Chapter 12

Santana's POV

I stirred from my sleep, attempting to turn on to my side but I was halted in my tracks by a body presence to my right and an arm draped over my stomach.

Quinn.

Memories of the night before came rushing back to me. Looking down at Quinn and having her beside me made me automatically relax. I don't know what it is but she just has to be there and everything is better, I can forget the rest of the world for a little while and it's just the two of us.

I sighed and closed my eyes, relaxing in to Quinn's touch that little bit more.

I know I should tell her what's been going on but I'm so scared, I don't know what's going to happen if I tell her about my dad, what will happen to me?

I can't believe she stayed with me the whole night and stayed awake to a ridiculous hour just to make sure I was okay. My own father couldn't even do that, he left without saying a word. He hurt Quinn before he left and that hurt me.

I gingerly raised my left arm, laying it on my stomach beside Quinn's arm, slowly wiggling my fingers from their slumber I took Quinn's in mine, stroking them back and forth, relishing the feeling of her skin on mine. I looked down to Quinn's sleeping form, her head resting on my shoulder with blonde hair splayed over her face as she breathed steadily.

I had no idea what time it was but I had noticed that there were more bodies bustling past the window to my room. The thought of one of those bodies being my dad scared my shitless. I really, really don't want to see him any time soon and I don't want him anywhere near Quinn either.

My attention was brought back to Quinn as she fidgeted beside me and buried her head further in to my neck, her breath tickling my skin. I bit my lip trying the stifle the moan that was about to escape my lips.

There was a soft knock on the door before it slowly opened, I tensed momentarily until I saw the white of Doctor Gerrard's coat.

"Hey Santana."

Not wanting to wake Quinn I just nodded and smiled in response. She walked round to my side of the bed and sat down on the chair. Wanting to avoid any questions from her about my dad I continued to play with Quinn's fingers and look anywhere but Louise.

"How are you feeling?"

I rolled my eyes at that question, I mean c'mon really?

"Just great. Broken arm. Broken ribs. Bruised all over. Just dandy!"

Yes okay I was a little harsh and this is not her fault.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't supposed to come out like that. Or at all really. I suppose under the circumstances I'm okay, I'm alive aren't I?"

"Yes, that is true I suppose but you still went through a lot Santana, your not going to heal from this quickly, physically or mentally. I don't know what happened here Santana but you need to know that you can speak to me about anything and I'll do all that's in my power to help you. And I also know that one beside you will do the same too."

She nodded her head towards Quinn.

"You know she fought tooth and nail to stay with you last night, your really lucky to have somebody like her in your life. You'll want to hold on to this one for as long as possible."

I smiled again at what Louise had said about Quinn.

"Yeah I know, I don't know what I would do without her to be honest with you."

"I hate to tell you but I will have to take her a way for a little while. I told her I would take her home when I finished my shift and that's me finished now. The guard is going to be leaving your door too but if you don't want anybody in particular visiting then just tell me and I'll let reception know. Quinn can come back later on but she should really go home, I would be worrying if my kid disappeared for the night."

I knew she was right but I really didn't want her to leave and as for no visitors I could hardly say that I didn't want my dad 'cause that would raise suspicions.

"No it's ok as long as she can come back later then that's fine. How long am I going to be in here for?"

I went back to playing with Quinn's fingers, scared of what her answer was going to be.

"A couple of days. As long as you rest and everything is healing fine then you can leave. But when you do you have to rest, a couple of days off school and no physical activities. You'll have to come back for your physical therapy for your arm once its healed and the cast is off. You've had a lucky escape Santana, you do know that right?"

I nodded, silent tears rolling down my cheek.

"And whoever did this to you needs to be brought to justice before they get a chance to do anything like this again because next time it could be worse. Just have a think about it Santana."

Again a just nodded and let the tears fall. I knew she was right, god why did she have to be right and why is this so damn hard!

"Right I just need to grab my stuff and I'll come back for Quinn, so I'll leave you to the lovely job of having to wake her up at four in the morning!"

I chuckled at that, she is a bit of a bitch in the mornings. Louise got up from her position and headed out the door, closing it behind her.

Get ready for the wrath that is Quinn in the morning.

"Hey Q? Quinn."

She stirred slightly but not fully. Okay, here goes nothing.

"QUINN!"

That got her. A mass of blonde hair shot up from my shoulder.

"What? What's going on."

The only way to describe her at this moment was a sexy mess… no not sexy. A mess, well no not a mess because she still looks good but no I'm not allowed to have those feelings for my best friend…

But she's still pretty sexy…

"Oh god this is way to early San!"

I was taken out of my sexy thoughts by Quinn flumping back down on to me.

"Yeah I know it is Q but your friend Louise is going to be back in a couple of minutes to take you home. You know if she was a little bit younger I'd say something was going on between you two, late night chats, first name basis, lifts homes."

Her body moved beside mine as she laughed at my comment.

"Oh please, she's so not my type."

Woah wait. She did just say that right? Why can't I see her face right now, I need to see if she is being serious or not!

"I don't want to go San, I need to sleep some more. Too tired."

She buried her head further in to my neck.

"Yeah I know Q I don't want you to go either but you can come back later after you've been to your own bed and had more than a couple of hours sleep. And there is the little problem of your mom, she'll be worried."

Groaning at the mention of her mom she sat up at pouted at me.

Sexy.

Shut up Snix.

"Fine. Okay I'll go. But very reluctantly. You sure your going to be okay though?"

I pushed myself up so I was sitting up against the headboard of my bed.

"I'll be fine and I'm in the right place if something does go wrong."

That earned me a playful slap across the arm.

"San don't joke about things going wrong, now I will worry."

"Well by the looks of things I'll be safer once you have gone, there will be nobody here to slap me! And I'll have the whole bed to myself"

And now I'm getting the Fabray death stare.

"You are so lucky your in that hospital bed or less I would be kicking your ass right now Lopez! And on that note I'm leaving!"

I watched as she swung her legs out of the bed and slipped her feet in to her converse.

"Don't be like that Q. You know I was joking right?"

She kept her back to me as she tied her laces.

"No it's fine, if you don't want me here, I know where the door is"

Oh crap now I've pissed her off. I wiggled my butt closer to the edge of the bed that was nearest to her, balancing myself I stretched my right arm out towards her, eventually I caught a hold of her hoodie, the shock contact making her spin round.

"Shit. Q!"

Catching my outstretched arm, she closed the gap between us, securing me into my bed.

"Jesus San. I was just joking with you, don't do that. I am not watching you fall again. Promise me you wont do that?"

She continued to hold on to my body as my breathing slowed down.

"I promise. I am not wanting to break my other arm too. I was just worried I thought you were being serious with me. I didn't want you to leave like that."

She pulled me into her body and rested her chin on top of my head, her arms encircling my body and her hands rubbing soothing circles on my back.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked with you. And I meant it I'm leaving very reluctantly so don't think I want to be leaving you. If it were possible I would be taking you home with me but I cant so we'll both have to cope for a few hours and then I'll come back to visit for as long as I can."

We stayed in this position until the door opened and Louise walked in.

"Sorry that took so long… Oh am I interrupting something, I'll wait outside."

I reluctantly pulled out of Quinn's hold.

"No it's okay you don't have to, this one better get home for some rest."

Quinn stayed close to me and kept a hold of my hand as Louise walked towards us.

"As I was saying, I'm sorry that took so long but I was bribing the receptionist. I managed to get a hold of your phone from your belongings. Yes you are supposed to be resting so no staying up texting blondie here. Not until you've had another good few hours rest. Got it?"

Louise handed me my phone and I couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you so much. At least now I can text you to let you know that I'm okay to save you worrying. And Angry Birds will save me from boredom setting in!"

Quinn's hand let go of mine but I quickly grabbed it back.

"Hey your not leaving without a hug"

Did I mention her ear to ear smiles are pretty sexy too…

Snix, seriously!

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

She once again pulled me into her body, holding me closely to her. We stayed together just holding on to each other like nothing else mattered in the world.

"I'll be back as soon as I can yeah. And text me if you need me okay. I love you S."

I clung onto her hoodie tighter.

"I love you too Q."

We eventually pulled apart, before she placed a small kiss to my cheek.

"I'll see you soon."

After they both left I lay back down on my bed letting my thoughts take over.

Thinking if my dad would appear again.

Thinking if my mom actually knew that I was in hospital.

And thinking why all of a sudden I found Quinn so god damn sexy!

So eventually another one guys. I know this is going slowly and i would love nothing more than to jump straight into Quinntana for you guys but there would be a bit of a time jump! Hopefully its not going too slowly for you guys!

Please keep letting me know what you guys think of it so keep reviewing!

Adios!
