"She's back!" the nurse yelled.
"Come on girl, stay with us. There are people counting on you…" The doctor said looking at the pale Latina laying in front of him.
Beep… beep… beep…
I slowly drifted into consciousness by an annoying beeping sound. Is it already time for school? I turned my head to where the beeping sound was coming from and when I opened my eyes I saw a monitor with all kinds of numbers and lines that I think was my heartbeat. When I moved my hands I noticed I had something on my index finger. The fuck? I turned my head and was met with a blurry figure that looked like a person sitting in a chair. I rubbed my eyes and hissed at pain jolting thru my abdomen.
"Mija!" I looked back to my left and finally the image was clear.
"Mom? Where am I? why, how.. what happened? Where's Brittany? Is she-"
"Santana! Please stay calm I will answer everything let me first go get a doctor." With that she stood up making her way to the door and opening it causing a beam of light to shine into the dimmed room. I closed my eyes and tried to remember everything that happened.
"I promise San." I smiled and closed the gap that was between me and Brittany. But only a few seconds later I felt the most intense pain I ever felt.
"SAN!" I heard Brittany yell to me but my body didn't respond. I wanted to talk but was cut off by warm blood making its way into my mouth.
"she's in shock!" someone called. I opened my eyes and saw Mr. Schue holding me trying to steady my body that I couldn't control.
"DON'T DIE ON ME SAN!...not like this…p-please." I felt a teardrop landing on my cheek. I tried to answer her, to say everything will be okay but my mouth wouldn't move. Slowly every sound became blurry like I was under water and every image became blurry. After that I was only met with darkness, not hearing or seeing anything. Just me and my thoughts.
"Santana..?" I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone calling my name. I opened my eyes and rubbed my temples trying to ease the intense headache I had. I looked up and saw a tall men wearing a white doctors vest, he looked like he was in his 40s.
"Santana? Can you hear me?" I looked in his eyes and nodded.
"Okay good I'm Dr. White, I'm the one who did your surgery. How do you feel?"
"I'm okay but my head is killing me." He nodded and picked up a clipboard that hung on my bed, he looked from the papers to the monitors a few times and wrote a few things down.
"Seems like you are doing fine but you will be here for a little while." I nodded
"How is your abdomen?"
"It hurts, what happened?" I asked trying to put the puzzle pieces together.
"You were shot twice in you abdomen. We succeeded in removing the bullets but they did form quite some damage. You have 3 broken ribs, and when you were brought in you had an internal bleeding but we were in time to stop it. You also have a concussion that was caused by a blow to your head." I just sat there nodding at everything he said, I seemed like every answer I got carried two more questions.
"What… what happened?" I asked again.
"There was a shooting at your school a couple of days ago and like I said you were shot." A couple of day? How long have I been here?
"W-where is Britt?" I asked with tears forming in my eyes. Did she get hurt? I saw my mom looking back and forward between me and the doctor.
"Mom! Where is she?" I raised my voice causing my head to throb even more. "is… is she…?" I tried to ask but couldn't even form the words.
"Oh god Mija! No no off course not." My mom said sitting down in the chair beside taking my hand in hers. "She's fine, lo prometo."
"Then where is she?"
"She's here but with a friend of her, uhm… what's her name? Fabray I think?" Quinn? What the fuck?
"Quinn? Is she okay? What is she doing here?"
"Yeah she's okay she is here for her physiotherapy. She was shot in her leg but it went right thru her muscle tissue so she is here to regain some strength." I just sat there with an 'o' shaped mouth.
"I think it will be done in like an half an hour." She said with a soft smile. "Mija?"
"Yeah mami?"
"Te quiero, I- I almost thought I lost you…" she said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh mami I love you too. And I would never leave you." I tried to hug her but the massive pain restricted me not to.
"Try to sleep a little bit okay? I will be here when you wake up." She said and kissed my forehead. With that I closed my eyes and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
QUINN'S POV
It's almost been a week since the shooting. Santana is still fighting for her life, the doctors said she was stable but not an hour after that statement she went right back to critical. Almost everyone is been here for the last week visiting Santana or me. Yeah, here I am doing physical therapy with Britt by my side helping me. I took her with me instead of Rachel because I saw how she was falling apart seeing Santana like that. The police is still trying to put all the pieces together about what happened and are trying every day to talk to us but instead of them we were trying to forget about what happened. We were lucky enough the police made it in time to safe us.
Flashback
I shook with every shot that Rick fired.
BANG I held Brittany tighter beside me.
BANG he still stood there with a smirk on his face.
BANG After that shot I felt a jolting pain in my leg that I immediately fainted in Brittany's arm but woke up only a second after hearing another shot.
BANG
Klik… klik… klik He kept pulling the trigger aiming at us but nothing came out. After he noticed he looked at the gun and began cursing and dug his hand in his pocket fishing out bullets and tried to reload his gun.
"AAH YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDI-"
BANG every one saw how Rick and the bullets fall on the floor.
Seconds after that a whole swat team came in and started asking things but we were in too much a state to say something. When we were all safe and sound outside the school building we were all leaded to an ambulance, there wasn't a sign of Puck, Finn or Santana. I was immediately send to the hospital because I was shot in my leg luckily for me it went right thru.
"Quinn?" I looked up from the chair I was sitting in while Brittany was signing me out of my session at the physiotherapist. I saw Britt waving her hand in front of my face.
"Huh?"
"I said that Rachel just arrived so I said we will meet her upstairs." I smiled at hearing the name of my girlfriend. Yeah I said my girlfriend
After I came out my operation Rachel was there beside me holding my hand. That's when I knew I never want to lose her so I asked her to be my girlfriend. I nodded at Britt and took my crutches while standing up and making my way to the elevator with her.
The elevator made a noise and the doors slid open revealing my gorgeous girlfriend. I made my way to where she was sitting outside of Santana's room and kissed her on the lips.
"Hey baby."
"Hello to you too." She smiled sweetly but it turned into a nervous one after she saw Brittany making her way towards the door of Santana's room.
"Uh…Britt can I talk to you I need to tell something?" brittany Raised her eyebrows questioningly.
"Yeah what is it?" she asked taking a step towards us.
"It's Santana." Brittany's eyes shot open at the mention of her girlfriends name.
"What wrong? What happened? Is she…?" her eyes started to water and I didn't know what was going on.
"No no her mom left a couple of minutes ago and she told me that she woke up an half an hour ago."
"S-she's awake?" she asked with a single tear rolling down her cheek.
