a (k)new Beginning.

As she walked across the huge Broadway stage she knew at that moment that she finally made it. Her dreams were finally coming true, and she was gonna be a star. She smiled to herself, feeling more happiness than she ever had in her life. and she was feeling genuine happiness. not the fake happy she always pretended to be in high school. this was real happiness. she stood in the middle of the stage, looking to where the audience would be seated during her performance, later that week. she closed her eyes and imagined thousands of people there, cheering for her, applauding her. Rachel Barbra Berry.

her dads had always raised her making her believe anything she dreamed could come true. but until that moment, she wasn't exactly 100% sure that she could actually become a Broadway star. but being there on that stage had showed her if you never gave up, your dreams could always come true. her high school experience wasn't exactly the greatest in the world. she had her heart broken multiple times, and was constantly laughed at for being so ambitious and dream-oriented. sure, she admitted, at times she was a little hard to handle, but she didn't think think she was as terrible as everyone said. she shook the thoughts from her head and thought about where she was at that moment. though she hadn't exactly performed yet, being on Broadway was still the greatest thing she had ever experienced.

she smiled once again, before turning on her heel getting ready to walk off the stage.

however, the sight in front of her made her stop dead in her tracks. she saw a boy standing off to the right of the stage. she recognized him immediately. the way he just stood there. the look in his eyes. the grin on his face. she started walking slowly towards him, remembering all the times they shared together in high school. the way he broke her heart. everything. finally getting close enough to where she could see his face, so she knew she wasn't just imagining him there, she blinked her eyes a couple times, and cleared her throat.

"j-jesse?" she asked, quietly, half hoping it really was him standing there. Jesse st. james. the lead singer from vocal adrenaline, who broke her heart, and an egg over her head.

"hello, Rachel" she heard him say, before she walked past him quickly, hoping he didn't see the tears in her eyes before running back stage and making her way into one of the dressing rooms, hoping jesse wouldn't find her.

a/n: okay, so that's the first chapter. obviously it's st. berry based.

the next chapter will be Fuinn and Brittana, then Terri/Puck(don't ask about this pairing, it started as a joke but then ended up being serious..haha) and Emma/Will then Artie/Tina and Mike/Kurt.

just as an introduction to all the couples, and then all the good interesting stuff will start happening, and yeah.

but just, let me know what you think of this. :D

thanks!

xo, nicole.
