movin' out

santanas pov:

"santana, you really don't need to take this many shoes with you." my mum said as she helped me pack my bags. "mom, we doth know that's just not true." i said smiling as she jokingly rolled her eyes and packed them all anyway.
"now santana, i know you've had a difficult few years but i want you to know that the next few years are some of the best you'll ever have. So enjoy it and have fun but just remember to wear condoms." she said in a serious tone. she seemed confused when i burst out laughing. "mom, you know i don't have the plumbing for that and i don't plan on finding a girlfriend any time soon anyway."
"i know mi amor but i just mean be safe. okay?"
"thanks mom, i will be safe. and i'll also keep you updated. you ready to pack these bags into the car now?"
my mom nodded and we bran the bags down from my room to the car. I said goodbye to my dad last night before he left for the night shift at the hospital. my mom got in the car and i grabbed my travel bag.

we left for the airport and arrived an hour before my flight. kurt and rachel were already but i was still meeting quinn at the airport.

once i'd said bye to my mom and gone through security i made my way to find Quinn. i walked around for five minutes before i found Quinn sat at a small coffee shop with her headphones on. i walked up to her and tapped her on her shoulder. she turned around and looked up to meet my eyes. her seemingly sad face lit up and she jumped out of her chair to hug me. "hey are you okay?" i asked slightly worried that she had decided to flake on me about coming to nyc. "yeah i'm okay, when i left puck was there waiting as i missed him. i didn't get to say good bye. but i called him when i got here and he said that he'll come and see us when we're settled in." she said looking upset. "we'll that's good then. i can't wait to get out of this shitty little town and move on up in the world." i said trying to lighten the mood. we sat in the coffee shop for another twenty minutes before our flight was called and we made our way to the gate.

our flight felt like it dragged on for days when in reality it was only an hour and fifteen minutes. i think it felt like it was longer because i'm just so excited to be somewhere new where people don't know me or my past and i can finally be my full self with no one holding me back or judging me.

we made it off the plane and quinn seemed to be happier than before. i think the reality of being in new york was finally sinking in. we made our way out of the airport and hailed a taxi. the drive was about 20 minutes to the new apartment.

we hopped out of the taxi and walked up to the building to see kurt and rachel waiting to greet us at the door. we said our hellos and walked up to our shared apartment. kurt opened the door "welcome to our new home!!!" he said with a large grin on his face. Quinn stepped in first and gasped in aww at the surroundings. As soon as she realised that my view was blocked she moved to her right. i blinked and when i opened my eyes i felt as if my jaw was on the floor. it seemed to be one big room that had sections. to the right was a huge living room space with two sofas and a big tv mounted on the wall. to my left was a kitchen and a large table with four chairs surrounded by it. i walked past the two rooms to see two brick walls covered in empty shelves with two doors on each side. "that one's yours" rachel said pointing to the last door on the left of the brick wall. "and that one's yours quinn" she said again pointing to the one opposite mine.

i took a deep breath and opened the door. i walked in to the empty space with nothing but a double bed in the centre of the room. i had a large window near the wall separating my room from Rachel's. i walked to the window and opened the curtains. it wasn't the best view ever, it was a of the nice little park opposite our building. 'looks like the kind of place drug deals happen' i thought to myself as i heard a knock on my door. "come in" i said. "quinn and i are found to get stuff for the apartment and our rooms, do you wanna come?" kurt asked excitedly. "yeah okay. give me five minutes." i said back.

two hours later we were back at the apartment with what felt like ten bags of stuff. After carrying the bags back up to our new home we unpacked our luggage and new bags we were fully settled in. "HEY GUYS" Rachel shouted before carrying on, "i think we should go out. celebrate the day of us all finally moving in together." "you know what Rachel, that is a brilliant idea. you know, get to know the city and find somewhere that can be our hang out spot" i said agreeing with her.

we all agreed and got ready to leave the apartment. we were all ready by 8:30pm and on our way to the big city. we eventually came across a gay bar on the corner of a road not to far from time square. we decided we would spend the rest of our night there. we went in and ordered two rounds of shots to start off the night.

an hour flew by in what felt like minutes. shot after shot we had all become quite drunk and decided to dance to the music that was playing at the time. we danced until the early hours of the morning and i loved every second of it, being surrounded by people who love and support me in the city of my dreams. It came to about 3:00 in the morning and we decided we should call it a night. we headed back to the apartment and all crashed as soon as we got home.

The next morning we were all very hung over but i knew i really needed to find a job as soon as possible because the money my mum gave me was going to run out before i knew it. kurt and i went down to the subway station five mins away from our place and took the first train to the main city. we arrived after a ten minute ride and made our way down to broadway to see if there was anyone hiring around that area since it's near to nyada where rachel was i rolling in the fall. we walked for near to five minutes when we came across a diner, the spotlight diner to be exact. "ooo, this place looks fun" kurt said as we walked in to be greeted with loud music sung by the waiters. a man in a red and black outfit walked up to us and asked if we would like to eat in or take out. "oh actually we were wondering if you had any job openings" i said as polite as possible. "why yes we do, have you got your resumes with you?" the man asked. kurt and i both handed the waiter out papers "brilliant. i'll bring these to my manager and we'll get back to you by tomorrow. thankyou for coming" he said and we smiled and left.
