Rachel's bedroom was all packed up. The room was full of boxes waiting to be put into Rachel's car. The only thing left in her bedroom was the bed. Rachel and Santana were leaving that night. They decided to drive to New York, thinking it would be more fun than taking a plane.
"You ready yet? Your dads said that we should get on the rode by eight" Santana said, walking into Rachel's room. Rachel was looking at her yearbook from sophomore year. She flipped to the Glee Club picture, and sighed.
"I'm going to miss everyone" Rachel frowned.
"Me too" Santana said, taking a seat next to Rachel.
"It's strange. In a way, I thought it would never end" Rachel giggled.
"I guess because we never wanted it to" Santana said.
Rachel closed the yearbook and looked around her pink, empty room. "I can't believe it's actually happening. We're actually going to New York!" Rachel smiled.
"Finally. I'm ready to get out of Lima" Santana said.
"Yeah. So am I" Rachel nodded.
"You should be! You're going to be a star! And I'll be right there with you" Santana said.
"What if my dreams don't come true. What if I'm destined to live a life of Off-Broadway productions?" Rachel said with worry. That was always something that scared her. "What if I'm not good enough"
"You are good enough! You're going to be the star at Julliard, and later, a star on Broadway" Santana said.
"You really think so?" Rachel asked.
"I know so! No one's better than Rachel Berry"
Rachel smiled, and hugged Santana.
"I love you"
"I love you too"
The two of them pulled away when they heard a knock on the door. It was Puck.
"Puck!" The two of them said and ran up and hugged him.
"What are you doing here?" Rachel asked.
"I came to talk to you guys about something" He said.
"I heard that you guys got an apartment in New York. I was wondering if I could come. I don't want to be a Lima Loser forever. I want to do something with my life" Noah said.
"We do have an extra bedroom" Rachel said to Santana.
"Fine. You can come. But…. You're driving!" Santana said.
"Driving?"
"We're driving to New York" Rachel beamed.
'I'll drive on one condition. You let me bring someone" Puck said.
"Who?" Santana asked.
"Finn!" Puck called, and Finn walked in. They smiled and took each other's hands.
"You guys are….?"
"Yeah" Finn smiled.
"This is going to be so much fun!" Rachel clapped her hands.
"Wait, hold up! When did this happen?" Santana asked.
"About two months ago" Puck smiled.
"Aww!" Rachel and Santana said, making Finn blush.
"Guys, you better get going. You've got a long drive ahead of you" Rachel's dad said. The four of them looked at each other and smiled.
"New York, here we come" Rachel said, and they all headed downstairs and outside to Rachel's Jeep. She had traded in her old car, finding it appropriate for this very situation.
"Have fun! And call us when you get there" Rachel's dads said, and hugged her tightly. Rachel smiled at them, holding back tears.
"Bye" She hugged them again, then got in the car with the others.
Puck started the car, and they pulled off into the night.
Rachel rested her head on Santana's shoulder in the backseat, and Santana put a blanket on them.
"Have you heard anything from your parents?" Rachel asked.
"My dad. He's going to send us money in a few weeks"
"What about your mom?"
"No" Santana sighed. She hadn't talked to her mom since the day she came out to them. She had talked to her dad numerous times, and had gotten closer than ever to him. Santana would probably never speak to her mom again, and she knew that. She didn't want to talk to her if she didn't except her, something her mom would probably never do.
"I'm sorry" Rachel said.
"Don't be"
"I'm going to take a nap" Rachel yawned and closed her eyes.
Santana looked out of the window and into the night.
"Goodbye, Lima" She whispered to herself, and closed her eyes , as well.
The end.
