"Oh my god Santana you're awake!" Dani exclaimed and she stood and kissed Santana everywhere on her face, making her giggle.
"I am," Santana answered, she looked around at her friends that all had happy faces and tears looking at her. "Um, how long was I asleep?" Santana asked looking a Dani who was feeling so much joy that she felt like she might burst.
"A week and a couple days," Rachel answered. Santana looked over at her best friends.
"You scared us so much you do realize this right?" Kurt asked her.
"Yeah, I do realize that. But I'm all better now," Santana said with a smile. Rachel squeezed her eyes shut and let her body shake with sobs. Santana smiled and opened her arms up, "come here cry baby," Santana said. Rachel walked over and fell into Santana and cried.
"We thought we were going to lose you like we did Finn," Quinn whispered. Santana looked over at Quinn and Brittany who had solemn looks on their faces.
"I can say this, I'm not leaving for a very long time," Santana replied.
"You don't know that Santana," Dani muttered. Santana looked over to her girlfriend. "Santana you almost died, and you're playing it off as some funny joke!" Dani bursts.
"I-I was just trying…"
"No, you know I need some air," Dani said and walked out of the room, avoiding Sam who was walking back in.
"Dani I…. found your thing…" Sam mumbled watching her storm down the hall. He turned to the others, "what's wrong with her… Santana! You're awake," Sam said with a smile.
"Yeah," Santana sighed lookinh at the doorway.
"Oh, you want me to go get Dani? Maybe talk to her?" Sam asked, eager to see Dani again.
"Actually I think I should," Kurt said walking out the room. Smiled in thanks to him and looked to Sam who looking longingly after Kurt. Santana's eyes furrowed before realization dawned on her.
"Sam… what are you doing?" Santana asked.
"What do you mean?" Sam asked looking to her.
"What are trying to do with my girlfriend?" Santana asked more sternly.
"Nothing, just trying to be a good friend to Dani," Sam replied with a shrug.
"Mhm, you were a good friend to Brittany before you started dating her, now I'm sure you understand why I'm just a tiny bit upset that one… you're here and two, that you're hitting or attempting to hit on my girlfriend," Santana said.
"I'm not trying to get with her," Sam said defiantly.
"Oh please I can see right through your large trouty lying lips. Listen to me, stay away from her… don't test me on this," Santana said pointing a finger at him.
"How do you even know she's gay?" Sam asked them. Santana's eyes widened and she was about to go off on him with the doctor walked back in.
"I was informed that you were awake, how are you feeling Santana?" she asked.
"Aggravated, when can I leave?" Santana asked glaring at Sam.
"Well, we have you scheduled for an MRI right now to make sure you're brain if fine. As soon as that's done we'll give the paper work to leave," the doctor said.
"Alright."
XXXXXXXX
"Dani wait!" Kurt called running up to her. Dani sigh and sat down on a bench.
"What?" Dani asked.
"Why did you blow up at Santana like that?" Kurt asked.
"Because she's joking about a serious matter Kurt. She almost died!" Dani yelled.
"I realize that she almost died Dani, so did she, but the last thing she or anyone wants is for another funeral, or for all of to revert back to the way we were when Finn died. She was probably just as scared if not more scared Dani. But she wanted us to be… happy that she's okay not thinking about all the what if's that could happen," Kurt said. He had sat down and was rubbing her back to comfort her.
"Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't have blown up at her… we should head back," Dani said. They started heading back and saw Santana in her bed in the elevator with doctors. Dani started to panic and started to run to the elevator but it closed. She turned and ran into her room where everyone else was.
"Why is Santana going on the elevator? What's wrong?" Dani asked.
"She's fine," Quinn said, trying to calm her down.
"It's not fine, why is she going on the elevator?" Dani yelled.
"She's just getting an MRI so she can be discharged," Quinn said. Dani took a deep breath.
"That's it?" Dani asked.
"Yes," Brittany answered.
"Well not entirely," Sam cut in. everyone glared at him, telepathically telling him to keep his mouth shut.
"What?" Dani asked.
"Well, I don't think Santana is giving you a fair chance at a happiness you could be looking for. So I was wondering if you would go on a date with me?" Sam asked with a seemingly charming smile. Dani stared at him for a while.
"No," she replied.
"What?" Sam asked dumfounded. The others snickered.
"Look Sam… you're sweet and all, but Santana has made me the happiest I've ever been in my life. She's the most caring person I've ever come to meet, even with her bad sides. I don't know what made you think I was ever interested in you but I most certainly am not, I'm full lesbian. Not bi-sexual, so I really don't know where you got the idea of me ever wanting to date you," Dani said. Sam's jaw was dropped.
"I… I mean-"
"Told you Trouty, you had no chance," Santana said walking in, putting on the jacket that the hospital gave her. Everyone smiled at her standing and giving her bitch smirk. Brittany felt a wave of emotions hit her seeing that smirk and having the realization that her best friend almost dying and surviving hit her. tears started slipping down her face. Santana saw this and got worried.
"Britt… what's wrong?" Santana asked.
"You almost died," Brittany cried. Santana smiled and walked to her, she made eye contact with Dani before pulling Brittany in for a hug.
"But I'm okay B, and I'm not going anywhere okay?" Santana said to her. Brittany nodded and pulled back, wiping away her tears.
"Kay," Brittany breathed.
"By the way Santana, when we get back to the apartment, we have a nice little surprise for you," Rachel said. Santana looked at her and took a deep breath, preparing herself for whatever the wonder twins and Dani had planned.
XXXXXXX
When Santana opened the door she wasn't expecting the whole Glee club to ambush her with tears and hugs.
"Well, um," Santana said speechless. Everyone laughed and then the party started. Santana opted to sit since she was getting a headache. After a while, a confrontation happened.
"I don't see why you wont give me a chance," Sam said following Dani.
"Because you're a boy, and I'm with Santana. I'm a lesbian and I don't cheat, I don't see why you're making this so damn complicated," Dani replied stopping in front of Santana while she and the others watched Dani handle this.
"I'm sorry for what I'm going to say, but I don't understand how you can be so sure without having been with a guy. Even Santana was with men before she… realized she was gay," Sam said.
"Correction I tried to make myself straight by being with all those guys, I never was straight," Santana piped in.
"Okay, let me make this clear with a song, just for you," Dani said. She walked over to the stereo system and pulled Santana's IPod out and plugged in hers. "I wrote this song for all those ignorant guys that I've faced," Dani said before music started.

Dani finished the song and Sam the stormed out angrily. They all watched and Santana couldn't help a chuckle when Dani just gave an innocent look and shrugged. Santana mouthed 'I love you' to her and Dani just winked back with a smile.
"Alright, now… this is a song for Santana, because I'm sappy and I write songs for people that I'm in love with, but it's a really poppy song so dance and try to help me not feel awkward singing it," Dani said before she turned and put another song on.
I felt picture perfect
On and off a shelf to a broken frame of mind, a broken frame of mind
It comes back and haunts me
A bullet undercover, it fooled me every time, it fooled me every time
But even if I lose it all
I've got so much left to give, I won't give up, no, no
My heart's on the front-line, I'm not afraid
I will love you
Like I've never been hurt
Run through fire for you
Like I've never been burned.
I'm gonna risk it all like I've never lost
Gonna give it all I've got
I will love you,
I will love like I've never been hurt, never been hurt
You set fire to ashes
You fought through the darkness and brought me back to life, you brought me back to life
So even if I lose it all
I got so much left to give, I won't give up, no, no
My heart's on the front-line, I'm not afraid
I will love you,
Like I've never been hurt
Run through fire for you,
Like I've never been burned
I'm gonna risk it all like I've never lost
Gonna give it all I've got
I will love you,
I will love like I've never been hurt, never been hurt
I will love you and forever
I will love you like I never
Like I never heard goodbye
Like I never heard a lie
Like I'm falling into love for the first time
Yeah
I will love you,
Like I've never been hurt
Run through fire for you,
Like I've never been burned
I'm gonna risk it all like I've never lost
Gonna give it all I've got
I will love you,
I will love like I've never been hurt, never been hurt
Dani finished and Santana stood with a smile and walked over to her before kissing her sweetly.
"Thank you," Santana said.
"It's what I do," Dani said with a smile and a shrug.
