I felt like I needed to write this. Santana is my hero right now. I don't know how she didn't completely lose it during the song she sang with Brittany and Holly. This takes place after Santana confesses her love for Brittany. Hope you enjoy! Read and Review.

Warning: Contains Slash and Spoilers for episode 2x15. Karofsky may seem out of character but this is how I interpret him when he's not hiding his real self. And I really really do not like Sam with Santana I think that her bitchyness could turn him into a not very likable character. So he's not a very nice guy in this chapter. Just read you'll know what I'm talking about. Contains cuss words and some violence.

Summary: Santana couldn't imagine a life without being with Brittany. When an unlikely person (Karofsky) offers to help her get Brittany back and Karofsky gets help with his love life. Future Brittana and Puckofsky, slash don't like don't read.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character's all I own is my idea. The credit goes to the brilliant Ryan Murphy.

Karofsky was walking in the halls during class trying to get away from math when he heard sobbing coming from the choir room. Karofsky knocked on the door. He walked in and saw Santana sitting at the piano bench eyes red and puffy.

"What the hell do you want, Karofsky?" Santana asks sniffling. Karofsky put his hands in his pockets. He walked over to Santana and sat next to her.

"Are you okay?" Karofsky asks.

"What does it look like?" Santana asks. Karofsky frowned.

"What's wrong?" Karofsky asks.

"It doesn't matter." Santana says.

"Of course it does. You can tell me you know." Karofsky tells her.

"You're the one who made Kurt leave." Santana reminds him. Karofsky sighed.

"Yeah well…" Karofsky couldn't finish. He slumped his head.

"I'm sorry. It's just…love fucking sucks." Santana says.

"Yeah. I know what you mean." Karofsky says. He looked her in the eyes. I can tell her right? Karofsky thought. "Can I tell you something? You have to promise you won't say anything."

"Yeah. I won't tell anyone." Santana says.

"I think…I think I may be gay…" Karofsky says, "Or maybe…bi…" Santana was shocked. A guy like Karofsky…gay? Santana nodded to him.

"I just came out to Brittany." Santana says, "God, I love her so much…and now…because of Artie we can't be together." Santana started to cry again. Karofsky didn't know what to do. He started to play Blink 182s classic All the Small Things.

"This song always gets me through the rough days." Karofsky says. Meanwhile Will was walking in the hall. He had a free period so he was heading to the choir room to get ready for glee rehearsals. He stopped at the door when he saw Dave Karofsky and Santana sitting at the piano. Karofsky started singing:

All the, small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take, one lift
Your ride, best trip

Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, Na...

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, Na...

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, my little
redmill
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, the night will
go on, my little redmill

Will walked in and clapped.

"Wow…that was really good." Will says, "Why don't you join Glee club?" Santana smiled at Karofsky. Karofsky shrugged.

"Okay. I guess." Karofsky says. Will smiled.

"I'll see you guys in an hour then." Will tells them.

"An hour?" Karofsky asks, but Will was already out the door. "What am I going to sing? What if they hate my singing?" Santana chuckled.

"Trust me; I was freaked out when I had to sing in front of the guys at first too. Come on. We'll go to the auditorium and practice." Santana told him. They made their way to the auditorium.

"Thanks, Santana." Karofsky says.

"No problem. Have…have you told your parents yet?" Santana asks.

"My mom, she knows…I…my dad…he would probably beat the crap out of me if he ever found out." Karofsky says. Santana nodded.

"Aren't you skipping class?" Santana asks. Karofsky laughed.

"Math. I say we get Brittany to realize that she loves you more than Artie." Karofsky says.

"And you with Kurt." Santana says. Karofsky shakes his head no.

"I don't really like him…I…I like…Puck." Karofsky confessed. Santana laughed. Karofsky frowned.

"I guess we could try with Puck. Who else do you like?" Santana asks.

"I like Sam…Blaine, Kurt's new friend…heh," Karofsky stopped embarrassed, "I…kinda like Mr. Schau too." Santana nodded. She opened the door to the auditorium and walked in. Karofsky followed after.

"I think you'll sound good with a slow rock song. Like Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls." Santana tells him.

"I love that song! It sums up what I've been going through." Karofsky says.

"Do you know it well enough to sing it?" Santana asks. Karofsky nodded obviously nervous. "Look the trick is to sing to someone. Anyone…even Puck just, don't make it obvious. Just pretend you're alone in your bedroom. Don't look at anyone. You'll do fine." Santana tells him. Karofsky nodded.

Glee Rehearsals:

The glee kids walked into the auditorium laughing goofing off with each other. Will walked in.

"We have a new member. Give a warm welcome to Dave Karofsky." Mr. Schau says.

"What? You're allowing him to join? He's the one that made Kurt leave in the first place!" Mercedes yelled.

"Yeah!" Rachel agreed.

"Guys, we need new people. Give him a chance. I think you'll be surprised." Mr. Schau says. Karofsky came from backstage. He gave a little wave to Santana. She smiled and nodded to him. He took a deep breath and nodded to Brad the piano player.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Santana stood up and clapped. Then one right after the other the glee clubbers did too. Karofsky smiled. The glee club practiced for another hour before they had to go home. Santana had decided that she had to break it off with Sam before the plot to get Brittany back was in full swing. Karofsky came up to Santana and slipped her a piece of paper right in front of Sam. Sam approached Santana.

"What was that all about?" Sam asks.

"Oh…nothing." Santana says. Sam grabbed the piece of paper from Santana. He opened it and read what it said.

Thanks for helping me out, Santana I really appreciate it. Here's my phone number. Let's get together sometime and hang out again? Thanks again.

Karofsky

"Oh that's nice…when the hell did you hang out?" Sam asks jealously.

"Just this afternoon. It's not a big deal." Santana says nonchalantly.

"Not a big deal? I'm your boyfriend!" Sam yelled.

"Yeah well not anymore!" Santana yells into Sam's face.

"You're breaking up with me?" Sam asks.

"Yeah!" Santana yelled at him. She was on the verge of tears again. She started to walk away when Sam grabbed her by the arm. "Get off of me!"

"You can't break up with me." Sam tells her.

"Well guess what? I just did!" Santana says.

"You bitch!" Sam yelled. He slapped Santana hard on the face. Mr. Schau and Beiste were walking past the auditorium when they heard an angry screech coming from the auditorium. Santana was on the stage on top of Sam. Sam was on his stomach with his hand behind his back. Beiste came and pulled Santana off of him.

"Asshole. Hit me again! Do it!" Santana yells trying to tackle him.

"Sam? Did you hit her?" Mr. Schau asks. Sam nodded shamefully, "Santana, has he done this before?"

"No." Santana says. She sighed and grabbed her book bag. "Sorry, Mr. Schau I have to get home. I'll see you, Monday?" Mr. Schau nodded. Santana bent over and grabbed the note Karofsky had written. She walked out of the building sobbing again for the third time that day. She drove home and got inside the house.

"Where have you been, Santana Lopez?" Her mother asks, "What happened?" Her mother came over to Santana and saw her bruised face.

"Soy fino, la Mamá (I'm fine, Mom)." Santana told her mother.

"Here…put this on. Dinner will be ready in a little while." Santana's mother hands Santana a bag of ice. Santana went upstairs to her room. She put her book bag down. She pulled out her phone and texted Karofsky. Meanwhile with Karofsky:

"You did what?" Karofsky's dad screams at him, "You are supposed to be focused on football and now you…you join glee club? Don't you know that's for gay boys who don't have a life?"

"I don't care. I love to sing and dance. I'm staying in it." Karofsky says.

"Everybody is going to think my son is gay." His dad says. Karofsky was getting mad, "I cannot…I will not let you throw away your reputation! You are quitting glee club! And you are going to focus on what's important."

"Football?" Karofsky yells, "Football isn't important to me! I could care less about fucking football! I'm not you, dad!"

"So you'd rather be a fag?" Karofsky's dad asks. Karofsky was at his last end. He exploded.

"I AM A FAG!" Karofsky screamed as he punched the wall.

"What was that?" Karofsky's dad asks shocked. Dave was screwed now.

"You heard me…I'm gay." Karofsky says. Karofsky's dad pushed his son into the wall.

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" Karofsky's dad screamed at his son. Karofsky ran upstairs to pack his things. After 10 minutes he was out the door. Karofsky pulled out his phone. It said New Text Msg:

Hey it's Santana. Didn't know if you knew my number. What's up?

He called his mom who lived 6 blocks away.

"Hey, Mom…Dad just kicked me out." Karofsky says trying to keep his composure.

"Well…get your ass over here." Karofsky's mom says. Karofsky jumped into his truck and drove to his mother's house. He got inside and broke down completely. "Dave? Dave, it'll be okay. I'm here." He calmed down after 5 minutes in his mother's arms. He looked up at her and smiled. "You're welcome, baby. And it's okay. Every son wants to live with his father." Karofsky laughed. He got his stuff and went to his room. He pulled out his phone (A/N Bold and italics are Karofsky's texts and just italics are Santana's).

My dad just found out about me.

Man that totally sucks! What happened?

I got kicked out. I'm at my mom's now. I'm pretty sure she's giving my dad crap right now. Lol.

OMG! You got kicked out? Man that really sucks. Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm cool. Just glad my mom's here. So what's up with you?

NM…just is putting ice on my cheek.

What? Why? What happened?

Sam slapped me. But it's okay cuz I totally beat the shit out of him.

That asshole! I'll kill him for you!

Nah, it's cool. I just hope it'll be gone by Monday. I can't deal with a bruised face.

Lol, why?

Because everybody is going to ask me what happened. And I'll have to lie.

I see. I forgot to ask does your mom know that your bi?

Yeah she does. We tell each other everything. I mean she's all I have, my dad left when I was 5.

Oh, sorry. My parents divorced when I was 10. On my birthday too.

Man we are just full of sob stories aren't we?

LMAO, yeah we are. Well I have to go eat dinner. I'll text you after I'm done.

K later.

After dinner:

Hey, Santana.

Hey, Karofsky. We're going to have to come up with nicknames for each other. Lol.

Yeah I agree. How about SL?

Lol that's cool but how about something more unique? For you I'm thinking Sprman.

?

Lol. Superman. Duh!

Oh I get it now. How about TAN?

Tan? Seriously? WTF?

ROTFL, no not tan. It stands for Tough as Nails. Meaning you can take anything and are still tough. I mean you got slapped by a guy and you beat the shit out of him.

Yeah that's true I like it. So I'll just say Spr. I mean you get what I'm saying right?

Yeah totally. Lol. I'm on Sam's Facebook. He's whining about you breaking up with him. Wait…he says that you left him for me?

Shit! Hold on let me get on.

OMG! That little prick! God I'm going to kill him on Monday. I mean first he slaps me and now he's spreading rumors about me.

Just tells you he's not a man. He can't take rejection.

I mean what does he expect? I'm his rebound and he's mine. It's not like it was going to work out.

Damn you're mean…maybe I should nickname you RB. Ruthless Bitch. JK…jk

Ha-ha! :p

Wow…Santana.

What?

Just read your reply. Lol. (Reply: Yeah well he's more of a man then you'll ever be. And for the record I did not leave you for him. And btw real men don't slap girls. You might as well have a vagina.)

Lol did you like it?

Loved it!

Lol awesome. So are you going to come out at school too? Or are you going to stay in the closet?

I will if you will.

Lol, deal!

You first! :D

Lol okay. I'll go first. And just for the record. I'd say that your bi because you don't know exactly what you are yet.

I don't like girls, I'm pretty sure I'm gay.

Yeah, but you'll get less ridicule that way.

I'm not going to hide anymore. And yeah I might lose all my friends but I still have you guys…or you really.

Let them get to know you first they'll start to love you.

Even Puck?

Even Puck. But I'm pretty sure before you can get into their good graces you'll have to apologize to Kurt.

Figured. Idk how though. Idk why I behaved the way I did.

You were scared. You wanted someone to know and Kurt was the only guy that you know that is gay.

Lol okay miss know it all. :D love you! Will you come with me when I do?

We will all go with you probably. So you'll have lots of morale support and maybe he'll even leave that stupid school he's in now and come back to McKinley.

Yeah. Well I should get to bed. For some reason I'm really tired.

You went through a lot today. Lol.

Night. The getting Brittany back into your arms officially starts Monday. We'll talk more about it tomorrow and Sunday. TTYL. Love you.

Ly2, Night.
