Chapter 23
Alison's P.O.V
Through the phone, we heard someone call out for Emily but we didn't recognise the voice, which isn't shocking with Emily being in Ohio; there's people there we don't know yet. When we hear a thud, we panic, looking at each other we didn't know what to do.
"Em, you there?" Hanna question.
Aria shouts "Em?"
"Emily answers us," Spencer ordered but Emily doesn't reply.
They look at me to say something, "Em, Emily? Please answer me, it's Ali," but still no answer.
Aria then said, "Call Maya," she was looking at Hanna who nodded her head knowing that was the rational thing to do.
Hanna put the phone of speaker, so we heard Maya answer "Hey Hanna, this is a surprise."
"Yeah, umm…are you with Emily?" Hanna asked trying to be calm.
Maya replied with "Your good, she's just outside on the phone to Alison."
Hanna asked, "Can anyone else hear us?"
"No, why?" Maya asked a little panicked.
Hanna explained "Well we were all talking to Emily through Ali's phone, talking about CeCe and what not. We heard someone call out for Emily before this loud thud sound."
"Oh okay, you want me to go check on her."
"Yes please," Hanna said desperate.
Maya's P.O.V
We were all having a really good time, chatting away while we waited for your food. Emily had been gone for ten minutes, talking with Alison but that normally took a while. When my phone rung, I looked expecting to see Paige but instead it was Hanna.
I answered still at the table "Hey Hanna, this is a surprise."
"Yeah, umm…are you with Emily?" By Hanna's tone of voice, I knew something wasn't right.
I replied with "Your good, she's just outside on the phone to Alison."
Hanna weirdly asked, "Can anyone hear us?"
"No, why?" I asked confused but also scared.
Hanna started to explain "Well we were all talking to Emily through Ali's phone, talking about CeCe and what not. We heard someone call out for Emily before this loud thud sound," this did not sound good I thought. Looking across the table my eyes connected with Quinn and Rachel, who knew something wasn't right the instant I looked at them. Moving to look at CeCe, she was asking through her eyes what's going on.
I say, "Oh okay, you want me to go check on her," when I said that the three ears pricked up and they looked towards the door.
"Yes please," Hanna said desperate.
Quinn asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure," I say making my way towards the door with basically everyone following. Walking out of breadsticks, I look around trying to find Emily and when I see her I feel sick. Emily was currently lying on the ground bleeding while Finn and that Tony guy stood over her, kicking her over and over. I looked at Puck, Sam and Mike, who nod their heads and go running over to the guys. The two-start running away but aren't quick enough to escape the three guys.
Hanna asked through the phone "What's going on?"
I replied with "Umm…two guys were beating on Emily."
"Oh my god, how bad?"
"I don't know Hanna," I say honestly not sure.
Hanna said "Okay, I think we are going to come to Ohio."
"Hanna."
"No Maya, don't talk me out of this. Emily was here for Aria, now it's our time for us to be there for her."
"Okay Hanna, I'll keep you update."
"Thanks Maya," Hanna said before hanging up the phone. I looked down at Emily motionless body being cradle by Quinn and Rachel. Mercedes looked to be assessing the injuries while Kurt rung the ambulance and Blaine rung the cops. Sam, Mike and Puck were currently bringing Finn and Tony back towards us, with a firm grip. When they saw, Emily was out they smiled or smirk, which Rachel and Santana saw. I watched as Rachel stood up walked over to Finn, who was almost trying to hold back a laugh.
Rachel then slapped Finn across the face and asked "Do you feel better now? Did it feel good knocking someone whose half your size unconscious? Do you feel like a big strong man?"
When Tony laughed, Santana asked "What you are laughing at fool?" Santana then punched Tony square in the nose causing it to bleed and no one was doing anything about it.
Finn reasoned "Rach, I did it for you, for us. So that we could be together, I want us to be together." Is he insane? I thought to myself and it looked to be the same thing everyone was asking themselves.
Rachel said "Finn, I'm gay. You hurting Emily, isn't going to change that. You hurting anyone, isn't going to change that. Nothing is going to change me, I am gay, Finn."
Finn asked, "But you're with her right?" he gestured towards Emily. Rachel turned to look down at Emily and Quinn, Quinn was looking up at Rachel and I saw her nod her head.
"No Finn, I'm with them."
"Them?" Finn asked confused. I watched as Brittany took over cradling Emily's body while Quinn stood up to wrap a protective arm around Rachel's waist.
Quinn said, "She's with us."
"I don't understand," Finn said.
Rachel said "When we broke up, I told you I had been in love with Quinn my entire life. I told you it was Quinn I wanted to be with, but you thought because Emily is the new gay person in town it was her making me say this. Yes, Emily made me realise a lot but I was in love with Quinn."
Quinn spoke "On Friday instead of going to the sleepover, Emily and I were at Rachel's house. I had learnt that lunch that Rachel was gay and in love with me. I was completely thrown off by it, especially since Emily knew. You see Finn, I was in love with Rachel. While we were dating, I wanted to with Rachel. I wanted to date Rachel but I feared everyone's reactions. So, I stayed with you, cheated on you with Puck, I got pregnant and lied to you. When I meet Emily, it was my new fresh start. She didn't know my past and even when I told her about Beth, about you and about Rachel; she didn't judge me. She loved me even more," I smiled to myself that's Emily.
Quinn continued with "On Friday night everything changed for Emily, Rachel and I. It was a night of learning and being truthful. That night Emily told me, she was starting to have loving feelings for Rachel. Since Emily knew where Rachel and I stood on loving feelings for each other, she knew I loved her but what she didn't know was how Rachel felt for her."
Rachel spoke "On Friday night at my house, the three of us began a three-person relationship and I haven't regret anything since. Yes, this is new and no, we weren't ready to tell people but by you we've been force to tell people. Finn, I was never yours not really. That person who dated you wasn't me, it was the scared Rachel. I'm no longer afraid Finn, who would be with Quinn and Emily arms around them," Rachel and Quinn turned away from Finn and went back to caring for Emily. I thought to myself, well Emily you'd be proud and you've done good.
Finn said in disbelief "I can't believe I was right, Emily and you are together. I was right."
Tina said, "Actually you were wrong, it's Emily, Rachel and Quinn together," I watched as Tina place a supportive hand on Quinn shoulder.
I said looking at Finn "They're going to be together for a long time, longer than you ever were with Rachel or can go in bed; so, I've heard." When Finn went to charge at me, he was pulled sharply back by Puck, I nod my thanks a Puck before going to find CeCe who had run off.
I had found CeCe just a few blocks from Breadsticks, she looked lost as she stood there with vomit next to her.
"CeCe!" I shout walking up behind her.
"I couldn't stay, looking at her motionless body."
"It's okay."
"No, it's not. I'm her big sister, I'm supposed to look after her, I failed her."
"You haven't and Emily wouldn't want you speaking like this."
CeCe said "I wasn't there when she needed me."
"None of us were but we can fix that."
"I'm scared."
"I am too CeCe."
"I can't lose her."
"And you won't. We should get to the hospital, there's no point going back. I'll text Mercedes that we are walking there."
"Okay," CeCe said letting me lead the way to the hospital.
CeCe cried "I haven't even told her, I love her."
"You will get your chance, I promise," I wrapped an arm around CeCe trying my best to comfort her but feeling like I was failing.
Alison's P.O.V
Hanna had taken the phone off of speaker, so none of us could hear the conversation but by the look on her face and the words; it wasn't good.
When Hanna hung up, Aria asked "What's going on?"
"Maya said two-guys were beating on Emily, she doesn't know how bad it is. Are you guys up for a trip to Ohio?"
"Yes," Spencer and Aria instantly said.
They looked at me and I said, "I want to go but is your Mum going to let me, she said I wasn't allowed out of the house."
Hanna said, "Let's go ask her." I had been let out of hospital a few days ago with the promise I wouldn't leave the house for two weeks and would see a counsellor.
"Mum!" Hanna called as we walked downstairs.
"In the kitchen," Ashley called back.
"Hey, you guys hungry?" Ashley asked until she saw our face and then asked, "What's wrong?"
Spencer said, "Emily's been beaten up."
Hanna added "She's completely out of it, Maya doesn't know how bad it is."
"So, I'm guessing you all want to go see her?" Ashley asked.
"Yes," we all echoed.
"What about school?"
"Our friend needs us," Aria said.
Ashley asked, "What about your counselling Alison?"
I replied with "I'll talk with Emily, she's definitely my counsellor."
"Plus, she'll have us," Spencer said wrapping her arm around me.
"I don't know, would it just be you four? I don't know how I feel about you travelling that far."
Hanna said, "Caleb's bound to want to come."
"Ezra too," Aria spoke.
Spencer added "There's also Toby and Paige."
Ashley sighed and said "If Ella gives permission, those four go as well and you promise to speak up if you feel overwhelmed then I guess I can allow you to go."
"Thanks Mum," Hanna said hugging Ashley.
"Thank-you," I say.
Aria said "Spencer and I'll go back to my house, ask my Mum who will probably say yes since Emily drove to see me. We will pack and come back here."
Hanna spoke "Okay, we will start packing as well. I can ring the four tell them what's going on."
Spencer said, "Sounds like we have a plan," I nod my head. After kissing Spencer goodbye, she left with Aria while Hanna headed upstairs, Ashley wanted to talk to me.
Ashley asked, "I know how you feel about Emily, are you sure your up to this?"
"Yes, I need to go Ashley. I can't be the only one left here and plus a change of scene might do me some good," I say.
"Okay."
"Your still unsure?" I asked.
"I'm sorry Alison but yes I am."
"I can understand, what if a doctor came with us?"
"Who?"
"Wren, he knows everything I've gone through. He has been my doctor for all three of my attempts. He loves Emily like a little sister, he'd want to know what's going on and he is a doctor who knows how to explain things so we will understand."
Ashley spoke "I guess that would make me feel better."
"Okay, I'll ring him," I say beginning to head upstairs.
"Alison!" Hanna called when I walked passed her room.
"Yeah," I say.
Hanna said "I hope you're not lying to her. Emily would understand if you didn't come."
"I'm not going to say I'm okay because that would be a lie and I know Emily would understand. But this is something I need to do, I need to be there for Spencer and Emily."
"Okay, so who are you ringing?"
"Wren, I thought it might be good for him to come as well."
"Good thinking," Hanna said before adding "Caleb is definitely coming packing a bag as we speak.
I replied with "Well Emily is his lighthouse buddy," I saw the sadness in Hanna's eyes which was understandable.
"You better start packing," Hanna said.
"I hope I'm not late," a thick English voice spoke. Toby, Paige and Ezra had all agreed to come, as had Wren when I rung him. He wanted to come for my sake but also to see Emily. Ella had taken a little to agree with Spencer and Aria going but after she knew more were going, she allowed them to go. We were currently working out the car situations, we almost had more cars than people.
Hanna said, "How about Toby drives his truck down with all of our bags and he can be accompanied by Paige?" Most of the girls all had two bags while the guys had one bag, which hopefully would all fit in the back of Toby's truck.
Paige "I'm good with that," Toby nods his head and begins loading up.
"Okay, so will take both mine and Aria's car," Hanna confirmed.
Aria said, "I can take Ezra and Wren."
Hanna said "And I take, Caleb, Spencer and Alison."
"That sounds good," I say nodding my head.
Caleb asked "Han, do you want me to drive?"
"Yes please," Hanna said.
Ezra said "Toby can be lead car, since he knows where to go."
Spencer reasoned "We should still have navigation people in the front seat."
Aria spoke "Ezra, do you mind driving and I can give you directions?"
"Sure things Aria," Ezra spoke pecking Aria upon her head.
Hanna asked "Spencer, do you think you can be our navigations?"
"Of course Hanna," Spencer said seeing that it made sense.
Ashley walked out saying "I see your almost ready to go. Here is some water bottles and boxes of snacks."
"Thanks Mum," Hanna said while Caleb, Ezra and Wren went to collect them from her.
Toby yelled "Is that everything?" We all nodded our heads, I looked to see everything had fitted perfectly into Toby's truck.
Hanna said, "I guess it's time to hit the road."
Ashley asked, "Who's driving?" Toby, Ezra and Caleb all rose their hands.
Ashley said "Okay, drive safe, do not speed or break any rules. Stay safe in Ohio, don't cause Pam any trouble and most importantly look after each other."
"We will," we all echoed knowing she needed to hear it from all of us. The nine of us got into the right cars and began driving with Ohio are one-stop destination. Please be okay Emily, I whispered to myself.
Emily's P.O.V
I feel weird, hazy. I can feel hands holding onto either hands. I try opening my eyes but that is taking a lot of effort, so I stop trying. Using my ears, I wondered if this is how Jenna felt when she woke up blind. Am I blind? I asked in my head, I can't be blind. Listening I can hear, the sound of beeping machines, the only place you hear beeping machines at is the hospital. So, I'm in the hospital. Now, how did I get here? What's the last thing I remember, talking to the girls back in Rosewood, we were talking about Quinn. I heard a voice say my name and then that's it.
I then hear someone crying and begin to say "Emily, please awake. I can't lose you, I only just got you and I can't lose you," it's Rachel. Why does Rachel think she's going to lose me? Right I'm in the hospital, I say to myself when the beeping is back.
Another voice spoke "We must stay strong Rach, for Emily," it's Quinn. I'm happy to hear they are both here, I have amazing girlfriends.
Quinn said again "She's going to pull through this and she wouldn't want us being upset."
"Your right," Rachel spoke while sniffling.
"Emily if your listening, I need for you to wake up. Rachel's not believing me, she's just saying what she thinks I want to hear. I need you to help me convince her. Oh, one last thing, I love you," I laughed in my head at Quinn's final words.
Rachel asked "Do you think she can hear us?"
"I think she can," Quinn confirmed.
"Well then, I know I've only just come into this relationship and it might be too early to say, but I have to say it. Emily, I love you. I really love you. I think I fell in love with you, the moment you walked into the office one your first day of school. But then you got with Quinn, I don't think my hearts every hurt as much as it did, when I heard that you two got together. My first and second love getting together, I didn't think I could survive. When you defended me against that bully, you were my superhero. While you were my superhero, I saw this emotional side of you, one I didn't know you had. It was only when you sung 'Mad World' that I knew this new side of you, you cried which was new. I didn't know what to think when you looked out for me, after my break up with Finn. I knew you were still with Quinn but there was still this feeling in my heart, that kept hoping. I hate seeing you get into fights but I know it's something you do, to protect the ones you love. That night you and Quinn came to my house, I had no idea what you were going to say. Three-person relationship, it was completely off what I was thinking. When you said those words, my heart skipped serval beats. As it did when Quinn said she wanted this too, my first and second love actually wanted to be with me, it was crazy. I love you Emily and I'm going to tell you when you wake up." Hearing Rachel speaking through tears, I wanted nothing more than to open my eyes but they wouldn't open; I couldn't open them and it was frustrating.
"Hey Em," I heard a new voice say. Quinn and Rachel's parents had convinced them to go home and get sleep. From what I could tell it was just my Mum in the room. This new voice belonged to CeCe, well Charles; so, I definitely hadn't imagined her coming to Ohio.
"Hi Charles," CeCe said back.
I heard a sniffle as CeCe continued "Our conversation aren't right if we don't say hello to each other first. So, with that out the way, you need to wake up. I don't know what to say to you or Quinn, or anyone. You've got a lot of people who care about you, I didn't realise until now. Everyone wants to know how Emily is going, has she woken up yet and I don't know what to tell them. This is selfish but I need you to wake up, I need you to tell me what I should say. You always know what to say, you need to teach me that trick. I know I'm the older sister and you're the younger one but mentally you are the older sister. We don't deserve someone as wise and thoughtful like you are. You are kind, considerate, heart-felt, nice, beautiful and smart. You have the biggest heart, I've ever met. You're always willing to give people a go and second chance. I don't know how you do it. I love you Emily and I need you to wake up." I felt CeCe lean forward and kiss my cheek, I want nothing more to kiss her back but I couldn't move.
"That was beautiful CeCe," I heard my Mum say. I wondered if they were okay being in the same room together, were they just putting things aside for my sake or were things okay.
"Emmy, you've got a lot of people who want to see you," Mum said squeezing my hand. I put all my focus into squeezing her hand back but nothing happened and I was disappointed.
CeCe asked "Ready to swap?"
Mum replied with "No, but we need to give other people a shot at getting through to her."
"Always stubborn our girl," CeCe said making the two laugh.
"I'll be right outside Emmy," Mum pecked my forehead before leaving the room with CeCe.
A new voice said "San, she's so little," I'd know that voice anywhere and there's only person who calls Santana, San; Brittany.
"I know Britt," I felt someone hold both my hands again telling me they were either side of this bed.
Santana spoke "Emily, I hope you can hear this because I'm only going to say this once. I've never met anyone like you before, someone who is all about the giving and not receiving anything in return. You believed in me when I didn't in myself. You've helped me so much since being here. You've managed to help me accept that being gay is okay, that it's okay to stand up for myself. I'm sorry how I treated you when you broke up with Quinn or she broke up with you, I can't remember how it happened. I just know that I was a bitch to you. You were going through your own hell and I wasn't helping much, with my demands of telling me what was going on. I was happy when you got back together with Quinn, I didn't tell you because I can't admit that stuff; it's still hard for me to do. Even though I had been a bitch, you still treated me like nothing had happened. I've never had a sister, I've always wanted one and you are like my older sister. I know I'm older than you but you're the older sister Emily, you've protect me more than I have you. If you tell anyone I said this, I'll, I probably won't do anything. But I love you Emily, you're in my heart forever and I hate you so much for it."
"That was beautiful San," I smiled in my head at Brittany's supportive words.
Santana replied with "I hope you don't think, I want to get with her."
Brittany laughed and said "Santana, you just called Emily your sister. I think we are safe in me not thinking anything else would happen there."
"Right, sorry."
"It's okay."
"Emily?" Brittany questioned.
Santana spoke "She's not going to answer Britt."
"I'd hope she answer with, yes dolphin, she always does."
"Emily is in a coma, she won't wake up until her brain has healed," Santana explained and I nod my head now understanding why I wasn't waking up.
Brittany said "I hate this, everyone crying and upset. I hate not being able to make them feel better, I'm normally so good at it. But I can't cheer people up because, I'm not happy. I'm not happy that your hurt and in hospital. Someone who is kind and sweet as you doesn't deserve bad things always happening to them, you don't deserve to be in hospital. I'm sorry this happened to you Emily. But enough about that, I'm supposed to be telling you what it is you mean to me. You mean everything to me, obviously, I'm in love with Santana and want to be with Santana. But it doesn't mean others can't be just as important than her. Everyone whoever meets me calls me stupid or dumb, not once have you ever done that. You don't talk down to me and when I need things explained to me, you do it with ease; not caring if it's the fifth time you've had do it. When you wake up and get out of here, I want to dance with you because dancing with you is fun. I always have fun with you, you make me laugh. You're like my sister too, not an older or a younger but a twin, yeah you are my twin Emily. I love you Emily," I felt Brittany kiss my forehead. This sucked hearing everyone's words but not being able to respond, I wanted to cry but once again it was something I couldn't do.
Santana asked, "Is that everything?"
"Yeah," Brittany said.
"There are more people who want to come in, so we will be back when we can Emily," Santana squeezed my hand and left the room.
"Oh, my god," I heard the voice breath out, it took a bit to pick it but it was Mercedes voice.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked concerned for his girlfriend, which made me smile.
Mercedes replied with "I just didn't expect her to be so small or pale."
"Me neither," Kurt agreed. I was surprised to hear Kurt, so far it had been two and now it was three.
Blaine said, "Hey Emily," okay so four people; that's a lot.
Kurt spoke "I can't believe his done this, I'm never going to forgive him for this."
"Not now Kurt," Mercedes hushed. I wondered who they were talking about, obviously, the person who attacked me but I don't remember seeing anyone.
Sam said "Since you've been here Emily, we haven't really hang out together; which needs to change. You need to come to a games night, I think you'd enjoy it," I tried nodding my head but I couldn't.
Sam continued with "Anyway, you knew about my relationship with Mercedes before anyone else did. I have no idea how you knew, Maya said it's just something you know and can read; but Mercedes and I were good at hiding it. You could've told people, confront us about it but you didn't do that; which was cool. While you did in the end tell people but we were ready for people to know, another thing you sensed. I wonder if you have super powers, you'd make a cool superhero."
"Sam," Mercedes said.
"What she would," Sam argued back.
Blaine added "She would. She brave, kind and wise; all the things you need to be a hero," I smiled when the two high-fived.
Kurt spoke "Ignore them. I just wanted to say, thank-you. I know you don't like being thanked for your random acts of kindness but there not random. While we haven't talked much, action speak louder than words. You've protected me for bullies more than once. You've taken two slushy attacks for me. You've done your best to look interested when I talked to you about clothes, even though it's not your thing and you even put input. We are two different people bounded by one common thing, we are both gay. We also don't hide that which has caused uproar at school but we haven't cared, it hasn't changed us. I want to say thank-you for protecting me, for being another ally, a friend, someone I can turn to when the pressures of high school get to much. You are wise beyond your years Emily Fields and we are lucky that we get to know you, call you our friend." I felt Kurt hug me, which was sweet of him to do.
Blaine said, "You are always so quick to sing to make someone feel better, so we wanted to sing something for you and hoped it helps you recover."
"This is for you Emily," Mercedes added. The sound of a guitar began to play, I knew it was Sam since the others didn't know how to play guitar.
Blaine: "Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow," I smiled instantly knowing this song and feeling blessed by these four people for singing it.
Kurt: "But if we are, we know that there's always tomorrow," I could hear a little flutter in Kurt's voice but he continue on strong.
Mercedes: "Lean on me when you're not strong, I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on."
Sam: "For it won't be long til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on."
Blaine and Mercedes: "Please swallow your pride, if I have things you need to borrow," I was surprised at how good the two sounded together.
Sam and Kurt: "For no one fill those of your needs, that you won't let show."
Kurt: "You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand."
Mercedes: "We all need somebody to lean on."
Blaine "I just might have a problem that you'll understand," I felt someone grabbed my hand but I couldn't tell who it was.
Sam: "We all need somebody to lean on," I heard the strengthen in Sam voice and it was breathtaking.
"The Group: "Lean on me when you're not strong and I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on. For it won't be long, til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on," they all sounded amazing together.
Sam: "You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand."
Kurt: "Well all need somebody to lean on."
Mercedes: "I just might have a problem that you'll understand."
Blaine: "We all need somebody to lean on."
Mercedes and Kurt: "If there is a load you have to bear, that you can't carry."
Sam and Blaine: "I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me."
The group: "Call me if you need a friend. Call me, call me, uh-huh. Call me when you need a friend. Call me if you ever need a friend. Call me, call me. Call me, call me. Call me, call me. Call me, call me. Call me if you need a friend."
Kurt: "Call me, call me."
Mercedes: "Call me, call me."
Sam: "Call me, call me."
Blaine: "Call me, call me."
The group: "Call me," as they finished off the song as strong as they started; all I could think was how beautiful it was.
Sam was the first to speak "We hope you liked that song and the performance, Emily."
"Please wake up soon," Kurt spoke.
Mercedes added "Yeah, what they said."
"We need you Emily," Blaine said before the four of them left the room.
"Hey Emily," I heard a girl's voice say and I recognised it as Tina.
"Hi Emily," Artie spoke.
Hi," Mike said.
Hey Emily," Puck said. So those four came into see me together, I wondered what they were going to say.
Tina spoke "We are sorry this happened to you."
"You didn't deserve this," Puck added.
Mika said, "When you recover, I'd be honoured if you danced with me."
"Yeah, I want to sing with you. I reckon our voice would gel nicely together," Artie said I had to agree with him.
Puck spoke "We don't really know what to say, you are a cool chick. I wished we'd hang out more, I haven't really gotten to know you yet. Quinn's been hogging you, which I get. By now, you know Quinn and I use to be a thing and that I got her pregnant. We lost the baby and I blamed Quinn for it. I shouldn't have done that, it wasn't her fault, it wasn't anyone's fault. I bring this up because I want you to know, I'm not a bad guy. I was though, I was a bully and used to pick on kids because I couldn't deal with my own issues. I couldn't deal with not having a Dad and I didn't want to face being a Lima-loser. I've changed a lot since joining glee club, but I'm still using girls for sex. I don't like doing it. So, with Mike, Tina and Artie as my witnesses I vouch, Emily if you wake up. I promise not to sleep with anyone unless I have genuine feelings for them." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, again I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't; this coma was really starting to bug me.
