Jenn didn't make it very far before her knee started to throb in pain, she should have just stayed at the house. She shouldn't have tried to be some hero and leave and know she's paying the price. She noticed she was outside Brittany's dance studio and thought she could stop and rest for a bit, so she took a seat on the bench that was right outside. Glancing down at her knee she could see how purple it was and swollen.

Sometimes she wonders what it would be like if she just stayed at her parent's house, she would have finished out the season and then could have gotten the surgery she needed to heal but she had to go whine about it and now she's homeless with a screwed up knee. Things couldn't get worse.

Jenn Wilder was such an idiot and she deserved everything that was happening to her. She was a loser, just like her parents told her. She was a loser who was probably going to end up nowhere in life because she couldn't hold it together for two more weeks. Two weeks, 14 days that was just too much for her. She had survived worse but she couldn't make it two weeks, that's what makes her upset. She crumbled at a paper cut, she was weak and pathetic.

Tears formed in the young girls eyes and this didn't really make her feel any better. This was just another sign of how week she was. Crying. Crying was for people who couldn't control their emotions and Jenn just couldn't control them. "I'm such a fucking loser." Jenn mumbles under her breath and wipes away her tears, trying to get some dignity back in her life.

Jenn put her head in her hands and cried for a few more minutes when she heard some footsteps coming towards her. Great, she thought, now I'm probably going to get mugged or raped. She was wrong though, it was just Brittany. The older blonde took a seat next to her and just watched her. Santana and Katie were nowhere in sight, Jenn assumed they were at home being a family. She envied them a little.

The 16 year old then felt a blanket being draped over her shoulders, she instantly tugged it closer to her gaining warmth from it. She was cold and very thankful for the little warmth the blanket brought her. She just couldn't meet Brittany's eyes just yet, and the blonde understood that. Jenn reminded her of a much younger Quinn. She was so afraid of judgment and so afraid of letting anyone in because then she could get hurt, so Britt just waited for her to be ready.

Jenn was grateful for how patient Mrs. Lopez-Pierce was being. Anyone else would have attacked her with questions. She would be lying if she said she was surprised, but she was very thankful that she didn't ask her anything yet. Slowly Jenn hesitantly met blue eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing Jenn," Brittany starts off, looking at the girl gently, "You shouldn't have run off like that me and San were worried about you. But to answer your question, I came here to find you."

"How did you know I would be here?"

"Mother's intuition." Brittany says casually.

Jenn tenses, "You're not my Mom."

Brittany looks on sadly, how guarded the girl truly is, well its heartbreaking. " I know I'm not but you remind me a lot of someone I know, I kind of just had a gut feeling that you would be here."

Jenn remained silent for awhile she wanted to trust the girl in front of her but she just didn't want to get hurt anymore then she already is. She just couldn't be hurt anymore, should would completely break if something like that were to happen.

"You're a good mom Mrs. LP, but you're not my mom, you already have a kid to look out for you don't need to add an angst ridden teenager to your family who would probably just screw everything up." Jenn takes the blanket off and tries to stand but the pain in her knee is to much so she falls to the ground clutching it.

Brittany kneels next to the girl looking her in the eyes, "I'm not trying to be your mother Jenn, I'm trying to look out for a scared little girl. Just let someone protect you for once Jenn, you don't have to be afraid anymore."

Jenn shook her head back and forth, "I'm not worth protecting. Why can't you see that?"

"Why can't you see that you are worth protecting? You're a kind, talented, beautiful young woman who's been so much and needs a break. Stop trying to walk on your own when you have people who are willing to let you lean on them. Me and Santana want to look out for you. We want to care for you."

"I'm damaged goods. No one wants that." She looks down, unable to meet the comforting blue eyes in front of her.

Brittany wasn't going to let her win that easily, she grabbed the girls face in between her hands and looks straight into her eyes, "You listen to me Jennifer Lynn Wilder, you are not damaged goods, you are an amazing individual and you are going to be someone some day you just wait and see. Let me and Santana look out for you."

Jenn couldn't hold it back any longer, her eyes burned with the sensation of needing to cry. So she did, she openly cried in front of a woman she barely knew. She was sobbing and her breathing was shortened. Brittany instantly went into mother mode and wrapped her arms around the teenager, pulling her head to her chest.

"Shhh, honey calm down just breathe." Brittany rubbed her back gently trying to calm the broken teenager down and she seemed to be doing an okay job because soon enough Jenn stopped crying but kept her face hidden in the blonde's neck.

"I don't know what to do…" Jenn said pitifully.

"Just stay with me and Santana until your knee is better and then if you don't want to stay with us anymore then we'll take if from there. Please, just stay with us so we can fix your knee. Please." Brittany tells the girl kissing her head trying to coax her into saying yes.

"Just until my knee's fix?" Jenn double checks.

"Unless you want to stay with us after words then yes, just until we fix up your knee so you can go and be a big volleyball star."

"Okay." Jenn breaths out, leaning into the blonde.

Sometimes it was okay to need help.

Santana had thought it would be best if she stayed home with her distraught eleven year old. She knew Katie was upset at the thought that she had to share her parents but she was hoping to reassure her incase Jenn were to stay with them until her knee was fixed.

"Katie do you want to go play some basketball?" Santana asks her young daughter who was watching her intently.

"It's to cold outside." Katie tells her still eyeing her up and down.

"Do you want to tell me what your thinking about then? I mean if you don't want to play basketball at least tell me what's going on in that pretty little head of yours." Santana pats the seat next to her encouraging her daughter to sit next to her.

Katie did go and sit next to her Mami and spoke, "I just don't like the thought on sharing you and Momma that's all."

"Well I know it's a little scary at first but me and your Momma will always love you."

"I know Mami, its just hard I never had to share you before and now I have to. Its hard."

Santana wrapped her arm around Katie and pulled her a little closer to her, "I know it its Hermosa but Jenn isn't going to steal us away, she's almost going to be like an older sister to you, but only if you think of her that way. Jenn is just having a really hard time right now and we are just trying to help her out. Everything is going to be okay baby I know it."

Just then the two heard the front door open and Brittany and Jenn came in. Jenn was leaning on Brittany because of the pain in her knee and Britt wore a sad smile not because she wasn't glad that the girl had chosen to live with them, but because of the pain she was in.

Santana helped the girl sit down on the couch and went to grab some ice for her knee.

"I'm sorry about what I said to you earlier today." Katie says softly, "I was just scared, I guess I can try and share with you, as long as you don't steal my Sunday cuddles."

Brittany smiles proudly on at her daughter, and places her hand on the top of her head, "I don't think Jenn really likes to snuggle that much Katie."

Katie's eyes widen, "Your crazy girl."

Santana comes back and hands the teen some ice, "I'm glad you came back Jenn."

"Just until my knee is fixed." Jenn tells them, but it came out more like she was trying to reassure herself.

Maybe Jenn wasn't going to stay after her knee was fixed, or maybe she is going too. Guess Santana and Brittany are just going to have to wait and see.
