Hey guys! So I've been off the writing circuit for a couple of months now because I've been in and out of hospital, but I'm all better now and I've got some time to write. I know I should be focussed on my other story "The Perfect Plan" but I've got the idea in my head for this other story that just won't go away. Hope you enjoy and please read and review (you know the drill). :)

Just A Kiss

Disclaimer: I don't own anything Glee related and that won't change anytime soon.

Author's Note: The title came from the some the song Just A Kiss by Lady Antebellum. OH and this story is most definitely AU.

Prologue

18 year old Rachel Berry took one last look toward the airport in Frankfurt, Germany as she boarded the plane en route to her home in New York City. She had just spent her entire summer in Europe, a trip she had always dreamed of taking. The trip was techniquely a high school graduation gift from her Dads, but being that she had been accepted to attend an Introduction to Broadway summer camp sponsored by Julliard, the school she was to attend in the fall, her trip had been postponed to the summer after her freshman year.

The summer had been magical, filled with memories of backpacking through various small towns, taking tours of ancient ruins, visiting museum after museum and sleeping in hostels(something her Dads hadn't encouraged, but she wanted to experience anyhow). But most of all her summer had been filled with love. The kind of love that didn't go away.

Smiling softly she thought of Finn and his sweet smile and dimples. The small town Ohio boy had warmed his way into her heart in only a matter of a few days, and he had made her feel like a Queen. He was going into his junior year at the University of Ohio in Columbus. He still had a couple weeks left before his return to the states so he had taken her to the airport to drop her off.

She hadn't even been away fom him for a half hour and she missed him already. They had said their goodbyes at the airport, neither one wanting to discuss their future, it was left wide open. Rachel really hoped their love was strong enough to last, but long distance relationships were hard, she knew the chances were slim, as much as she loved him.

Looking down into her bag she noticed a pocket left open. That was odd, she thought she remembered making sure all her pockets were zipped. Reaching down she noticed her cellphone laying there, not where she usually kept it. She pulled the phone out and noticed she had a video message. Pressing play, her smile widened as she saw him and heard his voice speaking softly and slowly, something he always did with her.

"Hey Rach! I just wanted to say...I'm really going to miss you. This summer has been amazing, I'll never forget it. I really want to try and make us work, and I hope you feel the same. I think we could be apart of something special. I promise I will try and make it to New York for Christmas and you can come down to Ohio for Thanksgiving. I love you, Babe! Talk to you soon, and have a great flight."

Tracing his face on the small screen and wiping her eyes with her other hand, Rachel played it again before putting it back in the right pocket. It was amazing how just the sound of his voice could brighten her day. She noticed the seatbelt sign came on and the plane starting to take off. Laying her head against the window, she allowed herself to drift off into a peaceful slumber, thoughts and memories of Finn taking over her subconscious. They were memories of a summer she would never forget as long as she lived...

Ok so I know it seems the story is complete, but I promise I am going somewhere with this.
