Follow Your Heart (Brittana)

Chapter 22

(3 months later)

"Yeah okay we got this" I reassured Myself and Rachel.

"Yeah totally. I mean, it's not like I've been waiting for this moment for the past 3 or so years" she said obviously panicking.

I looked down at the letter in my hands. Today was the day we found out whether we got unto NYADA and to say we were nervous was an understatement.

"Alright let's just get this over with" Rach said.

We both opened the letters and read over them in silence.

I got in.

I got into NYADA!! Holy fucking shit!!!

"Rachel I got in!!" I screamed, the excitement overtaking me. "Rach?"

"San" she sighed. No this can't happening. No way am I going to New York Alone. "I got in im just joking!" She laughed.

"Rachel don't you ever do that again!" I shouted.

I walked up to the front door and unlocked in with the spare key that Britt gave me. Since she wasn't going to be home for another half hour and I was spending the night here I decided to watched some tv.

After finishing one episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians I heard the front door unlock.

"Britt!" I screamed. I ran and jumped into her arms and locked my legs around her waist.

"Hey lovely" She said giving me what was supposed to be a peck hello but turned into her pinning me on the wall and a full on make out session.

"Mmm I do actually have a surprise for you, but now I'm starting to think that could wait" I mumbled against her lips, breathing heavily. She lightly laughed before pressing a chaste kiss on my lips and pulling away.

"Well now I wanna know what the surprise is" she said. I took her hands and lead her to the couch.

"Okay so um... you know how I had my NYADA auditions last week?" I said as she nodded in recognition. "Well I found out whether I got in or not today" I said.

"Oh my God! Did you get in!?" She screamed but I just stay quiet. "Wait, you got in... right?" She asked hesitantly. Once again I just kept my head down. "Oh San, I'm so sorry. I know how much this meant to you"

"I'm joking! Britt I got in!" I screamed with a massive smile as I got off the couch and jumped up and down.

"San that's not funny" she said but I could tell that she was biting back a smile.

"Aww I'm sorry baby" I cooed, playing along. She just chuckled and shook her head. I guess she didn't appreciate me pulling a Rachel.

"I love you so much, you have no idea" she smiled as she ran her hand through my hair, tucking a strand behind my ear all while looking lovingly at me.

"I love you too" I smiled back.

"I'm so proud of you" she said. "You're amazing San, and soon, the whole world gonna know that" she told me. I was getting a little over whelmed with emotions so I just hugged her hoping it would help me calm down. Obviously it did.

"This is really happening" I said still in shock.

"Santana Lopez" Principle figging called as I made my way up on stage.

I took my diploma and stood next to Rachel. I spotted Mom is the crowd. She really needs to stop crying when I'm on stage for something. I don't really blame her though. I also saw Britt and Chelsea standing with Britt's family. I seriously can't believe I'm graduating. Like seriously, if someone told me that I wouldn't have had a mental breakdown and dropped out of high school then I would've doubted them.

"San you ready for New York?" Rach asked. What kinda question was that?

"Oh hell yes. I think you should be asking whether New York is ready for me"

"Britt!" I yelled as I ran into her arms and wrapped my legs around her.

"Hey Baby!" She said placing a kiss on my lips.

"I missed you" I said as she put me down.

"I missed you too" she said smiling. I picked up my stuff and made our way to her car. "So you've officially been in college for longer than I have" she joked. "Also we have to pick Chelsea up from school" she said to which I nodded.

"Cool. Also Rachel says 'hi' by the way" I told her.

"Damm, I haven't seen her in what, like, 4 months?" She said.

"Something like that" I agreed. The one thing that I didn't like about being in New York is having to do long distance with Britt. I mean, its not like we don't communicate with each other because we spend at least an hour each night on the phone or texting. I just miss seeing her in person, then again, it does make the time when we are together a lot more special.

"Your birthday soon" she said more to herself. "We're still going out for that right?"

"Of course" I replied.

"Oh my God you really meant everyone huh?" I said still shocked out how many people were in my Moms backyard.

"San it's your birthday it's gotta be big" Britt said. I noticed she's been acting a little weird though, I'm not sure what's up she just doesn't seem very relaxed.

"Britt" I said as I grabbed her shoulders. "You okay?" I asked. She took a deep breath.

"San, I'm fine. Trust me" she said.

"Good. Now c'mon, dont you wanna spend the day with your girlfriend?" I said.

"If things go to plan then I won't" she smirked.

"Ha ha. Very funny" I joked.

"No San, I'm serious" she said.

"What?" I asked now slightly confused. Why wouldn't she want to spend my birthday with me. She winked over at someone and now everyone was surrounding us. Okay this is kinda creepy now.

"Well, if things work out the way I'm hoping they will then I won't be spending the day with my girlfriend" she said.

"I'm not really getting what you're saying" I said hesitantly.

"Well depending on what you say..." she started as she... got down on one knee. "I'll be spending it with my fiancè" omg omg omg omg omg this is not happening. Holy fucking fuck it is!! "San from the first day I saw you I knew I needed to talk to you. I had no idea why, but I had to. There is something about you that has me hooked in the best way possible. I love you, and I'm never going to stop loving you. Santana Lopez, will you marry me?" She asked. By the time she had said all of this I was now sobbing of happiness. I practically jumped on her and tackled her to the ground, pulling her into a passionate kiss.

"Yes" I breathed out.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Yes!" I cried with the biggest smile on my face.

Everyone around us started clapping as she put the silver ring on my finger.

"Britt I love you so much" I choked out. Damm if someone told me I'd be crying so much then I would've worn waterproof mascara.

"I love you too" she said.

"Forever" I added.

"Forever" she confirmed with a kiss.
