Brittany stared at Santana, lying in the hospital bed. Why would she do this to herself? Why would she try and end her life? Brittany knew why. It was because of Finn, him and his stupid big mouth. Brittany knew why, but she couldn't understand why.
Then the radio next to Santana, set softly to her favourite station, played a song Brittany knew: "Fix You."
"When you try your best
But you don't succeed."
Brittany was always there for Santana. She had always tried to help her.
"When you get what you want
But not what you need."
Santana had everything she wanted. She had Brittany. She had said so just yesterday.
"When you feel so tired
But you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse."
She would lose her popularity, her status. And she was afraid. So afraid.
"And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace."
Santana had lost her Abuela. But Brittany couldn't lose Santana. She just couldn't.
"When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?"
Brittany wasn't about to let her and Santana's love go to waste. They were soulmates- meant to be together forever.
"Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try... to fix you."
Brittany remembered when she was little, and hurt, and her mum would kiss it better. She picked up Santana's bandaged wrist and kissed it now. She would fix Santana. Make her better, so she had no more pain.
"And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go."
Brittany wouldn't let Santana go. To kill herself. It would destroy Brittany if Santana was gone.
"But if you never try
You'll never know
Just what you're worth."
Santana was worth everything to Brittany. She couldn't give it all up.
"Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try... to fix you."
Yes. Brittany would be the light to guide Santana home. The light that shone in Santana's darkest moments.
The song ended and Brittany looked again at Santana.
"I'll fix you Sanny. Don't worry," she said, and sat down to wait for her best friend to wake up.
