Part 8 It’s dark and cold and there’s pretty much nothing else. It’s unnerving to Brittany and she wonders if this is what death is, an eternity of nothing but empty thoughts. She thinks it’s sort of like sleeping, only your conscious with no way of waking up and so she’s sort of sad that there’s no heaven {or that she hadn’t been allowed in} and for her there would be no clouds or bunnies and flying lessons.
She’s more than aware her life had been all too short, after all twenty five year is no time at all and there are only three things that made that life worthwhile {only it’s painful to think of both Santana and racing, because in some small way they were both responsible for her fate.} So she forces herself to think of Puck, Kurt and Artie and a friendship that it literally took death to break. She’s not sure how long she’s been like this {she’s never been very good at time, and just when she was getting the hang of it she landed in this place where she’s not certain there is any sort of time} but she misses the three of them so much, and if she had some sort of body she’d probably cry. She hears them sometimes, asking her to wake up, demanding that she say something and sometimes Puck even whispers I love you {in like a totally friendly way} and for a brief second it’s light and warm, but it never lasts long.
It’s in those seconds that she allows herself to think that maybe this isn’t the afterlife, maybe this is Limbo, somewhere in between until she makes her choice, and when it gets warm she reaches for the light. She’s still trapped in this hell.
She hears Santana voice sometimes too, there are no words just a soothing stream of random sounds that give Brittany a little hope that maybe she does still care. There’s no light when Santana speaks but Brittany finds herself reaching anyway, she thinks that if Santana could make it warm and light she’d be able to go home.
