*on the way home Brittany decided to put on their playlist because its all the songs that her and Santana love. Britt is hoping that it will cheer san up and she will start dancing and singing like she usually does. the 3 songs that they listened to were "perfect by ed Sheeran" "tik tok by Kesha" And "dance with somebody by Whitney Houston"! ...Santana didn't sing or dance to any of them*
*when Brittany got into the driveway Santana had her hood up and was facing away from her.Brittany just got out the car and went round to open Santana's door like Britt usually does. When She opened the door she saw san was awake then when Santana looked up at her, Brittany noticed that san had tears in her eyes and redness on her cheeks from the tears*
Brittany: *got down on her knees to be at eye level. Santana still wasn't saying anything and just stared into Brittany's eyes. Brittany starts speaking to her softly, trying not to upset her even more* ...you've been thinking about your mum again, haven you? *looks into Santana's eyes. Santana didn't speak because she was all choked up from crying so she just nods her head and closes her eyes trying to hold back the tears*
Brittany: baby... *Santana opens her eyes to look at Brittany* she's going to be fine, i promise! She just needs to rest *kisses san, tasting the saltiness of her tears that reached down to her lips. Santana just nods her head and looks down, fidgeting with her hands*
Brittany: come on... *reaches her hand out to grab hold of Santana's* let's get you inside *Santana gets up and rests her head on Britt's shoulder, all the way into the house*
Meredith: *heard the girls come in the. Brittany was undoing Santana's shoes for her then Brittany took her jacket and shoes off* hey girls, dinner will be ready in 5 minutes *looks over and saw Santana lay down on the couch then Brittany was sat on the edge of the couch talking to her quietly. Britt kissed san on the head then came into the kitchen*
Brittany: hey mum! *smiles at her mum acting like there was nothing going on that Meredith should be worried about*
Meredith: hey honey! How was the walk? *stood up and walked away from the oven to go and stand closer to Brittany and talk*
Brittany: well, we ended up inviting Quinn to have a hot chocolate at the cafe and were so busy chatting that we ran out of time to go for a walk. But neither of us were bothered *gets two glasses out of the cupboard*
Meredith: ah ok, how is Quinn doing anyway?
Brittany: shes doing good! She was just saying that she already misses not being able to go to school and see me and san everyday *laughs because it's only been a day since graduation*
Meredith: glad to hear she is doing alright. Also tell her that she is always welcome to come here and see you girls. *Brittany turns to smile at her mum then she went back to pouring herself and Santana some fizzy juice*
Brittany: will do! Thanks mum *takes the 2 glasses and goes back over to the couch to give san her drink and cuddle up to her*
Meredith: *saw the girls cuddled up on the couch and she just remembered that she had a chat with Valerie about tomorrow* girls... great news! *walks over to stand behind the couch, looking down at the girls. Brittany lifted her head up to look at her mum while san just stayed laying against Brittany's chest, with her hood still up and her eyes closed*
Meredith: i was having a chat on the phone with Valerie and she is more than happy for the 3 of us to go in and visit her tomorrow. *smiles at Brittany then looks to see san open her eyes and turn her head to look up at Meredith*
Santana: really? *smiles weakly at Meredith*
Meredith: yep! I was thinking we could go in at lunchtime and take her a lovely meal... how does that sound?
Santana: cant wait *smiles at Meredith then goes back to her previous cuddling position as Brittany looks up at her mum and the 2 of them smile at each other once more. Then Meredith walked away to go back in the kitchen and check on the lasagne she is cooking for their dinner*
*Sunday morning around 3:25am. Santana wakes up from her first nightmare in weeks. This one is different than anything she has ever experienced because she actually woke up screaming and crying. Luckily for san, Brittany has always been a light sleeper so she woke up within seconds and held Santana in her arms without saying anything. They just sat there as san cried while Brittany did her best to calm Santana down*
Brittany: *still completely unaware of what the nightmare was this time. She didn't ask questions so she just sat there holding san in her arms and spoke to her, hoping it will help* its ok! ...I'm right here! *brushes her fingers through Santana's hair*
*Brittany must have gotten it from her mum because Meredith also managed to wake up really quickly from the screaming. She quickly threw on her dressing gown and went through to Brittany's room. When she opens the door she just looks to see that Brittany is trying to smooth Santana and stop her from crying. Sadly Brittany's ways of calming Santana just wasn't doing anything. Santana was crying so much that she couldn't really hear Brittany. because her breathing had become so out of control that she was practically hyperventilating.
Brittany: *started to get worried about Santana because Brittany has never seen her this upset before* baby... breathe... everything is ok... *the whole time Brittany was speaking to san, she was rubbing her back trying to soothe her*
*Meredith wasn't really sure what to do either. so she just did the one thing she always does whenever Brittany gets upset about something. She went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, while Brittany continued to calm Santana down the best she could*
Meredith: here you go *gives the glass of water to Brittany to hold while san calms herself enough to drink some*
*Brittany continues brushing her fingers through sans hair as san cuddles up to Britt. Santana is still shaking like a leaf and has her eyes shut tight while holding onto Brittany. but after 5 minutes she calms her breathing, almost back to normal*
*the entire time that the girls had been awake. They hadn't spoken a word to each other. So they were just sat in silence and all that was heard was Santana crying*
Brittany: baby... do you think you could take a sip of this water for me?
*Brittany watches as Santana slowly takes the glass. San takes a sip of water then lays her head on Brittany's shoulder, as Brittany wraps her arms around Santana's waist and just sits there in silence for a little while longer*
Meredith: do you need anything honey or have you got it from here *looks at Brittany as Santana is laying on Brittany's shoulder with her eyes closed and is taking deep breathes to calm herself down*
Brittany: its all good! Thanks mum *looks to her mum and smiles*
Meredith: alright! Ill see you girls in the morning. goodnight *smiles then walks back to her room, falling back asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow*
*another 5 minutes has went by and Santana seems to be back to normal with her breathing*
Brittany: *kisses san on the forehead* you finished with your water babe or would you like to drink whats left of it?
Santana: *looks down at her glass and see's that its still half full* I'm finished with it *hands the glass to Brittany*
Brittany: do you wanna talk or are you just wanting to go back to sleep?
Santana: i don't know... i don't think ill be able to sleep!
Brittany: ok! How about we just lay down and relax
Santana: ok
*as they lay down, Brittany reached to the bedside table to check and see what time it is. Then she turned back around to face Santana. San was cuddled up to Brittany holding onto her tight while Brittany rested on her left arm and rubbed Santana's arm soothingly with her right hand. after what felt like an eternity, Brittany saw that Santana had started to fall asleep. Britt leaned forward and kissed her on the head then lay her head on the pillow and fell asleep*
