-Chapter 29- Tea and a car-

-Maribel pov-

"How's the car look doc?" I look at my oldest friend who is looking at Shelbys car "Is it fixable?"

"Damaged break line, blown tire, damaged rims, a rusted bottom, and a bad engine" Doc looks at me and shakes his head "This will never run again if I can help it"

"Alright" I sigh "Thank you for your help"

"I'll get you the scrap money soon" I nod and he puts a hand on my shoulder "Have you heard from him? Has he tried to call Santana?"

"He sent a email" I frown and doc takes his hand down then hugs me "He gave up guardianship of her"

"It'll be ok Bel-bel" He rubs a circle on my back as I cry "You have a better family now anyways"

"Yeah" I pull back and sniffle as I wipe my eyes "I do have a better family don't I"

"Yes you do" Doc smiles and messes with my hair "Now why don't you go see them"

"Ok" I give him another quick hug "Thank you Doc"

"No problem" We break apart and he points to a part of the garage "How about you give her the family jewel?"

I look and smile. Judy told me she's happy with her car. She has a fancy one and so do I. It's time my other girlfriend has some bling too. I look at doc and nod. He smiles and gets me the keys.

Here I come Shelby. Maybe I should get Judy too..yeah I'll get her too.

-Shelby pov-

"Alright!" The arguing stops and I rub my temples "We have the costumes! What's the problem?!"

"Dotty is covering for one of the cardinals!" Blaine holds up a smiley rainbow sweater of Rachel's. I notice that the eyes are messed up and the smile is cut off "She was so happy to wear this!"

"ITS FUCKING UGLY!" Dotty shakes her head in anger "Whoever did it was smart! We wouldn't get voted for that! We already are at a disadvantage"

"Why are we at a disadvantage?" Dotty doesn't speak and I take a step closer "Why are we at a disadvantage already Dotty? You were so verbal before"

"It's cause of me" I look at Rachel who is looking at the ground "She's right...they aren't gonna vote for two time suicide girl"

"That's not actually why" I look at Dotty confused and she sighs "Speak Angela"

I cringe at the raspy voice "Someone..messed..with" she takes a shallow breath "My..tea"

"I'm gonna kill him" Sebastian burst out of the room and we run after him. We end up surrounding him and Wes "YOU TAMPERED WITH ANGELAS TEA?!"

"What?" Wes looks genuinely confused "No! I cut up a costume! Something to make people angry not fuck up a life!"

"We have security cameras" The kids look at me "I'll talk to the dean and you all go back to the room"

They nod and we go separate ways. I knock on the door and wait to be let in. When the door opens i walk to the desk. The dean looks at me concerned and leans onto his desk.

"What can I help you with Miss Corcoran?" He must read my expression more "What happened?"

"A girls tea got tampered with and she could have severe damage" I sit in the chair across from him "I was wondering if we could pull up footage"

"That would be no problem at all" He turn the computer for us both to see and goes through footage. We start going slow when Angela puts down her tea then leaves the room "I don't see anything"

We go further "Stop!" He stops the tape and I point at the doors "They are opening up"

We go slower and I feel myself pale "I'm sure this isn't what you want to see" I nod but we continue to watch the scene unfold till the end "How would you like to handle this?"

"Call then down" I sigh "A girls gonna be heartbroken"

-Time skip-

There soon a knock on the door. I get up and open it. The person walks in and sits down in a chair. I close the door and sit beside them.

"Dotty" The dean looks at her "We have review the tape and found you are the one that tampered with Angela's tea"

"W-what?" She looks at me and she looks sincerely upset "I would never! I love her so much!"

"It's on tape" the dean shows us the screen "She matches you to a tee"

"I wasn't there! I was" Dotty blushes and looks away "Just turn on the camera to the custodians closet in the third floor"

The dean does and the free quickly shuts off. I look at the innocent looking girl beside me and feel like I've never met her. I never thought she'd be the one to drag Angela into a closet and start...I need a drink.

"So" The dean shakes his head and sighs "We still don't have the suspect"

"Not true" We look at Dotty confused "Well if they are in a costume they have to change right?"

The dean quickly changes feeds and looks through them. He seems to pick up on our suspect cause he gets closer to the screen. He pushes some keys and then smiles.

"I got him" He turns the screen and now it makes sense "I'll have to take care of this one"

"I trust you will" I look at Dotty "I'm sorry we blamed you"

"It's fine" She looks around the room before at me "Can we forget the closet thing?"

"I'd love to" We get up and I let her out of the room "Angela needs to go to a doctor and get her throat checked out"

She nods and skips off "It's always the innocent ones" I jump at Maribels voice and then glare at Judy as she laughs "Come outside"

I look at the Hispanic woman as she walks past me. As we go toward outside Dotty skips past and goes ahead of us. What's is going on? I'm answered partially when I see my club huddled in a group.

"What are my kids doing out here?" I walk over to them "Hey! We were still in a meeting!"

I stop yelling when I see a red 1970 Cadillac coupe deville. I step to it and put a hand on the hood. I feel shivers go up and down my spine as I touch it. This was a dream car of mine! Who's is this?

"I see you like the family jewel" I look up at Maribel "Judy has a 2011 Lexus IS 350, I have a Benz, and now you have this"

"I can't take this" I look at the car in front of me "As much as I'd love to"

"Doc can't fix the car" I look up at Maribel again "And you deserve to drive in style when we don't need the minivan"

"Just let her spoil you Shelby" I look at Judy who holds out the keys "You're one of the most hard working and stubborn people I know! But this is a dream come true to you!"

"It really is" I look at the car again "It looks so good"

"If you don't grab the keys right now I'm taking it" I look at Rachel who points to the keys "Come on mom! You've gone through a lot! You deserve something nice"

"Thank you" I walk over and give Maribel a kiss then Judy one too. I grab the keys and turn to my new car "Meeting is over and momma has a car to get used to"

Everyone cheers and steps away. I hop in and start it up...Oh my god the sound! I put it in gear and back out of the spot. I look at the clear path and smirk. Oh yeah, I feel like hot shit right now.

I put it in drive and take off. It drives like a dream! I speed around with it and laugh. This has been a dream of mine for years and I finally get to live it! This is amazing! I drive back up next to Maribel and Judys

"So" I point to the back seat "I got some open seats for some hot mommas"

"I'm gonna regret giving you this car" I smile as Maribel walks over to the passenger side and gets in "Hop in the back Judy"

"I'm not a bottom!" We both giver her a look and she sighs "Fine"

She gets in trying to act upset but she's smiling. Once they are buckled in I take off again. This has been the best surprise ever! The best day ever is reserved for when I gave birth to Rachel and moment is when I signed to get Beth.

But this is a special moment too.
