Giselle Archer, the girl who graduated McKinley, is now graduating Yale University and heading off into the world of Broadway. She finally confessed a secret engagement to her friends with this military man, Jason, who was deployed to New York City...
"Are you guys ready for a fun day?" My mom's voice echoed as she drove the car.
"Mom! Tell Lukas to give me back my toy!" I whined.
"Lukas, give back her toy!" My dad yelled.
"Lukas!" I screamed.
"No!" He argued. Then, before I knew it, the car took a slamming holt. I felt the glass shoot back towards us. It all sounded like ringing in my ears. I felt a heavy weight on my body. It was my sister who put herself in front of my brother and I. She looked to be appalled with a metal bar from the truck. I screamed loudly. My brother and I were both screaming in shock.
My eyes fluttered and I was back in fear. Sitting in the choir room. The fear on the New Direction's face during the shooting. I felt my hand shaking in fear and my heart pounded. I could here Mr. Schue's reassuring tone echo. It felt like I was on steroids. My head spun until I passed out.
Then, I saw myself lying in the woods once again—In pain. I felt my body ache. I looked down my abdomen and it was cut open. I began to pant. There were parts of the plane all surrounded me. It all began to get closer and closer until I felt claustrophobic.
"ELLE!" I felt Sebastian wake me up from a crazy dream.
"Sorry," I panted.
"You were screaming... are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.
"You can tell me anything." He reminded.
"Just a bad dream." I began to breathe slower and slower until my heart rate was back to normal. "Did I wake AJ?" I asked.
"N..." he got cut off by the sound of crying.
"I spoke too soon." I groaned. "I'll go. You got up the last time." I told him.
"I can do it, it's no big deal." He told me.
"No, I insist. You try and go back to sleep. I will go check on AJ." I hurried before he could tell me otherwise. I went downstairs into the babies nursery, and checked on AJ. She looked distressed. She needed a diaper change. I could smell it from here. I changed her diaper and buttoned her onesie up again. I picked her up and held her tight.
"It's okay..." I hushed her. "I'm here." I rubbed her back. "Can't sleep, Huh?" I looked at my daughters face. "Yeah, I feel you."
Why of all days am I being reminded about how I could have died?
I held her tightly as I sat down in the rocking chair that my dad sent to us and that we put in the nursery. I glanced at the time. It was 2:37 in the morning. I sighed as I began to rock her back to sleep.
After half an hour, I slowly and quietly crept back into the master bedroom. I just stared at the ceiling. I have survived quite a bit, and for some reason... it's all hitting me. What if I die before I could watch my child grow up?
I slowly drifted off again. Very slowly. It took a while for me to let go of this thought.
The next morning, I woke up at around 10. Sebastian was already out of bed. I slowly stretched my body and wrapped my robe around my body. I yawned as I walked down the hallway, and I could hear Sebastian's soothing voice around the house.
I smiled as I crept through the corner of the nursery, and saw him holding AJ on the rocking chair.
Can't say how the days will unfold, Can't change what the future may hold But, I want you in it Every hour, every minute
I just stood against the ledge of the door without disturbing them.
This world can race by far too fast Hard to see while it's all flying past But, it's clear now, When you're standing here now I am meant to be wherever you are next to me All I want to do Is come running home to you
The look in his eyes while looking at her... just made me smile.
Come running home to you And all my life I promise to Keep running home to you Keep running home To you
He glanced up as he walked towards me. We held our child together as we swayed back and fourth. He continued to sing.
And I could see it Right from the start Right from the start That you would be Be my light in the dark Light in the dark Oh, you gave me no other choice But to love you
He looked at me and just let out the biggest smile. He walked Avery over back to her crib and set her down. He walked back over to me and slowly began to slow dance with me.
All I want to do Is come running home to you Come running home to you And all my life I promise to Keep running home to you Keep running home Home to you
Can't say how the days will unfold Can't change what the future may hold But, I want you in it Every hour, every minute
"That was sweet. Where did you hear that song?" I grinned.
"Just a little something I was working on." He shrugged as I held him closely.
Hey guys! So I just wanted to post a little something after this chapter about Naya Rivera.
In recent days, it has been hard to believe that she went missing and hearing that she was found in the lake today was saddening.
This world has been blessed by such an incredible and talented soul. The fact that she went above and beyond for others. Watching her in glee will not the same after today.
I send prayers to her family and I hope that her son is some place safe! I send all my love to her friends and family during such a difficult time.
She will not be forgotten.
Rest In Peace, Naya Rivera 💔
