Glee story, Faberry pairing, Pezberry friendship

A/N Okay this is extremely OOC and probably AU

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, sadly... *cries* lol

She sat on the floor with her back against the toilet stall wall, blood seeping through the sleeves of her sweater, tear tracks disappearing when fresh tears slide down her face next to a bloody razor lying abandoned on the floor.

Suddenly the toilet door opens and the girl is shocked out of her trance, quickly sitting up and wiping the blood off the floor with toilet paper. She's shocked when she hears a tentative knock on the door of her stall.

"Rachel? Are you in there?" Santana calls softly, the pair recently having become friends. A sniffle coming from Rachel alerts Santana that she's in there.

"Rach, please open the door. I just want to make sure you're okay..." The Latina pleads.

The stall door clicks open so quietly that if Santana wasn't listening for it she would have missed it. The sight Santana saw when she opened the door was heartbreaking; a tiny Rachel Berry sitting in the corner of a toilet stall with bleeding arms. She quickly locked the main toilet door to make sure no one else would see the diva like this.

Santana was holding back tears as she helped Rachel up and over to the sink, sitting her on the counter. She got a piece of toilet paper, ran it under some water, and started cleaning up the blood from Rachel's arms.

After Santana put some disinfectant and bandaged the diva's arms she gave each bandage a small kiss; telling Rachel it was to help them heal faster.

"Rach, can I leave you here while I run and get you some new clothes?"

A small nod and a faint "yes" was the reply.

"Okay sweetie, I'll be back in a few minutes."

True to her word Santana was back within five minutes with her Cheerio's hoodie and running pants, quickly helping Rachel change into them.

Santana says jokingly, trying to lighten the mood, "See, I knew if we just got you out of those clothes you would be one extremely hot chica. I think you might even rival me in beauty!" There was a small pause before she chuckled and said "Nah, you know I think you're beautiful inside and out no matter what you wear, don't ya Diva?" She says lightly bumping her shoulder against Rachel's.

After the pair formed their friendship they quickly grew to become best friends. They learnt that they had loads in common and Santana was helping Rachel through her depression and cutting, having been there herself at one stage.

Just as Santana is starting to think about how their unlikely friendship started she heard Rachel whisper "Can you please take me home now?"

"Of course Diva, come on. Do you need my help to get to the car or are you right to walk?"

"I think I'm okay"

The quiet was starting to get to Santana because she's so used to Rachel's rambling, although the other girl always is quiet after one of her cutting episodes.

The drive to Rachel's house was silent and the girls were quiet even when they got into the house. As soon as they were inside Rachel went and sat on the couch and Santana grabbed them some snacks and an extra soda for Rachel because she thought the girl would need more sugar.

When she got into the lounge-room she found Rachel lying on the couch with Funny Girl on the T.V. Santana placed the snacks on the coffee table and lifted the diva's head before plopping herself down on the seat and gently placing Rachel's head in her lap.

A couple of hours, a tonne of junk food and one movie later saw both girls sprawled out on the couch (Rachel completely lying on top of Santana) asleep. This is the sight Leroy and Hiram Berry found when they arrived home from work.

"Aww aren't they just the cutest? I wish they'd been friends since kindergarten, maybe then Rach wouldn't have been tormented so much..." Hiram said quietly, his gentle smile promptly turning into a frown.

An hour later the Berry men came in to wake the girls up because dinner was ready.

"Rach, it's time for dinner sweetie. You need to wake up." Leroy whispered, lightly shaking her shoulder.

Rachel woke up with a groan and silently swore to herself that next time she's going to take pain killers before going to sleep because her arms are aching like never before. Swiftly waking Santana, the tiny brunette gets up and takes some pain medication before heading in to dinner with her fathers'.

"Okay, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow Diva, Berry men." Santana said, about to walk out the door.

"Wait Santana, when we saw you were asleep we called your parents to ask if it was okay for you to stay for dinner and maybe sleep over. I hope that's okay...?" Leroy informed her.

"Oh, yeah, that's awesome! Thanks, if it's okay with Rach I'd love to stay over tonight."

"Of course I want you stay over San, you know I love having you over!"

Dinner went smoothly and the girls went to Rachel's room as soon as they finished washing the dishes.

"How are your arms feeling Rach? Do you need anything? I don't want you to accidentally open any of the cuts..."

"I'm fine San. I already took some pain meds and you already disinfected and bandaged and put your extra special healing kiss on each of them, so I should heal perfectly." Rachel teased.

"Ha. Ha. You are so funny." The Latina said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

The two broke out in a fit of giggles that were short lived when Santana remembered what she meant to ask Rachel since she found her in the school toilets.

"Rach, what happened today to make you cut again? I thought we were making progress..."

All signs of laughter were erased as soon as the question passed her lips. The room was silent and tense for a second before tears swelled in Rachel's eyes and a small sob escaped her lips. Santana immediately pulled Rachel into a comforting hug, leaving a small kiss in her hair.

"Diva, sweetie, you know you're like my sister and you can tell me anything and it wouldn't change my opinion of you or how much I love you."

After a few minutes of Santana comforting Rachel and trying to stop her tears, the tiny brunette sniffled and looked up at Santana with big eyes.

"San... I'm in love with Quinn..." She ended with a dry sob, her tears starting up again with the belief the other brunette was going to shun her for being a lesbian.

Pulling her back into an embrace, Santana couldn't help the tears that sprang to her eyes at seeing Rachel so distressed. Santana realised that they had more in common then she thought.

"Rach, Rach. It's okay Diva, really. I know how you feel. I'm surprised you haven't noticed my crush on Alice..."

At this Rachel looks up so fast Santana was worried she might have given herself whiplash, causing the Latina to giggle a little.

"Are you serious?"

Openly laughing, Santana nodded. Instantaneously Rachel was in Santana's lap with her arms and legs around the Latina, squealing with happiness. Santana's chuckles were muffled because Rachel's hair was in her face. Wrapping her arms around the smaller girl Santana moves her head so she can breathe before yawning.

"Oh, I didn't realise how late it is! We need to get an adequate amount of sleep otherwise we won't be able to concentrate and then our education will be ruined and that will destroy my dreams of being on broadway!"

"Wow Diva, you must be really excited about this; you've reverted back to rambling again." Santana said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, it's endearing."

The small girl pouted and grabbed her sleep shorts and tank top before walking into her ensuite to change for bed, but not before giving Santana a look telling her that she had better be changed into her bed clothes before she gets back.

With that Santana pulls out an oversized t-shirt sleep shorts from Rachel's drawers and dresses as quickly as she can.
