"Why don't you just come out of the closet?" It felt like someone just punched her into the gut, forcing all the air out of her lungs. She stopped. He came closer and spit his words out. She couldn't understand him but she knew what he was saying. Everybody's gonna know now. Everybody. She gasped. The pupils surrounding them began to whisper. They looked expectantly at her. She should deny it. Laugh. Or maybe insult him so maybe he didn't know anymore his whereabouts. She turned around but stopped. Wait. Wasn't this the whole insulting thing the reason why she was in this situation? He starred at her as to say: 'Go ahead. No matter what you are going to say, I win.' She felt herself tearing up. No. Not in the hallway in front of everybody.

She walked away as fast as she could, almost running. When she arrived at the bathroom she pushed the giggling girls out. They wanted to protest but then they saw it was her. No one messed with her. She locked herself in a stall and began to cry. Her parents. Her abuela. Her future boss. They'll all know. What should she do? She knew what had happened to Kurt was bad but there is even worse gay-bashing. Jobs she wouldn't be getting. Weird look they'll give her as soon as they know who she was. Her kids could get beaten up because they have two mothers. She would have come out eventually. But not now. Not in High School. The most people in here she would never see again. And honestly: She was happy about it. But now? She had to live almost another year in Lima. Ohio isn't the gay-friendliest place in the country. Hell, she didn't wanna know what Berry's parents had been put through. Oh god. Her parents. What were they going to do? They weren't totally Conservative but they believed in God and went to church every Sunday and never said a good thing about the Berry-family. What if they were going to throw her out? What was she supposed to do? She had no other place to sleep. And all because of him. Why was he so dumb? Maybe she said enough but you don't just out somebody. In the hallway. Full of people. Never. And it wasn't only herself he hurt. He outed Britt. Her parents didn't know yet. They were friendly and all but also not very 'proud'. Couldn't he thought for only like a second before talking? She started to sob again when suddenly the door opened and somebody entered. "Go out!" Her voice sounded like crap. The person knocked on the stall door. "San, it's me, Brittany. Quinn told me what happened. Please open." Santana obeyed and fell into Brittany's open arms. "I love you." She said and nuzzled her face into Brittany's shoulder. "I love you too. And I am so, so deeply sorry for what he did. I will stand by you. No matter what they'll say." "But he outed you too. What.. what if they won't accept it?" "Then they won't. It's gonna be alright. I promise."
