AN: This is completely open for interpretation.
The pathway became more treacherous as she moved deeper into the woods, she hadn't walked this way in a while. Outreaching tree limbs scratched her and roots made her trip over her own two feet.
"Forty-one, forty-two, forty-three..." She had to get the number of steps right, she couldn't mess up this time.
As she walks, she remembers discovering their spot together. She remembers her best friend's face light up and her demand that this spot they stumbled upon became their spot. They were seven. She remembers the laughs they shared, the adventures they had.
As they got older, their place became one of secrets and gossip. They talked about the losers in their school like Rachel Berry (Rachel always was a topic of conversation) and boys. She never really seemed that interested in boys though.
When they were fifteen, they shared their first kiss under a canopy of trees and the shadows of the first summer night. It wasn't planned, it just happened. One minute they were talking and the next, her best friends lips were planted on hers. They kissed for what felt like hours. It was the first night of many where whispers of romance bloomed.
As she approaches their spot, she innocently thinks she's going to be there, waiting as she always is, until she looks up at the giant pine. They she remembers the night she had too much to drink, she remembers getting here too late.
She sits down in her usual spot, she calmly takes a breath and starts, as she usually does,
"Hi baby, how was your day?"
There is no response, just the whistling of the wind, but she continues.
"Mine way okay, Puck kept hitting on me, it was creepy. I missed you in Glee today, I didn't have anyone to talk to."
Again, no response. Her tears start to come now, but she keeps talking, hoping she'll get a response.
"Quinn says hi, and that she misses you. Everyone does."
She now turns, to face the cold stone that used to be where the love of her life sat.
"I know its been a while, I'm sorry I didn't come sooner. I just...couldn't face it. I hope you can forgive me."
She turns away from the stone, now staring into a break in the trees, where a field stretches out.
"I hope you don't mind being here all by yourself, but I thought it could be like when Forest buried Jenny, you remember that baby, right?"
Of course she did, it was her favorite movie.
"Forest buried Jenny by their spot, and I thought you'd want the same."
She couldn't bear to speak anymore, the silence was too loud. So she sat there for God knows how long, by the time she got the courage to stand it was dark.
She went to leave, but then stopped turning to where her other half should be sitting.
"I gotta go now babe, but I'll come back soon, okay? I-I lo-...I love you. I always will."
As she turned to leave, she swore she heard a whisper of "I love you too" on the wind.
