Chapter Four

Santana's PV

Ever since I had that dream about Quinn everything has been so weird between her and I. The weekend of the wedding is over and we have all returned home, my mother was over joyed that Britt Britt and I are back together. I think she was more excited than I was. B and I have been pretty great, even though Sam keeps sending her messages asking for Britt's forgiveness, you would think that he would know that no one can possibly top Santana Lopez, Wanky.

"SANTANA, SOMEONES AT THE DOOR FOR YOU," my mum screamed from the lounge room.

"OK MUM, BUT YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL I'M NOT DEAF, AND YOU AREN'T THAT FAR AWAY."

"SANTANA, STOP YELLING, THIS ISN'T A ZOO,"

"YOU WERE DOING THE SAME THING TWO SECONDS AGO, NEXT TIME TEXT ME." Oh my god my mother is strange. She doesn't understand that if I'm in the kitchen I CAN hear her when she doesn't yell. I almost forget that there was a reason we were yelling in the first place. I guess Britt decided to come early.

"Hey ba-"there is a blonde at my door, but it isn't the blonde that I was expecting.

"Santana," ugh, I cannot deal with this today, this isn't the reason that I came back home for a few weeks.

"Sam what are you doing here?" he looks so different, the usual trouty is happy and the person before me does not look happy, he looks like he is broken, mentally and emotionally.

"Let me see her,"

"She isn't here right now,"

"Like fuck she isn't, he has been here all the time, she is never at her house so if she isn't here where the fuck is she?"

"Calm down Sam, I don't know where she is, she isn't here." What does he mean that she hasn't been at her house, how would he know? I drop Britt home every night and tuck her into bed.

And that's when it happens. He brings his fist back and connects it with my face. I fall to the ground and can feel the warm blood trickling down my face.

"That's that you get for stealing my girlfriend!" I get off the ground and punch him right in the face, I bring my fist back for another punch but I feel someone wrap their arms around me and drag me back inside.

"MUM! Why would you do that, let me at him!"

"the Lopez blood really does run deep within you, I was hoping that there would be a little bit of me in you, but I think I am fighting a losing battle, you are all your father Santana." I don't know where she is taking this.

"Ok and..." she takes a deep breath and starts to talk again.

"You are exactly the way your father was when he was young, rowdy and hot tempered, and yes it is goods to protect the ones you love but it can get you into a lot of trouble Santana, you need to be careful, because one day I won't be there to stop you."

"But he hit me first,"

"I know, but that doesn't mean that you hit him back, Santana he just lost his girlfriend, and he needs to deal with that, I am in no way condoning what he did but you need to understand it can be hard" I think my mouth dropped open from the shock of what my mother just told me.

"Are you serious? He took Brittany away from me in the first place!"

"Santana, if I remember correctly which I think I am, you broke up with Brittany, you broke her heart and Sam put the pieces back together, you don't know this because she asked me not to tell you, but the first month after you broke up with her Brittany, would come here every day and ask to go into your room. She missed you so much, she would go into your room and cry, and she would bawl her eyes out and look at the photos around the room. She told me she loved your room because it held so many amazing memories for you two and that it smelt like you." I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes; I never realized how hard she took it. I really was everything for her. I looked after her and took care of her. Then when I was gone Sam stepped in, but he could have done it in a friendly way, he didn't need to take advantage of Britt.

"Oh, I didn't know she felt that way, I never thought that I did wrong by her by breaking up with her, I thought that I was doing the right thing since I was so far away from her and couldn't be there for her like I was before." I couldn't help the tears that were falling from my eyes as I was talking to my mum, I never realized how broken she was.

"Darling, you aren't a horrible person, you had her best interest at heart, and there is nothing wrong with trying to do what is best for the person you love." I gave my mum a hug and tried to understand everything that she just told me. I need to do right by B and make all that up to her.

As I was hugging my mum I heard a small knock on the door and I knew that it was Brittany, the smile that took over my face was from ear to ear and I knew for the first time in a while that everything was going to work out for the better. I ran to the door and didn't even bother to wait to see her face, I pulled her to me and kissed her with all the passion that I had, we kissed for what seemed like forever, until I went to grope her neck. Her hair, it was too short to be B's. Oh shit.

"Quinn!"

"H-hey San," she could barely even look me in the eye and I knew that I really had stepped in it this time.

"Oops, err, sorry about that, I thought you were B-"

"Brittany, I know." She looked almost angry as she said Britt's name. What is going on with her lately?

"Sooo, what's going on Q?" she looked quite nervous about something. She was fidgeting and she looked like she was playing something over and over in her head.

"I think we need to have a talk." The way she said that was as if something really horrible was about to happen and I really can't stand to lose Q at the moment.

"San, I-I think that I a-"

"Hey Sanny!" Britt calls out and runs over and kisses me, Quinn looks almost relieved that she was interrupted.

"I'll talk to you later San,"

"Q you don't need to go" but it was too late she was already back at her car and starting to speed away.

"That was weird."

"Yea B I know."

Two Hours Later

Britt and I had spent the past couple of hours just watching movies and hanging out like old times. It was nice to know that even through everything that has happened that we can still be like this, the old us. So true to our old selves we have popped in some Sweet Valley High and we're getting out cuddle on. Brittany still doesn't know what happened with Sam and I don't think that I will let her know, even though she has been pestering me about what happened to my face, I don't think she quite believes the I fell and hit my head story.

"San?"

"Yea, baby?"

"I love you,"

"I love you to." And with that, we both drifted off into sweet bliss, all thoughts of Quinn this afternoon had left my mind and I was exactly where I was meant to be.

Quinn's PV

Only I, Quinn Fabray could be THAT stupid! What the hell is wrong with me! I should not have gone there to her house. What was I going to say anyways, hi Santana I think I am in love with you, please break up with Brittany after you just got back together and be with me, even though we only just had a one night stand together, I think that what we have could be a real think like what the fuck! That would have gone down real well Quinn, not only would you probably lose Santana as a friend but could you imagine what that would do to Brittany, she just broke up with Sam for Santana and there is no way that she would forgive me for doing that to her.

I start pacing around my room, unsure of how to fix what happened this afternoon. I heard my phone signal a new text and I went over to see who it was from. And there flashing on the screen was the one person that I was so desperately trying to get away from.

New Message: Santana Lopez
