-Santana pov-
Today has been a long one. First day of summer and I am already bored. My pool is fun but swimming alone sucks. I need a friends to go around and swim with.

Brittany is busy with Artie and Quinn is running late. I sigh and look at my phone contacts. I stop on one number and frown. I look at it long and hard before I move off it.

"So you really have fallen for Manhands huh?" I jump and my phone falls to the ground "Look Santana it is not a bad thing I guess...could definitely be worse picks"

"I could not fall in love with someone so vile and bile raising as Rachel 'Manhands' Berry!" I hear a sniffle and turn to see Rachel holding a coat "Rachel"

"Just when I thought everything was fine" She shakes her head and lets out a self depreciating laugh "Who could ever be friends with me right? I thought we had a moment yesterday...maybe that was me hoping to much huh? Goodbye Santana"

"Rachel wait" She ignores me and runs to the back door "Rachel!"

"Oh hey Rach!" She pushes past my dad who looks at me confused "What happened out here?"

"This bitch" Quinn sighs and shakes her head "The bullying is getting too much Santana...what do we get remembered for? Cheerleading, Glee, and being assholes? Is that what you want your legacy in the school to be?"

"Shut up" I storm toward the house "I am going for a walk! Do not follow me anyone!"

I get some clothes out in and take off. I have no destination of walking route set up in mind.  I just let my legs go on autopilot. I need to get some fresh air and away from there.

I end up in front of a tree and fall down. Tears, snot, and sweat pour down to the ground. How can I be such an asshole? Why am I always the worst human being?!

"I am tired of this!" I stand up and punch the tree as hard as I can "I AM TIRED OF BEING SUCH A BITCH! I AM NOT A BITCH! I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE! I WANT A FAIRYTALE ENDING!"

"Then go for it" I turn and see Rachel a little bit behind me "Go for it Santana! Come for me San!"

"Rachel?" I sway as I step toward her "Rachel I...is dory"

I feel my eyes grow heavy and look at my wrist. The bone is sticking out and it looks bad. I see someone running toward me with two other people behind them. They catch me as I go falling toward the ground.

They have nice..soft..arms.

-Time skip-
I groan as I slowly open my eyes. I go to wipe them but my right arm feels heavy. I sigh and try to lift my left arm. That one is also heavy for some reason.

I blink and finally get my vision back. I look at my right arm and see a huge cast. That is what I get for punching a damn tree. I sigh and turn to see my left arm.

I am surprised to be met with a pair of eyes. They are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They are accompanied by amazing hair and a perfect nose. I could stare into these eyes for the rest of my life and be at peace.

"I should go and tell your dad you woke up" I am pulled from the moment and thrown into confusion "I just wanted to be sure you awoke"

"Oh" She nods and I follow her with me eyes to the door. COME ON SANTANA! GET THAT LOPEZ CONFIDENCE! "Wait! Please...please do not leave me"

"Why should I not?" She keeps herself facing the door "What is here for me if I do not?"

"I am" I feel tears forming in my eyes "I am and...and I know I have messed up and I am sorry! I will keep apologizing all of our lives Rachel! I am an idiot! I say before I think, I do before the consequences click, and I have no idea how to be myself anymore! But I am not a hardass! I..I am soft and fragile.....but I understand if I blew my chances"

"I want to believe you" Rachel turns toward me with tear filled eyes "But how can I? How can I know?"

"Because" I hold my arms out open the best I can "I need a hug and I never hug anyone I do not care about"

Rachel sniffles and stays silent. She takes one step and then another. I smile as she soon wraps her arms around me. I pull her into a hug and smile happily.

"Please let me help you" I can hear the desperation in her voice and sincerity too "Please just let me help you be yourself again"

"Ok" I hold her closer and yawn "Just please be here when I wake up"

I can feel her nod as I close my eyes with a smile.

-Rachel pov-
I pull back when her breathing evens out. I look and smile at the girl in the bed. She has no idea how much of my heart she owns. I run a hand through her hair and look over her peacefully sleeping face.

-Rachel singing-

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can't see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you, dear

The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you

I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

"I will make sure you are at your best ok?" I cup her face with my right hand and thumb her cheek softly "You are perfect Santana and I can not wait to meet the real you....I am in love with you so much and maybe not now but soon...soon maybe we can be together finally like I have hoped for, for so long"

"She would enjoy that" I look and see Maribel standing in the doorway "She wears her heart on her sleeve at home and it has your name all over it"

"I can not wait to meet that Santana" I look at the girl sleeping beside me "She seems to be a lovely girl"

"She can be" I hear Maribel walk in and close the door behind herself "But she can also be a hassle sometimes to deal with"

"It would be worth it" I smile and finally turn back toward Maribel "Is this where I get my warning?"

"She is fragile" Maribel sits down and sighs "She could be broken so easy and no one would know"

I nod and sit up more "I have figured that out some" Maribel nods and I go on "Is there something else?"

"My mother died from breast cancer a few years back and I lucked out of having it" I can already tell where she is going with this and I do not like it "She did move up cup sizes but it was that or lose a breast"

"So she had it?" Maribel nods and I look back at Santana "Is she going to be fine now?"

"She has many appointments but everything shows up fine" Maribel sighs and I look back to see her shaking her head with a smile "She went through all of it to be here for someone but she would never admit it"

"Me?" Maribel nods and I smile along with some blushing "Would she fight for me?"

"Tooth and nail" Maribel gives me a wink "I got her so you can go and think it all over ok? We trust you with our babies heart"

I give a nod and a smile. I give Santana a peck on the cheek before I go to the door. I take a deep breath and walk out. I have a lot going through my brain right now.

Main thing is getting ready to help Santana finally be free.

-Santana pov-
"I have known your breathing all your life" I cringe and open my eyes "She will learn too"

"She likes me too" Mom smiles and so do I "I have a chance huh?"

"Yes" I cringe at the tone and as she'd face goes serious "So what is this about bullying, slushies, and punching a tree?"

I am so going to end Quinn next time I see her.
