Chapter 14:

When Brittany and Santana finally exited the deserted classroom, everybody but Quinn had left. Quinn was sat awkwardly in the choir room alone and distraught. When Quinn saw Santana and Brittany she stood up reluctantly and glided over to the pair. "Brittany… I… I'm really sorry-" "Please Quinn… don't… I don't want your apologies, all I want is to make one thing clear… Lord Tubbington will never forgive you…ever." Quinn shook her head slowly, fighting the urge to laugh at Brittany's utter madness. Quinn caught Santana's eye, smiling slightly. She noticed Santana's slightly tear stained cheeks and blood shot eyes, she must have been crying a lot. There was an awkward silence between the trio, which Santana breaks by saying, "Umm… well Britt uh we'll talk more on the phone…right? Let's go Quinn!" "Okay uh Bye San… bye… Quinn."

Santana and Quinn slowly walked out the room and Santana took a last glance towards Brittany as they exited. Once they were out in fresh air, Quinn let out a deep breath taking in the crisp Ohio air. "You okay?" Santana asked her sniffing loudly. Quinn looked up at Santana and nodded placing her face in her palm sighing deeply. Santana just nodded towards her and patted her on the back. "So how are we gonna get home? Sam's took his car and bolted… I guess we're kinda stuck." Quinn looks deep into Santana's eyes then looks away, "Not exactly, we can go to my Mom's house… If you like?" Santana blushes beneath her tanned skin. "Your Mom? Does she… Uh like me?" Quinn laughed in spite of her sorrow. "Of course she does silly! Why would you think she doesn't?" She giggled immaturely. "She just never acted all that friendly towards me… Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!" Quinn shrugged trying to bring back memories of Santana going to her house… she couldn't conjure up any… well Santana never really came to her house, only once or twice, she was always at Brittany's house. "I don't know what you're talking about Santana, I'm pretty sure my mom adores you! In fact…whoa there she has a crush on you! God Santana of course she likes you!" Santana glared and Quinn but sighed following Quinn down the sidewalk.

When the pair arrived at Quinn's old house they were greeted with hugs and kisses from Mrs Fabray. "Hello Quinny! I didn't know you were stopping by! Was it the reunion?" She ended her rush of speech with a large grin. Quinn smiled and squeezed her mom tightly. "Well… we don't have anywhere to stay… Uh it's a long story but… we don't have any means of transport so…" Mrs Fabray nodded her fixed smile twitching. "Oh okay my dear… Hi Santana." She winced as she said Santana's name.

Santana didn't have time for haters, what was the point in wasting your time on people who didn't like you when there were plenty of people out there who did like you?

Santana pulled Quinn aside and angrily whispered, "I'm not staying here your Mom doesn't like me! I'm sorry Quinn but I can't okay?" Quinn frowned shrugging.

"She never said she didn't like you San…and besides we'll be up in my room like the whole time… come on its not like I'm asking you to share a bed with the women! There are no trains back to New Haven at this time and there aren't any good hotels in Lima so… what do you suppose we do?" Santana grumbled and followed Quinn up to her room. There was only one bed. Santana scanned the room for a mattress or bed of some kind.

"Quinn where am I sleeping?"

"With me."

"Oh…"

"Don't sound so horrified… I don't bite… now here borrow some of my old pyjamas."

Santana slipped in to some of Quinn's old flowery pyjamas frowning down at the girly outfit.

"Oh it's not that bad… just get in to bed and go to sleep we've both had a long day."

Quinn was acting like Santana's mother which annoyed her greatly, but she did as she was told. She clambered in to Quinn's bed nervously, as she watched Quinn slip into some old pyjamas patterned with…penguins.

Santana found it hard to settle, especially due to all the events that went on in the day. She and Brittany had agreed to have a break in their relationship… it's not what Santana wanted or Brittany for that matter but it's what they thought was best. Even if that's what they both decided, Santana still couldn't quite get to grips with not being with Brittany. What had happened with Quinn was… awful, embarrassing…but amazing. She felt like her and Quinn had a connection and no matter what nobody could break it. But her and Quinn would never ever be together for many reasons, 1 being Quinn was STRAIGHT, 2 Quinn had Sam… or at least she did…, 3 Even though Quinn kissed Santana… she still didn't seem to have any feelings at all for Santana.

It just wasn't going to work… Santana thought about it carefully, did she have any feelings for Quinn at all? Maybe, she didn't know. It always took Santana a while before she could figure out her feelings, like with Brittany, it took years before she realised how she felt about her.

Santana finally drifted off to sleep, Quinn's arms draped around her and head pressed against her back. This really wasn't helping Santana's feelings.

In the morning Santana woke up in an awkward position, her head crooked, her back crushed by Quinn's head and her arms pressed against her chest, being crushed by Quinn's arms. She carefully shifted Quinn's arms off of her and pushed her head onto the pillow feeling relaxed suddenly. She slammed her head against the pillow attempting to get another hour or two of sleep. Quinn's bedroom door suddenly began to creak open, Santana didn't move a muscle, terrified, she knew who it would be… Quinn's mom.

Her Mom crept in and was horrified as she saw the girls… sharing a bed! They were adults now, not little children having a slumber party! She thought Quinn would have enough sense to bring out a mattress for Santana to sleep on but no… they were sharing a bed! She found it inappropriate and confusing. What had they got up to last night while she was asleep? She noticed Santana's eyes flicker open.

"Oh good morning…Santana. Is Quinn awake?"

"Oh…Hi… No she's not… she usually sleeps till right in to the afternoon."

Quinn's mom suddenly had a horrifying thought, how did Santana know she slept into the afternoon? She'd only know if she slept with her?

"Oh okay… well I'll be going… please can you wake Quinn and tell her to start packing up… I'll take you girls home after breakfast."

"Sure…" Santana gave Quinn a light shove hissing, "Wake up! Quinn get your ass out of bed now!"

Quinn blinked open her eyes, rubbing them softly.
"Oh hi Santana, did you have a good sleep?"

"That doesn't matter, your mom says to pack your bags… she's taking us home after breakfast…"

"Oh that's short notice… okay I'll start packing, not that there's much to pack…"

After twenty minutes of shoving things into the girl's purses and shoving toast into their mouths they hopped in Miss Fabray's car.

The journey was a long one and very awkward seen as nobody said a word. Once they had arrived at Quinn's apartment, Quinn gave her mom a quick kiss then dragged Santana up to the door. Miss Fabray watched as Quinn flirtilly winked at Santana and tapped her on the ass, grabbing her hand and swinging it back and forth. Miss Fabray was horrified, why was her innocent daughter acting like this? She drove off quickly, too disgusted to carry on watching the girls.

Once the pair got in the house they collapsed on the sofa feeling relieved to be at home at last… they both relaxed on the sofa for a well deserved nap….
