Dani knew she should have said no. Fuck, everything would be so much easier if she had just said no.

She could have come up with some excuse. Some half-ass excuse and ran away from there.

But, dammit, how could she say no to her best friend?

Quinn was getting married. Her best friend was getting married to the girl that plagued Dani's mind since their one-night stand two years ago.

The same girl that was the cause of Dani never going to double dates with Quinn.

The same girl that caused Dani's favorite pillow to be soiled by tears.

The same girl who wanted Dani to sing at her and Quinn's wedding.

Fuck, it took everything in Dani to smile and not cry the hell out when Quinn showed her the ring.

And now she stood at the girl's reception. She didn't know how she managed to not stand up and say 'I object' during the wedding.

"Now we have Quinn Fabray-Lopez's best friend, Danielle Sugg, to sing their wedding song."

Dani forced the smile on her face as she walked up the stage. She looked over to the couple. Quinn was giving her a thumbs up, while Santana ran her fingers through her wife's hair.

Dani had to pretend to ask the band something to stop herself from crying.

When she finally gathered herself, she turned around to face the crowd. "Hey guys. I'm Dani. I'm Quinn's best friend," she said to the microphone. "Quinn said they wanted this song because San-Santana," she laughed off the way she stuttered at her name. "Sorry, all the wedding feels, you know?" Dani cleared her throat. "Anyway, as I was saying. Santana sung this song to Quinn when they were teenagers."

Quinn turned to Santana and smiled lovingly then. Dani had to turn her eyes away when Santana leaned in for a kiss.

To take her mind off the two, she began to sing.

"Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, is just too much, just too much"

Dani shook her head at the lyrics. These were Santana's words to Quinn. To Quinn, and never to her.

"Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?"

Santana found her eyes then. Dani stared into those dark eyes as red lips offered her a small smile.

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay-ay
This crush ain't going away-ay-ay-ay."

She shook her head, slowly. Her eyes never left Santana's as a drop of tears trailed down her cheek.

No this wasn't going away. It wasn't a crush.

Dani had already fallen for a girl that would never be hers.
