Enjoy.
Quinn's the first one to see Santana open the door, before she could call out her name she turns to look at Brittany whose both shirtless and intertwined with the guy she was grinding with before. Quinn looks back at Santana who stares at Brittany awestruck and hurt, Quinn sees as Santana's hands clench into fists and then loosen completely until her arms just act as lifeless branches that fall at her sides, the anger behind her eyes slowly dissipates and Quinn wonders if Santana might start crying. She looks back at Brittany who's locked eyes with Santana; the guy next to Brittany tries to pull her back in but Brittany's dead weight at this point. Quinn's scared for the both of them until Rick steps in between them.
"And how can I help you, Ms. Lopez? A drink?" Santana rolls her eyes and holds back vomit at just the plain sight of that ridiculous mullet. Santana tries to answer him but as her words try come out, Santana can't even manage to say a sound. Brittany looks over Rick's shoulder and observes Santana as she stands there in front of Rick with out saying a word. Brittany tried to get down from the table but ended up just falling on her ass. Drunken laughs filled the room as Brittany mindlessly rolled around Rick's dirty carpet. Santana snaps out of her haze and runs past Rick and next to Brittany's side. She helps Brittany stand but never once looking into her eyes. She had rolled her sleeves past her palms and not once did she touch Brittany with anything other than her frigid fingers.
"Thank you." Brittany tries to say without slurring. Santana just nods and starts walking away until Rick taps her shoulder.
"You're not staying for a drink?" He asks, Santana takes in a deep breath and then turns around, the anger from before has suddenly come back as Rick pronounced each word.
"I came up here to tell you to keep the noise down. I'm not sure if you've understood that there are these things called weekdays where most people work or study, tomorrow happens to be one of those days and it's time for you and your band of fuck up's start to pack up since I am almost 100% sure that all of you have school tomorrow. This ends now." Santana starts heading for the door when Rick interjects again.
"And if we don't?" Rick asks slyly and Santana's shoulders hunch up while all the anger in her starts boil. Santana turns right back around and faces Rick.
"I'll call the cops and I'm sure they'd be thrilled to see all this incredible underage drinking." Santana eyes Brittany who's already put her tank top on, Quinn is now by her side, Santana scans the entire room and notices how everyone's attention ahs suddenly been shifted to her. The music's even stopped. "You do know that hard liquor like the tequila I see over there on the counter or the Jack Daniels that I see in your hand could get you in more trouble than the beer keg on that fugly fucking table? I'm sure you knew that, right Rick?" Santana asks. Rick rolls his eyes. Some of the party goers starts to make exits out of Rick's beige crummy apartment, moving past Santana's smug grin desperately trying to avoid eye contact. Santana looked around her and then back at Brittany who was hiding in the crook of Quinn's shoulder. "Coach Beiste told me you were up for a possible scholarship, I don't think something like this would look very well on your college resume when the scouts take a second look at your records."
"Shut up, this is what teenagers do, we party. We're only young once, you're probably just bitter because you're old a-"
"Rick, what if Brittany had hurt herself when she fell? You and all the people who brought alcohol to the party would be held responsible for any injury that she might have had to suffer through." Santana's throat burns at even the thought of Brittany getting hurt.
"Oh, big deal. She's one of the biggest drinkers at school, it's not like she's capable of much else." Rick says, inciting a few laughs from the students that hadn't left yet. Santana sees Quinn wrapping both her arms completely around Brittany in her peripheral. She wants to punch Rick and rip all his teeth out just to choke him with them. Santana wants to throw him to ground and sodomize him with a rake but she has to control herself.
"You have until I get upstairs to get out of this apartment, if there's still noise by the time I'm up there. I'm calling the cops." Santana says sternly careful not to shoot any violent threats at his stupid mullet.
"Where are you all going?" Rick yells as everyone starts to file out of the room. Santana glances over at Quinn who's still trying to console a sobbing Brittany. Santana gets her attention and signals them towards the door. Quinn nods and starts helping Brittany over to the door and in a matter of seconds, the apartment is almost empty.
"She doesn't even know what she's talking about, it's not like we can get in trouble. We're not even in school for fuck's sake." Rick says with his arms high above his head like a demented priest. Santana shakes her head and leaves along with the last batch of students. Before going upstairs, Santana sees Quinn getting Brittany into her car in the parking lot. Santana rushes down the stairs and almost trips on her flip-flops until she finally got to Quinn's car, she's about to get in the driver's seat when Santana calls out her name.
"Is she okay?" Quinn's jaw tightens and she shoots a glare at Santana that Santana could even notice in the dark.
"Why do you think she's here?" Quinn says through her teeth.
"What?"
"Don't play dumb." Quinn growls at her like a snarling dog.
"I don't know wha-"
"God, you really are as bad as you seem." And with that Quinn gets in the car and drives away.
On a very important note, last chapter Quinn mentioned how she had gotten pregnant from 'Puckerman.' I can see how that would confuse the readers since Puck is Santana's beard. Well, later on in the story, you guys were going to find out that the 'Puckerman' is actually Santana's Puck's little brother who goes to McKinley and he's gonna stir up the pot a little, or a lot. It was supposed to be a surprise but hey, we can't have it all. Anyway, I'm sorry about chapter 10 disappearing and then reappearing, this website hasn't been very nice these past few days. I still hope you enjoyed both this chapter and the last. See you in two days.
