Chapter Four:
Just Say Okay

Santana's POV

When I entered the bathroom, she was already applying hair dye and motioned me over to help. I couldn't believe she worked so fast. It must be the reason why He values her so much more than most of of us. "Can you get the back for me? My hair is too long for me to reach."

"Umm...sure. Red? You're going to look really weird. What's this for anyways?"

"I'm missing and I don't want anybody to recognize me." I laughed out loud by accident. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing...it's just that...well nobody is going to think you're somebody else with that nose. There's no way they wouldn't be able to recognize you."

"Shut up. There is nothing I can do about my nose right now. I'll take care of it in New York."

"What...no I didn't mean that. Don't go changing yourself. Besides, won't a nose job, like, change your voice or something?" I asked. Isn't that why she didn't get one earlier in the year.

"It might, it's a very small chance though. Even if it did it doesn't really matter. I've got things that are more important than Broadway. That dream is long gone." There wasn't even a tiny hint of sadness. She sounded so cold about it and it sent chills down my spine. Not the good kind either.

"Oh. I always had hope for you. I thought you would make it to Broadway and get the hell outta of here."

"Well thanks for believing in me. Are you almost done back there? We need to get going soon."

"Yeah. You just have to wait a little while before you can rinse out your hair."

"Aww...look at your brother and sister. They're just so cute." She said pointing behind me. I turned my head to see them both huddled together, passed out against the bathroom wall. A small smile made it's way to my mouth, but disappeared when I realized I had a lot to explain to them tomorrow.

"Thanks Rachel, for helping me out this much. You really didn't have to."

"Yes I did. That's what friends are for." After that we just stood in silence until it was time to rinse her hair. I lied when I said she would look weird. She actually managed to pull off the bright red hair pretty well.

No POV

By the time the plane took off it was past midnight. It was going to be a long day once we landed.

"Come on guys. You gotta wake up so we can go." Santana urged trying to wake her brother and sister. "Get up already, please."

The two finally roused and the group of four left the bathroom to catch their flight. After settling in their seats, Marie and Jesus in the seats in front of them, Santana and Rachel began to talk of what they would do when they landed.

"We'll be meeting up with my brother Jason. He knows everything and is more than willing to help." Rachel said while shooting off a quick text before shutting her phone off. "We'll stay with him in his appartment for a couple of months before getting our own to create our own base. Understand? I can explain futher once we are in a more private area..."

Santana nodded in understanding. Then she opened her mouth to ask a question before shutting it quickly. Then she opened it again. "When did you get a brother? I mean, everyone thinks you're an only child and I just can't believe you lied to me. I thought we already knew everything about each other. I thought I could trust you and knew you. That's why I came with you, because you said we were in this together. But it feels like it's one thing after another with you. A door opens only to find there's just another behind it."

"Santana! What the hell are you on about?" Rachel whisper-shouted in shock of what Santana said.

"I'm sorry, I'm just - I don't - I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. I do trust you, I just didn't know and what I don't know scares me, okay?" Santana hung her head low. She didn't really know why she freaked out like she did.

"Well okay then... to answer your question, I am an only child. I met Jason at show once. He loved Broadway as much as I did. We began to talk all the time through skype, facebook, and texting. He quickly became an older brother to me and we told each other everything. "

Santana still didn't understand why Rachel hadn't told her earlier. She also didn't understand why the now-red head was lying to her. Rachel's voice was slightly higher than usual and was a tell-tale sign of her lying and being nervous.

Instead of pointing it out though, Santana simply said okay before suggesting they all take a nap while they could. It wasn't long before they were all drifting off and right before Santana could fall asleep, Rachel rested her head against Santana's shoulder and clung to her arm as if it were a teddy bear. Santana smiled a bit at Rachel's cuteness before shaking the thought from her head and nodding off.
