Please let me know what you think, I've been having fun writing this story :)

During the first few months after high school, everyone from Glee tried really hard to keep in touch, sending emails to each other, making phone calls all day long. Eventually there were less and less emails, less phone calls. Quinn understood that, they were all making new friends, moving on from their lives in Ohio, becoming whatever it was that they were supposed to be. Whenever she did know something about her friends, she would receive the news with so much joy. Plus she had two of her best friends right there with her. But that short, annoying, so very talented brunette was nowhere to be seen. The blonde learned that Rachel would barely talk to Finn or Puck, and she never tried to reach Quinn. Hell, Brittany went to the same school, but she said Rachel was nowhere to be found. They were even taking a class together, but Rachel started to skip class, after a while, Brittany found out that Rachel had taken some kind of leave, so to speak. She was busy putting up a play. So Quinn, the former popular cheerleader decided not to push the rising star, maybe someday they would meet again. "Who knows?", she thought to herself.

At 6 o'clock she received a text from Santana; "meet us you know where, we're waiting for you!". Quinn knew where. There was this small bar, near by their department that they started to visit one day during their first week of school. A new friend of Britt introduced them the place and they would go hit the place at least every Friday, Saturday if possible and may be, just be on Sunday. But at some point, Quinn grew bored out of the bar. It was a cool place, and she had met some people there, she had fun. But she wanted something more, something she wasn't willing to admit to her friends.

- Q, snap out of that midsummer dream you're having. We're here.

- I'm sorry.

- What are you thinking about?, Brittany asked. She seemed to always be distracted, but damn this girl always asked the best questions.

- Well... I... I don't know.

- You know you've been like that since... I don't know! Last year? When we moved here, it was all good, you had your fun, you even allowed yourself to live a little.

- A little? S, I think she made out with more girls AND boys that you and I combined...

- I know... and then, what happened? So I get it, random hooking up's not your thing. But I don't think getting caught up in work should be your thing either. Specially not now, may be when we're like 24 or something.

- Right... I know, it's just...

- You wished you hadn't made out and stuff with girls? I mean, it's OK, you can go back to date boys only.

- No! It's not that at all, it's just, that I've been thinking about a particular event...

- Don't tell me it's THAT particular event!

- You mean when Man Hands kissed Q?, Brittany interrupted the revelation. Quinn gave her a dirty look.

- Yes, that's what I mean. And I would very much appreciate if you didn't refer to her as Man Hands. She was our friend after all, remember?.

- Fabray, you and I know that she was YOUR friend. But that's cool. I'm not thinking about that. What I wanna know is... what the hell are you waiting for? She lives at the same city you do, you were friends, spend every freaking day together, then she kissed you. What are you waiting for?

- Well, she made it very clear that she wanted her space once we got here. She kept talking about work all the time, being on stage...

- Yeah, and maybe she wanted you there. I thought that you were upset with her. Seriously Fabray, either make a move, or get over it. Now let's go to Jaime's house, he has a party and we all need a drink.

The shorter blonde didn't argue with any of those ideas, it all was true, she needed to do something, or just get over it once and for all. She also needed a drink.

That was officially her last day in Lima, Ohio. She spent the whole morning saying goodbye to her mother. Quinn was happy for Judy, who found an amazing man to grow old with, and started her own business. Judy was a different person now, they all were. Santana and Brittany would pick her up in a few hours, so Quinn rushed up to Rach's house. When she got there, James received her with a warm smile and then said "you know, the fact that you're leaving is really getting into Rach... I don't know, she didn't do her routine this morning, she's not gonna admit to it, but she'll miss you most over all the other kids in Glee", "but we're gonna be living at the same city...we", James hurried up and said, "you know Quinn, I just don't really know what's going on on that girls mind". The blonde went upstairs to find Rachel Berry sitting on the bed. No music, no videos, no TV, no nothing. Just a bittersweet silence.

- What's going on Rach?, asked Quinn sitting on the edge of the bed, right next to Rachel. The brunette immediately stood up and walked towards the window.

- I don't know Quinn. I just feel... lost I guess. I'm scared.

- Of what?

- Loosing you, said Rachel, blushing but without hesitating. She turned around to meet Quinn's eyes. Those eyes.

- You can't loose me, you dork. You mean the world to me.

- That's what you say now, but I'm sure that as soon as you go out there in the world, and people start to realize how beautiful and intelligent you are, then they'll take you away from me, 'cos then you'll see that I'll always be Rachel Berry, Rachel from Glee club, Rachel...

- Who's the most beautiful, talented and entertaining person I've ever met.

- Entertaining?, really?

- You know what I mean, Rach. You should know by now what you mean to me.

It hadn't been that long ago. Prom took place a year and a few months ago, but to Quinn, it was as if it had happened only yesterday. Her date was Puck and Rachel's was Finn. The four of them became really close that year, even closer than before. That made Santana somewhat jealous, but she would never admit to that. "But you're my BFF, you guys have always been there for me. I won't lie, I love hanging out with those 3, but you two, you are MY girls, alright?". Santana would always reply with a nasty comment, something like, "Whatever preggers". But Quinn didn't care, besides, Brittany would always let her know how the Latina actually felt "Come on S, you just told me an hour ago that you miss Q". So it went like that for most part of their senior year. At some point, Quinn doesn't really know when, Rachel and her started spending a lot of time together, cuddling while watching a movie, holding hands when taking long walks around the neighborhood. "What is this?" Quinn began to wondering one afternoon, it was Saturday, and Rachel had spent the whole day hanging out at her place and after a few hours of swimming, fell asleep while grabbing Quinn's arm. She looked at the brunette and thought it was the most beautiful thing in this would. "It's OK to say that, right? It's not like I like like Rachel".
