Chapter 2:

Santana never would have predicted that her and Rachel would be BFFs, but after the whole New York incident, and Rachel explained to Finn and everyone else that she didn't want to kiss him, they managed to get along and become good friends. And after Santana made a promise to be a better person, they started becoming closer and closer each week.

*Flashback*

"Mr. Shue, can I say something?" Santana asks. The rest of the glee club turns to stare at the Latina, confused. Santana never has anything meaningful to say in glee club, it's usually just a few rude comments here and there.

"Sure, Santana. The floor is yours."

"Thank you."

"I just wanted to personally apologize to all of you for the bullying I've done. I'm sorry Finn, for slapping you. I now realize that that whole situation could have been avoided if I just kept my mouth shut. And I want to apologize to you again, Rachel, for all of the slushies and degrading names. I was really just taking my anger out on you, on all of you really. So I'm sorry, and I'm going to try and be a better person."

All of the glee club's jaws are on the floor, except for Rachel, Quinn, and Brittany. The Santana that the rest of the glee club knows never apologizes, for anything. Last week she tripped a kid down the stairs and he fell so hard he got a concussion. And you know what she did? She laughed. Out loud.

"Santana you know I already accepted your apology. But thank you for saying it again." Rachel smiles.

"Uh, me too." Finn says.

The rest of the glee club murmurs in agreement.

*End flashback*

Ever since then, Santana has been trying, and succeeding in keeping her promise. Santana walks up to Rachel's front door and rings the doorbell.

"Yes? Oh hey Santana. Whoa, what happened to you?!" Rachel exclaims.

Santana collapses in the brunettes arms, sobbing. Rachel catches her and carries her into the living room. Her dads look at her confused at what's going on. Santana has practically been living at the Berry household, but they almost always see her in a good mood. Rachel shrugs her shoulders in response and Leroy and Hiram nod, knowing that she'll explain later.

After Santana finally calms down, Rachel asks what happened to her face. The Latina reaches for it and immediately regrets it. Pain shoots through the whole side of her face. Santana considers lying to Rachel, telling her that she tripped or something, but changes her mind, knowing the brunette wont believe her.

"Seriously, San, what happened?"

"My dad saw the commercial." Santana sniffs.

"Are you telling me that your father hit you because your gay?!" Rachel exclaims.

"Uh, yeah."

"That is absolutely terrible, Santana! He should be arrested!" she yells.

"No! Then he'll just hurt me more! Please don't tell the police, pleas!" Santana begs.

"But-"

"Please." she says one more time.

"Okay Santana. But if this keeps on happening, I think I will have to get the authorities involved."
