Brittany's POV
-Still at the restaurant-
"I see you're eyeing that game over there, Bella" I say and she gives me a shy nod. "Do you want to play? I ask, she nods and I take her hand going towards the game.
"I have some coins" I say pulling some coins out of my pocket and inserting them in the pacman machine, when the game starts Bella gets really excited and starts to play. I go back to Santana who is eating like there's no tomorrow.
"Whoa the pizza isn't going anywhere Santana" I say joking; she blushes and looks down swallowing the pizza before muttering sorry.
"Hey, I was joking, don't worry"
"Thanks for everything" she says and I shrug
"It's nothing seriously. You've done great with Bella, Santana; she's amazing, how old is she?" I ask curiously
"She's 5 and yes she's amazing, just like her mom" she says with a sad look I frown
"Isn't Bella yours?" I ask clearly confused, she shakes her head
"She's my sister's; she died when Bella was 2" she says with an upset tone, I had no idea, "we were in our way to the house, I was in the backseat with Bella because we didn't have a baby seat so I was with her, I remember seeing a bright light and then a loud BAM, that's all I remember, when I woke up I was in the hospital with Bella besides me, I panicked and a nurse came in and told me everything I screamed at how unfair life was being, I promised my sister in her funeral that I'll do everything in my hands to take care of her" she says while some tears slid down her face, I stood up and hug her, I know we only know each other today but it broke my heart what she just told me.
"You're really brave Santana" I say while hugging her and whispering comforting words, our moment was interrupted by a groan coming from Bella because she lost, she was now pouting, so cute. I feel Santana chuckling at Bella's behavior, she was yelling at the machine, she pulls apart, wipe away the tears and goes where Bella is. I see Santana telling Bella some things and Bella nods and grabs Santana's hand and they make their way towards me
"Thank you for the pizza and for letting me play, Miss Brittany" Bella says giving me a small hug, I smile and hug her too
"It's okay Bella, and it's Brittany" I say, she nods smiling and goes back to Santana
"Seriously Brittany, thank you so much, for everything" Santana says emphasizing the word everything, I nod
"Like I said its okay, I had fun with you girls" I say leaving some tips on the table and walking out with them
"Are you sure that your friend is coming?"
"Huh?" she asks confused
"Your friend, the one who is going to help you with the car"
"Oh, my friend, yes, I'm sure he'll come, don't worry, you should leave, is pretty late" she says and I think about it, and nod.
"Okay, if you say so, I'll see you tomorrow Santana, bye Bella" I say walking towards my car, once I'm inside I look over Santana's car and see that they are already inside so I drive away.
Santana's POV
That was really nice from Brittany, she's amazing, and it was so easy to tell her about my sister, I never told anyone, not that I had somebody to talk to. I look at the backseat and see that Bella is already falling asleep so I go to there with her and pull Bella in top of me and cover her with a blanket, she falls asleep immediately, I don't, I'm too worried and scared to sleep.
At some point I close my eyes and fall asleep. Hours later a small knock wakes me up, and I see towards the window and see a police standing there I get scared and hug Bella tighter, I roll the window down
"May I help you?" I ask
"You can't be in here; this is not a parking lot" he says
"Oh, okay I was just about to leave anyway" I say getting out of the car to going to the front seat, and I start the car and say a small thank to the officer and drive away. I park in another street and wake Bella; I have to take her to the school. She wakes up minutes later and rubs her eyes.
"Hi mommy, you look tired" she says and I smile slightly and nod
"I am baby, but don't worry, look something on the bags I have to take you to the school" I say rubbing my neck. Minutes later I'm driving towards the school
"Have a nice day baby, behave, I love you" I say when Bella is getting inside of the school
"I love you too mommy" she says and throws a kiss at me, I smile and drive away. I start to think and decide to go to a refuge; I hope they can give me a spot for tonight; I drive towards the first one and park in front of it. There's a small line, so I walk and stand behind a girl who looks dirty, but I don't pay attention to it. Half an hour later, it's my turn and the woman standing there says
"We're closing now, we're full, come back tomorrow earlier for a spot" I sigh defeated, what a fucking coincidence. The woman looks at me and says in a whisper
"There's another refuge down the street, they have spots at this hour, if you hurry you'll get one, go!" she says and I thank her and run towards my car and drive over the other refuge, when I get there I see there's no one In there and I get out of the car quickly and go towards the lady standing there
"Good morning, is there any spot for me and my daughter?" I ask
"Good morning, yes, what's your name?" she says
"Santana Lopez, is there any possibility for you to keep those spots for tonight, I have to work, I'll be here at 11, please" I beg and the woman shakes her head
"Sorry ma'am but I can't do that, there's another refuge over there" the woman says and I sigh and say
"I just came from there, they're full, please, I beg you, I have my daughter, we've been sleeping in the car, please"
The woman sighs and says "okay, but you have to come at 11 o'clock, ask for Antony, and they'll let you enter, be careful with your stuff inside ma'am, there's bad people in here" I nod rapidly and sigh happily.
"Thank you so so much!" I say walking towards my car, I'm going to buy Bella some food; she didn't eat this morning, and maybe a cookie or something for me.
-Hours later -
Bella's POV
I sitting besides my teacher, she said we have to wait for mommy, she's never late.
"You were really hungry this morning Isabella, what happened, didn't your mom feed you?" she asks me
"I can't talk about that, my mommy would be in trouble" I say
"You can tell me you know, you can trust me" she says and I believed her
"We don't have a house, we're sleeping in the car and we don't have money" I say thinking it was okay, just when my teacher is about to talk my mom arrives
"Sorry! Sorry! I was buying some stuff" my mom says
Santana's POV
Damn, the line was larger, more than I thought, when I arrive to the school I see Bella sitting besides her teacher, I'm worried, I hope Bella didn't say anything about our situation.
"Bella let's go, we have to go somewhere" I say extending my hand to Bella.
"Miss Lopez, can I talk to you?" the teacher says, I nod and tell Bella to enter in the car
"What's wrong?" I ask
"Isabella told me that you're homeless, and you're sleeping in the car" she says and I immediately got scared, they could report me to Child Protective Services and they could take Bella away from me. "You know I have to call Child Protective Services right?" she ask and I shake my head saying "No, please don't I'm trying to find a place please, don't, I promised I would take care of her, please" she shakes her head and says "I don't have a choice Miss Lopez " she says walking inside of the school.
I start to cry once I'm inside the car, I look at Bella and she looks scared
"Why did you tell them that Isabella Lopez?" I say shouting at her; I let my anger and sadness take over me "they can take you away from me!" I see her and she's now crying, I regret shouting at her, she doesn't know what's going on, it's not her fault, I grab her and hug her, we are both crying, life couldn't get worse.
"I'm sorry mommy, I want to be with you, I love you" she says looking at me
"I love you too baby, I won't let them take you away from me" I say hugging her tighter.
Hours later I find myself cleaning some office, Bella is in the janitor's room again. I haven't seen Brittany today, maybe she went home earlier today, I shake my head, I shouldn't be thinking about Brittany. I focus on my work and forget about everything.
Brittany's POV
This paperwork is driving me crazy, I have some paper on my desk, I'm confused with all this, I grab my coffee and take a sorb I put it down without looking at the table, suddenly I feel a hot liquid on my leg and jump slightly
"Dammit!" I say, damn coffee. I grab the sheets that are now ruined, thank God I have copies. I go to the janitor's room to find something to clean myself and the desk, when I got there I started to looking everywhere, I suddenly see something I wasn't expecting, Bella is sleeping with only a blanket on the floor. I frown and start to wake her up
"Bella? Bella? Wake up sweetie" I say shaking slightly her arm, she wakes up and gets scared.
"Hey, Bella, It's me, Brittany, remember me?" I say trying to calm her down, she then nods and I try to hold her hand to take her to my office, Santana better have a good explanation for this.
"Come with me Bella" I say and she shakes her head
"Come honey, I have candies in my office" her eyes light up and she grabs my hand and I start walking towards my office with her, I think about Santana, why is Bella here? Why did Santana bring her here?
Like half an hour later I see Santana walking scared on the corridor next to my office, I walk out and stop her grabbing her arm
"I ca-can't right now Brittany, let me go" she says looking everywhere trying to lose my grip
"Santana!" I say trying to calm her down, I point towards Bella sitting happily with a candy in her hands
"Oh thank God, please Brittany don't fire me, I need this job" she says with pleading eyes, she should know better
"I won't" I say, she sighs in relief "but you have to tell me why is Bella here?" I say inviting her to sit with me
She looks conflicted and sad, this is big, I think.
"We're homeless, there's no babysitter, I have no one to look after her, it's only Bella and me. The night you saw us in the car, we were sleeping there, I have nothing, they cut my salary because I wasn't paying my car and I couldn't pay the rent, they kicked me out, I don't know what to do, I'm desperate" she says, while some tears slid down her face, I hate seeing her cry.
"Santana, I had no idea" I say clearly surprised, "why didn't you tell me?" I ask
"I barely know you Brittany, I shouldn't be throwing my problems to you, this is something I'll get over, I'm just having a bad time right now" she says looking at Bella " I can't lose her" she says and I grab her hand, she looks at me and I tell her "You won't".
