Sebastian couldn't believe his team came second and lost to the New Directions. Even though it was three months after competition he still felt sour. Rolling his eyes entering into his car he realized not even sex from Jennifer and Anthony made him feel better. He was annoyed, aggravated, pissed and hell bent on wanting some form of revenge. Rachel with her annoying peppy talk about how her being a soloist is a definite win for the team; He admit she had a good voice but someone else's voice was way better in that team and he hated to admit it always captivated him. Sighing in frustration home sounded much better.
Turning on the ignition he drove out of the parking lot and headed home. Lady gaga seemed to be his form of therapy as he listened to "Edge of glory." Nodding his head to the music singing along at some points of the song he saw someone walking in the middle of the road between the dividers. Thinking it's probably a drunken idiot he drove slowly towards them just to insult them for being an idiot until his eyes widened and his foot hit the brakes immediately. There standing was a petite girl shaking as tears fell from her eyes. Clothes torn as bruises covered all over her body. One eye shut as blood trickled from a gash on her forehead, hair unraveled in her ponytail lips busted and split, hand covered what looked like a bleeding wound. Getting out of his car Sebastian couldn't form a word as he ran towards her. Standing in front of her in pure horror for her, "who did this to you?" his voice demanding and urgent, his eyebrows knit together as he looks at her and she faces him shaking. "Santana. Who did this to you?" He looked at her grabbing her arm as she whimpered in pain and he softened his hold.
Looking at him with her one good slight swollen eye she cried to him "don't send me home please kill me." Her voice cracked as he held her and quickly lift her up in his arms and opened his car door with ease and put her in. He didn't care about the blood messing up his interior he needed to get her to a hospital quick. Driving past the speed limit he noticed Santana was drifting in and out. He had to hurry he didn't want to lose her anyone but her.
Arriving to his destination he quickly jumped out of his car and opened the passenger side lifting Santana with ease. She was limp now and she felt lighter than she did before and he put her in his car "stay with me Santana." rushing inside "SOMEONE HELP HER, SOMEONE PLEASE." A few nurses looked up as they quickly rushed towards him while one was on the phone calling a doctor. A male nurse made his way towards Sebastian with a clip board in his hand "What happened?" The nurse asked.
"I don't know she was walking in the middle of the road."
"Do you know her?"
"Yes, Santana Lopez."
"Look up her records and dial her guardian." Sebastian eyes widened.
"NO DON'T." the nurse looked at Sebastian as if he lost his mind, "when I found her she begged me not to take her back home. She begged me...she begged me to kill. I don't think calling her home is a smart choice." the lady looked at him as the guy listened and nodded his head.
"Lydia...call the cops." The nurse nodded her head and made left him with Sebastian.
"Wait here we'll keep you posted." entering into the room he sighed and immediately called his father.
"Son calling late at night I'm going to guess you're not home." He chuckled on the phone as Sebastian overheard his mother asking if he was alright.
"Dad I need your help."
"What did you do?" he asked sternly.
"I didn't do anything it's not help for me I know someone and she is hurt really really badly and I think her guardian is abusing her and I'm at the hospital I found her walking in the middle of the road as I was heading home. Dad she looks really messed up." He didn't hear anything and waited for his father to speak.
"Keep me posted." sighing in relief and listening to his instructions he hanged up the phone taking another deep sigh. Questions were beginning to fill his head.
How long was this happening?
When did it all started?
Who did this to her?
Why her?
Why didn't any of the New Directions protect her?
Do they know?
He was becoming angry of course he was right they all are a bunch of idiots. They couldn't even realize one of their own was in dire need. The feeling of protecting her took over. He wasn't going to call nor notify anyone of them. They could have saved her from this and now she was in the hospital begging him to kill her. She deserved better.
The cops finally reached as they stood in front of him with the male nurse and sat facing him. "Can you tell us about your friend?" Sebastian looked at them.
"She is not my friend. I just know her and we are somewhat enemies." The male looked at him as Sebastian saw his last name is Hernandez and the other cops last name is Armstrong.
"How are you enemies."
"well we hate each other in a way only because we go to different school in Glee club but that's it." Hernandez nodded his head.
"Can you tell us how you found Ms. Lopez." Taking a breath Sebastian explained everything he could and informed them of what she had said as the male nurse makes his way towards them making Sebastian no longer wanting to talk to the cops. All he cared about is finding out if she was going to be okay. "Is she okay?" a man in a white long coat came forward and he immediately knew he was the doctor. Sebastian sat back down facing them as the cops turned their focus to the doctor; luckily the waiting room was empty so no one could interrupt.
"Matthew informed of the situation on your belief that her guardian is abusing her. We take this seriously and informed the cops." Pointing at Hernandez and Armstrong.
"Just get to it." Impatient he tapped his left foot as the nurse took note of this.
"Santana will be okay nothing major no internal bleeding. Her wounds are cleaned. What we can tell you is that there are multiple wounds around seventy-five percent of body some even on top of one another. There are also signs of rape…"
"Rape?" Sebastian looked at the doctor as tears formed in his eyes "can I see her please?" the doctor nodded his head and Sebastian followed right behind as he entered the room.
He didn't pay attention to the fact the cops followed, he didn't pay attention to Hernandez taking pictures of Santana for evidence. He just looked at her. She looked so small her hair damp from it being cleaned, bruises all over her arms and neck. He always wondered why she never smiled, why she never looked happy when he saw her, why she stayed away from the group. She was exiling herself she was recognizable to him but he never stopped to question her if she was okay, to find out what was wrong. The many times he thought to follow her he didn't and now he wished with all those chances that were presentable he wished he did. Tears fell from his eyes as he sat down beside her and held her hand.
Before the cops left Sebastian stopped them, "my father is a lawyer and I will take her under my care until my father reaches back to take temporary guardian ship. "I don't want anyone at Mckinley High to find out about this especially the Glee club." Armstrong looked at Hernandez and Hernandez nodded his head.
"We have questions to ask but we will keep you posted." Armstrong looked at him and gave him a wink with a small smile. "For a kid who says your enemies you sure don't seem like it." they left as they head off for their arrest.
Taking off his blazer he got on the bed and pulled her limp body beside him and held her tiny frame gently as he could and kissed her forehead. "Santana. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'll keep you safe no one from glee or your parents will ever see you again. I'll protect you." kissing her forehead once again he kept her in his arms and fell asleep.
Santana woke up. Opening her eyes she felt pain all over and the feeling of someone holding her. She panicked as she tried to sit up trying to jump out the bed in fear waking up Sebastian he quickly grabbed her. "Santana its okay it's me." she looked at him in fear as she saw Sebastian eyes filled with worry "it's okay." he held her. "No one is going to hurt you." looking around the room she realized she was in the hospital from what she could barely see she turned to look back at him as he pulled her slowly to him.
"Sebastian." it was the first time she ever said his first name to her. It was always an insult or sharing nickname she would give him. Hearing her voice cracked his heart broke as he looked at her.
"I need you to be honest to me. Who did this to you?" Santana looked at him as much as she could but her fully swollen eye and the barely swollen good eye gave great difficulty. "Santana please." she looked at him.
"My...my father." she answered softly. Sebastian felt his anger flare inside him as he was pissed.
"Did he rape you?" he felt like his heart dropped as the fear on Santana face and the immediate tears
"Don't tell me I'm pregnant. Get it out of me I don't want it." she cried out as he pulled her to him.
"You're not pregnant." holding her close to him he kissed her forehead. "I won't let him touch you again I promise you." He whispered in her ear as she cried holding onto his shirt for dear life. "It's going to be okay." Holding her close he kissed her forehead. "You're going to be okay…I will keep you safe."
