Note: Glee is not mine! Also, this story is based on another Finchel fanfic called 'Lovesick' by The Minsk. I highly encourage you to read it! So, credits for the inspiration for this story goes to her, because this is my own version of the story. The title for this story is based on 'Beautiful Soul' by Jesse McCartney.
Columbus, Ohio
Rachel Berry thought she had it all. She had a great paying job, a beautiful house to live in, an amazing fiance who gave her anything she wanted, and most importantly, happiness. As she walked into her house, she just couldn't help but smile to herself. She was just so grateful for everything. She was so madly in love with her fiance, Jesse St. James. He just treated her like a princess and made her feel like the most special girl in the world. Coming from the Lima, which is the biggest cow town in Ohio, Jesse made her fit in, he made her feel like she belonged somewhere outside of Lima, and that was an amazing feeling.
Walking into the living room, she didn't care if she just worked a crazy load of hours to get through the day. At the end of it all, she just felt happy. That's all that really mattered. She and Jesse were just getting ready to plan their wedding and she couldn't be more excited. They were currently arranged to get married in a nice 5 star hotel along with an exciting reception. Jesse and his family were taking care of everything. Rachel just knew that everything was going to be picture perfect.
Rachel was studying to be a therapist in the medical field when she first met Jesse. She was a junior in college at the time To her, it was like a match made in heaven. Jesse was 5 years older than her. She remembered when he came to check out the medical field and how people were being educated. She remembers the first time they made eye contact. It was literally love at first sight. Since that one moment, they were legitimately inseparable. Jesse came from a very rich family with a very high medical background. There were times when Jesse acted like a spoiled asshole, but Rachel couldn't care less. She never thought that his stuck up attitude at times is what defined him. She thought he was a good man, but to be honest, Jesse was one of the those guys who was crazy obsessed with money. Spending it, making it, etc. Jesse spoiled her rotten. Rachel became completely different since she started dating Jesse. Jesse bought all these clothes for her that made her look like some kind of business woman and always demanded that she wore them whenever she went out in public. He even offered Rachel a nose job when things started to get serious between them. Okay, Jesse was a little too much at times, but that didn't take away her feelings for him.
Deciding to ignore the doubts running through her mind, she heard footsteps coming to the living room. Rachel put on a big smile feeling a huge amount of excitement to see her fiance. "Hey! I was just thinking about you!" She said lovingly. Ignoring her, Jesse walked to their bedroom quietly, secretly rolling his eyes at Rachel's greeting before plopping down on the bed. Noticing his mood immediately, Rachel frowned but just shrugged it off. It was probably no big deal. He was a doctor after all, he was probably just tired. What Rachel didn't know is that Jesse has completely lost all interest in his relationship with Rachel. He was getting sick of it. Rachel was always talking about what to get for the wedding these days, and he was so damn annoyed. He just decided to completely ignore the good and caring things that Rachel has done for him within the time of their relationship. He needed to end it. He needed to be honest and forthcoming about this. Getting up from the bed, he had to get ready for another meeting. He put on a suit and walked out the bedroom door.
Rachel was filling out papers when she noticed Jesse in his suit getting ready to go. "Jesse, where are you going?" She asked with a little bit of concerned. Jesse had a hand on the doorknob before pausing and taking a deep breath, deciding to just let it all out right now. "Look, Rachel, we need to talk." And that's when fear hit her. She knew that this was not going to be good. "I'm just going to say it, Rachel. I don't want to be your fiancee anymore and I'm calling off the wedding."
She refused to believe it. "I'm sorry, say that again?" Rachel asked, trying to fight back tears coming out of her eyes. "I don't want to be with you anymore, Rachel. There's just too much happening and I just realized all of a sudden that you're not really what I need." He said heartlessly. She just felt nothing but utter confusion and hurt. "But, I thought you loved me." Now she wasn't fighting the tears, she couldn't help herself.
"I'm one of the youngest, highest paid doctors in the city. I have more significant things to take care of. I don't think this relationship is very fitting either way. You just got your degree and you're still trying to find yourself while working in therapy." She couldn't believe the words that was coming out of his mouth right now. "So that's it?! You're just going to throw me to the side because I'm not good enough for you? Because I don't reach your expectations of a good fiancee?" She asked, well, more like yelled.
"I'm sorry, Rachel. But this is over. I've tried to be nice and everything, especially when my parents convinced me that I was wasting my time with out and I was just starting to believe them. More tears were just coming out of Rachel's face. "But, I love you, Jesse." She said tearfully. "Well I don't, Rachel. You have three days to pack your things and move out. We're done. And also put the ring on the dining table." He just said and exited the house.
Now what?! Where the hell was she going to live? She decided to call her dads. After briefly explaining the horrible scenario that just went down, her dads called a hotel for her to stay at until she could find a place to live in.
Before officially packing her things, she just needed to find a way to let out all of her fucking anger. Noticing the nice, fragile accessories on the coffee table in the living room, she fast walked to the table and knocked everything down. She was so pissed, that she needed Jesse to get a taste of what he just did. And it felt good, though Rachel still felt extremely deep heartbreak. How could someone she loved with all her heart, just throw her off that easily? No matter how much of a dick head Jesse was, she still cared for him with every ounce of her being. She took care of him, she always tried to make him feel better when he was down. Huh, no wonder Jesse was being so distant with her lately. Offering her the bed while deciding to sleep on the couch, always going to outings with friends while leaving her alone in the house. After packing, it was all seemingly falling into place. Jesse never really cared about her, so why was she still in love with him like he was her forever?
