We arrived home 30 minutes later, Santana was able to walk on her own, but she was moving from one side of the street to the other, so I had to help her most of the time. On our way to home, I realised that I didn't know were I was going to sleep... I only had the couch and I couldn't let Santana sleep on the floor, she would notice that I was a liar. It was going to be a very long night...
It was pretty hard to open the door too, because was a very tipsy for the alcohol and I couldn't see clearly, but finally it fit.
Santana opened her mouth and said something I didn't understand, but she liked the house, eventhough it wasn't so big and beutiful as Rachel's... she instantly sat down on the couch.
-''Do you want something to eat?''- My stomach avised me two minutes ago that I was starving. Was when I noticed that I hadn't eaten anything since that morning.
-''Noooooooooooope thanks''.-She answered while she looked at her boots.
I ate my sandwich as soon as possible and then I ran into my ''bedroom'' to take some clothes to Santana. She was so beautiful with that outfit, but it wasn't seem comfortable to sleep. I took a very big t-shirt I used to wear while I danced and a pair of shorts. I took a pillow and some blankets too, even it was warm.
-''Here you are''.- And through the clothes at her, thinking that she was going to caught them...but she was so drunk that she didn't even watch them. She started to take off her shirt, so I turn around because I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. But I started hearing a strange noise, and then her voice.
-''mmmmmmmfmgsmh...can you pleassse help me? I haveee a problemm...- I turned around to see Santana with her shirt on her head and her hands resting in her hips. She was so hilarious! I took a minute to look her like that. Her tan abs were amazing, she looked so sporty...I had to stop staring her like that.
-''Of course, no problem''.- I laughed. I helped her and then she laid on the couch. I was going to my bedroom when she took my arm.
-''Where arrre you going to sleep?''.-She said really slowly, like she was affraid of waking up someone or something...
-''Oh, in my bedroom''.-I replied, in the same tone of voice...-''Why?''
-''Can you jussst stay here with me untill I fall sleep, please? i know it's weird but...''- I didn't let her end the sentence, she was so sweet when she was as vulnerable.
-''Yes, don't worry. Just stay here, I'm going to my bedroom to take a pillow and lay on the floor next to you''.-She smiled and let me go. I came back in a couple of minutes and as I said, I laid next to her, on the floor. We spent the rest of the time in silence. When I tought she was sleept, I heard her.
-''I'mm so sorrry Britanny''
-''Why?''.-I didn't understand her.
-''I called youu liarr in front of the whole glee club when you're not. I mean, you were looking at the flooorr and my third mexican eye...''-Okay, it was worst. What she was talking about?.-''...and I used to be a bitchh whith peoplee I don't knowww, and...''-I stopped her once again.
-''Don't worry Santana, it's okay.''-I looked at her and smiled, and she smiled back.
-''Youu know? You were breathtaking today...''-She said.-''...just like the firrsst time I saw you''
I waited for a few seconds. I blushed, but she couldn't see it.
-''Yeah well, you too...''-I said turning my face to see her, but she was slept and she couldn't hear me.-...just like the first time I saw you''.-I wishpered. I standed up to kiss her in her cheek very carefully and laid once again on the floor to think.
I woke up with a very strong noise. My back hurted and my head too. The sun was shining and I couldn't see anything.
And then, the memories of the night before hit me. Santana and I dancing, Sam drunk, me winning the contest, Santana drunk too, she sleeping on my couch...oh my god, I slept on the floor next to her! I turned around my head to see if she was still sleeping or she woke up with that noise like me. But she wasn't in there. Maybe she was scared when she woke up and see that I was a poor girl without bed. I standed up to see where the noise came from and then I saw Santana doing a lot of thing around the kitchen.
-''Goodmorning blondie''-She said with a plate in her hands.-''Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up, I made you the breakfast, you know, to say thank you somehow...''
-''Oh thank you! but you don't have to..''-I tried to say.
-''Yes I have to! My mom would kill me if I had arrived home like that...''
I couldn't close my mouth in amazament. Was her Santana Lopez? The one who I met in my audition?. Well, yesterday she was nice sometimes, but now...she looks like another girl!
-''Someone would do the same as me''-I said looking at my breakfast. Eggs with bacon and orange juice. Yumm. Delicious.
-''I don't think so...''-She said looking at the floor.-''At least for me''.-She smiled, but with a sad and miserable smile. I wanted to tell her that it wasn't true, that there were plenty of people that they would help her as me. But she didn't let me.
-''Well, I have to go or my parents will call the police!''-She said laughing. It was the first time I heard her laugh and it sounded so good to me. Why didn't she laugh more often?.-''Thanks for everything''.-She winked.
-''You know where to find me next time''.-I said, and she smiled. Then she left the house closing really carefully the front door and leaving me alone with that tasty breakfast.
I spent the rest of the morning, thinking about my cheerios audition number. I looked for my old CD's to find the right music and then I started planning the dance. It had to be good enough to impress Couch Silvester. Mercedes and Tina, told me that she was such an exigent woman. They tried to enter in the cheerios too when they arrive at the Mickinley Highschool but she didn't let them, she said that Mercedes looked like she had just eaten Beyonce and then she said that Tina could be fine to use her as a pompon...She was so rude, but I had to try even if I was little bit scared of this woman.
I was so bored, laid on the couch looking at the tv which was turned off and without nothing to do. I thought about going for a walk, but I refused the idea when my feet started hurting during my dance. I took my mobile phone out of the back pocket of my trousers.
Me: ''hey there, have you got something to do today? I'm sooooo bored :(''
I only had to wait two minutes to read Sam's replay
Sam:''I always have time for u ;) What about a movie on the cinema?''
I smiled to myself, he was so cute! And it was the perfect plan because the cinema wasn't far from my house.
Me: Perfect! See you in front of the cinema at...ten?''
Sam: Okay :) xxx
I watched at the clock. Shit, it was two hours left. What I was going to do now?, my ankle was better now, so maybe I could go for a walk, not far away. I changed my clothes and had a shower, if I had a date with sam I wasn't going to wear my dancing clothes.
All the children were playing in the park with their friends, and it made me smile for a while remembering when I was young...It was so easy...
I visited a lot of places, the park, the mall, the city council...I arrived at the Lima Bean, the coffee shop where I was going to start working next week and decided to take one coffee, I had enough money to survive untill I get paid so...
I stopped for a second in front of the glass when I saw two familiar faces inside. The beautiful blonde cheerleader was sitting in there, talking with someone I couldn't see. But she looked angry, really angry and she moved her arms like she was going to kill whoever she was talking with. I moved a few steps backs to see who was she arguing with, when I understood everything. Sam was so angry too, he was shouting and moving his hands like a crazy. I didn't know what happened between them, but it must be so big to be this angry...
I didn't come into the coffe shop, I didn't want to create an uncomfortable situation, so I returned home and watched TV until it was time to go to the cinema.
I changed my clothes twice when I arrived home. I was really confused...was it a date? In that case I would wear some beautiful clothes, but if it's not? Maybe we were just two friends having a really good time on a saturday night, so in that case I would wear confortable ones. At the end, I decided to wear a mix, black trousers with a very beutiful shirt that my mother gave me when I was younger. I love it.
I arrived ten minutes before, I didn't want him to have to wait for me. But he was also there, with a very beautiful flower in his hands. There was no doubt. It was a date.
-''Thank you Sam, you're so cute''.-I said smile went bigger.
-''You're beutiful!''.-He stared for a couple of minutes and then he realised that I was waiting.-''Oh! I was thinking of watching Matrix, it's a classic and there's a sesion at ten!''-He said too excited, so I replied with a ''Why not?''.
The movie lasted two hours, but It seemed like ages. Sam spent all the way home talking about the movie, and I only could nod my head because I didn't understand it at all. It was so boring. When he was talking something about of the end of the movie, I plucked up the courage and finally asked him.
-''What's up between Quinn and you?''.-He was really shocked and stopped walking.
-''Why? Did she tell you something?''
-''mm...no, but you told me that you were going to explain me what's going on with her and I'm really curious!''.- I didn't say that I saw them today, because it would be too much.
-''Okay fine. Quinn and I went out last year.''-It was obvious, I could see how she looked him and how he looked Quinn when he tought that none was watching.-''But she only used me to be popular, you know, to go out with a football player and she cheated on me...''
-''Oh Sam, I'm so sorry!''.-I said.-''Do you still love her?''-I didn't have to say that. Think before talking, that was the first rule. He turned to watch me and he said.
-''It was hard, of course I still feel something about Quinn, but she cheated on me and It's hard to forget, I apologised Puckerman...but her...''
Puckerman? He was with Quinn? What a extrange couple! Now I understood why Puckerman couldn't stop watching Quinn at the party...
-''Puckerman? But he's with Santana now no?''
-''mmmm not really...they have sex only, or that's what both say...whatever, I'm with you now, and that's the important thing''.-He took my hand and he turned his face to kiss me. My first kiss with Sam, so...now he's my boyfriend? It was fine, he was fun and handsome and also so sweet!
He took me home. I was so exhausted that the couch looked like a really confortable bed for me.
It was the big day. With a little bit of luck, I was going to become a cheerio today. I woke up ten minutes earlier to dance my number once again. It had to be perfect.
I only had to survive 4 hours of class which were really really hard. Sam and the girls (Mercedes and Tina) made it easier, but not too much.
When it was the time I came into the gym to see where I was going to do my performance. There was a girl doing her audition. Mine was thirty minutes left so I had enough time to change my clothes and watch my rivals so I sat down . I could see couch Silvester, with her red sports clothes, really concetrate in what the girl was doing. Next to her was Quinn, with her cheerio uniform and a very big smile in her face. But what really surprise me was that Santana was next to Quinn too, but with normal clothes. Was she a cheerleader too? She didn't look like one...it was not her style at all!
The girl was doing it pretty fine, but suddenly, in the middle of an acrobatic, the music was over. Coach Silvester standed up:
-''I've seen enough, if you want to do the ridiculous, go to the glee club''. -When she said that, Santana and Quinn looked to each other and rolled their eyes, but they didn't say anything. I was so scared that I went out to breath some fresh air. What if I forget the steps? Or she turned off the music like with that girl? Okay, nerves away. I had to try it. I entered in the gym and when I heard my name I came in front of them. I gave Couch Silvester my CD with the music, and them I watched to Santana and Quinn. The second one winked me, but Santana didn't do anything she just looked at me with a pocker face.
Off with your head
To dance dance dance until you're dead
I made a mashup with two songs, thriller and heads will roll. And I was dressed with my dance clothes, but I cut them a little to look like a zombie.
I'm off off off with your head
To dance dance dance until you're dead
I'm off off off with your head
It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
(Head will roll,heads will roll)
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed
I was really proud, because I was doing it exactly as it was planned. And couch Silvester was looking at me really curious. Quinn continued cheering me up and doing things with her hands to tell me that it was good. Santana didn't seem to like it, she just stayed looking at her notebook hitting it with her pencil once and once again.
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight
I made a split and then I got up. Shit, my ankle started to hurt again, but it was the middle of the song so I had to continue...just a little bit more and then I maybe became a cheerio.
Off with your head
To dance dance dance until you're dead
I'm off off off with your head
Was then, in a middle of a somersault when I felt on the ground with a really big pain on my feet. I tried to get up but I couldn't. The music was off and I could see how Santana and Quinn standed up very quickly to help me. Couch Silvester stayed in her point as relaxed as always.
-''What a pitty, you were doing it fine...SANDBAG!''.-She shout. What the hell was she saying? But Santana looked at her inmediatly.-''Took her to the nursery, right now''.
Sandbag? Why did she called her that? Whatever. Santana helped me to stand up and then she walked with me in silence until we left the gym. I was so disapointed with myself, what I was going to do now? I twisted my ankle and ruined my cheerio audition.
-''It is starting to be a tradition''.-Santana said trying to walk carrying me on. I laughed, that was true.
-''I screw it up''.-I said just when we arrived at the nursery.
-''Don't worry honey. Everyone could have a bad day. Do you mind if I returned back to the gym?''.-She said when she laid me on the stretcher.-''I don't like this kind of places...''
I would love her to stay with me but it was fair. -''Of course, go, it's okay''
And without saying anything else, she left the nursery
The nurse told me what I alredy knew...I had twisted my ankle and I couldn't walk in two weeks without a crutch. Why I had so bad luck? It took me a lot of time to return home,and was then, when I looked in the little blackboard hanged on my fridge and remembered that today, I had to go to the Lima bean to sign my contract. Oh my god, it was suposed that I was going to start working that week...I needed the job, I couldn't lost it without starting it.
I went there to explain myself, when I saw how many people was in there shouting and asking for a coffee. My boss came out of his office and shout me as soon as he saw me.
-''Do you see what I was talking about?''.-He smiled, but his smile disapeared when he saw my bandage.
-''I'm so sorry, I had an accident today at the highschool and I twisted my ankle but I really need this job and the money, I could work behind the bar or counting the money or...''- I said quickly to explain myself.
-''mmm...What a disaster...okay, do you think that you could help us today? we are really bussy and you can also learn how to do the rest of the things''.-He said trying to make me feel more relaxed.
-''Perfect, of course, I'll do anything''.
There were a lot of people in the queue and two of the boys who worked in there were really bussy but there was one girl who looked really lost and she came to talk to me when she saw me.
-''Hey! I'm Sugar! Are you the astonishing girl that our boss said that is going to work here?'' -She said with a very big smile which grow as soon as she saw how my face went red and red. -''I'm joking''.- She finally said.
-''I'm Brittany''
-''I'm new too, but I've better luck.''.-She said pointing my leg..-''Come with me, I'll help you with all the things you should know in here''
She learned me how to make all types of coffe, how to clean the bathrooms and the tables and also how to speak with the costumers. She was so nice, and she told me if I needed something, she would helped me.
At the end of the day, she carried me home in her car. I couldn't have had more luck with my partner at work. She made better a horrible day.
