A/N: Okay, just to warn you; this chapter is awfully boring and shitty as hell. (well, in my opinion) I had better ideas at start but it came out all wrong, I got a huge writer block and inspiration just wouldn't come to me. Plus, I still can't believe that Rachel end up with Jessie! What the hell seriously? What about Sam?
By the way, there it is. Hope you'll like it anyway.
Pictures on the Wall
Rachel was walking in the train station with her pink suitcase behind her. She was back in New York! It was a new start for her. Santana, Brittany, Kurt and Blaine, who were all back in New York since last week, were waiting for her in her apartment. Since Kurt and Blaine were living in their old loft, she got to take another one by herself. Thankfully, she had saved all the money from Funny Girl and the one and only episode of her show. She somehow felt one day she'll need it. Kurt and Santana had themselves choose (and decorate) her apartment. From the picture she saw, it was a beautiful place.
Rachel hop in a taxi and give the driver her new address. She dialed Kurt's number as the taxi make his way through the crowded streets.
«Hey Rachel!» Kurt answered after the second ring.
«Hey, I'm on my way. Are you all there?»
«Yeah, well Blaine is down the street to bring us pizza —don't worry we take a vegan one.»
«Aw, you're the best! I should be there in less than thirty minutes.»
«Okay, see you there. Love you.»
«Love you too.» At this word, she hang up. She look through the window to watch the city passed by as the taxi was on his way to her new home. She didn't realize until now, but she was missing the city like hell in Lima.

In Lima, Sam was worried sick. Even though Rachel had promised her to call as soon as she would arrived in her apartment, he had no news from her and was starting going crazy. He was in the middle of a football practice, but his mind were focus on his girl. Fortunately, Coach Beiste was fully there, because Sam wasn't from any help today. He totally understand though. The poor guy had to leave his girlfriend for God knows how long this morning and had practically no news since then.
Then, Sam's phone buzzed in his hand. Finally he got some news. He read the message he just got from Rachel. "Hey babe. I just got to NY. On my way to my apartment. I'll call you there. ILY xx." A big idiot smile came up to his lips.
«Hey Coach. Does it bother if I go now? Rachel is about to call and..."
«Just go. I think I can do it without you,» he said with a wink. Beiste almost wanted to complete with a "like I do since the start of this practice" but he just refrain it. As soon as he said it, Sam was gone.

Back in New York, Rachel was in front of her apartment's door. «I'm home,» she whispered before entering. All of her friends jump from the couch they were sitting on to welcome her. «Oh my God! Kurt, Santana this apartment is amazing!» She hugged each of her friends. Kurt make her do a quick tour of the apartment before returning in the living room. «I got to call Sam.»
«Seriously? You just came in,» Santana exclaim. «You didn't even eat anything yet.»
«I need to. And I promise him I would call as soon as I arrived. It won't be long.» Rachel didn't give anyone the time to say anything and walk away from them a little to call her boyfriend. She dial his number and wait for him to answer.
«Hello beautiful,» Sam answered. «So, how does it feel to be back in New York?»
«It's wonderful. I feel home again, I guess. It's weird, but I also miss Lima a little bit.» As she said this, he could feel sadness in her voice. I miss you, she wanted to say, but she know it was kind of stupid. «So, do you want me to describe the apartment as I make a tour?»
«Yeah, sure!»
«Okay. So, when you come in, there's the living room. The walls are dark gray and the couch is red. It's like a huge couch in L. I seriously love it. There's even a piano!» Sam smiled hearing how she was enthusiasm. «Typically, the kitchen is connect with the living room. In the middle, there's the table. That on is so huge we could probably fit all the gang at it.» She let out a little chuckle. «Then, there's a corridor that leads to the bathroom and the visitor bedroom. This bedroom is pretty cool. All in black and a greenish blue.» She go on with the description of the bathroom, the closets in the corridor and then she finally arrived in front of the master bedroom. It was a big room with beige walls. The bed cover was turquoise. It was simple, yet beautiful. It was perfect. She described all of it with her voice full of happiness.
«I can't wait to see your apartment. It sounds like a beautiful place.»
«Well, I do hope you will see it soon...» She almost said it as a whisper.
«As soon as possible, I promise Rach.» The conversation was taking a side way too sad for Rachel. She didn't want to think about him being so far away from her. She didn't want to be sad on her first day in her own apartment.
« I got to go, okay? They're all waiting for me to eat. I'll call you tomorrow?»
«Tomorrow it is. Have a good evening, babe.»
«You too. Bye.»
«Bye.»
After they hung up, Rachel stared at her phone for a moment. This relation was going to be difficult. She put her phone back in her pocket looking at the wall in front of her. An idea just came in her mind...

As soon as her friends had quit her apartment, Rachel brought her bags in her bedroom. She took the little box with all her pictures from the last years. She took the pictures one by one and hung it on the wall. This room was now even more feeling like home for her.
