I woke up to the smell of coffee and pancakes … Rachel was up. i got up and stretched before scratching lord Tubbington behind his ears. "morning LT"
he purred softly before following me into the kitchen. Tina and Mercedes were sitting at the table waiting for Rachel's world famous pancakes … well Lima, Ohio famous.
"well look who decided to roll out of bed" Tina smiled at me.
she was followed by a groggy "Morning Britt" from Mercedes and a very enthusiastic "good morning" from Rachel.
after a few minutes, a large plate of pancakes appeared in front of us and my mouth instantly watered. Thank god for Rachel Berry because when it came to me and the other girls, were as useless as a fish without water when it came to cooking. we all dug in and ate peacefully.
a loud male voice startled me and i immediately knew who it was. i put on my best HBIC glare and walked into the room.
"Samuel Alexander Pierce you've got about 10 seconds to live!" i growled.
his face paled and scratched the back of his neck and chuckled nervously.
"aww come on sis i got her here didn't I?" he said.
"yea, 4 hours late!" I fired back
he stood with his hands in his pockets and poked out his lower lip. "sorry?" he asked more than stated. MY resolve quickly faded . i'd always had a soft for my brother.
"get over here you loser" I said with a smile. he rushed over to me and enveloped me in a big hug.
"i missed you brat" i spoke into his shirt as he squeezed me tighter.
"i missed you too Britty"
"oh and sam?" i asked as i pulled away slightly.
"yeah britt?"
"pull a stunt like that again and i'll have your balls. are we clear?" his eyes widened and he shook his head.
"crystal sis" he audibly gulped. I let him go so he could greet everyone else. Sam and I were twins but I was older by 2 hours. I still don't know how the hell my mom got through that long of a labor but she did. me and sam have always been super close ever since my dad left us when we were little. I guessed we realized that even people you were close to and thought you could trust could just as easily hurt you as a stranger could. yeah we still had our mom, but at the end of the day we looked out for each other no matter what. sure my little brother could be a pain in the ass, but he was my pain in the ass so i'd protect him at all cost. its always been like that.
*flashback*
a nine year old Brittany Pierce stood near the swings with her three best friends Tina, Rachel, and Mercedes when her little brother Sam came running up to her in tears.
"B-Brittany!" he sobbed. the young girl wrapped her arms around her brother and soothingly stroked his hair.
"shh broertje, tell me what's wrong" she said. Sam pulled away from his sister and wiped his eyes.
"T-Those b-boys stole m-my toys a-and they w-won't give them b-back" he cried. Brittany frowned and looked at her friends who looked equally upset.
"show us where they are broertje" she said to him. Sam sniffed and pointed towards a group of middle school boys. the girls quickly made their way over to them.
"Hey!" she called out to them and one of the boys turned around,
"what do you want?" he snarled.
"give my brother back his toy" she stated firmly. The boy just shook his head and chuckled darkly.
"did the little baby go get his sister to fight for him" he said in a mocking tone.
Brittany saw the look of sadness on her brothers face and was angered even more. she took a step towards him.
"dont talk to him like that!" she said through clenched teeth.
the boy rolled his eyes at her. "or what Blondie? you gonna hit me with a barbie?" he challenged. This earned an eruption of laughter from his friends Brittany grinned evilly at her friends before facing the boy again.
"no.. I'll do this!"
she grabbed his shoulders with both hands and brought her knee up forcefully to his crotch. The boy doubled over in pain as Rachel, Tina, and Mercedes chased the other boys aways.
she crouched down to the injured boys level.
"leave my brother alone do you understand? if I hear that you've been messing with him again things will be much worse. got it?!"
the boy nodded furiously before hurriedly scrambling away. Brittany picked up Sams transformer action figure and handed it to him.
"thanks Britty" he spoke looking down at shoes.
"you're welcome broertje. Sammy listen, nobody pushes the Pierces around. you have to stick up for yourself. We never shy away from a problem and if you can't handle it on your own then you call me and we'll figure it out together, ok?"
Sam smiled at his sister and pulled her in for a hug. "ok britt"
*end of flashback*
"britt… Britt!" I jumped as Sam's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"what?" i asked him.
"you kinda spaced out for a second… I was asking you if you could walk down to that coffee shop with me" he asked.
i nodded and walked towards the door. "sure lets go".
we walked out into the brisk afternoon air and I was immediately grateful that i brought my warm Juilliard hoodie with me.
"can you believe we actually made it here Britty?" Sam asked me.
I sighed happily before speaking. "i know. its all so surreal". Sam nodded his head in agreement. it truly was. growing up in a town like lima me and sam never really got out much. Everything was so mundane. nothing out of the ordinary ever happened in Lima. people got up went to work and came home. the next day they did it all over again. Its almost like everyone was so afraid to try new things because they were never taught that change was ok. Anything different was considered wrong. Its a whole different world out here. All the sounds and the lights and the people. Everything was just so… alive.
we approached the small coffee shop and Sam held the door open for me to go in. I looked around and it was quite a cute little place. the lights were slightly dimmed giving the place a very comfortable and relaxing vibe.
we walked up to the counter and were greeted by a very friendly Barista whose name tag said was Sugar. I ordered a peppermint mocha while Sam just got a hot chocolate. we stepped aside to wait for our drinks and Sam excused himself to go to the bathroom.
a small jingle echoed in the room signaling someone opened the door. three people dresses in all black stepped into the cafe and I shivered when they let the cool city air in. the boy was tall and had a mohawk and his arm was wrapped possessively around the short haired blonde girls waist.
my heart literally stopped when the third person came into view. she was beautiful. the girl had tanned skin, long dark hair that stopped a few inches past her shoulders.. and her eyes.. they were so dark and mysterious, i could stare at them all day.
her eyes met mine and I quickly looked away and I felt my cheeks heat up. I expected her to look away once I did but when I looked back up, she was staring right at me. her gaze was burning into me but I couldn't seem to look away. No like seriously i physically couldn't stop looking at her. what the hell?
she took a step towards me and I instantly panicked. was she about to come over here? i jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I forcefully tore my gaze away from her and turned to see that it was just Sam.
"Britt that Barista was trying to get your attention for past 15 seconds. our drinks are ready" he said looking at me concerned.
"she was?" my eyebrows scrunched in confusion. Sam nodded his head slowly before looking at me carefully.
"you ok britt? you've been kinda spacey today" Sam said wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I nodded my head at him and smiled.
"yea sorry I've just been thinking a lot.." I looked over to where the beautiful girl was standing and i found her looking in our direction but now she was staring, no glaring at Sam.. why did she look so angry? if looks could kill my brother would be dead by now.
i watched as her jaw clenched and she quickly turned around and exited the cafe shop. the mohawk guy and the blonde girl shared a meaningful look after they witnessed their friend storm out of the shop and they quickly left leaving behind the very confused looking Barista. they must've been in the middle of ordering before they took off.
"lets go" I said to Sam and he nodded still looking worriedly at me. we walked back out into the cool weather and made our way back to the apartment..
later in bed that night i got absolutely no sleep as the beautiful girls face swarmed my brain. I wanted to get know to her.. I had too.. and I had no idea why..
alright guys that the end of chapter 3! I was having such a hard time writing this one so I hope its not that bad.. more characters from the show will be introduced really soon and I'm going to try to throw in some Santana p.o.v after her and Brittany meet each other .. please review and constructive criticism is greatly appreciated( as long as its not too harsh ;) ) I'm open to any ideas! chapter 3 should be up soon!
