Be Still My Beating Heart ♡

Hold On My Darling

hey again! i don't want to be one of those people, don't forget to follow and all! this chapter is a little strange, but just go with it. im just doing a bit of story building before i get into the real drama if you get what i mean haha. spoiler alert, but i just wanted to warn you that santana and brit get into a bit of an accident on the lake and i am very much aware thats how our sweet Nay passed away. santana is a true hero and i wanted to write it into my book somewhere, and it wouldn't be part of this book, if brit didn't get into some kind of danger and our brave santana swept in to save the day haha. anyway not to long of an authors note today you will be pleased. im just trying to think if anything exiting happened to me. oh im getting a new laptop which is a touchscreen chromebook tomorrow which is exiting (update, im typing on it now haha) and ill be able to post definitely everyday now even though i'm pretty good with it if i do say so myself hehe. anyway, happy reading! -love always, clementine x

Chapter Five

Santana Lopierce, point of view

we were here. free with our extended glee family in Colorado, on an outdoors pursuit week organised by will and emma. shades on, floppy hat framing my face nicely, luggage in my left hand, brittanys in my right. i really felt like me

"here we are!" will said, rubbing his hands together. "leave your suitcases outside the hotel and get ready for our first group activity! down to the lake everyone!" he called, as everyone whooped in excitement and followed him down to the gritty sand.

the lake was vast and spread around many little secluded corners and deserted islands. there was no civilization for miles and many abandoned woodland trails winding around the lake and islands. we were all dressed accordingly for the summery weather. i was wearing black biker shorts and a coffee cream oversized nike top. my floppy straw hat and large black shades hid my face perfectly so i could stare at brit while mr schue droned on and on about boat safety or something. i'm only kidding i was listening, but i was also staring at brittany. hey, a girl can multitask! Brittany was wearing a vintage style brown floral skirt and sleeveless white top. she had brown suade ankle boots on her feet and a brown knitted jumper round her shoulders keeping her warm.

i felt my iphone 7 buzz in my back pocket and i checked it quickly as will was wrapping up his little boat lesson. it was a message from Neil, brittanys brother who was looking after the twins while we were away. the message read:

"hey santana, i thought id just send you a quick message saying that the twins had a great first night with me. they are just colouring up at the table now and we might go out tp the park later, depends on how tired they are. they are both really missing you but are looking forward to auntie beatrice stopping by later! have an amazing trip and remember to relax. don't worry, ive got this. all the best, Neil Peirce xx"

i smiled and showed brit the text and she smiled too.

"hes so good with kids, i love it! hes the best uncle" britt said smiling

"hes their only uncle haha" i laughed, pointing out that i was an only child

"that is true, but they have two lovely aunties, and technically another aunt and uncle because of Georgia and Shawn Schuester" she pointed out "anyway, come on san we need to grab a boat!"

she pulled me over to this little white motorboat that was left over. everyone else had got into their boats and most had already cruised off into the distance.
