Unexpected

It's been a month since the funeral and Santana was a mess as well as Puck but never really showed it. Santana hasn't been to work in so long. Whenever Quinn comes home she would either see Santana on the porch smoking or in the bar drinking and smoking. Quinn asked her to stop but she won't listen; Quinn and Santana were still talking to each other but she didn't want her to throw away her life. Brittany, Finn, and even Rachel tried to speak to her but nothing seems to get through her head.

Brittany, Puck, Finn, and Rachel went out on double date. Quinn couldn't go because she had college and she knows for a fact Santana would not go. Quinn got home and she first looked in the basement to see if San was there but she wasn't. Then Quinn heard a noise coming from the band room. She went inside and saw Santana playing the piano and while looking at a picture with her mom, her dad, and herself.  

"You okay?" Quinn asked sitting in front of her.

"Yeah" Santana stopped playing and took a sip of her drink.

"You sure?" Quinn pushing a bit. At this point, Santana took the picture frame and threw it across the room making it break into pieces. 

"Santana!" Quinn looked at her. 

"YOU'RE RIGHT IM NOT OKAY AND I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER BE AFTER WHAT HAPPENED. MY MOM IS GONE, MY DAD IS GONE AND NEVER CARED ABOUT ME. I DON'T KNOW HOW IM SUPPOSE TO GO ON WHEN NOTHING SEEMS RIGHT!!! AND EVERYONE IS ALWAYS RIGHT WHEN THEY SAY EVERYONE I LOVE OR IS EVER NEAR ME EITHER LEAVES ME OR THEY END UP GETTING HURT. WHO KNOWS MAYBE YOU'LL FIGURE OUT I AM A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!!!" Santana screamed in tears then smashing her glass on the wall. She broke down and kept punching the ground. 

"Sannie baby please stop, I'm never leaving you no matter what happens. I love you Santana and I don't know how many times we have to tell each other we're never leaving. You say you don't have anyone but you do and that's me and it's all you'll ever need; just please promise me you will never say anything like this again" Quinn held her. 

"I promise," Santana said softly. Quinn stayed there with her and comforted her until she was fine and really fine this time. Santana got up and cleaned up the mess she made and ripped and threw away the photo. It was a process for her to move on. Santana just wanted to forget what happened in the past month. She decided to clean up her act. 

Santana and Quinn started to play music on the pianos. Since Quinn learned to play the piano they played the song 'Hold On' by Chord Overstreet along the keys. Santana sang the first verses and Quinn sang the chorus while they both sang at the end. 

'Hold on, I still want you
Come back, I still need you'

They both smiled at each other and it really helped both of them a lot. They both just stared into each other's eyes and didn't even notice when Brittany and Rachel came into the room. 

"Ahem" Both Brittany and Rachel cleared their throats. San and Quinn came back into reality and smiled. 

"You guys are so cute" Brittany stated. 

"Agreed" Rachel said nodding her head. The two girls blushed and the four girls headed out to the living room. 

"I'm gonna go get something to drink, you guys want anything?" Rachel asked.

"Sprite please," Brittany said. 

"Yeah me too," Quinn said. 

"San?" Rachel asked. 

"Water will be fine thanks," Santana said looking from her phone. 

"So Quinn how's college?" Brittany asked. 

"It's okay, other than the fact a guy asked me out," Quinn said and then Santana looked at her. 

"What did you tell him?" Rachel asked from the kitchen. 

"I told him if your name is not Santana Lopez then you're not in luck" Quinn replied glancing at Santana with a grin. 

"Aww that's so freaking cute," Rachel said coming with the drinks. The girls kept on talking about what they are going to do for their lives in Cali. Rachel still wants to be a singer; Brittany wants to be a dancer, wants her own studio. 

"Britt you know that my dad has a studio an hour from here right?" Santana said. 

"Seriously?!" Brittany perked up. 

"Yeah and it's not in use, so I'll just call the company and your dance studio will be built," Santana said. 

"Thanks, San you're the best" Brittany hugged her. 

"By the way, where are the guys," Quinn asked. 

"On the porch," Brittany said while her smile dropped.

"What's wrong Britt?" Quinn asked. 

"It's just Puck hasn't been himself lately and I was thinking can you two please talk to him" Brittany begged Santana and Quinn. 

"Why me?" Quinn asked again.

"Because you are the mother of his child and you're like his sister please" Brittany pleads. 

"Okay let's go," Santana said and pulled Quinn out on the porch. Finn and Puck turned around and Finn got up. 

"I'll leave you guys to talk," Finn said going into the house. Santana and Quinn both sat beside him.

"You're not okay are you," Santana asked. 

"What makes you think that?" Puck said with sarcasm in his voice.

"Because you don't talk to us anymore," Quinn said. 

"I just don't know how to deal with this" Puck stated. 

"I understand Puck, but we can't put our whole life on hold because of it," Santana said. Puck broke down into tears and cried into the girl's arms. 

"I don't wanna be that type of father my dad was to me and I don't wanna be a disappointment and the only person that can make me do that was her" He cried. 

"You're not gonna be that father because you have other people who can help you and that's us," Santana said. 

Santana has never seen Puck cry like this before or even be open to his feelings. Quinn and Santana held Puck in their arms and let him let everything out. After he settled down he turned to Quinn and asked her "are we taking Beth because Shelby won't stop calling me?"

"I-I d-don't know" Quinn stuttered getting thrown off by the question 

"I don't think we should right now because of my job and you still going to college, we should really think this through; that's what I'll tell Shelby" Puck said.

"Yeah," Quinn agreed. She was not ready to take care of a child. 

"How bout' we go out tonight?" Santana asked. 

"Where?" Puck and Quinn asked. 

"I know a place" Santana smiled. Once they walked back into the house they announced it and everyone went and got ready. They headed off to San's workplace. The diner was open 24/7. The diner had everything you could ask for. Santana didn't really drink anything heavy but a martini. No one was drunk thankfully. Puck went up to the stage and grabbed an acoustic guitar. 

"Hey everyone this song is for my sister and her girlfriend and of course my girlfriend too," Puck said smiling. 

He started strumming the guitar to the song 'Keep Holding On'  by Avril Lavigne. He looked at Santana and Brittany as well as Quinn. He teared up a bit but he smiled the whole way through. He sang the last verse:

'There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through'

"That was beautiful" Brittany got up and hugged him when he went back to the booth. The 6 of them stayed there until 2 am.
