Attn: should say a lot of heavy issues at the end of this chapter soo just a warning for you who have triggers. Brittany finally opens up to Santana and I know it seems like really soon to do so but they do feel very comfortable with each other and for the first time Brittany does feel like she can trust Santana with her past and she wants her to be the one to tell the Latina and not any random person in the town. Thank you for the reviews, follows, and likes :)
Brittany was a totally different person when it came to showing Santana her favorite part about the festival she was like a kid in the candy store as she pulled Santana around by her hand neither of them wanted to let the other go. People stopped, stared, and some went nuts seeing Santana at their town festival. Santana only had one blonde in mind though that she cared to talk to and have a good time with. Brittany had played a shooting game and won Santana a unicorn. Santana played a toss game and won Brittany a duck which she shrieked seeing how big it was and without thinking gave the Latina a peck on the lips which took Santana by surprise but in a good way." Sorry." Brittany shyly said but Santana shook her head." Don't be sorry Brittany I liked it." Brittany's cheeks were bright red but she was so relieved the Latina was ok with the outburst of affection.
"So what do you want to do now Ferris wheel?" Santana asked noticing how the blonde loved the rides much more than the games. They had lost the other three a while ago but from the million text she got about how Rachel was too freaking cute from Quinn and how annoying both Rachel and Quinn are from Kurt they were all still alive at least." Sure." Standing in line Brittany tensed up seeing who stood a few people in front of her now. Santana noticed this and looked at the woman Brittany was trying hard not to stare at. The woman was a replica of Brittany but in ways looked like an older version of Brittany." Is that your sister?" Santana whispered to the blonde who looked over with fearful eyes." Yep." She whispered." And the man on her right is Richie." Brittany said quietly causing the Latina's neck to turn to see who she was talking about. He just looked like a piece of work to Santana making her feel disgusted.
"Hey do you want to leave? I'll text the others and we can go do something else." Santana suggested worried about the woman beside her. Brittany shook her head but with a smile on her face. Santana kept surprising her and it was a good surprise." Brittany Pierce wow I haven't seen you since well I don't know when." A tall dark haired dark eyed man said grabbing both of the women's attention at once." Who?" Brittany asked really not remembering this man that stood in front of her." Really, you don't remember me. Your sister and I dated you had to be around fifteen." Brittany had tried to wipe her past out of her head and plus her sister had to many boyfriends to speak of so yeah she totally didn't know this man." I'm sorry I don't remember." Brittany said half turned to move with the line." You danced for me on a rooftop in Columbus." Santana's eyes widened as did Brittany's. She instantly remembered him and his obsession with her on top of his patio table at midnight with silver heels he had bought her the most expensive heels the store had. He paid her good but that was one of the worst weeks of her life. Not wanting to indicate she did remember she turned around and took Santana's hand and held it tightly. Santana stepped closer to the blonde sensing she needed some comfort." It's ok." Santana said rubbing the blonde's arm with her free hand. Before Brittany could say something they started filling carts good thing her sister's cart went up before they had to get on a cart. The annoying man to their horror was stuck with them as with two girls Brittany knew from high school both had said hi and introduced themselves with the pop star.
" I can't believe the Santana Lopez is here in Utah especially with her." Brittany looked down feeling so small. Santana's bitchy side was about to face and these girls were going to feel her warth, she couldn't stand these girls in front of her she knew exactly who these girls were because once upon a time she was one of them. Taken Brittany's hand in hers she held it up." If you have something to say about my girlfriend say it I would love to bitch slap someone and make five o'clock news around here." Both girls mouth hung open and Santana wished there had been fly's around at that moment. Brittany couldn't believe Santana would say something like that." Look." Brittany pointed to a building with a pound right in front." That is where I teach dance." Santana took a note and smiled widely." I would love to see you dance." Brittany shrugged." I am ok." The man that sat across from them next to the two girls who hadn't said another word since threatened cleared his throat for a second lost in thought for a moment." She is a really amazing dancer." He complimented making Brittany looked down embarrassed. "I am just saying." He said with both hands in the air. One of the girls named Amanda felt more confident at that moment. "yeah our little town whore sure has talent." Santana lost it not even thinking the fact she was on a ride far up in the air she threw herself on the woman. Brittany tried to pull the small brunette off the woman but she was surprising stronger than she had imagined.
All five sitting down in the festival's police headquarters giving statements was not how they plan but Santana was very proud of herself for at least getting a few punches in until she was pulled back in her seat by the blonde and creepy man until the ride stopped and a police officer had pulled them all to the side to hear what had happened on the ride." Santana you shouldn't have attacked her for me I am use to the names." Brittany explained not wanting the woman to get in trouble but Santana had seen the smile the blonde had on her face." Your welcome." Santana said before the police officer came back in." All four of you can go he pointed to everyone but the blonde. "I want to talk to you." He said firmly. Brittany sighed she hadn't done anything lately so she knew whatever this was had to do with her sister or Richie." Then I am staying." Santana said crossing her arms across her chest prepared to give up a fight if the police officer disagreed.
" Ok I guess." He still didn't know what a super star was doing hanging around Brittany." Couple calls about seeing you with a red hand mark across your face you causing problems Pierce?" Santana was taken back how the officer was talking to the blonde and then bluntly flirting with her." Officer I plan on having your badge." Santana said harshly. He narrowed his eyes at the Latina." You cannot assume Brittany was the reason behind the slap." Santana practically screamed as she stood now." What do you know?" the officer challenged." I know her jerk of a brother in law likes to leave his handy work on her when he gets angry." Santana started to explain. The officer giggles a little as he shook his head." That's her word against his." The officer spat back, up for this challenge." I have proof." Brittany said in a small voice." What is your proof?" He said like he didn't believe the blonde." I have pictures a few other things you guys already know." Brittany said the last part quietly." Give me what you have." He said." I think we will go to another officer." Santana thought out loud not liking this man at all or how he was treating this situation." Excuse me?" the officer asked." You are not the man for the job." Santana left it at that as she took the blonde's hand in hers and they walked out of the building." I am texting Quinn and telling them we are taken a walk out of this festival we have some talking to do." Brittany nodded agreeing.
"Tell me Brittany who was that man? What is with this town?" Santana asked as they started to circle the pond in front of the building Brittany had said she taught dance in." ok I'll tell you but know one thing I am not the person I use to be." Santana nodded taken the blonde's hand." Tell me." Brittany took a deep breath." My sister and I came to Westfield after my mother and father were killed in car accident that much I have told you already." Santana nodded remembering the blonde mentioning the tragic event in one of their earlier conversations." My sister promised we would have a better life but she lied and the man she came here with was a bad guy. He was into every drug known to man and he dealt on the side. Stephanie swore he was her soul mate so when he started hitting her and me she didn't say anything. I was too young to understand and when she was on drugs I tried to stay away because they changed her for the worse."
Brittany's eyes started watering thinking of her life." When I got a little older my sister started to notice how the men that came in to buy their dope liked to see me dance and at first she made it into a game but after a while the game, Santana turned into hell. I hated dancing and those Men and Stephanie didn't care. I met kitty when I was twelve and she was just as wild as I was. We had good times she made the bad times worth living through because I knew she was on my side but that's when she introduced me to another world not one that was nice at all. While other kids were playing sports and being lazy around their homes I was sleeping with men for money to survive." Santana wrapped her arm around the blonde and pulled her into her as the blonde's body shook." I didn't want to do any of that stuff and no one around this town understood that Santana they just thought that was who I was." Brittany explained ashamed of her past and she hadn't told Santana everything. "Richie met me before he met Stephanie he was one of the men that had wanted me to sleep with him." Santana's heart started to skip beats knowing this story was going downhill fast." I said no and Kitty started talking to him but he wasn't interested in her. He waited until I got out of the club one night and followed me into a nearby alley that is when he." Brittany couldn't finish but she didn't need to Santana knew." I am so sorry Brittany oh my god." Santana exclaimed putting a hand over her mouth.
" I went to the police and they basically said I was a prostitute and that they couldn't help." Santana couldn't believe her ears." You were twelve." Brittany nodded." I know but they knew my sisters reputation and I wasn't exactly the greatest student or kid around so they didn't care. He got me pregnant and I went back after I gave birth and demanded a blood test. They decided to cooperate thinking I was going to get a lawyer and it came back my child was indeed Richie's." Santana felt disgusted and pissed off at this whole damn town and most of all, that loser that should be six feet in the ground." I am sorry San, this is too much to tell you I know." Santana shook her head." Where's the baby?" Brittany's facial expression changed a little." Away from here with a good family and she'll never know her messed up mother and father thank god." Santana squeezed the blonde's hand tightly in hers." You're not messed up just life hasn't been good to you and you know what it's going to change." Santana cried." How do you know?" Brittany asked in a small voice." Because I am not going anywhere and I know you are an amazing person Brittany you just have to get out of this place. Fuck everyone Brittany here they don't deserve to know you." Santana stressed but Brittany knew she was giving her too much credit." You still want to be with me after I told you I slept with people for money?" she asked in complete shock." That was your past, it doesn't sound like you had a choice and I am sorry your parents died and you had to live with your sister and her many men but Brittany you're a good person." Santana could see the blonde didn't really believe it." Even if it takes me a longtime I will show you you're an amazing person and first off; deserve to be around people who love you and won't judge you." Santana bopped Brittany in the nose receiving a small laugh she was happy to see." Right now right here I promise you Brittany your past here will not hinder your future." Brittany took the Latina's pinky and Santana shook their joined pinkies.
" I can't go anywhere until I pay off my debt to Richie." Brittany confessed. Santana narrowed her eyes as she tilted her head." Kitty and I one night had gotten drunk it was six months after I had the baby and we were by Richie's barn for some reason that use to sit right here." Brittany pointed to the dance studio." She had a lighter and I had one to and hating him so much at that moment we decided to burn his barn to the ground and leave town. What we didn't' know was his car was in this barn as well a lot of other things he owned. He knew exactly who did it and threatened to kill us but I hadn't hired a lawyer yet to press charges on him so we made each other a deal, he wouldn't call the cops on me if I didn't press rape charges on him. That was a big mistake and he came back a month later and beat me until I ended up in ICU. Kitty's parents sent her away to live with her aunt and uncle in Florida fearing for her safety as well. After I got out I found out that Stephanie and he were together and they were getting married. He moved in and took over and came up this outrageous idea that I owed him for burning his barn down. So basically I have been taken care of the kids and house plus anything else he needs me to plus teach dance at his studio which isn't that bad until he wants to make it a horrible time." Brittany said in one breath before she went quiet.
" How much do you still owe him?" Brittany shrugged." I don't know." Santana knew she was going to change this." I am sorry we're talking about this depressing crap when we're supposed to be having a goodtime." Santana shook her head" I am learning about you now what do you want to know about me?" Brittany perked up as they went around the pond as she asked Santana about her family.
