Let's Make It Last - A Faberry Fanfiction

"Holy crap! That's Rachel Berry!"
Tina run into me, followed by Mercedes, and we hugged!
"Girls! It's so good to see you again!"
"Well yeah, stop acting like if you were 5." Santana said, getting closer and holding Brittany's hand.
"It's nice to see you too, Santana." I said, smiling, and she smiled back. I hugged them, too.
She wasn't there, yet.
"Here's my shiny star!" Artie said, as he saw me walking towards Finn and the other boys - Mike, Sam, Kurt and Blaine.
I greeted them all.
"My Jewish girl!" Puck shouted, running outside of the restaurant's door and lifting me up to the sky.
"She's actually my Jewish girl!" Finn said, hugging his best friend.
I had missed them all and I was so happy to see them again.
We had overcome all of our disparities. We were all laughing and smiling as if we teens again.
"Sorry guys, they couldn't find our reservation. These kind of things always happen when Puck books something."
I turned to the door again. And there she stood.
She had grown up. She was definitely a woman, now.
Her hair was a bit longer, yet still reminded me of sun rays.
And her eyes - still sharp as pieces of glass - caught mines as soon as she opened her mouth.
She didn't make a move, nor even say a word.
"Well, if we're all here, we can come in and eat. I'm starving!" Santana said, breaking the ice, and we all entered the restaurant.
I was the last and she held me the door, before passing in front of me without saying a word.
I sat between Finn and Santana, and she was right in front of me.
And at this point, avoiding her was really hard.
I couldn't focus on nothing. I kept looking down on my meal, trying not to think of her.
"Rachel's studying at NYADA...they're actually exhausting her, she's always tired!" Finn said, talking to Mike.
"And what about you, Quinn?" Mike asked the blondie, but she didn't answer until she got pushed by Kurt's elbow.
"Sorry, I got distracted and I didn't get it, Mike."
I got on faking disinterest.
"I'm attending classes at Yale. Last year, actually. And I'm a member of quite significant importance in the drama club. I'm trying out for the school play, actually."
"And she got a book published a month ago!" Puck said, putting his arm around her.
I looked up and watched her talking.
"Yeah, but this didn't change a thing." She looked at me. "And I actually kinda regret to have it published." She said, finally, and everyone congratulated her.
"Guys, it's 15.45, we've gotta go." Finn said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
Then he got up. "Mr Schue's probably waiting." He added, and then we paid and got out.
Finn, Kurt, Blaine and I got in the same car.
I went to the back seat with Kurt.
"How're you?" He whispered in my ear.
"Fine. Thank you." I said, without even looking him in the eyes.
"Don't lie, Rach. I know you're not fine at all, and that's just because of-"
"Stop it." I said sharply. "Not now, please."
"Fine." He said, and then turned to the window.
"Ok guys, we're here! Damn I'm so excited! We're gonna perform again all together!" Finn said enthusiastically.
He opened me the door and kissed me as I got off the car.
Our fiends arrived a few seconds later and we entered the William McKinley Hight School.
And it felt like the very first time.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. What a mess! I'm a disaster and now I'm gonna be late for sure!"
"You better run, then."

"Look babe! That's your locker!" Finn said, and pointed it.
"And that is mine, over there!" Tina said, pulling Mike to go see it.
Everyone did the same.
I approached to mine and so Kurt did.
"So? Now would you talk to me?"
"Kurt, this is no time." I said.
"Rachel you have to fix this. It's just hurting you. Trying to pretend none of that has ever happened won't change the situation!" He said, almost shouting.
"That's none of you business, Kurt."- I said. -"I've gotta go." And then I moved to the toilet.
I slammed the door and sat down in a corner.
And I couldn't hold my tears anymore.
