A/N Ok, finally here's the fourth chapter! My friend cried as she read the last one, and threatened to kill me if I took too long with this one, so here it is! XD Enjoy! ****I updated this, because the next chapter turned out to be like, five paragraphs, so erm, here! The stuff I added is tooottaalllyyy important for the story, so YOU MUST REAAD! :3

Hours later, I awoke with fluorescent lights flowing into my eyes. It took a few minutes to remember where I was. The hospital. I began to remember why. doctor came rushing to my bedside, smiling. "Hello, Santana. Thank you for your brave call for help. Now, as for your medical state, you just suffered some bruising, and you are to be let out of the hospital as soon as you're ready," he explained, his smile so big it was almost blinding.

"Wait!" I called for him as he started to walk out of the room. He turned around, and I asked, "What... What about my mother?" His happy look dropped into a very grim one. "Your mother... She is very fatally injured and has been put into a coma. I am so so sorry. As for your father, his whereabouts remain unknown. The police are searching, however, no luck yet," explained the doctor, putting his elastic-covered hand over my shaking one.

Tears freely falling down my face, I took a deep breath, and spoke. "May I... May I go home now?" The doctor smiled sympathetically, helping me out of the hospital bed, and handing me some newly-washed clothes. Smiling, I took them, and changed.

The previous day aside, I still had to go to school the next day. Since my mother was unable to take me to school, I decided to walk the 3 miles to school, knowing that it wasn't that far. Little did I know it would take an hour to arrive.

Tired and sweating, I arrived at school 10 minutes before the gate closed. Smiling at the bypassing teachers, I played the contentedly fine girl well, that is until Rachel saw me. Looking from her spot with Blaine, she whispered something in his ear, and ran over to me.

"Woah, San. What the fuck happened?" she asked, a solemn look replacing her usual trouble-making one. Nervously, I was able to spout out a quick 'nothing' before the bell rang, and I ran to class, leaving a confused, and possibly knowing Rachel Berry behind.

Walking to my locker, I knew lunch was going to be one hell of a hard time. Sighing deeply, I turned around, surprised to be facing a small, Asian girl. She was small, and had colored streaks in her raven hair, followed by an outrageously goth outfit.

She seemed familiar, and then I realized-she was in the glee club! Putting on my best fake smile, I looked at her and said, "Oh, hi! You're Tina right? What's up?" Her upward stare seemed to soften a bit, after seeing that I knew her name. Smiling, she spoke. "Well, seeing a you're not a Cheerio, and you're in the glee club, why are you hanging out with Quinn, Brittany, and Rachel?"

I smiled a bit, and tried my best not to sound rude with my response. "Well, when I got to school on the first day, they sort of took me under my wing. I suppose they were just being kind. I'm sorry for asking, but is there something wrong with them?" I explained, hoping that I didn't sound like a bitch.

Smiling, the goth Asian replied, "No, of course not. My friends Kurt Mercedes and I were just confused, that's all." A sudden spark rang in my mind. "Oh, Kurt! That awesome, flamboyant kid! He's fucking awesome!" I said, smiling brightly. Embarrassed, Tina leaned in a whispered, "You know he's gay, right?" I chuckled a little and responded, "Well, I didn't wanna day 'Oh, that gay kid!' ya know?"

She laughed, and looked down the hallway, as the said teen walked to meet her, and she said, "Well, it's nice meeting you!" and walked over to the pale boy.

Rachel met me by my locker a few minutes after my meeting with Tina, and grabbed my wrist, without a word, pulling me to an unknown destination.

A few minutes later, I found myself in the Cheerio locker room, surrounded by Brittany, Quinn, and Rachel, all of them in the same position, eyebrow raised, hip struck out, and arms crossed. "So, Sannikins... What were you doing last night?" asked Rachel.

I nervously looked at the three girls, and replied. "Uh... I was hanging with you guys... Remember?" Glaring at me, Rachel looked at the other girls. "Rachie... We saw the news last night..." tried Brittany. I cocked my head to the side, pretending to be confused. Beads of sweat accumulated onto my forehead, and I knew that the god damn newscast decided to invade my personal family problems. Fucking great. Shit.

"Uh... What about the news?" I asked, seriously afraid. No. No no no no no. Sighing angrily, Rachel took her petite arm up onto my neck. Going to my collar, she pulled down my collar to show a big bruise on my neck. Eyes wide, all three girls gasped. Pulling the collar back to my neck, I quickly covered with, "Uh, that's just a hickey!" surprising even myself.

Brittany and Quinn looked at me with doubt and confusion, until Rachel interrupted the quite awkward silence. "No, that's not. This is a hickey," said the girl, pulling her collar down, and showing off her obvious love bite. Tears started welling up in my eyes, and my body shaking with sadness and fright.

A/N Okay guys, there ya go! Sorry it's so short, the next one'll be longer, and super awesome. I'm already sort of constructing to story line for it, so it'll be done soon! (And yes, Actually soon. Not like last time). :) Ok, see ya next chapter!
