Okay so I think this is the longest chapter I have done so far that didn't involve lyrics to a song so hope that you like it.

Anyone hear Santana's version of "Songbird" for this weeks ep of Glee? I love it, and you can hear such emotion in her voice. Im sure its about Brittany and that just makes it 10 million times better. Lol. Anyways hope you like this chapter and tell me what you think. I think it's the best one, but what's your opinion?


Brittany sat in the chair next to Santana's hospital bed, her head resting on her hand as she watched a cartoon that was on the television hanging from the ceiling. She hadn't slept much in the past few days she had been there, only a few minutes at a time, because she either saw a vision of a gun in her dreams or thought she had heard Santana move. She hadn't eaten in days and the light headedness was starting to get to her but she would not leave the room until Santana was awake; luckily the bathroom was connected to the room and a nurse had brought her a cup for water if she needed any. She had called her parents several times since she was there and let them know she was okay. They understood that her bestfriend was in the hospital and she didn't want to leave her side so they didn't force her to come home.

"Brittany," she heard someone say, and she looked over at Santana who still lay motionless on her bed, but she hadn't moved an inch from the position she had been in for the past few days. She looked over towards the door and saw Rachel standing in the threshold.

"Hey, how'd you get up here?" she asked as Rachel walked in with two containers in her hand.

"I convinced the doctors that they needed to let me come up here since I was the reason she was shot, and I needed proof that she was okay so I could sleep again," she replied and Brittany gave her a confused look. "She didn't tell you?" she asked and Brittany shook her head.

"Tell me what?"

"The bullet was intended for me, but for some reason Santana had pushed me out of the way, and was unable to dodge the bullet herself. I feel so awful,"

Rachel handed Brittany the two containers in her hand, "I figured you might be hungry, it's just some pasta salad and some cookies for dessert," she said and Brittany took the containers from her hand and set them on the table next to her.

"Thank's I'm starving," she said opening the container that held the cookies and took two out before placing the lid back on. This made Rachel laugh, she wished she could be like Brittany; a child at heart, it would make life so much easier but Rachel could tell that even life wasn't easy for Brittany right now as she sat in the same hospital chair day after day paitiently waiting for her friend to wake up, not even knowing if she would. Rachel took a seat next to Brittany and grabbed a cookie out of the container.

"You care a lot about her, don't you?" she asked looking over at Santana's motionless body than back at Brittany.

"I love her," Brittany said a moment of silence after the question Rachel had asked, but she than regretted what she had said. She hadn't told anyone that, not even Santana and now she had just told someone she barely ever talked to without them even asking. "I just wish I could tell her that," she continued figuring it was too late to take what she had said back since it was already out in the open.

"She'll wake up Brittany don't worry, like the doctor said she is a strong girl," Rachel told her, trying to make her feel better. The truth was she hoped Santana did wake up, she couldn't deal with the guilt of what had happened, she especially couldn't deal with the guilt of lying to Brittany and getting her hopes up.

All of a sudden the two heard a cough and they looked up to see Santana slightly sitting up, her eyes open looking around the room. Rachel stood up quickly and grabbed the cup of water that she figured was Brittany's off the table next to her and walked over to Santana handing it to her and Santana took a large sip before handing an empty cup back to Rachel.

"I'll get you some more," Rachel said walking towards the bathroom and Brittany stood up and walked towards the bed.

"Hey," Santana said in a raspy voice, smiling as she looked up at Brittany.

"Hey," Brittany replied back, tears of joy filling up in her eyes and she couldn't hold them back.

Rachel walked out of the bathroom and smiled at the two of them holding the cup out to Brittany. "I'm going to go let the doctors know that she's up, they probably want to know," she said and Brittany grabbed the cup out of her hand and handed it to Santana. Rachel walked out of the room and turned down the hallway.

"How long have you been here?" Santana asked taking another large gulp of water and handing the cup back to Brittany who placed it on the table behind her before turning back to face Santana.

"Three days," she replied wiping the tears off her cheeks.

"I've been out for that long?" Santana asked her voice sounded almost normal again.

Brittany nodded, "Your mom wanted to be here,"

"Right,"

"The Glee club and my parents send their love,"

Santana knew what Brittany was doing; even while she was unconcious she had heard everything that was going on in the room around her. She wasn't suprised that Brittany wouldn't know that was possible, so she was unsure if she really wanted to let Brittany know she had heard everything she had said or everything she had been watching on the television the past few days. Brittany was trying to stray away from saying anything that she would regret.

"Brittany?"

"How do you feel?"

"Brittany?"

"Are you in pain?"

"Brittany!" Santana yelled as loud as her body would let her without causing her any pain and Brittany finally realized she was talking to her.

"Huh?" she said as if just coming out of a daze,

"I love you too," she replied which caused Brittany to blush.

"You - you heard that?" she asked shifting her eyes away from Santana.

"I've heard everything, including you singing. I must say it needs a little work," she said with a laugh.

"Shut up," Brittany said with a smile, about to playfully hit Santana on the arm, but stopped herself too afraid that she might hurt her.

"I'm only kidding, I love your singing," she said and the two of them laughed until Rachel walked back in the room.

"Now you better not make me regret saving your life," Santana said as Rachel stood next to the bed on the opposite side of Brittany, Rachel looked down at the ground for a few seconds until looking back up at her.

"Thank you. I'm so sorry, I don't know how I will repay you," Rachel said her eyes watering up.

"You don't owe me anything," she replied back sincerly.

"Well I guess I could talk to Artie for you guys if you wanted me to,"

Brittany and Santana shared a confused look before looking at Rachel, "What do you mean?" they said simultaneously.

"Oh that's right, you wouldn't know," Rachel said in realization, "Well I heard him talking to Mercedes and Mike the other day about how he saw Brittany holding you hand while you were asleep, and that she was singing romanticly to you and that she was probably going to leave him for you. You know how our Glee Club is, rumors spread like wild fire," she finished.

"If your boyfriend puts me out of the closet before I'm able to come out myself I will recripple his ass so that not even his mouth can't move," Santana said looking at Brittany and the three of them laughed. Santana had not changed one bit.

"I'll talk to him don't worry," Rachel told them and then looked down at her phone to check the time. "Well I've got to get going, I have to meet up with Finn. Get out of here soon okay, we need you back in Glee and school starts back up tomorrow,"

"Oh joy," Santana said before realizing the second part of what Rachel had said, "Wait? You and Finn? Alot happens when your unconscious, huh?" she said and Rachel smiled before turning around and walking out the door, disappearing down the hallway.

"Enjoy the food," she called back and then she was gone.

"Did she say we need you back in Glee? I think that's the nicest and first none selfish thing she's ever said to anyone," Santana said looking at Brittany who laughed as she took hold of Santana's hand and sat down next to her on the bed.

"Go get something to eat, I know you haven't left this room at all in the past few days and I don't need you ending up in here too," Santana said and Brittany nodded standing up and walking to the door.

"I'll get you something too," she said and then walked out the door.

Santana looked up at the ceiling as she took deep breathes, laying back down on the bed. Her eyes began to fill up with tears and she began to cry so many emotions were running through her mind right now and she didn't know what to do. Happy that her and Brittany were on good terms again and that a relationship was more possible now, in pain because of her shoulder, scared that Artie was going to put her out of the closet and she couldn't return to school without people talking about her, and sad that she ever had to experience something like this in her life.
