All I Wanted Was Love

Chapter 1

Brittany pulled her jacket closer as she shivered from the cold of the wet, damp street corner that she had been left at. It was just another typical day for Brittany. Her boyfriend had been on one of his drug and alcohol binges again and Brittany had to suffer yet another beating.

People had always told her to leave him, but she was always stubborn. There was still a part of her thinking that he would transport back into the guy that she fell in love with and not some monster who was hooked on any substance he could find. But that day hadn't came yet. Brittany was starting to wonder if it ever would.

She had had faith in him and he had repaid her by beating the living shit out of her and leaving her out there for dead just because she had the nerve to insist that maybe he should slow down on the drugs so they could have a real life together. He had laughed at her and had hit her with his fist saying that all she was to him was trash that hadn't finished her college degree and that he could never have a life with a girl that was going nowhere.

Brittany felt the tears flow down her cheeks as she snuggled in closer to her jacket. He had beat her so bad that she couldn't mood. She could only imagine what she must look like right now. It had seemed like forever until someone had finally found her.

She opened her eyes to see a guy who was around her age with the kindest blue eyes she had ever seen. It was nice to see someone who looked safe even if he wasn't. A guy who had to be around his age stood behind him. The two guys seemed as if they were actually together, but Brittany didn't judge. Love was love no matter what. She coughed only to see that she had pulled back a hand full of blood. She must have been dying that was the only explanation.

"Please help me." She cried before everything went black.

Brittany was awoken several hours later in a strange place that didn't look like a hospital. She took a sharp breath and sat up fighting off her bodies protest. Where the hell was she?

She turned her head and was shocked to see the two men who had helped her on the street corner and a woman that made her entire world stop. The woman had nicely tanned skin and dark black eyes. She was the most beautiful and attractive girl that Brittany had ever seen. She couldn't explain why her heart had beat so fast when she saw her, but every instinct in Brittany's body stated that she had to know her, but first she had to ask them a few questions.

"Where am I? Why am I not in the hospital?" she asked looking more at the two guys than at this lovely exotic woman.

"Let me first start off with introduction. I'm Blaine. This is my husband Kurt. And our friend Santana. We found you in a very bad condition out on a street corner. We would have taken you to the hospital, but you insisted that we didn't. So we brought you here, because we knew that our friend Santana was a nurse and if you refused to go to the hospital then she could at least help you."

Brittany nodded not willing to argue with Blaine's explanation. After all she had always hated hospitals, so it didn't really surprise her that she had asked to be brought somewhere else. She rested back on the couch and closed her eyes in pain. Her body still hurt all over, but at least she wasn't out on the streets anymore. She just needed to rest up for a night or two then she could go back to her boyfriend and apologize for whatever she did. She had to unless she wanted to live out on the streets.

Santana sighed and walked over to Brittany from where she was sitting. Brittany looked into her eyes as Santana kneeled down in front of her and rested her hand on her forehead.

"Your fever finally broke, but if I'm going to help you any further I need you to tell me what actually happened. You don't have to feel afraid anymore. You're safe."

Usually Brittany didn't trust people very easily, but looking at Santana now she had a distinct feeling that she could. She gave Santana a smile and took a deep breath.

"I just had an argument with my boyfriend that's all. He got a little too violent and he left me on the streets to learn my lesson. I deserved it really."

Santana took Brittany's hand and she looked into those deep brown eyes surprised at how well they kept her there. It was entrancing.

"Listen to me. You do not deserve anything this guy did to you. You deserve a man who treats you with respect and dignity. You deserve more."

"I really don't want to hear this. I'm really tired and all I want is sleep. Can we talk about this in the morning?"

"Yes we can, but we will be talking about this."

Brittany nodded and closed her eyes. She just hoped that in the end everything would work out.
