AN: I have gone through all the chapters and have hopefully made this story more readable.
I still think it's terrible, but I wrote it when I was 12.
4/27/16 - I have now condensed the story into one chapter because it isn't that long.
"Okay everybody let's get the lesson started" Says Mr. Shue as he walks in the room.
"What are we working on toda-" Rachel stops and stares at the man in the doorway with a gun.
"EVERYBODY IN A CIRCLE ON THE FLOOR NOW!" The man says pointing the gun at them
They all get down on the floor in the middle of the room slowly. The man is standing there waiting, he is surprisingly calm for a man shooting up a school of high schoolers. The glee kids are on the floor in a circle Rachel sitting in Finn's lap, Puck near them, on the other side of him is Sam and Mercedes cuddling together, after them is Tina and Mike's lap, then Quinn next to Santana with Brittany in her lap with her head in the crook of Santana's neck softly crying, Rory and Sugar next to each other, then Mr. Shue with a terrified look on his face, and Kurt in Blaine's lap softly crying like Brittany.
"Okay now that you are all here I would like to start this game but let's start with a kill. I like blondes let's start with you, blondie." The man then leans down and touches Brittany's hair and she whimpers a little and holds Santana tighter.
"Don't. Touch. Her." Santana then stands up and gets in front of Brittany.
"Oh wow I can start with you instead Chica, but I have a new plan. If any of you don't listen to me or I don't like the way you are acting this will happen to her." He says as he points the gun at Santana and shoots. She falls to the ground but looks to be okay she got hit in the upper arm. "Now you know the results, she is my target if you guys miss behave."
Brittany was now next to Santana on the floor holding her hand as the man told her to get away from her.
"No! I can't just leave her alone."
"Well then," He says as he moves the gun to her other arm. Brittany had never moved so fast to obey his orders so he wouldn't shoot her again."Good, listen from now on no more warnings you are lucky you got that one, Brittany."
"You know our names?"
"Why yes I do lets see we have Finn, Rachel, Puck or Noah, Sam, Mercedes, Tina, Mike, Quinn, Brittany, Rory, Sugar, , Kurt, Blaine, and my nice friend over here is Santana... But you are missing someone named Artie." He says pointing to them all in the right order.
"That was accurate, can I ask what else you know about us?" Says .
"Well I know your past dates and who you are all dating now... though it seems pretty obvious." As he points to Blaine and Kurt then Tina and Mike.
"Okay, Then can you tell us all why you are here?"
"I am here to get payback on two of you that hurt me, and to show you all I am not weak like you think I am. A warning to you all, the two that are getting payback one will get shot once or multiple times the other will be unharmed... they will both be let out of here first. One. Carrying. The. Other."
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
"I don't like shouting!" He shoots Santana again, twice in the leg. She screams out in pain, and Brittany starts to cry softly in the corner. "No more yelling. To answer your question, you will find out after the payback gets served... and the two of them are out of here. Now I would like to play my first game."

"What is happening in there?!" Says Emma in shock after she had heard two loud gun shots.
"I am getting a report... he is in a choir room with some students, they don't know who is hurt, but they see a pool of blood and could identify all the students inside. We are calling all of their parents now." The officer said from behind them.
"Don't bother calling the parents of Santana Lopez, just tell Brittany Pierce's parents about her situation. She has been living with her for the past two months." says Emma.
"Okay will do."
"Why has she been living with Brittany?" Asked Coach Beiste.
"Her parents kicked her out when she told them she was gay, and dating Brittany. We no longer contact them for her we go straight to Brittany's parents."
"Poor girl."
"Yeah I Know, this has been a horrible time for her. She actually started coming to talk to me on her own."

"What is this 'game' you want to play, exactly?"
"Oh, I will tell you the rules. I need to speak to my, uh, friend in private. Be right with you."

"Why are you doing this, and who are you?" Asked Santana very pissed with a little fear.
"You will find out when you hear about my suicide later on the news... If you live."
"Fuck you mother fucken asshole!" Screamed Santana she didn't care who heard them outside the office.
"Shut up you bitch!" He said as he shot her again in the arm.
XXX/Choir Room/XXX
"Oh My God!" Everyone said almost at the same time when they heard a gunshot come from the room the shooter and Santana were in.
"Hey everyone, Blondie!" He said as he points to Brittany. "Get her off the floor please. Don't worry she isn't dead... Yet." Brittany gets up to get Santana. "When she gets back put her next to me though, she is still my form of revenge."
"Asshole." Brittany mumbles under her breath while getting up to get Santana.
"Alright almost time for my little 'game' now."
"What is it?"
"Why don't we wait for Brittany to get my little 'friend'."
XXX/Choir Room Office/XXX
"Britt-Britt." Santana whispered.
"Santana! You're awake."
"Yeah. I have to tell you something, Britt-Britt."
"Yeah, San. What is it? We have a second or two, but I have to get you back out there."
"I want you to know that... I Love You... if I end up dying in here today, you will be okay. I just can't die knowing that I never told you right before I did die. I know, I have told you that I love you like a million times before, but this one could be the last so I needed to tell you again." Santana sobbed as tears streamed down her face.
"I know San, but you are going to be okay you are not going to die, do hear me?" Santana nods her head in response. "I love you too. Now let's get back out there before he gets to angry."

"What took you two so long?" The man said as he pointed the gun their way.
"Just had a hard time picking her up." Brittany says so quietly he can barely hear her.
"I will except that... This time, but sit back down now it is time to play a game."
XXX/Choir Room/XXX
"Okay. What is this game now that they are back."
"Well my game this time is russian roulette. Sounds fun right but there is a twist. The person still gets shot in the head but when they get shot so does she," He says pointing to Santana. "but she won't get shot in the head she will get shot so she will still be alive by the time two of you die." The man says with an evil smirk on his face.
XXX/Outside the school/XXX
"What is going on in there?" Asks Coach Beiste
"I don't know, but the officer is calling the phone in the Choir Room to try to talk to the man."
"Okay good. Oh their parents are all almost here. Just waiting for Finn and Kurt's parents."
"Okay lets get them all rounded up to give them what we know so far. I see Finn and Kurt's parents car now." Says Emma from behind Coach Beiste.

"Hello this is Officer Jim. I need to speak to the man in charge."
"This is him. What is it that you want?"
"I need something to call you first real or fake name just something."
"You can call me AA. Is that okay for you?"
"Yes AA that is fine. Now what do you want for any hostages?"
"Nothing I am doing this for a reason. They will come out slowly some dead, some alive, and some wounded."
"Well, when will the first ones be sent out of there?"
"They will be out there as soon as my first game is done."
"Will they be wounded, alive, or dead?"
"There will be two. One will be unharmed and the other will have multiple wounds and could possibly be dead by the time she gets out there." The shooter says, then hangs up the phone.
XXX/Choir Room/XXX
"Okay everybody up. Except you two." He says pointing at Santana and Brittany."Get in a circle around the piano."
"Why is he leaving us alone? "Brittany says in a low voice to Santana who is barely awake.
"I ... don't ... kno-" Santana couldn't finish her sentence before blacking out.
"No wake up. Please wake up San." Brittany says starting to cry quietly.

The parents are being told of the situation.
"Do we know who is being let out first."
"All we know is that two people will be let out. One unharmed the other wounded and possibly dead. He said one will be carrying the other out." Officer Jim tells the parents.
"Do we know anything else about the situation."
"Not at the moment but we have EMTs standing by for the first harmed people that walk to us."
"LOOK" Is shouted by one of the parents pointing to the figure walking through the doors.
"Who is it. Can you see them."
"One is tall and blonde it looks like Brittany. The other smaller and dark haired I can't see the face but it is a girl."
"Could it be Santana?"
"Yes it is. She is bleeding badly get an ambulance ready. NOW!"
Brittany approaches them with the badly injured Santana in her arms. She places her on the stretcher and turns to her parents.
"That sick man made me watch her get shot 5 times," Brittany says to her parents as she cries in their arms.
"OMG. Honey I am so sorry. Can you answer the cops questions then I can take you to the hospital. She is going to need you if she gets out of this and I can tell you will need her just as much."
"Okay mom."
"Brittany Pierce."
"Yes. Do you have some questions for me officer."
"Yes I do but first who was that you just carried out?"

Kurt fell to the floor and Blaine was now crying his eyes out.
"Shut up Blaine or you will be next"
Blaine continues to cry thinking the man wouldn't just randomly shoot him for crying.*BANG* With that shot Blaine fell to the ground next to Kurt bleeding from the head.
"OMG. Stop shooting give everyone a break"
"I don't like your tone. Now since my target is gone I could just shoot you instead." He says to Puck.
"No! Okay I am sorry. I won't scream ever again. Don't shoot please."
"That's more like it Puck. Beg. Now we will continue with the next game, but first I am letting two of you out. The only thing is the two that get out get to take their bodies with them."He says pointing at Kurt and Blaine's lifeless bodies." I choose you two" He said pointing a Quinn and Sugar.

"I don't know but I am happy they are getting out of here safe."Rachel then starts to cry on Finn's shoulder as they talk. The man has yet to turn around so Rachel is clung to Finn behind him.
"I know this is scary but we have to stay strong, Rachel. I want you to know that no matter what happens in here, if I die or not, I will be with you forever. No matter what happens remember that I love you. Okay."

"I am on the phone with Brittany's mom now. She is still in surgery. She won't tell Brittany though. The chances of Santana getting out of this are about 5%. She has already been shocked 5 times just during the surgery."
"Poor Santana. So Brittany doesn't know any of this?"
"No her mom doesn't know how to tell her."
"OMG. Look is that Quinn...And Sugar? Who are they carrying?"

"How is Brittany dealing with all of this?"
"She uh. Doesn't know any of this her mom can't tell her. She doesn't want her to cry."
"I am going down there. now. I need to talk to Brittany's mom. Maybe she will let me tell Brittany. I can help her through this. I am the only person she trusts this much... Besides Santan-Santana."As Quinn finishes her sentence she bursts into tears.

" Hey mom any news on Santana yet?" Brittany has asked her mom this question every 5 minutes since they got there. She also hasn't stopped crying since she answered the questions at the school.
"N-No honey not yet."
"OK. QUINN!"
"Hey Britt."
"Are you ok? Why are you here?" Brittany said in a wet sad voice.
"I thought you might need someone here with you, and I need to talk to your mom."
"Ok. Hey mom Quinn is here. She needs to talk to you."
" Hey Quinn. What is it?"
"I need to talk to you in private."
"Okay just walk down the hall a little. What is it?"
" Why haven't you told Brittany yet?"
"I can't see her reaction. I-I can't watch her cry."
" I know but she would be even more sad if Santana died and she didn't know that she was bad off when the surgery started."
" Can you tell her? I can't. I just I-I can't."
"Yeah I can tell her now."
As they walk back towards Brittany Quinn gets filled in on all the information being kept from Brittany.

"We uh... we have some news about Santana."
"NO! Is she dead? Please say she isn't dead. Please."

" NO! She has to live. She has to. I can't live without her." Brittany says as she breaks into a fit of fresh sobs.
"I know Britt. I know but we have to stay strong."

"Okay now that that is over we can start the final game."

" Okay I think you have all had enough. Would you all like to know who I am?"
"Yes we all really want to know."
The man then pulls of the mask and drops the gun to point at his own chest.
"ARTIE!"
"Yeah. I guess you all want an explanation. Well I regained mobility and I wouldn't tell anyone, even my parents. I had planned on this since I found out about Santana and Brittany. It hurt me to hear all the things happening while I was still with her. It hurt me so I planned to only hurt them, but I realised how different I was treated here and wanted to show you all I could take care of myself."
*BANG* Artie shot himself in the chest then the head and he fell to the ground.

Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Santana sniffles at the end of the song about to cry, but she stops herself. Brittany then walks on the stage to start the next song with her.
Santana starts the song with the first verse while playing the guitar like in the last song.
Do you dream that the world will know your name?
So tell me your name
Do you care about all the little things
or anything at all?
I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside
I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
Brittany joins her for the chorus.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon
Santana's voice fades and Brittany takes the next verse.
Do you believe, in the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe?
Do you know, that everyday's the first
Of the rest of your life?
They both take the chorus again.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know
Never leaves too soon.
Brittany sings the next verse.
This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us
To all of us
They both take the chorus again.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
'Cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun
Maybe I should go
Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming
Of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know never leaves too soon
Santana sings the next verse.
You can tell me all your thoughts
About the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to
When no one's left to take your side
But don't tell me where the road ends
'Cause I just don't wanna know
No I don't wanna know
Santana softly sings the last two lines of the song.
Don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying
The crowd erupts with massive applause. That is one of the first times Santana has smiled since the shooting.
The rest of the glee club joins them onstage to sing backup for the next song, Santana will sing.
Take a breath,Take it deep.
'Calm yourself', He says to me
If you play, you play for keeps.
Take the gun and count to sweating now,
Moving slow, No time to think.
My turn to go
The whole glee club sings the chorus.
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving. I know that I must pass this test
So, just pull the trigger
Santana sings the next verse.
Say a prayer to yourself
He says 'close your eyes, sometimes it helps'
And then I get a scary thought
That he's here - means he's never lost
The whole glee club sings the chorus.
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
Know that I must pass this test.
So, just pull my trigger
Santana, again, sings the next few lines.
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say good-bye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life
The whole glee club sings the chorus. Except the last four lines.
And you can see my heart beating.
No, You can see it through my chest.
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no
know that I must pass this test.
You can see my heart beating.
Oh, You can see it through my chest.
I'm terrified but I'm not leaving no
know that I must pass this test.
Santana softly sings the last line.
So, just pull the trigger
[sound of taking a breath]
[sound of pulling the trigger. Gun shot]
After the song finishes Santana jumps at the end from the sound of a gunshot. Brittany is standing there telling her it was just the song.
'Things really will get better' Santana thinks to herself.
