Knocked Up

Chapter 39

"What?" Artie asked.

"I said I think we should break up." Brittany repeats.

Artie looked at Brittany before laughing.

"That's...that's really funny babe. Come on we got class." Artie said before turning away from Brittany.

"I'm not kidding." Brittany said. Artie stops and slowly turns back to Brittany. "Artie, I really care about you. A lot. And I always thought you were like super sweet, but lately you've been like really mean to me and that's not cool. I tried to give you a chance hoping you might change or something, but you didn't. Also I can't really place the blame all on you, because honestly, I haven't really been into this relationship that much either. I don't think it's right, so I think it's better if we both end it now." Brittany said confidently before turning to walk away. Artie sat there stunned for a moment.

"It's about Santana isn't it?" Artie calls out.

Brittany stops. Artie let's out a humorless chuckle.

"I knew it. I knew sooner or later she was gonna suck you in." Artie sneered.

"Suck me in?" Brittany asks confused.

"She doesn't really want you Brittany. She doesn't care about you. She just wants in your pants." Artie ignored her question. "Why don't you quite being such an idiot and realize that she's just playing you."

"Hey!" they heard a shout. They turned and saw Santana walking towards them.

"What did you just call her?" Santana hisses

Artie cowards a little in his chair, which mentally brought a smile to Santana's face.

"San, it's cool..." Brittany tries to calm Santana down.

"No it's not, Britt" Santana said

"San, I got this."

"But Britt..." Santana tries.

"I got it, San." Brittany said sternly.

Santana looked at Brittany, and saw that she meant business. Brittany then turned her attention back to Artie.

"Artie..." Brittany starts calmly. "When we first started going out, I thought you were a really nice guy and that maybe I could see myself falling in love with you." Artie shoots Santana a smug look, but it faded a little when Santana shot him a glare of her own. "And for a while I thought I did, but truth is I wasn't. I tried to fool myself into thinking that maybe I could, maybe I would fall in love with you, and I tried to stay with you maybe hoping that one day that I would, but then you started acting like a real jerk to me..." that wipe the smug look clean off of Artie's face. "You did a complete 360 on me..."

"Uh Britt...it's 180." Santana says

"Oh yea, right...180. You were a jerk, you made me feel like an idiot and you kept calling me names. A boyfriend isn't suppose to do that." Artie looks down a little ashamed. "And you say that Santana's only trying to get in my pants. But the truth is, she's done more for me and made me feel better than you have in the entire year that we've dated. She makes me happy and she doesn't make me feel like an idiot." Brittany takes a breather. "I'm sorry, but it's over Artie. We're done." Brittany says before walking away. Santana takes one more look (shoots a glare) at Artie before jogging after Brittany.

"Hey Britt!" Santana calls out.

Brittany stops walking and turn around to Santana. Santana is a little shocked at what she sees. Or rather what she doesn't see. She expected to see sadness, heartbreak, maybe a few tears. I mean jerk or not, she was with the guy for about a year. She had to feel some kind of love for him right. But instead she sees relief, maybe a little happiness. Well not that happy, but she does look like there is a huge weight off of her shoulders. Now she wasn't necessarily smiling, but she wasn't pouting or frowning either.
