-Chapter 54- Rex?-

-Brittany pov-

My scare plan has worked to succession! I am only a few simple scares away from the lead! I've taken out the easy ones but oh well. It's taken me two days to get my points! A win is a win. I am pleased to say Amber has gone back to Indiana.

I really didn't mean to kiss her. She was right there when I was upset and then she fell. Hindsight maybe she didn't really fall. I should've turned away but I was soaking up the attention. I know Rachel wants to scare to get her wish but I need mine more.

I'm on my way to my next victim when I get hit with cold. I quickly rub my eyes as the flavored ice slides down. I hear moving around but I can't see who it is. This shit burns! Why does it burn so bad?!

"LET GO OF ME!" I finally hear Santana's voice "LET ME AT HER!"

"I WILL HANDLE THIS!" There's Maribel...What's going on? "Get her cleaned up!"

I feel two people help me up and to the bathroom. We travel a bit and then I hear the door open. There's some footsteps and I'm held onto by someone. I hear some water run and paper towels get grabbed.

"Hold still" I try my best as the towels go over my eyes "Can you open?"

I open them slowly "I can't see" I cover my right eye and look at Quinn "I can't see and it hurts!"

"Rocksalt" We all turn to the door and see a angry Sebastian "It's a tactic I drew up and put in a warbler box for safe keeping"

"Who did this?" Everyone shares a look "What?"

-Maribel pov-

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" I look at Rachel angrily "YOU THREW A SLUSHY AT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?!"

"I-I Didn't!" Rachel looks down upset "I was given the cup before you all got there"

"Who gave it to you?" Shelby raises Rachels head up "You can tell us"

"No I can't" We all share a confused look then look back at her "Don't ask please"

I get up and walk to the front of my desk "You're safe Rachel" I lean against it and give her a comforting smile "You can trust us"

"He made me so mad and called it 'Rex'" Rachel looks down again "All I saw was red and then Brittany was covered in red"

"Whos He?" I bring out the glee club paper "They said you can't tell us, so show us"

Rachel looks at Shelby who nods. Judy puts a comforting hand on her shoulder and I see her give a light squeeze. Rachel shakily points the paper and I feel my blood boil. That son of a bitch.

I quickly leave the room for the bathroom the girls went to. Once I get there though the Warblers and Cardinals are holding back Blaine from Thad and Trent. I smirk and then quickly go into business mode. I strut over and stand between them.

"Trent and Thad I believe you have entered some thin ice" Their eyes go wide "You will be expelled indefinitely! Blaine come to my office so we can talk about your punishment"

"You should go into the bathroom" I look at Dotty confused "It's bad"

I walk in and see Brittany covering a eye. I run over and move her hand. The eye looks bad. I cover her face and rush us out of the bathroom. I run us to the office and then realize Rachel is there.

"Oh god" Rachels face drops and tears start pouring down "I'm a monster! I'm a dang monster!"

"Rach?" Brittany moves out of my grasp towards Rachel "I'm gonna be ok! I know you didn't do it"

"I did do it" Brittany stops moving "Thad talked me up about Amber and you...After that Trent Gave me the plans and...God I've ruined your life! I'm a monster!"

Brittany slowly goes forward and I get ready to separate if necessary. Brittany stops in front of Rachel who looks up teary eyed. Brittany wipes some tears away and then wraps Rachel in a hug. That breaks Rachel even more.

Rachel pushes against her and trys to fight it. Brittany holds strong though and soon is no longer being fought against. Rachel doesn't hug back but she cries into her shoulder. After a few minutes Brittany lets go and looks Rachel in the face.

"I hurt you so bad" Brittany wipes away more of Rachels tears "This is just a small thing I deserve for seeking attention elsewhere"

"I drop out" We all look at Rachel confused "I know you had me pegged for Nationals solo but I don't want it...My punishment will be suspension for however long"

"I'm glad you thought that wasn't already gonna happen" I chuckle and shake my head "You ready to go to the hospital now?"

"Yeah" Brittany stands up fully "Let's go"

-Time skip-Brittany pov-

I keep looking at myself in the mirror on the way home. I could've gone blind today. I could've lost my eyesight completely. But my only real worry from that was never being able to actually see Rachel again. I wonder what would've happened if one of us ever got blind back in McKinley...I guess that's a alternate reality now.

"She'll still love you" I look over at Maribel whos smiles "Now come on"

She parks and we get out. She walks in first and I follow slowly behind her. It's so weird being one eyed. I feel like a hot cyclops!

"BRITT!" Before I know it arms are around me "You made it back!"

"Of course I did" I wrap my arms around Rachel and smile "I'll always come back home to you no matter what"

"Come here!" She breaks the hug and grabs my hand "I wanna show you something!"

I chuckle and let her drag me through the house. She leads me to the basement. We have a music area/Gaming area down here. With musical kids they had to set up a silent place.

"Sit down" I get sat down and look at Rachel the best I can "This is for you"

-Rachel-Brittany-Both-

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

And you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did

I don't know why I said the things I said

Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside

Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry, but baby

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

And you'd stay

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

(If I could turn back time)

My world was shattered, I was torn apart

Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart

When you walked out that door

I swore that I didn't care

But I lost every thing, darlin', then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry

Too proud to tell you I was wrong

I know that I was blind, and darlin'

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

And you'd stay

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do, ohh

If I could turn back time

(If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time

(If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time, ohh baby

I didnt really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry

But ohh

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

If I could reach the stars

I'd give them all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

If I could turn back time

(Turn back time)

If I could find a way (Find a way)

Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay

(Reach the stars)

"That was supposed to be just for you" Rachel pouts and I chuckle "I appreciate it though"

"We hurt each other" I stand up and walk to her "Are we ok?"

"I want us to" she grabs my hands and looks up at me "Do you?"

"More than anything in the world" We share a chaste kiss and break apart with smiles "I never wanna go without those again"

"Neither do I" We both sit down onto the couch and cuddle together "Never again"

I really do hope it's never again. But when has our lives ever been simple and easy?
