The news of Ms. Pillsbury's death had shocked everyone. No one was inclined to leave the hotel room but they were all worried by the fact that Santana and Mr. Shue still hadn't returned.

Holly felt a constant pain when she thought of Will. When he heard he completely fell apart. He was now refusing to see anyone.

She stood up and looked around the suite there was ten sleeping bags huddled together in the corner, she didn't want to leave them, but she knew Santana was now alone and all that Emma had wanted was for Holly to look out for her.

She pulled on a hoodie and called a cab. When she got to the hospital, she found Santana sitting on the wall outside. She had the same clothes on and looked ten times as worse as the day before.

"What the hell are you doing out here alone!" she began to yell but stopped when she saw Santana's pained expression.

"Sorry" she said as she sat down next to her "I've got to work on my bedside manner"

Santana didn't answer.

"Come on you need a shower" she put her arm round her a directed her to the waiting cab.

The journey back was a quiet one. No one was speaking and they were both seemed to be out of tears. As they walked through the hotel Holly stopped Santana.

"You know, I may not be the most approachable person, but I do care about you all…I care a lot actually, so if you ever need to talk…"

"Thanks" Santana said barely audible, but she smiled to show she appreciated it.

As they entered the room Santana was met by a blonde blur. Brittney pulled Santana into a hug and began to cry.

"I can't believe all of this has happened" Santana rubbed her back, making an effort to comfort her friend.

"I love you San, you're my best friend"

"I love you too B" she said happily, she was glad to be back with her friends. They brought a feeling of happiness and safety, even when they were upset and scared.

Artie rolled up next to Britney and gestured to Santana to give him a huge. It felt completely weird, she had never even had a conversation with him that hadn't resulted in a sarcastic joke.

"I've got you back" he said smiling up at her.

"Thanks Whee…Artie" she smiled, she didn't feel like calling him a name. She didn't want to call any of them names, she was just so happy to see them.

Tina and Mercedes came up next and hugged her.

"You know you could really use a shower" Mercedes said, trying to inject humour into the unfortunate situation.

"Noted" Santana said. They began to laugh, it felt good, she hadn't laughed in a while. They stopped when they realized their situation, all the while feeling a little lighter.

Puck, Finn and Mike came up all patting her on the shoulders.

"We were worried about you" Finn said as he put his arm around her.

"Never do that again Lopez" Puck said as he pulled her into one of his vice grip hugs. She smiled and winced as he let go.

Then she saw Sam, she felt so guilty, they had only broke up a week before. Only because she was so damn self centered and selfish.

He ran up to her and pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry" she cried into his shoulder.

"Don't' apologize…I'm just glad your safe" he rubbed her back soothingly.

"Quinn and Rachel are in the room getting ready if you want to see them" he kissed her on the forehead and let her go.

Santana knocked and walked in to see them talking on the bed. She noticed the bruises on Rachel's face and began to cry. Quinn ran up to her and hugged her, pulling her back to the bed.

"I'm glad that you're ok Santana" Rachel said nervously, she obviously wasn't sure if they were friends yet.

Santana grabbed her and hugged her.

"Thank you so much for what you done…both of you. I will never forget it"

They three girls smiled at each other before Quinn broke the silence.

"Ok that's it Santana Bathroom now!" she said jokingly as she pulled her out the door.
