The Truth
Chapter 4
When Puck and Savannah arrived home, Savannah headed to the stairs but Puck stopped her.
"Savannah, wait." Savannah stopped.
"Yes, Dad."
"You do know that your Mum loved you alot?"
"Yes, of course."
"Then, you should have a look at this." He went to the cabinet and
opened a drawer. He took out a brown paper bag and an photo album. He handed them to Savannah. "Go upstairs and look at them. See what you have said these last couple of days are true." Savannah nodded and went to her room, she closed the door.
She placed the items on her bed and she sat on her bed next to them. She poured the contents of the brown paper bag onto her bag. All that was in it was a ring. Savannah held it up and it was beautiful, the diamond was lovely. She put it back in the brown paper bag, she set it aside. She opened the album and saw photos of her Mum, Dad and her. Until after a copy of the photo that was the bookmark in her book, the photos were of her Dad, her and Santana. They were all smiling, she wanted to rip the photos up. She went through the photos again but noticed something this time. In the photos where Quinn was there, she was wearing a ring. Savannah took the ring out of the bag and it was the same one. Her Mum had wore that ring, it could of just a ring she wore all the time. She put the ring back in the bag and closed the album.
She went downstairs and her Dad saw her.
"Dad, I don't get it."
"Well, that ring that was in the bag was your Mum's enagement ring, she gave it back to me when I was saying goodbye to her, she said that I could marry someone if I wanted to and if you were happy."
"Oh."
"Also, Santana was in the photo album too because she has helped me and you a lot. You might have thought she was taking over as Mum to you but she wasn't. All she was trying to do was to protect you, she loves you as much as everyone else does. Shortly after your Mum died I went into a... Breakdown. I would drink and drink in my room all day that was all I did. A social worker visited and Santana didn't want me to lose someone else. So she fixed the house and while I was drinking my life away in my room she said I was sleeping. She cleaned away all the bottles and fixed the house up. She didn't want you to be taken away, her best friend told her to protect her daughter and that is what she did. She didn't try to ruin your life and she never blamed your Mum's death on you no one did, it was mistake... An accident." Savannah passed the bag and album back to Puck and he put them back away.
"But what about when I saw Santana and you stripping else other's clothes off and full on making out?"
"Yes we went onto my bed and we had stripped to our underwear but Santana realized it was a big mistake and left straight away."
"Oh."
"It's getting late, are you going to go to bed?"
"Um... I think I will stay down here for a little while."
"Ok, well I'm going to bed."
"Goodnight Dad."
"Goodnight Savannah." Puck went up the stairs to his room, Savannah sat on the stairs watching the door for someone but this time Santana. She waited and waited but Santana didn't come home, so Savannah went to bed sad.
The next day, she went downstairs. Her Dad was still asleep, she
looked everywhere but Santana wasn't there. She went back upstairs and had a shower. While she was getting dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was in her bra and underwear, the awful scar was on her stomach it looked like a c-section scar and for awhile there was a rumor going round that she had a baby because that weekend she went to a pool party in her bikini. She couldn't help but cry, she was in that car crash with her Mum and she survived. When she heard her Dad call her, she quickly wiped her tears.
"I'm in my room, getting dressed." She yelled out.
She got dressed and went downstairs to her Dad.
"Hi Dad."
"Hello." He noticed that she had red eyes and asked "Have you been crying?"
"Um... No, why would you think that?"
"Your eyes are very red."
"Oh... They're like that cause I got a little bit of shampoo in them."
"Oh... Ok." She headed for the door. "Where you going?"
"Out." She left.
She went to school, it was a weekend. She went into the choir room and sat down at the piano. She started to play and sing...
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so sad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven
Or Bethlehem
Some pray that one day
Christ will come a-callin'
They light a candle
And hope that it glows
And some just lie there
Crying for him to come and find them
But when he comes they don't know how to go
Mama who bore me
Mama who gave me
No way to handle things
Who made me so bad
Mama, the weeping
Mama, the angels
No sleep in Heaven
Or Bethlehem
When she stopped, she heard clapping coming from behind. She quickly stood up and turned. She saw Mr Schu.
"Oh, Mr Schu."
"You have a wonderful voice."
"Oh, thank you."
"You look so much like your Mum."
"That's what everyone says."
"It's true, Savannah... Can I ask you something?"
"Ok."
"Why don't you join Glee Club, you have a beautiful voice and I'm
guessing your Dad taught you piano."
"It's not like I don't want to join it's just I'm fine with cheerleading. Only Mum, Dad, Santana and now you know I sing."
"Singing is a way of telling everyone who you are, don't you want to stand out."
"I don't really at the moment."
"What happened?"
"Just stuff."
"About your Mum."
"How do you know?"
"I have my sources."
"It's just... Learning all this stuff in just a couple of days is a lot to handle, no one knows what I'm going through."
"Savannah you're wrong, we all know what you're going through."
"What do you mean?"
"We all dealt with your Mum's death at one point."
"But you all weren't the one who was in the car crash with her and survived."
"You can't blame yourself for it."
"That's what everyone is saying and also how come I didn't get to see anyone after her funeral?"
"We all send you cards on your birthdays but our gifts were never
delivered to you. Your Dad and Santana thought that it would be best if you didn't see anyone close to your Mum besides Santana."
"But why?"
"I'm not sure."
"Oh... Mike told me that Santana became friends with my Mum before she had me, before Regionals because she had a pregnancy scare."
"Yes, that is right."
"Who did she think the baby's father was?"
"Mike... Mike Chang."
"Mike?"
