At the morning when she wakes up she feels really tired and her stomach hurts again. It's been hurting the past two days now.
The moment she stands up she feels very nauseous.
She feels vomit coming up and runs to the toilet. She reached it just in time, and vomits her stomach content into the toilet. After a while her stomach is emptied, but the nausea doesn't go away, so she just keeps sitting on the bathroom floor. Just when she's about to get up, another wave of nausea hits her, and she bends over the toilet bowl again. The last little bits of stomach content come out and that's when Rachel enters the room.
Rachel had an amazing night of sleep, and she feels fresh. She is happy, and walks to the bathroom door while softly singing a song she forgot the name of. She knocks on the door, and the only thing she hears is the soft sounds of vomiting above the toilet, and that alarms Rachel.
"Kurt? Santana? Who's in there?" Rachel asks
She opens the door where she sees Santana sitting in front of the toilet bowl. So she runs to her friend. 'Santana, what's up?"
'I'm fine. It's nothing. I'm fine'
'this is not fine.' says Rachel.
"Hey girls what happen?" Said Kurt
"Nothing!" Said Santana while flushing the toilet.
"Santana you look awful"
"Thanks Hummel"
"You know what i mean"
'Take this, you will feel better.' Said Rachel while handling her some pills.
'Thanks'
'do you think you can walk to your bed, because that is where you're gonna spend the day.' said Kurt while helping her stand up.
"Yes i can walk and i'm not going to bed guys. I have to work."
"I'll take your shift" Said Rachel.
"Why you two suddenly worry about me?"
"Santana we care about you. Rachel will take your shift and i will take you to the doctor."
"What? No, no, no. I'm fine. Okay?" Said Santana while walking to her bedroom to dress up.
"you look awful, you just threw up and you've been complaining that your stomach hurts for 2 days, you need to see a doctor, Santana"
"No Berry, absolutely not. I know my body, and I know how I feel. I can take care of myself you know…'
'Okay, do whatever you want, but don't blame us when you still don't feel good tonight.'
The moment she goes out of the room she feels her stomach hurting, she doesn't get enough air and she feels really weak.
She gets dizzy, her legs are trembling and she feels like she is gonna pass out, Her stomach hurts really bad and then she feels a wave of nausea coming up. She falls forward, and everything comes out. She's vomiting and crying, and it feels like she has gone deaf and blind.
Rachel and Kurt went running next to her.
"Use this" Said Rachel while putting a bowl in front of Santana for her to throw up.
Santana did not even notice Rachel and Kurt, But now she can't stop thinking how embarrasing this is. after throwing out everything that was in her stomach she gags a few times, but then she just sits there, staring at the floor.
"Rachel can you get something to clean the floor?" Said Kurt and Rachel just nodded. "Santana can you stand up?"
"Yes i can, i'm fi..." Santana's phrase was cut by a wave of vomit again.
"I can see you're feeling great right now" Said sarcastilly Kurt. 'Santana, you haven't been feeling well for a few days now, and you almost fainted, vomiting all over the floor. We're going to a doctor.'
'You're gonna put on some clean clothes, and while you're doing that we're gonna call the doctor to ask when we can come.' Said Rachel while cleaning the floor.
"Can you dress up alone or do you need some help?'
'I can do it by myself, guys, I'm just a little sick'
Once they get to the clinic they introduce to the doctor, and then they follow him to his room.
When they are inside his room he closes the door, and they sit down, he behind his desk, and Kurt, Rachel and Santana in front of it. He looks at Santana for a moment, and then he asks 'So Santana, what is the problem?'
'My stomach has been hurting the past days, it's not a big problem but they thought i had to come here'
"Santana's problem is worse than that" Said Rachel.
"She almost fainted today and she's been puking all morning" Continued Kurt.
'Okay, that's quite a story. Santana, can you please be honest with me?'
'I am being honest,'
'So you said your stomach's been hurting, right?'
Santana nodded
ill make an ultrasound. Just lay down there.' Santana stands up, and walks to the bed doctor's pointed at. She lies down, and looks at the doctor."
'Can you pull your shirt up, then I can put this gel on your abdomen.' She pulls her shirt up, and shivers when the gel touches her skin, it is cold.
"I can't find anything wrong"
He said and gives her a paper towel to wipe the gel of her stomach, when she is finished he takes the towel, and throws it in the trash can. Then he sits down, and says to her 'Sit down, we need to talk about how to treat your sickness.' She sits down, and he continues 'I want you to rest for a few days, just in bed, or on the couch.
You also need to eat and drink enough. I think that will fix the problem, but you really need to rest.' While he is talking, Santana's thoughts are going somewhere else. She feels nausea coming up again, and looks around to see if there is something to vomit in. 'A meter to your right, a trash can!' a small voice inside her head says. She quickly reaches for the trash can, just in time, because the moment she gets hold of it, her vomit splashes into it. She doesn't know how there even can come vomit out of her, she can't remember eating in the last 2 days, but it's better than nothing coming out.
Rachel jumps up from her chair when she sees Santana vomiting again, she pulls Santana's hair back, feeling helpless and disgusted.
After a few minutes Santana is finished, and she looks up, her eyes teary because her stomach hurts really bad.
The doctor stands up, and gets a glass of water for her. She takes it, and silently takes a few sips. He then breaks the silence by saying 'I'm also gonna give you some medicine against nausea and some pain killers, don't forget to take them a few times a day."
When they got to the car Santana laid down in the back seat.
"How are you feeling?" Asked Rachel.
"I think i have to throw up"
"Kurt stop the car" Said Rachel.
"Why?"
"Just stop it. Now"
But when he did it it was too late since Santana had already thrown up.
"Rachel. Open the windows. Now" He was mad at Santana. He knew she couldn't help it but still.
"I'm sorry" Said a weakened voice from behind.
Once they got back home Kurt helps Santana getting out of the car, and for once she doesn't complain. She feels really bad, still extremely tired and nauseous, and her stomach started hurting really really bad. She slowly walks to her room and changes her dirty clothes and goes straight to her bed, she feels like she could sleep for weeks, and she lies down curled into a ball.
"Wait a minute" Said Kurt while sitting next to her. "You need to take your pills"
She slowly sits down and takes the pills.
"Thanks" Says in a weakened voice. "I'm sorry for what happened to your car,"
"It's ok. Now go to sleep. Yes?"
Kurt goes to the living where Rachel is.
About thirty minutes later they are interrupted by Santana, who is shouting their names. They both stand up and walk to Santana's bedroom. And as soon as they open the door they realize Santana is definitely not feeling well. She is sitting bent forward, her arms wrapped around her stomach, and tears streaming down her face. They both run to the bed and sit next to her, stroking her back, trying to calm her down
'Calm down, it's gonna be okay."
"Shhh Santana.' It's okay, it's okay"
They whisper.
'It hurts… So much….' She said while tears run down her face. Talking just makes the pain worse. Neither Rachel or Kurt have ever seen her cry so bad. Something it's definitely wrong.
Santana is almost passing out because of the pain, she tries to talk to explain what's wrong, but she really can't get anything out of her mouth.
"Santana, we are going to take you to the hospital, yes? Everything will be okay."
Kurt carefully laid Santana in the backseat and Rachel sits with her laying Santana's head in her lap.
"Santana. Santana" Said Kurt. "We need you to breath slowly. Ok?"
"Yes, can you do that for us?" Said Rachel in a soothing thone.
Santana just moaned as the pain continued to tear trought her stomach.
"Rachel. Rachel. I think i'm gonna..." Said Santana before throwing up again on the car and this time on Rachel's shoes too.
"It's okay. It's okay. Kurt can you hurry up?" Said an annoyed Rachel.
"I'm sorry" mumbled a crying Santana. The pain was just getting worse.
Once they got to the waiting room they waited for ten minutes with Santana crying and moaning in pain.
They tried to fill up the papers just to realize they know nothing about Santana. Starting from her birthday to things she was allergic to.
When they got into the doctors office they laid down Santana on the stretcher and she curled into a ball pushing her legs against her abdomen and after the doctor asked a couple of questions, he procedeed to examine Santana.
'Hello Santana He says, but she isn't reacting. 'Santana, I need you to lay down, otherwise I can't examine you.'
'O… Okay' It's the first thing Santana said since they got into the doctors office.
'Santana, I'm gonna pull up your shirt, and then I'm just gonna feel your stomach.' He carefully pulls up her T-shirt, and then puts his hands on the left of her stomach. He softly pushes, but that's enough to make her scream of pain 'AAAAAAHHAAAAHH STOP! PLEASE STOP!' she cries.
'I am so sorry, but I need to do this in order to find out what's wrong with you.' The doctor says, and he continues softly pushing certain points of her abdomen. Santana is feeling lightheaded because of the pain, and suddenly everything is black.
She dreams about her being a big star, about her parent's, about Brittany, about her abuela, about the Glee club and suddenly she hears someone calling her.
"Santana? Santana can you hear me?"
It was Sam.
She slowly opened her eyes just to find herself in a room she didn't remember being in with Sam, Mercedes, Blaine, Rachel and Kurt.
"What? What happened? Why am i here?" Santana said trying to sit down.
"No, don't sit like that" Said Mercedes while slowly pushing her back.
"You don't remember anything?" It was Blaine talking this time.
"No." Said Santana quietly. "My stomach hurts."
"That's why you're here" Said Rachel.
"Your mom is coming from Lima to see you and we left Brittany a message" Said Kurt.
Suddenly the doctor walks into the room.
'Hi Miss Lopez. I see you're awake. I've got some good news for you. We've got the outcomes of the test, and there is nothing severe going on with you. Your pain was caused by a blockage in your intestine, and it fixed itself. We will keep you one night for observation, but I think you can be discharged tomorrow morning.'
"Thank you" Said Santana quietly. 'I'm sorry for all of this drama guys.'
'It's not your fault.' Kurt says.
"The important thing is that you're okay now. It was awful to see you in so much pain" Said Rachel."
"I wanna go"
"We're going soon. Yes? You just try to rest a little more."
