Hey guys, Serendipity here. This is my first Glee fic. Just an idea that has been running around in my head for the last 6 years or so. I had originally thought to write it for RENT, but decided on Glee instead. Reviews are appreciated and are like crack to me. Let me know what you think.

-Serendipity

Rachel gazed sadly into space from the hospital bed as her mind spun with the clouded family of memories. That's all she had left. Her voice was raspy, her body was shutting down, and her face was so full of wrinkles. All around her, nurses and care staff bustled about and her roommate was crying like she always did this time of day. Alzheimer's. She had no clue what that meant, even though people keep saying that to her. If that was making her mind crazy, then so be it. She didn't care anymore. She just didn't care anymore. She had no one to care about anymore, they were all dead. She was dying, she knew that. She was so tired of everything, not only physically tired, but mentally drained. She just wanted to let go, but something wouldn't let her. She felt like she had to hang on for something. She was tired of people asking how she was feeling. She'd stopped eating, only drinking some fruit juice once in a while. All she had were her memories and Arianna. But even they seemed fuzzy; she had a harder time remember more recent times. Her memories of high school and her early 20's and 30's were as crystal clear as ever. In her mind, she was back at McKinley and it was time for Glee Club. Her dry lips smiled in the tiniest of smiles as she remembered her friends. Her friends who were all gone. The smile disappeared from her lips as quickly as it had come. She wasn't ready to re-live the pain of their deaths yet. It had been only in the last 10 years that everyone passed, but she could still feel the raw hurt around the edges of her mind. Cancer, old age, car crashes, disease... they had all conspired to rob her of her sanity. They were supposed to be together forever. She sighed and closed her eyes, wishing for the silence and nothingness to envelope her.
