Chapter 1: Because I love you

There are places I'll remember

all my life

those some have changed

some forever not for better

some have gone

while some remain

But of all these friends and lovers

there is no one compared with you

though I know I'll never ever lose affection

for people and things

that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

in my life I love you more

"Hey, beautiful," Noah Puckerman said as he came up behind his girlfriend, Quinn Fabray, who was sitting inside breadsticks. It's the first Christmas after graduation and Quinn went back home to Lima to visit her mom. Puck, on the other hand, was also visiting his family. He just got back from Los Angeles where he set up his pool cleaning business a couple of months back, and it's currently doing well. He and Quinn would try to meet up every once in a while even if they're in different parts of the United States.

"Hey," Quinn said as she looked back and saw Puck. She stood up, hugged him, and gave him a kiss on the lips. Puck looked a bit different now—The mohawk was still there, but he had glasses on, and was wearing a black polo top and some slacks. Quinn was wearing a Pink dress, and her hair grew a little bit longer.

"You're beautiful," He said.

She laughed, "Shut up,"

Puck pulled out her chair so she can sit down again. He sat down on the seat across hers.

"So," he said, "back in Lima, huh?"

"We are," Quinn smiled, "I kinda miss it here..."

"Yeah, me too," Puck said, "Can't believe we're not living here anymore. I mean, yeah, you, I always knew you'd go out there and do great things but me...I was gonna be the Lima loser, if you didn't save me—"

"I did not save you, Puck," She smiled and reached out for his hand, "I only helped."

"I love you," He said.

"I love you, too." She smiled, "So...What is it you wanted to tell me?"

Puck took a deep breath and took something out of his pocket. It was an envelope.

"What's—" Quinn said and then she saw that the letter was from Brown University, "Oh my god," she looked at Puck.

"Open it," Puck said.

Quinn opened the envelope and took out the letter.

Mr. Noah Puckerman,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted in Brown University as a freshman for the second semester of this year—

"Oh my god, Puck, you got in!" She exclaimed, "I am so happy for you. Oh," She said, stood up and went up to him. She hugged him tightly as she sat down next to him, "Oh my god, You'll be in Providence!"

"Which is near New Haven," He smiled.

She smiled back, "Oh I'm so happy for you!" She said, "So you're moving by February? What about the pool cleaning business?"

"I have a friend in LA, his name is Jake, he'll take care of it for me,"

"I'm so proud of you," She said.

"It's all because I love you,"

"Oh, Puck," She said.

"So," He said, "Kurt's asking if we'd want to spend Christmas at Burt and Carol's...and also Santana's in town, and of course, so is Britt...and you know, the old gang..."

"That would be fun," Quinn said.

"I love you," He said.

"I'm proud of you," She shot back and they looked at each other, happy, in love, content with what they have and where they were at that moment.
