CHAPTER 8: DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY

Franklin's Diner...

"So, this Chicken Burger is for Table 3, Fries Spaghetti, and these drinks for Table 9…", Ali dictates as she biting the pen she's holding… She was the first person that I got close to when I started working here in Franklin's Diner a couple of weeks ago.

"Aha, noted! Is there anything else?", I ask for more as I get the trays from the counter.

"Nope, that will be all…", She says as she winked at me.

Yep, I'm working as a waitress … Santana Lopez… working as a waitress. I can tell that working in a Diner was very exhausting, much of an exhausting as I practice every day when I was a Cheerio in High School. Well, this is kind of different actually… No Sue Sylvester, No running around the campus five fucking times and I can eat what I wanted to eat, but still I have to maintain my glorious body.

"Table three. Hi, your order is complete.", I said as I smile back to the customer at that table.

"Table ni-.. Where's?", I asked to no one and getting confused, 'cause no one's sitting at that table.

"Oh, hi Jesse, have you seen customers at this table?", I asked Jesse, one of my co-workers as I pointed to the table.

"Umm, yeah, actually I only seen a kid, hmmm, right there.", She pointed, "Yah, that blonde kid."

"Thanks!" I left the tray on the table nine and make my way towards the little blonde.

"Hi angel, what are you doing here by yourself?", I asked with a smile on my face.

"First of all, neym is not Angel. Second of all, I is nevur give you my neym 'cause you is stranger, but you can call me Boo-Boo, that's how my mommy calls me. Third of all, I don't have a 'third of all' actually." She said with a goofy smile on her face. Whoa! It was really a sarcastic answer to my 'Hi' to her, but I can't get mad 'cause she's smiling and looks so innocent that saying all of that was just normal for a kid like her.

"Wow, that was nice of you.", I snorted, "How old are you kiddo?", I said as I kneel down to talk to her better.

"I is three!", She answered as she counts her fingers, "hmm, I wants to pee, can you take me to the bathroom?"

"Of course Boo-Boo.", I said as I shuffle her hair, "but we better get fast, 'cause your food is already on yours and your mommy's table, and she might be back any second.", I told her.

"'Kay.", She smiled and gripped the hem of my skirt.

______________________________________________

"F'nish!", She shouts from the last on the left cubicle door.

"Okay, come here, let's wash your hands.", And the little blonde did what Santana said.

"Boo-Boo, are you there?!", I heard a familiar voice outside the bathroom.

"That's my mommy! Hmm, I is going, stranger! Tenchu!", She thanks and left. But I need to see that little girl's mother, she really sounded familiar… but when I'm about to go outside and see, Ali came.

"Santana, I think you forgot to turn off your phone, it keeps on ringing in your locker and actually you forgot to lock your locker, so I got your phone, here…", Then she handed me my phone.

"Thanks!", I said as she's about to go back in the counter area.

As I check out my phone, I saw many messages and miscalls from Rachel… Well, I have nothing to be scared about, it's just sometimes… Well, actually all the time, Rachel was such a drama queen. But still, I did a dial call back to her.

"Hey, munchkin. Why is it that you called and tried to explode my phone? Well, just a reminder, it's a new model of apple, so if-WHAT?", I was shocked when Rachel blurt out and told me why she was trying to call me so many times, "Where is she?", I asked for more, "Okay, I'll be there real fast!"

Omg, Quinn is in the hospital, and in the emergency room…

"Hey, Santana! Where are you going?", My manager asked out loud.

"I have a family emergency! I promise to take overtime tomorrow!", I shouted as I ran fast towards the door.

"Report to me tomorrow!"

"'Kay!"

______________________________________________

"Rachel!"

"Santana! Oh god!"

"Where's Quinn? I need to see her! Where is she?", I'm so fucking desperate to see her now, and I'm shaking from the thought that I might lose her.

"Santana, please take a seat and just calm down, you're making me nervous.", She said calmly.

"How can you be fucking calm? How am I supposed to be fucking calm? She's in the ER, Rachel! And what the hell happened anyway!?"

"She got into a car accident again, but she wasn't unconscious when the paramedics got her here… One of the nurses told me.", She explained, "And why are you wearing an apron? Do you cook in your class? But NYADA doesn't ha-"

"I will explain everything after I see Quinn, okay?", I snapped back as I take off my apron. Jeez, why did I forget to take this off? Well, of course Quinn is more important than an apron!, "May I please put it in your bag for awhile?"

"Sure.", So I put it in.

"How many hours have passed?", I asked.

"3 actually."

"3? And we didn't get any information? Fuck! This is serious…", I'm so tense and angry right now… Why the hell on earth, of all people! Quinn!?

"Santana, for the millionth time, will you plea-"

Then the ER door just opened, and a big black guy in a long white coat appeared.

"Hi, are you Quinn Fabray's family?"

"Yes!"

"No."

Rachel and I both say in unison. So the doctor starts eyeing the both of us.

"Urgh! Fine, Listen doctor! We are family, but not literally. Her parents are in Ohio, she's studying here, we're her friends. So the only family that she has now is us! So, if you don't mind?"

"Okay, I understand… But just one person at a time, and don't make it too long, she needs complete rest.", He warned.

"Wait, before I go, I need to know what happened to her? Is she okay? Is this something serious?"

"Well, it is kind of serious, she fractured her left leg, but she can still walk, that's for sure. And she has some stitches on her forehead. You don't have to worry. She's going to be fine.", He gave me a smile of hope.

As I'm about to enter the room, my heart beat starts to get faster and faster, I don't know… But if I see Quinn's face like she put black eye shadow all over her face, I will fucking haunt whoever is the blame for this.

"Hey.", She's awake.

"I hate you, Fabray!", Then she just answered me with a chuckle!

"Why are you laughing? It's not funny!", I added as I sob.

"Because you're crying as if you're the one who's lying in this bed!", She chuckled again.

"How's your leg?", I ask with worry.

"Good news, I can feel them!", She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Yeah that was good to know… That means you can spread those for me.", I smirk, but hey that was just a joke.

Quinn's jaw drops… She gets her pillow from her back, and throws it at me "Santana! You are such a pervert!"

"I'm kidding! I'm kidding!", Then she throws another pillow at me.

"Omg! Fabray, you're just lucky I can't throw these back at you!", I added.

"Fine, give those back to me.", She orders like she's some sort of boss.

So I handed all the pillows that she threw.

I sighed and sat on the stool beside her. I looked into her eyes as I stroked her blonde hair. "Can you promise me something, Q?"

"What is it?", We both got serious.

"Can you promise not to leave me? I don't know what I'd do if I lose you… I don't know if my life would work again without you.", I confess as I look into her beautiful hazel brown eyes.

She's squeezing my hand, like it tells me she never will.

"You know I will never do that. You're my best friend, and I love you."

"I know.", I kiss her forehead.

"And please, Fabray! Stop being a reckless driver! Seriously, you're not playing 'Need For Speed', or a part of 'Fast and the Furious', I'm serious!", But I couldn't handle not to laugh.

So we burst out of laughing.

Then we hear someone's knocking from the door.

"Santana, aren't you finished yet? I need to see Quinn!", That was Rachel. Bad timing, like always.

"Give her a chance, S.", Quinn said and I gave her a nod.

______________________________________________

2 days later... Back in the Apartment...

"Welcome home, Quinn!", Kurt shouts as he popped open a bottle of Champagne, and gave her a hug, then Rachel did too as Santana put down the bag she was carrying.

Quinn scanned the whole apartment from where she stood, full of pink colors, Barbara Streisand, looks like Rachel is to blame for it.

"I-I don't know what to say!", She giggles, "Kurt, thanks for all of these, and Rachel I know you did all of this."

"How'd you know? I tried not to over show it that I'm not a part of it!", Rachel asked confuse.

"I think I just had a Mexican third eye like Santana had after my car accident.", Quinn smirked and looked at Santana…

Yah of course, it was just a lie!

"Oh! Cool!", She said with a goofy smile.

"So! Me and Rachel were about to go outside for awhile, and you two just enjoy everything in here.", Kurt said and gave a wink to Santana.

Rachel of course gave Santana a good luck hug… Both Kurt and Rachel leave Santana with a confused blonde by her side.

"What's going on?", Quinn asked after the two slide the door close.

"Well, since it is your little welcome party… Me...myself...and I have something for you.", Santana started to walk towards the back of the couch and got a bouquet of flowers, "These are for you."

She offers to Quinn… And so Quinn took it.

"Thanks… These… These are beautiful.", Tears form in her eyes then she smiled and hugged Santana, "I'm lucky you're my best friend and you're dating me."

"Which is why, I need to feel lucky too… So, wait. Let me put on some music… Here it goes."

The guitar instrumental started to play and it gave chills to Santana, it was one of her favorite songs… Never had she shared this with someone.

"May I have this dance, my Quinn?", Santana asked like a prince does in a fairy tale.

"Of course you may.", Quinn swayed her dress and giggled.

They started to sway as the lyrics starts.

I have loved you only in my mind

But I know that there will come a time

To feel this feeling I have inside …

Santana closed their gap and hugged Quinn tighter while swaying… Then Santana started humming the sound of the music…

"You're a hopeless romantic" is what they say

"Falling in and out of love just like a play "

Memorizing each line, I still don't know what to say

What to say...

Santana loosened the hug, but her hand still with Quinn's, and the other around her waist. She looked to Quinn eye to eye, and started singing the chorus.

Don't know what to do whenever you are near

Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears

When you pass by I could fly

Ev'ry minute, ev'ry second of the day

I dream of you in the most special way

You're beside me all the time

All the time...

Santana was about to continue until the second verse but then she was shocked when Quinn starts singing the song… She thought she was the only one who knew it out of the two of them.

I have loved you and I always will

Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel

This feeling I have for you inside…

"Oh, shit Sherlock! You know this song?", Still cannot believe…

"Are you kidding me? 2 million subscribers on YouTube know this song! Maybe I'm one of them?", She giggled.

"Seriously?", Santana squeals.

"Actually, I would've never known this song if I hadn't heard you sing this before.", She smiled shyly at Santana.

Santana's jaw drops…

"Where? When? How?", Santana asked for more, and she will not stop asking until she will knows the answer…

I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am

Memorized all the lines and here I am

Struggling for words I still don't know what to say

What to say...

"Junior year… When you used the bathroom in our house and took a shower. Because you felt and smelled stinky, you said you couldn't wait anymore to get home before you take a shower. Then I heard you singing…", She smirked.

"Oohhh! And what were you doing, huh?", Santana smirked back.

"If you were thinking that I was peaking… No, I wasn't", She chuckled.

"Yah, I trust you, 'cause you're a Christian.", Santana snorted. And both of them burst out laughing.

"Quinn?", Santana needs to say this before the song ends and before she runs back like a mouse.

"Hmm?", Waiting for Santana to tell something.

Don't know what to do whenever you are near

Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears

When you pass by I could fly…

"I never said this to you before… 'Cause I'm afraid, afraid to fail again.", Her throat starting to dry again, "And now I'm sure… I'm so sure with all these feelings, feelings I have for you. And I'm not afraid to be with another girl, a very special girl… And that's you, Quinn."

Tears falling from their eyes as they looked at each other…

Ev'ry minute, ev'ry second of the day

I dream of you in the most special way

You're beside me all the time…

"I never said this before to you… But… I love you, Quinn Fabray… I love you!", Santana giggles and pressed a warm kiss on Quinn's lips, "Will you...'Quinn Fabray' be my girlfriend?"

"Ummm?", Quinn teased.

"Quinn! Don't leave me hanging here!", Santana chuckle and tickles Quinn, "Seriously, I'm fucking nervous!"

"Of course it's definitely a wonderful, full of love and a cheesy… Yes!", Quinn said with a squeal and leaves a goofy smile on her face.

"I will always love you, forever… All the time.", Santana promised.

"Me too, All the time.", Quinn promised as Santana did.

All the time... all the time... all the time..
