The words, "I'm fine," we automatically coming out of Dani's mouth like she was autopilot, but almost like a domino effect as soon as Leslie took the plate out of her hand, she was hit with a wave of nauseating dizziness. She grabbed the edge of the sink to stop her legs giving out from under her, and stood there, eyes clamped closed while she desperately willed it to pass. She wasn't fine. She hadn't been fine in days, and everything was taking its toll. She just knew if she stopped, though, she might never start again and she had to keep going for Nick. He deserved to have her fight this for him, because the alternative was just unthinkable and there was no way she was just going to sit there and let her cousin crash and burn to the point of no return ( ... )

If Les had heard that lie once from Dani since all of this shit started, she'd heard it a million times. "Right. And I'm Kate Middleton," she replied evenly, reaching for another plate before she stopped stock-still in her tracks, turning to look at Dani in surprise. "What the hell?" she asked, her hand automatically coming to find a place at Dani's elbow when she wasn't entirely sure that her friend wasn't going to completely fall over.

Carefully, she moved alongside Dani as she made her way over to the table to sit down, not wanting Dani to fall on top of whatever it was making her feel so shitty at the moment. "Dani, babe, what's wrong? You look rough." She raised her hand to press to her friend's forehead to search for signs of a fever, and when she didn't feel all that warm, Les tilted her head to one side. "Do you need to go to the doctor?" It was clear that the stress was getting through to Dani, but even at her most stressful times in the past, Les had never seen her at the point of what looked like nearly passing out before.

Dani just waved her hand, even if she kept her head low. She couldn't be sure that she would throw up or pass out if she lifted it too high when the room was still spinning like this. "No, I don't need to go to a doctor. I'm just tired..." God, why was any of this happening? No matter what she did right now, she couldn't keep her head above water. It felt like she was drowning and she was flailing to try and hold on, but failing desperately. She even knew that if she started to cry, she just would not stop and she couldn't let Benny see her cry. If he cried and he saw, he would inevitably lose like he always did if something was wrong with her. He just didn't cope with it. She had to hold onto what little composure she had for his sake ( ... )

Leslie wasn't stupid, and she sure as hell wasn't buying that Dani was just tired. She seemed sick or something, and Leslie wasn't ready to back down just yet. "Dani Lorenzi, I've known you a long fucking time, and this isn't just tired. You need to see a doctor. And even if it is just tired, we both know you're not gonna be getting any rest anytime soon. You're running yourself into the ground, Dani, and I know you're doing it for Nick and for Benny, and Blaine and Kurt, and even for Puck, but if you collapse from exhaustion, you're not doing anyone a damn bit of good. Dani, what if you run yourself down so much you get sick and someone else has to defend Nick? You can't keep going without stopping to rest ( ... )
