Letters To Rachel Berry: Chapter Three...
Rachel Berry had (as always) stayed late to go over some vocal runs, sure sure Nationals had been and gone, and she had all summer to practise for NYADA, but this was Rachel afterall. She had her routines and she intended to stick to them.
Anyway, it was around 6pm when Rachel returned to her locker for the last time, ever. Nearly 3 hours after the rest of the school had left. She had told her Daddy to pick her up at 6:30 and decided to check one last time that she had everything she needed.
As she approached her locker, she saw Quinn leaning against it smiling at her.
"Hi Quinn, may I ask what you're doing here at this hour, I assumed you would be hanging out with friends and celebrating graduation and Yale"
"No Rachel, you may not"
"Um okay Quinn, well I'll just get my books and I'll be out of your way"
Quinn just smiled as Rachel fumbled with the lock.
"Need a hand, Rach?"
"No thankyou Quinn, I assure you that I am perfectly capable of undoing a lock, I've been doing it for four years, I'm actually rather good at it"
Quinn just smirked and placed her hand on top of Rachel's.
"Let Me"
"It's Fine, Quinn"
Rachel eventually admitted defeat and let go, her hand tingling with that all too unfamiliar warmth.
"Uhm, Rach?"
"Yes?"
"Combination?"
"Oh, 170593"
Quinn quickly undid the lock and look into Rachels eyes.
"Rach, why is your locker combination my birthday?"
"I'll have you know Quinn that it is the one I was assigned at the beginning of Freshman year, I never got around to changing it"
"Mhmm, Okay"
With that Rachel pulled her locker open and a cascade of freshly sealed white envelopes flew out. Quinn quickly bent down to pick them up as Rachel was still gobsmacked. Besides, Quinn had to check they were all here didn't she?
14 freshly sealed, crisp, white envelopes. Perfect.
She handed them to Rachel, placed her hand into her own bag and pulled out a golden, star shaped envelope.
"Open mine last"
She handed Rachel the envelope and turned on her heel, making her way through McKinley High's corridors one last time.
AN: Okay so here we are, I'm going to dedicate one chapter to each letter from here on out. Plus there'll be the aftermath so at least another 15 chapters to come.
Reviews make me happy guys
