A nice long chapter hope you enjoy it. xx

Santana was walking towards Beth's locker to meet her when she heard the fight,

"Come on you dyke fight back" She heard someone shout there was a crowd gathered round the lockers. Santana pushed through to see Azimo pinning Beth against them,

"I don't fight homophobic Dick heads" Beth spat blood running down her face,

"well you'll fight me. what did mummy never teach you to fight huh" That triggered something in Beth that no one had ever seen before. She brought her legs up and kneed Azimo in the groin. he fell to his knee's. Beth brought her foot round as it contacted his head,

"that good enough" she yelled as she brought her foot into his stomach. Blaine and Finn pushed through the crowds holding her back she just fought harder against their restraints. Santana had seen enough to know Beth wouldn't stop,

"Beth calm down please" Santana whispered holding her back she pulled away a little to see Beth beginning to calm down she shrugged out of Blaine and Finn's grip and made way to the bathroom. Santana followed her and found her splashing water onto her face.

"here" Santana said turning her bringing a wet towel to her nose, she flinched then relaxed, "what were you fighting about?"

Beth didn't answer she just looked away,

"does it matter?" she murmured,

"when he just about break's your nose? yeah pretty important" Santana snapped, Beth smiled then winced due to her split lip,

"It was self defence if that helps"

"He shoved you against the lockers" Santana asked hands on hips.

"and said something's" Beth mumbled before exclaiming, "what does it matter anyway?"

"Because he hurt you" Santana froze realising what she had said. Beth smiled and crossed her arms over chest. Santana knew she wouldn't say anything without provocation and that was exactly what Beth had been trying to get her to do in the first place, "your infuriating" Santana mumbled. Beth chuckled shaking her head.

"You can't admit it can you"

"Neither can you" Santana was getting pissed off, "It's hypocritical that you clearly can't admit it and you start throwing punches for it"

Beth frowned and stood straight, Santana knew she'd hit a nerve, "I wasn't throwing punches for that reason although it had something to do with it"

"what provoked you then?" Santana asked feeling suddenly small.

"He started talking behind me about us and then he..." Beth turned and leaned over the sink spitting blood into the sink. "he threatened you San"

"me? this had nothing to do with me" Santana exclaimed,

"It had everything to do with you Santana" Beth shouted, Santana flinched.

"he threatened you San that was the problem. You think it nothing to do with you he threatened you San. you want to know?" Beth didn't wait for an answer, "he said he would make you into a real woman. I'm never gonna let that happen even if it mean's all of this" Beth gesturing to her face. Tears pricked Santana's eye's,

"Thank you" Santana whispered. She stepped closer to Beth, slipping her arms round her waist. Beth sighed and wrapped her arms round Santana, who rested her head on Beth's chest. They stood till they heard one of the door's open Santana turned to see Couch Sylvester,

"Reese, Sandbags" she addressed them both. Beth stood as straight as she could suddenly becoming defensive, "I couldn't help but overhearing and might I say that fighting is strictly against school policy and if I wasn't in a good mood I'd report you. But luckily for you Reese I'm in a very good mood that is why I have decided not to report you to Figgins but I am not in a good mood with you melon's mostly because you have been lacking in your captain duties"

"what? I have" Santana protested,

"that is why I have decided to relive you of your Captain and Cheerios duties"

"Couch please" Santana begged. Sue raised her hand,

"I hear by accept your resignation from both captaining and being part of the Cheerios" And with that Sylvester left. Santana stared at the floor for several moments before bursting into tears.

After an hour of hiding in the girls toilets, they were both cornered by Mr Shue and taken to Figgins office.

"Why did you assault Mr Adams" Figgins asked for the third time

"I didn't"

"If you don't tell me I will have no choice to expel you"

"What?" Beth stood and Santana saw Azimo flinch, "Fine he's a homophobic, bullying, beating dick head that good enough" Beth yelled at Figgins. Figgins sat back in his chair glared at Azimo before clearing his throat,

"You are excused it seems there is a bigger issue here you may go"

Beth walked out the office and down the beginning of the rows of lockers. Before she pounded her already sore fist against them.

"You have to calm down" Santana stated, she was returned with a glare from Beth, "we have to go to glee and if you're as angry as you are you'll probably make Kurt wet himself"

Beth let out a small laugh and they walked to glee.

The following day Santana was sat next to Beth in the choir room when Artie rolled in. Santana for some reason still blamed Artie for breaking her and Brittany up. Well they are together Santana thought. Artie wheeled close to Santana and gave a small smile before going to talk to Mercedes,

"You'll never guess who we just saw?" Blaine and Kurt walked in asking,

"Who?" Mercedes asked,

"Karofsky"

"seriously?"

"you're kidding"

Santana stayed quiet she wasn't getting involved. She saw Beth walk in and sit down away from Santana they hadn't talked since yesterday Santana had tried calling but she hadn't answered.

"Alright Santana, Beth are you ready to practice?" Mr Shue asked as he walked in. Beth took her head out her hands as Santana stood walking down to the front,

"Excuse me" Beth said walking out the room Santana went to follow,

"wait let me" Blaine said following Beth.

Blaine walked out to the batting cadges where he could see Beth hitting the balls with as much force as she could manage,

"I thought I'd find you out here"

"Maybe you know me to well" She answered still concentrating on the batting,

"maybe or maybe it's the fact that you're blatantly ignoring Santana"

"Santana has nothing to do with reason I'm out here and not singing stupid show tunes" She said hitting another ball.

"Is that what all of your anger is about?" Blaine asked quietly, Beth didn't answer so he continued to pry "or is this about Amanda?" Beth dropped the bat and shut off the machine,

"It isn't important" She mumbled.

"It must be if you're ignoring Santana's call's"

It was the first time Blaine thought he had seen her look so defeated. She seemed to be concentrating on the pitching machine,

"She's back isn't she?" Blaine asked as he stood next to her. She didn't answer, Blaine wasn't sure if she could without crying, but she merely nodded. "Is that why your punishing Santana?"

Beth glared at him, "forgive me Dad I didn't realise she had to be the biggest attention in my life right now" Beth said, "I kind of have to deal with a girl I was once in love with prancing around my house in her underwear and giving me the worst looks in the world" Beth ranted. Blaine had to take a step back for all the time he had known her she had never ranted to him and he knew that only meant one thing and that was Amanda.

"look I'm not saying it isn't hard I know it is but look don't through away a good thing here Beth you and Santana are like neutralisers to one another"

Beth just shook her head, "here me out. She told me what you guy's were supposed to be doing on Friday we'll meet you there and if you're not there I will personally kick your ass"

"you could try" She said simply a raised an eyebrow and her signature smirk on her face.
