Quinn was about to go to sleep after a hard day of studing when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of her Yale room. She hadn't even time to ask who it was that Rachel was already in front of her, beautiful as always, with her two big brown eyes full of tears that seemed to say 'just hug me'.
''Hey, Rach.. what are you doing here?'' said Quinn with anxiety.
''Finn and I broke up... I took the first plane possible to get here''
''Oh Rach, I'm so sorry...''
''No, you aren't.''
''Rachel, please, tell me what do you want from me now.''
''Do you not understand what do you mean to me? Do you not understand why I came here?''
''I think you and Finn shoul talk and fix it.' Said Quinn, trying to pretend that she didn't care. But she cared. She cared so much that she want only to hug her and said that everything would be ok. ''I don't want to fix it with Finn. I just.. i just came here to be with you. I understood that YOU are the right girl for me, Quinn. PLEASE, tell me you're not sorry.''
''I told you, Finn wasn't enough for you. I always knew. You're a star, and stars can't explode, stars need to shine. Do you know why stars explode? Because they are in love with another star. They are in love but they are too far to be together. So they try to approach each other, but then they explode. ''
''So I want to explode for you.''
''Rach, I always tried yo make you understand...''
''What Quinn? What? That i'm in love with you? I don't want to be with Finn, Brody or anyone else. I want you, Quinn. I want only you. I love you like I didn't love anyone. I'm a star, right? So i need you to shine, because you're my light. You're my missing puzzle piece. Be my missing puzzle piece!'' Said Rachel, bursting into tears. Rachel walked slowly towards her, as she wiped the tears streaming down her face with her sweater, as if trying to reassure her, to show her that everything would be fine, if they had been together.
Quinn was terrified, she could not say a word, she could only see in front of her eyes the girl that had been in love for four years, for which he had made many mistakes and the girl that now is approaching her and her brain was completely off, and the star was about to explode. The star was about to explode but Quinn couldn't turn off her light, she didn't deserve this. ''Come here... - said Rachel caressing Quinn's cheek - Everything is gonna be okay''
She went closer and closer to her, and their faces were touching, and their breaths began to mix each other.
And their lips finally touched, and that was the first time they saw each other, and that was, with their mouths slowly discovering and their tongues that embraced. And that was really the explosion of a star, a supernova, the brightest star that never existed. That kiss could last a minute as he could last for light years, but they did not care, finally they were there and nothing was more important.
When they finally looked into their eyes, without pretense, without pretending to hate each other, they saw for that they were really: two perfect stars that were one the light of the other, and without light they would just become two huge holes blacks. And grinning, her cheeks red from embarrassment, Quinn said:
'' I want to be your light. I want to be your missing puzzle piece. ''
'' I love you so much, my pretty blonde star. So, now, we're kind of starfriends, right?'' Said Rachel with a smile.
'' Kind of.''
