Santana watched the little pieces of papers falling to the floor. Rachel had just torn their picture, the one that represented the start of their beautiful friendship. She has torn it in little pieces along with her heart. She was staring at them, not saying a word a tear beginning to form at the corner of her eye.
- - Santana... Kurt said softly.
- - I..I.. She...
She picked the pieces one by one, carefully, and took them to the kitchen table. Then she started to ransack the loft looking for a roll of tape and put all the pieces together holding it the best she could. Kurt was staring at her, not knowing what to say. It was obvious that Santana was hurt, really hurt. He knows that Rachel can be a bitchy star, but now she has just crossed the line. Santana finally managed to put the pieces together and once done, she couldn't hold her tears much longer.
- - Oh God Santana...
Kurt held her in his arms telling her that everything will be okay, that Rachel will probably realize sooner than later what she had lost and come back.
- - What we had, it, it really meant something to me. I never wanted to steal her part...
- - I know Santana.
- - Thanks Kurt for being there.
She wiped her tears and stood up giving a quick hug to Kurt.
- - I need to get out of here, take a walk or something.
- - I'll come with you.
- - No, no I'd like to be by myself.
- Okay. If you need anything just text me.
Santana took her light coat and went out to the streets of New York. Feeling so alone in this so crowded town. Rachel was right, their friendship was unexpected since their past in High School but it doesn't mean that they never been friends. Their last year, and this year in New York they have built something. And that something was almost everything to Santana.
I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people, and sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.
Mmm mmm mmm
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around.
And we know it's never simple, never easy.
Never a clean break, no one here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand,
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to.
Breathe without you
But I have to.
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt.
And I can't breathe without you
- - Hey!
- - Woa! Dani what are you doing here?
- - Humm. I work here remember, and I'm on my shift. Aren't you here to see me babe?
She walked so much without thinking that she was now in front of the Café where they all work. Her feet must have led her a way she already knew, good thing she's not lost in a ghetto or something.
- - You don't look good. What's going on?
- - Rachel left me.
- - What?
- - I mean. She left the apartment. Telling me I've never been her friend.
- - But this is ridiculous. Come here babe.
Dani pulled her girlfriend in a tight embrace and led her inside the Café.
- - Why have you two been fighting?
- - Because I auditioned for her understudy. And she saw it like I wanted to steal her part.
- - It's usually what understudy does, no?
- - Yes but I didn't saw it like that. I saw the opportunity, I took it. I thought it would be fun to spend time with Rachel on this project since I don't see her much lately. Well since she got that part.
- - Have you told her that?
- - What do you think?
- - Hey don't be so harsh!
- - Sorry. I'm just, angry and sad, and...
- - Broken. I can see that.
- - Yeah broken, that's the word I think. When she tore that picture of us...
- - Wow that seems pretty serious. Do you know where she went?
- - No, I... don't. Oh my God what if she has to sleep in the streets!
- - Babe, calm down. She'll probably go at Elliott's or to some NYADA's friend. She won't sleep outside.
- - I'm just worrying about her. Even though she said we're not friends... I still care about her.
- - I think you need to go and talk to her about how you feel.
- - I'm not even sure of what I feel right now.
- - You have a broken heart. But I wasn't in love with Rachel.
- - Are you in love with me?
- - What? You are my girlfriend!
- - Do you love me?
Santana never thought about it. She liked Dani a lot and it always felt good hanging out with her, but can she say that she loves her?
- - Dani, I...
- - It's okay Santana. We had a great time together and I really like you but I knew that day would come. You have to go get her before it's too late. She's the one owning your heart.
- - What, Dani, I don't...
Open the door and come in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
Don't know how long it has been
Having those feelings again.
And now I see that you're so happy
And ooh, it just sets me free
And I'd like to see
Us as good of friends
As we used to be
Aah, my love, Aah
You're in love
That's the way
It should be
'Cause I want you to be happy
You're in love
And I know
That you're not in love with me
Ooh it's enough
For me to know
That you're in love
- - Wow, Dani you really think?
- - I do Santana. So go, find her.
Dani leans and place a little kiss of Santana's forehead.
- - See you later. Good luck.
To Kurt: I think I'm in love with Rachel.
Kurt: What!?
To Kurt: Well Dani think so. And I think she is right.
Kurt: That's kind of a revelation. How did she took it?
To Kurt: Dani? She was cool about it. She's the one pushing me to find Rachel and put the pieces together.
Kurt: She told me she'll sleep at Elliott's.
To Kurt: Good. I'll come home and think about all this before doing anything stupid.
Kurt: Good decision. I'll make some Hot Chocolate and we'll watch a musical if you want!
To Kurt: Only if it's Rent.
Kurt: Depressing.
To Kurt: Stop. It's my favorite.
Kurt: See you later.
