Santana had become friends with her new neighbor over the summer. He was older than she was but still he respected her and treated her like his little sister. He had become best Friends with her older brother Sancho. Sancho was twelve years older than she was and their new friend Camden was seventeen. She wasn't always aloud to hang out with them but Camden didn't mind when she did. One week before school started Santana's mother decided it was time get everything she needed for school, while they where out shopping Sancho had decided to hang out at Camden's house for the day since he had 2 weeks before he had to get back to medical school.
When Santana and her mother had come home they where standing in the driveway getting there shopping bags out of the car they hear a gun shot. Santana turns to her mother, "mom that sound like it was really close." Her mother has a strange look on her face one she can't figure out while looking around she says to her daughter, "well we are close to the edge of town it would just be hunters in the woods, lets get inside and put these things away." They get inside and start putting things away when all of a sudden the front door opens and in comes Sancho and Camden's girlfriends Eden and Denise. As Santana and her mother look up they notice both girls have blood all over them, fear quickly sets in and Maribel rushes to both girls while Santana has a sick feel she know what had happened. Maribel grabs a hold of Eden and ask her "where is Sancho at?" Eden just stares blankly at her still in shock. She then turns to Denise and ask her the same thing all Denise can manage is " there is so much blood Maribel help him."
With this Maribel leave the two distraught girls with her daughter and rushes out of the house and next door. What feel like forever trying to calm the two girls down for Santana it was only about ten minutes before she hears sirens. As soon as she hears them tears spring to hear eyes thinking that something has indeed happen to her brother. So she leaves the two girls in the kitchen hanging onto one another and walks to the living room to look out the window for the first time. What she sees shocks her to her bones. As she is looking out the window she sees her only brother being walked to a police car in handcuffs as paramedic walk past into the house. With this she walks up the stairs and into her room.
Once in her room she walks to her window closes the window blinds, walks to her bed and grabs her iPod and turns her music up knowing what had happened with out anyone telling her. She had been in her room for about and hour when her mother walks in and sits on the edge of the bed looking at her with tears in her eyes. Maribel looks to her daughter who had turned her music off and sit up to look at her mother as she proceeds to tell her what happened. "Mija, I need to tell u something and I don't know how." Santana looks to her mother and blurts out "Sancho shot Camden didn't he mamá?" Maribel looks at her daughter, "how did you know when you was here?" Santana drops her head and stares at her comforter and whispers "I looked out the window when i heard the sirens and seen them walking him to the police car."
Maribel sits there not knowing what to say to her daughter for along time, finally she tells her she is right. Santana starts to cry and looks at her mother " mamá whats gonna happen to Sancho now and is Camden dead?" Maribel was expecting this question and tells her daughter, "Sancho was arrested... and Camden was taken to the hospital but it don't look good at all mija." Santana sits there and looks at her mom and ask the one question she didn't want to "why did he shoot him?" Maribel looks at her daughter and tells her "I don't know the whole story mija but we will find out. Your father and I are going to the police station and we will find out everything we can but I don't want you to go down there with us I want you to go to a friends house for the night cause I think we will be down there pretty much all night and I don't want you to be alone tonight. So can you tell me where you want to go?" Santana starts nodding her head thinking of the only person she wants to be with right now and that is her best friends house. She looks to her mother and only says one word "Quinn's."
Santana had packed and over night bag and got ready in 10 minutes. Maribel had called her husband Jose and told him what had happened and that she was taking Santana to Quinn's for the night to meet her at the police station. On the way to Quinn's house Santana turns to her mother, "do they know what happened?" Maribel looks at her daughter and tells her " no mija, Quinn was the one that answered the phone and said you could stay with her. Her parents are out of town on Church function of some sort." Santana sighs in relief that it will only be her best friend because she knows Quinn's parents don't care for her to much. So she sits back in her seat and thinks about how she is gonna tell Quinn what happened and why she is spending the night on such short notice.
As they pull up in the driveway Santana starts getting nervous and teary eyed. Maribel notice and puts her hand on her daughters arm "do you want me to tell her or do you want to go on your own and tell her?" Santana thinks a minute and looks at her mother "I will do it on my own you need to get down to the station with Sancho." With that Santana give her mom a hug and kiss on the cheek and gets out of the car grabbing her bag and walking to the door. As she knocks on the door her mother backs out and leave. After a second the door opens with Quinn standing there looking at her best friend smiling till she sees the look on Santana's face. Quinn pulls Santana in the house and looks at her and ask "San are you ok? You look like you're about to fall apart and cry." With that Santana falls to her knee's right in the hall way and start sobbing. Quinn rushes to her side falling down beside her hugging the girl with everything she has in her. "San what is wrong why are you crying?" Quinn ask the sobbing girl. Santana starts mumbling but not making since to her. So she tries again, "sweetie can you calm down for me please I can't understand what you're saying." With this Santana takes a few deep breaths and looks up into Quinn's confused Hazel eyes, with tears still rolling down her face she just shakes her head and ask "can we go to your room please?" Quinn nods and helps the distraught girl up to her room.
Once in the room and situated on the bed facing each other Santana starts telling Quinn what had happened and why she was there. The whole time she was talking Quinn held her hand and listened. Once she was finished Santana turned to Quinn, "I am gonna lose my only brother and most likely lose one of my closets friends that new things no one did." With this Quinn looks at her and ask "San what do u mean? You will still have your brother and Camden my make it we don't know anything for sure yet." Deciding to leave alone for now the rest of what she had said till San had calmed down more. "Quinn my brother got arrested he will probably end up in prison if Cam dies. So yeah I will lose my brother." Thinking for a minute Quinn relizes that she is right. San decides she is tired and wants to get some sleep so both girls change and lay in bed beside one another. It doesn't take long for Santana to fall sleep and leaving Quinn awake to think. "She said she will lose her brother and she is probably right and if Camden is as bad and she said he was she will lose him to." Taking a deep breath she thinks some more, "what did San mean when she said Cam new things no one did? Has she been hiding things from me? Why didn't she talk to me about those things?" Quinn decides to leave it alone for now and try to rest so she can be there for her best friend. After tossing and turning for what felt like hours Quinn is finally able to fall asleep.
