Hello guys! sorry for taking this long to update... its just that i didnt have much time to write these days... hope u like it :P

It´s been two months since the last time someone brought a smile to her face. Two months since she laughed heartily, had fun dancing, or watching her favorite movie. It´s been the longest weaks of her life, wich seem to never come to an end. Things became monotonous, her days consisted in mechanical tasks, without even a hint of longing in enjoying things that she used to happily perform. Unaware of the major change her attitude had suffered, she continued with her facade of ´nothings wrong, I´m just busy´... She was now focused on her grades, she signed up for extra curricular clases, and spended most of her off school time doing homework, because after a year of only attending to glee and cheerios practices she was so far behind the rest of the students. Now Brittany understands why she was so happy last year, when all she used to do was dancing and singing... all that happiness faded away in such a short amount of time due to her busy days... well, that and the lack of certain person.

The dancer always knew that being without Santana would be hard. But it was harder to not be able to hear her voice, or see her face aside of simple photos.
It was coming down to her the possibility that the person she loves the most perhaps never want to see her again, and that thought hurt too much.

Loneliness has never been familiar to her, still thats how she felt the first day she started school. Her half was missing and it was not coming back... her hands felt light, her lips lost the sweet taste that made her feel butterflies in her stomach, her body ached from the lack of warm caresses, and even her dreams showed her what she didn´t have anymore.

The front school door opens abruptly and a burst of blonde hair runs through the empty hallways at full speed. She stops infront of the english room, and carefully opens it wishing not to call the teachers attention, who was facing the blackboard writing something. The girl heads quietly to her seat in the back and relaxes when she´s next to it.

"Ms. Pierce, you are late... for the second time this week". The girl closes her eyes and sighs.

"I´m sorry sir, it´s not going to happen again".

"You´d better, because next time you´ll be heading to the principals office".

"Yes, sir". He continues with his previous activity.

"You fell asleep again?". Tina, her current desk partner, whispers.

"Yeah... been hanving trouble to sleep lately, and when I actually fall in sleep it´s already time to wake up".

"Maybe yo should ask your mom to let you skip a few days and rest properly".

"I wish I could, but unfortunately I can´t... coach want us to have perfect assistance in the first practices, either way she´ll put us on the bench to show freshmans how serious she is about cheering".

"Ladies!, do you want detention?". The old man asked with his hands on his hips. The two girls just shaked their heads. "Then please make silence".

Brittany´s POV

God, I feel like a zombie... I´m so tired I just want to sleep for a week. But the funny thing is that, when I´m suposed to sleep I get this insomnia that keeps me up all night.

I´m probably just stressed up with all the school work I´ve been doing.
As I walk into the cafeteria I see the glee kids and I walk to them. When I´m close enough I hear Blaine mention something about Santana, but he suddenly stops talking when they notice me.

Everybody in school already knows me and Santana are not together anymore, specially my friends... but even so I still don´t understand why they think they can´t speak about her in front of me. Maybe theres something they don´t want me to know... maybe she found someone else?... No, that can´t be... I mean, it is too soon, right?. Besides they would have told me... they are my friends too. Damn, I don´t wanna even think about her being with someone else... I know I have no right to be mad if she has a new girlfriend, but it would hurt too much.

But still, I´m not going to ask them to tell me if they feel like they shouldn´t, even if I´m dying to know anything about how she is. So, I ignore the akward silence and looks and sit between Tina and Sugar.

"Hey guys". I say greeting averybody in the table, and they say hi back.

"You´re only gonna eat that?". Sugar asks pointing to the apple and water bottle I placed on the table.

"Yeah, I have cheerios practice next, and if I eat to much I will throw up everything". I say shrugging while I take a bite off my apple. "I´ll eat better after practice". She nods.

"Ok... do you want to go to the mall after school?, Tina is coming too!". Sugar says excited.

"Ahmmm". I scratch my forehead.

"Come on!, come with us!". Tina adds. I´m really not in the mood to go shopping, but lately they have been trying to cheer me up, and they have been super nice to me and I appreciate that.

"Ok... after school we´ll go". Sugar squeals happy. "Now I have to go get some stuff from my locker, but I will talk to you guys later, ok?". I stand up to leave.

"Sure... see you later!"

Sweet mother of god!... I´m gonna die!. We are not even at half of todays training and I already feel like a sack of potatoes... my feet are killing me, my back is begging me to give it a rest, and the best of it all is that I´m sweating like a freaking pig!. I´m starting to believe that all the studying has affected my physical skills.

"Ok ladies!, from the top!". Coach yelled and pressed play to the music. All the girls started the routine, the same one that made us win last championship. Sue is being harder on us this year, she doesn´t want Principal Figgins questioning her capacity again, and now it´s us who are paying the consequences. This routine is so elaborate that the new girls in the team can hardly follow. "Stop, stop, stop!... you girls suck!". She says through her megaphone while turning the music off. She walks around watching at each one of us. She´s pissed. And I´m burning, the sun is particularly strong today... I need water!, cold fresh water running down my throat, and theres a bottle right next to the bench. Coach is still yelling but all I can think about is that bottle. Next thing I know, she´s standing besides me with that loud device next to my ear. "Pierce!". I instantly close my eyes in pain.

"Yes, coach?".

"Whats your excuse?. I understand that they...". She points to the new girls. "... move like blind chickens with no sense of coordination... but you?...". She puts down the speaker and circles me. "What, now that your little taco dealer girlfriend is gone you can´t find your way around?". I don´t want to get in trouble so I stay quiet and just shake my head, even though I would like to tell her a few things. "Tell me Pierce, are you still up for it?".

"Yes, coach".

"Let me know now, cause if you can´t do it right I´ll put you at the very base of the pyramid".

"Yes!, Yes, I can do it!". I yelled back at her, she smiles.

"Good, then show the rest of them how it´s done". She indicates me to stand in front of the team. I obey. All the eyes are on me, and I´m not a shy girl but right now I feel nervous.

Sue presses play once again and the music starts. I take a deep breath and slowly begin to move.

The sunlight is hampering my vision, my mouth is dry and my legs are so heavy. The coreography includes all sort of stunts that right now I´m not sure I´m gonna be able to perform, but I can´t stop right now, I have to prove her that I am the best for this spot.

A few minutes later and I´m almost done, but all of a sudden everything goes black...

When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I would roam
More I do, the less I know

I open my eyes slowly and blink a couple of times. Even though I don´t know where I am I feel completly peaceful. My body feels numb, as if I had slept in the same position for hours. I observe the ceiling and a vague familiar scent reaches my senses, I unconsciously smile.

But I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head

I hear that voice again in the distance, but then goes quiet. I turn my head to the side... god, I´m on her bed!. But how?... I try but I can´t get to remember how I got here. I run my hand through the pillow next to mine, it smells just like her. Could it be?... I can not tell if it is a dream or reality, so I sit, propped on my hands and look around the room. This is definitely her room. And theres that voice once again...

But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

I can hardly hear it, but I´m sure it´s her voice, cause I recognize that song (It´s one of her favourite). I stand on my feet and walk to the door. Sunlight coming through the windows, it reflects on the walls creating bright sparks everywhere. As I advance along the hallway I acknowledge notes being played from the piano downtairs. When I get to the end of the stairs my heart is about to come out of my chest.

I gave you the space so you could breathe
I kept my distance so you would be free
And hope that you find the missing piece
To bring you back to me

She is singing very low, aparently practicing the song. I couple of steps later and I reached the studio where her father placed the big black piano he gave her for her fifteenth birthday. And... there she is... sitting on the small chair... head down, hands on the keyboard, facing the window. I hold my breath and start tearing. She is really there!

Why don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more

When will I see you again?

"I know you are there, you know?". She looks back at me with a smile, but quickly disappears. "Are you ok Britt?". She asks concerned. I realize I´m crying in silence but I nod. She walks to me and grabs my face with her hands. "What´s going on baby?, why are you crying?". I wrap my arms around her neck and bury my face in it. "Please talk to me". She hugs me too.

"I just missed you San... I woke up and you weren´t there".

"Oh, I´m sorry. You were sleeping so peacefully and I did not want to wake you. I´m sorry babe". God, she makes me so weak with her sweetness that I cant restrain myself so I kiss her hard, I´ve missed her kisses... After two or three minutes later she pulls apart. "Wow... What was that for?". She smiles and I caress her face.

"I had a very bad dream and you weren´t with me. I don´t want to spend another second away from you San". I tighten my embrace and she kisses my neck while smiling.

"I´m not going anywhere Britt. You know all you have to do is call me and I´ll be there with you". Her words soothe me.

"Brittany!"...

"What?".

"I said, all you have to do is call...". I interrupt her.

"I know babe, I heard you I just...".

"Britt?"...

I pull away from Santana. "What was that?".

"What was what Britt?". She asks confused.

I look around the room. "You didn´t hear that?".

"Hear what babe?". She frowns.

"Honey wake up"...

I open my eyes widely. "That!... The voice!".

"What voice Britt?. I didn´t hear anything I...". Suddenly I can´t hear Sans voice anymore, I see her move her lips but no sound coming out of them. I start to panic.

"San?". Everything in front of my eyes begins to fade until it becomes dark. A strong pain at the back of my head forces me to close my eyes.

End Brittanys POV

...

"Britt, honey wake up... Sweetheart?". An older version of Brittany says and places a strand of hair behind the young sleeping girls ear. The cheerleader is lying on a bed in the schools nursing room, she has her head resting on a thin pillow. There´s an IV bag connected to her right arm, providing fluids to compensate for the dehydration, wich was one of the few causes that provoked her fainting. The room is quiet and you can hear the voices coming from the students in the hallways, they are all collecting their stuff to go home. "Come on honey, open your eyes". The woman adds. Seconds later the teenager begins to slowly blink her eyes, not getting to keep them open because of the light that right now is too strong for her pupils.

When Brittany manages to focus on the figure of her mother she only tries to reach for the womans hand, thats caressing her long hair, wich somehow got loose from the ponytail.

"Hey love, you made me really worried, you know?". Annie says with a lovingly smile, then she kisses her daughters forehead. "How are you feeling?".

When the girl is about to open her mouth to speak, she stops and holds the back of her head with one of her hands, trying to ease the pain. "Ouch!... what happened?".

"You fainted, and hit your head in the process... apparently you where a little dehydrated, and plus the sun and the excess of workout your body colapsed. So now we´re heading to the hospital to get you checked out and dismiss any health problem, ok?".

"I´m ok, mom". She tries to argue.

"Yeah?, well let the doctor be the one to tell me that". The school nurse comes in later and takes the needle out of the blondes arm and covers the small wound with a bandage. After making sure that the girl is good enough to stand and walk, her mother helps her change into normal clothes... then she and her mother head to the car, where Brittany, with her cell, makes sure to let Tina and Sugar know what happened and apologizes for not being able to join them.

The trip to the hospital isn´t that long but the young girl is so tired that she falls asleep a minute later the car stars moving. When they arrive Annie parks the vehicle and turns off the engine. She delicately wakes the girl up, then both walk side to side into the place.

"Do I have to do it?". She asks her mom stopping in front of a room, where a man, dressed in white, is ready to extract her blood.

"Yes". Annie replies with a "do as I say" look on her face. The girl huffs and continues her way. She sits on a chair and the man places a tourniquet on her left arm and through touch he selects the blood vessel. When he founds the right spot he disinfects the area and prepares to prick the skin. She really hates needles, it kind of scare her, so she closes her eyes tight and tries to think of something to distracts herself. The first thing that comes to her mind are images of the dream she had earlier, her face, her arms embracing her, her sweet scent, her lips, and that kiss... Everything felt so real, they were still together... Santana was there to hold her and protect her from her fears, she felt happy again for one moment, one moment that came to an end in the blink of an eye.

"Ok, you are good to go". The guy says in a friendly voice. Surprised, she opens her eyes and looks at her arm.

"Thats it?". She asks incredulously because she felt no pain at all.

"Yep, you did very good, you can wait outside now". She walks out of there to find her mother sitting on the waiting room.

"It wasn´t that bad, was it?".

"No mom, it wasn´t".

"Brittany Pierce". A young woman calls from behind a desk.

"Thats us!, come on honey, lets go". Annie says standing up from her seat and taking Brittany with her.

"The doctor is ready to see you". The secretary informs kindly to the two blondes, that start walking to the doctors office. When they get in, a man in he´s mid forties receives them.

"Hello ladies, please take a seat". He indicates the two chairs in front of his desk. The women obey and make themself confortable while the doctor takes his place across them in his black leader seat. "So, you...". He looks at the young girl. "...must be Brittany, right?". She nods. "And you are her mother?". He says reaffirming more than asking. The older blonde nods her head too. "Your blood tests are on it´s way, so until my secretary brings them to me lets talk about why you are here today, shall we?".

"She fainted today at school... she was at a cheerleading practice". Her mother responds quickly.

"I see...". He readjusts his glasses and tunrs his attention to the patient. "Have you been feeling sick lately?". Brittany looks up at him.

"Ammm... I- I don´t know... I guess I´ve been a little tired these past couple of days".

"Yeah?, and why is that?". Normally Brittany would feel weird talking to some stranger about her issues, but right now she believes theres no point in lying about the real facts, besides this guy seems nice. Before giving her answer she turns to her mother for some sort of reassurance, so Annie gives her an encouraging smile.

"Be-because I have been doing a lot of school work... like.. til really late at night..."

"Are you behind in school?... is that why you have been doing a lot of homework?".

"Well... I´m not behind anymore... I mean, I´m doing everything I have to, to graduate this year... I just don´t want to have to repeat my senior year again". She said sad.

"I see...". In that moment a knock on the door distracts them. "Come in!". The door opens revealing the woman that was sitting on the desk before, she has a white envelope in her hands.

"Dr. Evans, I have Ms. Pierce´s results". She hands him the papers and leaves the room closing the door behind her.

"Let´s see what we have here". He takes a few minutes to analyze the information written on the papers. At the same time Brittany concentrates in the small device between her hands.

"Can you put that away, please?".

"But mom! I´m just telling the girls I can´t meet them today... If I don´t text them back they will start calling". She defends herself.

"Ok, but turn it off now". The girl doesn´t complain and puts the cell phone in her pocket.

The man clears his throat. "Well... Brittany, apart from feeling tired, have you felt headaches, dizziness or maybe muscle aches?".

"Hmmm, maybe... Am I sick?". She asks worriedly. The man keeps his face buried in the paper.

"According to the results, I can affirm that you are in fact anemic...".

"Is that bad?".

"Sometimes it can be dangerous if you don´t detect it on time... but in your case theres nothing to worry about, cause we can prescribe some medication that will make it all better again...".

"So, that´s the reason she passed out earlier?". Annie is listening to the doctors words but still she needs to know for sure that her baby girl is ok.

"It could be...". He pauses. "But it could also be because of something else". You can see confusion written in the women faces.

"I don´t get it. Are you saying that you are not sure about why my daughter has been feeling this way lately?". He stays in silence for a few seconds, then he takes a deep breath while he wet his lips.

"Mrs. Pierce, can I ask you to give me a minute in private with your daughter, please?". The woman frowns puzzled. Brittany just exchanges glances between the doctor and her mother.

"I don´t want her to leave. Whatever you have to say, you can say it infront of her". The girl states firmly, even though she doesn´t understand what can be so important her mother can´t hear it, but if it is something bad she wants her mom to be there with her... The doctor sighs and removes his glasses, then he clasps his hands over the desk.

"Fine... Miss Pierce, your blood tests also show that... you happen to be pregnant as well".
