Thank you for the response and I am so sorry that it took so long for the next update, but we got a dog, my sister moved out and my teachers decided to write three classtests in a week.

I don't own Glee.

5 Days later:

"So tonight is the night." Santana stated. "You are going to tell your parents?" Kurt asked. "We have to." Brittany three of them were sitting in the choir room. They had a free period and they decided to talk with Kurt before the evening. "Are you going to tell them together?" "No, we decided it would be better if we didn't give them another heart attack. That will be bad enough for them. So I will talk to my parents and Britt with hers. And after that we'll see what happens. Any tips for us Lady Face?" "Be nice San." Brittany chided her. "It is okay. So I am not the expert for this but I can tell you what it was like for me. The point is that you don't have to lie anymore. That you can live free, without this 'burden'. And you know? They will probably react better than you think they would. Just look at my Dad and the way he reacted." "But Kurt. You kind of were out before you were out. You never had a girlfriend apart from the five minutes we dated and your Dad is great. He is a father who loves you unconditionally and he adapted. We both dated boys and our parents are well aware of what we did with them. And they believe in God, like extremely. Mine not as much as San's but still." The bell rang and Kurt stood up. "I have to go." He went to the door and turned around. "You are still their children. They love you. Don't forget that. Sometimes you do or say thing you don't mean to say and regret it afterwards. Keep that in mind. Good luck."


The rest of school went by quickly. Soon both of the girls were in their homes and talked to each other with their cell phones. "They just arrived B. Maybe we should just wait until they arrived properly and dinner is fixed and after a few glasses of wine or.." "Stop San." Brittany cut her off. "We agreed to do it now. Imagine if they heard it from somebody else. Anyway my Mom is calling. Dinner is ready. We will do it now. You can do this. Call me back." The line went dead.

'Oh god. Please help me through this.' Santana went slowly out of her room and to the stairs. 'I can do this' She told herself with every step she took.

'Okay. Let's get this done.' Brittany almost ran downstairs. She wanted to do it as fast as possible. On the last step she hesitated. The family photo hung on the opposite wall. Her parents, her sister and she were smiling brightly. In the background was the Indian Lake. Santana had token the picture. She went with them because her parents didn't have the time for vacation. It was only two years ago but it seemed like ages. On the last evening they had decided to sleep outside. It had been the first time they said 'I love you'. After that Santana had started to cry and Brittany had held her until she had fallen asleep. Still it was one of the greatest days in her life.

Santana stepped into the living room. Her father was fixing himself a drink and her mother sat on the huge couch and was reading a book. She cleared her throat and they both looked up. "Hello mija." Her mother smiled. "How was school?" Her father asked. "Good. We decided on which songs we will be performing on sectionals." "Great. When is it again? Maybe we can come and watch you perform in case you want us to." "Really? I mean, that is so nice of you. It would be so wonderful if you would come. It's in two weeks on Friday. At 6 pm." 'Concentrate. You have to tell them. Now.' "Mom? Dad?" "Yes mija?" "I have to tell you something."

Brittany sat down on her chair. Her parents did the same. "Where is Eva?" "She is at one of her friend's house. Can you please pick her up after dinner?" "Of course Mom." They started to eat. "I gotta tell you this now. Otherwise I will push it away again and I don't want that. I want to tell you now." "What is it sweetheart?" Both of her parents' eyes were on her. Now or never. "I am gay."

"I am gay."
"Or bi or I don't know." She rambled. "But I am in love with a girl."
Silence. The time stood still as her parents looked at her. Then the sound of the glass in her father's hand crashing on the ground hit her ear.

Her parents just continued eating. "Aren't you going to say something?" Brittany asked confused. "Brittany. You weren't exactly secret with your preference towards girls. Look at your room. When was the last time you dated a boy? And you used to look at other girls when you thought no one was paying attention." "You weren't that subtle." Her father added.

"Get out."

"When are we going to meet her?"
Two words. Her father didn't even raise his voice. Two words were enough to crush her world. His eyes were filled with disgust and anger. "You have fifteen minutes to pack your stuff. And then I don't want to see you ever again. You are a shame for this family." The last sentence was shouted.

"Or did we already meet her?" "Is it Quinn? Or this jewish girl. What's her name again? Rachel?"

She felt numb as she went up. She packed her clothes and other things without seeing what she packed. "Fifteen minutes are over. Come down!" This was the last time she was ever going to walk these stairs. The last time she saw the ridiculous paintings she drew when she was younger. The last time she saw her parents.

"No Dad!" Not Rachel. Or Quinn! Why would you think I am dating Quinn?" "He's just teasing you. We know it's Santana. You spend every possible minute with her. She's part of this family."

"This is it. Mom, aren't you going to say something?" Her mother still sat on the same spot, with her book in her hands. She watched her with blank eyes. "Mommy?" Tears filled her eyes but she stopped them from spilling over. She wouldn't give her father the satisfaction. "Your time is up. You know where the door is." With one last look at her mother she turned around and left her home.


"You are seriously okay with this?" "Of course. You are our daughter. How couldn't we be okay with it? But still we want to meet Santana. Now as your girlfriend. I have to make sure that she won't hurt my daughter." "Stop Dad. I'll go and pick up Eva." She got her keys and drove to the house of Eva's friend Lily. She picked up her sister and drove back. Eva was seven years younger than Brittany. "What's up Britt? You are buzzing with energy." "Oh nothing. I just told Mom and Dad something and they were really happy." "What was it?" 'Shit.' She hadn't thought about her sister. How was she supposed to tell this a ten year old girl in a way she understood it? "I'll tell you later. Pinkypromise." She stopped the car, stepped out and locked it. She looked up and flinched. There was a dark figure sitting on her porch. "Hello?" She asked shakily. The figure turned her head and Brittany realized that it was her girlfriend. Smeared make up was the evidence that she had cried. "Get inside Eva. Tell Mom I'll come in a few." She sat down next to Santana but not as close as she would normally do. "What happened?"


She sat on the bench near the school with all her bags surrounding her. She didn't cry while she was "home" but now nothing did stop her. No one came around here at this time anyway. She couldn't go to Brittany like this. She just needed a break. Tomorrow she would be the caring and comforting girlfriend again but not today. She needed some distance. A car drove by and she looked down. She didn't want to be recognized. She heard the car stop. Great now she had to go. Trouble wasn't something she wanted at the moment. A familiar boy sat down next to her. Puck. She tried to gather herself and wipe away her smeared make up but he had already seen her. "They threw me out." Immediately his strong arms wrapped around her while she broke down. He didn't say anything, he was just.. there. After some time she pulled away and wiped her tears away. "What am I going to do? Britt will say I can stay at hers. But I can't. Not now. I want some space." "You can stay with me. My Mom won't mind. I didn't get you pregnant. That's a plus." He tried to joke. "We have a spare room." "Thanks Puck." "We bring your stuff there now and I'll talk with my Mom. I understand that you might need break or something but please talk to her. She deserves it." "Yeah, I suppose you're right. Can you drive me there?


"I'll take that as they took it well?" Santana sounded bitter. "They did. What about your parents?" Brittany asked quietly. "Absolutely great. They threw me out and don't want to see me anymore. Oh and I am a shame for the Lopez family." "Oh San, I am so.." "Don't." Santana cut her off harshly and regretted it immediately. "I mean it happened and we can't change it. I'll deal with it." "You can live here. My parents said you are part of our family. And I would love to wake up next to you." Santana's heart melted but she stayed hard. "Thank you but I will be staying with Puck. I think we need some distance now and he's a good guy. I have to go now. See you tomorrow in school." She walked down the street and went in the direction of Puck's house. Brittany watched her disappear in the dark.

"Stay."
