Looking For San
Chapter 8
'' How is she?'' A male voice said from behind Brittany. The blonde had been sitting on a very uncomfortable chair in the emergency waiting room to see Santana since they got there, which was several hours ago. Brittany turned around and saw Mr Shue with flowers and the rest of the glee kids.
'' I don't know. I haven't seen here since they brought us here.'' Brittany admitted. '' The doctors said they would tell me once they find out what's going on.'' The blond frowned. Every one of the glee kids could tell that Brittany was exhausted from the long night she just had. Her usually straight perfect blonde hair was now a mess and frizzy from the rain, her blue eyes had dark circles under them and from the looks of it the blonde was having a very hard time keeping her eyes open.
'' Wheres Quinn?'' Mercedes asked as she took a seat next to Brittany.
'' She went home a couple hours ago, she said she would be back in the morning and asked if I wanted to come, but I said no.'' The tired blonde said as she watched all of New Directions sit around her and listen.
'' So why didn't you go with her?'' Tina asked.
Brittany shrugged. '' I didn't want to miss anything.''
'' Well Britt, it looks like you could really use the rest.'' Kurt said. '' Seriously, those bags under your eyes make you look at least ten years older.'' Kurt added. Everyone just rolled their eyes, except for Brittany who didn't quite understand.
'' There's bags under my eyes?'' Brittany said as she felt underneath her eyes.
'' No Brittany, Kurt was just saying you look tired.'' Mr Shue explained with a laugh.
'' Then why didn't he just say that?'' Brittany asked confused.
'' I did Britt, I did.'' Kurt said not understanding how the blonde got this far in her education. Everyone stayed silent for a moment, not knowing what to say to the blonde. However Puck was the first one to break the silence.
'' Did you know you were on the news Brittany?'' Puck asked. Brittany just shook her head. '' That's how we all found out, Finn saw it on the news, called me up then I called my boy Artie over here and he told Tina, who told Mike, who called Mercedes, who called Kurt, who told Rachel, who called Quinn, who told Sam.'' Puck said all in one breathe. '' At least I think that's how it went.'' Puck murmured to himself.
'' What did the news say?'' Brittany asked Puck, but instead Finn answered.
'' The news reporter said that two teen girls, you and Quinn, found the missing Latina teenager in the middle of night when no one else could. Their calling you heroes.'' Finn said with a smile, hoping that last comment would bring a smile to Brittany's face, however it didn't.
'' I just hope we found her on time, she has to be okay. She just has to be.'' Brittany whispered as small tears escaped her blue eyes. Everyone in New Directions frowned, they hated seeing Brittany so upset.
'' She will be Britt.'' Rachel said as she stood up from a chair across from Brittany and gave her a reassuring hug. The blonde automatically accepted the hug which only made her cry harder. '' You did good Brittany.'' Rachel whispered in the blondes ear as she let go. As Rachel let go she found her clothes a little wet.
'' Brittany, your soaked.'' Rachel said as she felt Brittany's cheerios top, only to feel the top wet.
'' Well, it was raining outside.'' Brittany said after a big yawn.
'' And you didn't change?'' Mercedes asked.
Brittany shook her head. '' I didn't go home, remember.''
'' Okay, I'll be right back.'' Rachel said as she stood up, put on her bright pink rain coat and walked outside of the hospital.
'' Where's she going?'' Sam asked. Everyone just shrugged, not really caring where the small brunette was going.
'' I guess she had enough.'' Artie said as he sat in his wheelchair next to Brittany.
After a couple of minutes of awkward silence everyone watched as Rachel walked back in with a bag in her hand.
'' Here Brittany.'' Rachel said, smiling, as she handed the bag to the blonde. Brittany slowly grabbed the bag from Rachel and looked inside it.
'' These are your clothes.'' Brittany said confused. '' Why are you giving them to me?'' The blonde asked.
'' I know this isn't your style of clothing and the skirt will probably be a tad too short but there dry.'' Rachel explained. '' I don't want you being wet and cold Britt.'' Rachel added.
'' Thanks Rachel, I didn't know you cared so much.'' Brittany admitted.
'' Brittany, were a family, and I always care for my family no matter who they are.'' Rachel said with a smile as she sat back in the chair she was sitting in before.
Brittany stood up with the bag in her hand and started to walk to find a bathroom.
'' Um, wheres the bathroom?'' Brittany asked her friends. This brought a smile to every one's face.
'' I'll show you.'' Tina said as she stood up and lead the blonde to the bathroom. Both girls walked away and eventually went out of eye sight.
'' Okay no offense to Brittany, but she's totally out of it.'' Finn said. '' Even more then usual.'' The tall quarterback added.
'' Give her a break guys, her and Santana were close.'' Mr Shue said. '' This must be really hard for her. Imagine if one of your closest friends went missing and got hurt.''
'' Well no offense Mr Shue but were all kinda going through this too.'' Mercedes said.
'' Yeah, even though none of us were really close to Santana, other then Brittany, shes still a part of us.'' Artie said.
'' Yeah, like Rachel said, she's apart of our family.'' Sam added. This only made a smile on Mr Shue's face.
'' I think I just thought of a new number for Nationals.'' Mr Shue said. This only made the members of New Directions roll their eyes.
'' Let's not think about Nat-'' Mike said as he stopped in the middle of his sentence, staring over where Brittany and Tina had left a couple minutes ago. When everyone noticed where Mike was staring their eyes drifted in the same direction.
'' Wow.'' Artie said, not being able to tear his eyes off of Brittany.
'' I think she might wear that style better then you Berry.'' Puck said as he checked out Brittany.
'' Hey, no one will ever wear a cat sweater and plaid skirt better then Rachel Berry.'' Rachel said crossing her arms over her chest as she watched Tina and Brittany walk back over to them. Brittany had a maroon sweater on that had a stitched cat on the front and a black plaid skirt that went a few inches above her knees to go with it. The blonde was also wearing a long pair of marron socks that went up to her knees with flat shoes on.
As Brittany and Tina approached their friends it was very hard for Tina and the rest of New Directions to keep a straight face.
'' Rachel.'' Brittany started as she sat back down. '' I look like you.'' Brittany finished. Everyone laughed.
''Well, I take that as a complement.'' Rachel laughed along with them.
'' Brittany?'' Someone said from behind Brittany. Before Brittany turned around she looked at her friends faces that could see behind her. They were all grim and were definitely not smiling anymore. As the blonde turned around and saw who it was behind her she was shocked, she didn't expect to see who she saw.
'' Ms Lopez!'' Brittany shouted as she quickly stood up and ran over to Santana's mom, giving her a big hug. Everyone in the emergency room was looking at the blonde, but she didn't care. '' I'm so sorry Ms Lopez, I found her as soon as I could.'' Brittany cried as she tightly hung on to Ms Lopez.
'' That's alright sweetie, I'm just glad you found her.'' Ms Lopez said as she rubbed the back of the crying blonde.
Once Brittany eventually let go Ms Lopez found an empty chair and pulled it over to sit next to Brittany, politely asking Artie to move. The Latina's mom held hands with Brittany as they talked, all of New Directions listening and chiming in now and then.
'' I came as fast as I could but there is a big accident a couple blocks from the hospital.'' Ms Lopez explained. '' How did you get here?'' Ms Lopez asked Brittany.
'' I drove in the ambulance with them, but once I got here they wouldn't allow me to go in the room with her.'' Brittany explained. '' And I haven't seen San or any doctor since.'' Brittany added. Ms Lopez just nodded.
'' It's alright sweetie, their just taking precautions that's all. Their taking very good care of her.'' Santana's mom explained as she put her arm that wasn't holding Brittany's hands around her shoulder. Brittany leaned her head against Ms Lopez's shoulder and yawned.
'' You must be tired.'' Ms Lopez said to Brittany. '' You should sleep.'' She added.
'' Where?'' Brittany asked.
'' Right here, I don't mind.'' Santana's mom said assuring the blonde that it was alright.
'' But I don't want to miss anything.'' Brittany said looking at Ms Lopez.
'' You wont miss anything hun, I'll wake you up as soon as the doctors tell us anything.''
'' Yeah, and we wont leave you.'' Finn said with a smile. Everyone in New Directions smiled and nodded.
'' But I'm not tired.'' Brittany yawned as her blue eyes drifted to a close and the blonde fell asleep in the matter of no time.
'' Brittany, Brittany.'' A women whispered. Brittany's eyes fluttered open as she herd her name being spoken. As her eyes cleared from a groggy sleep she realized Quinn was shaking her to wake up.
'' Quinn!'' Brittany said as she flung her arms around the other blonde. '' How long have you been here?''
'' A couple hours.'' Quinn said.
'' How long have I been here?'' Brittany asked.
Quinn laughed. '' A very long time.'' As Brittany took in what Quinn told her she looked around. Everyone in New Directions were still there but they were all sleeping, the only one that was gone was Ms Lopez.
'' Where's Ms Lopez?'' Brittany said worried.
'' She's in Santana's room.'' Quinn whispered, trying not to wake anyone up.
'' But she told me if anything happened she would wake me.'' Brittany said with a frown.
'' She was going to, but the doctor only allowed Ms Lopez to go see Santana.'' Quinn clarified as she took a seat by Brittany. '' Did you sleep well?'' Quinn asked.
'' I guess. Although all I can think about is San.'' Brittany admitted. '' I really hope she's going to be okay Quinn. She has to be.'' Brittany whispered, her eyes starting to water.
'' When I got to the scene and saw Santana on a stretcher she looked bad.'' Quinn said truthfully.
'' She was Q. She was cold, wet and injured. She wanted to go to sleep but I wouldn't let her. I didn't want her to go to sleep and never wake up.'' Brittany cried.
'' You did good B.'' Quinn assured as she took a hold of Brittany's hand.
'' So did you Quinn.'' Brittany replied. The two blondes stayed quiet, watching patients get called in and coming back out. Finally Quinn started to laugh.
'' What's so funny?'' Brittany asked, confused at why Quinn was suddenly laughing.
'' Your clothes.'' Quinn laughed. '' You look like Berry.'' Quinn added as she started to laugh even harder.
'' Rachel gave them to me since my clothes were still wet.'' Brittany admitted. '' At least I wear them better then her.'' Brittany smiled.
'' You know you could have came home with me, I could have gave you some clothes and you could have slept in my bed instead of this hard chair.'' Quinn said.
'' No, I didn't want to miss anything.'' Brittany said. '' Sorry for punching you by the way when you tried to get me off the chair. I guess I was just in the moment.'' Brittany apologized.
'' That's alright B, even though you gave me a pretty bad bruise.'' Quinn said rubbing her upper arm. '' You should really go into boxing or something.'' Quinn laughed.
'' I can't Q, you know I have motocross and Cheerios to focus on. Plus I was thinking about going into hockey.'' Brittany said in a very serious tone.
Quinn just laughed. '' Britt, you can't even skate.''
'' How do you know?'' Brittany asked.
'' Remember when San and I took you skating a couple years ago.'' Quinn said. '' You couldn't stay on your feet.'' The blonde added.
'' Quinn, that was six years ago. I've been practicing.'' Brittany said. '' Just wait and see.''
'' Um Brittany.'' A familiar voice called from across the room. Brittany looked up to see Santana's mother looking at her with a sad smile. The blonde ran over to Ms Lopez.
'' Is she alright Ms L? How is she?'' Brittany asked, very worried.
'' Shes fine Britt, she finally woke up.'' Santana's mother said.
'' You mean she was in a coma?'' Brittany said shocked. Ms Lopez lightly smiled.
'' No, she was just very tired and weak so she needed sleep.'' Ms Lopez explained. The blonde just nodded.
'' Did she say anything?'' Brittany asked.
'' Yeah she did.'' Santana's mother began. '' As soon as she woke up she wanted to see you.'' She finished.
'' So I can see her.'' Brittany said her heart beating faster.
'' Yes, the doctors are letting more then family in now, but only one at a time.'' Ms Lopez said. Brittany just stared at her.
'' So does that mean I can see her?'' The blonde asked.
'' Yes Britt, you can see her now.'' The Latina's mom said. '' She's in room 305.'' She added as Brittany walked through the white double doors leading to Santana's room.
