Hi all, here is chapter 14, I am immediately uploading chapter 15 and the Epilogue along with this so don't forget to check those out as well. I want to keep this brief. If you haven't heard Melissa Benoist's version of Moon River, go listen to it, it is amazing. Also the title of the musical that Rachel won best actress in a leading role was called Jane Austin Sings, which you will see mention of.

Alright, enjoy!


Marley POV

Marley was walking out of her 'acting for singers' class, happily humming a showtune as she walked. It had been a crazy couple of years, she and Sebastian each had one year left to go at school. Rachel had quit Funny Girl, but her pilot failed in Hollywood, she, Kurt, and Blaine had gone back to McKinley and restarted the Glee club, Dalton becoming part of that Glee club since the academy burned down. Kurt and Blaine had broken up but were back together now and married along with Santana and Brittany. Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine were all back in New York, Rachel was allowed back in to NYADA after she walked away from it, Kurt had graduated and was working full time with Isabelle Wright at and Blaine was working on graduating from NYU. Wade and Kitty had moved to New York, so she saw them at least once a week. Jake was studying at the Joffrey School in Chicago, and Ryder had gotten a football scholarship to Penn State.

Everything was going better than she could have hoped.

"Marley Rose?"

She looked up as someone called her name. "Yes?" She looked at the guy standing before her.

He held out his hand, a bit of a smarmy smile in place. "I'm Jesse St. James." He said. "Rachel Barry told me I could find you here."

She reached out and shook his hand.

Marley found Sebastian sitting in one of the recording studio rooms at NYU. He had headphones on, listening to a track play, making small adjustments on the board. She smiled and walked up, wrapping her arms around him and giving him a big kiss on the cheek.

He jumped a little startled, but smiled when he saw it was her, easily grabbing her by the waist and pulling her onto her lap making her giggle. "Hi." He said pulling the headphones off with one hand.

"Hi." She said grinning. "You'll never believe what happened on the way over here."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

"You remember Jesse St. James, the guy from Vocal Adrenaline who dated Rachel?" She asked.

"They guy everyone referenced when we first started dating?" He asked.

She nodded. "Well, he was doing a Broadway show here." She said. "But I guess he wants to get in to directing. He sought me out at school and wanted to know if I would come on to write the music for the show he's working on."

"That's amazing!" Sebastian said wide eyed.

"I told him I would let him know my answer tonight. I'm a little freaked out about it." She said. "I mean, this could be a horrible mistake."

Sebastian smiled. "Marley, you're are one of the most talented lyricists and composers I have ever met. I have no doubt you'll be the one of the youngest composers to win a Tony award." He said.

She smiled but rolled her eyes. "You know most workshops don't even make it to the previews?" She said.

"You know what?" He said easily lifting her off his lap and stood up with her. "You're thinking too hard about this. You need to work on something else."

She watched as he flipped some switches and then complied as he nudged her into the recording booth. "You know, when I said I'd help you with a project for school I didn't think you meant recording something." She said as he handed her some headphones and positioned her in front of the mic.

"We each have to come up with an arraignment for a record that the class is putting together." He said as he went back on the other side of the glass. "Classic Hollywood is the theme. When I saw this song on the list, I knew you had to be the one to sing it."

She put the headphones on. As soon as she heard the music she smiled brightly.

Moon river, wider than a mile

I'm crossing you in style someday

Oh, dream maker

You heartbreaker

Where ever you're going I'm going your way

Two drifters off to see the world

There's such a lot of world to see

We're after the same rainbow's end

Waiting round the bend

My huckleberry friend

Moon river and me

As the music ended, Marley took a deep breath and let it out, feeling so much lighter.

"Perfection!" Sebastian called.

She laughed lightly. "This is really fun. Why did you pick this song though?" She asked.

Sebastian's smile softened. "Right before you and I kissed for the first time, you were sitting on my couch watching Breakfast at Tiffany's and singing this song. It was the moment I knew you were someone I never wanted to lose." He said.

Marley felt tears well up in her eyes. "I can't believe you remember that." She said.

"I remember all of it." He said smiling. He cleared his throat and looked down for a second. "What do you say to running through the song one more time and then going to get some dinner?"

"Sounds great." She said softly.

Sebastian POV

Sebastian walked into the apartment and was immediately caught by the smell of something delicious. Walking in to the kitchen, he saw Marley was dancing around the kitchen, singing some Disney song as she cooked. "Working on your Disney princess image?" He asked setting his backpack down and walking over.

She laughed. "I've been wanting to try out this recipe." She said. "I was hoping to surprise you before you got home."

Home. That word warmed his heart. Marley had moved in with him at the end of the second year, and he loved hearing her call the apartment her home. Their home.

"Can I help?" He asked taking off his jacket and rolling up his sleeves.

"If you just want to put the salad together, then we can eat!" She said as she took the chicken out of the oven. They dished up plates and went to sit on the sofa. "So how was your day?"

"Really interesting." He said setting his plate down as he turned to face her. "What are you planning for this summer?"

She smiled as she faced him, her nose crinkling adorably. "Like the whole summer?" She said laughing. "I haven't thought that far ahead yet. I guess I'll be working on the musical with Jesse since we have previews next month. Why?"

"What would you say to coming with me to London?" He asked.

"What?" She looked confused.

He took her hand, playing with her fingers. "I got offered the chance to go to London for the summer to work under an amazing producer and help work on some big album." He said. "But I would be gone all summer…"

"You have to take it." She said seriously. "Those opportunities don't come around that often, especially when you're in school, you have to go for it."

"But it's all summer." He said leaning his head against the back of the sofa looking at her.

Marley smiled. "And I'm not going anywhere." She replied. "Even if I can't go, you need to. We'll skype, and we'll fly back and forth to see each other as much as we can. We'll be fine." She ran her fingers through his hair gently. "I'm not letting you give up this opportunity because of the miles involved."

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" He asked kissing her.

She giggled. "It never hurts to hear it again." She said kissing him back.

Marley POV

Marley stood at security at JFK with Sebastian. Now that the day was here, she really didn't want to let him go. Thankfully, Blaine and Rachel had agreed to come along for emotional support.

"Be safe." She said. "I love you so much."

Sebastian held her tightly, just as reluctant to let go. "I love you too. I'll call you between flights and when I get to my hotel okay?"

They separated for a minute, so Sebastian and Blaine could shake hands and Rachel could give him a quick hug too.

"I have to go." Sebastian said pulling Marley close for a long kiss. He forced himself to pull away. "I love you!" He said as he walked into the line at security.

Rachel wrapped her arms around Marley, who was smiling though there were tears in her eyes. "You'll see him again soon. He's coming back for opening night and you're going out there soon." She said encouragingly.

"I know." Marley said leaning her head against Rachel's. "It just seems like forever."

"Come on." Blaine said as they watched Sebastian disappear in the crowd of travelers. "Let's go get lunch and you can tell us all about how the show is going."

The time between when he left and opening night for the show was horrible. Marley spent a lot of time either at her dad's or with Blaine and Kurt, or Rachel. Hell, even the time spent with Jesse was less horrible than the oppressive silence in the apartment without Sebastian there.

Opening day was finally here though, and it was going to be a big night. The previews had been amazing and there were a lot of critics there tonight to watch the show.

Marley was backstage running through a few things with Jesse before she had to go take her seat.

"I'm still not convinced this verse is right." Jesse said looking at the showstopper.

"Jesse, we've been over this." Marley said. "The music is fine. I'm not changing it, and if you do, I'm walking, and you can't use any of the music, therefore you have no show."

"Fine." Jesse said. "We'll run it as is. You're getting as bossy as Rachel."

Marley smiled and put a hand on his shoulder. "Jesse, it's going to be great. Deep breath. You did an amazing job." She said just as the cast came forward with the bouquet of roses for him.

As Marley was walking to her seat, she looked up to see the man that she was waiting for. Sebastian was waiting for her with a bouquet of flowers for her and looking incredible, if a little tired from traveling. She ran forward and threw her arms around him as he spun her around. "You made it." She said.

"I wouldn't miss opening night." He said kissing her.

"Come on," she said taking his hand. "We can get caught up after the show, we need to get to our seats."

Everyone else was already there, they exchanged quick greetings before the lights dimmed down.

Sam popped the cork off the bottle of champaign, and everyone raised a glass. The play had been a massive success, but the real proof would be in the reviews tomorrow morning.

"Thank you for coming out everyone." Marley said. "I can't believe we're finally here!"

"I do have to hand it to you." Jesse said, his arm around Rachel. "You were right on keeping the music as it was."

Marley rolled her eyes. "You just over think it all way too much." She said. "We make a good team though."

"Which reminds me I have an idea to run by you." Jesse said.

Marley laughed. "Let the dust settle first St. James." She said and looked up at Sebastian who had his arm around her waist. "Let's enjoy tonight first."

Sebastian pressed a kiss to her forehead.

The next morning, they all gathered together to read the review of the show. It was a rave! The critics were predicting it to be an early contender for a Tony. They praised Jesse's directing choices and the last third of the article talked about Marley.

"The score and lyrics of the show created by Miss. Marley Rose, a completely unknown college student, was the steroid boost that turned this good show into a fantastic one." Blaine read. "Miss. Rose comes from the same high school glee club that spawned Rachel Barry and these powerhouse women have placed that school on the map. I urge you to keep your eyes on this girl as she skyrockets to stardom, I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of her."

Marley covered her mouth in shock. "Oh my god." She said as Sebastian wrapped his arms around her.

There was congratulations all around, but after a while, it was time for Marley and Sebastian to leave.

"Where are you going?" Kurt asked.

"I have to fly back to London in a couple hours." Sebastian said.

Marley smiled. "And I'm going with him." She said.

"What?" Everyone said.

"Since when?" Rachel said.

Marley glanced at her phone. "As of about twenty minutes ago when we confirmed my ticket." She said. "We both agreed that if the show did well and we didn't have to make any major adjustments, then I was going with Sebastian to London to finish out the summer."

They said their goodbyes and before they left, Jesse stopped her.

"I'm emailing you something, look at it and email me from London, okay?" Jesse said.

She nodded.

When they were on the plane back to London, once they were clear to use electronics, Marley opened her laptop and inserted the flash drive. She read through the script that Jesse had emailed her.

"Huh." She said.

"What is it?" Sebastian asked leaning over to see the screen.

She turned it a little to face him and he read the title: Jane Austin Sings
