30. Diary/Journal
Dear Diary
Johnny's party was amazing on Friday night. I told my parents that I was sleeping at Sarah's house. It's an excuse I use all the time and they always believe it. It's not entirely a lie because I do sleep at Sarah's house afterwards. They just think that I'm in my pajamas watching movies when I'm really out dancing, drinking and having fun.
"Santana, what are you doing in Maria's room?" Rachel asks making her wife jump.
"Nothing" Santana replies trying to hide the diary behind her back.
"What's that?"
"What?"
"That thing you're hiding behind your back" Rachel says.
"Oh it's just a book Maria said I could borrow."
"We've been married long enough for me to know when you're lying."
Rachel steps towards her wife and tries to grab the book from behind her back but Santana wouldn't give up that easy.
"Rachel, stop."
Santana struggles against her small but surprisingly strong wife but eventually Rachel grabs the book.
"Santana, you're reading our daughter's diary?" Rachel asks.
"I found it by accident. I really was looking for a book. I saw it and I couldn't help myself" Santana explains.
"You do realize that is an invasion of privacy?"
"Yes I know but I'm glad I did read it now. Did you know she lied to us about staying at Sarah's on Friday?"
"What?" Rachel asks.
"Apparently she fooled us to go to some party at a guy's house."
"Well if she lied about that, what else has she lied about?"
"I don't know that's as far as I got" Santana replies.
"Give me the diary."
"You're right we should put it back" Santana says handing the dairy over to her wife.
"No, I'm going to find out what else our daughter has been doing behind our back."
Rachel sits on her daughter's bed, opens the diary and starts flicking through the pages.
"Is that really a good idea, what happened to it's an invasion of privacy?"
"She has a boyfriend" Rachel states.
"What?" Santana says joining her wife on the bed.
"Who is it?"
"Sean" Rachel replies.
"Sean who?"
"I don't know that's all it says; Sean."
"Well keep reading" Santana says.
Dear Diary.
Sean and I went to the movies tonight. He did that cheesy arm move where he pretends to yawn so he could put his arm around my shoulders. He pulled me close to him so I could rest my head on his shoulder.
"He pulled the yawn move, how lame is that?" Santana scoffs.
"I remember you attempting that move on our first date" Rachel replies.
"Whatever. What else does it say?"
Dear Diary
Sean and I have been dating for months now but I can already feel myself falling for him. I've never felt this way about anyone before and even though he hasn't been pressuring me, I'm think it's time we took the next step.
"Oh hell no" Santana shouts jumping off the bed.
"Baby, calm down."
"Calm down? Our daughter wants to take the next step with her boyfriend" Santana fumes.
"You don't know what that means."
"I was her age once, I know what it means."
"She's seventeen Santana. This issue was bound to arise sooner or later."
"Yeah well I was hoping for later. She's too young. I mean she still writes in a diary for Christ sake."
"You were younger than she was and I was her age when we first had sex."
"That was different."
"How?"
"Because it is."
"Even though that is a great argument I think the best thing we can do for her is to prepare her and to make sure she's careful. We should sit her down and talk to her" Rachel says.
"You do that. I don't want to be any part of that conversation."
"Okay I'll talk to her but I don't know how I'm supposed to explain how we know without telling her we read her diary."
"You read my diary!"
Santana and Rachel both turn towards the bedroom door to find Maria with an angry look on her face.
"It wasn't me. It was your mother's fault" Rachel says.
"Hey, I might have started it but you carried on reading it when I told you to put it back" Santana defends herself.
"I can't believe you. Do I not get any privacy in this house?" Maria asks.
"No you don't and I'm glad you finally realize that" Santana replies.
"You're so unfair" Maria says before turning around and leaving.
"This conversation isn't finished. I want to know about these parties you've been lying about and I want to meet this Sean and his parents" Santana yells as she walks out of the bedroom after her daughter.
