Thanks for sticking with me guys! This is the last chapter!

22-year-old Rachel Berry stared at herself in the mirror.

She had graduated with honors from NYADA with Kurt. She got a callback on her first audition for Broadway, but she ended up not getting the part. She was surprisingly okay with it. She knew you couldn't win everything.

The next week, she heard there were open auditions for the musical, Evita. For her audition she sang Don't Cry For Me, Argentina, a song that was close to her and Kurt's hearts.

The next week they called to ask her to play Eva. She made it onto Broadway.

After months and months of rehearsing and getting to know her cast mates, she knew this was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. And it wasn't even opening night yet.

Of course, all of her late-night rehearsals and dinners and press interviews with her cast mates put a damper on her relationship, but it didn't end it.

Her and Noah have been dating for 4 years now. They dated all through college, him attending NYU and her attending NYADA. She didn't know what she would do without him. He always supported her and he was always there for her.

And she knew she would dedicate this performance, her first performance on a Broadway stage, to him.

Everyone had come to watch.

Mr. Schuester, Mrs. Pillsbury-Schuester, Shelby, Beth, Finn, Quinn, Kurt, Blaine, Sam, Mike, Tina, Mercedes, Joe, Sugar, Santana, Artie, Brittany, Rory, Noah, her dads, Noah's mom and sister, and Burt and Carole. Even Matt came! And she hadn't spoken to him since the summer after sophomore year! She smiled knowing that they were all in the front row waiting for her to blow them away like they all knew she would.

Usually, it would make her nervous because of them all being there, but it brought her comfort knowing that things from high school never really changed. Her whole Glee club was sitting down there waiting for her to sing her solo. It made her smile.

But that wasn't even the best part. Jesse St. James and her became really close after Nationals. Not relationship close, but friendship-wise. He was the producer of Evita and the stage hand.

Everyone she loved was here.

Jesse came into her dressing room. "10 minutes 'til showtime Rach." He smiled at her.

Rachel was already in her costume and make-up, just staring at herself in the mirror.

Rachel whispered, "What if I mess up just like I did on my NYADA audition?"

Jesse sighed. "Rach, we've been over this, you're not going to mess up, okay?"

Rachel took deep breaths. "Okay."

She looked over her shoulder at Jesse and smiled.

Jesse looked at his watch. "Come on Rach, we better get going."

She nodded, took his offered arm, and made her way to the side of the stage.

P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~P&R~

She killed it, of course. Well, at least, that's what everyone's been telling her. She received a standing ovation at the end of the show. She milked the spotlight, blowing kisses and waving into the crowd. She laughed as she stepped off the stage. Noah was in the wings, waiting for her. She ran to him and jumped into his arms. He caught her and spun her around, kissing her on her temple. She giggled.

"Come on my Eva, we better get you out of your costume. Everyone wants to see you!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her to her dressing room where she got dressed in her normal clothes.

She followed Noah to the front of the theater.

She received a hug from everyone. Santana gave her a kiss on the cheek and a pat on the butt. Rachel just rolled her eyes and hugged her back, while Santana was laughing.

She smiled through her tears. "Thank you all for coming. I know you have better things to be doing than coming and seeing me, but I appreciate it."

Finn walked up to her and hugged. "There's no place we'd rather be, Rach. I'm sorry I ever tried to keep you from getting here."

Rachel hugged him back. "I forgave you a long time ago Finn."

And then Sugar laughed and yelled, "GROUP HUG!"

And in that moment, Rachel didn't think she'd ever felt happier.

Fin.
