Faking It (Emison)

Chapter 30

Alison POV

"Santana."

I walk over to her and she stops pacing, walking into my embrace. She sobs into my shoulder and I close my eyes, "it's okay. Brittany's strong."

"There was so much blood Alison. What if she doesn't come out of there? She was bleeding out for at least an hour."

I bite my lip and Emily comes over, "Brittany's so strong Santana. She'll pull through." Santana just keeps crying until we hear, "Brittany Pierce?"

"That's my girlfriend. Is she okay? Please tell me she's okay."

I grab Emily's hand nervously and she rubs my back soothingly. "She lost a lot of blood and her blood type is rare. She'll need a donor."

Santana looks down and nods, "use me."

"Santana are you sure?" I say and she nods, "if my blood is a match you can take however much you need to keep her alive. As long as Brittany is safe and okay."

The doctor nods, taking Santana away and I sigh, turning to Emily. "God I can't even bare to imagine what Santana feels like right now." I walk into her arms and she rubs my back, "you won't have to ever feel like that."

"I better not," I say and we both start laughing.

"Let's sit. Everyone else is on their way." 

She leads me to a chair and I sit on her lap, cuddling into her body. Her heart beats against me and I feel suddenly so close to her. I feel like I could do anything and Emily would still be right next to me, sharing every moment of my life with me. Everyone walks in, greets us and we are all waiting for news.

People say that when you love someone, you give your heart to them. The thing is, with Emily and I, she is my heart. I didn't give it to her. She's had it all along. She helped me find it. Today really made me open my eyes. Life can be so damn short. You never know what could happen. And if I die, I want to die as Emily Fields' wife.

"Yes," I whisper and she frowns, "what?"

I pick my head up and smile at her gorgeous face, "yes I will marry you."

Emily stares at me, surprised, "really? You're sure about this?"

"Only if you are," I shrug and she grins, "absolutely." "So that's it...we're getting married?" Emily nods, clamping her hand in mine, "we're getting married."

We look up when a doctor walks over and Emily helps me stand up as she explains that Santana was a perfect match and that they'd both be fine. Quinn made the doctor show us to them and I go over to Santana, hugging her instantly, "how are you feeling?"

She hugs me back and nods, "once Brittany wakes up I'll be fine." 

I look at the bed and Brittany is lying there, her leg wrapped where the bullet was. "I'm so sorry this happened to you guys."

"Me too. God it should've been me. I am such a bitch. I deserve a bullet in me but Brittany? What did she ever do to deserve something so horrible?"

I look at Emily who is playing with the wires so I slap her, giving her a glare which makes her stop playing around instantly.

"Santana don't say that. You don't deserve to be shot. Neither did Brittany. It sucks but it happened. Now you two can grow from that together and be stronger than ever." Santana sobs as she grips onto my hand and I smile gently at her.

"Santana," a weak whisper says and we shoot our eyes up to the bed where Brittany is moving slightly. Santana leaps from the seat and goes to Britt's side. "I'm right here Brittany. You're okay baby. I'm right here."

She looks around, "is this real life?"

We all laugh and I lean into Emily who mumbles, "I love you."

I smile and nod, kissing her hands when I pull them up to my lips, "I love you too."

Quinn POV

"God I'm so glad she's okay," Rachel says as we walk around the hospital. I nod, "poor Santana. If you were hurt like Brittany was I don't think I'd be able to make it."

She grins up at me, "when are we going to tell everyone about us?"

"Soon. We just need to get through this and the next few weeks..."

She sighs, "okay. Are you ashamed of me? Do you not want to be seen with me?" I shake my head, "no Rachel. I like you. I really do. I want to be seen with you in the halls and at school but...it's just...not the right time. People are still dealing with the shooting that happened just an hour ago. Just give me time? Please."

She stares at me and hangs her head down low. "I don't want to be your secret Quinn..."

"You're not. Rachel I really care about you. Please don't be like this!" I walk after her as she stomps away from me and when she stops I frown, confused. Then I realize what it is that she's staring at.

The nursery.

"Why are we here?" I say quietly and she looks at all of them. "Babies. So innocent and simple minded. They don't worry that they're unworthy of love. They don't get scared that their girlfriend is embarrassed to be seen with them. They don't feel like they're shit. That they're ugly or the biggest loser in school."

I raise my eyebrow, weirded out by her random speech but I also think it's adorable.

"I love you," I say quietly and her head snaps over to me, "y-you...you what?"

I close my eyes, "I love you, Rachel."

Her eyes are wide and she looks unsure of what to say. I shake my head, "you don't have to...say anything. Really. Admitting to you that I'm in love with you won't fix our fight but I'm just scared for people to know that I'm...gay. You know what happened to Kurt at our old school."

"I know but Quinn we're not in Lima. This school is different. The outcasts are the in-crowd here. Did you not here Emily and Alison's story? Being different is cool here."

"But our friends-" "will accept you just like they'll accept me. Just like they accepted Santana and Blaine and Kurt and Brittany!" She's smiling cutely at me and I close my eyes, "you're right. We'll walk hand in hand to school tomorrow. Agreed?"

"Agreed," she grabs my hand and goes up on her toes as I bend down to kiss her sweetly and quickly.

She pulls me back to the room and I think about what just happened.

Does Rachel love me?
