I got the bus to school today, before Tina arrived, so that i didn't have to have her to deal with. It was weird and lonely, but i just couldn't bare her endless babbling today.
I avoided Tina and Santana in the corridors. But in the end i could run but there was nowhere to hide. Before fourth period i was walking to my locker when i saw that they were both stood against it, looking serious. Tina saw me looking and nudged Santana. She looked up. We locked eyes for a second, and it was hard to hold the tears back. It was only a second though because before i knew it i was sprinting through the corridors to the bathroom.
Luckily it was empty, so all the drama would go unheard. I locked myself in one of the cubicles before the two of them burst through the door.
"Annie, look we just need to talk." It was Tina, a little out of breath.
"Just leave me alone okay? I don't need your pity!" I screamed back.
"Oh come on you've known me for how long? 10 years? And you're hiding from me because you think i'll treat you different?" She asked sharply.
"Firstly it's 9 and a half years and no I'm not hiding from you because you'll treat me different, I'm avoiding you because i don't want to talk about it."
"Annie come on. I miss you, I'm sorry okay? I shouldn't have told her, i broke a promise and i was stupid but i was always thinking of you. I didn't mean to hurt you, i wanted to do the exact opposite!" This time it was Santana speaking.
"Go away!!!" I yelled, with tears escaping and rolling down my cheeks.
"I wont leave you here." She whispered something to Tina and i heard Tina protest a little, but it was Santana, she always got her way... Just not with me. I heard the restroom door close and thought they had gone until Santana spoke again.
"It's just me and you now Annie, please come out." The bell sounded. "Please." She sounded desperate now. I wasn't going to budge though. I heard her open the door of the cubicle next to me, then a little bit of rustling and banging and soon she was climbing over the top of the wall that separated the two cubicles. I couldn't help but laugh a little and that made her stop and look at me for a second, happy. This was a bad move because she tipped slightly and was soon falling into the cubicle. I reached up quickly to grab her. I caught her by the waste and stopped her from falling, but she wasn't saying anything. My top had risen a few inches when i reached to catch her and she had seen the cuts, not all of them though. She looked up into my eyes and i saw a tear escape before my own eyes filled up. Before i knew it we were wrapped around each other and once again i was crying into her shoulder. "Oh Annie." She whispered to me. "This is my fault I'm so sorry. Oh my god, im so sorry Annie!" she said and held me tighter. "Im so sorry." She was whispering now and i felt a few tears drop onto my own shoulder.
"It's not your fault! It's mine, i shouldn't have done it, it's stupid! I can't believe i did it." I said as i pulled away slightly to wipe away my tears.
"Its okay, none of that matters now, all that matters is that you're okay now and you're gonna stop... You are gonna stop right?" She asked, concerned as we both sat down on the toilet seat together.
"it's hard, really hard though. I cant be sure enough to make any promises."
"That's okay, it will take time. I understand that. But we'll get through this together." She took my hand and turned slightly so that she was looking into my eyes. "Together." She whispered.
"Together." I whispered back and leaned my head on her shoulder. Her hand was still on mine and my head was still on her shoulder by the time the next bell went. I made to get up, but she pulled me back down and told me to stay a little longer. So i did. I eventually fell asleep on her shoulder, until i was woken up by the end of day bell. I looked up at her and she smiled sweetly back at me, but a tear escaped her eye as she said "good morning sleepy head." I laughed slightly but reached up to wipe the tear from her cheek "lemme get that for you." I whispered to her.

We walked together to find Tina waiting for us, leaning against the gates. She looked up to see us and stood up straight. She looked intrigued and i knew she was dying to know what happened.
"So?" She asked, looking at Santana more than me. "What happened?"
Santana went to speak but i cut her off "don't worry about that now T, all you need to know is everything's okay now, everything's back to normal."
She looked unconvinced. "You sure?" She asked softly.
"Yeah don't worry about it."
"Okay. You ready to go then?"
I exchanged a look with santana.
"Sorry T i umhh-"
"Im gonna take her to my place for a bit if that's okay with you?" Santana asked a little too forcefully.
"Yeah whatever, thats fine." Tina answered a little annoyed.
"Thanks T." I said before walking with Santana to her car.
We got into the car and started to drive, but after about 5 minutes she pulled over at the side of the road.
"What are we doing here?" I asked a little confused.
"Annie I-I" her voice broke a little and she looked close to tears.
"Santana? What is it?" I asked, concerned.
"My mom texted me while you were sleeping in the bathroom. My grandad... M-my grandad died." A few tears spilled out but she quickly wiped them away.
"Oh Santana. Im so sorry." I said sympathetically as i leaned over to give her a hug. She hugged me back tightly before she pulled away.
"Right." She said as though nothing has happened. "Wanna go to breadstix?"
"Santana i-" i was trying to say that i think maybe thats not a good idea, but she cut me off before i could say anything.
"Actually that wasn't a question, we're going to breadstix."
"Oh" i said quietly. "Okay then."
