"So...you and Quinn."

Santana's head snaps up when Mike breaks the silence.

They've been sitting in Mike's dorm in silence for so long now. Santana had needed someone to talk to about everything that happen with Rachel and Quinn yesterday. Mike was kind of her last option but Santana's glad that he is an option. And not a bad one either. He's someone who knows all the girls but don't know them enough to assume anything and is able to listen and hear with a clear and clean point of view.

Of course Quinn is the person she really wanted to talk to but that's not going to happen. Now not only does she need someone to talk to about Rachel, but also Quinn. It hasn't even been two whole days and Quinn is already putting distance between them. And it sucks. They should be facing this together, Instead Santana feels all alone.

"Yes." Santana confirms quietly. "Rachel found of yesterday."

Mike eyes widen. "Oh shit."

"Right."

"So like how...what happened?."

Flashback

Santana had showed up at Quinn's dorm twenty minutes ago demanding to go with her to meet Rachel. They argued all the way to the cafe. Quinn thought it was best if she went alone. Santana said there was no point, Rachel knows and they should face her together.

Now Santana walks next to Quinn with nothing but uncertainty. She had wanted to have a conversation with Quinn before they met Rachel but that didn't happen.

Santana and Quinn walk into the cafe side by side, not touching.

Rachel doesn't look surprised at all to see them together. Rachel has a good poker face going on right now.

No greetings are exchanged. Quinn slides into the booth across from Rachel, and Santana follows.

"Hey." Santana whispers after they sit in silences for longer then she'd like.

Rachel rolls her eyes and focuses on Quinn. "Santana?"

Quinn doesn't respond.

"You're sleeping with my little sister?"

"I'm not jus..." Quinn tries to explain.

"I can't believe this." Rachel cuts her off. "I mean...I knew something happened with you guys a few months ago but..." Rachel shakes her head. "I thought it was a one time thing. You know, whatever it was...is. I thought you guys fought then made up. I thought it was over."

"It's not." Santana shakes her head.

Rachel still hasn't looked at her. Rachel focus is only on Quinn.

"How long have you guys been sleeping together behind my back?"

Santana rolls her eyes. Rachel is so dramatic.

"Rachel..."

"Hush Santana." Rachel snaps. "How long, Quinn?"

Quinn sighs and finally makes eye contact with Rachel. "Like...almost two years."

Rachel's eyes widen. "Two years?!" She shrieks out. "Tell me you are just kidding. Two years, really?"

"Rachel calm the fuck down." Santana demands when people start to look over at their booth.

"No! I will not calm down. Forgive me if I'm not reacting to the news the way you would like. It's not every day that I find out that my best friend has been screwing around with my little sister for TWO FUCKING YEARS behind my back." Rachel hisses. "I mean you guys didn't even try to tell me. I had to figure it out on my own. Really, Quinn?"

"Stop attacking her, Rachel." Santana growls.

"Just let her talk, Santana." Quinn snaps at Santana. "It's fine."

"No it's not."

"Just shut up, Santana!" Rachel yells.

Santana jumps in shock and then glares at Rachel, but stays silent.

They go back to the staring game.

Rachel shakes her head after a few minutes. "I can't deal with this right now..."

"Rachel..." Quinn reaches out, a failed attempt to stop Rachel from getting up.

"I have class." Rachel pauses, her mouth opening and closing as if she's going to add something. In the end she just rolls her eyes and walks away from the table and out of the cafe.

Santana looks over to see Quinn with her head down, a defeated look on her face.

"Hey...it's going to be okay." Santana rests her hand on Quinn thigh. She feels it tense up but Quinn doesn't try to get away from her touch.

"You need to get to class." Quinn slides out of the booth.

"Quinn."

"Go to class, Santana."

"Class can wait. We should talk ab..."

"I don't feel like fucking talking." Quinn slaps the table. "Just go to fucking class."

Santana just stares at Quinn for a minute before she nods once and silently slides from booth.

Santana gets a few steps outside the dinner before she feels a hand wrap around her elbow.

"San..."

Santana feels the tears at the corner of her eyes but she refuses to let them come out. She doesn't turn around as Quinn lets go of her elbow to wrap her arms around her from the behind.

"I'm sorry." Quinn rest her head against Santana's.

"It's fine, Quinn."

"It's not." Quinn kisses the side of her face. "I'll call you later."

Santana turns around to look at Quinn. Quinn looks like a kicked puppy. Santana has a feeling that she won't be hearing from Quinn tonight. But she still nods and kisses her goodbye.

End of flashback.

That was the last time Santana talked to Rachel or Quinn. Rachel ignored her and went straight to her room when Santana got in from school yesterday.

Quinn worked at the dinner last night and texted after claiming she was tired and was going to just crash. Santana let her be for the night. But when she called Quinn this morning, the call went straight to voicemail and her texted unanswered, Santana knew she was being ignored.

"Yea...so Rachel is acting like her world is falling apart and Quinn is being her usual douche self." Santana huffs.

Mike raises an eyebrow at the way Santana just described her sister and girlfriend. He doesn't comment on it though.

"I'm sorry for dumping all my drama on you. I just needed someone to talk to."

"It's fine." Mike shrugs. "Do you think Rachel is really upset or just being...well Rachel."

Santana shrugs. "Both. I mean I understand her being upset but she hasn't even given us a chance to explain. It's not all just black and white. It's not like Quinn and I jumped into a relationship and just said we are going to hide it from Rachel. It was way more complicated then that. It's still complicated."

Mike nods. "What about Quinn? Don't you think she's going to come around? Maybe she just needs to process all this. Quinn has always seemed to me like the closed off type when it comes to feelings. I don't know..."

Santana takes in his words. It's crazy how obvious it is to everyone that Quinn doesn't do emotions. "I guess she will. I don't know..." Santana decides to share her feelings with Mike. "I mean...nothing is never easy with Quinn. You're right...she can be closed off and a jackass when it comes to confronting things that scare her or anything she's not sure about."

"You don't think she's sure about you?"

"I don't..." Santana sighs. "I know she loves me but..."

Santana knows how important Quinn's relationship with Rachel is to the blond. Quinn is a only child with not the best relationship with her parents. Plus she didn't have the easiest time in high school and going through puberty. Being a girl with a male part was hard for her. Quinn never talked to Santana about it but Santana remembers how Rachel would cut down anyone who wanted to say anything sideways to her best friend. Quinn has always had Rachel to confide in or just be there when Quinn needed someone. They are best friends and their relationship is important to Quinn. Maybe more important then Santana can even imagine. There is still so much about Quinn she doesn't know. It's not that doesn't want to. It's just Quinn is so emotionally blocked...it's just going to take time. Santana is just hoping they still have that time. That Quinn isn't going to push her away.

"But?" Mike probes when Santana goes quiet.

"I'm just scared that this thing with Rachel will set us back. Rachel's her best friend. If she's mad at her...I don't know what Quinn will do."

Mike nods. "I see." He looks down at his watch. "We'll look...I have to go meet Tina but you are welcome to stay as long as you want. Just lock the door on your way out."

Santana nods and thank him. Mike hesitates for just a second before pulling Santana into a hug.

"For what it's worth...I've seen the way Quinn looks at you." Mike squeezes Santana and then let's go. "Yea...you guys wasn't that good at hiding it. I didn't know how deep it was but yea..." He scratches the back of his head. "Anyway...I can tell she really cares about you. I'm sure she won't stay away for too long."

Santana thanks him again before being left alone.

Santana is woken when her phone goes off for the third time. The first two times she wished away the ringing and continued to sleep but now she's up because someone is persistent.

"Yeah?" Santana answers without looking at the screen.

"Hey." Quinn's quiet voice comes through the line. "Where are you?"

"What?" Santana asks sleepy. "I'm...why?"

"I'm at your place. I wanted to talk."

Santana takes the phone away from her face to check the time. 6pm. Rachel is still at work, that's the only reason why Quinn is daring to be at their place.

"I'll be there in like fifteen minutes."

"I'll be here."

Santana starts to hang up but then, "I love you Quinn. "

"I know." Quinn sighs. "I love you too."

"I'm on my way. Bye."

Santana sits there for a few minutes before getting up, gathering her school bag and purse before making her way back to her apartment. Hopefully she and Quinn can actually have a decent conversation and then maybe talk to Rachel afterwards.
