Hello: A Show Choir Romance
A/N: This is how I would've have liked Jesse story to go, But I know it would've never happened.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own glee, if I did, Funk would not have ended the way it did :), I also do not own the song "Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love"
Chapter One:
Crap, I'm late for rehearsal. Like I need this, Shelby is going to off at me, and that is NOT a good thing at all. As much as I love Vocal Adrenaline, sometimes, it can become too hard, I mean come on, 2:30 till midnight? Even I, Jesse St James, am not THAT crazy. But I'd never let it show. My whole future relies on this.
***The Next Day***
Thank goodness it Saturday, The only day of the week we don't rehearse, well, We used too until the school was sued for forcing its students to rehearse 7 days a week, So Shelby decided that maybe we should take Saturday s off to get "socialized," I was angry at first, but now I come to look forward to Saturday s just like I used to before I went to Carmel. Today I've decided to go down to the music store, maybe give a impromptu concert, today, I'm thinking of maybe some queen, I do love me a good somebody to love.
Wow, who is that? I think I've seen her face before. Yes. I have, Its Rachel Berry, Lead Vocalist of New Directions, I saw them perform at Sectionals, her club was so-so, but she, She left me breathless with her flawed, but perfect rendition of the classic "Don't Rain On My Parade," Somehow I find myself walking up to her, stupid feet, but I'm happy about it none the less.
"Lionel Richie huh?" She just nods at me,
"You're Jesse St James, Lead Singer of Vocal Adrenaline,"
"And you're Rachel Berry, I saw you perform at Sectionals, Your rendition of "Don't rain on my parade was flawed, you lacked Barbra's emotional depth, but you are talented," She smiles at me. God. That is one heck of a smile, I feel my charm working her over, but I somehow feeling Jesse coming out, not Jesse St James, and I like it.
I start talking to her about how much I love the music store, and suddenly I remember the piano,
"How about we take it for a spin?"
"Here? I'm kind of nervous,"
"I remember when I used to get nervous, Come on, I do this all the time, I like to give impromptu concerts for the homeless, It's so important to give back," Dam. I'm good.
"I don't know if I want to perform Hello, In fact, I have a better idea,"
Was she really telling me which song to perform? This girl was more like me than I thought.
"Oh, Really? What?"
"Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love, It's well within your range, I've also seen you up on stage, I can tell you lack some of my years of training, but you do have quite a lot. I think this song is more entertaining for an outside audience, I know the words off by heart, and one would assume you know it as well, as well as how to play it,"
"You seem to know me well, you a bit of a stalker Berry?"
"Not as much as you seem to be, St James,"
Hello twelve, hello thirteen, hello love.
Changes, ooooh
Down below up above.
Time to doubt
To break out, it's a mess,
It's a mess.
Time to grow, time to go
Hello, hello
Too young to take over,
Too old to ignore,
Gee, I'm almost ready,
But...what...for?
There's a lot I am not certain of.
Hello twelve, hello thirteen, hello love
(lalalala)
Goodbye twelve, goodbye thirteen.
Hello love
Robert Goulet, Robert Goulet, My God, Robert Goulet!
Oh! Down below, up above...
Playing doctor with Evelyn.
La la la
I'll show you mine,
La la
You show me yours
La la
Seeing Daddy, naked
Time to grow.
Time to go...
La la la
Mom and Dad were doing it.
There's a lot, I'm not certain ooooh
Hello twelve, hello thirteen, hello love
Hello twelve, hello thirteen, hello love
I can't stop grinning, I probably look like a dumb love stuck idiot, but let's face it, I am.
"We should do this again,"
"Is that you asking me out?"
"It's me trying, Friday? 8:00?"
"Of Course, See you there, I'd love to stay, but I have to go, see you Friday,"
Today did NOT turn out like I thought it would. I've never really felt this way about a girl before, I mean I'd had tons of girlfriends, but that's all they'd ever be. Girls. They would never be like Rachel. Why am I talking like this, I only JUST met her. But I have a good feeling about her.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it, Please review! Xx
