Santana woke up to the feeling of getting smacked in the face. She opened her eyes, blinking a few times to adjust. It took her a moment to realize that they had fallen asleep on the front lawn. She took the hand belonging to her girlfriend and put it back over to the body beside her. She heard the light mumbling from besides saying "the bananas was flying".

Her back was killing her, probably for the fact that they were sleeping out on the lawn. She didn't make a move to get up though. The pain didn't matter, because the pain in her back was nothing compared to the one in her heart.

She still had a hard time understanding what had gone down yesterday. Her mom had come down to school. She had walked into the halls of her high school and made a scene.

She had stood there, screaming all sorts of things so the whole school could hear her. But Santana had zooned out.

It was like an out of body experience. It was like she was watching herself getting screamed at. Santana had just stood there, letting her mom shout at her. She didn't even blink.

And as soon as her mom had stormed out of the School, Santana had walked away like a zombie. Not even Brittany could stop her or get her out of her daze.

Eventually Santana had ended up at the Dock. She didn't even remember how she got there.

Santana blinked. A hand was stroking away the tears that rolled down her cheek. Worried blue eyes were looking into her own. Santana had to look away she couldn't let Brittany look into her soul.

Damn those Pierce women and their ability to look straight through me, Santana thought.

She hadn't noticed Brittany waking up. She hadn't even noticed that she herself had started to cry. Before she could do anything she was brought into a tight hug. A familiar hand stroking her hair and the other one drawing soothing circles on her back. "Shh, I'm here, it's okay, everything will be okay."

Santana tensed at first, she didn't want to seem weak. She was always the strong one. She was always the one taking care of Brittany.

Brittany pulled away a little and tilted Santana's face up so that she could look into her eyes, "I know what you are thinking, and just please let me take care of you for once"

Santana opened her mouth but closed it again. She had no words. Brittany could read her like an open book. After a few moments she gave in and let Brittany pull her into her once again.

Santana let the feeling of her girlfriend sooth her, there was just something special about Brittany, her smell had a calming effect on Santana. Just the presence of the blonde made Santana feel safe, which if you really thought about it would be a bit weird, seeing as the girl wouldn't hurt a fly. But to Santana, Brittany was everything.

Everything… The word got stuck in her mind. That was true now, more than ever, because Brittany was the only family she had left. Well of course the whole Pierce family was sort of her family now, but that was only because of Brittany or thanks to Brittany or…

The noise of the front door opening and someone stepping out on the porch brought the girls out of their world.

"Morning sweethearts." Came the voice of Mrs. Pierce.
"Morning mom." Britt responded, still holding Santana tight in her arms.
Santana didn't answer though, she just gave her a sad smile before looking down to the ground again. Santana just couldn't seem to get words to come out of her mouth this day.

"There is breakfast in the kitchen" Mrs. Pierce said and gave the girls a smile before walking back into the house.

Breakfast.. Santana's tummy grumbled a little, but the thought of eating made her feel nauseous. Santana would rather stay here then go into that kitchen and see the way to morning chipper family eat breakfast.
Brittany seemed to have other plans though, because she jumped up to her feet as gracefully as only a dancer can do and tugged on Santana's arm. "Come on babe, you need to eat weather you want to or not."
Santana didn't have the strength in her to protest. And it still seemed like her brain couldn't send the words out of her mouth so she just stood up and let Britt drag her towards the house.

A few hours later Santana woke up on Britt's bed. She had forced herself to eat a pancake only to have to rush to the bathroom 10 minutes later to throw it back up. Brittany had of course rushed after her and held her hair to the side and patted her on the back while she was emptying the contests of her stomach. Then Brittany had led her into her bed and cuddled her until Santana fell asleep, silent tears rolling down her face.

Now she was alone in the familiar room, a room that felt more like home that her own ever did. Sure Britt's room was girly and bright, and nothing compared to Santana's dark one. But maybe that was why Santana liked it so much, because it was so much Brittany over it, bright and bubbly and full of life. Santana woke up from her daydream when she felt the bed dip beside her. A head laid itself on her chest and her hand automatically went up to stroke the long blond hair.

"Whatcha thinking about?" the blonde girl asked while playing with the hem of Santana's t-shirt.
"You." Came the simple answer.
"Yeah?" the blond said lifting her head and turning it around to look at her girlfriend.
"Mmmhmm." Santana said feeling herself drowning in blue sparkling eyes. She leaned forward ready to catch the lips of her girlfriend with her own.

"Ahm" the sound of someone clearing their throat, was heard from the doorway. And Santana let her head fall back to the pillows and Britt turned her head around. "Yes mom?"
I can't believe that woman's timing sometimes. If I got a penny for every time she has interrupted us I would be able to buy the universe by now. Santana thought to herself.

She was brought back to reality when she heard Mrs. Pierce say that her mother had been there.
"Wait, what?" Santana shot up from the bed.
"Your mom dropped your stuff off, sweetie" Mrs. Pierce said trying to reassure Santana with her voice.
"That stupid bitch, she wasted no time huh!" you could hear the anger raising in Santana's voice. She started pacing Britt's room, silently mumbling in Spanish as she went on.

Mrs. Pierce went over and took Santana into her arms. The girl tried to fight her off at first, But Mrs. Pierce knew Santana by now. And she knew that Santana was going to break at any second, and she knew that she needed it even though Santana would never admit it.

A few seconds and Santana was a crying mess, her legs gave out and soon Santana found herself sitting on the floor, held up tightly in Mrs. Pierce arms. Britt watched on from her bed, tears rolling down her face. She had never seen her girlfriend so broken…

After what seemed like forever. Santana seemed to calm down. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks and she hiccupped a little as she tried to take some deep breaths.
"She really kicked me out." Santana said before she broke into a new crying fest.
Mrs. Pierce just held her, telling her everything would be okay.

That was it for Brittany, she had had enough now. She jumped off the bed and stormed out of her room. She ran out of the house.

At the sound of the front door slamming shut, Santana jumped. She looked over to the bed and when she saw it was empty. "Britt!" She said jumping out of Mrs. Peirce hold on her and started running after her girlfriend.
