Santana held Rachel as she cried, singing softly hoping it would soothe the girl but right now all Rachel could do was cry, internally she knew she shouldn't be trusting Santana but surely by now word will have gotten out and her phone hadn't buzzed or rang once.
"You know when I lost my brother I never thought I would stop crying, it hurt to breathe, I blamed myself for his death even though deep down I knew it wasn't my fault" Santana explained handing her a tissue.
"Rreally?" Rachel hiccuped looking up with those big brown eyes that made Santana's heart melt and stomach do flips.
She nodded.
"I ccame to his funeral" the brunette confessed wiping her eyes.
"You did?" the latina was shocked.
Rachel nodded smiling at the picture of the siblings hung above Santana's bed, it was taken just before Damion was diagnosed with Leukaemia on holiday in Hawaii, the two were in the villa pool Damoin had Santana on his shoulders as the girl held a water gun both of them laughing.
Smiling at the memory Santana realised she was still holding Rachel's hand causing them both to blush and move apart but after some silence Santana spoke up.
"Look Rachel I know you still probably don't trust me which you have every right not to but I am truly sorry for everything, I'm going to be speaking to Quinn and the other about no longer torturing you not because of what happened today but because you don't deserve it, you've never done anything wrong to us, I am still healing from losing Damion so I know exactly how you're feeling so since you will be living with us I think it is time we buried the hatchet and helped each other heal" Santana ranted her whole body feeling like it was a furness with how Rachel looked at her.
Giggling she responded, "That right there was a Berry Rant haha, I think that is an amazing idea Santana or is it Tana now?"
Blushing Santana playfully pushed Rachel who looked at the latina shocked, pushing back a little too hard Santana fell of the bed with a loud thud bursting into fits of laughter at the horrified look on Rachel's face, hearing her mother coming up the stairs she quickly dove back onto the bed pretending to be texting.
"Santana Maria, what was that bang?" Gloria asked looking worriedly around the room.
"What bang Mami, I didn't hear nothing old age is making you crazy" she joked laughing when her mother smacked her with a tea towel.
"Cheeky puta" Gloria scolded.
Rachel watched the mother and daughter tease one another not realising that her bottom lip was quivering, her and Daddy used to tease each other all the time about everything from his lack of ability to cook to her height but now that was just a memory, she'd never hear them laughing again or singing song in the morning as they cooked or seeing their faces light up when she performed, come graduation all her peers parents would be there crying with joy but she wouldn't see her Fathers.
"Aww Rachie sweetie sshh" Gloria pulled the now sobbing again girl into a hug looking at Santana with sad eyes.
"Mami, I'm going to make a quick phone call can you stay with her for a while?" she asked kissing her mothers cheek before leaving and pulling out her phone dialling a familiar number.
"Hello?" A voice came on the other end sounding concerned.
"Shelby..."
UH-OH How's Rachel going to respond? Review Review Review Please xxxxxxxxxxx
