A/N: So two more chapters after this and I guess that's it.
Disclaimer: I don't own glee
The day for Brittany's departure came quickly and before Santana knew it she was saying goodbye to the blonde. Unfortunately since most of the crew was leaving and the rest of them were also done with filming, it was quite chaotic with everyone promising to keep in touch and much exchanging of hugs and phone numbers and as Santana joked with Rachel, maybe even a few STD's. So when she got to say goodbye to Brittany it was only a rushed hug and Brittany whispering, "you're my best friend, you'd better keep in touch" before the popular dancer was pulled away. Santana walked away dejected and decided to spend the afternoon indulging in some retail therapy to make her feel better.
The shopping did nothing for her mood which had steadily gotten worse, it didn't improve when she got home later to see Kurt and Rachel sitting at her breakfast counter with purposeful looks on their faces. Blaine stood leaning against the wall. There was a ridiculous banner over their heads that read- SANTANA'S INTERVENTION!
She threw her keys and the multiple shopping bags on the couch and snarled, "The extra key is for emergencies, not some stupid dramatic scene you want to play out"
"Santana, in case you haven't noticed, this is an intervention" Rachel piped up gesturing dramatically at the other two and the stupid banner.
Santana said sarcastically, "Well thank you so much for clearing that up!"
"I told you the banner was too much" Kurt hissed to an affronted looking Rachel. Blaine just sighed
Rachel pointedly ignored them and continued talking in a tone normally used for little children "Santana we are holding this intervention to intervene before you mess things up again"
"What did you just say Berry?" Santana growled and took a step toward her.
Rachel cringed as Blaine pushed himself between them. "Santana, she's going to leave" he said softly
Santana who was still glaring at Rachel over Blaine's shoulder stiffened when she heard this. She looked at him disdainfully. "I don't know what you're talking about" she said as she sat down across them.
Both Kurt and Rachel gave Blaine not so subtle nods and looks to prompt him to go ahead with the conversation. He sighed and continued, "You know exactly who we're talking about. She's leaving Santana. And if you don't do something about it, she'll leave for good this time."
Santana just sat there. She was leaving. The thought of not seeing her everyday, not looking into her eyes, not seeing her smile made her die inside a little. But then again, they were just friends weren't they? Her practiced defenses came up instantly and she crossed her arms in a gesture that made all three of them groan.
"I'm really sorry that the drama in your lives isn't enough to come and start trying to create some in mine. But guess what honeys, this aint some stupid soap opera scene where we'll all cry and then hold hands and sing about my pain" She snapped.
"Santana she wants to be with you. She's respecting the fact that you were just with someone and so hasn't said a thing. She still loves you." Rachel insisted
"Oh and what would you know about that, dwarf!?" Santana lashed out, as hope flared in her.
Rachel just rolled her eyes and sighed, "How do you not know this? She lights up every time you're around her. You find reasons to spend time together. She won't stop talking about you. She makes everything about you…. How can you be so blind? It's so….frustrating!" she shrieked
Santana was dumbstruck. Did she really? Did she still have feelings for her? But then why didn't she tell her?
Kurt spoke, "It's like high school all over again. Everyone knew you two were together except you two. Stop being afraid and go get her"
Santana finally found her voice, "Look I appreciate all you guys have done for me but Britt obviously thinks of us as friends. She told me so today when we said goodbye. Whatever you guys are trying to pull it's not gonna work." Santana was almost in tears by now. "She doesn't want to be with me" she whispered.
Her defenses began to crumble and tears ran down her face. This was high school all over again, not knowing whether the one person she had loved more than anything loved her back. Back then her fear was that Brittany just went along with everything Santana suggested, without necessarily feeling the same way. But now, it was worse, she felt like she blew her chance and spending so much time with Brittany just proved that everything she felt for her was still there. She never got over her. Santana didn't believe in soulmates but she knew that what they shared, she could never have with anyone else.
"She still loves you Santana. She thought she'd lost the bracelet you gave her and almost had a panic attack before she realized she'd put it away so it wouldn't break" Kurt was saying
"She was thinking of looking for a job in New York and I heard her speaking to the head choreographer about working in his studio" Rachel said
Blaine sat down next to Santana, "Look Santana when you guys broke up in college, and you left she was a wreck. You were everything to her and she was really lost without you. Maybe she's just as scared about getting hurt as you are. You need to tell her how you feel."
"I've actually been spending some time with her and Santana she's so in love with you. She was so worried when you hit that guy and then she called me the next night and just kept asking me what to do. She was worried that she was breaking up you and Laura and she didn't want to be a home wrecking ball, although I think that isn't quite what she meant." Rachel paused in confusion.
Santana just sat there absorbing what they were all saying. Suddenly she looked up and yelled "Why the hell didn't any of you idiots tell me this?"
"Cos it wasn't really our place. But you're screwing this up and we care too damn much about the two of you to watch you stand aside. Do something dammit." Kurt screeched.
Everyone froze and stared at him. Santana raised her eyebrows and in spite of the mood she was in had to fight back a hysterical giggle. "Ok, so I guess I should go before I get caught in the middle of a full blown Porcelain hissy fit!"
Everyone relaxed. Rachel jumped up and down clapping, Kurt and Blaine hugged. Santana smiled, and said a little self consciously, "Umm thanks you guys. It means a lot that you care this much. I really appreciate it."
"Go Santana.." they yelled.
Santana rushed out
