"Is she going to be back doctor?" said Brittany with a spark of concern in her voice.

"She's in stable condition but she'll be having surgery tomorrow on her left lung. It collapsed in the car accident".

Brittany got a phone call in the middle of the night from a police officer informing her that her roommate and long-time friend Quinn had been in a car accident and was in pretty bad shape. After Brittany graduated she moved out to New Haven to live with Quinn. She wanted to get out of Lima, it brought back too many memories she wished to forget.

She sat in the waiting room for hours until a familiar voice behind her made her rise from her seat and seek comfort.

"Brittany..." said Rachel calmly.

"Rachel..." replied Brittany as she threw her arms around Rachel.

"What happened? Is she okay?!"

"Another car accident...the doctor's say she's lucky to be alive".

"I came the second I got your voicemail. I'm so sorry I missed the call, I was in rehearsal".

"It's okay...you're here now".

They both sat down beside each other, holding each other's hands.

"What did the doctors say exactly?"

"They told me she's in stable condition but her left lung collapsed in the accident. They're going to perform surgery in the morning".

"Can we see her?"

"Not yet".

They sat there in silence, taking in each other's breathing. Brittany was waiting for the next person to arrive. She had called Joe the second she found out but there was no answer. After graduation, Joe made it his goal to get back into Quinn's life. He missed her and wanted to make a shot of what was almost a relationship for them. Nothing had come of their weekly visits yet but he had hope.

"Do you want a coffee or something hun?" asked Rachel.

"Yeah that would be nice".

Rachel got up and headed for the cafeteria. Brittany sat and waited, hoping for the best. She was getting tired though, wasn't sure how much longer she could keep her eyes open. Just as she dozed off, she heard another voice.

"Brittany! Is she okay?!" said Joe in a panic.

Brittany shot up out of the chair and stood up to give Joe a hug.

"Here sit down..."

Joe sat down next to Brittany.

"She's in stable condition. Her left lung collapsed but they're going to perform surgery first thing in the morning".

"Another car accident?! She's going to be devastated".

"At least she's okay".

Rachel returned with two coffees, one for her and one for Brittany. She handed Brittany the coffee.

"Joe...sorry I didn't know you were coming".

"It's okay. I don't need one".

They all sat there reminiscing about the past. They talked about Glee Club, what they were up to now, about each other's love lives (which only existed for Rachel). Before they knew it, it was three in the morning and they were all exhausted.

"I think I'm going to head to my hotel" said Joe.

"Yeah I'm going to catch a train back to New York. I have a rehearsal tomorrow, but I will come straight here after rehearsal tomorrow" said Rachel.

"Thanks for coming".

Rachel stood up and gave Brittany a long hug.

"Take care hun. I'll call you tomorrow".

Joe then swooped in for the next hug.

"I'll be here in the morning".

"Thanks again".

Rachel and Joe took off together. It had been a long night and they needed their sleep. As for Brittany, there wasn't going to be much sleeping with this on her mind. She sat there again until she began to doze off. She began to dream. She dreamed of the past and what she considered the good ol' days. All these images running through her head but they stopped on one. The beach, the night she said goodbye to Santana for the last time. She saw an image of her face, smiling through tears, followed by an image of the promise ring being carefully put on Santana's finger.

"Maybe one day..."

"It's my turn to wear this now..."

Brittany started to toss and turn in the seat as she re-lived the moment in her dream. It had been five years since that very moment and even though she wished she could move on from it, it was still always there in the back of her mind. Did she make the right decision? Santana was willing to start over again but Brittany let her go. It's a moment in life where she feels she made the wrong choice. But what was she going to do? It was long over and Santana wanted nothing to do with her, for if she did, she would've e-mailed, called, texted, or come to seen her by now.

" ?... ?..."

Brittany shot out of her seat and looked up at the doctor.

"You can go in a see her now".

Brittany entered the hospital room with caution. She didn't know what kind of state Quinn was going to be in and she didn't want to startle herself by entering the room with a bang. As she looked over at Quinn's almost lifeless body, she began to cry. Quinn opened her eyes as much as she could to see Brittany crying.

"Hey..."

"Quinn..."

"I'm okay, don't cry".

Brittany sat in the chair next to the hospital bed. She grabbed Quinn's hand gently and placed it in hers.

"I was so worried".

"It's my lung".

"Yeah...the doctor was telling me".

"I have surgery tomorrow morning at ten".

"Look at you...all banged up".

Brittany gently stroked her hand across Quinn's face, bringing a smile to her lips.

"Did anyone else come?"

"Yeah...Rachel came around nine o'clock and left around three. She has rehearsal tomorrow so she said she'll be here right after she's done".

"What about Joe?"

"Yeah, he was here. He's staying in a hotel near by so he said he'll come in the morning".

"Thank you Brit..."

"Thank you for what?"

"For staying...for being here for me when I woke up. I was so scared. I laid there in the wreckage not being able to breathe properly and I thought, this is it Quinn. This is your final moment".

"Well you're alive and that's all that matters".

"Go home and sleep hun".

"No I'm fine".

"Don't let me stop you".

"You're not...I already napped before the doctor came to tell me I could see you. Are you comfortable?"

"As comfortable as anyone could be after an accident".

They both giggle as there's a knock on the door. Brittany turns around to face the door.

"Come in..."

The door slowly crept open, revealing the beautiful Santana Lopez behind it.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything" she said.

"Santana!" yelled Quinn softly.

Santana approached the hospital bed and gave Quinn a kiss on the forehead. Brittany sat there motionless. She hadn't seen her in five years and this car accident is what brings them together again? How tragic she thought in her mind.

"I rushed here the second Rachel told me. What did the doctor's say?"

"She's in stable condition but her left lung collapsed in the accident. She goes into surgery at ten" Brittany answered for Quinn.

"What she said".

"Hey Brit..."

"Hey Santana..."

"How you been?"

"Good I guess, and you?"

"I've been great, thanks".

There was a brief silence before Quinn started talking.

"Well I'd leave you two alone but unfortunately I'm the one in the hospital bed here".

Brittany and Santana turned to face Quinn, who was lying in the bed smiling.

"It's fine. We're both here for you so we can talk later" said Santana.

"Yeah..." replied Brittany.

"Girls please...I'm fine! Go get a coffee or something".

"Are you sure?" asked Brittany.

"I'm positive!"

Brittany and Santana looked at each other and then back at Quinn.

"GO!"

"Alright! Alright!"

Brittany got up and Santana followed. Just before they exited the room, Santana turned around to look at Quinn.

"I'm glad you're okay".

"Me too".

And with that the door opened and Brittany and Santana left the room. Quinn laid in the hospital bed smiling, she was so glad they had reunited and hoped for the best. She was sure there would be awkward-ness at first but she knew them too well. Within minutes they'd be back to the old best friends she knew. Or at least she thought they would be.
