not like we won't see each other again." I added with certainty in my voice.
"Will Quinn let you come?" The blonde asked with doubt in her voice. Did I mention my girlfriend still wasn't particularly fond of the other blonde?
"She will." I answered resolutely. We shared another knowing smile after which everyone returned from their not so secret hiding place, since I saw them standing there a couple of minutes ago.
Before I knew it I was seated my dad's car and was waving my new friends goodbye.
I once again put in my headphones and turned on my iPod, this time listening to corny songs about missing people. Somewhere halfway home the 'I miss you so bad'-songs turned into 'I love you'-songs.
The closer we got to home the more excited I got to see my girlfriend again. When we finally turned into the driveway I all but jumped out of the car. My smile dropped though when I didn't see my friends waiting for me.
My shoulders slumped when I realized my girlfriend wasn't here. I saw my parents glancing at me pitiful. When I was about to go inside to flop onto my bed and not come out of my room until Quinn called me and apologized profusely, someone jumped onto my back nearly kicking me over.
When I heard the angelic laugh that I knew belonged to my even more angelic girlfriend, I started spinning around making her giggle. Out of the corner of my eyes I saw my parents looking at us fondly. When I came to a stop I was faced directly with Puck. With Quinn still on my back I ran up to him and threw the arm that wasn't steadying Quinn around his muscled torso.
After our little cheesy moment I slapped him in the face.
He cried out and asked me what the hell was wrong with me. "That's for letting Artie hit on my girl." I replied casually. Instead of the glare I was expecting I saw him grin widely at me.
After that they both went up to my parents to greet them since they didn't want to make them feel left out. My parents hate to be left out. Which adds up their list of things they hate to one.
My list is way longer. Way longer.
Puck and Quinn were invited to dinner. As usual. Afterwards Puck and my dad watched the football game in the living room. My mother did the dishes and some cleaning up because Puck had made a mess. Quinn and I went up to my room to have our own little reunion. Thank God nobody asked any questions. Turning beet red wasn't something I was now comfortable to do, just because it had happened so many times over the summer. Puck did wiggle his eyebrows though, but Puck's Puck.
The following school year I took Quinn to school proudly announcing she was my girlfriend to anyone that wanted to hear. And a couple of people who didn't necessarily wanted to hear.
Quinn and Brittany settled their differences when Brittany started dating a girl named Megan. So from that moment on we all went on several group outings.
If you were wondering about the others I will give you a quick synopsis:
So Brittany started dating Megan who is really pretty and sweet. Mike got over his issues and was happy for the dancer. He even got a girlfriend of his own, an Asian chick named Tina who fit into our group pretty well. Finn and Rachel broke up when they went off to different colleges. They remained friends though, but I'm sure someday they'll get back together, you'd think so too if you saw the way they look at each other. Mercedes and Trouty mouth are still dating which is great for them. Me and Quinn went to the same college where she studied law and I studied psychology. So everything turned out quite alright.
And that's how that was the best summer of my life.
A/N: The end.
