A/N: I needed to write this since I think this is what would've happened if the shooting happened in season 3
Santana dragged Brittany into the bathroom, "We're gonna end up being late for glee"
"Whatever, the only eventful thing happening is seeing how short Mr. Shue is willing to cut is hair. I have a feeling he'll shave it all off by nationals."
Right as she finished her sentence they heard a loud bang from the hallway.
Brittany grabbed Santana's arm, "Did you hear that?"
They both turned to look at the door and heard another loud bang. Santana got a look of confusion that melted into fear as she grabbed Brittany and shoved her in a stall, "Stay."
"Where are you going?"
Brittany peaked out of the stall to see Santana run her hand against the door.
"We need a key to lock it." She turned around and looked at Brittany. "I told you to stay still."
She ran back to the stall and locked it behind her. Brittany's eyes widened as her chin trembled, "What's going on? You're scaring me."
Santana's voice was rushed and in a whisper, "I think those were gun shots Brittany.. We need to stay quiet okay? Get on the toilet."
"What about you?"
She bit her lip and shook her head, "I'll be in the stall right next to you. I'll be fine but you need to stay quiet okay?"
Brittany nodded as she watched Santana crawl to the stall next to hers and heard the click of a lock a few seconds later. Santana's shoes squeaked against the toilet seat as she stepped on top of it. Her heart was pounding through her entire body as she hoped that Brittany would be okay. She saw movement from the corner of her eye and saw Brittany's hand come through the small opening in the back of the stall. She linked her pinky with her girlfriend's and squeezed her eyes shut as a tear slowly rolled down her cheek.
It was silent for a few minutes with only the sound of one or two people running from outside the bathroom to have them stunned in fear.
"B-brittany," Santana whispered as she tried to keep the shaking out of her voice. "In case I don't get a chance to tell you, I need you to know that I wore the shirt you made for me last year. I was there in the auditorium wearing it and if I could change anything it would be getting onstage and dancing with you. I need you to know that..." There was a pause before she let out a whimper, "I love you."
There were precisely 2 hard heart beats before she heard, "Proudly so."
They tried to keep quiet as tears rushed down their cheeks. Brittany's lip trembled as Santana prayed that if it was between her life and Brittany's, to let Brittany live.
The door slammed open and they heard footsteps from in front of their stalls. They both held their breath and squeezed each other's pinkies for dear life.
One by one the stall doors were kicked open all the way down till it reached Santana's stall. She kept her eyes closed as her door got kicked open and was waved out by a swat team member.
She let out the breath she was holding and started getting up as they kicked Brittany's stall door as well. Santana rushed to her and shook uncontrollably in her arms.
"All clear." The swat guy said as her made the signal for them to follow him.
They got escorted outside and as soon as they made their way to the front of the school, the rest of the glee club ran up to them. Santana let Brittany hug everyone as she broke away from the pack to make a phone call. After a few rings an older lady picked up, "Santana?! They're showing your school on tv right now and I didn't know if-"
"I'm fine Abuela.. I just wanted to hear your voice and tell you I love you."
