A/N Hi everyone! Here is chapter 4 finally. I watched Sadie Hawkins last night, what did you guys think of the episode? I thought it was OK but "Baby Got Back" was just horrific. I just wish Santana had been in this episode :( Anyways I hope you like this chapter.
Santana quickly jumped up from her chair and hurried out the door, pursuing Brittany and Sam. As she stepped into the hallway, she saw a glint of a blond ponytail disappearing around a corner. Santana raced down the hallway, almost knocking Tina over in the process. After a halfhearted "Sorry Tina," Santana reached the corner and slowed down. She carefully peeked around the corner to see Brittany and Sam enter the Astronomy room. She snuck over to the room and trying to hear what they were saying. For a moment she felt guilty for eavesdropping but quickly dismissed the thought out of curiosity.
"Just admit it, your not over her," Sam accused Brittany.
"Sam please..." Brittany begged.
"No, I have been screwed over too many times by all of my girlfriends, I'm not going to waste my time with you if you would rather be with her."
"But Sam."
"But nothing are you still in love with her or not," Sam stared at Brittany expectantly.
"I...I..." Brittany stuttered, not sure what to say.
"Fine, that's all I needed to hear," Sam said deflated as he began to walk away.
"No Sam wait!" Brittany cried, "I'm over her, I swear."
"Really?" asked Sam unsure.
"Yes, I just want you," replied Brittany with a faulty smile.
Santana couldn't listen to anymore if this, she bolted from the wall and ran down the hallway. Her face began to feel wet and she realized she was crying, not scratch that sobbing. She felt numb and she barely noticed when she rammed into another person.
"Ow Santana, that really hurt..." said a annoyed Blaine but he stopped his sentence short seeing the Latina's face, "What happened?"
"She...doesn't...love..me.." Santana managed to croak out between sobs.
"Who doesn't love you?"
"Br-Brittnay,"
Blaine took Santana's hand and lead her to an empty classroom. He sat her down in a chair and grabbed a tissue of the teacher's desk. He handed her the tissue and sat down himself.
"What happened?" Blaine's eyes were full of pity.
"I followed Sam and her to an empty classroom, and when-when he asked her if she still loved me, she said no," Santana burst into tears again after finishing her sentence.
Blaine sat there shocked, he had never seen the Latina cry so hard. He wasn't even sure she was capable of crying until now. She was always so coldhearted and impassive. But here she sat bawling her eyes out in front of him and he knew he had to do something to comfort her.
"I just can't believe she got over me so fast. I'm beginning to doubt if she even loved me at all," Santana whispered like she didn't even notice Blaine was in the room.
"Santana..," Blaine began,"Brittany loved you very much, I know she did. I could tell by the way she looked at you, it was the same look Kurt used to give me when he thought I didn't know he was staring."
Santana looked up, her eyes red and blotchy, and faced Blaine.
"Then why doesn't she love me anymore?" She asked dejectedly.
Blaine thought for a moment, then replied, "I think she stills does, but is trying to suppress those feelings because of Sam."
"Why for him though? Why does she always choose the guy? First Artie now Sam. When am I going to be the first choice?"
"Maybe because she didn't even know you were an option," Blaine replied.
Santana gave Blaine a befuddled look causing him to further explain.
"What I mean is sure you came back to town but Brittany doesn't know you want to get back together. If you showed her you still loved her and wanted to get back together, I'm sure she would drop Sam for you any day."
"I don't know...What if she wasn't lying and really doesn't love me anymore?"
"Look, you're Santana Lopez, you're not afraid of anything or anyone. When you want something you make sure you get it." Blaine said trying to encourage Santana.
"Your right," Santana said laughing slightly," I'm sexy, smart, and I keep it real, and there's NO way trouty mouth is going to even stand a chance against me.
"That's the spirit!" Blaine cheered, 'So what's your plan?"
Brittany's POV
"I can't believe I just said that!" Brittany S. Pierce thought.
She had panicked. She really wasn't over Santana, she just didn't want to loose Sam. And he when had begun to walk away she knew she had to do something. So she lied.
"I just want you too," Sam said with a goofy smile on his face.
He ran over and hugged Brittany so hard she could barely breath. She halfheartedly reciprocated the hug, her mind still racing from what just took place.
"Sorry Sam, I gotta go. I'll call you," Brittany said rushed as she pushed him away.
She scurried out the door and into the nearest bathroom. She leaned up against a sink and tried to calm herself down. Brittany was feeling very confused, more than usual. The blonde knew she loved Santana but she cared about Sam. It was in more of a friend way though, she thought of Sam as a best friend, but nothing more. She was just using him to fill the hole in her heart that the Latina had caused when she had abandoned her. She was afraid that if Sam abandoned her too she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Brittany stood at the sink and looked at herself in the mirror for a short while. She would have stayed there longer if a very surprised freshman boy hadn't walked in and told her she was in the men's room. Just as the dancer exited the bathroom she caught sight of Santana leaving a classroom, her face red from crying. She was shortly followed by the former Warbler. Brittany grabbed Blaine, much to his surprise, and led back into the classroom.
"Why was Santana crying?" Brittany concerned.
"She heard," was all Blaine said before he walked out of the room.
The blonde had no clue what Blaine meant. She wondered if Santana heard about Lord Tubbington being back in jail but she wouldn't be so upset over that.
"Maybe she heard what you said to Sam," a tiny voice in the back of her head suggested.
"No she couldn't have..." Brittany trailed off.
Uh Oh.
The bell rang throughout the school the next day. All the students in Glee were chatting excitedly about their numbers and how great they were. Santana sat on the side and stared at Brittany. She was laughing at Sam's horrible impression of Sean Connery.
"How sickening," Santana thought wrinkling her face in disgust.
"Alright kids, let's get started," Finn called out clapping his hands together.
"Um you're only like a year older than most of us," Sugar said.
Finn stared at her blankly before continuing his speech.
"I hope all of you have been practicing your duets," Finn said hopefully, "Artie and Sugar your duet is tomorrow. Today we have Sam and Brittany."
Finn motioned for them to come up front. Sam hopped up excitedly and Brittany followed less enthusiastic. They faced the club and began to sing.
(Sam is bold, Brittany is underlined, and both)
Baby, I know you're hurting
Right now you feel like you could never
Love again
Now all I ask is for a chance
To prove that I love you
Sam stared straight at Brittany while he was singing. Brittany averted Sam's gaze and stared at the floor.
From the first day
That I saw your smiling face
Honey, I knew that we would
Be together forever
Ooh when I asked you out
You said no but I found out
Darling that you'd been hurt
You felt like you'd never love again
I deserve a try honey just once
Give me a chance and I'll prove this all wrong
You walked in, you were so quick to judge
But honey she' s nothing like me
Brittany sang staring at the floor the entire time. The glee clubbers gave each other puzzled looks, wondering what she was doing. Sam nudged Brittany and she snapped her head up.
[Chorus: x2]
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
I'd rather die than live without you
I'll give you all of me
Honey, that's no lie
Sam continued to stare at Brittany's face and she returned the gaze uncomfortably. It was much easier for her to pretend she was happy with Sam when Santana wasn't around. But now that she's back it's becoming harder and harder for her to lie to herself.
As time goes by
You will get to know me
A little more better
Girl that's the way love goes baby, baby
And I (I) know you're afraid (know you're afraid)
To let your feelings show (feelings show)
And I understand
Girl, it's time to let go (girl, it's time to let go because)
I deserve a try (try) honey
Just once (once)
Give me a chance (chance) and I'll prove this all wrong (wrong you walked)
You walked in, you were so quick to judge (quick to judge)
But honey he's nothing like me
Darling why can't you see
[Chorus: x2]
I'll never break your heart
I'll never make you cry
I'd rather die than live without you
I'll give you all of me
Honey, that's no lie
They finished the song and the room filled with applause. Santana sat off to the side glaring at the big lipped boy. Then, she shot he hand up and waved to get Finn's attention.
"Yes Santana?"
"I would like to preform my song now," the Latina replied smirking. She strutted up to the front, not caring about what Finn's answer was going to be, and whispered in the guitar player's ear. He nodded and she walked back to the center of the room.
"Hit it!" She yelled.
Girl, it should be me
Driving to your house
Knocking on your door
And kissing you on the mouth
Holding on your hand
Dancing in the dark
Cause I was the only one
Who loved you from the start
She stared at Brittany passionately while singing. Brittany shyly glanced away and suddenly was very interested in her shoes.
But now when I see you with him it
Tears my world apart
Because
I've been waiting
All this time to finally say it
But now I see your heart's been taken
And nothing could be worse
Baby, I loved you first.
Had my chances
Could've been where he is standing
That's what hurts the most,
Girl, I came so close
But now you'll never know
Baby, I loved you first
She continued to sing her heart out to the blonde while also managing to send Sam a large amount of glares.
Girl, it should be me
Calling on your phone
Saying you're the one
And that I'll never let you go
I never understood
What love was really like, but
I felt it for the first time
Looking in your eyes
But now when I see you with him
My whole world falls apart
Because
I've been waiting
All this time to finally say it
But now I see your heart's been taken
And nothing could be worse
Baby, I loved you first.
Had my chances
Could've been where he is standing
That's what hurts the most
Girl, I came so close
But now you'll never know
Baby, I loved you first
The first touch
She remembered the first time she and Brittany had held hands and how her hand fit perfectly in hers.
The first kiss
The first time they had kissed was in 9th grade at Quinn's birthday party. It had been a dare and when their lips touched she felt fireworks, something she had never experienced with anyone else.
First girl to make me feel like this
She had never been in love with anyone but Brittany, the dancer could make her feel more than she knew she was capable of.
Heartbreak
It's killing me
I loved you first, why can't you see?
Why couldn't she see? She had loved her first and still does. Sam has no right to just swoop in and steal Brittany from her.
I've been waiting all this time to finally say it
But now I see your heart's been taken
And nothing could be worse
Baby, I loved you first.
Had my chances
Could've been where he is standing
That's what hurts the most
Girl, I came so close
But now you'll never know
Baby, I loved you first
Baby, I loved you first
Baby, I loved you first
Oh, yeah
Baby, I loved you first
She finished the song and the room erupted in applause. Brittany looked up at Santana, tears in her eyes, then quickly ran outside of the choir room. Santana ran out after her desperately.
"Britt wait!" Santana called.
