She ran over to the Santana and tried to stop herself from crying. The girls eyes were closed and she had a cut on her head, most likely from a branch falling. Her legs were slightly pinned under a few rocks and when Brittany rested her hand on the girls side she felt something sticky and warm. Looking down at the blood on her hand and down at the girls shirt she realised that when the girl got knocked down she had fallen on a branch that was on the ground. Her face went white as the two fathers came running up behind her. She gently stroked Santana's face, whispering her name, taking the girls hand in hers she looked at her, trying to get the tears to stay inside.

Her father and Eric picked up and moved the rocks aside and before her father ran back to call the ambulance knowing that asking his daughter to do so would only cause an argument. She put some pressure on the small wound that was bleeding quite a lot and noticed the girls lips were going blue. She leaned down and kissed the girl softly and that's when she heard it, it was only a whisper but she heard it and it made her smile. "B."

She felt Eric tap her on the shoulder and said something as he went to lift up his daughter. As quick as they could while being careful they made their way back through the woods, Brittany leading the way so they wouldn't get lost. By the time they got back the ambulance was just getting there, and from then forward the paramedics took over.

Hospital - Few hours later

She woke up in the hospital room, still pretty out of it from the medication they had given her. As she slowly opened her eyes and let them adjust to the lighting she looked around at the worried faces that were around her. Glancing around there was a set of eyes she didn't see, her heart felt like it broke a little.

At first it was all a blur to her as she tried to talk and listen. She knew her mom was talking to her and holding her hand then her father. Time passed by but she wasn't sure how fast or slow it was going and she wasn't completely coherent as she spoke but had no idea if people we understanding what she was saying or what she was saying. Then they all left except her father who stayed the night, at least she was sure it was only him. At some point in the middle of the night she heard Quinn's voice and then Sam and Finn but they weren't able to stay for long.

Quinn stood outside her best friends hospital room in the waiting area not sure what to do with herself but not wanting to leave. She had taken Santana's cell phone off the bedside table and had been seriously wondering where Brittany had been. Wondering if she knew everything that was going on but then she remembered that she must have. Not wanting to take any chances she turned on the phone and sent a text message to the other girl that she had heard so much about.

Cottage

It was the only thing that at that moment made her feel close to the other girl. Sitting out in the middle of the lake on the boat looking up at the stars, something she knew she loved. When they first took her, she went to the hospital but she couldn't take being there and seeing the girl she loved like that. It wasn't that she was being selfish, she was trying not to be and letting people that could do something do it.

When her phone vibrated on the boat next to her it sent a small chill up her spine and made her jump. She was surprised to see that the number was Santana's but when she opened the text she found out that it was Quinn, and that she was at the hospital and Santana wasn't doing so well. After telling her that Santana is strong and will be fine she laid back down until a few minutes later when she gets the next message.

Sorry to be bugging you but I just don't know what I'd do without her.

The minute she read the message her mind stopped and she didn't know what to say. The thought of not having Santana around hurt to much to even think about, not having her around for two years was hard enough.

Me either, but she will be ok I promise you, she'll be okay

It was more trying to convince herself that Santana was going to be okay but if it helped Quinn along the way then it was worth it. Brittany spent the night on the boat, mostly talking to Quinn and Rachel when she came down to the dock but for the most part she was avoiding everyone. Normally she wasn't one for regrets but fighting with Santana and inadvertently breaking things off she did regret. She was a lot more worried than she let show along with angry, upset and at the same time still hurt over the things Santana had said. Something in her told her that no matter what she needed to make things right and set her own pride aside at any cost because the thought of losing the girl and almost having lost her was to much to bare.

Hospital - Next Morning

By the time she awoke the next day it was mid afternoon and the first time she opened her eyes, all there was were machines and a few chairs. She drifted back to sleep and when she woke up a little while later she felt someone holding her hand and looking at her. Her eyes felt heavy from all the medication and were hard to open. After a bit of a struggle she opened her eyes and thought she was still dreaming.

"Morning sunshine." There was that smile, that smile she loved so much.

She didn't have a lot of strength but she tried. "Morning gorgeous." That simple statement brought a smile to Brittany's face that hadn't been there in days. They just sat there for awhile in silence before Brittany finally broke it. "How are you?"

"Bad, how are you?" That was her honest answer, she was far to tired to play games.

"Shitty, why'd you have to run off San?" It didn't come out angry just hurt and upset.

Santana closed her eyes and turned her head away from Brittany. "I was really upset and I wasn't exactly expecting an earthquake."

Brittany looked down, trying to control her emotions. "Still, you should have gone home or gone to the boat or something. Do you have any idea what you put me through last night? I honestly thought you were going to die." The blonde was trying not to tear up but it wasn't an easy task.

The other girl brought her attention back over to the blonde and held her hand tighter. "You know me better than that B."

"Not last night I didn't." There were tears in her eyes and Santana was trying really hard not to let them out but she didn't have the strength to hold them back like she normally would have. The sight in front of her broke Brittany's heart, she hated it when Santana cried, something about it had always gotten to her. "What is it? Still mad at me about yesterday?"

"Kind of, don't exactly like being dumped." She looked away.

The blonde looked down. "I know and I'm sorry if it makes you feel better I feel horrible and I was a complete bitch to everyone."

"Don't take this the wrong way but that doesn't really help right now." Brittany nodded in understanding. "I can go if you want me too."

Santana held her hand tighter. "No you can stay. It's just…it's just…"

"What is it you can say it."

"It's just I miss you and I get to lay here and think about it."

She made the other girl look at her. "Hey, I know I miss you too, but I'm right here San." Looking at the bed Santana was laying on she got an idea to change the mood a little bit. Lifting the covers a bit, she tried to look and see what was under them before Santana patted them back down.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Brittany grinned. "Checking to see how half naked you are."

"Why would you want to do that?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"It's fun and it occupies me when you're all laying there wounded and brooding."

Finally Santana let a small smile creep out. "I have a gown on you perv, one track minded I tell you."

"That's pretty hot, those gowns get me every time."

"I make it work." Santana smiled, even though it hurt a little.

In turn Brittany smiled. "I'm sure you do since you make everything work."

"Guess it comes natural, my moms genes and all." Reaching her arm up she ran it through the blondes hair. "What are you thinking about?"

"You and the fact that I was so scared I was going to lose you. I'm going to kick your ass if you ever do this to me again."

Santana looked straight ahead and focused on the wall for a couple minutes as Brittany sat there looking down, still holding Santana's hands. "I don't exactly like this either, I mean hello laying in a hospital bed, not the kind of party I like."

"Do I get to kiss you?"

"If you want too." Leaning over she kissed the hurt girl softly being careful not to hurt her anymore than she already was.

"Not that I'm complaining but you don't have to stay I'm sure you have a life to carry on with, people around that want your attention."

She held onto her hand tighter and looked her dead in the eye. "I'm right where I want to be."

"What is it?" Santana asked as Brittany looked up at the ceiling and thought for a second.

"Quinn let it slip that you got me something, and I thought it was really cute, is that him?" Brittany asked referring to the green monkey laying next to Santana under her arm."

The 'she's dead look' crossed Santana's face but was soon replaced with a look of sadness. "Oh yeah, he's yours." Santana picked him up and handed him to Brittany. "He was to make you smile a little something to hang onto when I'm not around."

"I know what else he was for too, you don't have to give him to me. He looks pretty comfy sleeping right there with you."

"No he's yours regardless, if you still want him."

"I would have to be your girlfriend for him to be for our one month anniversary."

Santana looked away. "That's your choice but he's still yours no matter what."

"What sucks though is that I have no idea what to get my girlfriend." Not wanting to get her hopes up only to have them crushed she tried to play it cool when she looked back at the girl of her dreams.

"Wow Miss. Pierce you move fast, new girl already." Brittany smiled knowing Santana was just messing around.

"Nope never left the one that's been right in front of me all along."
