More reviews, yay ! Again, thank you all so much for following this story, you're all so kind ! Sorry if this update kind of sucks, I've re-written it a few times and I still don't know if it's good enough.

Disclaimer : In the last chapter I included the lyrics of Superwoman, by Alicia keys, I do not own that song. And I do not own Glee, unfortunately.


I reached my hand out and exclaimed, "Jason!" while clutching my stomach again as I lay my forehead to the ground, which seemed unusually soft for a parking lot.

What's wrong with me?

I could hear footsteps getting near me, and I soon saw some shoes just next to my head, which was painfully laying on the floor. I couldn't seen to pull it up, it felt so heavy.

"Jason?" I asked, crooking my head to the side.

"Are you alright?" he asked, with concern.

I managed to lift my head up this time, so I looked at him, and winced in pain. My head felt like it was pounding, like someone was playing the drums near my brain. What the hell just happened?

"Jason, where are we?" I questioned, looking around while narrowing my eyes. There seemed to be no one around us. Yet, the last time I remembered, I knew that Blaine and Rachel were right in this parking. Oh well, maybe they're already in the hospital...

The boy looked at me and studied my tired eyes. Then his own eyes widened, probably in shock or happiness, "Are you hurting, right now?" he asked, impatiently waiting for an answer.

Whops, I forgot to tell him that. "Uhm, yeah. Why?" I asked, with a questioning look.

Jason shook his head and then blurted out, "You remember what I told you about what's meant to happen when you're near to waking up? Do you remember how your body is meant to react? You're meant to get weaker, Quinn. And here you are, in pain. You're going to go back soon" he smiled.

I shot my eyes back to him and my mouth popped open. Is this true? Am I going back soon? "So I'm going back? I'm going to wake up?" I nearly squealed, trying to hide my joy because Jason didn't seem to be getting weaker. I really did feel sorry for him. He has a girlfriend waiting for him in the real world, plus, she's pregnant and seemed ready to give birth to the baby in possibly a few weeks time. Or course I want to wake up, but he has to, as well.

He nodded, "Seems like it. Lucky you" he said. Jason's smile disappeared in a split second.

"Hey you're going to wake up, too. Please believe that" I said, now getting up from the ground where she was previously sitting on.

"I really hope so" he just said.

I looked at my feet for a while. Random things become oh so interesting during a truly awkward moment. The reason I felt awkward, is that I was going to go back before Jason, while he arrived before me. And yet, he's the one who helped my at my arrival, and he's the one who comforted me during my break down. What if he deserves to go back first? No, that's not even a question, he does deserve to go back before me.

I sighed, "Do you want to go back in? You know, inside the hospital" I said, clutching my ribs once again.

Jason simply nodded and walked into the building before me. I followed soon after. This is going to be hard. Leaving him was going to be hard.

Once they were in the waiting room again, I was surprised to see all of my friends filling all of the chairs in there.

"Wow, this place is packed" Jason said, stunned at the sight.

The whole glee club was there, everyone except from Finn. And Rachel. But I just saw Rachel outside, where is she?

"I just hope she won't break down again" I heard Blaine tell Kurt, turning to look at him and then take his hand into his.

"You really think she won't cry right now? She's in her room, Blaine, she's bound to cry at one moment. I mean, I nearly lost it in there too" Kurt admitted.

Room. She's in my room. "Jason do you uhm... Do you mind if I just go and check how I'm doing?' I asked, shaking my head at how messed up the sentence was.

Jason let out a soft chuckle, "Sure, I'll just stay with your friends here. I remember some of them." he said.

I smiled and then left the waiting room, heading to where my body laid unconscious in a hospital bed.

When I went through the door, I instantly heard someone weeping. Here it goes again...

"Everyone is telling me... That you're going to wake up. That you'll be back soon... Please just prove to me that what they're saying is the truth. Please Quinn, I need you to wake up for me" she cried.

I started crying, hearing those words. I was crying because I knew that I would be able to come back, soon. But I was also crying because my head is pounding at one hundred kilometers per hour, and it's unsustainable. I rocked back and forth on my heels and I started feeling dizzy, so I sat down, cross legged on the floor. Right next to the petite brunette.

"Mercedes sang a song for you, in glee club, today. I wish you could have heard it because it describes you perfectly... You are Superwoman to me. You're so strong, Quinn. Be strong, just keep it up, because I need you to come back."

If it was against the law to get a headache like I'm having right this moment, I'll probably be arrested.

"She sang a song. But now it's my turn" Rachel said, taking a deep breath and then neatly placing her hands on to her knees.

I laid my head in my hands, preparing for the fact that I was going to be an emotional wreck in about... Three... Two... One...

"Heart beats fast,
Colors and promises.
How to be brave,
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone,
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

One step closer."

Wait. I just need to take the time to rewind a little, here.

I have tortured Rachel. I've made her life a living hell. Dating Finn when I knew that she was in love with him. Trying my best to get him back when she was finally with him. I had always did my best to ruin her life. Hell, I have no idea why. Maybe it was jealousy, maybe it was because of this love-hate relationship we had. Yet, she's here, next to my bed, next to my own unconscious body, singing a love song to me?

Am I dreaming?

"I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you,
For a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more."

Sure, I must be dreaming. I'm having a fabulous dream of Rachel Berry singing a love song to me. It must be the effect of having a pitching head ache, plus the fact that I'm weak right now. I'm hallucinating for sure.

"Time stands still,
Beauty in all she is.
I will be brave,
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me.
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this.

One step closer." she sang, tears rolling down her cheek at the same time.

I was left on the floor, with an expressionless face. This was true, this was real. Rachel Berry is currently singing a love song to me. And I can't even hug her, I cant even hold her. Hold her hand. It's impossible because of this stupid parallel world that's decided to be stubborn and not let me talk to the people I love !

I was even unable to move at that moment. She just continued singing...

"I have died everyday waiting for you.
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you,
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more.

And all along I believed I would find you.
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years.
I'll love you for a thousand more.

One step closer.
One step closer." she continued.

While singing that part of the song, she had somehow managed to perform something called multi-tasking. She had grabbed her bag to pull something out of it. Something which I was unable to see, even looking closely.

"I have died everyday waiting for you,
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."

I knew the song was going to finish soon, and I wouldn't get the chance to thank her for being so flawless, and singing this song perfectly.

I would have sang that song to her, because I was the one who would love her for a thousand years, if not more.

But my thoughts stopped when I saw her press something into my hand. I felt something instantly rush through be as soon as her hand touched mine. Something explosive, something like... Fireworks.

Rachel sang the last words while I stared with wide and teary eyes at my hand in hers.

"And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more" she ended, with a perfect note even though her voice was quivering.

She took her hand out of mine and I sighed happily. Then she began watching me, with those beautiful but watery eyes.

I just then remembered that she had slipped something into my hand, so I clasped my hands together trying to capture the feeling or Rachel's hand in mine, even though I wouldn't feel anything because this wasn't the 'me' that the brunette had just touched, it was the one there, on the hospital bed, in a coma. But when my hands separated from each other something fell out of them.

I looked down, on the floor, and there was a miniature golden star. An actually golden star. A Rachel Berry golden star. And it came from my hand. My hand, in this body, not the one from the bed.

My eyes shot around the room, looking around, nervously. I was just checking if someone was around, because I probably looked like the craziest person on Earth now, staring at a small golden object on the floor.

No one was there, so my eyes lowered to look at the shining star, which was getting shinier by the second. Weird, I thought.

My shaking hand reached out to touch the star, and as I pressed my finger on it, I managed to make it move, I managed to actually feel it.

I took my hand away from the tiny object. I was slightly afraid right now. I mean, who wouldn't be scared. I'm in this world between life and... Death. A world when normally you can't touch things, or move them. And yet, here I was, sitting down in the floor, taken by surprise because I was able to touch something.

I went for it again, I wanted to be sure that I wasn't hallucinating, and just imagining that I actually managed to take hold of an object which was technically from the world of the living.

But before I would touch the object again, it began glowing intensely. And before I knew it, I could see the sun rays on me, like a very bright light projector. They were coming from the window of the room. I stood up, and then I couldn't remember anything. Apart from the blank environment I was in all of a sudden.

I could only see white. White walls, white ceiling, white floor. Wait, what? White shoes, white dress...

I felt like I'm falling. Falling into a dream.

A dream.

This was probably all just a dream.

"Quinn, now it the moment. You can wake up now" I heard a voice tell me.

I had no idea who it was, but I just sighed happily, and I felt myself slowly drift to sleep.


I looked around the room. Realizing that my head was laying on a cushion. I narrowed my eyes, and tried to turn my head but instantly winced in pain. Then wincing once more because my throat felt so dry.

I tried to scan the room, without moving my head, trying not to hurt my neck even more than it was already, and I saw Rachel with her elbows on the bed, and her face in her hands.

The only view I had was the top of her head, meaning her beautiful dark brown hair.

I knew that between her two elbows, laid my hand.

So I tried moving my fingers, just slightly, because I could feel the pain surrounding my whole body.

I watched her reaction as I slowly made my hand move.

Her head shot up in a quarter of a second, and our eyes met for the first time in what seemed a thousand years.


Voila, this is the end of this chapter ! I hope you liked it.
