"Why did you do it Q?"

"I wanted to feel something for once."

Santana looks at Quinn. She stares into her eyes and sees nothing but sadness and emptiness.

"What do you mean Q?"

"When Finn dumped me at the funeral, do you know what he asked me San?"

Santana knew it was a rhetorical question, but replied anyway, as if to urge Quinn to continue.

"What did he say?"

"He asked me if I even felt anything anymore. But you know what hurt anymore?"

A short period of silence overcame the two.

"I realized, that no, and that I haven't for a long time."

Santana struggled to understand.

"So you thought pain was better?"

"It reminds me that yes, I am still alive. It gives me a flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe, I'm not completely numb."

The brunette struggled for words, seemingly taken aback by the blonde's statement.

She whispered out, "Why didn't you tell anyone?"

Quinn let out a humorless chuckle,

"I guess I thought it was obvious."

Santana took a couple seconds to remember the years they had been friends. It was in that moment that she remembered how the unholy trinity was never really one. It was always S and B, with Q. It only truly became obvious when Quinn got pregnant, and they turned against her quicker than the wind.

Santana gasped into the empty, crisp air of the hotel bathroom. She just now realized that Brittany was long gone, having noticed the moment between the two girls.

"Quinn I'm so sorry th-" Santana began to say, but Quinn quickly cut her off.

"Whatever, it's fine. The past is in the past right?"

"No! But it's not fine Quinn! If it was fine, we wouldn't be here right now would we!?"

"So now you care? Now that I am some charity case? Nothing would have changed had that stupid door stay locked. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it S! People only begin to care, when it is shoved right in front of their faces!"

Santana was taken aback. Throughout the years, out of the trio, Quinn was always the one who kept her cool. She was always calm and collected, with every move perfectly planned out.

Maybe it was all just a perfect facade that's crumbling down.

"So what do you expect me to do? Just ignore it? I can't and won't do that Fabray!"

"Fine. You tell a soul about this? I will pull you out of your closet so far and fast that the world won't known what hit it."

"You wouldn't dare!" Santana seethed. She was trying to help Quinn here, but all she did back was threaten to destroy everything Santana had worked for.

And just like that, Ice Queen Quinn is back.
