Santana (POV)
My eyes flutter open slowly and I glance over at the alarm clock, uhhhh… it's only 8 am and I'm already awake… I glance over at Brittany who is fast asleep. I smile and brush a stray strand of hair off her face. I grab the bottom of my shirt, and pull it up. I can see some dried blood on the bandage so I must have healed…I put my shirt back down and head down the hall, I walk slowly so I'm quiet and because my body aches…
I walk down the hallway and glance over at the couch, to see Sam up and watching some TV. He flips around quickly and smiles.
"San are you okay!?" He jumps over the couch.
"What are you doing up? You need your rest!" I shake my head and chuckle softly.
"I'm fine Sam… really!" He nods and heads back over to the couch; I walk over to the fridge and grab a bottle of water.
I head over to the chair and sit down; I glance over at Sam whose eyes are already on me… I glance down at the floor. I can't stop thinking about those men…and what they did I can still feel that knife. I swallow and glance up at Sam, I sigh loudly and my breath comes out really shaky. Sam stands up and gives me a hug, the tears come out fast and I can't stop them.
"It's okay San, you're safe those men can't get you now…" I swallow hard and he steps back so he can see my face.
"I know what happened to you was terrible… there's nothing I can do to change that…what you did was to protect us…" I nod slowly and wipe my eyes…
"I did… I just can't get it out of my head…If that other man hadn't showed up….I'd be dead…" he swallows hard and looks down at the floor.
"I know I should have helped you more…I could've stopped them." I shake my head and swallow.
"No, Sam I wanted to help you guys get away….it's just… what they did….how could they do that to someone…I don't care what we are!" I say loudly and Sam nods.
"They just kept asking you about the Alpha?" I nod slowly and bite my lip.
"And when I couldn't answer them they would stab me… and they also burned me… "I swallow hard thinking of it, Sam puts his hand on my shoulder and bites his lip.
"That will never happen again…I can promise you that…" I smile and give him a quick hug. I stand up and smile.
"I'm gonna see if Britt's awake…." He nods and I head down the hall back to her room.
Brittany is still asleep when I get in the room she shoots up, and I jump back quickly… She blinks her eyes quickly and rubs her eyes yawning.
"San? Is that you?" I chuckle and bend down in front of her.
"Yeah Britt…it's me…" I smile and she grins at me putting her hands on either side of my face.
"Hey…" I whisper quietly and smile.
"Well, hey there…." She says with a huge grin, before leaning forward giving me a soft kiss. I pull back and a huge grin spreads across my face.
"How are you feeling San?" she smiles looking down at my stomach… I stand up and she reaches for my shirt, her eyes meet mine and I nod. She pulls the shirt up slowly. She looks at the bandage and looks back up at me.
"It's looking better, but when mom wakes up we should take it off…" I nod slowly and she pulls my shirt back down. I glanced down at her and smile.
"Hey, I'm gonna go see my mom today…did you want to come?" she stands up and sighs…my eyes dart back and forth.
"I would love to go San…but if you want to go by yourself it's fine." I nod and smile softly…I lean forward giving her a kiss on the cheek. She smirks and pulls me into a hug. She leans close to my ear and whispers softly.
"And just so you know…if you ever go off alone against the hunters again I might have to beat you up…." I chuckle softly and pull back from our hug; I lean my forehead on hers and smile. She slides her nose on the other side of mine and she chuckles lightly. She winks stepping around me and out of her room… I chuckle and follow after her.
She heads over to the cabinet grabbing a box of cereal and I glance over at Sam, he grins and I shake my head and chuckle. I walk over and lean over the side of the couch.
"So what are we watching Sammy?" I say with a grin, he looks at me with an odd look. I smile and he leans over.
"Just the boring ole news…but we could always watch something else." I nod and walk around the couch sitting next to him. Brittany jumps next to me… I lean back and close my eyes. I can feel a hand on mine and I glance over at a smiling Brittany. I smile and slide my hand across my stomach…I wince slightly I guess… it's not healed yet… I swallow and look up to see Britt and Sam's eyes on me…I smile and look back and forth at them.
"Guys…I'm fine okay really." They both nod and throw a sideways glance at each other. I sigh loudly and hear something behind me.
"We'll see about that." I turn around and see Mrs. Pierce in her scrubs…she must have work. I nod and she motions for me to come to her. I stand up and walk over to her. She motions up and I already know what she means, I slip my shirt off slowly, I have a sports bra on so I'm decent. I pull the bandage off my hand, the wound is completely healed. Brittany walks over to me and smiles as her mother walks to my back and takes the bandage off slowly… The bandage falls on the floor and Brittany's eyes grow wide.
'Do most werewolves have scars?" she swallows and I look down at my stomach. I have odd looking marks all over my stomach where the knife wounds were… There like bumps on my stomach but there longer like a cut they're also white…I swallow hard I have about four of those going up my stomach diagonally… I turn slowly looking at my side where the burn was.
I swallow hard and glance at Sam whose eyes are on my burn. Its red a puffy looking it's raised up and it's smooth to touch it. I look over at Mrs. Pierce and she swallows hard glancing up at me. My eyes dart back and forth and I shake my head, brushing past her and into the bathroom. I look in the mirror and shake my head…
"So, now I'm not only a monster but a scarred freak…great." I mumble to myself and step back from the mirror looking closer at my wounds… I take a deep breath and look towards the door to see Brittany… she's biting her lip and I glance over at her smiling…
"At least no one can see them…" I say quietly looking over at Britt, she throws me a half smile and I can hear her brain going at a hundred miles an hour…her heart is thumping loudly and she keeps looking at the floor…she thinks this is her fault…I walk over to her and grab her hand…
"This is not your fault…" she gives me a small smile and looks down at her feet…She looks back up and me and I feel a cold hand on my stomach, I swallow hard and lock eyes with her…I close my eyes and nod slowly as her fingers rake over my scars. She stops on the scar and looks up at me biting her lip.
"It's really smooth…but uneven like puffed up…" I nod and she rakes her hand around to where the burn is. She stops and rubs her fingers on it slowly.
"This one is really hot to touch…" I nod as she slides her hand around my waist pulling me closer.
"You're right no one will ever see these scars…well….except for me…" she whispers the last part and I smirk at her shaking my head.
"You always know how to make me feel better…" I give her a small hug and pull back from her…
"I'm ready to see my mom now…" I swallow hard and walk back into the kitchen I grab my shirt and turn to them smiling.
"It's okay…were going to see my mom…so we'll see you here. " I motion to Britt's mom and she walks over to me giving me a hug. I pull back and smile glancing over at Sam.
"I'll hold the fort down here!" He chuckles and I shake my head. I head back down the hall and into Britt's room, I see the bathroom door is shut and I nod, she must be in there.
I put the shirt I was wearing down on my bag and pull out a white tank top. I throw it on quickly and grab my black hoodie throwing it over my tank top. I lean down looking for my blue jeans, I find the, and quickly throw them on. I turn around when the bathroom door opens; Britt has jeans and a white hoodie on. I smile and walk over to her slipping my hands into her hoodie pockets; I pull her close to me and whisper in her ear.
"Let's go…" she leans up and gives me a quick kiss, she grabs my hand and we head out into the kitchen.
Sam and Mrs. Pierce look over at us smiling.
"Okay, I'm heading to work…I'll see you guys there?" I nod and look over at Sam, He stands up and he has his keys in hand.
"I'm gonna head home, I have stuff I gotta do…" I nod and smile, he comes over to us giving us both hugs, then he heads out the door.
Mrs. Pierce waves and turns around quickly, "I'll be home late so head to bed early you have school…" she motions to both of us and we both nod. We head out the door right behind Mrs. P. Sam beeps his horn and heads down the driveway. Mrs. Pierce, does the same and we hop into Britt's car. She starts the car and we head towards the hospital. I lean back and watch the tree's fly by…I yawn loudly and Britt glances over at me…
"Did you not sleep?" I chuckle and shake my head, "I did just not long enough!" she smiles and nods quickly.
She chuckles and looks back at the road.
I smirk and lean back glancing over at Brittany…I still look at her sometimes and can't believe that she's mine. I sigh and look back out the window. We make it to the hospital in about ten minutes. I hop out of the car and look over at Brittany, I hold out my hand and she takes it quickly, as we walk up to the hospital. I step into the elevator pressing the 2 button and leaning back.
"Are you ready?" Brittany looks at me with a sparkle in her eyes and a soft smile playing at her lips.
I nod and she leans over giving me a soft kiss on the cheek. When the elevator dings we step out of the elevator and down the hall, we turn left and turn right into my mother's room. I step into the room and hear the beeping of her heart machine…or whatever it's called. I step further in and see my mother lying motionless on the bed, I glance over and see a woman in a white lab coat and she smiles.
"Hi, do you know Mrs. Lopez?" I nod and walk towards the doctor holding out my hand she shakes it and I smile.
"I'm her daughter Santana Lopez." She nods and steps over.
"She hasn't showed any signs of waking up…but while you're here if anything happens let me know." I nod and she walks out of the room. I walk over and look down at my mother she looks helpless just lying there… I slide my hand into her's and bite my lip.
Brittany sits down in a chair by the wall, and she smiles at me softly… She stands up and bends down whispering in my ear, "I'm gonna go get us a drink okay?" I nod and she walks out of the room.
I glance back down at my mother and take a deep breath, I miss talking to her… I sit there for a second and rub my thumb across her hand.
"Hey mom…it's me Santana… I miss you, and I'm sorry this happened to you." I say my eyes darting back and forth.
"I wanted to talk to you about everything…You're not awake right now…but I feel like if I talk to you…you'll hear me…you know?" I sigh and a few tears fall down my cheeks.
I wipe them away with my free hand and start talking again.
"I met a girl mom….her names Brittany…she's amazing and I love her with all my heart… I wish you could've met her…" I sigh and glance at the door.
"You might still be able to meet her…if you make it through this…you're strong, you'll pull through I know you will….well I'm gonna go mom…I love you." I lean down and kiss her on the cheek. I feel bad for only staying for five minutes but I don't think I can stay longer it's too hard… I stand up just as Brittany turns into the room. She gives me an odd glance and I grab her hand…and we head into the empty elevator.
"I wasn't ready Britt…It was too hard…" She nods and hands me a water bottle, I take quick drink and the elevator door opens. We head out to Britt's car and she flips the ignition. We head to her house not really talking at all…My thoughts just keep going back to my mother… I swallow hard and glance at Brittany. She is biting her lip, and I give her an odd look.
We pull into the driveway and Britt pulls the keys out of the ignition. We head into the house and Britt shuts the door.
"San…." I turn around and see Brittany smiling she opens her arms and I practically crash into her, she holds me tight as the tears fall down my face… I bury my face in her chest and take a deep breath… I step back from Britt and she smiles softly. Our eyes lock and I lean forward slamming my lips onto hers, she steps back leaning against the door. I rub my tongue on her bottom lip and she opens her mouth quickly. It was like I was kissing her for the first time, I take a deep breath and start nibbling on her bottom lip softly, Brittany lets out a small moan, and I slowly caress her tongue with mine. We slowly pull back from each other panting.
My eyes flick up to her's and she smiles, "I heard what you said at the hospital…" I smile and pull her into another kiss. I pull back with a smile plastered on my face…it's pretty early so we stay up and decide to watch a movie, which I get to pick this time!
I head over to where her movies are and glance around, I reach down and grab a Disney movie, I flip around and Brittany smiles and it's the Lion King. I love this Disney movie; I hand it to Britt and flip around smiling.
"I'm gonna go change real quick alright?" she nods and I head down the hall, I come back out in a black tank top and grey sweats. I hop on the couch and see the movies menu screen. Britt jumps up and goes to get changed… when she heads out I look down at my stomach and pull up my shirt. I run my hand across the scars there and I swallow hard, I'm so lost in thought I didn't hear Brittany behind me. She jumps over the couch giving me a sideways glance. I bite my lip and she slides her hand on my stomach leaning close to my ear.
"You're beautiful Santana…these scars just show you're strong…" I smile and turn giving her a small kiss. Britt starts the movie and I lean over lying on her lap, she turns and I lie back into her chest… This girl always knows how to make me smile…
