I'm rushing out of the elevator doors, heading straight to the lobby with Santana right behind me. I knew I shouldn't have listened to her when she said "just ten more minutes Rach" because the next thing I know I'm opening my eyes to a clock that says eight ten in big red number.

"Hurry up Santana" I scold her. It's already eight thirty two. Not only are we late for meet up we are two minutes late for the run through and I hate being late.

"I'm coming. I'm coming" We turn the corner and stop dead in our tracks when we see the whole glee club turn to stare at us.

"So nice of you to join...Rachel what happened to your lip" Mr. Schue asks me little concerned and I quickly cover my mouth. "Rachel?"

"There was a tiny accident" I tell him after I lower my hand from my face. "But I'm fine" Mr. Schue sighs. He doesn't look happy. I told Santana he wouldn't be happy.

"If you're fine please explain to me why you're so late then? Why you're both so late. I told you meet up was at eight sharp"

"We..." Santana elbows me. "I mean... I just...I over slept"

"You overslept?" Mr. Schue sounds a little surprised like if I'm not capable of oversleeping. I am! I can over sleep if I want too. "Did you not get the morning wakeup call I had the hotel send everyone?"

"I...I..." I can't get the words out of my mouth. I did get the call but that's when San told me ten more minutes and well we know what happened with that. Mr. Schue keeps staring at me and I don't know what to tell him so I just look down. I can hear him sigh and I know he's disappointed. "I'm sorry" I whisper. I don't like disappointing people.

"I thought you'd be a little more responsible and not just ignore the wakeup call" He tells me and I just keep my head down and frown.

"Lay off it was my fault we're both late" I hear Santana say and I lift my head to look at her. "I called the front desk last night to cancel her call. I wanted to wake her up but I went back to sleep after I got my early as hell call"

"You weren't supposed to go back to sleep after the call Santana. I made sure you all got calls for a reason"

"Well some of us don't need an hour to wake up and get ready"

"What would have happened if you didn't wake up till the very last minute? You could have cost us Nationals" Santana rolls her eyes.

"I really doubt you would have let me and especially Rach sleep through Nationals. If we weren't down here in another five, ten minutes someone would have came up and got us"

"And what if no one came to get you?" Mr. Schue challenges San.

"Then it would have been your fault for losing Nationals not mine" Santana snaps back and I take a big gulp. I didn't realize Nationals was that big of a deal for everyone. I know this club has struggled in the beginning years but they won last year. I thought this year they would be a little more relaxed about it but the way these two are fighting you would think it was a live or die situation.

"Will, I think it's time to get going. It's getting late" Ms. Pillsbury cuts in but Mr. Schue and Santana continue to stare at each other until Ms. Pillsbury pulls him away and I take San's hand in mine pulling her closer to me. "Come on everyone. Let's head to the bus" We all start walk across the lobby to the bus outside when I hear Noah behind me.

"You're full of bruises today aren't ya princess?" I stop to look at him and he has a smirk on his face as he wiggles his eyebrows.

"What?"

"Your neck" He tells me and start touch my neck everywhere but I don't feel anything on it other than it being a little tender in a certain spot. "I think you two were doing a little more than just oversleeping" I try looking down at my neck but of course I can't see anything.

"What is it? What's on my neck?" I ask Santana and she leans in and whispers in my ear and my eyes go wide. She touches my neck in the spot where she left her love bite and I cover it with my hand and smack her across the arm with the other.

"Hey that hurt"

"Good! I told you not to mark me"

"I didn't mean too and you're not the only one with something on you" I give San a confused look before she lifts up her shirt and lowers her shorts a bit to reveal a small mark on her hip bone.

"Damn! I really wish I was in that room with the two of you" Noah says and both Santana and I roll our eyes.

"Rachel, Santana, Puck let's go" Mr. Schue yells and just as we are about to start moving a really loud WAIT is heard from the other side of the lobby. We turn and see Tina rushing towards us dragging her bag as she tries to put her jacket on.

"Don't leave without me"

"Did you guys know she was missing?" Santana asks Noah and he just shrugs.

"Tina?" Mr. Schue comes over as Tina reaches us and falls forward with her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath.

"I'm sorry…I'm late….my phone….doesn't work"

"Weren't you with Mike?" Tina stands up straight and glares at Mr. Schue.

"Just because we are both Asian doesn't mean we're dating each other or know where the other is at. Although I do find Mike very attractive we don't really talk other than when we are in glee club" Tina storms away and heads for the bus outside.

"Look who's not only irresponsible but very racist" Santana tells Mr. Schue and I see him press his lips together.

"Uh...let's go to the bus" I push Noah forward and grab Santana's hand dragging her away towards the bus outside.

We arrive at the Neal S. Blaisdell Concert Hall and suddenly I feel sick. Then again I always feel sick before these competitions.

"Last one and then you never have to do this ever again well until college" Santana tells me and I give her a small smile. I haven't told her yet that I'm not applying to NYADA. I haven't told anyone really. I know Mr. Schue and my daddy are really excited about me going and my future possibilities on Broadway but I just don't think that school or the Broadway life is right for me. I just can't imagine me singing and dancing for the rest of my life.

"Alright everyone, gather around" Mr. Schue shouts at everyone. "Even though we didn't get to do a run through like I planned" He stares at me and Santana. "I have a good feeling about today and I would like to give my speech to you all now because unlike Sectional and Regional's I won't have time to do it right before" Mr. Schue takes a deep breath and looks a little teary eyed.

"Mr. Schue, are you going to cry?" Tina asks.

"I...uh...I'm really trying not too but I'm just really proud of all of you. We've come a long way since we started this club. We failed miserably the first year came close the second year and finally won last year. I also know a lot of us within this club fight and argue and even slushie each other but we're a family. When we're in our choir room or when we go out to these competitions we have each other's back. My lower class I hope we get to this point next year but for my seniors this is it for us, our last competition together. After this glee club will just be a memory. So when they call our name let's give it our all and have fun. But most of all let's bring the title back to McKinley once again" The glee club cheers.

"Let's tear this shit up" Noah says as he puts his arms around mine and Santana's neck and the three of us and the rest of the glee club walk towards the building doors and compete for what would be McKinley's second National championship and my first.

"San what's going to happen when we graduate?" I ask as I lay between her legs with my back into her chest. It's our last day in Hawaii and we thought we'd spend it on the beach together without the rest of the club.

"I don't know. What do want to happen?"

"I don't know" I say softly.

"Okay, tell me what was supposed to happen. I know you probably had your high school, college and after college life all planned out before you moved so let me hear it" I push back into her and she chuckles as she wraps her arms around me and hugs me tight.

"Jerk"

"It's true though. So tell me, what was supposed to happen?" She places her chin on my shoulder and I sigh because she's right. I did have everything planned out.

"I was supposed to finish high school at my old school for starters" I begin to tell her. "Get straight A's and maybe join the tennis team"

"Tennis?" Santana questions before letting me go and laughing hysterically. I move out of her legs and glare at her.

"What's wrong with Tennis?"

"Tennis is lame and for losers"

"It's not. Tennis is a very mature sport and the only one that doesn't require physical violence"

"You're such a dork"

"You know you keep calling me a dork when in fact you're the one in glee club. Have you ever thought about glee club being lame and for losers?"

"Nope"

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm in it and when I'm in something it's no longer lame, it's fantastic" I roll my eyes.

"Anyways, besides my perfect grades and tennis I was going to apply to four schools and Sara was going to apply to the same ones and whichever schools we both got into that's where we were going to go for college"

"Why only four?" I shrug. "So what four schools were you applying too?"

"Ohio State, Columbia, Manhattan College and NYU"

"You want to be in New York don't you?" I nod my head yes.

"Yeah I do. When my dads took me on that mini vacation during winter break I fell in love with the place even more and now I can't wait to live there"

"Well nothing will change you can still apply to those schools plus NYADA"

"I don't want to go to NYADA" I tell her as I lower my head. I feel her fingers on my chin as she lifts my head back up to meet her eyes.

"Then don't go"

"But..."

"But nothing, if you don't want to go then don't go"

"You're not mad?"

"No. Why would I be?" I shrug.

"Everyone really wanted me to go to that school"

"I want you to be happy Rach and if the school or the thought of that school doesn't make you happy then don't go" I smile and kiss her lips.

"Where do you want to go to college?"

"I don't really know yet. UCLA, Seattle, Las Vegas. Haven't really made up my mind yet but I know I'll be applying to more than just four schools" She tells me with a smile.

"Oh" I frown a bit and her smile disappears.

"What?"

"Nothing" I tell her with a small head shake.

"It's because none of my schools I mentioned are in New York huh" I shrug. "I can apply to schools there too you know"

"But what if we don't get into the same school?"

"Then we'll just go to different schools"

"But that's not what I want"

"Uh oh watch out world Rachel Berry isn't getting her way" I glare at her.

"You're such a jerk sometimes" I get up to leave and I feel her hand wrap around my wrist and she pulls me back down.

"Wait, I'm sorry. I'm an ass" I just stare at her clearly unhappy. "I'm sorry. But really, you have to stop sweating the little stuff. So what if we don't go to the same school or even live in the same state? It's not permanent, just a temporary thing. We'll be okay"

"How do you know? I couldn't even keep a long distance relationship going being just two hours away. How do you expect me to keep one going if we're states away?"

"I love you and you love me so that's how we're going to make it work" I glare at her, like I haven't heard that before. "Stop what you're thinking. What happened between you and Sara won't happen to us. Our relationship is different"

"I really hate when you know what I'm thinking" She smirks at me.

"Can we please stop fighting and planning the future? I want to enjoy our last day here. When we go back home and after Puck's victory party he's having for glee club we can discuss the future but I can tell you right now everything will be okay"

"But…"

"Do you trust me?"

"You know I do"

"Then trust me when I say everything will be okay" Santana leans in to kiss me sweetly before pushing me onto my back so that's she on top of me. I close my eye losing myself in the moment when I hear Santana scream and then fell nothing but water dripping on me. I open my eyes and San's hair is forward and dripping wet.

"Those fuckin assholes" Santana gets up from me and looks around. I sit up and see Noah and Sam taking off down the beach. "They're dead" She takes off after them yelling in Spanish and I can't help but laugh.

"Those two are dead when she catches them"

"I don't know. I think Sanny fell for their trap" I hear Brittany say as she sits down next to me.

"Trap?" Brittany points and that's when I see the boys lead San into the water. I watch as Noah suddenly stops running making Santana run into him. He wraps his arms around her taking her deeper in the water before he practically body slams her into the water. He's so dead later.
