-Chapter 86-The down-
-Rachel pov-
Everything seems to be on a high. Everything has been building up to a good moment. I'm glad it happened finally. Now we just have to focus on nationals.
"Rachel" I look over my shoulder and freeze "You think you're so much better don't you? You think you're better than we ever were right?"
"Y-you can't be near me" I take a step back away from Mercedes "Please just go and no one has to know ok?"
"YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" I watch Mercedes hand raise "You're not walking from this"
-Time skip -Brittany pov-
We've been in the blazer room partying with our win. I've been worried sick thinking. Rachel hasn't come in yet. We sent Blaine out a bit ago but he hasn't come back either.
"You're worried aren't you?" I look at Shelby and nod "Why don't we go and find them?"
"You could use some muscle" Nick smiles "I can be it!"
I give him a small smile back "Thank you" We head out of the room and look around "I don't see her"
As soon as those words come out I see red. Not from anger but on the door. I take off first with the two following. When I reach the door is when I see anger red.
Mercedes is standing over Blaine beating him and behind them...that's my fiancé! I run over and tackle Mercedes. I start throwing punches at her face and throwing elbows. I get pushed off but just jump back on her.
She deserves this! She deserves to bleed like they are! She deserves to be beaten! You can't just attack someone innocent!
"Br-br...Brittany" I turn toward the strangled voice "S-sto-st-stop"
I get off of Mercedes and hold onto Rachel. I feel tears start to fall down my face. I feel a hand go on my shoulder but shake it off. Rachel is bleeding out in my arms.
When the ambulance comes I get up and carry her to them. I hold her hand the whole way to the hospital. Her eyes are open but she doesn't speak. The beeping is the only way I know she's there.
But then it stops..
-Time skip-
It's been 3 hours since we've gotten to the hospital. It has been 3 hours since she was sped away from me. I don't know if she's alive or not. She could be dead and I hate that I can't see her.
I hate I was late to get to her. I hate that Mercedes could've killed her! I HATE THAT IM OUT HERE AND NOT THERE! I HATE THAT I CAN NOT BE WITH MY FIANCÉ RIGHT NOW!
"Brittany?" I turn and see Santana wheeling to me "You ok?"
"She died Santana" I scoff and shake my head "How the fuck do you think I feel?! My fiancé is possibly still dead and these pissants won't tell me anything! HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I FEEL?!"
"You need to settle down right now" I glare at Judy as she walks over "We all are grieving right now"
I shoot up out of my seat "You have no right to tell me to settle down!" I poke her in the chest "You aren't even her mom! You're not mine! So back the hell off!"
"Seven-fifty" I look at Judy confused as tears start to form in her eyes "That necklace you love and are wearing was seven-fifty"
I watch as Judy runs away. I turn toward santana who shakes her head. She wheels away and I sit down. No one looks at me as I start to sob.
I can't blame anyone either. I wouldn't want to be near me either. I fucked up everything. Now I gotta fix it all.
-Time skip-
It's another hour before we got told anything. When we finally are I go to talk to Judy. No one has seen her since...well since I yelled. The guilts been eating at me for it.
I walk around trying to find her and stop. I listen in and what someone crying. I open the janitor closet door and see Judy. Her make up is running down her face bad.
"H-hey" she doesn't look at me "They told us about Rachel"
"Why should I care?" I receive a glare from her "I'm not her mom or yours"
"I'm sorry" I walk toward her "I was upset but that no excuse! You've been more of a mom to me than my own mom! I'm so sorry and I hope I can eventually get you to forgive me"
"You hurt me Brittany" She lightly picks up the necklace I'm wearing "I bought this for you on Christmas...I had thought I was like a mom to you and so I wanted to get you something special! But then I got scared and didn't say it was from me"
"You're like a mom to me" I grab her hand that holding my necklace "You've been showing me how to be a better person! Just please..please don't leave me like her"
"I won't" She gives me a small smile "Let's get me cleaned up and you to your fiancé"
"Yeah" We walk out and I see a frantic looking Lucy "What's going on Luce?"
"It's Rachel" I feel my heart stop "Her heart monitor stopped again...there's too much fluid in her head..they are in surgery now"
I feel my legs go out from under me. She was fine..the doc said there was nothing left. I was going to see her. She was fine.
I feel arms wrap around me and I let it out. All of the anger and sadness I've kept in me flows. I don't know who has me but I don't care. I just need to let this all out.
I need my fiancé to be ok. I need her to get back to being ok. I need her to live for me. I can't live without her anymore.
-Time skip-Shelby pov-
Brittany fell asleep 2 hours ago. The club is currently away talking to their family. I have been allowed to be next to Rachel. She looks so peaceful in her sleep. They got the fluid out but she's now in coma.
They say she should wake up early. They also said it could be months or years...she could also never wake up. I don't wanna think about that though. I wanna focus on her gettin up.
"I have a song I've heard you sing a few times" I smile and grab her hand "I'm not as good as you are but..but I wanna sing it for you!"
-Shelby singing-
Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly
I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade!
I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!
But whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection
Or freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy
Juicy, and you'll see
I'm gonna have my bite, sir!
Get ready for me, love
'Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade!
I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole shebang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target, and wham
One shot, one gun shot, and bam
Hey, Mister Arnstein, here I am!
I'll march my band out
I will beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me, love
'Cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade!
I brush a piece of hair out of her face and sniffle. My baby girl is hooked up to so many machines. I really want her back. I need her back.
Please wake up...we all need you.
