By the middle of the next day, Sunday, I was completely packed. Since it was Sunday, my parents were both home, which was good and convenient for me. I carried all of my stuff downstairs and then sought them out— they were having lunch in the kitchen together, probably wondering why I hadn't come down for lunch or breakfast yet.

"Mom, Dad…" I took a deep breath as I walked toward them in the kitchen.

"What's up, Dani?" my dad asked me.

"I'm going to New York," I stated, and then I held my breath as I waited for a response.

My mom and dad exchanged glances, and then they smiled. My mom said, "I knew that was coming soon enough."

"You did?" I asked.

"You love Santana, Dani," my mom stated, shrugging. "Anything could happen between you and her, but you'll never know unless you go to be with her."

I smiled and wiped away a tear as it fell from my eye. "So you're totally okay with it?"

"We are. You're old enough to handle yourself out in the real world, and Santana is a good person," my dad stated, nodding with approval. "We'll even pay for your one way plane ticket, how does that sound?"

I grinned, but a few more tears fell from my eyes. Tears of happiness, tears of sadness. I was happy about going to New York, but I was going to miss my parents. I wrapped them both in a group hug. "Thank you guys so much!"

"We love you, Dani, and we want you to be happy," my mom stated, stroking my purple and pink hair. I pulled away from her and smiled.

"Thank you," I said again, looking at both of them.

My dad pulled out his phone and started looking for plane times and availabilities. He managed to find me one for early Monday morning, which meant that I would probably get there in the afternoon. Santana didn't start classes for another week, so I shouldn't have a problem about getting there when she wasn't there. I couldn't imagine Santana doing anything other than lay around on a Monday that she didn't have to do anything on.

The next morning, my parents took me and all my stuff to the airport, and they hugged me multiple times before I left. I was so appreciative of what they were doing for me.

I checked my bags and then got on the plane by myself. I felt a little bad for not telling Santana ahead of time that I was coming, but I figured that the surprise couldn't really disappoint her. Plus, I knew for a fact that she wouldn't mind sharing that tiny little apartment with me.

SANTANA

It was Monday, and I was still feeling depressed about Dani going back to California on Saturday. I wanted her here, with me.

Rachel kept texting me, suggesting that I get out of my bed and come hang out with her and Kurt, but right now, all I could think about was my amazing girlfriend back in Santa Monica. I knew that I couldn't go back, but if I could go back in time, I would've applied for every single college in the Los Angeles area. I almost felt jealous of Mercedes at this point.

It was starting to get late in the day when I heard a knock on my apartment door. I figured it was Rachel, so I shouted, "Leave me alone, Rachel!" But there was just another knock on the door. Huffing, I dragged myself out of my bed and ran my fingers through my dark hair. Who would be coming by here besides Rachel.

I opened the door and my eyes widened by a billion times at the person I saw in front of me. "Dani… what are you doing here?"

Dani wet her lips nervously, and then she smiled widely at me. "I'm your new roommate," she told me in a playful tone. My eyes dropped to the bags that she had next to her. She had three big ones, which told me that she wasn't just here for a visit.

"Are you… are you moving in here?" I asked her, my voice quiet.

Dani gave me a shy smile. "If that's okay with you?"

I didn't even have words to express how happy I was as I grabbed her in a tight hug. "Oh my gosh! You're going to live here with me!" I exclaimed.

Dani laughed, and I just about died at how beautiful of a sound that was. "I love you so much," Dani whispered to me. "When I got home on Saturday, I realized that I couldn't not be with you. I love you way to much, Santana."

"I love you, too, Dani," I whispered, holding her close. "When you left on Saturday, and I thought I wouldn't see you for months, I was so afraid that you and California was going to feel like just a dream."

"So was I," Dani whispered back. "It still does feel like a dream, honestly, but now it'll continue on."

Yes, it would. I had no idea how Dani and I were going to end up, together or apart. I didn't know if she was my "true love" or if we would be together forever. All I knew was that California with her was like a dream, and I loved her so much, and I wanted the dream to last as long as it could. And right now, that was enough for me.

I hope you guys will give me your thoughts in a review or a PM, or maybe you'll tweet me on Twitter at BrittzandTana ! I have been getting questions about a sequel, and at the moment, I have no sequel prepared, though this open ending definitely makes it a possibility!
