Brittany saves Kendrick when she was in danger and Kendrick falls in love with her hero

They were all leaving the bar after celebrating Rebel's new clothing line. It was kind of a 'Bella's Reunion' if you will - and Brittany, Anna and Hailee were walking out the door arm in arm with one another. Laughing over dramatically at something Rebel had yelled at them on their way out and on top of being tipsy, Anna didn't see the bike messenger headed their way. Still laughing and paying no attention to her surroundings, she slipped out of Hailee's arm and continued to walk into the street and across the bike lane only to be struck straight on by a biker.

The last thing she remembers is flashing lights and sounds of sirens, Hailee screaming and Brittany crying hovering over her. Somewhere along the lines someone performed CPR, she's still yet to figure that part out. She tried to breathe in but she felt a sharp pain under her ribs. She slowly and cautiously opened her eyes to Brittany still hovering over her, eyes fresh with tears and panic struck across her face. "No no no! Don't move her! Keep her still, we don't want to do any more damage than what's already done." she assumed a paramedic. "Anna, you were in an accident," Brittany choked out between sobs, "but you're okay, you're gonna be okay. I promise." and then Brittany stood up. Anna laid there motionless still trying to grasp the reality that was quickly setting in.

She was in an accident? What kind of accident? Was anyone else hurt? Who saved her? Who helped her? Why the hell is Hailee still screaming? She just laid still staring upward trying her best not to move and blinked in shock. She hadn't felt much pain other than her ribs and her head and something was definitely wrong with her hip. Brittany crouched down next to her reaching toward Anna's head and hesitantly pushed her hair out of her eyes. Her tears were drying up, but they were still there. She'd never seen Brittany this upset, ever. Paramedics were rushing around her, yelling some medical mumbo jumbo about God knows what, and someone was trying (emphasis on trying) to calm Hailee down. She heard one of them talking to Brittany.

Man's Voice: "Ma'am, we're going to need you to answer a few questions for us."

Brittany: "Yes, yes okay. Whatever you need."

and then the voices were gone, everything was silent except for the ringing in her ears. She reached up to her head, it was pounding, but at that point all she could focus on was the pain in her ribs and the lack of oxygen in her lungs. Breathing was rather difficult, but she could manage while she needed to. The voices were slowing fading back in but she couldn't make out as much as she'd like,

Man's Voice: "She was knocked unconscious, correct?"

Brittany: "Yes, for about five minutes. I didn't know how long it would take for you guys to get here with traffic and all so I just did the CPR myself. She reacted quickly to that but I didn't want to make things worse or do anything that would hurt her even more so I just sat with her until you guys came."

what. Brittany SAVED me? The voices were coming back and getting closer to her before she even had time to finish wrapping her head around what she just heard.

"Alright, Anna, we're going to lift you up now. Try not to move - it will hurt a little, but you won't feel any more pain in a few minutes." She dubbed this man's voice paramedic number two. From what she could make out of her surroundings there were three of them and a police officer. They lifted her on the the gurney and into an ambulance. Where's Snow? I need Snow. They were getting ready to shut the ambulance doors when Anna lifted her hand as if to motion them to stop, to wait. "Sn- s… Snow." was all she could make out. Her voice was raspy, soft. "Snow?" Paramedic number three wasn't the smartest. "Snow? That's me! That's me." She could hear Brittany getting closer until she finally saw her climb into the back of the ambulance and sit next to her. "Hey, hey. No shh don't talk, I'm here." All Anna could do in response was grab her hand.

She spent the next three days in the hospital after undergoing two surgeries on her ribs and hip. Three screws placed in her hip that had shattered and major bruising to her ribs was the verdict. She would be okay but she would have to take it easy for a while. Brittany was a frequent visitor, it actually felt like she never left the hospital. Bringing in flowers and gifts and things from everyone and anyone. She hadn't spoken much, it still hurt to breathe. Brittany on the other hand would not shut up. Between asking her how she was feeling (to which Anna would only reply with a thumbs up or thumbs down depending) and who sends there thoughts and prayers or whatever.

Day four had hit. Anna started keeping a mental note every time Brittany had come and gone in the past 96 hours. She slept on the chair next to Anna's hospital bed the first two nights after her surgeries just to be safe. After eating what felt like her twelve hundredth cup of green jello, she decided it was time to bring up the elephant in the room. Not so much an elephant to maybe everyone else, but to her the elephant was pretty damn prominent. Post refusing another cup of jello, she asked the nurses to leave the room leaving only her and Brittany, who was sitting on the end of her bed. "Everything ok?" Brittany looked worried, she'd looked worried a lot lately. Like she was walking on eggshells and like something could happen any minute, or maybe she just (hopefully) knew what Anna was thinking. Anna just nodded before hesitating to open her mouth to speak. She scratched the back of her head before gently opening her mouth. Her voice was scratchy and soft, but she still sounded like Anna.

"I- I need to ask you, er- tell you something."

Brittany's eyes were wide, Anna hadn't said a full sentence in days and now all of the sudden she's good to go? She'd question it later.

"What's up? You feeling okay? Do you need another pillo-"

"No. I'm fine. Pillow's fine. I just, uh." She let out a deep breath. "I don't really know how to say what I'm about to say so I'm just gonna say it." she scoot herself farther up to sit up straighter and Brittany just sat still at the end of the bed. "Were you the one that did CPR?" Brittany smiled lightly at her hands that were in her lap before looking up. "Yeah. I didn't even know I remembered how to do it. But you weren't breathing and I- I couldn't just sit there and watch you like that, so I just, I just did it." Anna just nodded, borderline teary eyed, she sniffled. "Um, well. Ha, thanks?"

"You don't have to thank me, Kendrick."

"No but you see, I do. You saved my life. And I can't just like sit here and let you take care of me when you have so many other things you need to be doing like work and having a life and shit. I was drunk and I wasn't paying attention, I deserved it."

Brittany slid up the bed close enough to Anna to put one of her hands in both of hers.

"Anna. You far from deserve anything like this. Ever. I did what I had to do. Just because you were drunk doesn't mean anything."

"No, but it's the point." she wiped a tear from falling in the corner of her eye.

"What's the point? Cause at right now I'm just really fucking happy you're still here." Anna threw her a half smile, without initiating eye contact. "Kendrick, seriously, what's goin' on?" she said and she wiped away the tear that was rolling down Anna's cheek.

"Nothing. It's stupid. I'm fine."

"Anna. You are not fine. Seriously, just talk to me. Please?" Brittany asked as she grabbed Anna's chin and forced her to meet her gaze.

"Do you love me?"

"Of course I do."

"No like, do you love me?"

"Anna, I uh-"

"You know what, forget it. I don't know what I'm talking about. It's the meds. You should go."

"Would you just listen to me?"

"No, I can't. Because I love you, like really love you. And you saved my life and I can't even ever repay you for that and I'll never be able to be with you because you don't like me, like that." tears were happening beyond belief. "And it's stupid of me ya know? To even ever think that you would. God, i'm so fucking stupid." Her voice was cracking, and Brittany had yet to say a single word. All she was doing was sitting there, Anna's hand still in hers. She knew what she had to say, and when and how she had to say it. "Anna, I didn't mean it like that. You just didn't let me finish, per usual."

Without pulling her glare from the window, "Fine. Finish." along with another sniffle.

"I meant, I have for a whlie, loved you."

Anna's head snapped back toward Brittany.

"You what?"
