We Fly So High

Things seemed to be going fine with the Lopez-Berry family well except for them trying to adopt Quinn. It was proving to be much harder than they'd thought, the case worker had come and done a few evaluations of the family in recent weeks and neither time had been good.

Each time Quinn had been down and distancing herself from the rest of the family, she asked about the two detectives constantly and they'd even caught her calling the two women on a few different occasions. None of them could really understand what was going on with the girl and why she was acting the way she was but none of the adults thought about it to much.

It was on a cool Wednesday when things took an unexpected turn.

The three girls had driven to school together just like they did any other day and were gonna meet up at Santana's locker to walk to class together, it was what they'd agreed to in the car that morning well at least Rachel and Santana agreed to that Quinn just nodded staying silent.

When the blonde didn't show up they figured she may have gone to the bathroom and thought she'd meet them in class so they went to class and sat in their seats being sure to save Quinn a seat. Then, the tardy bell rang and Quinn still wasn't there. They scanned the room until their eyes landed on a specific pair that they knew hated them to no end.

Still, they rose from their seats and walked up to the two who didn't seem to notice them until they were standing over them.

"Where's Quinn ?" Santana asked.

Kurt eyed the two skeptically. They were her best friends shouldn't they know ?

"I don't know I haven't seen her today" he said.

"This isn't funny Kurt tell us where she is. We know you saw her you two are buddies or whatever" Rachel said a slight panic in her voice.

"I'm not joking. You two should know you're her best friends are you not ?" Kurt said.

Santana groaned and grabbed Rachel's hand walking back to their seats thinking over where their blonde friend could possibly be.

"Maybe mama Lopez came and picked her up ?" Rachel said.

"Maybe...that's what I'm hoping happened...she's been-....she's had me worried these past few days she isn't being herself" Santana said.

"It's alarming San. She won't even eat for gods sake...she loves food" the brunette said sadly.

"I don't know what to do..." Santana said racking her mind for answers.

"Me neither..." Rachel mumbled laying her head on her best friend's shoulder.

Kurt watched the two and couldn't help but frown something was clearly wrong...very wrong.

Maribel frowned as she looked down at her phone. The school had called and said Quinn was absent which made no sense she'd seen the girl leave that morning, her confusion prompted her to call the blonde herself but was only sent to her voicemail, so she called her daughter in hopes of getting some answers.

"Mami ? Hey what's up ?.." Santana asked.

"Baby where is Quinn ?" Maribel asked trying to hide the obvious panic in her voice.

"We thought you came and got her...s-she hasn't been answering our texts and calls...she didn't show up to our first class we haven't seen her since we got out of the car.." Santana said her voice trembling.

"LeRoy is gonna come and get you girls...just...stay calm or something okay ? I love you" Maribel told her.

"I love you to Mami" Santana said just before her mother hung up.
