One year later
Quinn groaned at the sound of her alarm clock going off. She rolled over to shut it off then moved back to her previous position.
"Morning," a groggy voice said. The blonde opened one eye and glanced at the person next to her. Brown hair was scattered around the pillow and too much tan skin was exposed.
"What the hell are you doing in my bed, San?"
"Britt kept kicking me."
"Sorry," Brittany yawned as she sat up on the floor. She leaned down to kiss Santana before padding into Quinn's bathroom.
"So, why didn't Rachel spend the night?"
The four girls had spent the night before making cupcakes and watching scary movies. Rachel left around midnight.
"Her dads wanted her at home for pictures this morning. I guess some of her family is flying in from California."
Today was graduation. Quinn couldn't believe the day was actually here. But what she couldn't believe more was that her and Rachel had lasted just over a year. As of today, it would be one year, two months, and six days.
"They couldn't wait until after she got the diploma to take pictures?"
Something new that happened in the past year was that Santana formed a friendship with the other brunette. The two became very close and the Latina finally stopped calling Rachel names. Even when the shorter girl annoyed her, Santana still called her Rachel or Rach.
"We're moving to New York tomorrow. They want to be with her as much as possible."
Oh yeah, there's that. Quinn had been accepted to NYU (as did Santana and Brittany) and Rachel had been accepted to Julliard. They had found a cheap two bedroom apartment that was in between the two schools. All four girls would be living under the same roof.
"Well, I wish she would've spent the night. That way I wouldn't have been spooned by you."
"You were the one who decided to sleep in my bed!"
Quinn's phone buzzed on her desk. She pushed the covers off of her and made her way over to get it. A picture of Rachel was displayed on the screen and the blonde smiled. She clicked "view now" and read the text message. One year, two months, and six days! See you at the school, sweetheart. Love you! xo
"Let me guess. Rachel told you how many days you've been together, said she'll see you later with a pet name at the end, said she loves you, and then did the whole hugs and kisses thing."
"Yep."
"It's the same everyday."
Quinn just shrugged and texted the diva back. And counting! Yes, you will. Love you, too. xx
"You said 'and counting', you will, and that you love her, too, followed by two x's."
"You know us too well."
--------------------------------
"Rachel Barbra Berry."
Quinn clapped along with the crowd as her girlfriend recieved her diploma. Rachel looked out into the mass of people and locked eyes with the blonde. They stayed like that until the next person's name was called. The smaller girl took her seat in the front row, Quinn right behind her.
"Congrats, baby," Quinn whispered as she leaned forward. Rachel gave her a sweet smile.
"Quinn Celeste Fabray."
The former Cheerio walked up to the stage, took her diploma, and shook a few people's hands. When she sat back down, Rachel turned around.
"Congrats, sweetheart."
The rest of their class got their diplomas and everyone threw their hats in the air. Quinn grabbed Rachel's hand and they jumped up and down. Mercedes appeared next to them.
"Mr. Shue wants us to meet in the choir room in fifteen minutes."
They nodded and went to find their parents. Quinn's mom was chatting with Rachel's parents outisde of the school.
"Quinnie," Judy screamed when she saw the two girls, "I'm so proud of you. And you, too, Rachel."
"Thank you, Judy," Rachel replied with a wide smile.
"Come here, baby girl," James said while opening his arms. The small girl fell into them and hugged him.
"You two are so emotional," Jack joked.
"Shut up," James spat, "You were the one who cried over a Doritos commercial."
Quinn chuckled at the memory. She had been watching TV with the Berry's when the commercial came on. Jack suddenly bursted into tears and had to leave the room. It was quite funny.
"Whatever."
"We have to be quick with pictures. Glee club has a meeting in fifteen minutes," Rachel said after pulling away from James.
The two girls posed for several pictures with different family members (of both families) and friends. The brunette said goodbye to her family before they rushed to the choir room.
------------------------------
Before anything had been said, everyone was crying. Even Puck, who swore he would never cry when this moment came. They had been a club since sophomore year. They had won Sectionals three times, Regionals twice, and Nationals twice. They had been through so much together and now it was time to say goodbye. Mr. Shuester sniffled before speaking.
"You guys have become a family. No matter how different you were, you stuck together and supported each other. I'm proud of every single one of you."
Rachel raised her hand, something she never stopped doing. As the saying goes, some things never change.
"Yes, Rachel?"
"As the head captain, I would like to say a few words."
"A few hundred," Santana mumbled and Quinn jabbed her in the side. Again, some things never change.
"Go ahead."
The smaller girl let go of Quinn's hand and stood in front of everyone.
"When this club started, there was only five of us. But the number grew to thirteen. Each of us have had our own struggles and we've always been there for each other. Even though I wasn't the most liked person here, you guys still supported me. I'm so glad I was able to be friends with all of you. I'll never forget you, especially when I'm on Broadway. You are all welcome to come to a show for free. You can even have front row seats. It's sad that we will all be in different locations for college, but we have the internet. I hope I can stay in touch with you all."
After flashing her infamous Rachel Berry smile, she sat back down next to Quinn, instantly lacing their fingers together. More tears were shed from everybody and a comfortable silence fell over them.
"Can we sing 'Don't Stop Believin'," Finn asked, breaking the silence, "I mean, it's the first song we sang. We should end with it."
Artie and Puck picked up a couple guitars, Finn sat behind the drums, and everyone else stood in a long line. They all wrapped an arm around each other's waists. As they sang, the line swayed slightly. Even more tears fell as they said their final goodbyes.
Quinn hugged Sam and Puck, saying they will always be her favorite guys. She got smashed between Kurt and Mercedes, both of them telling her not to lose touch. Tina and Mike gave her a quick hug, Artie high-fived her, Lauren patted her on the shoulder, and Finn picked her up off the ground. She saved Mr. Shuester for last. He gave her a huge bear hug and a good luck. A big group hug was ordered by Rachel and then they started leaving.
"I can't believe it's over," Rachel said as she began to cry harder than before. Quinn pulled her close and stroked her hair.
"It's okay, Rach. We'll see them at reunions."
"Mercedes and Kurt are forcing me to visit them in California sometime next year."
"I still don't know why those two aren't going to New York."
Rachel laughed softly before replying, "They said there would be too many Gleeks in New York."
"I think four is too many. We're going to tear that place apart."
"That's a good thing, right?"
"Yes," Quinn said then kisses Rachel, "It's a very good thing."
-------------------
The four girls carried their boxes and bags into the apartment. It was very spacious for being only 350 dollars a month. The two bedrooms came with their own bathrooms and walk-in closets. There was a third bathroom next to the living room. The kitchen was quite large and had an island placed in the middle of it.
"We got a pretty good deal," Santana said while walking out of her and Brittany's bedroom.
"It doesn't come with any furniture. That's why it's so cheap," Rachel replied as she looked out the window in the living room.
"Can we get a kitty, San," Brittany asked.
"Sure, B."
Quinn chuckled at her two best friends. Her good mood was killed when she saw Rachel's sad face.
"Rach," the taller girl said and put a hand on her girlfriend's lower back, "what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Baby-"
"I'm fine, sweetheart. Really."
The blonde chewed her lip for a few seconds before kissing Rachel's shoulder.
"You want to be here, right?"
Rachel turned around and smiled.
"Of course, Quinn. It was my idea for all of us to live here. Why wouldn't I want to be here?"
"I don't know. You seem sad."
"That's just because I have to sleep on the floor for a couple weeks."
Quinn grinned and kissed the shorter girl.
"Hey, knock that shit off," Santana yelled, "we have to go furniture shopping."
"San, we don't have enough money to get-"
"Shut up, Q. My dad's a doctor. He gave me his credit card and said I can get whatever I want. We need a couch and some chairs. Now get your asses moving."
"But-"
"No buts, Rachel. Move."
The two girls grumbled while Brittany told the Latina how hot it was when she bossed people around.
"I think you should have thought this whole living with San and Britt thing through more, Rach."
"I know. It sounded like such a good idea at the time."
"You two should be happy to be living with me," Santana cut in, "Remember who got you together?"
"Oh my God, shut up about that already! You use that all the time."
The brunette smirked and shook her head. Quinn knew she would never drop it. But it's not like she would ever forget who helped her get Rachel Berry.
"Not a chance."
"Remeber who got you and B together," Rachel said.
"How could I forget?"
Quinn smiled widely at her little family. They would definitely fight in the future but nothing too serious. They would stay up all night watching movies and talking. It would be heaven and hell. And she really didn't mind as long as she had Rachel. For Quinn, the next four years were going to be amazing. She was positive that the other three girls felt the same.
