(Santana's POV)

Quinn's driving my car for the first time. I have my eyes closed on the windshield. I just feel so tired now. Finding out that the Purit family was the one that took Rachel's parents made me think of my own parents.

God I miss them.

Now I lost Rachel too.

It hurts more than I care to admit.

I opened my eyes when I felt us stop. Looking around I noticed that we stopped in an empty grocery store parking lot and Quinn was getting out. "Where are you goin-"

She closed the door and walked away, pulling her cellphone out before walking inside the store.

I sighed and leaned my seat back before closing my eyes again. All I could think about was what I did to get Rachel pissed off at me. Maybe I offended her somehow last night aster we drank, or maybe I didn't go far enough with her. I want to figure it out. I rubbed my eyes with my fists when the door opened and Quinn got back in and dropped a bouquet of flowers in my lap.

I picked them up and looked at them before making a face. "Who'd you buy flowers for Quinn? Why are they colored weird anyway?"

She started driving again before yawning "I'm not buying them for anyone, you bought them." I was about to ask what she meant when she threw my wallet in my lap. Looking in it I noticed some cash was missing. "How did you even-"

"I have skills okay?" She turned before talking again. "The coral roses mean desire, the yellow and red ones mean falling in love, and the lavender means love at first sight or enchantment. Also, I was on the phone with Rachel when I walked inside the store."

I perked up and looked at her quickly "And? What did she say? Did she explain why she was mad at me?"

Quinn nodded before turning again "She found out about you asking Puck to ask about her parents being drug dealers. She felt that you went behind her back."

I felt tears appear in my eyes. "I-I didn't mean to. I just needed to find out if the drug dealing had anything to do with them being kidnapped! I...Well I knew that her asking about it and hearing anything about them being bad people would upset her and I didn't want that to happen! I didn't think it would make her break up with me!"

Quinn pulled over on the side of the road and looked at me with wide eyes. "Calm down. She never said anything about breaking up with you. She's just upset. Rightfully so, her parents have been kidnapped and she has no idea what happened." She paused for a second "Wait, no scratch that. She does know. I forgot I told her about you storming into the station and finding out about the Purit family."

It was my turn to look at her with wide eyes this time. "You told her? I wanted to surprise her, I was hoping it could get her to forgive me."

Quinn smiled before nudging my arm. "That's what the roses are for. She told me to bring you over and I figured a bit of a gift for her wouldn't hurt."

I frowned a little. "Hopefully it would help her forgive me."

Quinn started driving again slowly. "Do you think you deserve the forgiveness?"

I shrugged and played with a leaf on one of the roses. "I don't know...I understand why she's mad though. I should have never gone behind her back."

Quinn hummed before pulling up in front of a house and looking at me. "Well. Tell her that."

I sighed "Okay." I went to get out but Quinn stopped me after turning the car off. "Real quick though." She took the bouquet of roses and plucked a lavender one out. "I needed one for my own girl." She winked before getting out making me laugh

We got out and I bit my lip as we slowly walked to the house but we never got there. The front door burst open and Rachel ran toward me as fast as she could before jumping in my opened arms. She lucky I opened my arms or she would've crushed the roses.

I heard her mumbling something into my neck so I adjusted the both of us so I could hear her and I frowned at her mumbled words of apology for overreacting. I slowly backed away from her but kept my arms around her with a frown.

She looked up at me with wide tearful eyes before she moved her arms and wiped my cheeks. I hadn't even realized I was crying.

"Rachel, you have absolutely no reason to be sorry. I'm the one who went behind your back and I should have never done that. I was in the wrong here. Not you."

She bit her lip before she sighed "I over reacted. I should have known that you were just trying to protect me. I just left you alone there!"

I smiled "I wasn't alone, Quinn and the glee club was there."

She rolled her eyes "Because that's so much better."

I laughed. "It is. Quinn helped me through it. That's why I'm here."

"I'm sorry I left."

"I'm sorry I went behind your back."

She smiled. "It's okay. You found out where my parents are, you did it Santana! Now we just need to go get them."

I shook my head. "That's not happening."

"Excuse me?"

"Rachel these people are dangerous. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you. It would be better if I went by myself anyway. They know me. Even if they don't like me."

Suddenly Rachel grabbed my head and pulled me into a rough kiss. I kissed back with all my might before squeezing her hips. She pulled back but stayed close to me. "We do this together or not at all. We're in this together. I'm going with you."

I sighed but nodded. "Fine. But before we do that. We need to have a talk."

She nodded as well "Okay, well what about?"

I put my arm around her and led her into her house before talking "You see Rach...I have a history with the Pruit family..."

Just moving things right along with this chapter.

I also broke three of the fingers on my right hand today trying to catch myself after falling off my board, so I'm learning how to type with basically only my left hand. It's harder than I thought it would be.

Oh well, thanks for reading!
