All Alone

Chapter Ten

Brittany walked up to Santana who was getting things from her locker and sighed. "Hey. Are you mad at me?"

The Latina side-eyed her before looking back at her locker. "Why would I be?"

"Well... I mean the kiss and how nosy I was being and everything... I just figured you were annoyed or angry or something." The blonde shrugged.

"Well I'm not." She snapped, slamming the locker shut. "Nothing is wrong, I'm not mad, okay? The kiss meant nothing. And everyone asks about my parents you're not the only one."

Brittany tried to keep her mouth shut but her curiousity got the best of her. "I'm sorry for being so curious. I just wonder things? Like what your dad did or where and why your mom travels? And I mean do you still visit your dad? Because whatever he did, he's still family."

Santana huffed. "Okay that's too far. I don't have to fucking tell you anything, okay?! And as for my dad, I'm never fucking talking to that bastard again so leave me the hell alone!" She turned on her heel and stomped off.

The blonde sighed. Of course she had made a mess of things like always. She should've never asked all those questions. But she still wondered... What had Santana's dad done that was so horrible that he was dead to her? 

Mind your own business! She scolded herself.

"Why did you come to the party with her last night?" Came an ice cold voice.

Brittany turned to face Quinn. "Huh?"

"I can't get you to come to parties with me no matter how much I beg! And then you go with the freaky new chick without even batting an eye! You're supposed to be my best friend, Brittany! But lately you've just ignored me to hang out with her! Why?" Quinn cried.

The taller girl's brow furrowed and she shook her head. "I'm sorry. I... sorry. I don't know why I went with her it's just I realized I'd never been to a party and wanted to try it out." She shrugged.

"Why didn't you ask me to take you then?!" Quinn raged on. "Ever since she got here you've ignored me! Why is she so special?! She's a freak!"

"No she isn't!" Brittany cried. 

"I've seen how she treats you! She's so mean to you! Why do you like her Brittany? Why? Tell me right now!" The shorter girl said, her face turning red and her eyes watering.

"She's nice to me a lot too." The blonde shrugged. "I think something happened to her."

"That doesn't give her a right to treat you like dirt!"

"I told you, she doesn't!" Brittany persisted. "I think something happened to her and now she's just angry a lot but sometimes she's nice too so it's fine, okay Quinn? Just relax."

"Bullshit!" Quinn shrieked.

People were staring.

"Just stop lying Brittany! Stop lying to me and yourself!" She cried, turning on her heel and storming off just like Santana had moments before.

The bell rang but Brittany didn't care if she was late for class. She walked slowly down the deserted hallway. Great. Now Quinn and Santana are both mad at me and it's all my fault too.

A few hours later Brittany slowly made her way to the choir room ready for Glee Club. Usually she sat next to Quinn but when she walked into the room she sat on the other side because she had a feeling that Quinn would shoot lasers at her with her eyes all through practice and she didn't want to be close enough to be burned. Quinn had deadly laser eyes.

The bell rang and Mr. Schue walked in, clapping his hands together loudly. "Alright guys, I've got some exciting news! We've got a new student auditioning today. Give it up for Santana Lopez!"

Brittany gasped as she turned to look at the door. Why was she auditioning? She thought Glee was super lame!

The Latina sauntered in, confident as ever, smirk in place. "Hi I'm Santana Lopez and I'll be singing Back to Black by Amy Winehouse."

She began and Brittany's breath hitched in her throat. Santana's voice was amazing. It was so raspy, and raw, and real. She sang with so much soul and emotion. The way her brow crinkled and her eyes squeezed shut on soulful notes made Brittany's heart speed up.

By the end everyone had their jaws dropped open, including the two blondes in the room.

Rachel Berry stood up with a huge grin. "Well I think I speak for everyone when I say, Welcome to the New Directions Santana! We're happy to have you!"

Santana rolled her eyes. "Shut up dwarf." She breezed past a stunned Rachel and sat down next to Brittany. Finally she turned to her, smirking widely. "I bet you're surprised to see me."

The blonde could only nod, gulping.
