A/N This is my first fic, so go a little easy on me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, the characters on it, Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith, or Katy Perry's "Thinking of You".

Rachel had finished singing the classic tune "Don't Wanna Miss a Thing", trying to convince the group that it would be a perfect ballad for this years Sectionals. After singing the last note, Rachel looked at her peers. All of them had to clap for her, but Rachel knew only some of them meant the applause.

"Excellent job, Rachel." Mr. Schue praised the star in the making. Rachel gave a faint smile towards her director and took a seat in the front row. "Any other suggestions?" Mr. Schue asked, looking around the room.

There was just silence, but their eyes said it all. No one else had any ideas, well at least not yet, anyway. Will clapped his hands together and smiled at his students. "I guess that's it for rehearsal today. Keep searching for more songs guys. See you next week! "

Once Mr. Schuester dismissed them, they left without hesitation. They all left in pairs, Kurt Mercedes, Puck and Quinn, Matt and Mike, Tina and Artie, Santana and Brittany, and last but not least Finn and Rachel. Finn grasped Rachel's hand as they strolled out in the hallway. That's right, Finn got his wish of having Rachel Berry as his girlfriend. The two have been together for the past year, since Regionals. Everything had been going great, well at least Finn thought so. They haven't had any arguments yet, though Rachel had been acting strange lately. She had seemed so depressed this school year. As if all of her confidence from last year had just drifted away into the wind.

"You did an amazing job today, Rachel." He complimented his girlfriend.

"No, I was flat. It was obvious, everyone noticed." She admitted, sighing. Since Finn only heard the song twice, both in a movie, he couldn't tell if Rachel was flat during the song.

"Rachel is something wrong? You've been acting so…" He paused thinking of the appropriate word to use. "…not yourself since we started dating." Finn didn't notice that she was flat, but he did notice that something was wrong with her.

"I'm fine." Rachel said faking a smile. She continued to walk, but she was stopped by Finn's grasp.

"Rachel, I don't want any secrets between us. If there's something wrong, I want you to tell me. I want to be there for you Rachel." Finn said sincerely. He grabbed both of Rachel's hands, and rubbed his thumbs on the back of her soft hands. Then leaned in for a kiss, which Rachel had given him. As soon she felt the kiss get deeper, she pulled away.

"I-I gotta go. I'll call you later." Rachel stormed off in a hurry, feeling guilty of leaving Finn alone in the hallway.

The truth was, even though Finn and her have been dating for a while now, Rachel still had feelings for Jesse St James. Sure, Jesse had egged her and hurt her, but she still loved him, even if he didn't feel the same way. There was something special about Jesse, which was why Rachel could never hate him. Every time Finn kissed her, she thought of Jesse's soft lips pressing against hers. Every time she'd look into Finn's eyes, she thought of Jesse's blue eyes. Rachel had always liked Finn. He was a nice guy, not the brightest when it comes to show choir and Broadway, but nice. The only problem was Finn Hudson wasn't Jesse St James, he would never be. Which was why Rachel had been so upset, she wanted Jesse St James, not Finn Hudson. As much as she wanted that traitor, she couldn't have him. The first reason being because she was with Finn, the second being, that Jesse was all the way in California.

Rachel then made it to her car and opened the door, sliding into the driver's seat. While she drove to her house, she thought if it would be best to break up with Finn until she got things settled. Rachel shook her head in disagreement to her own thoughts. Finn loved her and she loved him. He was there to comfort Rachel in her time of need. Finn had made her feel at peace, after what had happened during Regionals. There was no way she could break his heart like that.

All of her thinking made the car ride to her house seem shorter. Rachel jumped out of the driver's seat and closed the car door shut. Her eyes made contact with a familiar black SUV that was parked across the street. Rachel gave a light giggle, her thoughts were getting the best of her. Someone with the same car as Jesse was probably visiting a neighbor. Yeah, that seemed believable. Besides, Jesse was in California at UCLA, there was no way he was here in Ohio.

Hearing nothing but silence when she entered the house, Rachel assumed that her dads went out to the grocery store. Rachel had a ton of homework that was due tomorrow, so she thought it would be best to get that done and out of the way. Plus it would distract her mind from certain subjects for a few hours. So she jogged up the stairs with her bag and books. When making it to her room, Rachel turned the doorknob and opened the door wide open.

Rachel jumped up in shock seeing who was on her bed.

"Hey Rachel." He said, giving his signature smirk.

"Jesse, what are you doing here?" Rachel asked. She couldn't believe it. Jesse St James, the Jesse St James was in her room, sitting on her bed.

Depending on how many people review, I'll put up the next chapter.
