If I Die Young.

A week had passed since the stabbing of Rachel Berry and everybody had an overwhelming sense of guilt inside of themselves because they never gave her a chance to explain why it was that she hated Caleigh Adams – so much. They still didn't, until Santana confirmed their worries.

"When Caleigh and Rachel were together, it was violent. We only became friends after because we were trying to find a way to win over….uhm… the people that we fell in love with. But, I knew she was holding something back. So, I talked to Kurt and Blaine because she was always with them. They spilled everything just for the reason that I'm tough and they needed someone to look out for her since Caleigh started coming here. But from what they told me, this isn't Rachel's first trip to the hospital. It's never been this serious."

"Well, don't you think some of it has to be Rachel's fault too? I mean, nobody can deny that whenever Rachel talks, she tends to piss people off. Caleigh was honestly not that bad. I mean yeah she shouldn't have gone and stabbed Rachel, but still, Rachel was just…kind of asking for it."

Everybody turned to Artie. Some shocked and furious that that statement just came out of his mouth. Already having tears flowing down her face, Santana glared at Artie.

"Seriously, dude? Shut the hell up!" Finn exclaimed, as he stormed out of the choir room.

"Artie, what the fuck is your deal?" Tina yelled,

"Nothing's my deal. I'm just saying, maybe if Rachel wasn't such a dyke like Santana here, she wouldn't have gotten her ass kicked everyday. Maybe Rchel made her miserable and Leigh just regretted that she broke up with her boyfriend for a girl."

Suddenly, a smirk appeared on Santana's face. 'So that's what's bothering him.' She thought to herself, and by the looks on everybody else's faces, including Brittany's, they knew too.

"So you're putting the fact that hypothetically Caleigh just regretted getting with Rachel after dumping her supposed boyfriend, as the legitimate reason as to why she was beating on Rachel? Seriously, Artie. You cannot be that deranged, actually, yes you can because you're taking the side of somebody you just met and someone who nearly killed one of our teammates over the side of somebody we've all befriended who is also the Captain of Glee club." Brittany replied, surprisingly calmly. But, her calmness wasn't what surprised everybody. It was her sudden growth in vocabulary and that everybody actually understood everything she was saying. Brittany shrugged and mumbled,

"Rachel's been tutoring me in everything."

Suddenly, her heart dropped and tears began pouring out of her eyes. She turned to Santana and collapsed into her arms.

"I miss her, S. What if she dies?"

Santana wrapped her arms around the woman she loved, as she cried for her best friend. 'Rae, you better not die on us.'

Meanwhile, in the hospital Rachel's monitor was flat lining and the doctor's worked frantically to get her stable. Quinn stood outside of her room with her fathers and watched the doctors do what they were supposed to do best. Save her life. They were supposed to keep her alive. She felt tears streaming down her face and suddenly, she couldn't take it anymore. She had always avoided the one place where she felt she didn't belong anymore; but at this particular moment, she had never needed it so much. Quinn ran down six flights of stairs, out of the hospital, and into her car; where she took off. All the while having one thought in her mind,

Please, Please, Please don't take her away from me.
