Beersheba Israel
Getting off her Harley Davidson V1200 with a rose and a sunflower, Rachel walks to the final resting place of her wife and daughter placing one on each headstone.
Aisharwarya, Sonali, I miss you both so much but its time for me to go. It hurts too much to be here without you both.
Ash, I gave the house to Jaya and Tandon. They needed it. She is having another baby, this makes it 6 now, and its a girl, finally. She will still be out numberd with 5 brothers. I am going back to the U.S today. to New York, but home will always be with you and Sonny. Bye my love.
Rachel had a hour before her flight left so she drove to her former home. It was empty now. She had only kept a few things like pictures and the trunk they got as a wedding gift from Aisharwarya parents. Life was funny like that it never turned out like you thought it would
( flashback senior year)
This was my year to leave my mark. Finn and I had broken up over the summer. We wanted vastly different things out of life and I couldn't deny it anymore or maybe I was just tired of trying. The accident Quinn had in junior year really changed her. Watching your best friend seemingly die being parlayzied will change a person. Azmio and Quinn were leaving a football game on the freeway, when a truck driver hit them head on. He had taken his eyes off the road to read a text on his phone. Azmio died instantly. Quinn lived but was in a coma for a week. Before that Quinn and I weren't friends, honestly she made my life a living hell calling me names and thowing slushies at me everyday. When she joined glee, so it would look good on her college application, she learn to tolerate me. The the slushies stopped but every now and then she still would glare at me or bump into me on purpose to remind me of my place on the social ladder. Quinn came back to school in a wheelchair.
She didn't talk much. Things changed the day I saw three boys from the hockey team ready to slushy her. I stepped in front of her. The road to her being my best friend has been rocky but we made it. Tonight is the graduation party at Quinn's. It will be so much fun.
Music is playing, we all are sitting around the bonfire sipping on our drinks and talking about the future. Artie is going to Texas to study bio chemistry. Tina is going to be a chef Mike and Puck are going to California. Mike for dance and Puck is going to try acting. He says 'what could be better than getting paid to kiss hot babes all day?'. Quinn is going to Yale. Santana is going to Louisville on scholarships. Brittany is going too, to study veterinary medicine.
Everyone starts to leave around1:30. Quinn and I are cleaning up the yard when I notice Santana's car in the drive way. Knowing those two, I am sure they are somewhere inside making out.
Quinn grabs two bottles of water and we head up to her room. I am so nervous my hands are sweating and my stomach is in knots.
"Rach, you have to bunk with me tonight. Santana and Britt are in Fran's room. Santana had way to much to drink and drive." says Quinn
"Oh, its not a problem. I don't take up that much space but I am a blanket hog so you might want to get another one. Does this room get drafty at night? I wouldn't want you to catch a cold. You know summer colds are the worst... they tend to linger."
Quinn laughs "It's August. I am sure we will be fine." she replies.
"So, did you have fun tonight? You were kinda quiet tonight." Quinn inquires.
"Is that your way of saying I talk a lot? I was just trying to be present in the moment and not miss a thing. You know we all are on the cusp of adulthood and its a little daunting."
"I know but its exciting too. We all get to leave this suffocating town and go out into the world." She says.
I take a sip of my water and stand up and start pacing.
"Quinn, I have to tell you something"
"O lord, please tell me your not back with Finn or that he has convinced you to stay here?"
For a moment, I stop mid pace and just look at Quinn wanting to say the words but nothing comes out.
"I am going to kill that selfish bastard." Quinn growls as she stands up. It takes me a moment to see that Quinn is leaving. I stop her, grabbing her wrist
"Whoa tiger slow down. Stop! It has nothing to do with him. Sit."
"Ugh, I hate when you call me that. What the hell is going on?" She glares at me for a moment
Reaching on her night stand she grabs an envolpe in her hands. "I got us 6 months worth of metro passes so we can stay in touch."
I am crying a little. "Quinn this is so sweet but I can't use them because I joined the army. I leave for Georiga in 2 days." I say in one breath.
"...Repeat that?" Quinn whispers.
"I joined the army"
Quinn jumped off the bed "Rachel, have you lost your fucking mind? We are a country at war right now! You could get deployed and be killed! Your dream is to be on broadway! Seeing your name in lights! Not fighting in some war half a world away from me." Quinn says brokenly.
I hate seeing Quinn cry, that I am the reason for those tears. "You're right, that was my dream but sometimes life has different plans." I laugh bitterly.
"Rach, why are you doing this?" Quinn asks.
"I can't afford to go to New York even with a scholarship and I won't have my dads take out a second mortgage. So, I joined the army. They will pay for school."
Sighing she replies. "Oh, how long did you sign up for?"
"I signed a 7 year commitment. This way school is paid for and I will have a little eggs nest for later. This isn't the ideal situation but it's my only solution."
"I know but it sucks." Quinn replies. "What did your dad's say?"
"They are devastated but understand why i did it. I didn't tell the others cause I wanted tonight to be about us all having a good time, not just about me," I answer.
"I am so pissed that you would do this, but mostly scared that you will be hurt or worse." Quinn says with tears in her eyes.
I don't know what to say so I just give her hug.
"When do you leave?" She asks.
"I leave in two days and basic is in Georgia"
"That's not enough time" Quinn says running her hand though her hair.
"I know but that's all we have." I reply.
