Santana smiled for a minute at what Brittany had said to her, then she heard the phone being wrenched from Brittany's hands and the small smile she had vanished. She now stood with Blaine, Mercedes, Rachel, and Artie. Sue, Emma and Beiste stood a little bit nearer to the police, and the group of parents stood in between the kids and the teachers.

"Guys! I just got a call from Mike's parents! He is out of surgery! He is going to be okay, but they don't think that he will ever be able to dance again." Emma said walking over to the group of Glee Club members.

Of course they were a relieved Mike was okay, but they couldn't help think of how devastated he would be when he found out that he wouldn't be able to dance again.

"That is awful, he will be so upset." Artie said.

"Honestly, I think he would trade dancing for his life anyway." Santana said.

"Ya Santana is right, thank God he is okay." Mercedes said. "I hope that Quinn will be alright."

"I'm sure she will, Q is a fighter." Santana said trying her best to sound reassuring and confident. On the inside however she was nothing of the sort, she was a mess and was doing her very best not to show it, she wasn't doing a very good job though.

Santana surveyed her fellow released students. All of the other four of them looked similar. She was sure she looked the same. They all had blood on them, Santana winced at the fact that some of it was probably hers. She didn't have any blood on her because she had been cleaned up and was now wearing a pair of Brittany's sweat pants and a T-shirt that Mr. Pierce had brought for her. All five of them however wore the same expression of fear, hurt, and sheer terror.

They stood there not talking, the didn't dare say anything about the people still inside the choir room. They all were there in their minds though. Mercedes and Artie were standing talking to each other in hushed whispers about Blaine, Rachel and Santana and how pale they looked. Santana could here them but didn't even bother to say anything her mind was on one thing and one thing only, Brittany S. Pierce.

Santana still remembered the first time that they had met, it was thirteen years ago. They had been in the same kindergarten class. Santana had seen some boy picking on a blonde girl with blue eyes and decided to stick up for her. She had gone up to the boy,one David Karofsky, and punched him in the face. From that moment on Santana and Brittany had been best friends. She didn't even remember when it had turned into something more. One day they were sitting on Brittany's bed doing their homework and it had just happened. It was freshman year of high school and it was an accident. They had both reached for the bowl of popcorn at the same time and they had hit their heads together. They had stared at each other for a moment and they ended up sharing their first kiss. Santana had suppressed her feelings for Brittany for the next two years until they finally got the courage to admit it to each other. Earlier this year Santana had managed to work up the courage to tell everyone, even her parents. He parents had called her all sorts of names, hit her hard, and kicked her out of the house.

Santana recalled what had happened that night:

She hesitated for a minute but then got out of the car, she knew that Brittany had told her parents already and they had been more accepting then either of them had ever hoped for. Santana had talked to them a few times and they had treated her the same way that they had for the past thirteen years, like a part of the family. So she sucked in a shaky breath and made her way to the door. She found it hard to walk because she was so sore. She rang the doorbell and waited a minute in the darkness.

James Pierce opened the door, he appeared to be laughing at some joke when he opened the door. His face fell when he looked at Santana standing in his doorway. He gasped as she collapsed into his arms.

"Santana!" He had yelled in shock. At the sound of her name, Molly Pierce and Brittany came out into the hall to see why she was there. They both gasped at the sight of her.

"Santana who did this to you?" James had asked.

"I came out to my parents. They kicked me out." Was all she had managed to choke out.

Santana snapped back into reality and looked over to Mr. and Mrs. Pierce. They had taken her in, accepted her and loved her more than her own parents ever had. Now they were standing huddled together with the other parents waiting desperately for any news of their daughter.

"Can everyone please come here for a moment?" Chief Wilson called out. Everyone made their way over to him. "We have decided that we cannot wait any longer. We have to act now, it is time for us to go in."

"Its about time." Mercedes said.

Chief Wilson nodded and walked away to ready his men. He left the parents, teachers and students all standing huddled together in one big group. Night had fallen and they were standing under those portable lights you see at fairs. They all stood together and watched as the police officers stormed the school.

Two minutes after the officers went in they could hear the loud blasts of multiple gunshots going off from inside. Sooner than they had expected the shots stopped and an eerie silence fell. Then people started coming out. Will came running out of the building and yelled something to the paramedics. His white dress shirt was covered in blood, some looked fresher than other spots. He then spotted the group. He came running up and hugged Emma tightly. They kissed for a very long time. They finally broke apart and Will spotted Santana.

"Santana!" he said and gave her a hug.

"Mr. Schue! Where is Brittany?" she asked. He looked at her for a moment before answering.

Before Will answered the doors to the school opened. Finn limped out being supported by Kurt. Finn had clearly been shot in the leg, but Kurt looked unhurt. After that Tina came out being supported by Brittany. Tina was clutching her side. At the sight of her EMT's surrounded her and loaded her up into an ambulance. Her parents jumped in after her. Finn was put in another. Rachel sprinted over to him and reached him the same time that Carol did. They both hopped into his ambulance and then both of the big red trucks were gone, lights flashing, sirens yelling. Kurt was smothered by Blaine and Burt.

Santana ran up to Brittany. Her parents had reached her first. They were all crying, both parents and girls. Once her parents let go of her Brittany threw her arms around Santana. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce backed up a little and began to thank the police officers in order to give the girls some privacy.

Santana smiled now that the blonde was safe in her arms. She pulled away and gave her a quick kiss before looking into those deep blue eyes. Brittany was crying as was Santana.

"I thought I'd lost you, Britt." she whispered.

"You'll never lose me." Brittany said repeating Santana's words from earlier. "I love you Santana."

"I love you too Brittany, more than you know." she said and pulled her in for another hug.
