Chapter seven:

...

I woke up a couple mornings after the disaster at Quinn's parents house. I roll over and Quinn must have been already awake. I stand up and stretch, I pass by Mackenzie's room and I see her still soundly asleep, I start making my way downstairs into the kitchen. Quinn wasn't there either. Being the nice person I am I start making some coffee for the two of us. I also whip up some pancakes for us and Mackenzie too. I started humming a song and then I heard the back deck door open and slam, it startled me.

"I hate my father!" Quinn said slightly yelling. I walk out to her and leave my breakfast at wait. I walk into the living room and Quinn is laying on the couch breathing deeply. "What's wrong Q?" I sit at the end of the couch. "My father said that there was more to you than what you said so he went digging into your past" she said and sat up next to me and I could feel my open and my heart start beating fast. "W- what did her find out"

"Just a bunch of stupid shit that I don't believe, not one bit of it" my heart was racing, "Quinn, what did he tell you?" I slightly raised my voice. "He said you were in jail before you moved here, for domestic violence" Quinn started. "He's been saying since dinner the other night that you weren't good for me, but I don't believe him when he says that because I know you wouldn't do anything like that Santana." She kissed my forehead and I was silent.

I just kept looking down. I never thought this would happen. "Santana, what's wrong?" Quinn asked me. I could feel both of us getting nervous. " Umm, what your dad said isn't wrong" I said moving a little bit away from Quinn. "What?" She asked I could hear a crack in her voice. "Please don't tell me it's true Santana" I felt so guilty. "It is true, I went to jail for domestic violence" I whispered. Quinn's eyes got teary, I paid my head in my hands. "Can I explain?" I looked up into her teary eyes.

Quinn just kept shaking her head. "This can't be true, this is not the Santana I fell in love with."

"Yes it is, I told you I came here to get away from my past" I tried explaining. "So if you got mad were you just going to unleash your inner self and beat me or Mackenzie?" Quinn continued crying, but stood her ground. I was an idiot. "No Quinn, you know what we had was real, I love you Quinn" my sentence got interrupted "Stop! If you loved me why did you keep this a secret for months?"

"I didn't want to hurt you Quinn" I stood up. "That was my old self, then I met you and Mackenzie and it all changed" Quinn just looked down "You were the first person I let into mine and Mackenzie's life, I thought you were different. You proved me wrong." She started to walk away.

"Quinn" I grabbed her arm trying to turn her around. "DON'T' she shouted ' don't touch me ever again"

"Quinn please" I begged. "Please just leave, and never come back" I got up and sighed. "You're the one that I love and I'm saying goodbye"

"Can't you see Santana this is your own fault! If you would have been honest with me from the beginning and explained to me why this wouldn't be the way it is right now. But you didn't and it isn't." Quinn said still with tears running down her face. "Quinn," I started and she then opened the door "Bye" Quinn said silently.

I walked outside and looked at her with my eyes getting teary, I saw Mackenzie making.g her way down the stairs. "Where is Sanny going mommy?" That broke my heart. "She's leaving honey" and then she shut the door, right in my face. I turned around kicked a watering can over and walked to my car. I dug around in my my keys and then started to my apartment. I looked back a couple of times, imagining Quinn running out of the house wanting for me to come back, but that never happened.

...

"So now I'm here" I said the Angela. "So that's it?" Angela asked. "Yep, that's it no happy ending obviously since my mom sent me here because she thinks I'm depressed which now that I think of it I think I am starting to believe her when she says that."

"So it's been months and you havent even talked to Quinn?"

"Nope"

"Before you came here, I was looking in your files and saw why you were in jail for domestic violence, why didn't you ever tell Quinn that?" Angela asked. "She never gave my the chance, I screwed up, frankly just don't think she would understand either"

"Sure she would Santana, you guys loved each other deeply, my advice is go find her, explain what happened and if she really loved you she would understand, you loved her, so don't give up on love" Angela said.

"You give good advice you know that right?"

"Just doing my job"
