Turn Around Bright Eyes [8/9]
Chapter 8: Sunshine
A/N: I'm watching Glee. I still don't think that Artie should've compared her stutter to his wheelchair o_o and I still think he over reacted to the whole thing xD Wheels is one of my favourite episodes :) Probably my fave. Anyway... I'm glad you're enjoying it!!

The warmth of the sun's rays woke up Brittany and she felt this fire in her heart that was lost the day before. But when she realized that the warmth in her arms were gone, she suddenly couldn't remember how to get up. She squirmed in bed, rolling over a piece of paper.
"Hmm?"
She took it and opened it up, staring at it's contents. It took her a moment to properly read it, she was a little slow. Although she was unable to understand the writing right away, she immediately recognized the font.
Santana had really nice hand writing.
She began to read it out loud to herself, just to make things easier.
"Hey B," she started, responding right away, "Hey San..." She shook her head to get back to reality.
"I'm sorry I've been such a bitch. Actually, no I'm never sorry about that. I'm sorry I was such a coward. I will admit, I was scared, and I don't knnow what could happen if we went through with this. You know I would never hurt you, you know I need you in my life. And god you know I love you."
Brittany took in a sharp breath, she really wished that she could've said it in person.
"I know I should've told you this when you woke up. I know I should've been there to see the sunlight bouncing off your hair like it always does. But I had to go. One, my parents didn't know I was over, and two, I needed to wake up on my own and tell myself that I could do this. So, I'll see you later Brit. Hold on and don't get lost, you know I'll always be there so don't worry. Oh and throw this out as soon as you read it, if anyone finds it, then I will never be taken seriously again. We can't rule the school if everyone thinks I broke soft."
The blonde laughed at the last comment, of course through the moisture that was developed in her eyes. She would never throw this note out. It was perfect blackmail.
"Brittany! You're going to be late!"
The blonde tucked the note away in her drawer and quickly got ready for school. The promise of seeing Santana guided her way, but she still managed to forget her towel when she went for a shower.

When the two reached Rachel's house, Quinn was a little scared but enlightened by how much Rachel's dads reminded her of ...well, Rachel.
"She could have the guest's room!" the three exclaimed at once, and happily prepared everything for the blonde.
Quinn sat comfortably on the couch and watched as they ran around the house. Now she never had any experience with homosexuals, aside from Kurt of course, and this was something refreshing to say the least. At least she could tell that they really loved each other. It must have been hard to get to where they are. And it must be hard having to deal with Rachel. Oh, yeah, they made her like that.
"Ready!" exclaimed Rachel, pulling on Quinn's arm. She felt a little strange with the girl being so touchy, but she was just being friendly, it was fine.
"I'm tired," the blonde exclaimed, landing comfortably on the bed. She was happy to be on a bed again, and in such a nice (but tacky) room. Rachel didn't respond but made sure that Quinn was tucked in and comfortable.
She whispered goodnight and closed the door behind her, feeling this strange excitement in the pit of her stomach. Quinn stared at the ceiling in silence and gratitude and wondered what would happen the morning after. But then again, the comfort of the bed kinda stole away the feeling. She had to remember to thank Rachel and her parents the next morning.

Santana sat in bed, her parents didn't really mind her sleeping over at Brittany's although they did lecture her on calling first. She thought of the letter she wrote to Brittany and hoped to God that she didn't use words that were not included in her vocabulary. And she stared and stared until it still did nothing for her 10 minutes later.
She said she'd be brave and that she'd find herself and do this with confidence.
Afterall, she was Santana Lopez, fierce bitch and the next head cheerleader. Nothing would stand in her way. She wonders why she didn't just think like that from the beginning. ANd she promised, if anyone made fun of her or Brittany for it, she'd kick their asses in a second.
