I'm soooo sorry guys. I know it's been like forever since I updated. I recently graduated college and I was dealing with school and moving back home, plus I've been suffering from major writer's block. I didn't have a clue as to where I was going with the story. But I've finally pushed past it and got chapter 4 finished. I'm going to try and get back into the flow of writing so I can update at least once or twice a week. I hope you guys enjoy it and please, please, please leave a review and tell me what you thought of the chapter!

Santana's POV

I walked into the apartment late in the afternoon from my first acting class at NYU. It was so much fun. Jennifer Lawrence is a great teacher and I know I'm going to learn so much from these classes. The fact that I even get to learn under such a well-known actress at one of the most prestigious schools in New York is still unbelievable. I'm constantly trying to wrap my head around it and I smile thinking about how awesome my girlfriend and her sister is.

"Hey baby, how was your first day?" Dani greeted me once I walked into our bedroom. She was lying in bed on her laptop. I hung up the bag she got me for Christmas in the closet and joined her.

"It was great. Jennifer Lawrence is so cool and funny." I closed her laptop kissed her cheek.

"Hey! I was doing something," Dani said giggling as I snaked my arms around her and attacked her face with my lips.

"Well I'm here now, so you should be doing me."

Dani is now on her back as I hover over her body. "Is that so?" She gives me one of her sexy grins.

"Mhm." I leaned down to capture her lips with mine for a lingering kiss, then trailed my lips down to her neck.

Dani circled her arms around my neck and I settled on top of her. "How was your day?" I murmured into her neck.

"It was good. I spoke to Mike, remember the manager of the studio I where I worked last summer?"

"Mhmm."

"He called me, and guess what?"

"What?"

"He passed along the song I recorded to one of his producer friends.."

I leaned up from the crook of her neck to look at her. "Really?!" I was growing excited.

Dani shook her head and smiled up at me. "Yeah and they like it."

"Really?" I repeated, my eyes popped open and my smile covered half of my face. Not that I was really surprised. Who wouldn't love my baby's voice? But the fact that a professionally recorded song of Dani's reached the ears of a music producer was pretty exciting.

"Really," Dani assured.

"My baby knows people who know people," I teased and tickled her sides. She giggled uncontrollably and begged me to stop. I complied after a few moments; I just love seeing Dani happy. "What else did he say?"

"He told me not to get my hopes up too much, because he listens to a lot of demos and stuff, but he'll let me know if they want to meet with me."

"That's great, babe. I'm so happy for you." I pecked her lips.

"Thank you." She ran her fingers through my hair and massaged my scalp lightly. "Have you called Brittany back?" She asked, slightly hesitant. We haven't talked about the Brittany situation since she called the other day.

I sigh and roll myself off of Dani to lye beside her. "No, not yet. I will though," I say. I know that I agreed to get proper closure, but honestly I just want to forget about Brittany and live my life with Dani. I really wish Brittany listened to me and never called me to begin with. But I know that talking to my ex and getting closure will make Dani happy, along with the fact that it's the right thing to do. If I want to live my life with my girlfriend in New York and be happy with her, I need to make sure I get this Brittany thing taken care of.

Dani's POV

I look at Santana's face intently, and I can read her like a book. I know she doesn't want to call Brittany. But for the sake of our relationship and her emotions and feelings toward her ex, I need her to do it. I don't want a repeat of the other day, I can't stand to see Santana upset and I really hope she understands where I'm coming from.

"You don't have to do it now, baby. I just…"

"I know," she replies softly. She kicks off her shoes and curls up next to me. "Can we just…lay here for a while and relax. I missed you today."

I smile at her and adjust my body to hers. "Okay." We tangle our bodies together and she quietly tells me about every detail of her acting class. If I'm being honest, I'm a bit jealous that she gets to work with Jennifer Lawrence. I've seen my share of famous people, being that I interned at a recording studio, but Jennifer Lawrence is really hot right now. There's the X-Men movies, The Hunger Games, and other pictures she's starred in recently. But most of all, I'm proud that I got to do this for my girl. Well, me and Denise.

We lye in comfortable silence after a while, Santana head resting in the crook of my neck and I feel her warm breath blow lightly on my skin. I massage her scalp again with my fingertips; I know how much that relaxes her. She lets out a sigh and I kiss the top of her head.

"Dani," Santana says after a few moments, breaking the silence.

"Yes babe?"

"I'm going to call Brittany tomorrow after class, okay?" She lifts her head up to look at me.

I return her gaze and shake my head slightly. "Okay."

Santana's POV

The next day in class, I find it a little difficult to focus. My mind can't seem to cooperate with the task at hand and all I can think about is this phone call I have to make later. During my lunch break I give Dani a call and she calms me down, giving me words of encouragement and it helps. It always does. I can always count on Dani when I'm feeling anxious. She knows exactly what to say to make me feel better. During the second half of class, I feel a little better and I am more focused.

When class ends, I shoot Dani a text as I leave the building.

Santana: Hey babe, I'm done with class. I'm heading tocoffee shop next door to call Brittany..

I wave goodbye to my classmates and make my way outside into the hot and muggy New York air. As I walk into the coffee shop my phone buzzes in my hand. I unlock it and it's a text from Dani.

Dani: Okay baby. Call me when you're done. Love you.

Santana: I will. Love you too.

I walk on the line; thankful it's not long. While I wait to order my drink I scroll in my call log to find the number Brittany called me from. I ordered a smoothie and found a table to sit at alone. I take a few sips of my smoothie and it's damn good, I make a mental note to grab Dani one before I leave.

After a few minutes, I decided to stop stalling. I pick my phone up from the table and call Brittany's number. She picks up after a few rings.

"Hello? Sanny?"

"Yeah…" I wanted to hang up the phone as soon as I heard her voice, but I heard Dani's voice in the back of my head telling me not to, that I could do this.

"I was hoping you'd call back," she replied. "Did I cause any problems with your new girlfriend?" Brittany asked. Her voice was laced with a drop of venom when she said the last word. The old me would've went all Lima Heights on her from the way she referred to Dani. But I didn't call her to discuss my relationship. I called so I can finally and officially move on with my life.

"That's none of your concern, Brittany," I say as calmly as I can. "Is there a reason you called me the other day? When I specifically made myself clear a few years ago."

Brittany sighs on her end of the line. "I miss you, San. And I wanted to hear your voice."

I squirm in my seat, uncomfortable. I don't know how to answer to that. There's a small part of me that does miss her, that misses our friendship and how much fun we had at McKinley. But the other part of me outweighs that.

"Since I've been at MIT, I've realized that I don't have fun anymore. I don't dance or sing like I used to and I thought about how alive I used to feel when I was with you." She continued.

I scoffed. "What happened to this realization when you decided to cheat on me with Sam?"

"Santana I feel horrible for what I did. Lord Tubington nearly scratched my eyes out when I told him about it," she said, referring to her cat. "I won't even bother giving any excuse for why I cheated because nothing can justify my actions. I also called to apologize, Sanny."

I let out a breath that I barely knew I was holding in. "Yeah…I realized that I never gave you a chance to explain before I went off and told you never to contact me. And that's why I'm calling you back. I got so angry when I heard your voice and I realized, well Dani made me realize that I'm still not over what happened and I need proper closure."

"Or maybe you got so angry because deep down you miss me too, Sanny." Brittany offered.

I clench my jaw tight. "Don't do that, Brittany. We're not going there."

"Look, I'm sure your girlfriend's great, but you can't recreate what we had."

"My girlfriend is great, and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me," I respond with utter conviction. "You're right, I can't recreate what we had. But the thing is, I'm not trying to. Dani and I are creating our own memories and our own story. All I'm doing right now is ending the chapter of my life that included you so I can finally move on." I hope that didn't come out too harsh, but Brittany needs to be told straight up.

"But Sanny-"

"No, Brittany. There's nothing you can say to change my mind. I've worked so hard to forget about everything you've done and move on and it's time. It's time that I completely move on. I forgive you for cheating on me and I accept your apology."

The other line is silent and I contemplate on whether I should hang up or wait for her to say something else. After a few moments, she speaks.

"Well I'm here if you change your mind," she says. I shake my head and smile, amused by the fact that she doesn't get it. But it's okay.

"Okay. Goodbye Britt."

"Bye San.."

With that, I hang up the phone. Dani was right; I do feel a lot better. I stay seated and finish my smoothie, replaying my conversation with Brittany. I smile to myself, proud of how I handled everything. The old Santana would've had a bunch of smart remarks and insults to spit and I dwell on how much I've changed over the years since I left McKinley, since I met Dani. When I finish, I get up and stand on line again to order a smoothie for Dani.

I dial my girlfriend as I walk out of the coffee shop.

"Hi baby, so how'd it go?" Dani answered after the first ring and it makes me giggle.

"It went good. You were right."

"Aren't I always?" I can almost feel her grinning at the other end. "So what did she say?"

Dani's POV

I listen as Santana tells me about her phone call with her ex and I blush when she tells me she said I'm the best thing that happened to her.

"And then she said she'll be there if I change my-"

There's a loud thud just as Santana was talking and she stops in mid sentence. "Baby? What was that?" There's no answer. "Santana? San are you there?"

I hear a few screams and a lot of people talking at once. "Oh my god!...They didn't have the light!…Somebody call 911!," was all I could make out. I begin to panic and my hand is gripping my cell phone so hard, I think I may break it.

"Santana! What was that? Please answer me!" I close my eyes and concentrate on the muffled noise on the other end. I hear footsteps and more voices, still no Santana. Maybe she dropped her phone and is trying to find it. A few moments later I hear police sirens and an ambulance. What the hell is going on? "Hello! San?!"

"Hello? Uh…Dani?" A man's voice said. He must've found Santana's phone and read my name on the screen.

"Yes! Where's Santana?! What was that noise?"

"Okay, Dani, I'm gunna need you to calm down. My name is officer Blake, NYPD," he stated.

"Officer? What? Why do you have Santana's phone? What's going on?" I'm in my room pacing back and forth. I just need to hear my girlfriend's voice and know she's all right.

"What is your relationship to Ms. Lopez?"

"She's my girlfriend, why? Can I speak to Santana please? What's going on?"

I hear the officer sigh quietly. "I'm sorry, but Santana was just hit by a car."
