Once in the nurses office, Puck left to go tell Coach i was okay. The bell rung and it was now 4th period. The nurse told me i could stay till lunch.
I was sitting on the examination table leaning forward. I was in some pain but ill be okay. I heard the door to the office open and some footsteps, then next thing i knew i felt a slap to the face. The force from the slap sent my face to turn left and i couldn't see who did it.
Slowly, i brought my face back to facing forward, waiting to see who just slapped me.
"What the fuck did you say to Dave!" Santana snapped at me.
I just stare at her. Where the hell did she come from.
"Ummm, i don't know what you mea-" I say getting interrupted.
Slap
"Fuck, can you not slap me? Do you know where we are? The nurses office, I'm clearly injured so stop slapping me-" I get interrupted again.
Salp
Now I'm angry.
I go to stand up and leave but she grabes my arm tugging me back to her. "What the hell did you say to Dave! She said loudly but still angerly.
"I didn't say shit! in fact I'm here because of your dumb excuse of a boyfriend, he tried to kill me with one of the fucking workout machines! I was minding my own business when he decided i apparently wanted to stop breathing instead of working out!" I yell back.
She looks up to me a little shocked but then her expression changes back to being angry and she shoves my chest. "Well then why the hell is he coming up to me complaining about you. Saying you were saying things about me!" She yelled back.
I laugh and roll my eyes. "Thats hilarious." I say with a sarcastic smile.
Santana is not happy that I'm laughing, she growls and lifts her hand again, ready to slap me. As she's about to swing i catch her arm with one hand and put my other hand on her chest. I forcefully walk her back into the wall, i now have her left arm pinned above her head and my hand on her chest.
"Just an FYI sunshine, i wasn't talking about you. Your so called boyfriend was giving the whole team a detailed display of how dominant you are in bed. Don't get me started on him describing you cumming. Ew, let me just say its not how it was with me." I say laughing, I'm now leaning into her to whisper in her ear. I can hear her gulp and her breathing change. "Also, Dom? Thats funny coming from you, but what really caught my attention was Krofsky making a comment about your period. He seems to think it lasts 15 days." I say laughing in her ear. "With an idiot like him, i can see why you say that. But for his, let's say education, i helped him out a bit. I informed him that a period can last up to 7 days. Can you belive he made a coment about knowing the female body more then i do? For christ sake, i am a female. Also just to help you out in the future, i told him where to relocate the clit so you can actually cum when you guys are fucking." I finish releasing my hold on her. I slowly moved from speaking into her ear to our lips being inches appart. I breathe out and i can see her looking to my lips. I look from her eyes, then to her lips. I slowly move in but stop and take a step back so I'm standing a foot in front of her.
"Maybe talk to your boyfriend about respect? Cus i for one would never talk about a girl like that, especially not you. But he seems to think that bragging about what yall do makes him cool. Its disgusting." I say turning around and leaving her still leaning against the wall in the nurses office.
Thank god it was lunch, after leaving Santana i just walked around the school, i did go to the bathroom and saw the red hand print from her slapping me 3 times in the same spot. Welp thats gonna leave a mark. I made sure to go change back into my regular clothes then I headed off to lunch.
I walk to the Cafe and look for Puck. I find him sitting with the glee club, so I walk over and take a seat next to him.
"It was fucking crazy! He almost killed her and everything, and she just spat straight facts and calling him out. It was epic until she couldn't breathe. He had his goons holding us back so we couldn't stop him." Puck said, to which the other guys agreed.
"Yea like I saw her go red, he was really pushing down on the machine." Finn said.
"Well Brittany how are you? We heard you had some difficulty at practice." Rachel says, and everyone looks to me.
I look up from my hands and turn to face them all. "It was bull." I said looking away.
Quinn gasped and grabbed my chin, turning my face so my cheek faced them all. Then I heard other gasps. "What the fuck happened?" She asked.
"Oh that." I say pulling my head from her grip. "That was Lopez expressing her love to me." I say still looking away from them.
"Are you serious? Girl it looks like your cheek is a whole different colour." Mercedes says shocked.
"Wait for real? Why?" Puck asks also getting mad.
One thing yall should know is that were all actually good friends here in glee club. I surprisingly like them. Obviously Puck, the guys and I have been friends for a while because of the basketball team. But the glee kids are kinda chill and there not bad company.
"Brittany? Why did she hit you?" Quinn asked.
"Oh well whatever happened in the weight room was my fault, so she came to the nurses office and just attacked me. Apparently Krofsky got mad at her for something? I don't know, but I didn't even say anything about her." I said resting my head onto my hand.
"I mean you did say a little about her." Puck said.
"Yea Puck, I said that a girls period doesn't last for 15 days and that from experience of having sex with Santana, that she's not a Dom." I said getting frustrated.
"You said what? No wonder Krofsky got mad." Quinn said laughing. The other glee kids listened with jaws dropped, other then the boys from the team.
"Well you should have heard him Quinn, talking about her cumming and how she likes it. It was kinda, um, detailed." Sam said unsure of how to explain it.
Quinns face shot from Sams to mine. She tried to hold in her laughter but couldn't. The other girls also laughed.
"What?" Finn asked the girls.
"Wait he doesn't believe a girls period lasts 15 days right? Like your joking." Tina asks.
"Oh no, he does, also claimed he knew more about the female body then I do." I say pointing to myself with an expression that said, 'Really?'
"What? thats hilarious." Rachel says laughing.
"Like I have the fucking vagina, I get periods. how would he know more then me-"
Bang, Bang, Bang.
I was interrupted by 3 fast loud sounds.
The cafeteria went quiet. Everyone looked to one of the cafe doors.
It was quiet, then you could hear screaming coming from outside the cafe.
"The fuck was that?" Puck asks the table.
The cafeteria is still quiet. No one knows what the sounds were. But hearing the screams was not a good sign.
Out of nowhere the cafe doors shoot open and students start running in screaming. Everyone is waiting for an explanation until they heard one kid yell.
"Shooter! There's a shooter in the school!"
My heart dropped. No fucking way, I mean you hear about this in the movies abut you never think it will happen to your school. Everyone in the cafe started to panic and scream.
I looked around our table, everyone was panicking. My instincts kicked in and I emedielty covered Quinn, making sure she was safe. I looked around watching as students started to run into the cafe screaming. It was crazy, people were pushing and running over others just to get inside.
I quickly get up and help a girl who was getting trampled by a few of the hockey guys, Puck got up to help me.
I started to look around the cafe in panic. Is this really happening? Is there really a shooter?
I stood there frozen for a second when Puck started to call my name.
"Britt? Britt!" He called.
I turned to see the whole glee club freaking out at the table, Quinn had a face that I have never seen before, and Puck looked scared just looking to me.
"Yea, sorry." I say running back over to them.
I got to sit back down when Quinn grabbs my arm and tugs me up. "We need to leave, now!" She yells so everyone could hear.
I quickly shake my head and pull her back down. "No, everyone is in the cafe. This is the safest place to be right now. Just stay okay?" I say trying to comfort her and the glee club.
For some reason I start to get this feeling, like I'm forgetting something. Its like I need to find something, i dont know what but i kept looking around.
I keep looking at all the faces, marking them off from my list. Why is this bugging me so much? I keep looking around when I spot red and white. My eyes pop out of my head in excitement. Kinda stupid to get butterflies right now, but honestly just the thought of Santana gets me excited.
I wish she didn't hate me, and I wish I knew why she broke up with me.
I start to walk a little from the table looking over the students running around screaming. You can see everyone huddling to tables and getting down on their knees to hide. Kinda stupid with the whole cafe being opened but their scared. This is the safest spot right now.
I stop abruptly when i see another uniform. Wait! Where is she? I look back to Quinn and i see her also looking around.
"Q." is all i say, when she turns to me with this frightend look.
"I know Britt." She says, i can hear the panic in her voice. I start to walk around a bit to get a better look, maybe shes with the Cheerios or in the cafe line.
"Britt where are you going?" Puck asks as I'm still moving away.
I'm now panicking, not for myself but for her. Why isn't she here. She's usually here!
"I can't see her!" I scream. The whole glee club is trying to hide. The girls screaming and the guys trying to comfort them and cover them. Puck now looks around the cafe knowing what I'm talking about. "Where is she?" I ask.
"I, I don't know. She didn't tell me she had to go anywhere." Quinn said also getting anxious.
"Wait, maybe she's with Krofsky." Puck asks.
"No she stays away from him at lunch, she's usually in the cafe, we didn't have to meet with coach so she should be here." Quinn said now standing on the lunch table seats.
"I gotta go!" I yell and book it to the other cafe doors running out. I could hear Puck and Quinn scream after me, but it stopped once the doors to the cafe close.
I run down the hall, its quiet and empty. I go to round a corner when I hear 3 more shots.
Bang, Bang, Bang.
I stop and almost slip. I lean against the wall and peer over the corner to see if I can see anyone. I see a tall figure wearing a black hoddie, I notice his jeans have a rip in the right knee, but his back is facing me. He turn the corner down the hall and I can't see him no more.
I push off the wall and run in the different direction. Where the fuck could she be, maybe the locker room? Bathroom? Fuck there are like 4 female bathrooms in the school. Maybe the choir room? Okay let's try the locker room first.
I run down the hallway and burst through the door. I run around the room looking for her, I check the showers and everything. I was into the bathroom part when i stumble appon the girls soccer team on the floor shaking, they were huddled up all crying.
"Santana? Is Santana here?" I ask.
One lifts there head still crying. "No she left like 10 minutes ago." The girl says shaking.
I just nod my head. "Hey guys, I'm sure you know, there is a shooter in the school. So I'm gonna go okay? But I need one of you guys to lock the door so they can't get in, okay? You'll be safe, there is only one door into the locker room. And if they start to nock on the door or try to enter go into the showers, they have a closet in the back, you can fit inside and lock that door to." I say trying to calm the group down.
"What about you, you can't go out if there is a shooter." One girl says.
"I have to, I'm looking for someone." I say trying to speed up this conversation.
"Santana right?" A girl in a cheerios outfit says.
I just nod my head looking back to the front door. "Yea she was talking about you. I don't know what you said or did but she was upset. Said something about getting paper for Sue? I don't know what that means." The girl says wiping away her tears.
I smile, I know exactly what she was talking about. "Thanks, okay I gotta go." I say running out the door. I hope the girls listened and locked the door.
I ran down the hall, making sure to look before entering a new hallway. I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out and looked at the messege.
From Puck: Dude get ur ass back here. Quinn is flipping that you left. We tried to call her but there was no response.
My phone vibrated again.
From Q: Pierce, you better get your ass back here now! Or I'm gonna be the one to kill you!
"Fuck" I whisper out loud. They didn't get an answer from her. Ugh, I don't even know why I'm looking for her, she was such a bitch to me this morning. Using my private problems that only Puck, Quinn, and herself knew, against me. That was fucked, and then slapping me? Im pretty sure my cheek is bruised. But, I need to make sure she is safe. Its killing me. My chest just hurts at the thought of her getting hurt and me not being able to prevent it.
I put my phone back in my pocket and look down the hall.
Shit the room I need to get to is where I last saw the shooter. Its funny actually, when me and Santana used to date we would leave class to have little make out sessions.
We got caught once in the bathroom so we needed a new code, and the teachers wouldn't let her leave to go to the bathroom. So she made up a lie that Sue needed paper for her aggressive printing addiction. Now when a teacher ever heard a cheerio say anything involving Sues name they dont ask questions. So we agreed to meet inside of a janitors closet to get our mack on.
We even used the code in texts, she would send a message saying. 'Sue needs paper, meet in 5.' And boom we would meet in the closet for 15 minutes.
I was now smiling at the memory, I quickly swiped it away when I rememberd that we don't do that anymore. We aren't dating anymore. To be honest I don't even know why we broke up or why we hate eachother.
In fact everything was good until the day before we broke up, she started to ignore me and act rude. Then she told the school rumors about me, I tried to talk to her but then she told everyone about my private life, and my family. My, situation at home. It broke my heart, I thought we loved each other but I guess I was wrong. I slept with one girl about 2 weeks later, it was Emily. When Santana found out, she got worse. getting people against me and sending insults. It went downhill from then.
It kinda sucks cus, since Santana, I have never been able to be in a relationship. I'm to scared to let anyone close enough to hurt me. So I play them. Well not Emily, she was there for me and listened to me when I had my problems.
She knew it wasn't my fault, and then helped me out. Were pretty good friends, she knows I don't like her like that though, to be honest I think she likes a girl from the volleyball team. Wow I never realized how much Emily has helped me with the whole break up thing-"
Bang, Bang, Bang.
I hear again, and close. Fuck I got distracted again, I forgot I'm not in class. I'm in the empty halls where a shooter is running around.
I start running down the halls towards the room. Shit! I just realized i don't know where Emily is, i didn't see her in the cafe either. Usually the soccer team has practice at lunch, but you never know.
I round the corner and i can see the janitors closet me and Santana used to use.
I'm about to run towards it when someone grabs the collar of my shirt and tugs me back. They pull me into another hallway and slam their hand onto my mouth to shut me up. I look up to see Puck, i sigh in releif. He brings his other hand to his own lips as if to shush me. Then he removes his hand from my face and points into the other hall. We both peer around it and see the figure with the gun, still not able to see the shooters face.
"Why the fuck is he monkey guarding the hall!" I whisper yell to Puck.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Puck whisper yells to me, it catches me off guard as he shoves his forearm into my chest to keep me rooted. "We yelled at you when you ran out of the cafe, texted you and you don't even respond. Are you trying to kill Quinn?" Puck snarls at me in a whisper.
"No, but she's not in the cafe, she could have been shot or scared. I need to find her." I say also snarling back while whispering.
"We know, B, were scared to. But how will you help her if you get your self shot or killed, huh? Look I know you still love her, I get it." He says but I cut him off.
"I dont love her!" I shoot back.
"Well to be honest B, when someone would risk there life to find someone else, they must love them. An example, I came after you, I love you." He says still pinning me to the wall.
"Ew Puck, just, no." I say discusted.
"No, not like that- I love you like a sibling B, thats what I meant." He said clarifying.
"I know, I was just fucking with you, but where is Quinn?" I ask looking behind him. "Im supprised she didn't come with to kill me herself." I say causing us to both laugh a little.
"We agreed that she would stay in the cafe incase Santana showed up. She sent me to die trying to find you." He says smiling.
"Well that sounds lovely." I say sarcastically.
"Yea, shes still mad I didn't stop Krofsky from almost killing you in the weight room, and also for leaving you alone to get attacked by Lopez." he says letting his arm drop from my chest.
"Well, I guess that means your in the dog house." I say laughing.
"Shut it, Quinn doesn't even like me like that." Puck says looking around the corner with me.
"Yea sure, hence why she's harder on you." I say scoping the area.
"Well she's hard on you to, does she like you?" Puck asks trying to change the topic.
I look back at him. "Dude me and her are like sisters of course she's gonna be hard on me, but out of all the guys she talks to, she's harder on you. I think she likes you to be honest, she trusted you enough to be here with me." I say going back to looking down the hall.
"Huh, I didn't think of it like that, should I ask her out?" Puck asks still distracted by the conversation.
"Dude." I say turning around to face him now. "Just talk to her first, see where it goes then ask her out. Don't rush into anything." I say, he just nods in response.
"Cool, so like, I'm gonna ask her out tomorrow." Puck says ignore everything I just said.
"Whatever bro, do what you think is right-"
Bang, Bang, Bang.
Both Puck and I jump from the loud echos in the hall. Shit! I really think I have a problem, I keep getting distracted.
"Dude, let's talk about this later. We need to find Santana." I say and Puck nods.
We round the corner and quietly as possible walk down the hall to the janitors closet. I quickly open it and pull Puck inside with me. Closing the door quietly.
I start looking around the small room. "Santana. San! Where are you?" I whisper yell as Puck watches through the crack of the door into the hall.
"Dude, its a closet. If you don't see her, she's not here." Puck says still looking through the door.
"Fuck! I say kicking a table. It made a loud sound and Puck and I went quiet. We heard some footsteps from the hall.
"Oh shit!" Puck whispered. "Hes coming!" He says.
We both step back waiting for the worst, the door opening, getting shot to death. But nothing comes we hear the footsteps stop then continue after a while. They went in the direction we just came from.
Puck sighs and goes back to the door to make sure. "Okay he kept going." He said then turned and shoved me back into the desk. "The fuck is your problem, you almost got us killed!" He whisper yelled.
"I'm sorry, I, I just got angry she wasn't here." I said now resting my hands behind me on the desk for support since he shoved me backwards.
My hand hits something catching my attention. I turn to see Santana's binder. "Ha! She was here look!" I say bringing the binder in-between us.
"Okay so she was here, but not anymore, maybe she booked it to the cafe?" Puck asks.
I opend up the binder and saw her phone. "No, she would have taken this." I say grabbing it and putting the binder back down. I unlock her phone, Ha its still my birthday. I start to see who she texted last.
"What are you doing? How did you get into her phone?" Puck asked watching me.
"The code is still my birthday." I say looking up to Puck with a smirk. Puck just chuckles.
"Well, Lopez has some explaining to do." Puck says watching me read her texts.
"She texted Krofsky last, and Quinn." I said opening Quinns text first.
"Well? What does it say?" He asks.
"Um she told Quinn she heard shots and she's hiding here. Shit! Apparently she saw the shooter and he was following her. She said she needed help. Fuck! Where is she then." I say finishing reading the text and looking up to Puck.
Puck grabs the phone and reads its over. "Dang, It didn't send, she probably didn't have service in here when she sent it. Cus we know Quinn would have answered." Puck said looking from Quinns text to Krofskys.
"Oh and Krofskys says, I heard shots, where are you? He replied with, at the gym are you okay? She said, no hes chasing me, Im going to hide in a closet. He said no, go to the science lab, ill come get you. She said okay hurry hes still chasing me. Thats the last thing she said." Puck said shrugging.
"What? If he told her to go there then why was she here? This makes no sense." I said getting frustrated.
"Well its San, she hates when people tell her to do shit. You know her. Maybe she quickly ran in here to hide, she did say the guy was chasing her. Maybe she hid, he lost her then she left. It would explain her sending the text to Quinn and it not fully sending." He says.
"Well why didn't she take her phone, she never goes anywhere without it!" I say starting to pace.
"Maybe the dude found her, she hid her phone and she ran incase he caught her. Let's just go find her." Puck says.
I nod. "Okay, no matter what, just follow me, okay?" I say, Puck nods and we open the door slightly and look out. I pocketed Sans phone and we ran out the room.
We make it to a stairwell and head to the science hall. Once at the top we round the corner and stop dead in our tracks. Puck tugs me back to the stairs and we crouch behind them looking over the top one to see the shooters back. They were walking down the science hall.
"The fuck. Why is he here now, was he not just down stairs." I say looking at the shooters back, oh I wish I could just tackle him down.
"I don't know, but the science class it there, the classes have 2 doors so we can slip in and out fast." Puck says pointing to a class near the shooter.
"He was just walking down the halls, not looking into any classrooms. I mean it was lunch, so all the teachers were on break and the students were either in the cafe, first floor or gone out for lunch. Sadly this was the best time to have a shooter. When no one could stop them.
"Okay, here's whats gonna happen. I'm gonna distract while you go and get in a room, ill drag him away from the hall and you get San. I'll try to loose the guy and meet you in, um. Let's meet in the choir room. Yea I see you in the choir room." I say not waiting for a response from Puck. I go to stand bug he tugs me down.
"Are you as stupid as Krofsky? No, Quinn will kill me if she finds out I let you do that. Were gonna do a better plan. Um." Puck says thinking.
"Okay here, I'm gonna put a timer on my phone, and I'm gonna slide my phone down the hall, hopefully it can get into one of the room which will distract him, the alarm will go off and he'll go into the room, then we'll sneak into the other class room. If she's in one, it must be Mr Jenkins class, which she takes." He says starting to set his phone up.
"Shit, thats actually a good idea. You should become a cop." I say with a smirk.
"Maybe I will." He says standing up. "Now let's pray my aim is as good as this idea. " He says setting the timer to 10 seconds. He stand up and prepares to slide the phone across the floor.
He tosses it at 6 seconds, it slides making a scraping sound which causes the shooter to turn. Puck gets behind the stairs again and I watch as the phone slides into an open classroom. It hit the door making a thud and bounces into the room. Then a second later the alarm goes off.
The shooter turns at the sound, we both try to see a face but he's wearing a Halloween mask. He follows the sound and walks into a room further down the hall. Puck and I jump up and sprint to the science room.
We go to open the door, I turn the nod and push and Puck pushes my back. But nothing happens, its locked. I jingle the door handle and it won't open. "Shit!" I say.
Puck and I turn around just in time to see the shooter leave the class. I start running, grabbing Pucks hand. I pull him with me. I push him in front of me. "Run to the English hall, go!" I say from behind him.
Bang, Bang, Bang.
The shooter was now shooting at us. Fuck! Was it ever loud. I thought being across the school was loud, but in the same hall, it echoed. my heart was beating really fast and I was shaking, but the one thing keeping me going was Santana.
Fuck i wish I didn't leave the nurses office, or maybe if I followed her to the gym she would be with me. Even if she tormented and slapped me the whole time, at least she would be safe.
We were about to cut the corner to the English hall when another round of shots was sounding in the halls.
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang.
6 bullets, 6 echos, 6 times my body jumped and my heart races faster.
We made it to the corner when we heard one more shot.
Bang!
