The Plan

Prologue-A Whisper
"It started with a whisper"
She could barely hear what she said. It was scarcely more than a whisper. "I love you."
Hazel eyes looked deep into brown ones. Three little words and my life now hang in the balance. What is she going to do? All I have ever wanted was for her to love me.
I stand there, waiting for her to say something, anything.
"I love you too."
"And that is when I kissed her."
I couldn't contain myself. Those were the words that I had been waiting to hear. I couldn't suppress the urge for her any longer.
I grabbed her and pulled her to me. I leaned into her and claimed the lips that until this moment had only been a dream to me.
She tasted so sweet. The kiss filled me like the air that I breathe. I allowed my hands to travel her body and to feel her softness beneath my fingers.
She was cool to the touch, although, that could have been because I was on fire. I had been on fire for years, just thinking of this moment.
In this moment, I could never ask for anything more. The feeling of this instant was enough to last me for a lifetime, or to make a lifetime worth being lived at all.
*Beep Beep Beep*
And that is when my world came crashing back to me. I reached up and turned the clock off, only just resisting the urge to chuck it across the room. I looked down in my arms and all that was there was my pillow, AGAIN!
This was getting old, real fast. Every day, for far too long, I wake up hugging my pillow. This truly had to end.
As I move to get up I take one last look at my pillow and again wish that she was there instead. I punch the pillow as I get up. Why couldn't it be her for once? Why always just a pillow?
I make my way to my bathroom, disappointment clear on my face. As I step up to the mirror I look at myself.
"Okay, enough is enough. This is going to be the last time you have that dream. It's time to put this plan into motion."
I give myself this pep talk to strengthen my resolve in this matter.
"Today will be the last day that you hug your pillow! For now on you will be hugging HER! You will be holding HER! After today SHE will be yours!"
And then just to make myself smile, I say HER name.
"Rachel Berry!"
