Santana sits in the waiting room of the local hospital. She looks around the
small room at the white walls. They're too white, almost blinding, and they
aren't helping to take her mind off the fact that her girlfriend has been
meeting with a doctor for the past 3 hours. A neurologist actually.

Brittany's parents waited with her at first, but after the CAT scan, they'd
gone in to meet with the doctor. Santana had tried to go in with them, but the
nurse had held her back, telling her it was "family only". At that Santana had
wanted to scream, maybe punch the nurse, go all "Lima Heights" on her. Anything
to get the point across, that Brittany and her had basically been family their
whole lives. She'd loved Brittany since they were five, so shouldn't she get to
know what was going on with her best friend? But she didn't want to get kicked
out, so she quietly sat back down and continued to stare at the white walls,
noticing some cracks on the surface of them, and waiting for Brittany to come
out of the examining room.

Santana felt like all the light was being sucked out of the world, her knees felt weak.
She couldn't believe this was happening, it felt so surreal. She focused on the
walls, the brunette noticed they were dirty and slightly grey in colour.

"Santana! Did you hear anything I just said?" Brittany sobbed and
shook her girlfriend by the shoulders. Brittany's parents watched from across
the room as their daughter broke the news to her best friend. "San, the doctor
said I have about 7 days, that's it. Santana look at me! I need you here, I
can't go through this without you!" Brittany grabbed the Latina's cheeks and
turned her head to stare into her eyes, she knew how Santana could be with bad
news, and she could tell from her face that she was in shock.

"So that's it? You have a-a b-brain tumor? Can't they operate? " Santana squinted her eyes
up at the blonde in question, hoping it wasn't true, maybe it was all a dream?

"Yeah, I've had it for a long time apparently, that's why I say weird
things, and sometimes I see stuff that isn't there, and I have trouble
remembering. It's why I've had so many headaches recently and why I had to quit
dance. I guess it's pressing on some lobe in my brain, I can't remember which
one... I never really liked science." Brittany chuckled despite herself, but
stopped when she saw Santana's face. She sat down in the chair next to her and
immediately felt the Latina's pinky wrap around her own.

"The doctor told me it's too late to operate San, there's nothing they can do." Brittany
choked back sobs as the reality of what was being said hit her.

"Shhh baby, don't cry. Please. Let me take care of you Britt." Santana realized that
her initial reaction was making it more difficult for her girlfriend so she pulled the blonde in for a hug and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "We'll
get through this together, I promise, but you need to go home with your parents
and rest now okay?"

"My head does really hurt." Brittany winced as she
got up, and started walking towards the door where her parents were waiting for
her. "I think I'll feel better after some sleep."

"I'll come over tomorrow, alright baby?" Brittany nodded her head at Santana and slowly walked
out of the room with her parents, who were dabbing at their eyes and trying to
hold back tears.

As Santana watched the love of her life walk out the
door, she felt as if her whole world being ripped apart at the seams. What was
going to happen to her without her partner in crime? The only person who'd ever
really understood her was Brittany, and now fate was going to separate them.

Santana sat in the grey room staring at the cracks in the ceiling. She
sobbed until a nurse asked her to go home. As she drove she tried to process
everything she'd been told at the hospital. This couldn't be real, it was
something that only happened in movies, or to other couples, but not to
them. They were Brittany and Santana, soul mates, nothing could keep them apart.
When she tried to tell her parents, the brunette could barely get the words out
before breaking down again. She just couldn't believe this was happening.

Okay, I think my sPacing got really messed up. Sorry
