The Quarterback

Sad, but I enjoyed writing it as I thought it should've been included in the show.

The quarterback (dantana)

It was a Tuesday evening in the middle of Autumn, Tuesday was date night. But so far Dani had no clue what they were doing, and it was getting late. She texted her girlfriend to see what she wanted to do and started looking In her closet for something to wear. Santana always answered her texts instantly unless she was at work so it puzzled Dani when ten minutes passed with no reply. She was even more confused when she looked at the message to see the read receipt for ten minutes ago.

"San???" Dani sent, before she even clicked off the message she saw that her girlfriend had seen it and smiled when she saw the three little dots appear, not for long before they disappeared and she was left unanswered.

Dani tried calling her considering her phone was clearly in her hands but it went straight to voicemail. It was evident she was being ignored but she just didn't know why.

"Babe, did i do something wrong? If you wanna skip date night just let me know.." Dani sent.

"I need you." Was all she got back and this panicked her, before she knew it she told her girlfriend she was on her way as she slipped a hoodie over her head and her black converse on her feet before sprinting to get her bus. Santana was never distant, she always told her how she was feeling so the entire 20 minute journey was spent with Dani wracking her brain about what was wrong, she knew San had work earlier so it might have been a shitty customer.

Dani thanked the bus driver as she jumped off the bus and stepped into the cold autumn air in front of Santana's loft building. She smiled to the doorman she knew all too well as she made her way up the three flights of stairs up to the loft and took a deep breath before sliding open the door. Still not sure about what she would find.

The loft looked the same. Everything was in it's place but something just didn't feel right. Kurt wasn't walking around humming show tunes, Rachel wasn't in the kitchen cooking something. And instead of her girlfriend sitting on the couch reading a magazine. She was sat on the floor in front of it, her head in her hands.

"Baby what's wrong?" Dani asked as she slid across the floor in front of Santana, as she lifted her head Dani could see her tear stained cheeks and blood shot eyes.

"San honey, what happened?" Dani questioned, fear lacing every word.

"He-he's gone." Santana stuttered before a strangled sob escaped her body.

Dani didn't know who she was talking about, but she just held her crying girlfriend, she rocked her back and forth as she felt her tears falling onto her chests. After a few minutes, Santana's sobs got softer, her breathing slowed down and she seemed to be calming down.

"Who baby, who's gone?" Dani said as she moved hair out of her girlfriends face.

"Finn." Santana replied, barely above a whisper.

"What happened, did he get his acceptance back into the army?"

"Dani, he's dead." Santana cried leaving Dani in shock.

She knew Finn, not as well as Santana did of course, but she called him a friend, one of her best friends. While the two girls held each other Dani couldn't help but think back to the first time she meant him.

*flashback*

Dani was baking cookies with Rachel when she heard the door to the loft get knocked on.
