Written in like an hour for stolenfairytale's prompt in the glee_angst_meme ~ Santana dies, but Brittany is convinced she's just sleeping, or in a coma, and that she'll get better
Rated PG for themes
I obviously own nothing.


Santana had stayed at Brittany's place last night, it was cold and Brittany had begged her to stay. Santana could never say no to her big blue eyes.

Brittany woke up to her alarm clock buzzing annoyingly. She groaned and after picking it up and spending a few minutes pushing all the buttons and flicking all the switches the noise stopped. She looked over wondering why Sani hadn't taken it from her to turn it off like she always did, but Sani wasn't in bed anymore.

"Maybe she went downstairs to have some of Coach's morning shake." Brittany said brightly to myriad of stuffed animals at the foot of her bed.

Proud of herself that she had figured out where Santana was, Brittany slipped out from under the covers and headed towards the kitchen downstairs. Brittany was on the third step down when she saw her.

"Sani?" her eyes went wide as she looked down at her favourite friend. "Sani? You shouldn't sleep there, someone might trip over you."

Santana was lying at the foot of the stairs her body was twisted and there was a red stain on the carpet under her head. She wasn't moving. Brittany didn't understand, Sani never ignored her.

Brittany walked down the stairs towards her crumpled friend.

"Sani wake up. Wake up!" She shook Santana's shoulder as her voice grew louder and more high pitched. "Sani? We have go to school soon, we have English first, we have a test! Please Sani I don't know how to get to the room without you, you have to wake up!"

Santana didn't move. Not even when Brittany's mother came down the stairs clutching the phone and crying hysterically to someone on the other end.

An hour later the EMT's were zipping Santana into a black bag. Brittany still didn't understand, could Sani breathe in there? She asked the nice man in blue, he just shook his head and put a heavy hand on her shoulder.

A week later Brittany was in a room she didn't recognise, everyone was crying. Nobody was wearing pretty clothes, not even Kurt who was standing next to her holding her hand. Something was wrong.

"When's Sani going to wake up?" Brittany knew she wasn't supposed to call her that when they weren't alone, but it was just Kurt and he was always so nice to her.

"Oh Brittany." Kurt wrapped his arms around her rubbing small circles on her back. "You don't understand, do you?"

Brittany was confused, what was she supposed to understand?
