Chapter 2:
Santana woke up in the morning at about 9:00am, having got hardly any sleep since she made her realisation last night. She decided she had to just get it over and done with and reached over for her phone;
To Kurt: we needz to talk. Santana.
About 10 minutes later he got a reply.
From Kurt: okay… 1; how'd u get my number 2; is this some kind of joke or wrong person and 3; why?
Santana just groaned and replied,
To Kurt: look, I just did, and no I'm serious, and also I need to speak to you face to face, and to do that I need some coffee so meet me at the lima bean in say about an hour or so.
Santana quickly jumped in the shower, dried her hair and threw a pair of skinny jeans and a top on and headed out the door to The Lima Bean.
Santana had gotten her coffee and sat at a table the corner of the shop, a few minutes later Kurt and Blaine arrived.
''erm, excuse me, did I ask for Blaine to come?'' Santana remarked.
''no, I found him outside and asked him to join us'' Kurt answered.
''was you with Kurt at Breadstix last night?'' she jumped straight to the point
''yes. Wait how'd you know we were there?''
''I saw Kurt's bejazzled car outside''
''hey'' Kurt said holding a hand to his heart
''actually we were sat next to your booth'' Kurt quickly brought up.
''what'' Santana coughed.
''yeah'' Kurt said nudging Blaine.
''erm, I'll go get some drinks then my friends are waiting for me over there'' Blaine said standing up.
''so how much did you hear last night then?'' Santana asked.
''enough'' Kurt said simply said.
''ok, and are you going to tell anyone?''
''why would I do that?''
''because all I've ever been is horrible and unsupportive of you and made your life a living hell'' Santana admitted.
''yes, but I was like you once, petrified to come out the closet'' Kurt sympathized.
''really, you aren't going to tell anyone?'' Santana couldn't believe it.
''no, I just want you to know you can always talk to me about anything, and I won't judge you or use it against you, and I promise if you do decide to become public with Brittany, I will have your back one hundred percent'' Kurt truthfully promised
''thank you, but im not so good aat the whole talking about things.''
''its ok, we can try starting now if you like? Why we are on the topic it could make it more approachable'' Kurt suggested
''ok, what would you like to know?''
''well is it just us that knows?''
''yes at the minute, Britt really wants to tell people though, and I think she will probably tell her parents sometime this weekend''
''and are you ok with that?" he asked.
"I guess it won't be too bad, I mean I have to start telling people soon" she looked down upset.
Kurt had never seen Santana open up so much "you don't have to do anything you're not a hundred percent comfortable with"
"But if I don't get the push I need, to tell people, even if I'm not fully ok, I will still be in the closet 50 years later, and even worse I will lose Britt, and I-I can't live without her."
"Just start with yours and Britt's parents, then maybe close friends, the Glee club perhaps?" Kurt kindly suggested.
"I was thinking about telling my parents, but there very, erm stubborn and old fashioned, If you know what I mean" she embarrassingly admitted.
"Well, you have Britt, and I'm sure her parents will be absolutely fine about it all, and me and Blaine will be here if you ever need us, just don't ever change yourself for any bigot you ever meet"
"Don't worry, I won't" she laughed off.
"You have my number, so call me if you need anything"
"Alright, thank you so much Kurt." She said sincerely "and I'm sorry for everything in the past"
"That's exactly what it is, in the past"
"No, it's not ok, what I did was cruel, and I never stopped and thought how it made you felt, every little comment or jibe I made at you. I'm sorry and I know you shouldn't forgive me, but I hope we can maybe be friends?" she asked
"I understand, and yes, friends" he said standing up and hugging the girl.
"See you in Glee club Kurt"
"Yes, and let me know how it goes with your parents"
"I will, say bye to Blaine." She sad going to walk out the shop as she turned around and whispered "you two make a good couple by the way" after teasing him and laughing at his reaction sh left and went home.
It was that evening and it was a rare occasion; Santana's Mom and Dad were both home for an actual homemade meal and were all sat together at the table.
"So Mija, how's school going?" her father Antonio asked.
"It's going good Papi, we got a big show choir competition coming up soon, so everyone is really psyched about that"
"You really shouldn't be wasting your time on silly singing things, you should be in the classroom learning and getting an education" he disapproved.
"Actually I'm still getting A's, and it's not just a sil-"
"So Santana, are we going to be meeting a special someone soon?" her mother Maribel interrupted as she knew how quickly her husbands and daughters tempers could flare, especially when they were arguing with each other.
"I'm seeing somebody" she gritted her teeth.
"Ooh, who?" she asked curiously
"Br- erm, it-it-it's not actually official yet." she stumbled nearly making a huge mistake.
"Is it that blonde boy Sam?" Maribel pestered.
"No" Santana said as she shoved a mouthful of food into her mouth.
"What about that Jewish boy, Noah" Antonio now joined it.
"We want to meet him"
Santana began rubbing her temples wishing she had just kept quiet. "Look it doesn't matter"
"I'm not going to say anything"
"Why, what's wrong Santana is he forcing you to do things, you can tell us anything?"
"Really, anything?" she wondered out loud.
"Yes, you know we won't judge you any less" her mother rubbed her arm
"We will love you, and I won't let any boy ever hurt you" Antonio said taking a sip of water.
"It's Brittany" she felt a huge weight fall off her as she told them this "were a couple and I love her, the way I'm supposed to love boys"
The whole house fell to silence, and Santana felt her mom's grip suddenly tighten on her wrist then let go, she studied her parents and then looked at her father who had lost all colour in his face, and was gripping his glass so tight she was afraid it would smash in his hand.
"Don't joke around Santana" her father ordered.
"I'm not, I swear." She admitted looking down.
"My daughter isn't like that, you're not" he drilled into Santana with his strong, loud words.
As he stood up Santana tried to convince him "look Papi, I feel whole when I'm with her and I know it's difficult for you to understand but I'm still the same Santana I was 2 minutes ago"
"NO!" he then launched his glass across the room "tell her Maribel, it's a sin, an embarrassment"
"Mom" Santana looked at the woman who hadn't said a single word since and ad just sat there staring at her plate.
"You either be normal or leave this house, I don't want you near our family, poisoning them with your ways" Antonio gnarled.
"MOM" she cried now the tears streaming down her face "do something please" she begged.
"GET OUT. NOW!" her father said getting into Santana's face.
"No, please dad I'm norm-"Santana then felt a hard heavy hand smack her across the face with a shell shocking impact, Santana ran straight upstairs and threw all her clothes into various bags, grabbed as much other items she could including her dads car keys and mums which were outside on the landing, then got her phone and called Kurt.
Pick up, pick up, pick up she whispered while the phone was dialling…
"Hi Santana, what's up?"
"Kurt, you gotta come get me, now"
"Whoa what's happened?"
"I told them, my life's ruined, please come"
"I'll be there in 15 minutes"
"No, no, I can't wait that long not with him here."
"Blaine lives around the corner from you, go to his and meet me there then"
"Ok, thanks I'm taking my dad's car and my bags are just about packed"
"Ok see you soon ill text Blaine, so you want me to tell Britt?"
"No ill do that on my way, hopefully she can calm me down, and I'm seriously ready to cut a bitch"
"Alright and be safe"
"Thanks"
She ended the call and quickly put her laptop ad hygienic items in another bag and got a first aid kit as well, got her jackets on and ran downstairs as quick as she could seeing as she was carrying four and a half bags.
She jumped in her dads range rover and quickly drove out of the Garage without her Parents properly realising.
She put her phone on speak and rang Brittany who answered instantly.
"Hey baby"
"Britt" she sniffled
"San, are you ok?"
"No, I came out to my Mami and Papi"
"Did they not take it ok?"
"No, my dad went mad; he-he hit me Britt"
"WHAT! Where are you now?"
"I'm going to Blaine's I'm pulling up now and Kurt's here, he knows about us by the way"
"Alright I'll be there in two, I'm literally running out my house now, but you go into Blaines and make sure you're ok"
"Ok, see you in a minute"
"Bye baby"
Santana knocked onto the door which was opened straight away,
"Come on in Santana"
"Thanks"
"Om my gosh, your face, what happened?"
"My Dad" she said looking in the mirror at her swollen and incredibly bruised eye.
"I'll get you some ice"
Just then another knock came upon the door and Santana checked who it was and it was Brittany, out of breath, she opened the door and straight away Brittany cradled Santana's face in her hands
"Sweetie, your eye" she said worried.
"It's ok; Blaine's getting me some ice, I'll be fine"
"I can't believe he did this that son of a bitch, I'm going to kill him "Brittany started to get aggravated.
Santana rarely heard Brittany swear, so she knew she was pissed, so she garbed her by the cheeks this time and looked her straight in her big blue eyes, "I don't care about him anymore, I won't let anyone stand in-between us, I promise" and then took it upon herself to place a soft gentle kiss on Brittany's lips.
"Mmhm, what was that for" Brittany asked shocked Santana would even think about PDA after such an intense night about the same situation as well.
"I'm not getting kicked out of my house just to be able to stand her and not kiss and cuddle my girlfriend." She said proudly while hugging Brittany.
"But what about Blaine he's going to be back in a sec"
"And… your point is?" she teased.
"Nothing. I like this" Brittany admitted.
"Yeah well, I need to start growing a pair, because I really want to be with you, and nobody, not even my parents are going to stop me" "and, I do want to start telling people, I really do, just in good time, I was thinking about maybe telling Glee club sometime this week?"
"Definitely, I would love to" Brittany said giddily. "As long as you want to then we will"
"Here's your ice pack, it should help the swelling go down" Blaine walked back into the living room "Kurt said he's just round the corner and won't be long"
"Good, and thank you for understanding and letting me come round here"
"It's ok, Kurt explained what happened, we both know how you feel" "what are you doing about living arrangements though?"
"There's no way I'm going back there, not while he's around"
"You can stay at mine babe"
"Does your Mom know about us?"
"Yes, I spoke to her last night, and I skyped my Dad as well, they were great about it, and you stay over at mine all the time anyway."
Santana was in Brittany's room unpacking her things into the draws when Brittany walked in with two sandwiches and two cans of coke,
"Hey, how's the eye?"
"It's a little better, the ice helped a lot"
"Good" she said walking over and rubbing Santana's back "I made you lunch"
"Thanks, Sues gonna be so pissed about my eye though"
"It's not your fault; anyway I'll be there to make sure she doesn't treat you unfairly"
"Your so kind" she chuckled, she didn't know how Brittany managed to be so chipper about everything, and instantly managed to cheer her up as soon as she walked into the same room as her.
"And your beautiful, come here" Brittany pulled Santana over and wrapped her in a warming hug.
"What time will your Mom be home?"
"Erm she text about ten minutes ago saying she had left work early, she wants to make sure you're ok."
Santana was kind of jealous of how welcoming and understanding her parents were, she wished hers were like that, but she just wishes her Mom wouldn't be so scared of her dad and stand up for herself, she heard the arguments that they tried to hide at night and she always heard some smashing of different objects as well, then found them poorly hidden the next morning, and the bruises that were covered up with makeup. If it wasn't them arguing and fighting, it was her dads excessive drink, smoking and "working" late and never being home, or always pushing her too far. But she always thought that they all loved each other still, but now she was starting to see how venomous her dad actually was.
Just then her phone started ringing and she looked at it and it was her Mom,
"Shall I answer Britt?"
"Do you want to speak to her?"
"I think I need to" and she did, and she really wanted to so she pressed answer,
"Santana, are you there?"
"Yes Mami" "is he there"
"No, I'm on my way to see your Abuela, your father decided to ring her up, she's not taking the news so well either."
"Yeah, well I'm not coming back tonight, not while he is still there"
"I know, I wouldn't expect you to either, but do you have somewhere safe to stay?"
"Yes, I'm at Britt's, don't tell him though"
"I won't, how's your eye Mija"
"It will be better soon, just a slight swelling and some colourful bruising" "what are you going to do though Mami, I know he has been hitting you, and about the drinking an all the other stuff."
"I will be fine, it's you I'm worried about, I have to talk to him, make him understand that you are normal and still our precious little Santana, he's just a bit behind that's all."
"NO! Stop making excuses for him, can't you just open your eyes and see what he's doing to you, to all of us, he makes you miserable, you don't ever stand up for yourself anymore, you're not the strong woman I remember, and when he was screaming at me you just sat there knowing full well he had it in him to hit me as he has hit you before. Look what I'm saying is just stay at someone else house, go to Mario's for the rest of the weekend ok"
"Ok, thank you Santana, you're so smart you know. And you're right I do need to stand up to him more and I think this has made it a lot clearer, I didn't think he was capable of hitting you, and you re my top priority, and if having time away is the best thing for you, then you do that ok."
"Thank you, talk to me when you next can ok?"
"I will do, te amo Santana"
Santana put the phone down and took in a deep breath, "she's staying with my older brother Mario, I think she's realising that he's a horrid man and I hope she does the right thing for us all"
"She will, I'm sure and look you may have lost your dad but I think your mom can come to terms with us soon enough, just give her time ok."
"Damn right I've lost my dad, he deserves to be alone and sad"
"GIRLS, IM HOME!" Brittany's Mom shouted as she entered the house.
"We should go downstairs" Brittany suggested
"Yeh lets go" Santana took Brittany's hand and walked out their room.
"Hey Britty" Susan Pierce hugged her daughter who was the spitting image of her but slightly prettier and more youthful, Susan had the blonde hair and stunning facial features, but Brittany got her bright blue eyes from her father.
"Hi Mrs Pierce, thank you for letting me stay here" Santana shyly spoke.
"Don't be silly, and its Susan, you are like another daughter to me, and between us three much better behaved than our Gracie, too much mischief she is"
"Yes, I've heard from Brittany, it's just teen stuff right." Santana laughed, still feeling slightly unsure and different.
"We are getting takeout tonight, as we know me and Britt can't cook to save our lives, so what would you two like, the choice is all yours as Gracie and Brian aren't at home tonight."
"Ok, cool are you ok with Chinese San?" Brittany asked looking over towards Santana,
"Sure, whatever you want" she wasn't really hungry but knew Brittany would be on her case if she found her not eating again.
"Have you put ice on your eye sweetie?" Susan asked concerned
"I had an ice pack on which helped the swelling"
"Ok, does your Mom know you're here?"
"Yep I just got off the phone with her"
"Good, well if you need anything, any toiletries or anything from the shop let me know and I can take a drive their" Susan kindly fussed
"No I'm fine thanks; I managed to pack quite a lot actually"
"Alright, well I'll leave you two girls to it, and get on the phone to the Chinese then" and then she went to the kitchen and started looking through the doors for a menu.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the doctors or hospital San?" Brittany worried about Santana's eye which was becoming increasingly worse by the minute.
"If it still hurts tomorrow I will go to the doctors, but I'm sure it will be alright"
"Ok, let's get some food and then some sleep I'm so tired after today."
"Me too, I'm glad that I'm with you, it feels so right."
"I know."
