Here is chapter 3 for all of you who have waited so patiently. Hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think!

She was sleeping with her head against the cold window when I pulled into the parking lot of the motel. I had driven for about 3 hours before finally giving in to my heavy eyelids and exhaustion. We didn't say a word to each other the entire time, she stared out the window and I didn't remove my eyes off of the road. It wasn't an awkward silence though. It was nice, comfortable even. I left the damaged girl in my car and went to go get a room. That poor thing I thought. Many questions have entered my thoughts since finding her, like who was the woman in the house and what did she do to deserve this. I wasn't going to go looking for answers though. I had enough of my own problems to worry about, I didn't need the extra baggage right now.

I grabbed my bag from the trunk and I shut the hood, waking the tired blue-haired girl. I watched as she rubbed her eyes then panicked for a second.

"umm.. excuse me-" she said in a soft tone, she almost sounded scared. Not that I would blame her for being scared. Some random lady picking her up in the night, taking her to some stingy motel nowhere near where she lives. That just screams sketchy.

"Santana, my name is Santana, and yours is Dani." I could see her smiling through the side mirror. I guess she liked my name, at least enough to relax a little. "You told me last night."

"Santana.. so umm.. where are we exactly" she slowly opened to car door, got out and leaned up against the side.

"some motel about 3 hours west of where I picked you up. I can take you back if you-" she cut me off by putting her hand up. I didn't even think about whether she would want to come this way.

"no this is perfect, umm.. do you.. umm. Mind if I sleep in your car though?" her eyes are on the wet pavement now.

"I got us a room. Two beds so you don't need to sleep in there." I said pointing at the car. I walked to the room door and opened it. "I'm not a creeper or anything. I just saw you in the rain and felt bad you know. I didn't want to be an ass and just leave you on the side of the road." I walked to the desk and put my bag on it. The room was quite large. Two beds, a desk that had a shitty little T.V on top of it. The bathroom was a little stingy looking, but this was a cheap motel. It would work for the night.

I turned around and the short girl was sitting on the end of one of the beds, running her hands on it. "so.." I continued the conversation but trying not to scare her. She turned her head and her face caught the light of the bedside lamp. My breath hitched and she snapped her head back to look at me. Now that I could see her face, she was absolutely beautiful. Even with exhausted eyes and wet hair she looked flawless. "what was tonight about?" I asked cautiously, hoping to get an answer. I don't really know what I was hoping to hear but something about this short, blue-haired girl intrigued me. She remained silent though. Think San, how are you going to get this poor, frighted girl to relax? I pulled the chair so it was near the end of the bed she was sitting on. I paced my hands on my thighs and glanced at them. Bingo!

"My fiance.. well more like ex fiance now, cheated on me. Several times. I walked in on her and one of her.." I was becoming more confident but my hands were shaking a litte, "friends, she liked to call them. I was going to marry someone who couldn't commit and I knew she couldn't. I can't get over that. Like what is so wrong with me that I would go along with it. Knowing what I did, I ignored it and now I'm acting like I never saw it coming." I was ranting now but she didn't seem to mind, she kept her eyes on me the entire time. "how could I have been so fucking stupid!" I stood up and started to pace the room. "all those years wasted on empty promises. Then I pick up a stranger, bring hr to a motel. God I sound insane!" I stopped when I saw her stand up. She walked over to where I was standing and hugged me. Within seconds I broke down crying, my knees gave out nut she caught me. "How could I be so dumb."

"I think you were in love. You do crazy things for it. Trust me." she touched the dried blood on her head. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I ran the water over a cloth and went back and cleaned her cut. It didn't need stitches but it was gonna be a hell of a goose egg.

"I don't think I really loved her though. Now that I think about it, I was never in love. But after being together for so long it's just expected that you get married. I know it's no reason to do it, but my family is.. well.. very traditional I guess you could say. Wow I sound like a terrible person."

"that lady was my landlord slash girlfriends mom. I lost my job a while ago, haven't paid rent or anything. I have no money to pay anything. So while Jess was at work her mother kicked me out. Well more like threw me out. So, for what it's worth, I think you are very sweet and your ex is the dumb one for giving you up." her eyes met mine again. They were incredible, so much I was getting lost in them. I felt her hand taking the cloth out of mine. "And for the record, I never thought that what you did for me tonight was creepy. For the first time in a while I felt like someone cared. Even if it was from a stranger." She was smiling again. "you know whats funny about all of this though." she stood up and put the cloth on the desk.

"whats that?" I answered.

"we're both gay." she chuckled a little.

"yeah who woulda thunk." I gave her a reassuring smile.
