ONE YEAR LATER.


It's been a whole year since I started dating Rachel, and we are still going strong. We've been through a lot in the past year. In the time, Rachel has got in Juilliard, I have got a job in New York as a photographer. Santana got her head out of her arse and came out to everyone and she and Brittany are off to Boston together, Kurt and Blaine are still together and are off away together. Puck and Lauren are still together and are actually engaged now. Tina and Mike are spending their summers with family. But through everything we have all come through it all stronger and happier then before. Now we are stood waiting for graduation to begin, Rachel is stood next to me so I grab her making her smile and kiss my cheek.

"And now to sing one final song, two time national champions – The New Directions class of 2012" We all smile at each other before stepping out onto the stage for one final time.

Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together, together come on let's do this right

We all sing and dance on the stage, and as normal now, the rest of school joins in. One of the biggest changes of the past year is the status of the New Direction's members.

Here and now it's time for celebration
I finally figured it out
(yeah yeah)
That all our dreams have no limitations
That's what it's all about
(yeah yeah)

Puck has taken over the male lead, since Mr. Shue kicked Finn out.

Everyone is special in their own way
We make each other strong (
we make each other strong)
Were not the same
Were different in a good way
Together's where we belong

Brittany sounds so amazing, Rach has really relaxed when it comes to getting the lead.

We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
We're all in this together
And it shows
When we stand
Hand in hand
Make our dreams come true

Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together, together come on let's do this right

We're all here
and speaking out with one voice
we're going to rock the house
(YEAH YEAH!)
the party's on now everybody make some noise
come on scream and shout

We've arrived because we stuck together
Champions one and all.

Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on lets have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together, together come on let's do this right

By the time we get to end of the song, we are almost in tears. Despite going on to bigger and brighter things, we will still miss this. We have planned to stay in touch with each other, but it will never be the same again. And that thought breaks my heart.


I am at Rachel's, she is at dance class, but I need to talk to her dads. We are currently sat at the kitchen table, they are sat together, opposite me. I am nervous as hell. "Mr and Mr Berry, I know you both know about mine and Rachel's relationship. And I want you to know, I love your daughter more than anything in this world and I want to spend forever with her. So I am here to ask both of you, for your permission to ask Rachel to marry me," I say barely above a whisper. I look up and they are just sat looking at me with massive grins on their faces.

"Well Leroy, it looks like you owe me $20." Hiram says laughing, looking at his husband. "Quinn, we would be an honour if you married our daughter. You make her very happy, anyone could see that. Now down to important things... Do you have a ring?" He asks with squeak.

I blush slightly looking down, slipping my hand in my pocket, "well the thing is, I really hoped you'd say yes, so I have a ring and a plan all sorted out." I reply, placing the box on the table.

GLEEGLEEGLEE

I've taken Rachel to the park we had our first date, I've set a blanket down on the floor, with candles all around me and vegan food prepared. I take her hand and help her down, before kneeling on the blanket and looking deep into Rachel's eyes as I start to sing.

You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
You're always on my mind, in my heart
In my soul

I wipe away the tears that are building in my eyes.

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'
No one needs you more that I need you

She smiles at me, taking my hands and kissing them softly, I smirk lightly at her. She looks so amazing.

And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

You're the meaning in my life
You're the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
You're the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin'

I can't but start to worry as the song begins to draw to an end. What is she says no?

No one needs you more that I need you
And I know, yes I know that it's plain to see
We're so in love when we're together
And I know that I need you here with me
From tonight until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Always on my mind, in my heart in my soul

As I finish I kiss her softly smiling against her lips. As I pull back and see her eyes are still closed, I take the chance to pull out the engagement ring, she gasps slightly as her eyes open.

"Baby, I love you, so much. We have been through a lot in the past year, and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Marry me?" I ask, she sits looking at me with a blank expression.
