Be Still My Beating Heart ♡

Hold On My Darling

"come on girls" Emma laughed "everyone has already teamed up and gone!"

we laughed, and i pulled brittany up into the boat

"right let me see" will said taking out his clipboard "rach and quinn went together, mercedes went with finn, artie and kitty are together, mike and Tina obviously, and there goes santana and Brit" he ticked off as we sailed across the blue cerulean lake, into the distance, and out of sight.

"this is so perfect" i sighed as i spread out on our little motorboat, the sun shining on my browned legs.

brittany tiptoed carefully from where she was with her legs dangling over the edge of the boat, and sat next to me. i had literally married the most perfect girl in the world. she was my angel, my princess, my whole entire world, and i knew that i was hers. besides her cute personality traits, like when she twiddled the ends of her hair when she was anxious or when she sticks her tounge out slightly when she smiles sometimes, she was physically flawless too. her thick, long, blonde hair was blowing behind her shoulders in the strong breeze and the sun was shining on her silky white skin. although she often says otherwise, she was the best. she just cant seem to look past her imperfections. i however embrace them. when she taps her fingers together, involentery tics, or when she all of a sudden gets super overly emotional or frustrated becuse of her autism, i will be thankful for making her who she is. the beautiful, smart, brave, special, delicate girl i fell in love with. i acknowledge that she does need extra support with her autism, but im really good at that so she doesn't have to worry about that.

"i know!" she exclaimed " its such a beautiful day to be out together"

we were miles and miles away from anyone else now, and couldn't even slightly see any of them. we were sailing into the deeper waters now. looking around above my head, i couldn't see any signs of anyone setting up anything here. we were still floating aimlessly around the vast lake, far away from any dry land.

"hey britt-britt, i think we should try and turn back" i said calmly, as not to make her anxious, or set her tics off on a rampage.

"i think thats a good idea santana, im getting a little twitchy" she replied, walking back over to the top end of out little boat

i could see her neck jolting and her involuntary whistling was increasing more and more as we got further and further away.

she was stood by the edge of the boat looking into the distance as i sat down to steer us away.

"hey brit, be careful. i don't want your tics to jolt you into the water" i advised, but before she could answer, the unthinkable happened.

i called out to brittany to perhaps sit down as her tics were playing up, when i felt the bottom of the boat rumble

it might as well have been in slow motion, so thats how i will relay it to you.

something, im not sure quite what huge creature at this point in the story it was, but something huge beneath us rose up beneath our boat, throwing it up violently, rolling it over in the air, before finally plummeting back into the water with the most enormous splash, and the monster disappearing as quickly as it came. all of this happened in all of 5 seconds

hold up. we need to back up. now you know what happened, ill finish my story.

brittny was stood over the edge of the boat when it was tossed into the air. i was sat in the back seat so she was chucked straight in like meat on a barbeque, her mouth wide open in fear. i however managed to grab onto the side of the boat until it was eventually thrown back into the depths of the lake. the water was freezing like i had been thrown into an ice bath, but i had to get my head pout of water and meet brittany. i fought my way to the surface, past underwater foliage lurking menacingly in the deep, dark depths below, but my jumper had gathered too much water and was weighing me down. i continued my relentless battle to the surface. after what felt like hours of holding my breath and fighting for my life, my head submerged from beneath the dark water. i had to let my eyes adjust and my breathing to regualate before i spoke.
