Santana sat there, cold and fragile crying gently to herself as she applies cold water to her fresh cuts across her back. Shes thought about it, suicide. An easy way to leave all the pain and torment behind but she couldn't, she couldn't leave her mum and little brother Mikey, she needed to protect them from Ethan her mothers evil husband, who choses to take his anger and failed life out on the 3 of them. He used to be so sweet, so kind. He had a good pancake business going, he treated them like they were his own family. Santana's mum and dad divorced when Mikey was 1. They still see him occassionally when Ethan lets them. Suddenly business went dry and he lost the pancake joint, his big house everything. Santanas mum used to tell him things would get better but they never did. He started getting aggressive, snapping at Mikey hitting Santana even hitting her mum. Things went downhill since he lost everything.
"Sanny?" Mikey walks in to the bathroom, holding his blanket he calls bou. Earlier Ethan tried to take his bou away from him, he said hes to old for a blanket and that he'd burn it if he saw him with it again. He went to beat Mikey with his belt when he tried to grab it back, but I pushed him out of the way and took the beating myself. Mikey stood by and watched, crying. My mum was in the kitchen, she never stops him she cant. Its like hes controlled her to think shes nothing.
Santana sits up straight, wincing at the pain and pulls her top down.
"Hey Mikey, come here." She holds her arms out for a hug which Mikey soon runs into, smiling wildly as his sister rocks him back and forth dispite the pain.
"I'm sorry, I tried to get bou back i'm sorry you got hurt." Mikey sat there crying and Santana immidiately pulled him closer and kissed his head.
"Hey, its okay buddie. I will never let him hurt you okay? How about I keep ahold of Bou when Ethans home and you can have him when hes at work yeah?" Mikey nodded in agreement raising to his feet and trudging to the medicine cabinet taking out bandages. "Mikey what are you doing?" Questioned Santana, who felt bad he was doing this.
"Up, you have ouchies I've seen mummy do this a hundred times." Santana obliged and lifted up her shirt, exposing her raw, furious wounds to Mikey who all but gasped, and got back to work.
"Sanny, why doesn't mummy help anymore?" Mikey asked, as he wiped clean Santanas wounds as gently as he could before applying a bandage.
"Shes given up Mikey. Hes made her think that way. But don't worry, i won't give up. I will always protect you - ah!" Santana yelped in agony as Mikey kept apologising, saying he was nearly done.
"I won't either Sanny! I won't give up i'll protect us too!" He kisses each covered wound better & pulls Santana's top back down. "All done Sanny!" He proclaimed, putting away the bandages silently.
"Thanks little man." Mikey smiled and played with Bou. "Sanny, can you help me tie my shoes for school?" He asked politely. "Of course my little medic! Go get em then." Mikey ran off to get his shoes, making sure he gave Bou to Santana.
Just as Santana was about to compose herself her mother walked in. "You should of let me do that, does it hurt?" She asked, Santana pulled off her top and put on her cheerios outfit. "What do you think?" "Santana, don't be like that baby." She reached out to try and comfort her but Santana shrugged her off wincing at the pain as she does.
"Don't mum, that could of been Mikey you know? If i wasn't here he could of beaten my little brother into a pulp! How long mum? How long until you would of put a stop to it? Or would you of let him?" She turned away, she couldn't bare to look at her mum. "Oh don't be silly, Mikey was asking for a - a good hiding hes to old for that tat." Santana turned around, tears forming in her eyes as she studied her mother.
"Hes 5 mum, 5 years old and he knows how to treat cuts. 5 year olds should be out playing not tending to their sisters beating wounds and hiding to make sure they dont get beat themselves! No one deserves what Ethan does no one! So you think I deserved this yeah?" Santana turns around and lifts up her top, exposing her cut and bruises to her mum. "You - you just got in the way, always causing trouble. You're always winding Ethan up, making him snap!" Her mother shouted, hunching over the sink crying.
Santana felt no sympathy for Maribel. Not any more. She dragged her face up to the mirror, "Look at yourself mum! You used to be strong, brave. Now look at the pathetic woman you have become, all because of him." Maribel turned round and slapped Santana hard, causing her to crash backwards into the cabinet. She put her hand to her face, craddling her cheek.
"You're just like him, if not worse." Maribel attempted to go up to Santana and comfort her but she just pushed her away. "Baby, oh god my baby I am so so sorry! Don't say stuff like that! I am nothing like him nothing!" Santana rose to her feet, wiping her eyes and straightening her uniform. "No, i'm not your baby Maribel. I don't even know you any more." Santana pushed passed a sobbing Maribel and went to find Mikey to help him get ready for school.
Mikey ran out of Santana's room, eyes wide with fear and one shoe on his foot. "Sanny, Sanny I got to tell you something." Santana picks him up and waits for him to calm down.
"Woah woah buddie whats wrong, are you hurt?"
"Noo I hid Bou in your panty drawer and I can't find my other shoe!" Santana laughs uncontrolaby as she takes him into his room to look for his shoe.
"You, Mikey Lopez are such a muppet aha." Santana pulls out his shoe from the massive pile of teddies and nerf gun bullets on the floor. "I'm not you are! Santana picks up Mikey and spins him around, till he starts laughing uncontrollably.
"Sanny, Sanny stop i need to breathe!" Santana immediately stops spinning him so that he can take deep breaths to calm down. "Mikey speak to me do you need your inhaler?" Mikey shakes his head and takes deep breaths, slowly calming down. "Right you that's enough excitement for today, come on let's get your shoe on and then let's get you to school."
Mikey obliges and sits down with his foot propped up for Santana to put his shoe on. "Sanny can we see dad after school?" Santana looks up at her little brother, his eyes filled with hope and a small smile on his face. "Um we'll see yeah? Come on your all done let's goooo." Mikey jumps up, grabs his backpack and races downstairs ready to leave for school.
