"yeah, i love yo-" santana started to say before everyone's attention was directed to finn punching and screaming at puck, startling delilah and making her hide her face into her 'friend's neck. "hey, come on, come one, get off him!" mr schue yelled as santana felt tears wet her collar bone as the yelling brought delilah back to the paramedics yelling, back to the accident, back to the fire.

santana ran her fingers through delilah's curly blonde ponytail, telling the shaking girl to listen to her heartbeat and try to steady her breathing, the blonde could deal with the odd yelling but the fighting, yelling and loud atmosphere, on top of it being almost five years since the accident in two weeks time, delilah's state was fragile. "tell the truth!" finn yelled as quinn got up, nearing the two boys.

"britt," santana mumbled as the taller blonde whispered something along the lines of her mermaid being sad and how princesses shouldn't cry before coming over to the duo and placing a comforting hand on delilah's shoulder. "look, it's just me and britts," santana assured."quinnie, no, she, there, q," delilah sobbed trying to reach for her best friend, but santana's grip made it almost impossible for her to move and 'protect' quinn from what she could handle herself with. "punk just walked in and sucker punched me!" puck yelled as mr schue tried to seperate the boys as miss pilsbury came over to the girls.

"delilah, you need to stand up, we need to go," miss pilsbury said, sweetly as santana snapped backing something how 'delilah doesn't need to do anything' before the small blonde snapped out of her 'trance', tears still flowing freely, her thoughts calmed down as she finally registered santana's voice and got a grip of the situation - someone had told finn.

"yeah, it was rachel but i wanna hear from you," delilah caught, suddenly despite her breathing still being uncontrolled and tears still streaming down her face, her anxiety was replaced with anger. she knew that rachel had done this out of spite and jealousy- she wanted finn and to do that she had to hurt quinn - that did not sit well with her.

"finn just calm d-" mr schue started before shouting santana over to get the blonde who now had the arrogant brunette pinned against the wall, yelling all sorts of curse words and things along the lines of her hurting her best friend, delilah caught quinn crying out of the side of her eye, only adding fuel to her fire.

"she does what she wants schue, man hands had it coming," santana said, putting her arms up in mock surrender as delilah sent a smooth and quick blow to rachel's left eye before going back to her yelling place, miss pilsbury would be no help in stopping the angry blue-eyed girl and mr schue was occupied trying to stop finn and puck. santana wasn't opposed to rachel berry having a punch, in her opinion she needed it, which left delilah to be able to fight the girl without any interruption, that was until she felt two arms wrap around her, a familiar latina's arms.

"alright manami toyota, we all know you can beat rachel berry's ass, but let's leave it there," santana said, not wanting delilah to get into serious trouble for something as stupid as rachel berry, the girl immediately stopped, feeling santana's grasp calming her anger ever so slightly, she looked sheepishly at rachel before quinn's wavering, raspy voice snapped her back. "i'm so sorry," she said, as finn did his signature chair kick before storming out of the room: "screw this,i'm done with you, i'm done with all of you!"

delilah remembered why she was angry, seeing quinn so upset and rachel's subtle smirk causing her to pull away from santana's grip: "woah, no,no,no," she said, struggling to keep the blonde in place despite having the height advantage. "easy tiger, as cute as you look all pissed off, i am going to have to stop you there," santana said as rachel ran out of the choir room.
