Everyone but Santana was in the choir room. Mr. Schue had just walked in, it had been difficult for Santana the past few weeks since she had been outed. After she had slapped Finn she missed the next day of school. When she came back her face was red, puffy and she had a black eye. They had all been supportive and Santana had changed. So quickly she had become the person that only Brittany had ever seen before, sure she still made snide comments but they were no where near as mean as they had been before. Perhaps the most shocking thing had been that the first thing she did when returning she apologized to Finn for slapping him, he was so caught off guard that he hugged her and was even more surprised when she returned the embrace. But today she was late and they were all curios as to why, especially Brittany.

"Brittany, where is Santana?" Mr. Schue asked the blonde. Before she could answer Santana entered the room. They all looked at her in shock.

Santana had fresh bruising around one eye, and her hair was pulled into a loose ponytail. She wore sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt. They were all taken aback by her look, and it took them a minute to notice that Santana had clearly been crying.

"Santana what's wrong?" Will asked concerned.

"I have some bad news." she said, she looked at Brittany who was staring at her intensely. "My parents are sending me to live with my aunt, in New Hampshire. They are taking away all of my means of communication. I am to live with her until I turn 18 and then I am to be left to live on my own. They said that they don't want demon spawn like me living under their roof and that maybe my aunt can straighten me out, no pun intended. My aunt has agreed to everything." Santana said.

The reactions were worse than she imagined. Several of the Glee Club members offered up their houses guest bedrooms or basements. They were all disgusted at the words of her parents and what they were making Santana do. They were outraged that she was being made move to a different state, outraged that she had been hit again, and they were all so sad that she would be leaving. No matter how bad she had been to them she had always been there and also they were a family.

"When do you leave?" Brittany asked speaking up for the first time. She looked extremely upset.

Santana took a deep breath before answering her girlfriends question. "Tonight."

"Tonight! What?" Brittany said loudly and angrily.

"I'm sorry, B. The day I turn 18 I will be right back here for you. I don't want to go, but I don't have a choice." Santana said rooted in the spot, she felt so much worse than she had minutes ago when she looked at Brittany's face.

Brittany got out of her chair. The room fell silent as the blonde looked at Santana and walked up to her. Brittany threw her arms around the brunette and hugged her tightly. Santana returned the hug and began to cry. After a minute Tina joined in, then Quinn, Puck, Mike, Kurt and eventually the stood there in a huge group hug. Santana finally extracted herself and noticed that there was not a dry in the room. She hadn't ever believed what Brittany said about the Glee Club being a family until now, right in this moment she knew that Brittany had been right.

"Santana, I am so sorry." Mr. Schue said. "This is so unfair and I want you to know that as soon as you can make it back I will be here if you need anything. I am also going to give you my email. I know from what you said that your communication will be censored but if you find someone at your new school who will let you send an email you can send them to me and I'll give them to whoever." he said throwing a knowing glance at Brittany.

"Thanks Mr. Schue, I really appreciate it." Santana said handing her a piece of paper.

"I hate this. But I told my parents I was getting snacks for the plane so I have to go. I love you all, and I will see you all when I am 18, I will try my best to send emails as often as I can. Good luck with everything." Santana said tears streaming down her face.

She hugged Mr. Schue first after stuffing the paper with his email in safely in her pocket. After she hugged Rory, he was surprised but returned the hug. Finn was next Santana hugged him tightly and whispered "thank you" in his ear, leaving him with a confused look. She hugged Artie, then Blaine and Mike. She hugged Rachel and Mercedes, Kurt and Puck. She hugged Tina and then Quinn. Brittany was the only one left.

"Britt, walk with me to my car?" Santana asked, Brittany simply nodded. "Goodbye, I love you guys!"

Santana grabbed Brittany's hand as the two exited the room of crying New Directions. They were silent until they made it to Santana's car. Brittany dropped her hand, Santana opened her mouth to say something but Brittany caught her off guard and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Santana was not expecting it but responded with much enthusiasm. When Brittany pulled away Santana smiled.

"Santana, I don't want you to leave."

"I don't want to leave B. But I will be back the day after I turn 18 I promise." Santana said taking Brittany's hand, she knew that she really didn't have much time.

"San, your birthday isn't until June 17th. School will be done, Nationals will be over. High school will be over!" Brittany said sadly.

"B! I don't want to do this. I will wait for you, can you do that? Can you wait for me?" Santana asked seriously.

"Of course I will wait for you."

"B...I have to go now. I love you so much." Santana said pulling her in for one last kiss. When she pulled away she stood there in Brittany's arms for a few moments.

"I love you too, Santana." Brittany said. She didn't cry as she watched Santana get in the drivers side of her car. She didn't cry as Santana gave a sad wave in her direction. She didn't cry as the car finally disappeared from her line of sight. She didn't cry as she walked slowly back into the school and down the hall to the choir room. Brittany Pierce didn't cry until she reached the room, once there she let it all out and let herself be comforted by her friends. She cried for hours. Tina and Mike drove her home, brought her into her house and explained everything to her parents. Brittany's father brought her upstairs to her bedroom where she cried herself to sleep that night. She was unaware that Santana was doing the exact same thing aboard a plane to New Hampshire.

So what did you think? Continue, yes/no? I think this will alternate between Santana, Brittany and New Directions. It will go at least up until Santana's birthday. Review!
