Chapter 12 :)

I have no idea when I'll end this, so at the minute I'll keep going til I run out of ideas =D

Also if you have any ideas about where the story could end up, feel free to message me!

Rachel watched as Noah left the room and it filled her with dread. How could he just leave her here with Santana, she had done nothing but humiliate her time and time again. She watched the cheerleader warily as she pulled a chair from the corner nearer to the bed.

'So…'

'Santana, why are you here? You have showed no interest in my well being pervious to tonight'

She sure does get to the point, huh? Suppose theres no point in me beating around the bush either…

'I heard what happened. And I guess I wanted to come for support of something like that'

She shrugged her shoulders and tried to look as if she didn't give a damn.

'Heart warming as ever, Santana but I don't need you here.'

'I'm not the only one here Berry. You know that right? Everyone's here for you…well 'cept Quinn cos I told her to leave.'

'Quinn? She was here?'

'Yea but she's gone now, don't worry I told her to get out.'

'Why would you do that? Quinn's your best friend'

'Because she's a bitch, normally I'm all up for that. But tonight's shown me how much of a major bitch she can be. And FYI she's not my best friend, she was my captain and now she's not. Plus she got knocked up by Puck when she knew we were fuck buddies'

At the end of her little rant she folded her arms, flipped her hair and did that little head movement with attitude that she known for. Rachel stared at the girl in shock; that was probably the most she had ever heard the cheerleader say in one go.

'Okay…? But why is everyone else here?'

'Mr. Schue called all of us and let us know what was happening. Then we all arranged to meet up here to see if you were okay.'

'No, you's just wanted to see if i would live or not. So that the Glee club could still compete in regional's'

Rachel was beginning to get herself worked up. She could feel it. Her breath was becoming shorter. She could hear it. The heart monitors beeping was increasing. For the time being it was just slightly increased.

'Listen Berry just cos your life revolves around that fucking Glee club doesn't mean everyone else's does. Some people actually give a damn about you!'

'And it just so happened that they figured this out on the night I could have died. Convenient.' Rachel laughed

'Urgh , you are so stubborn. Why can't you just accept the fact that there are people out there that want to see you live?'

'Because every day you and your group of harlots have told me I'm worthless. I've had slushies thrown on me day after day. Do you have any idea how much my dry cleaning costs? I've been picked on mercilessly for no good reason. So what if I like show tunes as appose to whats in the Top 40. So what if I actually want to get out of this town is that so bad? Don't you want that too?'

Tears had fallen down her face, thinking back on all that she had to tackle in her short life.

'So I'm sorry if I can't believe you after years of verbal and physical abuse' the beeping of the heart monitor was increasing with every sentence Rachel spoke. Worried Santana wiped the tears of remorse and guilt from her cheeks, got up and before she could reach the door she was told to sit down. The two girls stared at each other, neither one saying anything. Rachel because she had said all that she had wanted to and Santana because she was worried that if she did, it might work Rachel up again even more. When the beeping had finally returned to normal, Santana began to speak.

'Look Rachel, believe it or not I didn't come in here to fight with you. Puck told me that it was because I was the only one looking out for you. I was looking out for you cos I'm sorry. I know I've been horrible to you over the years; I've done some pretty shitty things. And things have happened to you either by me or because of me but I am so sorry. If could change everything I would, in a heartbeat but I can't. I just wanted to let you know that. And I promise I won't let anything else happen to you. I know you can't forget what I've done but I'm hoping you can forgive me.'

Santana got up from her chair and wiped away the tears that had fallen during her speech. She looked at Rachel and went to move forward. She hesitated and moved back again. This was repeated several times while Rachel looked on, slightly amused and also wondering what the girl was going to do to her. With a look of determination on her face, she simply said 'Fuck it' and leant in to hug Rachel Berry. After a few seconds she felt the petite girl hug back and after ten seconds or so she broke the connection and without a word turned and opened the door.

'Santana…'

'Yea?'

'Thank you'

'I'll make it to you, I swear' she said with a slight smile tugging at her

With a smile on both of the girl's faces, Santana walked out of the room and shut the door quietly behind her as to not wake the sleeping form of Puck that was currently on guard at Rachel's door.

Santana's on the road to forgiveness! Yay :)

I think this is all for tonight, its 4.46am :( but I should have more come tomorrow hopefully!

Review…?
