Finn watched awkwardly as Rachel made her way down the hallway. He'd made a mistake. The biggest of his life. She was always on his mind. She had rejected him, hard. That only made him want her more. "You don't need her." came the breathy, sultry voice of Santana. "You don't know what I need." Finn replied sternly. "Look Finn, she's just as much of a Lima Loser as you are right now, she dresses like an old grandma and a toddler at the same time, she-"
"Santana, could you shut up for once?" Finn retorted. Santana raised her eyebrow.
"Don't bash on Rachel, alright?" Finn told her, then turned to walk away. "You're just chasing after something you'll never have. She's with that Jesse kid."
Finn stopped, as did his heart. "No she's not." he told her, though it came out as more of a question. "Yes, she is. She was talking about it in the choir room, trust me. She's with Jesse."
"Then she..."
"Lied to you. She's not as naive as you Finnocence.. She's practically doing it with him."
Finn knit his eyebrows together, "I have to go."
He pushed his way through the in-between-class rush, and Santana smiled as she watched him storm off.
Rachel sat in the girls washroom, she was over thinking everything. Like she always did. This wasn't a big deal, her feelings for Finn had to just be friendly ones. I mean he broke her heart, how could she forgive him? How could he want her back, and expect her to just jump into his arms? How did she have the will power not to? It felt like her heart was being ripped violently in two. She felt a tear roll down her face. A real tear. A tear that signified defeat, and hurt. A tear she wasn't used to. She looked down at her black flats, and sighed. She wiped her face and took a deep breath. She unlocked the door to the bathroom stall, and walked over to the mirror. "Finn really likes you, you know."
Rachel turned to see Quinn leaning against the wall. "Well, that doesn't matter." Rachel replied, trying to sound as unconcerned as possible as she pulled a tube of lip gloss from her pocket. "It does though, he can't be blown off like some guy you just met. He's gunna be around, and he's not going to give up. He may be stupid and immature, but he's got a heart of gold, and determination like you wouldn't believe." Quinn told her, "I don't like you, but you helped me tell Finn what I was too chickenshit to, so I'm telling you, Jesse isn't going to be around when you need him most. Finn's going to be the guy by your side."
"Look Finn hurt me, I can't be with or even trust someone like that."
"I understand completely. I'm just saying..." Quinn sighed as she trailed off, looking Rachel in the eyes with an eyebrow raised.
Rachel turned back to the mirror, and smeared lip gloss onto her lips, she looked at herself, only to not recognize the girl staring back. This girl was broken down and defeated, gone was the confident, always cheerful persona she usually wore. "Think about it Rachel," Quinn said, placing her hands on her growing stomach as she turned and left the washroom. Rachel watched her leave, and wondered if Quinn was right.
Finn entered the choir room to see Rachel alone, with a stack of lyrics and sheets of music. "You lied to me."
"Excuse me?" Rachel asked, caught off guard, thinking maybe she'd heard wrong. "Jesse- you're still dating him,"
"Finn, I-"
"No, Rachel. You're a lot of things, but I never thought you'd be a liar, especially to me."
Finn looked at her, His eyes were hard, and he looked hurt. "I didn't mean to, I mean, it's just- I didn't think I could trust you."
Finn's eyes were unreadable. "Trust me?"
"You hurt me, I gave you my heart and you returned it broken and smashed."
"Rachel, do you not see that the Jesse thing isn't just about us. It's about all of us, Jesse could be the end of Glee club as we know it."
"Always so noble to Glee, huh Finn?" Rachel sighed. Maybe she wanted it to be about them. Maybe she wanted him to sweep her off her feet. Maybe she wanted him. "Here," she said, handing him a page of lyrics. "Break Even?"
"By Script. I thought we could work on ballads,"
"Fine." Finn replied, looking down at the page. Rachel watched him, she always watched him. She sighed and turned picking up the sheet music. Rachel handed the sheet music to the band and sat on a stool.
The music began and flowed through the air. Rachel looked at Finn, and began to sing the first verse. She looked at him, really looked at him. He was all hurt and confusion, she could see it in his eyes. He had the most amazing deep brown eyes, you could always tell how felt looking into them.
"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing. Just prayin' to a god I don't believe in."
Her eyes were sad, and her voice soft and beautiful. Finn looked up now, taking in the song, taking in the meaning, taking in Rachel.
"cos I got time and he got freedom, cos when a heart break, no it don't break even."
Her eyes were softening, and the music flew into the next verse. She couldn't help but laugh bitterly in her mind at how true that lyric was, She let her eyes meet Finns.
Finn began;
"Her best days were some of my worst," he sang, "she finally met a man that's gunna hurt her first" he looked at her, begging her to unveil how true that was. "while I'm wide awake, she's got no trouble sleeping"
"cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even" Rachel sang with Finn their voices blending together. Finn looked into Rachel's eyes and felt his heart beat out of time. It always did when she was around. She was beautiful. She was everything every other girl he dated wasn't. She was open and honest, and rarely put him down verbally, unlike Quinn, and she was Quinn's contrast physically. She was pure unlike Santana.
Together they began the chorus. "What am I supposed to do, when the best part of me was always you."
Rachel felt her eyes sting. She wasn't going to cry. She looked at Finn, and somehow the guy that hurt her was gone, it was just the guy who she knew she loved. She always had. So why could't she just be with him. Why did she have to go around making everything complicated. Every time she tried to fix something, she ended up hurting everyone. Especially Finn.
Finn watched Rachel. He could tell she had a million things running through her mind. All he could think about was how he didn't want to be with anyone but her.
He took a step closer to her. She stayed planted to the spot she was in. He got closer. She looked up at him. She stepped forward. He lifted her onto the piano. She continued to sing. Finn smiled. She was beautiful. She really was. Rachel smiled at the sight of him smiling. Finn leaned in and kissed Rachel. Rachel closed her eyes slowly, taking in the emotions. Finn ran his hand through Rachel's long hair. She pulled away and looked him in the eyes. "And we're back where we started." she whispered. Finn looked into her eyes, he couldn't think of anywhere he'd rather be.
Quinn walked down the crowded hallway, trying to weave her way through the crowd. It used to be that people would part like the red sea when I walked down these halls 5 monthes ago. I used to be top shit, I used to be the hottest girl in school. Quinn thought to herself. I used to be respected. Someone bumped into her shoulder. "Watch it." he sneered. Quinn stopped. She turned towards the guy who bumped her. "No. You watch it." she sneered back. "You're not a cheerleader anymore Quinn, you aren't anything." the guy sneered back, a hockey player for Lima's horrible losing streak highschool team. "You're a hockey player, you might as well be too." Quinn told him, holding her head up. "You haven't won one game your entire highschool career." she finished. "Don't think you're gunna get what you had back. Cuz you won't" he replied, Quinn just smiled as she walked away down the hall, still holding her head high. She was going to be that Quinn again.
Kurt was walking on the sidewalk on his way to the cafeteria to eat some of the god awful food the rather large, dirty, cafeteria ladies were preparing. "Kurt!" he heard his name being called. He turned on his heel and faced the person who called him. "Oh, hello Finn,"
"Look Kurt. I know I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I'm going to trust you. You helped me through the Quinn-thing"
"Oh, is it some juicy gossip, I've been running low on entertainment."
"Um, sort of. It's about Rachel. And me."
"Do tell" Kurt said smuggly.
"We kind of ... Made out in the choir room."
"...and?" Kurt asked plainly.
"She's still dating Jesse."
"Hmm, Rachel never really struck me as someone who would... Or even could cheat on someone. But we all knew she loved you."
"Yeah there's the thing. I really like her too, but the whole break up with her thing... Made her start dating Jesse. Probably to make me jealous."
"How cliche."
"But the thing is... I slept with Santana."
"Santana sleeps with everyone."
"Yeah but Rachel still thinks I'm a virgin. I told her I'm a virgin."
"Ah, so there's the dirty little secret."
"Yeah, and I think Santana is going to tell everyone and Rachel will be pissed."
"Mmm, I see. What a dilemma. What are you going to do?"
"I have no idea... What do you think?"
"What does he think about what?" Mercedes chimed in joining the conversation.
"Finn slept with Santana, to make Rachel jealous, but Finn told Rachel he didn't, now Santana might spill the beans."
"Ou, and do we have any plans?"
"Nothing yet" Kurt replied, obviously considering many plans.
"Well Finn probably should not have slept with Santana, that was stupid of him" Mecedes thought out loud.
"Hello, I'm right here." Finn said awkwardly.
"Right. Well maybe we could bribe Santana."
"But I don't have anything on her." Finn sighed.
"Um, hello, Kurt's on the Cheerios and I still have rights, we could get anything we need. Especially from Britany" Mecedes laughed.
"She's not the brightest." Kurt replied.
"So you guys are in?" Finn smiled. Maybe he could save his relationship with Rachel.
"Hold up- what's in this for us?" Mecedes asked.
"Yeah, I don't even like Rachel" Kurt added.
"Helping out a friend?"
"Fine, but you owe us."
"Sounds good,"
Rachel stood in front of the rack of sheet music. "Hey," Jesse whispered in her ear. Rachel jumped. "Do you really have to sneak up on me like that?"
"Well ofcourse."
Rachel had been dreading seeing him. She wasn't sure how to go about breaking up with him. She did have feelings for him.
"What's up, you're making your worried face."
"What? No I'm not."
"Yeah you are. Now tell me what's up."
"I, um, I have to tell you something."
"Like what."
"I um, I kinda of..." Rachel started. "Need help with my ballads." she finished.
"Aweh, you're nervous about singing?"
"...Yeah, I just... Want to be as good as you."
Jesse smiled. Rachel faked a smile.
How could she be stuck in such a horrible situation? How could she be so torn between the guy who broke her heart and the guy who was supposed to be her salvation? How come every second she was with Jesse she could't stop comparing him to Finn? Jesse was perfect, and he loved her.
Mercedes walked down the hall, she felt somewhat naked without her Cheerio's uniform on, she felt... Exposed. When she had that uniform on she was untouchable, now she's back to invisible. Sure being a Cheerio was definitely changing her, but at least she was known, at least she had a reputation. Kurt pulled up beside her, linking arms and keeping pace with her. "And how are you darling?" he asked, "I'm in the dumps Kurt. I can't stop thinkin' about my Cheerio's days." Kurt nodded. He was still on the Cheerios. "Mercedes, may I point out that you're beautiful, intelligent, and you've got a hell of a voice, you shouldn't focus on what Ms. Sylvester was trying to turn you into."
Ofcourse Kurt didn't understand. He still belonged.
"Look Kurt, I know you're trying to cheer me up, but it's only bringing me down." she twisted her arm out of his and walked away. Kurt stood there alone in the hallway. What had gotten into her, he'd never know. He was gay so he didn't have to deal with this girl drama.
Puck strolled down the hallway, he saw Kurt standing alone in the middle of it. Kurt turned and looked sadly at Puck. "Puck, have you ever felt like you were losing someone?"
Puck normally never associated with Kurt, but no one was around, and he deeply knew what Kurt meant. "Yeah I really do."
"Mercedes is acting differently since she quit the Cheerios. Do you know whats up with her?"
"I don't, but I've noticed it, she really has brought out a different side in me tho. She's kinda like this force of nature you know? She's making me a better guy. But lately man..." Puck trailed off. Him and Mercedes were still an item, and Santana was still mad jealous, but really who didn't want to get into his pants? Not to mention the fact that he still had Quinn to think about.
"I'd hold onto her while you still can, she might not be around for long," Kurt sighed before walking towards the door. The farther Kurt got, the more confused Puck became. "What the fuck man?" he said, but Kurt was gone.
Rachel sat in her room, she was reading through all of her sheet music she was trying to organize it. There was a knock on her bedroom door. "Hey," Finn said, walking in. "Your dad let me in, or um, you know one of them. He told me I could come up." Finn continued. "Oh, hey, yeah. So um, what's up?" Rachel asked, her heart was racing. "I just wanted to spend time with you. What're you doing?" he asked. He sat beside her on the bed, and picked up some of the sheet music. "What is all this?"
"This is all the sheet music to every song I've ever performed." Rachel told her, neatly stacking them aside and turning towards Finn. "Now what's the real reason you're here?"
Finn looked up from the sheet music in his hands, and into Rachel's eyes. "I told you."
"Look Finn, from our past experiences, neither of us are very good at relationships, and somehow it always comes down to us. Always. And we've always got this giant load on our backs, and as much as I want to be with you, and as much as you'd like that too, how can I trust you when you broke my heart?" Rachel asked. She had clear tears filling her eyes, but he knew she wouldn't let them fall until he was gone. Finn felt a guilty drop in his stomach.
"Because, I know you better then anyone else in Glee, I know you better than Jesse. I know that your favorite color is pink, , you bite your lip when you talk, and you always type complete sentences when you're texting people, grammar included. You have a freckle on your neck in the shape of a heart, and you hate your ears, but I think they are the cutest thing in the world, you favorite song is Don't Rain on My Parade, and you secretly adore Britney Spears." Finn said all in one breath. Rachel now had tear streaming down her face, and the corner of her mouth was cocked upwards. "I love you Rachel. I always have." Finn finished. Rachel looked into his eyes, and Finn stared back into hers. Finn leaned forward and pressed his lips to Rachel's, and put his hand on her waist. Rachel kissed him back, resting her hands on his thigh. He slipped his hands under her shirt. Rachel stopped. She pulled away and looked him in the eyes. "Are we going to..."
"If you want to..."
"Do you have..."
Finn pulled his wallet out of his back pocket and pulled a condom out.
"I love you too." Rachel smiled. Feeling high on life, she never wanted something so bad.
Finn smiled back. He wanted Rachel, he loved her.
"Could you like not freak out at me for two seconds?" Puck screamed. "I'm having a baby in less then two months and you want me to not freak out?" Quinn yelled back, she was getting aggravated. "Not just a baby. Your baby. You should be freaking out too Puck."
"I can't, I can't do anything, I have all the blame and can't do shit all about it!"
"Sometimes I wish you'd be alittle more like-"
"What? Like Finn? The one who freaked out and didn't do anything for you?"
"Atleast he cared."
"Cared? You think I don't care? Think about it Quinn, think who's still here," Puck said.
Quinn closed her eyes, her world was crumbling. She could feel it all slipping through her fingers. She just needed to fight with someone, and Puck was the perfect target. She always said how this baby was ruining her life, how it changed everything, but she loved it. She did. She felt the baby growing in her stomach, every kick, every moment, she loved it more. Was it wrong she wanted to give it away? She couldn't ruin the child's life because she made a mistake. She clutched her stomach, and turned. She went upstairs to her room without another word, and left Puck standing alone. Like she always did. Puck fell back onto a chair and put his face into his hands. He needed a friend, he needed Finn back. Since the whole Quinn thing happened, they hadn't really spoken, it was a sore spot. Puck wanted his best friend, sure he had other friends, but him and Finn were different. He needed to make things right again. He sighed and got up to grab a beer from the fridge.
Santana sat on the floor in her room in front of her full length mirror. She gazed at herself in the mirror. She was flawless, she had voluptuous, shiny black hair, she was thin, and she had a pretty face, but what Santana wanted, she could not have. She wanted a boyfriend who'd treated her right, who loved her. She wanted what Quinn and Puck had, what Rachel and Finn had. She wanted boys who chased girls they loved. The only things any guy chased her for was sex. She wanted Finn, and she was going to get him. He knew how to treat a girl. Sure he was dumb as a stump but hooked to his arm she could gain what she never had, she could crush Rachel and maybe even get a glee club solo. She'd never admit it, but she wanted one, badly. Santana was queen bee, and she was going to get exactly what she wanted. No matter what. Santana had a sort of fetish for Finn's innocence. Santana liked that, she liked that he would fight for what he wanted, she wanted for him to want her. She thought that taking his virginity would do this, but no. It meant nothing to him. As did she.
Finn was driving home, he felt his heart beating crazily. He pulled over, and turned his keys. He dropped his head onto his steering wheel. He almost had sex with Rachel. She'd wanted to, but he couldn't do it. It wasn't right. She was still dating Jesse, and he couldn't do that. Rachel would never forgive herself. They were intensely making out and his shirt had been thrown to the ground, and her skirt was closely followed, when he stopped himself. "Wait," he said. Rachel pulled her face away, one eyebrow cocked. "What's wrong Finn..."
"We can't do this," he told her, picking up his shirt.
"what do you mean, you told me you loved me, i thought you meant it."
"i didn't mean it like that though!"
"So you don't love me,"
"what, no, ofcourse i do, i just-"
"get out."
"Rachel wait, i just don't want it to happen like this,"
"Stop playing with my head Finn, you keep screwing me over, you keep breaking me!" she yelled.
"I'm sorry Rachel."
with that he slipped on his shirt and walked out.
He'd fucked up. He committed verbal-suicide, and Rachel was most likely never going to talk to him again.
Headlights shone behind his vehicle, and he looked up, to see the headlights turn off, and someone walk up to his vehicle. "Finn, what are you doing you dumbass?"
"Puck?" Finn asked confused.
"Yeah it's me, who'd you think it was god? We're often confused for eachother, that and chuck norris,"
Puck said sarcastically. He looked at Finn, he looked broken and lost.
"S'matter man? What happened?"
"Rachel happened. I happened, i screwed myself over, why am i such a failure?" Finn cursed punching his steering wheel.
"Come out and sit with me." Puck told him, opening his car door, Finn looked up at him, but did as he was told. "Why are you here?" he asked as he followed Puck to the back of his pickup truck. He pulled down the hatch, and climbed up, they sat facing eachother. "I came to find you, we need to talk." Puck replied.
"About what?"
Puck handed Finn a beer, and cracked one open for himself. "About where we went wrong."
Finn looked at Puck, he figured this would come eventually, he opened his beer, simultaniously they took a huge swig from the bottle. This was going to be a long night.
Rachel sat on her bed, her legs crossed. What was she thinking, she almost had sex with Finn. She believed him again, and he hurt her. Although things were going pretty fast. Too fast? Was she really ready to make that kind of bond? She couldn't do it with Jesse. oh. My. God. JESSE. Was that why? Did Finn not want to because? She totally forgot about him. Her boyfriend. She'd almost cheated. She had cheated. Was she a horrible person? Yes. Yes she was. Finn was just looking out for her. She whipped her phone out, and quickly texted him,
Finn, i am SO sorry about how i got mad at you, i realize that you were just looking out for me, i forgot about Jesse, i just wanted us.
She awaited a reply, but it never came. Was Finn really that mad? She slept with her phone under her pillow that night, in anticipation for a reply.
Finn and Puck sat in the pickup, empties askew. Finn popped the top off of another beer. "How much do you have man?" he asked incredulously. "As much as we need."
"What happened with Quinn man," Finn asked suddenly.
"I loved her. I really did. Do." Puck told him, he looked in front of him- gazing at the stars. "But she never even looked at me, and she was with you. I would've done it whether it was you or anyone else. But since it was you, i got to spend more time with her, even just alittle. One day well we hung out, i got her drunk on wine coolers, and we had started making out. I told her it wasn't just another hook up for me. She believed it." Puck paused and turned towards Finn, whose face was unreadable. Puck continued. "Making out turned into sex. I guess the protection broke or something because soon after i found out she was preggo. Then when she lied about it, i didn't know what to do."
"Neither did i." Finn interjected. "I was pulling away from her. I didn't know how to handle her, and she was being clingy, and just being mad at me all the time- she wasn't being Quinn."
Puck sighed, "Exactly, man that girl fucked us over." Puck laughed. Finn looked at him, "i almost had sex with Rachel." Finn said in the most monotone voice he could've been a machine. "Waitago bud"
Puck smiled, "finally pickin up."
"I didn't do it though, she's still dating Jesse. She lost her virginity to him, and i lost mine to Santana, and lied to Rachel about it." Finn explained.
"Oh. You did Santana? Didn't think you had that in you." Puck paused.
"Funny how i always manage to fuck myself over eh?"
"Naw, i think this might pull through." Puck told him, "what time is it anyway?"
Finn pulled out his phone, 1:34 AM. "It's 1:30" then Finn noticed he had a missed text. He opened it, it was from Rachel.
"DUDE."
"what?"
"I think Rachel is giving me another chance"
"You'd better not fuck this one up Hudson"
"Watch your mouth Puckerman,"
The boys laughed, and clinked beer bottles, taking another huge swig.
The boys were back.
Quinn sat in her room, holding her stomach, listening to music softly. The clock read 1:30 AM and Puck still wasn't home. Did she really take it too far this time? She picked up her brush from beside her, and started to run it through her long golden locks. She knew she was a bit hard to handle, but she loved him, he knew that. She was having his baby after all. Ofcourse she wasn't keeping it, and the fact that Mercedes is dating her baby-daddy, didn't help. Quinn liked Mercedes. She really did, but her and Puck just didn't... make sense. Not that the world made sense anymore. She didn't have parents anymore, she wasn't popular, she lived with her boyfriend, and she lost everything that made her who she was. Yet she didn't mind. Sure it was fustrating, but she was different, she was versatile and she tried her best to adapt. All the felt now was lonely. There was a soft knock on her door. She looked up to see Puck's mom peeking in, "Oh, hello mrs. Puckerman,"
"Hi Quinn, are you okay?"
"Not really, do you know where Noah went?" she asked softly, she never called Puck by his nickname around his mom, she didn't like it. Quinn liked Noah too.
"Not sure, but he'll be back sweetie, he always is" Sweetie. Puck's mom never called her that. I guess she just understands, with Puck's dad not being around anymore. His mom walked towards her, and sat on the bed.
"I know, i guess i'm just... sorry. Worried, i really should be nicer to him, you raised a great guy mrs. P"
"I know how you feel, Noah's dad was never around, he basically grew up without him- because of that i'm sure Noah will never do that to your daughter." she gently placed a hand on Quinn's belly.
"Thanks, you're the closest thing i have to a mom right now- i appreciate this."
"Hunny, right now- we all need to stick together. You should get some sleep." Mrs. P smiled politely and got up, shutting the lights and door behind her. Puck wouldn't bail on her or the baby, but the question is whether he'll realize that they need eachother, they need to be together.
Jesse walked up the steps to Rachel's house, knocking on the door. No one answered. He twisted the door knob. It slipped open. "Rachel?" he called out, no answer. He then heard upbeat pop music playing upstairs, and smiled. He walked up to her bedroom and knocked on the open door, Rachel looked over to see Jesse at her bedroom door. "Jesse? How did you...?"
"door was open"
"You walked into my house?" Rachel asked surprised.
Jesse walked in her room. "You aren't happy to see me?"
"What, no, no- i mean it's great you're here."
Jesse leaned in and kissed Rachel on the lips. Rachel let him kiss her, but made no effort to kiss back. "What's wrong?" Jesse asked, confused as to why Rachel wasn't all over him. She was always all for making out. It was cute.
"I-I don't know if this is working."
"If what's working?"
"Us. If we're working."
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"Jesse, it's not you-"
"Woah, woah woah. Stop- YOU are breaking up with ME? I switched schools, to be in your stupid glee club, and put up with all your stupid friends, i left vocal adrenaline Rachel."
"I know." Rachel said quietly, ignoring the "stupid friends" aspect.
"You didn't even have sex with me."
"I don't know what that has to do with anything."
"I loved you Rachel."
"I loved you too!"
"No, you used me."
"Jesse please."
"I was you're one shot at regionals, at making it big. I'm going places Rachel. My dreams, they're bigger than this, and their bigger than you."
Rachel considered this. He was right. He could be beneficial to her future.
"You're absloutely right."
Jesse pulled her in pressed his lips firmly against hers. Rachel didn't fight him. She didn't resist. She moved her lips against his.
Finn woke up, in the back of Puck's pick up. He smiled, he was going to get Rachel, and he had his best friend back. "Morning Hudson."
"Puckerman," Finn got up and felt all the blood rush to his head which now killed. He grabbed his acheing head. "You're such a lightweight." Puck laughed handing him an asprin. "Thanks" Finn said as he took it and swallowed it down. "I'm going to see Rachel."
"Atta be Hudson." Puck slapped him on the back.
Finn went to his car, and started it, driving back onto the street, turning it towards Rachel's house.
As he arrived, he noticed that Rachel's dad's weren't home. But the light in her room was on, he smiled, and snuck up to her room. He stopped infront of her door. He could here her pop music playing loudly. He opened the door. His heart stopped. Jesse was all over her, his hands up her shirt and his lips open and moving on hers. Rachel's eyes flung open, "oh sh-"
"Fuck you Rachel."
He walked in, pulled Jesse off of her and punched him in the face. Jesse fell to the ground, grasping his face. "I believed you. Fuck this, fuck YOU. I'm done." Finn blurted out, kicking her chair. "Finn wait!" Rachel cried, getting up and moving towards the door.
"I'm done waiting, I'm done with you." he spat. Rachel stayed where she was, and watched as he left her house, slamming the door.
"Is that why you were going to leave me?"
"Jesse, i think you should leave." Rachel whispered. She wasn't crying, she couldn't. She was in shock. She felt her heart cracking. Jesse picked himself off the ground. "Good job Berry." Rachel said to herself as she heard Jesse close her front door.
