P.S. im not including the night previously because i want it to be a mystery for a while... ;)

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Santana groaned as she slapped her alarm clock to turn th offending noise off. She shoved her head back into her pillow and mentally slapped herself. She had started a pointless argument last night with her dad. No doubt he would be ignoring her this morning.

She slowly dragged herself out of bed and walked to her wardrobe. She quickly pulled out a black vest top, a sleeveless black leather jacket, ripped skinny jeans and her favorite black boots. She brushed her hair over one shoulder and grinned at herself in the mirror.

"SANTANA!"

Santana's smile faltered as she heard her dad call up the stairs. He must be really annoyed usually when they fight he goes straight to work.

Slowly she made her way downstairs, her dad was standing with an empty bottle of vodka in one hand and his other mad into a fist. He looked pissed, in both ways possible.

"Are you going to apologise?"

"Apologise for what? what did i do?" Santana was irritated and she was going to be late if he continued.

"Well for being the bitch of a daughter you were being last night!"

"I wasn't being a bitch! you were wasted!"

Her dad brought up his hand and slapped her across the cheek.

"Get out of my sight!"

She didn't need to be told twice, clutching her cheek she ran from the house tears threatening to spill.

Brittany had been waiting by what she knew to be Santana's locker for ages and there was still no sign. She frowned and wondered where the Latina was. It wasn't like they were good friends but she wanted to apologise for yesterday.

Just as the bell went a group of jocks came past, including Finn and Artie. Brittany only needed to see the empty slushie cups and hear the word Bitch to know who they'd just slushied. Shooting her boyfriend a glare she pushed her way through the crowed and into the nearest bathroom.

"Santana?"

No response.

"Santana are you in here?"

Still no response.

Just as she left the bathroom Brittany heard a sniff and she turned the corner to find Santana slumped against the corner under the stairs. Covered in red slushy and crying.

Brittany bent down and looked at the girl.

"Hey Santana it's me Brittany, are you alright?"

Santana stopped crying and, with he still closed, shook her head, "I'm fine i don't need your pity"

Brittany scoffed, right that was why she wasn't friends with her, she's a bitch. "Sorry for trying"

With that Brittany lifted herself up off the floor. She turned to walk away, but only made it five steps before guilt washed over her, she couldn't leave her there.

Sighing Brittany turned around and picked the smaller girl up and walked her to the bathroom.

Santana remained silent whilst Brittany cleaned her up.

Once all the slushie was gone Brittany noticed a small bruise on Santana's cheek. She frowned, "Santana, did the jocks hit you?"

Santana looked up at Brittany, her eyes starting to water again, she shook her head and looked down at her lap.

Brittany was confused now, who else would hit her?

"It doesn't matter who did it" Santana stood up and looked at Brittany, "Thank you, i guess" and with that she left Brittany slightly confused.

Brittany spent the rest of the day wondering who had hit the Latina, not that she cared. They weren't even friends so why should she?

Although she spotted the Latina occasionally throughout the day, she was happy and cheerful with her friends, nothing like this morning.

Brittany was still pondering it at lunch, sitting next to Artie and being lost in thought she didn't notice him speaking to her.

"Britt!"

Brittany looked up, shocked to see Artie, Finn and Quinn giving her confused looks.

"Sorry, i was thinking about something, what did you say?"

Finn shook his head, "I asked if you were coming to my party this weekend?"

Brittany nodded, "Yeah sure i'll come, who else is coming?"

Finn and Artie both burst in to laughter, whilst Quinn just rolled her eyes, "Only everybody who's awsome enough to have gotten an invite babe!"

Artie put his arm around Brittany and shook his head. She suddenly felt sadness wash over her, once again he was treating her like she was stupid, she hated that!

All four of them failed to notice a pair of brown eyes shooting daggers at Artie's back.
