Chapter 3

Santana's P.O.V

Last time on Shooting Star;

"I love y-you San. More t-than anyone else." I hear Brittany whisper before seeing her eyes roll to the back of her head and her body falling limp. I soon as I saw this I let out a pained scream. I didn't think of myself as a religious person but right then I prayed to every god and every spirit out there for someone, anyone to help them.

And right on cue, as if her prayers were answered, she hears feet quickly running down the hallway and slamming the bathroom door open and I look up to see paramedics rushing towards them. They manage to pry me off of Brittany and get her up on the stretcher as they begin wheeling her out the doors. "Wait!" I yell causing them to abruptly stop. "I want to come." I watch as the briefly look at each other and then nod.

As soon as I step into the ambulance I see them hook up a bunch of cords into her body which strangely enough makes me even more nervous. "We need to get her to the hospital asap, she's losing to much blood!" I hear a paramedic yell. Hearing those words cause even more tears streaming down my face as I grip Brittany's hand even tighter. "Were losing her! Get the defibrillators ready. 1…2…3 go!" I watch in horror as Brittany's body jumps up from the pressure of the volts coursing through her body. "She's too young, she's too fucking young. Again. 1…2…3." But all that followed on was loud and long beep meaning a person is on the verge of life or death.

"Brittany! No you can't do this to me! You promised you would never leave me alone! You promised!" I whimpered. "Put pressure on her wound! Try it one more time. Come on! 1..2..3." I waited in agony but finally "We have a pulse! But it's weak and I'm afraid if we don't get to hospital soon she won't make it."

She won't make it. She won't make it. She won'tmake it.

That was the only sentence that was running through my mind as I waited impatiently for news about Brittany. If she doesn't make it I don't know what I would do. I always pictured us getting back together. I can't see myself with anyone but her. She's the one I just know she is. I meant to be with her fore-

"Santana!" I hear someone yell behind me. I turn around to see a hysterical looking Sugar. "How is she?" the moment she said that I fell to the ground and started sobbing and Sugar gathered me up into her arms and sat me down in a chair. "I don't know they won't tell me anything! She has to be okay Sugar she just has too!" I whimpered. She just hugged me tighter as tears of her own made their way down her cheeks.

"Where is she?!" I heard someone frantically yelling I looked up in time to see Sam rushing over to us and suddenly anger seeped through my body. "You!" I yelled, pushing a finger into his chest. "This is your fault!" I shouted as I started banging my fist into his chest while tears streamed down my face. "You were supposed to protect her and be there for her! You… you took her away from me and you couldn't even protect her! I love her and you just…. took her." I whimpered and suddenly all my energy was drained as sobs racked my body. "Shhh..." Sam whispered as pulled me in a hug. "Everything will be okay."

"I'm s-sorry Sam. It's not y-your fault. It's mine. I need to- where- I just- Sam?" I broke again. "I was supposed to t-take care of her. I am. S-supposed to." I sobbed into Sam's shoulder.

Hours later;

Brittany's family arrived two hours ago and glee club and hour ago. But they didn't say much they merely just hugged and asked what happened but besides that they just sat in a chair tears streaming down there face. It was either very late, or very early when the doctor came out with news about Brittany. "Is she okay? I asked frantically as I rushed up to him Sugar, Sam and Brittany's family not far behind me. "Please tell me she's okay." I pleaded. I noticed the doctor hesitate before releasing a breath and nodding timidly. "She should be just fine. She is out of harm's way and is being placed in a room as we speak. But she did lose a fair amount of blood not to mention her stitches from her wound so she is going to be sore for quite some time. Brittany is very lucky girl usually when patients lose that much blood it's a very slim chance of them making it. But as I said she is fine, she's asleep at the moment but you are free to go visit her as you please." The doctor said and then turned around and walked away.

Santana just sat down in shock letting the news sink in before letting a small smile cross her face. "She's going to be okay" she whispered looking up to see glee club and Brittany's family all sharing similar smiles. Sugar sat next to me and I leaned my head against her shoulder. "You can be the first to see her Santana." Mr. Pierce suggested. "Oh no I can't do that. If anything Sam should." I replied. "Go." Sam encouraged me with a smile. "Thanks" I said with a smile of my own before I got up to make my way to Brittany's room.

"Ma'am?" I looked back and saw two officers looking at me. "Y-yes?" I asked in a shaky voice. "We need to get a statement from both you and Ms. Pierce on what exactly happened at school this afternoon." I sighed but eventually nodded and recalled everything I remember which wasn't much considering I wasn't actually there when it happened. "Could you not talk to Brittany just yet? I'm her gir- best friend. And I'm not leaving unless she's leaving with me. So if I promise to make sure she calls you before we leave here, could you maybe not question her as soon as she wakes up?" I tried to be as polite as possible. I just didn't want Brittany to have to deal with that after everything else she had gone through. The police officer studied me for a minute, perhaps gauging my honesty.

"I think that would be ok Ms. Lopez. We'll stop by in the morning but if she gets discharged before we come back, you make sure to call us. We want to talk to her before she leaves this hospital. Ok?" I just nod and the police officers get up. "Oh and I'm not sure if I am allowed to release this kind of information but I feel like you should know. We know who the shooter is." He said in a solemn voice. "W-who?"

"A boy named Jacob Ben Israel. We found him dead in one of classrooms. We're not really sure what really occurred but from the evidence our best guess would be he killed himself. If we have any other news we'll be sure to contact you or Ms. Pierce. Thank you for your time." The one that had been talking to me hands me his card and they head out of the hospital.

"Jacob why would he do that?" Sam asked. "I don't know and I honestly don't care. As long as Brittany is fine I don't care. " I swiftly replied before turning on my feet and continuing on my way to Brittany's room. I entered the room and walked quietly to the bed. I pulled a chair up and sat down, immediately taking Brittany's hand into my own and squeezing gently. "Hey B. It would be great if you could wake up." I tried to clear the tremble out of my voice. "I know you're just sleeping but I need to see your eyes. Or hear you talk." I cleared my throat again, knowing I was fighting a losing battle. "I'm so s-sorry I couldn't p-protect you Britt. I tried s-so hard. God why d-did this have to h-happen to you. You're so f-fucking innocent." I broke down and put my head down on the blanket and tried to control my crying.

"S-San?" I heard a small voice and looked. Brittany was awake.

"What's going on?" I heard the panic in her voice. If Brittany forgot would she be able to explain it? "Why am I here?" Brittany asked sitting up before screeching out in pain. "Ow!" I forced her to lay down again "Britt you have to lay down. Do you… do you not remember what happened?" I asked timidly.

"Uhm. Gun shots went off and then I hid in the bathroom and called you and then… oh." Brittany said once she came to the realization. "Jacob.. he uh- shot me and then I remember you came and then I can't remember." Brittany said sadly. "Yeah a-about that Jacob he's uhm… he's dead.. he killed himself." I said and watched Brittany's face fall. "Why did he do this to me?" Brittany asked brokenly. "I don't know B." I said taking her hand in mine and sitting on the edge of the bed. "You know what I think? I think when he was a kid he didn't get enough hugs and that made him all bitter. But that's really sad cause everyone should get hugs." Brittany said with a small frown. But I just smiled because god could she get any more perfect. "I love you Brittany." I said gazing at her lovingly.

I saw Brittany freeze before turning to face me. For a minute I was worried I said the wrong thing but then I saw a smile appear on her face before bashfully looking down while blushing. "I love you too" she muttered. "Hey don't get shy on me Pierce." I scolded playfully grabbing her chin forcing her to look at me. I was going to continue joking before I got lost staring into her eyes and suddenly the whole world around us seemed to subtly disappear and it was only me and her. I leaned forward and my lips barely brushed hers before she pulled away. "Wait. I can't cheat on Sam." Brittany said looking away. "Sam… right." I whispered pulling away but Brittany just tightened her hold on my hand. "Don't do that. Don't pull away from me. I am going to break up with him. But I can't cheat Sam is a great guy. But, he's not the one I want to be with. He's not the one I'm meantto be with." Brittany whispered staring into my eyes. "Really?" I asked hopefully with a smile. She just nodded "But now I gotta figure out a way to break up with him and wh-."

"Don't bother. I heard." A voice interrupted. I snapped my head up to the door and saw Sam with a small smile on his face. "To be honest I saw it coming. I knew you guys would end up together. But I wanted to be selfish and try to keep her as my own because she's perfect and any one would be proud to be with her. You better keep her close to you Lopez before anyone else tries to snatch her up. She's a real charm." Sam said with a cheeky wink at Brittany.

"Thanks Sam. Really thank you." I said. "and don't worry about it. I won't let her go this time around." I replied giving Brittany an adoring look to which she responded by squeezing my hand tighter. "Well I just came to check on how Brittany was doing but now that I see she's fine. I'll leave you love birds alone and remember what I said Lopez treat her right." Sam said hugging each one of us. "Will do Evans" I responded before he walked out.

I focused my attention again on Brittany and noticed her already looking at me. "What?" I asked nervously. "Nothing I'm just really glad you're with me." Brittany said with a soft smile. "Yeah I just wish it didn't take you getting hurt to pull my head of my ass." I sighed sadly. "Hey baby that doesn't matter. What matters is that you're here now and were together.. Finally." Brittany said with a giggle. "Now get over her and kiss me. Because in case you didn't know I'm a single woman." Brittany said with a wink. "Oh no you're not. Your mine. Forever." I said before leaning in and placing a passionate kiss on her lips.

This right here is where I'm supposed to be, and by here I don't mean Lima. I mean Brittany. She's my home. We can in live New York, Los Angeles, and Lima. Anywhere and it won't matter as long as Brittany's by my side nothing else matters. Because she's the most important thing in the world to me, and I will spend the rest of my days showing her that. Because me and her. Were forever.

The end…. The real end.
