-Chapter-90-Decision made-

-Santana pov-

I watch the love of my life walk away from me to the kitchen. I figured she'd be talkative today. Instead she's even more mad. Angela, Rachel, and Brittany have felt her wrath too.

I don't know what's going to happen today. But I do know shits gonna get messy. I really just want this to end already. It was a simple issue.

I wheel into the kitchen and look around. The moms seem confused. Shelby is next to Lucy and they seem to be talking. Well Lucy is talking and Shelby is listening I guess.

Did we really mess her up that bad?

"This is ridiculous mom" Rachel walks over to Shelby "Just talk already!"

"Back off!" Lucy is quickly in Rachel's face "She'll talk when she wants to talk!"

Shelby grabs her wrist and Lucy looks toward Shelby. They have a silent conversation and Lucy sits. Rachel looks completely confused by what just happened. I think we all are.

Maybe this won't just blow over. Today will really end in a mess. I'm so not ready for this. I did not get enough sleep for today to be shitty.

But here's to hoping it gets better.

-Time skip-

It didn't get better. I've been ignored the whole day by my girlfriend! It's absolutely ridiculous! We are all in the club room right now.

Well minus Kurt, Blaine, Lucy, and Shelby. The moms are even in here...the door is closed though. They seem to have scowls on their faces. Oh god we just got trapped.

"You all are unbelievable!" Alex steps forward "Shelby wanted to get more people involved and this was the best way! Now you all do this?!"

"She set the duets up to be different, stand out, and to involve all of you" Judy steps up beside Alex "I'm disappointed in all of you! This meant a lot to her! She wanted to do this for all of you!"

My mom is the last to step forward "Now she is currently waiting on me to resign as director" There is a collective gasp from all of us "She thinks she ruined Glee for all of you...without a director you spot will be vacated to the team you tied with"

"We didn't mean anything by it" Angela stands up and walks down to the moms "S-she can't just abandon us!"

"Like you all did to her?" Angela looks away from Judys glare "We know the full story"

"I have a meeting to get to" Mom walks to the club door "I expect Blazers turned in for school ones"

The moms leave us in silence. This is really the end? We've made it so far...now we are handing New York away. I watch Rachel slowly walk to the piano and take off her blazer.

"Hey" I wheel over to her "What are you doin?"

"We are done Santana" I grab her wrist and she rips it away from me "WE LOST SANTANA! I lost...New York is gone..you all should've just let me die"

Rachel is quickly gone from the room. Soon Brittany is in front of me and takes off her blazer. She places it on top of Rachel's and walks out. Soon more and more blazers are sat on the piano.

After a while I'm the last one left. I look at the pile of blazers and start to cry. My family is gone. I move the piano bench and press the keys.

-Santana singing-

I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound

You tell me that you need me then you go and cut me down, but wait

You tell me that you're sorry, didn't think I'd turn around, and say (that)

"It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I said, "It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat, but it's nothin' new (yeah)

I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue, and you say,

"Sorry," like the angel heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid...

"It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I said, "It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

"It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I said, "It's too late to apologize (it's too late)."

I said, "It's too late to apologize," yeah (too late)

I said, "It's too late to apologize," yeah (too late)

I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

"What are you still doing here?" I look up and see Shelby wheeling in "Wheres the club?"

"We got told you were resigning" I take off my blazer "The blazers are all gone now"

"Who told you is was resigning?" I look at Shelby confused "Who?"

"The moms" She rolls her eyes and sighs "What?"

"I wanted to talk with all of you" Shelby wheels to me "I wanted to explain everything"

"That you are upset about the duets?" She shakes her head "Then what?"

"That I'm...that I have a issue that we are trying to take care of" Shelby ghosts over the keys "We found a doctor who can repair my back..he's in Oklahoma though"

"So you'd have to leave" She nods "Well the blazers will be gone now"

"I see that" Shelby looks at the pile of blazers "I didn't want that to happen"

"The moms were mad" I look down at the piano "They had a right to be"

"I could die" I look at her wide eyed "The surgery could kill me...Rachel came in during the resignation meeting and pushed me to do it...pushed me to get it because she didn't want me to live a unhappy life"

"So you may not come back from Oklahoma?" Shelby nods and I watch a tear fall down her face "Can...can I get one last duet?"

"Of course dear" Shelby smiles and plays some chords "Why don't I test if you've learned Broadway yet?"

I nod and she starts to play.

-Shelby-Santana-Both-

Many nights we prayed

With no proof anyone could hear

In our hearts, a hopeful song

We barely understood

Now we are not afraid

Although we know there's much to fear

We were moving mountains long

Before we knew we could, oh yes

There can be miracles when you believe

Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles you can achieve

When you believe, somehow you will

You will when you believe

Oh yeah, in this time of fear

When prayer so often proves in vain

Hope seems like the summer birds

Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here

My heart's so full, I can't explain

Seeking faith and speaking words

I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles when you believe

Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles you can achieve

When you believe, somehow you will

You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask

And it's easy to give in to your fear

But when you're blinded by your pain

Can't see your way clear through the rain

A small but still resilient voice

Says hope is very near, oh

There can be miracles when you believe

Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles you can achieve

When you believe, somehow you will

Somehow you will

You will when you believe

You will when you

You will when you believe

Just believe

I believe, I believe

Just believe

You will when you believe

"I don't want you to die" I look at Shelby with tears eyes "Please come back to us ok?"

"I will try my best" Shelby reaches and grabs my blazer "If you try your best to bring the team together ok? Save a seat for me in front row ok?"

"Of course" I see my mom with puffy eyes in the door "I think it's time to go"

Shelby nods and wheels to the door. I finally let everything go as I hold my blazer. I'll see you in New York. You best make it there.

-Shelby pov-

I wheel to the car. Maribel got a friend of hers to drive me. They were heading to Oklahoma anyways. So I just get to tag along. I stop when I see Rachel.

"Hey baby girl" she runs over and hugs me "I'll be back ok? You just help Santana get the club together and I'll be there in front at New York ok?"

"W-wh-what if you're not?" Rachel moves back some "What if you don't make it?"

"You have to believe I will ok?" I cup her face and wipe her tears "I'll be there baby girl ok? Either in person or in your hearts"

"Ok" She gives me one more hug "I love you"

"I love you baby" We break apart and I look at Maribel "Hold her and take care of them ok?"

She nods and I get in the car. Here's to hoping everything goes well. I left the plans to Judy. She's who I'm entrusting the leadership to.

"Everything will be ok" I look up and smile at Maribels friend John "You'll make it back to your family"

"Thanks" I look out the window and wave as we pull away "I really hope I do"

Because I don't know what anyone will do if I don't.
