The next morning Santana walks into the kitchen and see's her parents drinking coffee and greats them grabing a cup of coffee for herself and a banana. Sitting down to join them her father looks at her "your sister will be picking you up after school and taking you home with her. Don't give her a fit please. This will be our routine till things calm down. One of us will pick you up from there." Looking at her father like he is crazy she says "you expect me to go to my sisters house when all she wants to do is fight with me all them time?" Nodding he says "she called this morning and we talked to her about somethings and she told us you could go there after school. It was her idea." Thinking her sister is up to something she says "if she starts anything with me I will come to you and I will expect something different. She knows I have Cheerio's till 4:30 right." Nodding his head he tells her "yes she know and has agreed to pick up after practice." Agreeing to this they go about there morning.
Maribel take Santana to school while Jose goes to the hospital to hand his patients to someone else till the trial is over. When they get to the school Maribel parks and they both get out and head inside. Going straight to the office they are greated my Mr. Figgins the principal, as they sit down in his office he looks threw the glass door and see's a pissed off coach heading his way. "Why didn't you let me know one of my cheerio's was in your office. As her coach I should of been informed." Looking up at her he says "they just got here and Mrs. Lopez asked to speak with me. But seeing as you are already her it saves me the time of calling you." Leaning against this book shelf she waits for the older Lopez to speak. Maribel looks at her daughter and see's her daughter shrug and look back at her mother. Shaking her head Maribel turns back to the principal "I don't know if you know of our situation outside of school or not but I am sure you have heard about the shooting at the end of summer." Seeing both of them nod she continues " the man that did the shooting is Santana's older brother, and the boy he shot was a friend that was our neighbor. We was informed that his trial will start today and I was wanting to come in and inform you all of this." Sittin back in his chair the principal looks at Maribel and says "ok we know how bulling can be at this school and with this going on she will be a target." Turning to Santana he continues "if you have any problems at all come to myself or Sue and we will take care of it. I will infor your other teachers so they can keep and eye out too."
Looking at the man Santana says "thank you I will let you know if I have any problems." Looking down at her cheerio knowing she is lieing she speaks up "sandbags if you have any problems with these baboons come to me and I will take care of them. You are one of mine and I will take care of it." Knowing her coach is serious she says "yes ma'am." She turns back to Maribel and says "even if she doesn't come to me I will know because I have this whole place wired with audio and video so I will know before he does." she says pointing to Figgins. Maribel looks at them and says "thank you both. I am going to give you both my cell number, my husbands and both my other daughters if anything happens you can call one of them. You have my permission to talk to Bella and Aida about everything as you would with me." Taking the numbers they agree if anything happens they will call one of them.
After the meeting in the office is over they walk out in the hall and Maribel tells her "remember you are to wait here for Bella after school understand." Nodding she tells her mother "yeah I got it I am going to be late for class I will talk to u later love you." With that they part ways and head where they need to be. Half way down the hall Santana looks up to see Brittany and Quinn headed in her direction. "Morning Sanny why was you in the office did you get into a fight?" Brittany asked the girl. Looking up at the blond she says "no its nothing, mamá just wanted to talk to coach and Figgins about something is all. Nothing to worry about." Not bothering to look at Quinn she walks on down the hall. What she didn't know was Quinn new what the meeting was about but kept it to herself.
As the day went on Santana was relieved that no one had approached her all day. That would be short lived as she walks to the lockroom. As she walks in 2 of the senior cheerio's walked up to her one of them ask "hey Lopez are you related to that guy who murdered that boy this summer?" Stopping in her tracks she says "why do you want to know Shelby?" Stepping closer to her she says "cause if he murdered a guy I'm sure you could try the same thing and I am not willing to be around you if thats the case." Trying to not let the words bother her she says "yeah I am he is my brother. So back off." The other girl steps up and says "NO I think you need to back off in fact I think you need to disappear. Your brother is a murder and is going to rot in jail. When he dies he will burn in hell." Not noticing the blond approaching they hear her before they see her "you know as captian of this squad I have say over who is here and who is not. Once coach hears how you 2 are talking to her best flier she is going to be pissed so I think you both need to back the fuck up off her." Standing between her friend and the other 2 now she see Brittany walking up behind them not saying anything. Claire the other girl looks at there captain and says "oh so your going to defend her? She needs to be gone and you know it Fabrey." Looking at the 2 girls again she says laughing " you know for being seniors you are bother pretty stupid. I am the CAPTIAN so therefor I make the choices of who stays and who goes trust me Sue will be pissed I have already had a chat with her about you 2 once. Lets see what she says about this."
Grabbing the Latina's arm she pulls her away to walk out on the field with Brittany behind them. When they get to the field Sue goes to yell at them but see's Santana looking at her feet as she walks and to pissed off blonds behind her. Looking back at the door she see Shelby and Claire walking out. Sighing she yells "everyone start stretching. Fabrey over here now." Quinn walks over to her "why are all 5 of you late to my practice?" Quinn tells her what had happened in the locker room. Sighing she says "fine stand right here." Quinn moves to where she is told and hear Sue yell at the cheerio's " I want all of you in front of me sitting on the big asses of yours giving me your full attention in less than 5 seconds now move it." Once all the girls at seat she notices Santana and Brittany had sit in the back off to the side. Looking at the group she says "Shelby and Claire stand up." Bothe girls do as they are told and stand up. Looking at the girls Sue glares at them "both of you are seniors. How you have got this far in school is beyond me seeing as you are showing just how truely smart you both are today. You both had the nerve to corner a fellow cheerio in the locker room and proceeded to bully her oversomething she has no control over. I will NOT stand for that. You are both off the squad I want your uniforms in my office before you leave not get out of my site."
All the girls watch the 2 girls leave the field and turn back to the coach. She looks at them and says "One of my cheerio's is going threw a hard time right now. Those 2 desided to bully her because of it. I am going to tell you all whats going on and if you have a problem with it and can't stand behind her and support her you can join dumb and dumber in the locker room cleaning out your locks do you all understand?" Waiting for the girls to answer her she turns to Santana "sandbags here now." Santana stands up and walks to her coach. Sue looks at her squad and says " sand bags brother is going on trial today for the shooting that happened over the summer. None of you know what truely happened other than her and maybe Q and Legs over there. She hasn't told anyone so therefor only she knows the truth. If any of you can't support her and stand behind her threw this let me know now so I can replace you." Looking at the girls she see's them all sitting there looking at her waiting. "Can you all stand behind her and not put judgement in?" Seeing everyone nod she continues "fine seeing as it is almost 4:30 get out of here and if I hear of any of you back stabbing her and I will hear about it. You might as well bring me your uniforms as soon as you do it cause I will kick you off too." Turning she tells Quinn to get them out of her site. Looking down at Santana she says "anymore prolems come to me got it." Seeing the girl nod she walks off.
Santana waits for everyone to leave the field before turning to Quinn "thanks but you didn't have to do that in there I could of handled it on my own." Walking over to her she says "S you are my best friend yeah we had a fight but I made a promise to have your back and thats what I was doing." Looking at the girl for the first time in a couple of days she ask "how did you know all this was going on today?" Laughing Quinn looks at her "a girl never reveals her secrets. Now come on lets get out of here. Do you need a ride home?" Shaking her head Santana tells her "no I have to go to Bella's after school everyday while the trial is going on because there has been threats put out. I don't know what they was but I have to go to her house everyday." Knowing the shorter girl wasn't liking it she says "sorry to hear that. But I will wait with you till she gets here." Once they got there things they met Brittany on the steps. The dancer looks up and smiles "have you 2 made up now?" Laughing the girls sit down Quinn looks at her and says "yeah we are working on it." They sit there chatting till Brittany's mom pulls up and both girls stand and walk down the steps "B do you think you mom would wait till Bella gets here to pick up S?" Shrugging Brittany walks over to the car and ask her mom. Turning she tell Quinn "she said yeah we can wait why?"
Looking at Brittany she says "tell you mom I will explain in a few." Brittany tells her mom what Quinn had said and as Quinn turns to Santana "look S you and I both know neither one of us is good at apologizing but I'm sorry for the other day I had alot on my mind and I am trying to figure it out." Looking up Santana nods "yeah me to." Looking to see if Brittany is listening she notices she isn't and turns back to Quinn "Q I fucked up lastnight." Getting scare Quinn looks down at her "what do you mean you fucked up?" Seeing the blond is worries says "I slept with Puck yesterday after school. I didn't want to but I did." Looking down at the girl Santana see's something in her eyes but not sure what it is before she hears her speak "well... I don't know what to say San." Shaking her head she says "there's nothing to say. I just had to get it off my chest." Before Quinn can say anything else Bella pulls in and Santana looks at Quinn and says "see you tomorrow." Turning to Brittany she says "see you tomorrow B." Quinn watches the girl walk to her sisters car and get in. She walks to Brittany's mom's car and gets in and explains why she wanted to wait as they head home.
As they leave the parking lot Bella turns to her sister "how was your day?" Looking out the window she says "had a problem in the lockerroom but coach took care of it after Quinn ripped 2 seniors a new one." Nodding Bella says "yeah Sue called to me so I new that. How was the rest of your day?" Looking at her sister like she is nuts she says "fine." Seeing here sister look at her funny she says "look I know I haven't always been the best sister or best person to be around but I am not going to let anything happen to you. I am the only one that gets to fight with you or be mean to you. If anyone else does it then I will go all Lima Heights on there asses." Laughing Santana tells her "thats my line damn it." Smiling Bella looks at her sister "well I ment what I said." Looking back out the window Santana says "I don't hate you you know. Your my sister I love you even when you mean as hell to me. But I know you hate me and thats fine. But I will always love you even when you disown me." Looking back at her sister she say with a sigh "I don't hate you. Maybe when you was little I did but not so much now. I just don't know how to talk to you and I won't disown you."
Deciding to test the water she looks at her sister and ask "so there is nothing I could do or say that would cause you to disown me ever?" Thinking about this she says "well no I mean there are things I wouldn't like or be happy about but I wouldn't disown you. Why?" Looking back at her sister she says "just wondering is all." The rest of the car rid is quiet even with a one year old in the car as Santana looks back she see's he is asleep. Turning back around she thinks to herself "maybe this arrangement won't be so bad. Maybe I can start to have a better relationship with my sister and I will get to be with my nephews more often." Pushing the thoughts out of her head as they pull into her sisters house.
