Chapter 3: Help Me
ALMA LOPEZ POV:
How do I do this? How can I prove to my granddaughter that I love her? I can't believe the things I said to her. I just need her to believe me. I want my Santanita back. The only child of my oldest son. The second oldest of my grandkids but my oldest granddaughter. My beautiful, smart, athletic, amazing granddaughter. Now she thinks I hate her. I need help. I can't do this alone. Who can help me with this? I can't ask my son or my daughter in law. Who else accepted their children as gay? No one I knew. Wait a second. When Brittany came over to beg me to accept Santana she said something about a… Burt Hummel? Yes, that was it. She told me that he'd accepted his son… Kurt? Yeah. That sounds about right. I should pay him a visit. Tell him my dilemma and see if he can help. What am I saying? I don't even know the man! Where would I find him for starters? Hummel Tyres and Lube. The guy who fixed my car last week said something about a Burt. What is going on with me? I've never even spoken to the man! How the hell is he meant to help me?
I take the picture of Santana out of my pocket. I grabbed it before I came here; for good luck. She's smiling in the picture, carefree, happy. It's a summers day and she's out of her uniform. Santana's not looking at the camera, she's looking at something to her left that the cameras missed. I remember who was there, it was Brittany. They'd been talking when I'd snuck in the picture. Looking at the picture I'd always been able to see the happiness in Santana's eyes. Looking at it again I could see that it wasn't happiness I was seeing. It was love. I have to do this for her. For them. For what they have.
NO POV:
Alma got in her car and drove to Hummel Tyres and Lube.
"Can I help you miss?" A young lad asked, walking out the shop
"Yes actually I was hoping you might be able to tell me where I could find Burt Hummel?"
"He's not working at the moment."
"Where is he then?"
"At his house…"
"Where's his house?"
"I'm afraid that's private information that I'm not authorised to share."
Alma climbs out of her car and stands face to face with the boy "I'm sorry but do you know who I am?"
"No"
"Well let me introduce myself. I'm Alma. Alma Lopez. I know Burt's son Kurt is quite friendly with my granddaughter, Santana, I'm sure you've met her."
"S-Santana Lopez?"
"Oh so you do know her! That's nice. Just thought I should tell you that I taught her everything she knows. Just as a warning."
"W-would you like me to write the address down ma'am?"
Alma smirks "That would be nice."
…
Kurt and Finn walk through the door of the Hummel house.
"Dad we're home!" Kurt yells
"In the kitchen!" Comes the reply
"You'll never guess what happened today in glee club." Finn starts as they walk through the house to get to the kitchen
"Santana's Abuela came" Kurt continues "She asked to speak to Santana outside and neither of them came back to glee. Brittany eventually found Santana crying in the janitor's closet"
"Yeah and Santana wouldn't tell us what…" They walk in the kitchen and see Alma Lopez sitting at the table with a tear stained face "happened…"
"Dad what the hell is she doing here?" Kurt yells
"Mrs Lopez needs our help and we're going to give it to her." Burt replies
"There's no way I'm helping a known homophobe!" Kurt protests
"That's what she needs our help with Kurt!" Burt tells him, urgently
"What do you mean that's what she wants our help with?" Finn asks
"Today when she went into your school she came to apologise to Santana for the way she'd been acting. Santana said that she didn't know if she could trust her again after what happened." Burt explains
"But she's her grandma!" Finn protests "Why can't she trust her?"
"Things happened." Alma says, finally speaking. "I regret everything I did but it still happened"
"And you really want help with this?" Kurt asks
"I want my granddaughter back."
...
What do you think Burt, Finn and Kurt are going to do to help? (anything you say could give me ideas because they will do more than one thing and I have only got like two or three)
