A/N: Hey guys. Sorry for the delay again. School and late or sleepless nights are all over me right now.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. It may feel like a bit of a filler to some of you and if it does, I apologize.

By the way, since some of you have asked, there are about 4 or 5 more chapters to this. :)

As always, read and review.

CHAPTER 26

Mercedess

Worst few days of my life; and it's not even over yet.

"Mercedes?" I looked up from where I was sitting, thinking, in the hallway to see familiar faces rushing towards me. Mr. Hummel, the Berry's, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Fabray and Mrs. Puckerman.

"Honey, are you okay?" Finn's mom proceeded to kneel down and wrap her arms around me.

"I'm okay. Apparently I am the one who came off the most unscathed. Just a bit of dehydration." I replied.

"Have you seen our kids?" Quinn's mom asked.

"Quinn, Puck and Finn are okay. Just minor injuries I think. I haven't actually seen anyone since the helicopter landed. I know Rachel and Kurt weren't good though." I answered honestly. Finn's mom got up and put her arm around Kurt's dad and I saw the Berry's do the same for one another.

"What about Blaine? I told his mother that I would let him know." Finn's mom asked.

"He's okay. His arm was pretty messed up though. He and Puck saved Kurt's life. Quinn saved Rachel." I responded. "A lot of people saved each other."

"Do you know where anyone is?" One of Rachel's dads's asked.

I shook my head. "No. I haven't seen anyone since we got here." I replied.

"We'll just go ask at the main desk." Finn's mom said removing her arm from Kurt's dad. "We are glad you are okay honey." I nodded as I watched all the parents walk away. I put my head on my and closed my eyes.

I still can't believe this all happened. A plane crash that miraculously none of us besides the pilots actually died in. Surviving over 3 days on the side of the mountain. Quinn and Rachel falling through the ice; Kurt falling off the side; Brittany really hurt; Tina's head, everyone. How can something like this even happen? I just need Kurt to be okay. And Tina, and Brittany and even Rachel.

"Mercedes?" I heard another familiar voice breaking through my thoughts. I lifted my head to see Mr. Schuester walking towards me, Ms. Pillsbury behind him. I saw that Mr. Schuester's shoulder was in a sling that ran from his shoulder to his elbow.

"How are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm okay. Just keep reliving everything you know?"

"I've been reliving it too. Wondering if I could have done anything differently, not allowed that take-off, tried to save the pilots, not let Kurt stand that close to the edge, watching Rachel and Tina more closely, helped Brittany more. I could not have changed anything though Mercedes and neither could you." I looked into Mr. Schuester's serious face and sighed.

"I just feel like I didn't help at all. Mike saved Santana, Puck and Blaine saved Kurt, Quinn saved Rachel, Puck saved Quinn and Rachel, I was just kind of there." I said quietly. I had been fighting these feelings since we had reached the hospital.

"That is not true Mercedes. You helped Blaine get down to Kurt and you helped Kurt while we waited to see if Santana and Mike would find help. You were actually a big help." Ms Pillsbury answered.

"Have you seen anyone?" I asked.

"Finn. His shoulder was like mine. A nurse was trying to talk to him but he just kept about Rachel and Kurt. We decided that we shouldn't stay around; didn't want to work him up anymore than he already was." Mr. Schuester responded.

"His mom is here." I responded.

"Yes, we saw her a few minutes ago." Ms Pillsbury said. "How about you, have you seen or heard anything about anyone?"

"No. I came and sat out here as soon as they let me go. I don't know where anyone is and I just wanted to sit down for a while." I said.

"Lauren! Puck!" Mr. Schuester said, suddenly calling out to two figures that had appeared at the end of the hall. The two figures hurried over to us and I noticed that Puck had stitches in his forehead.

"You got stitches in your head?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah, like three. I don't even know why they bothered." Puck snorted and Lauren cuffed him over the head.

"When did you even hit your head? I don't recall that." I asked, still surprised.

"I dunno." Puck responded. "Apparently I did though."

"Noah, have you seen your mom? She is here at the main desk, looking for you." Ms Pillsbury said.

"She is? I guess I'd better go find her. See you later babe." Puck walked off and Lauren leaned against the wall.

"Mike's fine." She said and we all looked at her, me still sitting on the ground. "He was worried as Tina had a seizure from her fever. Blaine passed out and so did Sam so they are both unconscious right now. Quinn had a minor concussion and she's with her mom right now. Santana is fine, she's with Brittany. Brittany has a few broken ribs, a major concussion, a broken leg and a broken arm, Artie did break his leg and they fixed it, the best that they could with his situation and everything. Rachel is with her dads, she had some swelling in her brain or something. She and Kurt are both in coma's. Finn's fine, we saw him shouting at a nurse to let him see Rachel and Kurt."

"How do you know that Lauren?" Mr. Schuester asked.

"Puck and I interrogated 10 nurses." Lauren replied matter-of-factly.

"Kurt and Rachel are in comas? Tina had a seizure?" I repeated what Lauren had said, unable to understand.

We could have prevented all of that. We could have taken better care of Rachel and Tina and not let Kurt stand so close to the edge. We could have helped all three of them. Why couldn't I have been more observant of everything? I'm such a terrible person, sitting here perfectly unscathed while they all lie unconscious in hospital beds.

"Mercedes?" Finn's voice broke into my thoughts and I looked up to see him crouching next to me, the others all talking amongst one another.

"Finn? Have you seen Kurt or Rachel?" I asked. Finn's face immediately changed from concerned to grumpy.

"No. My mom and Burt are with Kurt and Rachel is with her dads but the doctors and nurses keep refusing to let me back there." Finn replied crabbily and then his facial expression changed again, back to worry. "I need to see them, make sure that they are going to be okay."

"Finn, you know them as well as I do. They are going to be fine." I said the words even as I knew that I didn't believe them myself.
