Okay, so this may literally be the most AU thing I've ever written in my entire life, but I watched The Notebook and it screamed Klaine at me, so I obviously had to do this. I don't really want to write a super long author's note explaining the plot and which character is which, so hopefully the story will speak for itself. But if it doesn't, I want you to review with your question so I can answer it in the next chapter if I can.

Also, I have a very bad track record with updating WIPs but I am so excited about this one that I will make myself see it through to the end. Though I do have school starting up soon, but I will find the time to sit down and update at least every other week (I know that's quite a stretch of time, but it may be the best I can do).

One last thing and then I swear I'm done. A lot of this will be taken directly from The Notebook but I will try to limit it to just Noah's voiceovers and some iconic quotes that just have to be in it. I'm sorry if that's a bother to anyone.

I do not own Glee or The Notebook so please don't sue me – you won't get much since I have a dollar to my name :)

I am no one special; just a common man with common thoughts. I've lead a common life – there are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect, I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another will all my heart and soul and, for me, that has always been enough.

His day started the way it always did – wake up, shower, dress, and make sure he had his book before leaving his room to venture out into the retirement home where he lived. He stood in line for his pills like everyone else, talking with the others who'd come there to wait for death. He, of course, had come there for a very different reason, which is why the overall gloomy atmosphere of the place had no effect on him.

After his pills, he walked the familiar path to another room, where a nurse told him that it wasn't a good day. He knew different, however, so he took a chance to say hello.

Another man, who had been staring at the window, turned at the sound of his voice and smiled so faintly that someone who didn't know the man as well as he did wouldn't have caught it. The nurse explained that he had come to read to the man. It took a bit of convincing, but the man eventually agreed.

He always did.

I know this is the shortest thing in the history of forever, but it's just the prologue and I'm starting on chapter one as you're reading this. I hope to have it posted soon and I swear to all things holy that it will be longer than this.

Review!
