Rachel's POV
I knew I couldn't sleep, but it was so hard, I almost drifted off like ten times after everyone else had, Blaine stayed awake for about an hour but failed to stay awake. I let him sleep.
Finn, Santana, Mike, Mr Shue, Puck and Quinn had all come back just as I drifted off to sleep, I couldn't stop it but it didn't last for long. Two arms were felt wrapped around me, they were small, delicate, and soft, they weren't Finn's of course. My eyes fluttered open, the eyes staring back at me belonged to one Santana Lopez, which was surprising. She helped me stand up and we went over to the rest of the people awake. Mike was holding a blonde girl, her eyes were open now but she looked so scared, Quinn looked at Noah and Noah only though.
Santana didn't remove her arms from around me as the conversation unfolded, I was wrapped up in her embrace and it felt nice to know we weren't enemies anymore, hopefully she would for once call me Rachel instead of Manhands or dwarf. I tuned out of my thoughts and listened to what was being said.
'At least she is alive, it was a close call'
'You saved her Puck; she may not have lived if it wasn't for you'
'Can we not talk about 'What ifs' why don't we focus on what to do about the shelter, we didn't find any' Mike talked sense into everyone.
'Actually I found somewhere' Finn stated, I smiled up at him, 'it was just to the left of where Quinn had fallen, a kind of cave was there and it would be perfect'
'Let's go then' Santana blurted out.
'It's not that easy Santana, everyone is sleeping, Artie has a wheel chair, and I'm so tired' I complained, Santana's grasp tightened around me.
'Princess, we need to leave as soon as possible or someone could freeze to death, literary' Noah said to me, 'and anyway you can walk to keep yourself awake and if not I will carry you' he offered. I smiled gratefully at him and he smiled back.
'Let's wake them up then' I replied.
As we woke everyone up we sang softly to 'Don't rain on my parade'
'Noah, you will carry Quinn, Mike you will carry Britney and Rory can you push Artie's chair, he won't be able to control it himself on this ice' I instructed everyone.
Finn and Santana walked either side of me, Finn's good arm around my waist and Santana's hand on my shoulder, Finn was right there was a kind of cave and we all went inside, placing bags and people down on the warmer ground.
Everyone was given a thick blanket each and me, Mike and Britney were each given a cushion, Britney's for her foot, Mike because he banged the back of his head and I because I would have to stay awake most of the night and because I also banged my head.
'Okay guys before you sleep we need someone to wake Rachel up every few minutes, so who has had the most sleep?' Finn asked everyone. Only Blaine put his hand up.
'Okay Blaine try to keep Rachel awake and if you need any help just call on me' Finn said and Santana said 'me too'
After five minutes everyone except Blaine and me were asleep. Hopefully there wouldn't be many more nights left to be here.
A/N so this was Rachel again. Next chapter Carole and then Blaine who tells us about his night with Rachel, then I think, Burt, then Sugar and so on. Review!
