Santana's life wasn't easy. She grew up with her mom, her stepfather and her two siblings, Hugo and Maria. Her dad left her with her mom when she wasn't even born. Her parents relationship was something that she never understood. They were so different from each other. Her mom was a dedicated person with a strong personality, a very serious façade and not a good sense of humor. On the other hand her father was someone who enjoyed a good joke, very optimistic and carefree.

Her mother met her stepfather when she was five years old. He was her neighbor and he was after her mom for a long time before she said yes to him. He was a good man and Santana's mom wanted her daughter to have a male figure in her life so she accepted him as her husband after two years of romance. Almost immediately Santana's brother, Hugo, was born and almost one year later her sister, Maria, came to the world. She was a very good sister to them and all three of them were raised with good values and in a good and loving home.

Santana was gay. She knew it since she was in middle school and had a crush on her best friend. Her sexuality wasn't something that she was happy to talk about because some things were taboo in her family, sexuality one of them. She knew that she was felling an attraction towards other females in her class but took it as nothing serious. She had a bunch of boyfriends, if you want to call them that, but nothing serious. She had curiosity and wanted to know how relationships between two girls worked.

She met Brittany when she was nineteen years old. She was in college and Cesar, her best friend there, talked to her about someone named Brittany, a girl that he knew from some time ago. He knew about Santana's desire to explore other things, to know more about girls and to know someone who she could talk to, maybe someone with the same interests as her. Days passed and the interest to know more about this girl became something important to Santana. So she did what every other young person would have done and that was checking her Facebook profile. She wanted to put a face to the name, so she scrolled down through the pictures, nothing out of what every person put on her Facebook profile. "Well, at least, she's not a psycho", she thought.

Days passed and Santana wanted to meet Brittany in person so she asked Cesar for Brittany's number and called her.

Brittany seemed like a really nice girl through the phone, she knew about Santana too because of Cesar so she invited her over to her house to help her with some art project that she was doing at the moment.

"What, like right now?", Santana asked through the phone.

"Well, yes, now, if you don't mind helping me with this today. I mean I have to present it tomorrow morning and I like forgot about it until a few hours ago, so I need all the help I could get. Are you in?" Brittany asked.

Santana thought about it for a moment, she had a class in a few minutes but this was an opportunity to meet Brittany that she wasn't going to throw to waste.

"I'll help you. Text me your address and I'll be there as soon as I can".

She was on her way to Brittany's house and she was extremely nervous and she didn't know why. She knew the girl, well, at least through Facebook and some things that Cesar had told her before, but something was making her nervous and she didn't know what it was. Thirty minutes later she was outside Brittany's apartment. She pressed the bell and a male voice, probably a child, answered her asking who it was.

"I'm Santana, ehh, I'm here for Brittany". She said.

"Oh, okay, let me buzz you in".

She didn't know who he was but she didn't give her a second thought about it.

"He's probably her brother", she thought.

Once she was upstairs, a boy of about ten or eleven years answered the door.

"Hey, Santana, right?" He asked her. She nodded dumbly. "Well, I'm alone right now, but you can wait in the living room if you want. She must come back right away. She went to the store a few blocks from here. Make yourself comfortable."

Santana was surprised with the boy, he looked so much like Brittany but not a chance in hell that he was her son, she was the same age as her and the boy looked like he was ten years old.

"Oh, that's fine. I'll wait here, no problem". She said.

"Do you want to use my computer? I'm watching TV right now so I can lend it to you if you want, to keep yourself entertained while you wait" Offered the boy.

"No, I'm fine really, thanks tho". Santana answered. She was left alone in the living room so she used the time to explore a little bit and maybe she would get to know a little bit more about Brittany before she came back. Brittany's house was nice, not big, it was an apartment after all, and it had a vibe that make Santana feel at home. She was skimming through a bunch of cds when she was startled by the sound of a door closing.

"Oh, hi!, you must be Santana, I'm Brittany, nice to meet you". Santana was left speechless by the girl. She had the most beautiful eyes that she had seen in the history of forever.
