Love That Never Fades

Chapter One

Rachel sighs tiredly as she lays down on the couch. It had been a tiring and busy week for her. Most of the time she had been filming for her hit TV show. After two years on Broadway, she wanted a change and started auditioning for movie roles. After scoring her first movie role, Rachel decided to move to LA. Her moment of peace was soon interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing. Rachel groaned, but answered,

"Hello."

"Well, someone sounds happy to hear from me." Her best friend, Kurt, said with a sarcastic tone. This made Rachel smile instantly,

"Oh my gosh Kurt! I've missed you! How are you?" Rachel didn't get to see Kurt as much as she wanted to with both of their busy schedules, with his fashion line and her TV show, it was hard to find time.

"I'm good. How's my favorite diva?"

"Very tired." Rachel replied with a chuckle.

"Aw that's too bad, because I just so happen to be in LA to do a few fittings, but if you're too tired-"

Rachel cut Kurt off with an excited squeal and Kurt laughed,

"Don't play games with me Kurt. Get your butt down to my place now!" Rachel demanded jokingly.

"Okay, see you in 20."

Rachel pretty much ran to the door as soon as she heard knocking. She opened the door and flew into Kurt's arms. They both laughed and spun each other around.

"So, are you gonna let me in now?" Kurt asked and Rachel laughed and let him in, closing the door after him.

"Love what you've done to the place." Kurt said approvingly, motioning to the walls decorated with pictures of Barbra Streisand and some group pictures of the glee club. He then walks over to the picture of Finn and smiles sadly.

"That's my favorite one." Rachel said. Even though they had broken up for good after sophomore year, they remained close friends. Finn's death hit her hard. A few months ago, she had someone enlarge a picture of Finn and had it framed and hung it up in her condo. Rachel leads Kurt to the couch and they sit.

"How's the married life?" Rachel asks with a smile, the question making Kurt beam,

"I love it. Blaine is just amazing." Kurt gushed. Kurt and Blaine had been married for a little over a year.

"How are you in the dating department though?" He asked carefully, Rachel sighed.

"Kurt.."

"C'mon Rach, you haven't dated anyone since Santana. Don't you think it's time? It's been three years." Rachel closes her eyes at the mention of her name. Santana. Her and Santana got together their senior year of high school. Shocking right? No one expected it, their friends didn't even believe it until they were together for a few months. They were together for a good two years before the distance destroyed their relationship. Rachel had been heartbroken and decided to take a break from dating for a while and focus on her career.

"I just haven't had the time Kurt, I'm so busy." Kurt gave her a pointed look, clearly not believing her. Rachel groaned,

"It's just hard Kurt. We were so in love, y'know? And I put my all into that relationship. She was the one I wanted to spend forever with and it ended up not going the way I wanted it to. It's just hard putting myself out there and finding someone genuine." Kurt looked at her understandingly.

"That's how I felt after Blaine cheated. I didn't know where to go from there. But, I eventually started dating again. Even though things worked out for Blaine and I in the end, I still got back out there. And who knows, maybe it's not too late for you guys." Kurt said, trying to lift her spirits.

"She's with somebody else now Kurt, I'm pretty sure we're over for good. Maybe I should start dating, it's like you said it's been a while." Kurt looked at her sadly.

"There's a new fashion police on tonight, let's watch. You know I can't miss an episode." Kurt said, motioning for Rachel to turn on the TV. Rachel smiled and was grateful for the change in subject.

After watching fashion police and listening to Kurt criticize celebrity's outfits, they decided to order Chinese food.

"Ooh keep it on this channel, e!news is about to come on." Rachel rolled her eyes and got up to answer the door. She handed Kurt his food and sat down beside him.

"Are Santana Lopez and Dani Santos engaged? Stay tuned and find out." The announcer said. Kurt looked at Rachel with wide eyes and Rachel stared at the TV blankly. After two minutes of agonizing commercial breaks, the entertainment show finally came back on.

"Are wedding bells in the future for Santana Lopez and Dani Santos? Fans of both stars started freaking out when Santana was spotted out yesterday with a flashy ring on her left finger. It's confirmed that the pair, who had gotten together just last year, are in fact engaged."

The show then shows footage of Santana on a red carpet being interviewed.

"How does it feel to be on the cover of 'Latina' for a third time now?" the interviewer asks,

"It's amazing, and it's always an honor each time." Santana answers with a smile.

"So, I've noticed the bling right there on your hand. Are you engaged?"

Santanachuckles and nods,"Yes, I am."

"Aw, congrats to both you and Dani. The ring is gorgeous." The interviewer says.

"Thank you." Santana says and the video cuts off.

"So there you have it Dantana fans, a wedding is indeed in the future for these two." The announcer says. Kurt then cuts off the TV.

"Rach…" Rachel just looks at her hands.

"I'm fine. She's moved on, she's happy. I'm happy for her." Rachel says with a weak smile. Kurt nods his head and drops the subject, even though he knows Rachel's not telling the truth.

"I'm here for you, whenever you need me." He says and gives Rachel a hug.

"Thank you Kurt." She says, returning his hug. Thankful for her best friend.
