(Present Time)
Oh shit.. Naya thought to herself as she just finished saying goodbye to Heather's parents. How could this have happened? Oh, but she knew how. She knew exactly how.
As Naya aproached Heather's motionless body laying in that hospital bed, her eyes began to tear up. She had been seen her in her state of comma for hours now, but she hadn't had the chance to see her alone. Or REALLY see her, to process what was going on. The Glee cast, family members, fans, and even papparazzis had been there all day. She was thankful though, she really wanted to distract herself from reality. She wanted to forget everything. No, even better: She wanted to CHANGE everything. But everybody had already left, excpet for fans and papparrazi, but they were not even near Heather thanks to the police and to the fact that they were in an area that only staff could access. She would sometimes look out of the window and see fans crying or holding posters up that would read "Heather stay strong" or "Dont Die, Lord Tubbington Would Become An Orphan" and she couldnt help but to cry. Not sob, just cry. Cry quietly because if Heather woke up she didnt want her to see her crying. Not again.
Naya took a few steps to her best friend's bed and sat in a corner. She took her hand and squeezed it really hard. She got closer to Heather's face and looked at her pale and fragile looking face. Another tear came rolling down. She took her other hand and brushed Heather's hair with it. 'I'm so sorry.." She said. "I'm so sorry I did this to you... If I had only tried hard enough... if I had only been honest.. If I had only not been so STUPID.." She found herself about to sob so she just stopped. She took a deep breath and pulled herself together. "Well.. You're still alive. And I dont know if you're listening or not but you are alive.. And I dont know if you will come out of here alive.. " Naya's voice started to sound as if she was about to break down, so she just took another breath. "So.. Tonight Im just going to be completely honest with you. I will tell you everything i have felt. Everything I have thought. So here it goes..." And then she lost herself in her words, in her memories...
(5 Years Ago)
It all started the day that we both got our scripts for a Glee episode in Season 2 called "Sexy". Heather and I had been best friends since the day we met, but it never ment anything more for either one of us and I always knew that. We had always felt attracted to one another, that im sure of, but we always managed to push it aside and make it look like nothing. All we knew is that you had a boyfriend that you loved and I was just a free spirit, not tied down to anybody. Then one day we just ended up at my apartment reading the script for "Sexy" not knowing how that one script was going to change our lives forever.
"Brittany, breakfast is confusing for you." I said as we practiced our lines. "Well sometimes it's sweet and sometimes it's salty. Like what if I had eggs for dinner, then what is it?" You said, trying hard not to laugh. Then you sweetly looked up and started to chuckle, so I just started to laugh cause you always had the cutest chuckle. You laughed along, probably thinking I was laughting at what you said, which made me laugh even more, which made YOU laugh even more. After a few minutes and a few tears, we managed to get serious again to continue reading the script.
"If Brittana ends up together I swear I'm going to like die of happiness!" You said all bubbly.
"Oh I know! It would be way easier to act like I'm in love with you than it is to act like i'm in love with Mike or Chord. We're already that close and we fool people just as we are so it would be a piece of cake." I said as i stoop up from the couch and into the kitchen.
"Hahaha yea I get you, Kevin is awesome but I rather have more scenes with you than with him, no offense to Kevin." You said following me into the kitchen grabbing 2 cups and going into the fridge.
"Me too honey, trust me. Woah woah woah, why are you getting a wine bottle out? I was just gonna get some chips to eat.." I asked, as I saw you taking it out of the fridge.
"Well I just thought that a little wine would help us enjoy our chips more.." You said with the most daredevil smile ever.
"HeMo we cant drink you know how Ryan feels about drinking while reading our scripts.." I said, not really surpirsed you would take the bottle out.
"Well Ryan is not here sooo.. red or white?" You said.
I rolled my eyes and just said "Red".
"Perfect, that's the one I picked." You said pouring the glasses gently.
An hour later, after many drinks, a few chips, and lying on the couch long enough I noticed we had to continue reading through the script. "Hemo come on I know we are a little bit tipsy and all but we have to finish reading this for tomorrow!"
"But we just finished reading the scene when we talk to Miss Holiday.." She said whining.
"Yea like 30 minutes ago! Come on we have to go early to set!" I said smiling at you and you're whining attitude.
"Fineee.. You win. Ok what scene is next?" You say a little sad and looking through your script.
"We are going to have a scene with Miss Holiday singing the song that apparently reflects Santana's feelings for Brittany." I said reading briefly through it.
"Which song is it?" You say suddenly curious.
"Apparently a song called Landslide. Never heard of it." I say briefly.
"Me neither. Here let me look it up in youtube and put my iPhone in my iHome so we can get familiar to the song and record it tomorow." You said while taking out your phone. I just nodded my head while you set everything up.
"Ok let's see.." You say while playing the song.
I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and i turned around
And I saw my reflection on the snow covered hill
When the landslide brought me down.
We both looked at each other and nodded, mainly just aprooving of the song.
Oh mirror in the sky what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
I just looked at you smiling without really even knowing why. You were just listening to the song carefully.
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can i handle the seasons of my life?
Oh oh...
You looked at me giving me the sweetest smile and just got closer to me. Close enough to put your legs on top of mine and rest your head in my shoulders. Suddenly I just felt chills.
Well I've been afraid of changing cause i've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder. Children get older and I'm getting older too.
Well..
You stayed just as you were. Tapping the rhythm in your legs. I just started playing with your hair. Feeling something I had never felt before. Was it nervousness? Panic? Sadness?
Well I've been afraid of changing cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, children get older and Im getting older too
Well im getting older too..
Happiness? Excitement?
So I took this love and I took it down
If you climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection on the snow covered hills
Where the landlide brought me down..
Anger? Confusion?
And If you see my reflection on the snow covered hills..
Well maybe..
You looked up at me and started smiling. Maybe Frustration? Weakness?
Well maybe..
I got lost in your eyes as well as you got lost in mine and we were both smiling. Was it Curiousness? A crush?
Well maybe...
I touched your face gently as you slowly started to lean as well as I was. Or was it just.. plain.. love?
The landslide will bring you down..
And for the first time, as Heather and Naya, not as Brittany and Santana, our lips united in such a perfect and beautiful way that I could never find the right words to describe it. And right then and there, my life changed.
