Here it is! The confrontation! It may not be what everyone might have hoped for, but remember there are reasons for there reactions. Thanks again for all the alerts & amazing reviews! They make me all giddy inside! I seriously apologize if there are mistakes. I typed this up on my iPhone so bare with me.

anywhoooo on with the story(:

Santana went into the kitchen grabbing the cordless house phone off the counter. Luckily when arrived at home her father and mother weren't home yet.

In a weird sense it was funny because Santana hadn't used the house phone since she moved in two years ago, but because she lost her cell phone last night she had no choice. She pushed a few buttons before leaning on the wall as she waited for them to pick up on the other side.

"Hi, Can you put me through to Andres Lopez please." Santana picked at her lip with her finger out of habit and nerves.

"May I ask who is calling?" the female voice asked.

"It's his daughter."

"Of course. One moment please."The lady said politely.

Santana began to chew the inside of her cheek as the nerves rose in her body. The Latina sat for about 30 seconds before she heard the line crackle.

"Santana? Mija?" Andre's voice was urgent.

"Hi Papi" Santana whispered.

"Mija, where are you? Are you okay? " Andres words were rushed but his voice remained calm. That was the difference between Santana's mother and her father. Andres rarely raised his voice and if he did it wasn't something you wanted to witness.

"Im fine. I'm at home." Santana's voice was small, with shame. "Are you mad at me?" Santana said childlike. She hated disappointing her father. He was the most important person in the world to her, and to see him worry over her was something that didn't sit well with Santana.

Andres let out a long sigh "Mija, you know I could never be mad at you. I just don't understand why you would scare me half to death like this." His usually strong clear voice sounded broken and fragile.

"I'm sorry." It came out in a shaky sigh. "I never meant to scare you. I just was so angry at Mami and needed to get away from it."

"I understand that Mija, but where did you go?" Andres asked.

"I ehhh, went - " Santana struggled. She would say she was with Quinn but she was sure her father had already called and found out she was In Tribeca.

"We just found a new lead in the Dragon case." a tall male peeked his head into Andres office, interrupting the father, daughter conversation. "Ok, I'll be there in a minute." Andres held up his index finger. "Look, Mija I have to go" he huffed. "But I want to talk about this when I get home. You got that?"

"Got it" Santana blew a sigh a relief. She had time to come up with a reasonable story.

"Get some sleep Mija. I know you must be tired."

"Yes sir"

"Oh, and Mija? Please stay put." Andre's voice was serious.

"I will Papi." Santana said solemnly.

"Promise me Santana."

Santana was confused. She said she would "I promise "Her voice rose higher as she tried to convince her father she would stay true to her word.

"Okay, I love you Mija"

"Love you to" the Latina said before her father hung up.

The line hummed in Santana's ear for a moment before she pushed the end button placing it back up on the hook, and making her way upstairs. She heard her mom and Antonio talking in the living room, so she quickly slipped past them. She didn't want to talk to anyone right now. All she wanted to do was sleep and wake up hoping the last 24 hours were all a dream.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Santana woke up a few hours later when she felt slender fingers stroking through her hair. Her eye lids drifted open to see blonde hair cascading down in front of her face. She saw the tan arm it belonged to and knew it was Kalli.

"Hey there Runaway" Kalli smiled still stroking her girlfriends hair. Her voice was soft. A tired smile crept onto Santana's face. She didn't say anything her eyes just shifted as she looked up at Kalli. Santana was quiet as she focused on the blondes face. She didn't know why but there was this pang feeling of disappointment and instant guilt. Maybe it was because for a minute she hoped it was a different blonde with a certain pair of blue eyes looking back at her instead of green ones.

"What time is it?" Santana croaked as she sat up.

"Almost 6" Kalli replied never taking her eyes off her girlfriend. Her hand just kept on stroking the brunette's hair softly.

"You scared me Santana." Kalli's smile faded, and her voice grew quite.

"I'm sorry." Santana felt like she was going to be saying that a lot today.

"Why did you lie to me about leaving with Quinn?" the blonde kept her eyes on her girlfriend. Santana had never lied before to Kalli, so why now?

Santana shrugged "Honestly I have no idea" Her voice was low "I didn't feel like myself. I didn't want my mom here. I didn't want her fiancé here. I didn't want to be Santana." She sniffed as she spoke slower than usual.

Kalli's face turned dreary, Hearing her usually happy girlfriend speak like this. It confused her.

"Hey look at me." Kalli tried to catch Santana's eyes with her own. Santana continued looking down at her hands, knowing she would feel instant guilt if she looked in her girlfriends eyes, but Kalli persisted. using her index finger lifting Santana's face to the same level as hers. Santana did her best to look away from Kalli but Kalli placed her face in front of Santana's where she left the brunette with no alternative.

"You, Santana, are one of the strongest people I know" Kalli put emphasis on her girlfriends name "Your sweet, kind, loving, and a bad ass. Which is hard for a lot of people to pull off" Kalli smiled. "You are all those things and so much more. Sometimes I wish I could be like you!" Kalli giggled at the last sentence. "If you weren't you Santana, then I wouldn't be me, Kalli. You've made me into this person I am today. And you know what that is? A girl who loves you" Kalli used the back of her hand to sweetly caress Santana's cheek.

Santana felt a tear roll down her cheek as she stared into those green eyes. The one's she told herself she could never look at again, which was turning out to be true. Santana felt her heart break as the green eyes stared back. As if they were looking through her. The guilt built up in Santana's body making more tears flow from her chocolate eyes.

"Babe, why are you crying" Kalli used her thumbs to wipe the tears but her fingers couldn't keep up with how fast the tears were flowing.

"Did something happen to you last night?" the blonde's voice was sympathetic.

Santana grabbed Kalli's wrist as Kalli's hands rested on the Latinas wet cheeks."I'm so sorry" Santana was sobbing at this point. "You mean so much to me." Santana's hands gripped tighter onto Kalli's wrist trying to convince Kalli and herself. "I'm just sorry" Santana exhaled deeply. But she still felt like she couldn't breathe. As much as she wanted to tell Kalli about Brittany she couldn't allow herself to break the other girl's heart.

"I know" Kalli smiled placing her forehead against the brunettes making their noses touch, her thumbs still stroking tan cheeks.

"Why do you think I've waited so long?" Kalli joked, but little did she know the irony of the situation. "I think you've done enough crying today."

Santana nodded against her girlfriends forehead.

"Why don't you wipe you face and freshen up while I go downstairs and talk to your mom. You don't want her to know you were crying. Right?" Kalli joked.

Santana let out a soft laugh. Kalli leaned in pressing a soft kiss to Santana's lips. The Latina's head didn't move. She didn't lean in. She just let it happen. It still didn't feel right, but Kalli didn't notice how Santana didn't kiss back.

"Oh, almost forgot." Kalli reached in her pocket pulling out a device. "Here you go" she placed a white iPhone in Santana's hand.

"Where did you find it?" Santana's asked, looking up.

"When I went back to the park to look for you, I found it on the ground by the drink stand."

Kalli said simply. Santana blew a quiet sigh of relief. "Thanks" Kalli just nodded before she made her way towards the bedroom door. "No more crying. Okay?" Kalli said turning around one last time, before closing the door making her way downstairs.

Santana blew out a heavy breathe as one last tear rolled down her cheek. She took the heel of her hand and quickly wiped it away.

"I'm done" Santana stated with determination to herself. She was don't crying. She was done, feeling guilty, and she was done thinking about Brittany. Maybe..

"It's over and done, and I'm moving on" she tried to convince herself as she walked around to her dresser to look at herself in the mirror, the image staring back was a confused broken little girl, or that's at least how Santana felt. Shaking the thought from her head she began to brush her hair sweeping it into a neat bun, when her phone buzzed. She unlocked her screen noticing the red bubble that said 47 missed calls and another bubble that said 16 unread text messages. She scrolled upward noticing the new text message that made her phone vibrate from an unknown number.

Hey, hope you got home safely! I still think you should have let me walk you, lol. Hope your night was as amazing as mine(: I really would like to see you again, maybe hang out? XOXO, -Brittany

A small smile crept onto Santana's face. Before she could even think her fingers were tapping away at the keyboard. She shouldn't reply but her conscious had other plans.

Hey Brit! I'm home safe and sound. Thanks for checking! Shows you really do care! Lol, And my night was beyond amazing(: you know that. -Santana

A content smile was on the Latina's face but it quickly faded when she thought about the company she had waiting for her downstairs. As she turned her doorknob to head downstairs her phone vibrated once again stating she had one new text message.

I just think your amazing ^_^ -Brittany

Santana let out a defeated sigh. Why did everyone suddenly feel like telling her how amazing she was lately, when she felt like absolute crap. This day was not getting any easier.

Thanks(: Brittany, you're not so bad yourself. Have a GoodNight. -Santana

Santana locked her phone placing it in her back pocket of her jeans as she stepped down the metal staircase. She heard her father's voice which surprisingly calmed her nerves down a bit.

"Hi Papi" Santana said sheepishly stepping of the last step.

"Hey Mija" Andres walked over to his daughter wrapping her in a warm hug.

"I'm happy your home safe." he spoke against the Latinas hair.

Santana inhaled deeply taking in the scent of her father. "I'm sorry" the Latina mumbled into her father's chest again. She was really tired of saying she was sorry, but she didn't know what else to say. The shame Santana felt was indescribable. She knew she didn't deserve all the care she was receiving right now, especially from Kalli.

"I know, Mija" Andres rested his chin on his daughters head while he rocked with Santana in a comfortable embrace. Kalli watched from the Kitchen bar.

"You want to tell me where you've been now?" Andres pulled back to look down at his daughter.

"I uhh "

"She spent the night at the Park Central hotel across the street from the park" Antonio appeared in the hands rested in his pockets of his crisp slack pants. Kalli and Andres looked at Santana with confusion.

Santana's mouth gaped open. " I - I -"

Antonio quickly shut the Latina girl up by interrupting her again "I found her late last night walking in the park and offered her a room to stay in at the hotel."

Eva emerged from behind Antonio "What? You never told me that? "Eva questioned him.

"I told you to call me, last night if you found her." Eva was glaring at her fiancé.

Santana looked at Antonio, saying thank you with her eyes. He noticed and did a slight nod with his head gesturing back your welcome.

"I thought Santana already told you" Antonio's face twisted with confusion.

"No she didn't." Eva now glared at her daughter. Antonio squeezed his wife's shoulders from behind before she began whining about something else. Probably wedding invitations are something. Santana ignored her mother's gaze making her way over to her girlfriend.

"You sure your ok?" Kalli jumped down from the bar stool.

"I'm sure" Santana nodded with a faint smile that matched her girlfriends.

"As much as I would love to stay and keep making sure your ok and maybe have a little one on one time" Kalli whispered into the Latinas ear taking a quick nibble. Santana winced uncomfortably shifting her head away from her girlfriend causing Kalli to back off awkwardly. "I have to go, but call me if you need anything" she finished her sentence a little taken back.

Kalli began looking in her purse for her keys as she spoke. "Are you still coming to my performance Friday?" Kalli looked up from her purse.

"This Friday?" Santana had completely forgotten. Santana never missed one of Kalli's performances being that she was a pretty well known local singer.

"Yes, this Friday" Kalli slumped with a small pout. "You said you would be there!" her voice squeaked.

"I will, I will" Santana tried to calm the other girl down.

"Good! You know I feel better when you're there!" Kalli beamed. " It starts at 8. It's at that new Bar and grill called Pierce." Kalli wrote down the address on a stray piece of paper then slid it over to Santana. "Don't be late" Kalli said in a pleading tone before pecking Santana on the mouth before she could pull away "I'll see you later " she waved to Andres as she closed the front door.

"Pierce?" Santana repeated to herself twirling the paper with her finger on the counter. She didn't know why but the name had a familiar ring to it.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Brittany ambushed her way through the heavy wooden hotel room door as she dropped her overweight dance bag on the floor. She let out a grunt as she tried her best to move it to the side with her foot. With no luck she blew a heavy sigh making her long blonde bangs flow upward from the wind. She tossed her car keys on the mantle that hung from the wall, ignoring the dance bag that now sat on the floor. When she turned around her eyes immediately drifted to the spacious bed. It was still unmade from the night before with Santana. A sweet smile escaped her lips as the memories fled into her mind. If she had the power to rewind time she would relive it again, and wouldn't change one detail. Brittany walked slowly towards the bed, taking a seat on the edge, lightly grazing her hand over the soft sheets when she felt a slight bump. Brittany reached under the sheet discovering a tiny necklace that had a small diamond dove hanging from the chain. She remembered seeing in on Santana neck last night. The dove sparkled as it dangled from the blondes slender fingers in the sunlit room leaving a calm smile on the blonde's face as she watched the dove swing back and forth on the chain. Last night wasn't a new experience more like a different experience for Brittany. She had sex with plenty of girls before but last night actually involved feelings for the blonde. She usually didn't do the whole feelings thing because someone would eventually always get hurt in the end, but with Santana she felt differently, like she could trust her. She felt as though she met Santana a lifetime ago that there meeting yesterday wasn't the first time that they had met. Now that Brittany had Santana's necklace it gave her an actual reason to see the Latina again. Brittany jolted from her thoughts when her phone began to ring.

"I like my beats fast and my bass down low, bass, bass, down low" rang from her phones speakers.

"Hello" Brittany answered

"Britt-Brat" The husky deep voice was jolly.

"Hey daddy" Brittany beamed.

The blonde loved the nickname her father had given her when she was little.

"Are you back at the hotel?"

"Yes sir, I just got out of rehearsal" she absent mindly played with the sheets after she placed the necklace on the bedside Table. "How are things going at the grill?"

"Great, that's what I was calling about actually. They just finished putting in the stage and lights, and tomorrow there coming do the sound and speakers so everything should be ready by Friday" He assured his daughter.

"Sounds good!" the blonde leaned back stretching out with her face towards the ceiling. "I still can't believe I'm dancing for Kalli Morgan at the opening of your grill!" Brittany was getting excited just thinking about it.

"It's Our grill Britt. It's called pierce for a reason." he corrected his daughter.

Brittany just giggled.

"Oh, and speaking of things being ready. They just finished the last touches on the loft so were good to move in!"

"Really? Finally!" Brittany cheered. The dancer and her father Brennan Pierce, had been staying in the hotel for about two weeks while the construction on their loft had been taking place.

Brittany's father knowing his daughter was 17 and wanted privacy he stayed in a separate room about two doors down from his daughter, while they were staying at the park central hotel. "Yes, so have your stuff ready by tomorrow."

Brittany heard an employee call her dad's name in the background.

"I've got to go Britt-brat I'll see you tonight, I love you" The gruff voice said in a loving tone.

"Love you too dad" she hung up the phone with a content smile on her face.

The blonde rolled over on her side looking at the bedside table where the dove continued to sparkle from the sun rays. She liked how everything seemed to be falling into place, ironically as everything seemed to be falling out of place for a certain Latin brunette. But soon everything would fall together .. Somewhere.

Hope you enjoyed! Lol, a lot will go down at the opening of the grill! You guys better be ready(;
