Santana was laying in bed in her hotel room. She spent the last 2 days in San Francisco, doing some interviews for the release of her new single. Silence filled the room, she started thinking about all the things that had changed in the last 3 years.

Thanks to Mercedes and the duet on her album, she was offered a record deal of her own. After that, her life had been a blast, professionally at least, because even though her talent was finally recognized; her personal life was still a mess.

She dated Brittany for a while, but she started to have feelings for Sam again. The 2 of them grew closer when Sam tried to move on after his break up with Mercedes. That's when she understood that it would never work with Brittany and her fickle heart. They were better off as friends anyway. She had had a few flings since then, but nothing serious. Almost 24, she would like a serious and mature relationship, but with her new found fame and all the people trying to take advantage of her, it wasn't easy.

She missed her friends too, of course she still hung out with Kurt but since he broke up with Blaine, moved on full time with Vogue and met his new boyfriend, it was hard to find time to meet. Same thing with Mercedes, who was in L.A recording her 2nd album for a few months. She also got closer to Quinn when she moved in New-York to work in a publishing house. They saw each other once a week for coffee. And Rachel just lived her life without them.

Her thoughts were cut short when her phone began to ring. She looked the time on her alarm. 5a.m before answering

"Hello?" Santana said with a sleepy voice

"Hello ma'am, is this Santana Lopez?" asked the voice on the phone

"Yes this is she"

"Miss Lopez, I'm Mrs Kerry from the Cedars-Sinaï Hospital in Los Angeles. You were listed as second emergency contact for Miss Berry and I couldn't reach Mr Hummel."

"Wait, what?" Santana asked, panicking.

'Is that a sick joke from Fate? Rachel crossed my mind for a second and 2 minutes later I receive a call about her from a hospital.' She thought before focusing on the conversation.

"Miss Berry got into an accident an hour ago and was brought here. She's not out of the OR yet and I'm not allowed to give you details over the phone"

"Wait, I don't understand, Rachel made me emergency contact years ago, we are not even in the same city anymore" Santana replied. When they were all living in the loft, Rachel decided to add Kurt and her as emergency numbers after she hurt herself at a ballet class. The girl thought it was easier as they lived in New-York, instead of bothering her fathers in Lima.

"Well Miss Lopez, it seems Miss Berry hasn't changed the information. Should I call someone else on the list?"

"No it's okay, her parents are always on vacation at this time of year. I'm currently in San Francisco, I should be in L.A in a few hours"

"Like I said she is still in the OR and will be asleep for a few hours after" explained the nurse

"Okay, see you there"

Santana quickly searched for a flight. The next one was supposed to take off at 08:30. She took a quick shower, dressed and left her room with her duffel bag.

'I'm sure Berry is fine and I will go all Lima Heights on her ass for making me drop everything. Oh god, this is not happening! Why am I always doing that? I always come running back to her. Every time she needs me, consciously or not. Even 3 years after… Why am I thinking about that? She could be dying right now. Come on, get a grip Lopez' she thought while she rushed to the airport.
