Chapter 3: Nailed it

Santana waves Kurt and Rachel of as they leave for NYADA. Secretly enviable of them both as she still hadn't got a call from Cassie and it's been 3 days now.

As she turns around to get ready to look for a job worthy of her presence she hears her phone buzz.

She then picked her phone up as it read the message

11:00pm sharp, Luton Building. One chance-Carmen Tibideaux

A huge smile lit up her face as she ran upstairs to get ready. Before she knew it she was stood in front of Carmen.

Santana knew she only had one chance to pull it off. As the audition came as a surprise for Santana she didn't really have time to prepare, so she sung the only song she knew she could sing from the heart.

'I took my love; I took it down, I climbed a mountain and I turned around'

As soon as the lyrics left her mouth she noticed as Carmen smiled at her as if she knew Santana's pain with Brittany. Landslide was the first song Santana and Britt sung to each other to let them know how they truly felt.

All the feelings came rushing back, and she could barely finish the rest of the song, a million flashbacks popped into her head at once, then she was reminded how Britt was with Sam now and it just made her pissed.

Luckily she finished the song and beautifully enough for Carmen to give her a standing ovation.

Before Carmen could even get a word out poor Santana knelt to the ground her hand used as a tissue to wipe away the tears falling from her dark brown eyes.

'Sorry' Santana said.

'You don't have to apologize, when I heard you sing I felt it was an emotional song for you, and your vocals are amazing the song really illustrated that, great work! I don't usually allow people in this late, but there's something about you, you've got what it takes, you start next Monday, don't forget to thank Cassie' Carmen explained.

Shocked and surprised Santana flashed the biggest smile and got on her phone to ring Rachel.

Although Rachel and Kurt were stunned and praised her, they kind of knew Santana liked the idea of NYADA but they didn't think for a second she could get in, and not at this very late stage.

Although Rachel being Rachel was quick on the mark of questioning Santana, she knew something wasn't quite right I mean how she could get in this late and why was she speaking to Cassie.

Santana denied all knowledge that there was anything other than her pure talent going on and Rachel in the end believed her.
