The sky was pitch black, with not a single star in sight. Rachel sighed, this made her think back to when she and Finn had been together and the amazing Christmas present she had gotten him.
"It's your own star", Finn replied, confidently.
"You named a star after me?", Rachel was shocked, she normally wouldn't have received gifts from anyone except her Fathers, who didn't even turn up for Christmas this year. To Rachel, this was the nicest, most sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her. It was everything for her.
"No, I thought about that but then I named it Finn Hudson". Rachel felt confused but still delighted about her extravagant gift. Finn carried on,
"Because there is already a star named Rachel Berry and she's right here on earth and she's brighter than any of those stars up there." Finn felt very relieved when he saw Rachel's face and how content she seemed about this gift. So he decided to elaborate,
"So I wanted to make sure that whenever you feel lonely, you can look up at the sky and no matter where I am, you can know that I'm looking down on you". Her smile beamed wider and brighter than ever before and she linked arms with Finn and walked down the busy hallways of McKinley High.
That night, she and Finn gave themselves to each other. It was passionate and gentle, not forceful at all. At the time, she didn't regret it and thought that it was one of the best things that had happened to her, especially since she was slushied and bullied daily. But three weeks later, Finn broke up with her because he had cheated on her with her archenemy, Quinn Fabray, and didn't want to lead her on with his love. Little did he know that those three weeks of Rachel being single had changed her life and his life forever.
So Rachel sat on her windowsill, looking up to the sky, the chilly midnight breeze hitting her pale and hollow face. Her dads, Leroy and Hiram, were away for another week in London. (It was their anniversary and they wanted to take a small vacation away. Rachel was used to this and ended up spending the majority of the year alone in her house or at school.) She had contemplated why Finn had cheated on her but soon realised that what had confused her for so long, was staring her in the face. Rachel. Berry. She was the problem and she wasn't exactly beautiful or attractive. Her boobs were small and her butt was flat, but still Finn loved her all the same.
Then one faint glow that was hardly in view sparkled like a million diamonds to Rachel. A star. It might be small but it gave her hope to keep on living, just like her Finn. Her eyes traced the whole sky in search of more stars but there was no hope. She eventually gave up trying to look for more and felt her eyes go drowsy. Her head fell against the window and blackness succumbed her.
