Chapter 5:

"Santana, what are you doing?" Rachel whispers, not wanting to startle the girl.

"I'm doing what everyone wants me to do." Santana says simply, as if killing yourself is something you do every day.

"San, baby, please listen to me! Nobody wants you dead!" Rachel exclaims, willing herself to stay calm, because she knows if she freaks out, Santana will do the same.

"Rachel, you heard them. Nobody wants me around. My dad, everybody at school, including the people in glee club-"

"What about me? I want you around, San."

"I know, and I hate to do this to you, Rach, but sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do."

"No you don't! Just stay please! Just think of all the people that love you!" Rachel begs.

"I'm unloved, Rach. All people see when they look at me is a slut, bully, and an un-emotional bitch. And that's all they're going to be able to see. Now I have to go. Goodbye, Rachel." Santana takes one foot off the roof.

"Santana, I love you!" Rachel shouts desperately.

"I thought my dad loved me." Santana says, her voice shaking with tears.

"Not that kind of love, San. I'm in love with you! I know you better than anyone else, even Brittany. I know that you love being the big spoon when we cuddle, and that you secretly love Broadway. And I also know that you're stronger than this, Santana. So please, get down. For me, and for yourself."


Will Santana listen to Rachel? Or will she do what she originally planned to do?
