Chapter 20
When Brittany entered the choir room she was very excited, more excited than she could remember. She didn't realize why it truly took her this long to decide because the answer had been in front of her the entire time. She knew for what seemed like forever the perfect choice was in front of her, yet she hesitated. She was scared to mess everything up, scared to make the worse of things, but she realized if she didn't take a risk now she would defiantly mess things up later.
As everyone piled into the choir room Brittany sat on the piano and swung her feet. As Santana and Artie entered she smiled to herself, Mr. Schue entered the room full of glee.
"Brittany, could you take a seat in an actual chair please?"
"Wait, first, I have an announcement to make."
Everyone looked at Brittany but she grew silent.
"Well?" Rachel asked.
"Well, I'd rather sing it. Say it with song, isn't that what you always say Mr. Schue?"
Mr. Schue looked puzzled but nodded.
Brad started the piano as Brittany sat on the piano her head now down looking at her feet.
"I love to hear you say that you love me
With words so sweet
And I love the way with just one whisper
You tell me everything
And when you say those words
It's the sweetest thing I've ever heard
But when your eyes say it
That's when I know that it's true
I feel it
I feel the love coming through
I know it
I know that you truly care for me
'Cause it's there to see
When your eyes say it…"
Brittany looked up into the eyes of her Glee Club members.
"…I love all the ways that you show me
You'll never leave
And the way your kisses, they always convince me…"
She got off of the piano and slowly made her way towards the center of the room.
"…Your feelings run so deep
I love the things you say
And I love the love your touch conveys
But when your eyes say it
That's when I know that it's true
I feel it
I feel the love coming through
I know it
I know that you truly care for me
'Cause it's there to see
When your eyes tell me
I know they're not tellin' lies
They tell me
All that you're feelin' inside
And it sounds so right
When your eyes say it, say it…"
She turned to Artie.
"…And the words that say take my breath away…"
Then to Santana.
"…No song ever sounded so sweet
I love every word that they say to me…"
The piano grew quieter and she turned her attention to just Artie and Santana.
"For two weeks I have been filled with emotions. Such emotions that I honestly didn't understand. I don't think I wanted to understand. Love is supposed to be painless; it's supposed to be fearless. But I had a fear. I had a fear of making a mistake that I would chose the wrong person. I was told that love is always right in front of you, at first I thought they meant my mirror but they meant a certain person. A certain person that would take my breath away without even trying, a certain person who would make me smile with just the sounds of their voice, and a certain person who can make my knees weak by the way they sing. Yes, it was a certain person all along. But how do you show this person you love them? I was beginning to think it was impossible because they have shown their love for me so much. But with loving this person comes the risk of hurting another, because I have to break someone's heart in order to get to someone else's. That's why I was scared. I didn't want to hurt you. But I can't change now; it's all out in the open. And I chose you."
No one knew who she meant her eyes were fixed on both Artie and Santana, until…
"…But when your eyes say it
That's when I know that it's true
I feel it
I feel the love coming through…"
She walked closer…
"…I know it
I know that you truly care for me
'Cause it's there to see
When your eyes tell me…"
She grabbed their hand and let their warm skin touch her own.
"…I know they're not tellin' lies
They tell me
All that you're feelin' inside
And it sounds so right
When your eyes say it…"
The piano grew quiet again and Brittany smiled.
"I chose you, Santana. I chose you."
Santana jumped from her seat and held her tight in her arms trying her best not to let her go.
"You're more than a risk to me." Brittany whispered, "You're my everything."
