Hey guys...so this if my first FanFic so I hope I'm doing a good job! The first chapter is short but I promise to make the other chapters long! So I hope you guys enjoy it and please feel free to review!

Rachel Berry was only 24 years old and is officially regretting her life. She has one more year to complete her goal of winning a Tony. At this rate…she's not getting anywhere.

Rachel got in her car and silently drove to the middle of nowhere to get some sleep. When you finally run away from an abusive boyfriend and have nowhere to live…appreciate your cheap car. Once she settled into the back seat and got ready to doze off…her phone rang.

"Ugh! Who in the world would call me now?" Rachel was freaking out. After leaving and not telling anyone, the fear of being tracked down had officially begun. Rachel knows not to mess with her cousin Noah or his wife Quinn. She knows that Noah will probably call the FBI when he finds out Rachel ran away. She looked at the caller ID and saw an unknown number. She picked up at the third ring. "H-hello?" She squeaked.

"Is this Rachel Berry?"

"Y-yes. May I please know who is speaking to me?" She knew this wasn't Jesse or Noah. So who could it be?

"I'm William Shuestar. The manager for the famous Finn Hudson!"

That one name brought Rachel to her senses. Rachel has always been a fan of Finn Hudson but she knows how much of jerk he is. "W-what does that have to do with m-me, sir?"

"Well…I know that you are a singing waitress at the Three Enchiladas…right?"

"Y-yes I am."

"Well…I came by the other day and I heard you sing. My mind was blown! I never heard a voice like that before!"

My heart was pounding in my chest so hard that I thought Mr. Shuestar could hear it over the phone. "Th-th-thank you sir! But I still don't understand why you are calling me…"

"Oh well see…Mr. Hudson's personal assistant got fired last week for selling his boxers on eBay. So…I was wondering if you can take the place as his personal assistant." Mr. Shuestar asked her.

Rachel felt like her heart skipped a beat when he asked her! HOLY CARP! Did he seriously just ask me that? I'm going to die any minute! "But sir…why me?"

"Well…you have a beautiful voice and I really think having a personal assistant who can sing puts a good impression on Mr. Hudson. And I also found out that you are in great need of money and your boss said you are a very responsible and reliable young woman. So…will you take the job?"

OMG! Answer him! Why did you stop talking! "Yes! I will take the job!" Smooth answer Berry!

"That's great! So are you able to come to the Union State building tomorrow at 2 PM? I'll meet you there and then give you directions to the studio so you can meet Mr. Hudson."

"Um yeah! Sure! I'll meet you there sir!"

"Okay thanks Rachel! Oh and Rachel…you don't have to call me sir. Will is just fine."

"Okay thanks Si- I mean Will. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!"

"Bye Rachel!"
