peviously on Be Still My Beating Heart...

"HELP, HELP, CAN ANYONE HEAR US? PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY HELP!" i shouted frantically, splashing my arms around in the water. but then a flicker of hope in the far distance. a boat!

"HELP! HEY YOU OVER THERE, HELP PLEASE, SHES HURT! PLEASE HELP HER!" i shouted, waving my arms and jumping waist deep in the water. the boat must have spotted me, and the little white dot moved closer ever so slowly. thank goodness.

i looked back at Brittany who was still laying down like a porcelain doll, but i could see her chest move up and down ever so slowly and it gave me hope. when the boat got to about shouting distance i could see it was one of mr schuester's boats. but who was it?

"HELP!" i screamed out again
"SANTANA?" a female voice shouted out from the far distance
"YEAH COME QUICK! WHO IS IT?" i shouted back
"ITS QUINN!" she shouted back "HOW BADLY IS SHE HURT?"
"I DON'T KNOW" i shouted back
"OKAY DONT PANIC SANTANA, I'M COMING. RACH IS GETTING HELP!" she called.

i saw quinn jump off the boat and start swimming to the cove. i waded back through the water as fast as i could, and when i reached knee deep i ran to britt. i began chest compressions again, and again, and again, until quinn reached land. she ran at top speed and skidded down on the other side of brittany.

"oh. my. god." she said, staring at brittany's blank face "what happened santana?"

"let me just- wake her- up" i said, continuing chest compressions. quinn took over the compressions, and i stood at the back of her head and breathed air into her lungs.

but then. the miracle happened...

(To be continued...)

*SPELL CHECK IS NOT ON AND I HAVE DYSLEXIA SORRY*

Santana Lopierce, point of view

"santana..." quinn said breathlessly "shes not waking up"

"no she has to!" i persisted, continuing breathing life into brittanys cold body.

"santana..." quinn said softly, lifting her hands away from brittanys drenched chest. "how long has she been unconcious?"

"i dont know about 45 minutes" i replied breathlessley

"santana..."

i knew what she was about to say. she was about tell me that it was too late. i refused to give up and went to begin cpr again, when a miricle happened...

quinn was kneeling by brittanys chest with her head in her hands and crying. i had tears streeming down my cheeks but i refused to give up. when i wiped the tears from clogging up my eyes, the best thing happened.

a muffled cough made quinn and i shoot our heads up to look at each other.

"was that you?" we both shot, pointing our fingers at each other "no it wasnt me!" we shot back in unison. we looking to brittany, back to each other ad quickly ran into action. quinn pumping her chest vigirously, and me breathing once more into her frail stature. i pulled up and it happened.

water was coughed up by the gallon from her little mouth as brittanys eyes flickered.

"BRITTANY!!" i called in releif.

her glittering blue eyes flickered open as she struggled to empty the rest of the water she had inhaled from her lungs.

"brittany are you okay? do you need anything?" quinn asked helping her to sit up

"its okay honey, just breathe. thats it sweetie your okay, were here and everything is okay" i reassured her, whilst stroking her back in ecncoragment.

after she had coughed up all the water and wiped her lips with the back of her hand, she finally managed to catch her breath and speak

"santana?" she mumbled looking at me with her sickly looking face "Quinn?"

"were right here brittany" i said leaning her onto my chest and rocked her like a baby

"your safe now honey, and help is on its way so hang tight" Quinn reassured her

"santana, what even happened? how did you end up all the way back here?" Quinn asked.

i cuddled brittany tightly as she dozed back off to sleep, obviously exhausted from her accident

"we were going to turn back i swear! brittany was having really bad tics and was near the edge of the boat when it happened. im not even sure what it was..." i thought

"what what was?" quinn asked, cuddling up to us trying to keep warm as we were all soaking wet

"this huge creature flung our boat into the air and it was completley wrecked in the process. i was thrown underwater after brittany, but she screamed and inhaled a shit ton of water. i spotted her floating above the water and thats when i swam her all the way over here as it was nearest" i explained

"santana, your a hero" Quinn smiled "are either of you hurt, apart from brittanys obvious state" we both looked down at brittany alseep in my arms. she was shivering in the cold, as her illness meant that she wasnt able to regulate her body tempreature as Quinn and I could. i hugged her tighter and looked at Quinn for help who stood up.

"help is on the way santana. we will get her medical attention i promise. it looks to me like hypothermia so we need to warm her up and fast" she said looking around for something warm. "we could use this!" she said, picking up an old rag that mjust have washed up years ago. we were stranded, but we made the best of it. quinn wrapped brittanys shoulders in the old checkered rag and layed her back down in my lap. she was such a small little thing.

"hey look! santana!" Quinn shouted, pointing into the distance

i picked brittany up off my lap 'princess style' and walked over to where quinn was stood, brittany still asleep and shivereing (now more violently) in my arms. i held her close, trying to warm her up.

"can you see santana!" Quinn said exitedly, turniing to brittany to stroke her cheek and then look back out to sea to point out what she had spotted to me again

and sure enough, i could see it...
