Chapter 4
When Rachel reached the entrance to the cockpit, she nearly screamed when she saw. She saw two of the hijackers lying on the floor, drenched in blood. Rachel wanted to throw up; she had always felt queasy around blood.
When Rachel walked into the cockpit, she nearly fainted at what she saw. Finn was lying in a pool of blood, Quinn was passed out with Puck cradling her in his arms, one of the hijackers was tied up against the co-pilot chair, passengers were fighting off one more terrorists, but the most shocking thing was that the pilot of the plane was none other than Tina.
"Oh my God Tina!" Rachel called as she ran over to her friend.
"Rachel! There you are! Thank God you're alright! I was worried that you might've gotten hurt or something." Tina gushed
"Don't worry about me. What happened here? Why're youflying the plane?" Rachel asked quickly
"I don't know! I rallied the people just like you told me, but when we stormed the cockpit, two of them died struggling and one of them we knocked out and we're obviously still fighting another one." she nodded her head to the struggle that was going on behind them. Rachel stood in the cockpit, her mouth open like a cod, and she thought that shehad it bad.
"Wait! What happened outside?" Tina asked, snapping Rachel from her thoughts. She quickly explained what happened, all the while, Tina was piloting the plane. When Rachel talked about the spark, she felt her breath catch in her throat a little bit.
"There was a spark?" Tina repeated. Rachel nodded, too in shock to speak.
"His name sounds reallyfamiliar. I just can't place it! It's so annoying!" Tina continued.
"I know! It sounds like someone we met from High School or someone!." Rachel continued. After a few moments in silence, Rachel cleared her throat.
"I guess I should probably head back out." Rachel said as she started walking back to the door.
"Wait! Rachel!" Tina called Rachel back. When Rachel turned around, she saw Tina clutching her stomach tightly. Rachel moved closer.
"Tina? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" she asked worriedly. Tina shook her head and removed her hand for Rachel to look. When she saw her stomach, she gasped and put her hand over her mouth; blood was staining Tina's uniform.
"Oh God. Tina." she breathed. She looked up and saw Tina giving her a small smile.
"Let me help you. Stop flying. Put it on autopilot!" she yelled, but Tina just shook her head.
"Can't. Autopilot's broken." Rachel cursed. Why did Quinn and Puck have to be useless now?
"I'll be OK Rachel." Tina told her. Rachel lowered her head as she felt tears streaming down her face. Her best friend was dying.
"It's just my time." Tina continued. Rachel's head snapped up
"No. How can you saythat Tina? You're 20years old! You have your whole lifeahead of you! What about me?What about Mike?" Rachel asked. She saw tears trickling down Tina's face.
"I never got to tell you did ?" Tina asked as she reached into her skirt pocket and took out a small ring.
"Oh God." Rachel said as Tina slipped the ring onto her finger.
"Tell Mike I love him, and, I'm sorry for not saying yes sooner." Tina said, her voice cracking as she finished. Rachel nodded, too stunned to say anything as she walked over to hug her best friend for the last time. As they embraced, Rachel made sure that she didn't put too much pressure on her stomach. When they pulled away, Tina patted Rachel on the back and said
"Go get him tiger." Rachel laughed a sorry laugh as she headed for the door.
"Have you seen this guy Tina?" He could kill me by sittingon me! And besides, you've already got people fighting him!" she said as she opened the door and stepped outside. Before she closed the door, she heard Tina laugh and say
"That wasn't the 'him' I was referring to."
So that's Tina's exit! I was really sad when I was writing this, I wrote it with a heavy heart, but I think she deserved a fighting exit, don't you? Tell me what you think in the review! :)
I also wanted to let you guys know, Tina's final line? I actually heard that from an episode in Grey's Anatomy. Adele said that to her husband; Richard. I just edited it so that it would fit the situation.
Note: I won't be able to get the next chapter up for a little while because I'll be on a plane for about 16 hours, and even though I'll type up the next chapter, when I get back to my country, it'll be like midnight and I'm going to be dead tired. After that, I have to pack up my apartment, so I don't know when I'll get the chance to. But I'll try and pack up my room as soon as I can!
Love you guys! :)
