My Heart Knows EDITING

Chapter 5

Dani's P.O.V

I walked off the stage, placed my guitar in the back room and walked towards the counter. I started filling ketchup bottles. Santana walked over to me. She just stood watching me filling ketchup bottles. I looked at her, god. She's so beautiful. How can I not fall for her. Wait? Fall for her? Am I falling for her? Santana Lopez, I'm falling for Santana Lopez. I turned again and smiled at her, that seemed to snap her out of her trance. "Dani" she whispered, "Hmm?" I hummed, "That was- you are... amazing" She breathed, I grinned, I turned to face her. "Thank you San, that means a lot. Its crazy, i've known you for 2 days and I already feel like you have saved me" I said, she smiled, 'Oh, you have no idea" she said, she stood up and kissed my cheek, and walked off. I smiled and carried on filling ketchup bottles.

Later that night, San stayed later in the diner, and I went home. Home. San told me that I can stay as long as I needed. So i'm saving up ready to but an apartment. But not yet. I walked into the apartment and nobody was home. I decided to turn my phone on, and check my messages. 36 missed calls, from Jordan. 42 texts, they all say the same, 'Dani, ring me, its important'. I quickly rang him and he picked up after 3 seconds. "Dani..oh my god" he said, he sounded like he'd been crying. "What Jordan? Whats happened?" I asked, scared. "I-its.. Dani, I'ts Karla" He said, my heart shattered. "Whats wrong with her? Is she okay. Please Jordan, tell me she's okay" I begged, I was crying now. "S-she's in the hospital Dan" he said, he was sobbing. "WHY?" I screamed, I was hysterical. "She was hit.. by a bus Dan" He said, my world came crashing down. "Is she alive" I asked quietly, I lost my voice. "Y-yes. But barely, Dan, you need to get here. She's in a coma. They said she might not make it" He said, a sob broke free of me and I dropped my phone. I ran to my room and sobbed on my bed. Just when I thought everything was going good in my life, something like this happens.

I spent the next hour packing my clothes that Santana let me borrow. San. I need her. I need to see her. Just then I heard laughing and saw Rachel and Kurt walk through the door, coffee in hand. I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I look like a mess. I'm still sobbing, and my hair is everywhere. I don't care. I just need San. I walked out of the bathroom, slowly making my way to the living room where Rachel and Kurt are. I walked in, and their heads turn towards me. Rachel gasped and Kurt stared at me in shock. Rachel ran to me as I melted to the floor. She wrapped her arms around me. "S-san" I choked out, sobbing. Rachel stood, pulled out her phone and pressed some buttons. I heard her speak "Santana" my heart melted at the sound of her name. I let out a strangled sob. "You need to come home now. Its Dani" she said, I heard San talking frantically on the other side of the phone and my breath started coming in short gasps. I haven't had one of these since I was 15. I started having an anxiety attack out of shock. I screamed, and everything went black.

Santana's P.O.V

I'm still at the diner, cleaning tables, and its nearly 6 o'clock! I looked around, I'm the only one here. I punched some buttons on the jukebox, and a song came on. I started dancing around the diner, dancing. 5 minutes later, my phone began to ring. I picked it up, "Hello?" I said, "Santana" I heard Rachel's voice and a strangled cry on the other end of the phone. My heart rate picked up. "Rachel" I breathed. "You need to come home now. Its Dani" She said, frantic. I almost dropped my phone, my heart stopped. "Whats wrong? Is she okay? Rachel, is she okay? I'm coming" I said, I grabbed my keys and ran out the door as I heard Rachel shout "Dani!" and the phone went dead. I locked the diner and ran home as fast as I could. I ran inside and gasped "Dani!" I ran to her side, she was passed out on the floor. I scooped her up in my arms and lay her on the sofa. Her eyelids fluttered and she took a strangled breath. "S-san" she whispered. "I'm here, Dani. I'm here" I said, my heart aching. Rachel grabbed Kurt's arm and pulled him out of the door. "We have to go, see you guys in a bit! Hope you're okay Dani" She said. "Do we? Rachel, we don-" Kurt started but Rachel clasped her hand over his mouth and dragged him out of the door. I turned to Dani, and she had tears streaming down her face. "Dani, what happened?" I asked and she didn't reply, I pulled her into my arms and sat her on my lap. She cried into my chest.Tears formed into my eyes. I hate seeing her upset. She means so much to me, she shouldn't be crying. She's so beautiful. Honestly, I think I'm falling for her. Yeah, i'm falling for Dani Hendrickson. I hugged her, holding her while she cried until she finally calmed down. " Can you speak now Dani?" I said, she nodded. "What happened?" I asked softly, a tear slipped her eye, "My s-sister s-she got hit by a b-bus" She stuttered. I pulled her to my chest immediately and she cried again. I just held her, I didn't know what else to do. I know her and her sister are really close. She pulled back. "San, I need to go to Texas, that's where I used to live. I need to see her, she's in a coma" She said slowly, I nodded, this means I wont be with her. "San, c-can you come with me? I can do this alone" She asked, nervously. I nodded, smiling. "Of course Dani, I wont leave you to do this by yourself." I said, sincerely. She half-smiled, still crying.

I held her for a while and then we packed for Texas. I'm happy she asked me to go with her. She can't face this alone. I put everything in one suitcase, mainly my clothes, because she is borrowing mine. I grabbed her hand and we made our way to the door. Rachel and Kurt walked in before we left. "Dani, go sit on the sofa, I just need to talk to Rach? Okay?" I said, she nodded and I kissed her forehead before gesturing for Rachel to follow me into the kitchen. I explained everything to Rachel. "I don't know when we'll be back. I'm not sure if her sister will make it" I said sadly, Rach nodded, "I'll explain to Gunther" She said, understandingly. "Thank you, Rach. I love you, you're like my sister" I said pulling her into a hug, she hugged me back tightly. "Bye" I whispered and walked out the kitchen. Made my way to the living room and grabbed Dani's hand. I pulled her up, and still holding her hand, I walked out of the apartment, suitcase in one hand, and her hand in the other.
