"Stop the hurting" Chapter 22

"Is Britt in here?"

Quinn nodded her head, "Yeah, she's crying really hard. She really needs you San."

Santana looked down, "I know. Can I talk to her alone?"

Quinn smiled, "Of course." She let Santana in the room and then walked out, shutting the door behind her.

Santana looked at Brittany from across the room, "Britt..."

Brittany hid her face in the pillow again. She didn't want to see Santana's facial expression. She knew it was a bad idea to tell Lexi but the girl said she could be trusted. She was practically forced into it when she was asked those questions. Lying was something she was never good at.

"Brittany..." Santana called out for her again. She walked over to the bed and sat down on the side of it. "Baby, please talk to me."

Brittany rolled herself over so that the back of her head rested on the pillow, "Please don't hate me. I'm so sorry."

Santana grabbed her hand with her own, lacing them together, "I could never hate you, Brittany. Why would I hate you?"

"Because," Brittany closed her eyes, "I know your not ready for this. Now everybody knows about me..."

Santana gave the blonde's hand a squeeze, "Well, it's not like this purposely happened. You didn't go off telling everybody about you and I. They don't even know I'm your girlfriend.."

"Yeah but," She took a deep breath, "Soon enough their going to wonder who my girlfriend is... You know how bad I am at lying. I understand if you want to end it. I don't want you to go through this."

"Look at me, Britt," She put her palm against her cheek, "No matter how hard this is going to be, we will get through this. Sure I may not be ready but I don't think I will ever be. But I would never let you go through this alone. I would be a terrible girlfriend and bestfriend to do that."

Brittany looked up at her a smiled, "I love you so much."

Santana leaned down, softly capturing the blonde's lips. Pulling away, she smiled, "I love you too."

"How are we going to do this? I can't go back down there."

Santana layed down and spooned her girlfriend, "Well luckly, coach said I could stay up here with you for an hour. But we do have to go down at 12 because we have to go through the routine. We do have competition."

Brittany flipped over so she they were face to face, "Competition? I can't focus when I have everybody hating me! This sucks! "She dug her face into the pit on the latina's neck.

"You know what I learned today?" Santana asked as she rubbed her cheek.

"What?"

"I learned that people are judgemental. They make up their mind about you once they first see you. Not everybody is going to like us, Britt. But there are people who will except us for us. There will be people who will sit down and get to know us. We just have to find the right people."

Brittany smiled and hugged her tight, "Wow. Where did you learn this from?"

"Well," Santana thought back to what Allison told her, "I learned it from a new friend."

"I want go meet this girl who turned my girlfriend into a speech motivator," Brittany joked. "This crying really tired me out, do you think we could take a quick nap?"

"Go ahead, we still have time," She kissed her on the forhead.

"Okay," Brittany yawned and then snuggled into her girlfriend, drifting into sleep.

Santana layed awake staring at the ceiling, "What am I going to do?" She whispered to herself. Sure, she told Brittany that they could make it through this, but it would be a process. Obviously everyone is going to find out that she's Brittany's girlfriend. Brittany and her are always together, either in school, at practice, or everywhere else in the world. Everybody is going to look at her different and label her. Soon enough her family with find out about it, "Fuck!" She hissed. Her mother is the last person she wants to find out about this. "How the hell am I going to do this?" She decided she would deal with it later and try to get some rest.

Once she felt Santana's breath even out Brittany opened her eyes. She knew Santana was just trying to be strong for her. She knew Santana was hurting inside because of this, and it was her fault. She just had to be her stupid self and tell Lexi about herself. She knew Santana didn't deserve this, she didn't need to go through what she caused. So, she had to do what she had to do.

Santana woke up, "What time is it Britt?"

No answer.

"Britt?" Santana looked around and realized she was alone. The only thing next to her was a note. "What?" She unfolded it and began to read.

Dear Santana,

I hope you had a good sleep. You didn't even flinch when I unwrapped your arms from my waist haha. But I just want you to know that I love you. I love you so much that sometimes I forget that were in a real world instead of a fantasy. You've done so much for me and it means the world. Whenever we're studying and I don't understand something you stop what your doing and take the time to help me. You make dinner for me when were alone because you don't want me to hurt myself. You stick up for me when the world tries to put me down. You are the one person that I could trust my life with. But, through all these sacrifices you always end up hurt. Being with me always hurts you in the end. I can't let you go through something that I created. I can't let you walk the halls and have everybody staring at you and calling you names because of me. I can't let your mom find out and think your horrible. You are the last person that deserves that. I love you so much that I have to let you go. I have to do this because your to good of a person to be brought down. You've went through so much just to make me happy. Now it's my turn to stop the hurting. I'm going to speak with Chelsea and Lilly and see if I can bunk with them until the trip is over. I hope we can still be bestfriends, I don't want to loose you. I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I love you so much, San. Nothing will change that.

Love,

Brittany

Santana felt sick. She could literally feel her heart breaking into a million pieces. Tears started streaming down her face as she clutched the note. Brittany just broke up with her and it felt like knives were being thrown at her. She curled herself up and hugged her knees, sobbing into them. She could finally say she expirienced her first broken heart.

The hotel room door opened and appeared Chelsea, "Santana?"

Santana didn't even respond. She was to distracted with her tears to realize she wasn't alone.

She took a few steps into the room, "I borrowed Quinn's key and let myself in to check on you. I know what happened, Brittany told me, well cried it to me."

Just hearing her name made her burst into more tears. She couldn't handle this.

Chelsea walked over, sitting on Quinn's bed, "I am so sorry, Santana. I can't even imagine what your expiriencing."

"It hurts so badly," Santana cried into her knees.

"Yeah, I can tell your both hurting," She started tracing the design in the sheets with her fingers, "Brittany couldn't even make out any words when she came into my room."

"If she's so hurt, why did she do this?"

"Well," Chelsea started, "I can't really answer that, only Brittany can."

Santana picked up her head, "Is she at practice?"

She shook her head, "Practice ended 3 hours ago. Quinn explained to coach that you guys weren't prepared to practice today. Thankfully she understood."

"But we have competition tomorrow! How are we suppost to win when everything is so jacked up!"

"I don't know," Chelsea shrugged, "Coach always has a plan. Last year our team fought constantly before competition but we still won first place. She'll come through."

Santana layed her face in her hands, "How am I suppost to focus when my heart is ripped into pieces?"

Chelsea stayed quiet. She didn't know how to answer that. She couldn't even imagine how she would feel if Lilly ever let her go. She felt so bad for Santana, she wishes she could just magically fix everything.

"This is the worst trip I have ever been on! I hate Pittsburgh!" Santana yelled into her hands.

Yeah, I bet you guys hate me right now. :/ but hopefully things get better between them! Review and tell me what you think! It'd be much appriciated!
