Prologue

"I love you."

I knew that those words were true the second they rolled off my tongue. I really liked Rachel. She's really cool. And I know that we've had a rocky relationship over the past nine months, with all the drama from Quinn's baby and Jesse and Glee club. But when I told her I wanted to "find my inner rockstar", well, that was a really douche move. I still regret it, even though we're together now. I wish I hadn't done it. I wish I hadn't used her for her singing, and I wish I had been honest with her from the beginning. I know she's forgiven me for it, but..

What she said was true. She really is the only person that knows the real me and accepts him. God I love her so much.

I could tell he wasn't lying to me. I could tell he really meant it. And the words he said gave me courage to complete the show, even though we didn't win or even place. When we sang, my eyes were locked on him.

Wheels go 'round and 'round, you're on my mind

It's the last day of school, and Mr. Schuester is singing Over the Rainbow with Noah. Everyone exchanges final looks. I feel like a new person. Glee has changed my life, and I can hardly remember my life before it. I lean my head on Finn's shoulder and he grabs my hand in his. I never want this moment to end.

I am happy beyond measure that Glee gets another year, but more importantly I am looking forward to the summer. I already have a mental list of everything me and Finn are going to do. I plan to spend every waking moment with him, with his arms around me.
