Angst that's all I can say…
Chapter 10…
Emergency room of an extremely small hospital in a small city near Salt Lake City, UT
Naya and Heather walk towards the emergency room entrance with one of their security guards the camera person follows stopping when the three go inside. Naya and Heather walk up to the desk. A nurse comes up with a clipboard.
"My girlfriend cut her hand can we get some help please?" Naya says while Heather opens the towel showing the nurse the gash that is still bleeding steadily.
The nurse walks them into an examination room. The nurse sits down at the desk while Heather and Naya sit next to her in the chairs.
"I'm just going to ask you a few questions first and then the doctor will be right in to treat you." The nurse looks at her paperwork. Naya is annoyed because she thinks they should not have to wait.
"Okay I don't know how you guys do things here… in wherever the hell we are right now. But what part of gushing blood do you not understand?" Naya says and Heather looks at her raises her eyebrows.
"Here I will look at it if you want me to, I'm sure its fine." The nurse opens the bloody towel and sees the cut is worse than she assumed. She covers it back up. "Oh I'm sorry Miss, I'll get a doctor."
The nurse gets up and walks towards the door, "That's right you get the doctor." Naya says further annoyed and worried about Heather.
Heather looks at Naya in pain. "Thanks honey."
"They aren't going to make you wait. Lea Michele wouldn't have to wait." Heather chuckles, while in pain and puts her head on Naya's shoulder.
Naya closes her eyes as she stays strong for Heather and puts her arm around her back.
"I'm okay Naya I know you are worried." Naya opens her eyes.
The doctor comes in before Naya can say anything in response to Heather's comment. He puts on his gloves and sits down.
"Good morning ladies, let's see what we got here." He opens the towel and the blood starts pouring out once again from the side of Heather's hand. She had cut her left hand from under her pinky finger to almost her wrist.
"Oh ow! That's a deep one. How did you do that?" The doctor asks as he cleans it out.
Heather tenses up with pain and grabs Naya's hands and squeezes them tight.
"I broke a mirror and a piece fell and sliced it." Heather starts to tear up at the doctor starts to stitch fast to control the bleeding.
Heather wipes her tears away before the fall on her cheeks and Naya rubs her leg to comfort her. The doctor knows Heather is in a lot of pain because of how many stitches it's taking him.
"So what are your plans for the day?" Trying to distract Heather from the pain.
Heather says nothing. Naya turns her face to face her. She then leans in the whispers in Heather's ear. "I love you so much; you are the strongest person I know. You can do this."
Heather smiles and looks deep into Naya's deep brown eyes.
"I'm done." The doctor looks up from bandaging Heather's hand. Heather turns her head and looks at the doctor.
"Oh my god! I didn't even notice who you guys are. Brittany and Santana." The girls laugh.
"My boyfriend and I are going to see you guys tonight. You will be fine for the show just rest for as long as you can today. I'll give you some antibiotics and it will heal fast. It was deep but clean." He sees the girls still holding hands. "I love that you guys date in real life, you have the most chemistry I have ever seen. It radiates from the two of you."
Heather and Naya look at each other and laugh. "Thanks."
"I heard about your Mom on Twitter, it's hard I know I had that with parents when I was your age. It will get better. She will accept you one day." The doctor says trying to help.
Heather shakes her head with a sad expression, "Thanks but you don't know my mom."
Naya becomes worried about Heather she thinks she needs to have her mom in her life and wishes she could fix the situation because she loves Heather so much.
-About an hour later Heather and Naya walk on the bus were the cast is all waiting for them.
"Well?" Kevin says while he hugs Heather.
"It's a boy!" Heather and Naya laugh. "No seriously I'm fine it was no big deal."
"She is being modest she got like 20 stitches." Naya says, as everyone hugs Heather.
"I'll bet the audience liked that remark we made though." Heather laughs.
"Ryan actually turned the cameras off in here for a couple hours. So they are stuck watching the boys." Lea says as she laughs at the boys.
"We are glad you are okay Hemo." Cory says.
"Thanks guys, I'll see you guys tonight the doctor said I'll be good to go." Heather takes Naya's hand and she pulls her back towards the bunks.
Heather climbs in their bunk, "I'm glad they turned the cameras off I really wanted to hold you."
"I agree." Naya sits on the bed while Heather gets under the covers. She remembers Heather's reaction to what the doctor said about her Mom. "Heather are you okay?"
Heather looks at her bandaged hand, "Yeah what do you mean?"
"You really scared me today. I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Naya says in a concerned tone.
"Well, I don't plan on dying anytime soon and that would be the only way you could. So you are stuck with me." Heather says joking trying to break the serious mood Naya was giving her and pulls Naya close to her and kisses her. Then Lea runs up to the bed.
"Heather your mom won't stop calling me. I have no idea how she got my number but I really hope she losing it soon. I told her you would call her when you got back to the bus." Heather rolls her eyes at what Lea says.
"Thanks Lea." Lea leaves. "I really don't want to call her Naya; she doesn't give a shit about me." Heather says pissed off and continues to stare at her hand she is very upset all this happened.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but you should call her it's the right thing to do. Maybe you talking to her and telling her how happy we are now will help. Maybe it will help her start to accept we are in love." Heather looks up in shock as to what Naya suggests and laughs. Naya leans to the ledge and grabs Heather's phone and turns it on. "Call her, for me?"
Naya hands Heather the phone and Heather stares at it and drops it on the bed. "I don't want to please don't make me Naya."
Naya stands up, "Okay, I won't." Naya doesn't hide her disappointment to Heather. "I'm going to take a shower and clean up. I will be right back." Naya starts to walk away.
"I love you Naya." Heather says softly knowing that Naya is not happy with her choice to not call her mom.
"I love you too." Naya turns back and winks at Heather. She can't be mad at her she loves her too much.
While Naya is getting ready Heather is resting and she decides to call her mom. Maybe Naya was right maybe she if she talks about Naya and their life together it may start to help her mom accept her. The phone rings once and her mom answers.
"Heather!" Heather's mother says very excitedly.
"Hi, Mom." Heather says nervously.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes I'm fine Mom, I just cut my hand. But Nay.."
Heather's mother than cuts Heather off knowing she is going to talk about Naya. "Did you get my text?"
Heather rolls her eyes, "Yes, thanks. Mom I want to talk to you about me and…"
"I know you that you would need God in your life right now. Especially with all the temptations that are being put in front of you." Her mom says cutting her off again.
Heather realizes talking about Naya is now a lost cause. Instead she decides she will just talk to her like how she use to before Glee. When they were close it was so easy then. "How are grandma and grandpa?"
"They are fine, they miss you. They aren't getting any younger I really think that you should come and stay here for a short time after your tour. It would be healthy for you."
"Yeah, I miss them too." Heather says, truly missing her grandparents they helped raise her after her dad died.
"I wanted to tell you that I choose not to listen to any of the rumors that are going around with you right now. I know my daughter and it's all a show for your tour." Heather's mom says confidently.
Heather grows silent becoming confused because she knows her mom is just saying these things out love. Before Naya, God was such a huge part in their lives together. Heather knows she loves Naya but why does everything have to be become to unclear when she talks to her Mom? Why can't it be easy and normal? All she knows is she wants her mom and Naya both in her life now. She goes crazy without them both. And if not talking about Naya is what is takes she will do it. It won't be lying because it won't come up. She knows her Mom won't ask about Naya so what's the harm? "Mom, I know you know me."
"I will let you go rest, take care of yourself and if you need anything call me. And please remember I will be here praying for you."
Heather now completely under her mother's spell, "Okay mom."
"I love you Heather." Heather's Mom says back before letting her go.
"I love you too Mom." Heather ends the call.
Naya pops her head in the bunk just catching Heather as she ends her call. "Hey Hemo who were you talking too? Your mom?"
Heather shakes her head, "No, I was just checking my messages." Heather says lying to Naya.
Naya crawls in bed with Heather. "Was their tons of crazy messages from your mom?" Naya jokes with Heather. Heather pretends to think it's funny as well.
"Yes something like that." Heather flips over on her side away from Naya.
Naya scoots up to Heather and holds her close. "I'm sorry I was pressuring you to talk to her. You were right she doesn't give a shit about you."
Heather rolls her eyes further frustration and turns around to look at Naya, "She does, just not the right way. Cut her some slack okay?" Heather says rudely. Heather turns back around facing the wall and Naya looks very confused and sad.
"I'm sorry I just meant…" Naya reaches out to touch Heather's back and Heather pushes her away.
"It's it okay if I rest alone for a little while? My hand is throbbing and the medicine he gave me is giving me a headache." Naya sits up hurt by Heather remarks.
"Ok I am sorry Heather I didn't mean anything by that. I love you." Naya gets up off the bed.
"Me too." Heather says quietly to Naya. Heather feels guilty keeping things from Naya but she doesn't know what to do. She needs help but she doesn't know what to do anymore.
Naya stands there looking at Heather's back and doesn't know what happened. She is totally confused and scared. She walks out to the main room were the other girl are and sits on the couch not saying anything.
"How is Hemo doing?" Lea asks as she scoots closer to Naya.
Naya shrugs her shoulders, "I don't know, I mean she is a little off."
"Did she call her mom?" Lea asks and Naya shakes her head no. "I know her Mom is in super denial but I really truly believe she needs to have someone else in her life. Don't you?"
Naya pauses and thinks about Lea question. "I don't know Lea, I mean she has us. I don't think that her Mother's influence is good for Hemo. It always ends up confusing her. I was pushing for her to talk to her Mom but I think right now it may cause more damage than good. I think her Mom needs to accept her daughter is dating me first otherwise she may try to control Heather's thoughts again."
Dianna looks up at Naya as she is listening to what Naya said, "I couldn't agree with you anymore Naya. Heather was so close to her mom before Glee. She is also one of the most vulnerable people I know. She just needs you and us right now."
Naya nods, "After today I really don't know what I would do if she left me again. It freaked me out I hate seeing her like that..in pain. I just wanted to take care of her and never see her in pain."
The girls smile at Naya. Lea puts her arm around Naya. "Awe."
-A few hours the cameras come on right as the busses pull up the auditorium in Salt Lake City. Naya goes to her bunk to wake Heather. She climbs into the bunk and snuggles up to her.
"We are here." She kisses Heather's neck. Heather pushes her away.
"Are the camera's back on?" She says freaking out. "Did it catch you coming in here?"
"I don't know Heather it's fine, everyone loves us together, don't worry about your Mom she isn't worth it. You have me and all your friends to be your family." Heather gets her things for the show together in the bunk and looks angrily at Naya.
"I know but sometimes a person needs more than that. Can you please move? I have to get off the bus. And if you don't mind I don't want to show affection yet. I know we have lots of fans in our favor but I don't want to offend anyone either."
Naya starts to tear up not understanding what is going on. "You aren't going to leave me again are you Hemo? Please don't do this." Naya grabs Heather's arm.
Heather looks at Naya with a blank expression, "I'm not leaving you Naya, and I'm not doing anything. I'm just confused about a lot of things right now..okay?"
"Then let me help you." Heather pushes Naya's hand off her.
"You can't. I'm too broken to fix right now." Heather gets up and Naya follows her frustrated.
"Okay seriously Heather what the fuck is going on?" Naya yells at Heather. The other girl's jaws drop to the ground while Heather stops keeping her back to Naya. Amber points up at the camera to Naya. Heather leaves the bus.
What is going to happen to Hemo? Can Naya fix her?
