No one's POV:
"I'm Santana's father", Brittany's eyes go wide,she sits up forgetting Santana's head was in her shoulder,she tried to talk but nothing came out. "Babe, come back to bed.", Santana says with her eyes still closed; without knowing her father was standing by her bed, she grunts and opens her eyes she sees Brittany sitting in her bed looking at someone behind 's father clears his throat, making Santana turn around,he looks at her and raises his eyebrow, his arms crossed, "Hey dad, you're home.", Santana says smiling at him, "Ujum...I thought I could surprise you and take you out for breakfast before you go to school.", he says smiling at Santana and then looks at a shocked Brittany, "So, would you both like to come and get breakfast with me?", Santana looks at Brittany who is now paralyzed, "Umm...dad can you gives us a sec?", Santana asks and his father nods and gets out of Santana's room.
Santana sits up and smiles at Brittany, "I can't believe that your father caught us on bed together.", Brittany says and Santana chuckles, "Well at least we weren't naked.", Santana tells her and leans over and pecks Brittany's lips. starts inspecting Santana's face, "The swelling went down, but I still see the bruise. How can your father not see it?", Brittany asks confused, "My hair was covering my left cheek Britt. Besides I don't want to tell him,about him.", Santana shrugs and Brittany looks at her,"I think you should tell him or someone for that this guy...", "I don't want to talk about it.", Santana says clenching her teeth, "But I do.", Brittany says anger starting to rise, "Well you shouldn't worry, because I won't see him ever again.", Santana says getting out of her bed and walking to her closet, "That's not the point. Even if you don't want to see him, he'll keep coming back, Santana.", " Brittany, don't worry..", Santana starts saying but Brittany cuts her off, "That's the problem Santana I worry.", "Then don't!", Santana screams at her making her shocked, "Look, let's just go to breakfast with my dad, and forget about it.", Santana says touching Brittany's arms, Brittany shakes her head, "I'm not going Santana.", Santana looks at Brittany shocked, "Is it because you don't have clothes? Cause I could...", Santana starts saying panicked, "No, it's not because I don't have clothes. Either you tell your dad, or I will.", Brittany tells Santana who's more confused than ever, "You can't do that.", it's the only thing Santana says, and Brittany nods at her, "I'm giving you an option Santana.", Santana has tears in her eyes and they start rolling down her cheeks, Brittany walks up to her and hugs her,"I'm scared of what his going to say and think.", Santana tells Brittany while hugging her, "Don't ever be scared. His your dad, and he's here. Besides I can see that, that guy out there loves you", Santana chuckles and looks at Brittany,"How do you know?", Santana asks and Brittany smiles,"Because he saw me in bed with you, and instead of screaming and demanding explanations;he invited BOTH of us to eat breakfast with him.", Brittany says and Santana smiles and leans in to kiss her, but instantly separate by the sound of the door opening, "Hey, what's taking you guys so long?", Santana's father says smiling at both, "Sorry, . I can't go,mom would kill me if I wasn't in school on time, but thank you for inviting me.", Brittany says and Santana's father nods and smiling at her says, "Rain check then.", "Absolutely. I'll see you later San.", Brittany says and gives her a peck on the lips.
She's about to go out of the door when Mr. Lopez stops her, "Oh, and Brittany don't think you're off the hook.", he says in a fatherly tone, not menacingly but still friendly. Brittany nods and leaves the Lopez household.
Santana POV:
I feel nervous, tense, I'm here sitting with my father to have breakfast as I think what Brittany said, "Either you tell your dad, or I will.","I'm giving you an option Santana.", I am so deep in thought I don't hear my father call me, "Santana...Santana!", he looks confused and concerned, "What? Sorry.", I ask him and he sighs,"I asked you, what happened to your that Brittany girl hit you?", he asked me with anger in his voice and my eyes went wide, "No,dad,she...", I start saying while he takes my hand and cuts me off, "Querida, if she hit you, you should tell me..", angry by his allegations I cut him off, "No! Dad it was not Brittany.", I tell him and he sighs in relieve,"Well then who's responsible for that bruise?", he asks making me swallow, I try to relax and drink some water, my father is waiting for answers, "It was the guy from the other night.", I tell him looking down, minutes past and he doesn't say anything, I'm about to tell him to forget it but he surprises me and says, "Santana, please tell me who is he? I know I've been busy, but I...", he pauses and I know he's trying to look for the right words, "I love you, you're my only daughter. My job is to protect you from assholes like these, so please Santana no more 'Can we talk about this later?', when later never comes.", he finally tells me and I nod,as I feel my eyes start to water. "OK dad, I'll tell you...just..don't get mad at me.", I tell him and he gives me a reassuring smile, "I'll never get mad at you querida.", I smile at him and start telling him everything.
His hand is in his head as I finished telling him, we both stay quiet, "Lo voy a matar.", he says angry, "Dad, I know you're angry but...", I start saying trying to call him but he shakes his head, "Angry? Santana I'm not just angry, I'm pissed!Utterly pissed!", he yells and I can feel people looking at us, "Dad, people are looking at us, please calm down.", I tell him and he breathes slowly, "Santana, I'm going to tell the police.", he says and I start to panic, "No dad!",I scream at him,causing people to look over at our table again, "You can't tell the police.", when I say that he looks at me like if I'm crazy, "Watch me.", he tells me daring me to say otherwise, "Dad, please I beg you don't do it.", I say grabbing his hand and he shakes his head, "Santana, I can't let this slide. Your safety is what matters to me, and I can't keep letting this guy come here and do as he pleases.", he says and I look at him pleading," Please dad, this was my chance to have a fresh start.", I tell him and he still doesn't change his mind, "How can you have a fresh start if he's still coming back?", he asks me and I know I'm done for, "I know I'm supposed to go to the police,but...", I trail off and he sighs, "But you're scared. Santana, you should never be afraid to tell someone about your problems and concerns. Especially to people who can actually help, and that love you.", he tells me and I can't help but chuckle.
He looks at me confused and smiles, "What's so funny?", I shake my head, "Nothing, it's just that Brittany said the same thing.", I tell him causing him to nod and smile, "Well, she's right. Tell me about her.", my father says making me smile wide, "She's just great, and beautiful, and other than you makes me feel safe.", I tell him and he smiles at me, "No.", I say making my father confused, "She's perfect, although she made me cry...", I start saying and get cut off by my shocked father,"Whoa. She made a Lopez cry?", he asks making me roll my eyes and nod, "Yeah, and I felt horrible that day.", I tell him and he gives me a sympathetic smile, "Oh honey.", he says and hugs me, and then separates from me, "So,what made you finally tell me what was going on?", he asks me and I smile at him, "Brittany.", I answer him and he smiles at me.
Brittany POV:
I'm late, and on the second day already, mom's going to be so pissed at me, as I'm getting my books from my locker I hear an, "Hey stranger.", I turn around to see Kitty, "Um... hey Kitty.", "Where have you been? I've texted you.", she asks and I can see in her eyes she's worried, "Sorry, my phone.. I left it at my house,cause I was late as you can see.", I tell her and she nods, "Why were you late anyways?", she asks me and I smile at today's memories, forgetting the douche, "My alarm, I didn't hear it.", I lie and I can see she doesn't believe me, "Well, I was thinking we could, you know relieve tension.", she tells me, with her best sexy tone,but its clear she's trying hard, which doesn't make it sexy at all, "Um..", I'm about to reject her when I hear someone clear their throat, "Good morning...Kitty, Brittany.", she says and I notice the jealousy in her voice, "Hello Santana, having a good morning?", Kitty asks, as Santana opens her locker to get her books , and then turns to Kitty flashing her fake smile, "The best, woke up to a great view actually.", she tells Kitty and Kitty chuckles sarcastically, "Wow nice bruise.", Kitty tells her making her freeze and I glare at her, "What?", Kitty asks me innocently and I see Santana close her locker and walk as quickly as possible down the hallway. I turn my attention to Kitty, "What is wrong with you?", I ask her incredulously, while she looks at me stunned, "It was just a question.", she says calmly and it makes me angrier, "You don't even know what happened to her!", I scream at her and she looks shock by my reaction, "Well, sorry.", she tells me and walks away. I shut my locker with a big slam, and make my way down to where Santana went.
As I walk down the hallway where Santana ran through, I hear a soft and beautiful melody. When I look to see who it is, I stand in awe, when she starts singing, while playing the piano.
They say two wrongs are never right, but nothing's final
A thousand thoughts a million fears, and still a smile
When you run to fast to never see, the colors of every
memory
Slow down the world live another day
[Chorus]
I remember how it used to be
Out there chasing cars and broken dreams
I told myself "Don't look back this is your life."
Someday I'm gonna fall in love for the first time
I remember every piece of me
Oh everything was perfect and complete
So I'm gonna take it one day at a time, one day at a
time
[Instrumental]
I wouldn't change a single thing, that I believed in
A second chance of circumstance, is all I needed
What seemed to fit wasn't meant to be, so I'm keeping
every memory
Slow down the world live another day
[Chorus]
I remember how it used to be
Out there chasing cars and broken dreams
I told myself "Don't look back this is your life."
Someday I'm gonna fall in love for the first time
I remember every piece of me
Oh everything was perfect and complete
So I'm gonna take it one day at a time, one day at a
time
Ultraviolet record highs and lows
Oh It's easier to stop and let it go
I remember how it used to be
Out there chasing cars and broken dreams
So I remember how it used to be
Out there chasing cars and broken dreams
I told myself "Don't look back this is your life."
Someday I'm gonna fall in love for the first time
I remember every piece of me
Oh everything was perfect and complete
So I'm gonna take it one day at a time, one day at a
time.
She finishes with a piano solo, and breathes trying to keep her tears from falling. "I suck.", she says to herself, "I liked it.", I tell her and she turns back abruptly, "You're just saying that because you feel sorry for me.", she tells me and I walk over to her and sit on the piano bench with her. "Nah, I don't feel sorry for you. I just like you and the song a lot.", I tell her and she chuckles. We stay silent for a moment, "I told my dad.", she breaks the silence and I nod and look at her, "Everything, and...", she says trailing off, and I look at her confused, "Santana, what's wrong?", I ask concerned and she turns completely to me and looks me in the eyes, "And, I want you to know who he is, and why...why...why I moved here.", she says and I look at her and shake my head,"San...", I get cut off , "He's my boyfriend. Well was my boyfriend.", she says making more confused , "He...", she starts saying and I can tell its hard for her, "Santana, you don't have to tell me.", "No Brittany you have to know, because I care about you and I want us to work.", she says and I nod and hold her hand, "He... he was at first sweet, he brought me flowers, took me bowling, you know, the first phases of dating. Then we became official, and he was still sweet. One day, at a party, he got drunk and...and I told him I had enough of him, and that when he gets sober to call me. I went upstairs to the bathroom and he came in. Brittany I swear I locked the door, I swear.", she tells me and starts sobbing and I hug her tightly, "Shh... its ok, San. Remember, step by step.", I tell her and she breathes slowly, and then starts again, "He forced himself on me.", I clench my teeth in anger, "After that I became depressed, I didn't want to go to school, but my mom told me to go one day. So I went, and I was late, he was there and was forcing me to explain why I hadn't come to school or called him, and that's the first time he hit me. I ran away,as fast as I could and went to my house and locked all the doors and windows and called my mom. She immediately came to the house and saw the bruise he gave me, she told me that she was calling the police, and I begged her not to call them.", she says taking a pause, "Why not? Santana, they would protect you.", I tell her and she shakes her head, "No, they'll make it worse.", she tells me and I look at her, "So, what happened next?", I ask her and she looks at me, "After I begged her not to call the police, I told her 'Mama, what if I go and live with papa?' , she looked at me and said that, that was actually a good idea. So here I am.", she says and looks at me.
I stay quiet processing everything, "Say something. Anything. Even if you want to tell me you don't want to see me anymore.", she tells me and I kiss her, "I told you before, and I tell you now. Santana, I'll never leave you . I'll be by your side always.", I tell her reassuring her and she kisses me. We spend those glorious minutes kissing.
No one's POV:
Unknown to them, someone is watching through the door window. Pain, anger displaying in the persons face, "If they think they're getting away with this they're wrong. Now that I know what really is going on, I'll destroy them. She's mine, and if she's not mine, no one can have her.", the person thinks and then reaches for their phone and takes a picture of them kissing. "Time to make some damage.", the person says and smiles viciously.
Uh Oh, they never get a break. :/
