Thoughts in [italics]

S = Shay Mitchell
H = Heather Morris
K = Kevin McHale
L = Lea Michele
D = Dianna Agron
J = Jenna Ushkowitz
M = Mark Salling
Amber = Amber Riley
Chris = Chris Colfer
Chord = Chord Overstreet
*Everything happened too fast, Naya almost didn't catch on. One moment, Heather passed her and Shay, running for the door, when a brunette and another blonde ran after her. Then there was a loud door slam. She would've gone to stop the incident but Shay grabbed her hands so she couldn't move. The shocked faces in the room turned into a concerned, but confused pitiful looks.
N: [Heather… what…? she just…]
S: [What the hell…?]
N: Bee.. [I need help..]
K: C'mon, sit down first. [I knew this would happen.]
*Kevin approached Naya and Shay motioning for them to sit down. The cast members gathered around where they sat.
Chord: Okay, what just happened?
*The cast just shrugged and gave Chord an i-don't-know-don't-ask-me looks except for Kevin and Shay who obviously anticipated the scene.
M: Pretty nasty turn out of events.
J: Do you think Heather's okay?
Amber: We won't know that Jen, won't we?
Chris: You okay Nay?
N: I… I don't understand…
Chord: Me neither.
*Silence fell once again to the room. After like a minute or so, Chris can't take it anymore.
Chris: And I quote from the movie Mean Girls, 'Well, this has been sufficiently awkward'. I think I'm gonna go.
Amber: Yeah, me too.
J: Thanks for the food Nay.
M: And yeah, congratulations on your relationship. That wasn't a sarcastic statement okay.
Chris: I'm really happy for you Naynay.
Chord: Me too.
Amber: Thanks for telling us.
J: Yeah, it must've been hard for you, but really, I'm proud of you Nay.
N: Thanks guys.. Gimme a group hug.
*The cast stood up and joined the group hug. They said their goodbyes to Shay and Kevin, then Naya ushered them to the door. Before they stepped out of the unit, the members of the cast each gave Naya their own gesture of encouragement. Chris gave her a hug, Jenna and Amber kissed her on the cheek, while Mark and Chord patted her shoulder. After they've left, Naya went back to her seat beside Shay.
K: So… it's us three again…
N: Yeah…
S: Babe? Are you okay? [Course she's not okay. She probably thinks Heather has feelings for her now.]
N: Yeah I'm fine. I just… I'm confused. Why did she walk out?
S: Maybe the news was too hard on her? [She obviously got hurt.]
N: But why? I mean… I thought she'd be happy for me. Coz she's my best friend, you know?
K: She has her own reasons I guess. You should go talk to her when you're ready. [Like soon.]
S: [As much as I don't want that, it can't be helped. I would be like a selfish bitch to Naya if I don't let her talk to Heather. I don't want to get in her wrong side.] Kevin's right babe. Talk to Heather.
N: [Shay's too nice..] You're sure you're okay with that?
S [Are you kidding? Of course not!] It's fine. She's your best friend after all.
K: Why don't you two go upstairs and rest. I'll clean this mess up.
N: No Bee, don't do that. It's my house and—
K: Bee, it's okay. I can do this. Just go upstairs. Shay can you please…?
S: C'mon babe.
N: Thanks Bee.
*After the girls went up, Kevin pulled out his phone and called Lea.
*Lea's phone buzzed and she immediately picked it up.
L: Kevin?
K: Hey Lee? Where are you? Is Heather okay?
L: I'm with Dianna, in her car. We don't know yet, we're still chasing her cab. How's the situation over there?
K: Not so good. The others already left and I sent Naya to her room to rest. She really seemed out of it.
L: Is Shay still there?
K: Yeah. She's upstairs with her.
L: Okay good. At least she's not alone.
K: Update me on your situation okay?
L: Sure, keep in touch too. Di! The cab is turning left! Sorry about that. Di is a bit edgy right now.
K: I understand. Take care.
L: You too. Take care of Naya as well.
K: Roger that. Bye.
L: Bye.
*Lea put away her phone.
D: I expected drama but a car chase? Too far. [Where is she going anyway? We already passed her building!]
L: No one really knew this would happen. I thought Heather would stand there and pretend nothing's wrong.
D: We should've held her hand so she couldn't have run away.
L: If you weren't so busy eating maybe we could've stopped her in time.
D: Don't blame this on me okay. You're the one staring at the Shay girl and telling me she's pretty.
L: Why would you even brought that up again? I told you, you're hotter.
D: That's because you sensed I was mad.
L: Can we deal with this later? Just focus on the road, please?
D: Wait… when did that cab became a van?
L: What do you mean?
D: Damn it, we lost her!
L: ughhhh~~~!
*Heather sat inside the cab, her thoughts racing fast. She knew Lea and Dianna will follow her so she gave the driver instructions to a certain place they didn't know. She's surprised she wasn't crying, maybe later when she's alone. She arrived at the desired place, a deserted part of a park. Her favorite tree stood beside a lake where she sat and finally let the events of the night consume her.
H: ['I want you guys to meet Shay Mitchell, my girlfriend.']
*Heather let out a loud sigh. Naya's words keep replaying in her head like a broken record. She felt her chest tightening every time the scene plays in her head. And with that she broke down with her hands clenching her chest.
N: C'mon. It's late. You have a shoot tomorrow. I'm gonna be fine. [If you don't mind Shay I really need some space right now.]
S: But I just can't leave you. [I know she needs to be alone but I'm afraid she will have 'the talk' with Heather after I leave.]
N: I'm not hurt babe. I'm okay really. I don't know what the big deal is.
S: [As much as I don't want to.] Fine, I'll go now. But don't go anywhere okay?
N: I won't. Don't be mad at me for making you go okay? [I needed to tell her something so she won't feel bad..] Besides, I don't really want you to go but work comes first right?
S: Yeah, besides Ash is calling like crazy. She set a new record for 20 missed calls in less than an hour. [Seriously. Ashley is acting like a mother to me than my own mom.]
N: See, she's worried about you. Go now before she shows up here and drag you to your unit.
S: Okay. [I wouldn't want her barging in here.]
*Shay gave Naya a quick kiss.
N: Send me a message when you get back okay?
S: Okay.
*After Shay has gone, Naya tried calling Dianna but her phone is out of coverage area. The Latina decided to text her instead.
To: Dianna A.
Where are you? Why aren't you picking up? Is Heather okay? Is she with you? Call me back asap. –Nay
N: [Talking to Heather is inevitable. But what will I say her? What could she possibly reason out to me for walking out like that? Does that mean she… no… I can't assume anything. Besides, I shouldn't think that way. I already decided to move on and not think about her. But I just need to know the reason. After that then I'm done with this. I hope everything will turn out all right, before the start of season 3.]
*Naya drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
THE NEXT MORNING
*Heather woke up inside her unit with a pounding headache.
H: [What happened last night? How did I get home?]
*She sat up in her bed right as Dianna walked inside her room.
D: So you're awake. Good morning!
H: Morning. My head hurts.. uhh.. may I ask what you're doing here?
D: Well, for your information, I stayed here the whole night, with Lea. She's downstairs making breakfast. Here's some pills for your headache.
H: What happened to me?
D: For some reason, you decided to get drunk.
H: But I was at the park… How did I end up here?
D: You were at the park. And then you hit a random bar and drunk the night off. Me and Lea brought you here.. duh?
H: How did you even find me?
D: The bartender called me. Of course he recognized you, so he felt bad I think.. and didn't let anyone see you in that state or else you'd be all over the news right now.
H: How come he called you?
D: Coz I think I've sent more than 40 messages on your phone. We've been driving around like crazy looking for you!
H: Sorry Di… for putting you all through that. And… thanks.. for looking out for me.
D: That's what friends do. No big.
*Just then, Lea entered the room with a tray full of food.
L: And here is breakfast!
D: Good timing. I'm starving.
*Dianna reached out to the tray as Lea was setting it down but the brunette swatted her hand away.
D: Ouch! [Lea is so grouchy when she lacks sleep.]
L: That's for Heather you glutton! [Sometimes I think Dianna likes food more than me.]
D: Hey I'm offended. [Glutton? That's new.]
*The two bickering girls sat down in both sides of Heather's bed.
L: So… You want to talk about what happened?
H: I just… didn't expect she and Shay are… [I had a hunch but I didn't want to think it was true.]
D: Well to be honest, we didn't expect it either. We were really convinced that Naya has feelings for you.
H: How come you guys always say that?
L: Heather, we see how she looks at you. It's different, maybe like what you felt that night when she kissed you on the cheek. She's sweet to everybody but she's sweeter to you, she laughs more when you two are together, and there was one time when she was in a foul mood all morning in the set coz you're not around. Then when you arrived, she transformed from a grumpy troll to a fairy.
D: HAHA! Yeah, I remember that dark morning.
H: Why didn't I see that? I mean… I think I was the only one oblivious to it.
L: Maybe because you're too preoccupied with something else to see.
D: Or someone is blocking your view.
H: Taylor?
L: Uhuh…
D: We couldn't blame you though. I mean we know how important he is to you. Like he has always been your way of life for 6 years now, then Naya came along… maybe because you're used to give all your attention to dancing and Taylor, you failed to notice some things.
H: Why did she have to have a girlfriend first before I realized all these things? [Do I even have eyes? I was so stupid!]
L: A catalyst is needed I guess… for something inside you to trigger.
H: How can I face her now? I'm ashamed of what I did. She probably thinks that I'm a horrible friend. [I'm more afraid of facing Shay and knowing what she thinks of me. But her opinion doesn't really matter.]
D: Don't think that way. Naya would understand if you tell her…
H: I'm not sure I can Di.
L: You don't have to push yourself. If you're not sure of anything, then don't do it. Things will settle in time.
D: Who knows, maybe this incident was supposed to happen. So you could be certain of something.
L: Now eat up. Then rest. We'll just be here when you need us.
H: Thanks guys.
*The two girls left Heather in her room alone with her thoughts.
H: [Dianna's right. This incident made me realize something. Now, I'm sure. I think… no, I know.. I know that I'm in love with Naya Rivera.]
