Chapter 36: Car

"Goodbye" Brittany sighs, wrapping her arms around Santana

"Bye" Santana tells her

"I'll see you around valentine's day right?" Brittany asks, she feels Santana nod into her shoulder

"God I hate saying goodbye to you"

"It's not for much longer babe" Brittany says "I swear to god I'm going to graduate this year."

"I know Britt it's just hard knowing I have to wait another month before I can see you again." Santana sighs, finally releasing her grip to kiss the blonde before she gets in the car. Once Brittany's turned the corner she walks back inside and locks her bedroom door. It's going to be a restless night.

…

BRITTANY POV:

I hate leaving Santana behind in New York. I wish I could stay with her, hold her forever but I can't. As I drive away from her apartment I can't help the tears that mist in my eyes. Suddenly I hear a scream and slam my foot on the breaks. Oh crap. Did I just hit someone? I climb out of the car, wiping my eyes and see a blonde girl on the street, I turn her over and gasp in shock; It's Maddy.

Acting on impulse I scoop her up into my arms and lay her down in the backseat of my car. There's no bleeding or swelling so as far as I can tell she's conscious

"Tia…." She mumbles under her breath "T…"

"Maddy" I gently shake her "Maddy" She opens her eyes at the sight of me and springs back, I give her a sheet of paper and she scribbles furiously

What happened?

"I hit you with my car. I think you were running…"I hesitate "Why were you running?"

"I was scared." She whispers, barely loud enough for me to hear

"Why?" She sighs

"My dad escaped from prison last night." She suddenly cries; all I can do is wrap my arms around her whilst she cries. I don't know what her dad did but judging by the reaction it was bad.

"He-he hurt me" She tells me "He killed my mum and then he started hurting me." Her voice is stronger now, I can tell she needs to get this out so I stay quiet "He wouldn't let me talk; he carved the word silent into my back and used to hit me every time I wasn't. Even when I got out of there I couldn't speak and it was all his fault." She looks angry now "I've come so far and I'm getting so much better but what happens if he finds me again?" She asks, gripping onto my shirt, I don't answer, just let her continue "I'm speaking more now, I'm trying to live my life and I can't let him mess it all up but it's not my choice!" She sobs

"He won't get to you." I promise and she looks up at me as if she forgot I was there

"I'm sorry." She says simply

"There is nothing to be sorry about." I reassure her

"Yes there is. I don't even know you and I'm spouting out my whole life story. Not even Emma knows any of this and oh god what would my dad do if he heard me talking?" She starts panicking "What if he's here?"

"He's not here Maddy. He couldn't have got here this fast because he's in England and he can't exactly fly here and even if he comes by boat it'll take forever and he'll probably be caught anyway and he'd never be able to swim here without getting eaten by a shark or whatever so if you think about it there is no way he is ever going to get to you." She sits there for a while, looking at her hands in her lap before adjusting her gaze to me

"Thank you." She whispers, curling herself into me

"It's okay." I tell her "Do you want me to take you back to your apartment?"

"I can't make you do that"

"I want to."

"Fine" She whispers, climbing off my lap so I can get into the driving seat

…

TIA POV:

I'm really worried.

This morning I woke up to find myself in an empty, cold bed with Maddy nowhere to be seen. Emma and I searched the entire block of flats for her but to no avail. That's when I spot it; the letter on the kitchen table

Miss Maddy Brooks,

We are sorry to inform you that your father, David Brooks has escaped from HM Wandsworth prison as of 21:35 on the date of the 14th of January 2013.

I drop the letter, not wanting to read on.

"Emma what's the date?" I ask, dreading the answer

"Fifteenth" She calls back from making sandwiches for lunch.

"Crap." I whisper to myself, even more worried than before. What if her dad managed to get on a plane? What if he's here now? What if he's taken her? No. I can't think like that. She probably just panicked, needed a bit of alone time

"I'm sure she's fine T" Emma tells me, handing me a cheese roll, reading my mind but not completely.

…

That night I'm lying on the sofa, frozen in fear. Maddy should be back by now. I can't go to bed, I won't even try because I know I'll never get to sleep worrying about her. The doorbell rings, breaking the silence and I shoot up, running for it. Please be Maddy please be Maddy please-

"I'm so freaking sorry T" She sobs, jumping into my arms

"Where were you?" I ask "I saw the letter." She sighs

"I got scared, I know I was wrong not to answer your calls." I nod, she's forgiven "Brittany hit me with her car." She says

"What?" I ask, shocked "Are you okay babe? Do you need to go to hospital?"

"No I'm fine"

"Did Brittany bring you back here then?"

"Yeah but before that I sorta told her everything…" She must see the shock on my face "I don't know what happened it just all came pouring out." I smile at her, I love that she's opening up more, she's an amazing person and more people need to see her; need to hear her.

Thanks RaInBoW-EXPLOSION1 for giving me the awesome idea of having Maddy open up to Britt :)
