"I don't see why you want to go to Carmel Rachel, we were suppose to rule the Cheerios together this year. What am I suppose to do now?" Quinn asked as she sat on my bed and I sighed.

"I know but it's not that I really want to go to Carmel Quinn it's more of the fact that I have to go. My aunt's job is in Akron and her son is going to Dalton which is close by, they already gave up so much for me to complete my freshman year at McKinley, I don't want to make them stay here any longer."

"Oh just grow a pair and tell your aunt that you aren't moving." Santana said as she filed her nails and I shook my head.

"I'm not going to do that Santana, they have already been put through enough. The last thing that they need is for me to make their lives any harder..."

"Like it's your fault that your dad committed suicide last year."

"Santana!" Quinn barked.

"What it's not her fault, the man was selfish."

"He was her dad San." Brittany added as she walked over and joined us on the bed.

"Look I get that losing your husband to cancer is like a big deal and all but he had a daughter to think about and all he did was make sure his sister was left to take care of Rach, it's ridiculous." Santana finished as there was a knock on my door.

"Hey Rachel my mom wanted to let you know that we are leaving in fifteen minutes." Blaine said from the door way and I nodded.

"Thanks for letting me know, tell her we will be down in a second." I said and Blaine nodded as he walked down the hall and I turned back to the group of Cheerios that were lounging on my bed.

"God I wish your cousin wasn't gay, I would totally hit that." Santana said as she fawned over my cousin's retreating shadow.

"I'd still hit that if I was given a chance." Brittany said and I rolled my eyes.

"Forget about it, both of you." I stated and the pair rolled their eyes.

"So you're just leaving your stuff here?" Quinn asked and I nodded.

"Yeah. My aunt figures that I am going to need some time before I am ready to fully close this chapter of my life so we are holding off on packing everything up and selling until I am ready."

"I really don't want you to leave." Quinn said and I nodded.

"I know, I really don't want to leave either but like I said I have to."

"I'm going to miss you Rach." Brittany said as the tall blonde enveloped me in a hug which caught me off guard.

"I'm going to miss you too Britts." I said returning the gesture.

"You know hobbit I think that I am going to miss having you around to make fun of. I mean who else are we going to have to lift into the air? You are like the only midget to make the team. Now we are going to have to actually lift people of normal height and weight..."

"Oh just tell her that you are going to miss her, and stop insulting her San." Brittany said as she released me from our hug and Santana sighed.

"I really am going to miss you." Santana finally relented and I smiled.

"Aw, Santana said that she was going to miss me." I chided and Santana shoved me lightly.

"Don't you dare spread that around or I will hunt you down and kill you." She replied as we all got off the bed and I smiled.

"I wouldn't dare ruin your reputation."

"Good. So are you going to join Carmel's cheerleading team?" Santana asked and I shook my head.

"No, their team sucks, plus I wouldn't want to compete against you guys."

"That and Sue might kill you." Quinn added and we all laughed.

"There's that too." I added as we walked into the living room.

"Hey are you almost ready?" My aunt asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, just let me walk them out and then we can go." I said and she nodded.

"Alright, it was nice to see you girls again." She said and Santana, Quinn, and Brittany smiled.

"You too Mrs. Anderson." They said as we walked out of the house towards Quinn's car.

"So I guess this is goodbye." I said completely ruining the mood.

"It's not goodbye Rachel it's just until we see each other again." Brittany said and I smiled.

"Yeah that's it Rach, plus we are going to see you whenever we can. Trust me it will be like you never left." Quinn added.

"You guys are great."

"Oh we know." Santana stated and I quickly pulled her into a hug.

"You have to promise to keep me up to date on everything that is going on." I said and the three of them nodded.

"We wouldn't have it any other way."

"I can't believe this is it." Quinn stated and I sighed.

"I know..."

"Wait Rach!" I heard Puck call and we all quickly turned to where Puck was running up my driveway.

"What do you want Jew hawk?" Santana bit and Puck rolled his eyes.

"I just came by to say goodbye to Rachel, she is leaving isn't she?" He asked and Santana rolled her eyes.

"What was your first clue, the moving truck or all the boxes Einstein?"

"Be nice." I stated as I turned to Puck.

"I am moving, I was just saying goodbye to the girls and then I was heading out." I said as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Well I hope that you have a good time in Akron and keep in touch." He said and I smiled.

"I will, and try not to knock anyone up while I am gone." I joked and he let out a small nervous laugh.

"Funny." He stated recalling the close call that happened this summer between him and some senior.

"Bye Puck." I said as I gave him a quick hug and then I went down the line and hugged Quinn, Santana, and Brittany.

"Call us when you get there." Quinn said and I nodded.

"I will and try something new this year, for me." I said and they all rolled their eyes.

"We'll see." They stated and I smirked.

"I have to go, I'll text you as soon as I can." I said and they all waved as I rushed back to the house to help with the last of the boxes.

The drive to Akron was long and boring and moving my things into their house was not any more fun.

"So Rachel you are going to be in the guest room. Blaine and Cooper's room is down the hall, and your uncle and my's room is upstairs. Can I get you anything?" My aunt asked as I sat on the bed in the guest room.

"No I am quite alright for right now." I said with a fake smile plastered on my face and she nodded.

"Alright, but one thing before I go. I noticed that you didn't have a lot of clothes to wear and I figured that was because you wore your Cheerios uniform all last year so I took it upon myself to pick up a few things for you, I hope you don't mind." She said as she walked over to the closet and pulled out a few bags.

"You really didn't have to do that." I said as she placed the bags next to me.

"It's not much and I can give you some money so you can go shopping over the weekend but it's more than what you had." She said and I replaced my fake smile with a genuine one.

"Thank you, for everything. You really have no idea how much I appreciate everything that you have done for me, even if that means I have to switch schools."

"I know that you are a little bummed about that, but I looked into it and Carmel has a great cheerleading program and their glee club is the best in the nation, I remember how much you love to sing..."

"Loved, look thank you for everything but if you don't mind I would like some time to settle in. I still have a lot to unpack and I have school in the morning." I said and my aunt nodded.

"Alright Rachel, just let me know if you need anything."

"I will aunt Mia." I said and she quickly exited the room as I collapsed on the bed.

I woke up the next morning in the same position and I groaned as I pulled my sorry butt out of bed and made my way into the bathroom so I could take a shower. I made quick work of showering and I was in the middle of doing my makeup when my aunt walked in.

"Hey are you almost ready?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I just have to finish my makeup and then change. Is Blaine ready for his first day?" I asked and she nodded.

"He has been up for hours trying to find the best way to personalize his uniform. It's cute really. Anyway I have been thinking and you are going to need a way to get to and from school as well as to visit your friends in Lima and well we have Coop's old car and well now it's yours." She said producing keys from her pockets.

"Wait seriously?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yes seriously, the only rule is that you stay out of trouble and you find something that interest you at school, other than that it is yours."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said as I ran over and gave her a huge hug before I took the keys much to her amusement.

"Be sure to get something to eat before you leave. I have to go ahead and take Blaine so I hope you don't mind that you are on your own." She said and I shrugged.

"It's whatever, but I have a car!" I stated and she just laughed.

"Have a good day." She said before she walked out of the room and I ran over to the bag of clothes that were still lying on the bed and picked out a black tank top and a pair of dark skinny jeans. When I was finally dressed I ran into the kitchen and grabbed a thing of fruit for breakfast and then walked out to see my new car.

It wasn't anything fantastic but it was a car and that was more than I had before. I was thrilled about the car up until I pulled into the parking lot of Carmel and I remembered that this was not McKinley and I couldn't show my friends my new ride.

I made my way into the office and got my schedule and then headed down the hallway to try and find my locker. It was about five seconds later that someone ran into me and knocked my books out of my hands.

"Hey watch it!" The person snapped and I glared at them.

"Me watch it? You were the idiot that ran into me." I snapped as I collected my books from the hallway floor.

"Did she just talk to me?" The curly haired boy asked and I stood up and rolled my eyes.

"Yes I was talking to you, there were no other jerks around at the moment, now if you would excuse me I have to find my locker."

"Look it's clear that you are new here so I am going to help you out a little bit. There is a social food chain here and I'm at the top while you, well you are about a step above a bottom feeding cheerleader. So here is my recommendation, don't talk to me, now or ever..."

"Is something going on here?" A teacher asked as she stepped between me and the curly haired freak.

"No Ms. Corcoran, I was just introducing myself to the new student, she seemed a little lost." The boy stated giving me a moment to look at the teacher who stepped into this mess.

She looked young for being a teacher. She was dressed in a tight fitting black dress with matching black heels and her wavy brown hair was pulled into a low side pony tail while her brown eyes barred into the soul of the boy in front of me. In a twisted way it seemed as if I was looking into a mirror that aged myself ten years.

"First of all it's Mrs. Reynolds now. And I'm sure that was all you were doing Jesse, now I would get to class before I inform my sister of your behavior towards the new students. I'm sure she would love to grill your ass during rehearsal, even if it is shortened." The woman threatened and the boy spared me a look before he stalked off down the hall followed by two girls who flanked his sides.

"Um, thanks." I said unsure of how to address the woman who had saved me from potentially getting my assed kicked.

"It's no problem, what's your name?" She asked as she walked besides me down the hall.

"Rachel." I stated coming to a stop in front of the locker I was assigned.

"Do you have a last name Rachel?" She asked and I sighed as I opened my locker.

"Anderson, Rachel Anderson." I quickly remarked remembering that name that my aunt had me fill out on the paperwork for school.

"It's nice to meet you Rachel Anderson, What year are you?" She asked and I turned around to look at her so it didn't seem like I was being rude.

"Sophomore, I attended McKinley high last year, it's a school in Lima."

"I'm familiar with that school. How did you like it?" She asked as I went back to putting things into my locker.

"It was okay, I had some good friends."

"Were you a member of the glee club?" She asked and I laughed.

"No, I was a Cheerio."

"Do you sing?" She asked and I was starting to feel uncomfortable with where the conversation was going.

"What does that have to do with anything?" I quickly snapped.

"I was just curious. You see Rachel this school is ruled by Vocal Adrenaline, the glee club not the cheerleaders, that kid who ran into you is Jesse St. James the lead of that program..."

"And you point is?" I asked and she sighed.

"You're used to being popular Rachel and unless you sing there is no shot at that. My sister is in charge of that program and she purges every good singer out of this school and leaves the rest to be eaten by her monster."

"I used to sing, but I don't anymore. Happy?" I asked as I shut my locker.

"I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot..."

"Ya think?" I sassed as I spun around to face her again.

"I'm just a teacher here Rachel, I'm just trying to be nice, I know what it is like being the new kid. My family moved around a lot when my sister and I were younger, but unlike my sister I wasn't quite as popular..."

"That's great and all but when I was at McKinley I was one of the top cheerleaders there, I was popular but I'm not shallow I can deal with just blending in. The only reason I am here is because some private things happened and I had to move. I don't even know why I am telling you this." I said as I walked past her.

"What arts elective do you have?" She asked and I stopped and faced her again.

"None, I don't do arts I told you that..."

"It's a required field for all students, check your schedule." She stated and I checked the piece of paper annoyed.

"What the hell, why am I in vocal techniques?" I snapped and she smirked.

"Told you."

"This has to be a mistake, I don't sing." I stated.

"It's not a mistake it's a policy. I'm guessing that the normal classes were filled because you are in a Vocal Adrenaline class..."

"This is nuts."

"Come with me, I will see if I can get this sorted out for you." She said as she guided me towards the front office.

"You know I have been a real jerk to you, a normal person would have just let me suffer through the class." I stated as we walked into the front office.

"You were a jerk but as a teacher it's my job to help the students. Plus after your little confrontation with Jesse this morning you needed me to stick by your side."

"Why? Would his little glee friends surround me and start a flash mob?" I joked and she laughed.

"No, they might get my sister involved, which trust me is much worse."

"How so?"

"Well unlike me is isn't quite as charming..."

"Oh and you're charming?" I joked.

"I'd watch it if I were you, I am a teacher."

"You don't really seem like the teacher type." I stated and she nodded.

"I get that a lot. I wasn't going to be a teacher but my sister got my this gig and well I have been here for a year and a half so far so I must be doing something right." She stated as we moved up to the front desk.

"Mrs. Jennifer Reynolds what can I do for you this morning?" A man in his thirties asked and Mrs. Reynolds smiled.

"I was looking over one of my students schedules and it seems like she got put into vocal tech with my sister. She is a new student and all and she doesn't sing, is there something you can do?" She asked and he nodded.

"Harsh, let me check but I make no promises, classes are basically full at this point." He said as he typed a few things into his computer.

"Any luck?" Mrs. Reynolds asked after a few minutes and he shook his head.

"I'm sorry but nothing is open. It seems like everyone who had that class last year switched out leaving it the only open arts class at this point in time, I wonder why. I can put her on a waiting list though and we can see how this week goes." He said and Mrs. Reynolds nodded.

"Do that and let me know as soon as something opens up." She said and he smirked.

"I will."

"So that is it, I'm stuck in vocal hell?" I asked and she nodded.

"Seems like it. Rachel you said that you used to sing, what is that all about?"

"I don't really want to talk about it, I just want to get to class." I stated.

"Who do you have first?" She asked and I opened my schedule.

"You have got to be kidding me." I stated and she smirked.

"You have me first don't you?" She asked and I nodded.

"Can this day get any worse?" I asked as I walked with her to her class room.

"Well you haven't met my sister yet so yeah, it can."

I actually really enjoyed Mrs. Reynolds' english class. She was a really great teacher, although I would not have guessed that from the conversation we had earlier. My other classes were also going well, at least until I had to go to vocal techniques. It was bad enough that I even had to go to this class but of course the only seat that was open in the class when I arrived was in the first row next to Jesse, the jerk from earlier today.

"What is walking 101 full?" He sassed as I took a seat and I just chose to ignore his comment. "I believe I asked you a question." He said a few minutes later and I could tell that just ignoring him was not going to get my point across.

"You did and I was choosing to ignore you, but because you have this obnoxious need to hear your own voice and ignore the rest of the world around you, let me make this simple and clear. Both of our lives would just be easier if you and I don't talk to each other and we act like the other doesn't exist. Got it?"

"No I don-"

"Hey my class time, everyone sit down and shut it!" Our teacher said as she walked out of her office and into the class room interrupting Jesse mid rant. "Now I know most of you but there are one or two of you that I am unfamiliar with so I think that it would be worth while for those select few to introduce themselves and then we will get on with my lesson for the day, and for those of you who are new I'm Ms. Corcoran, the coach of Vocal Adrenaline and your teacher for vocal techniques. Now lets start with you in the front next to Jesse, tell us about yourself." She said pointing at me and I internally sighed.

"I'm Rachel-"

"Stand up please." She said without looking up from role sheet and I stood up.

"I'm Rachel Anderson. I'm a sophomore and last year I went to McKinley in Lima."

"Why did you transfer?" She asked.

"I didn't want to, I had to because my family moved." I stated annoyed with why she was even asking when she wasn't even paying attention to me.

"You in the back next to Giselle." She said as she finally put her role sheet down and the kid in the back stood up.

"I'm Max Turner and there was a mistake on my schedule because I'm not suppose to be here." He said.

"Well as long as you are here what grade?" Ms. Corcoran asked.

"I'm a senior."

"Good, now that we have that out of the way I'm going to pair you up and you are to prepare a duet that you will perform tomorrow in class. Jesse and Rachel you two are working together..."

"Ms. Corcoran you can't be serious!" Jesse protested but that was quickly shot down by a look from our teacher.

"I am. Giselle and Max..." She continued to name off the pairs until she had paired everyone off and resigned to her desk while everyone got to talking about which song they wanted to work on.

"Just to let you know I don't want to work with you." Jesse said as he started to dig through his saddle bag.

"And you think I want to work with you?" I sassed and he just rolled his eyes.

"Can you at least sing?" He asked as he pulled sheet music from his bag.

"Why don't you just wait and see?" I asked and he just handed me the music he had selected.

"Now I know that Hello is typically a love song but it's a good duet and my vocals fit it perfectly."

"Cocky much?" I asked and he just rolled his eyes.

"There is a piano over there, want to show me what you can do?" He asked getting up.

"I don't sing, at least not anymore." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Of course you don't sing. Look I know that you might be frightened by the prospect of singing in front of people..."

"It's not that I frightened that I don't sing, I don't sing because I don't want to..."

"Sure that's it, you probably sound like a horse..."

"Fine, lets go sing, but after this you leave me the hell alone." I sneered as we got up and walked over to the piano.

It was somewhere about three measures into the piece that I lost all sense of hatred for this boy. Our voices blended perfectly and although Jesse was an arrogant ass I had to admit he could sing. It wasn't until the song had ended that we noticed the entire classroom was silent and listening to us although it was Ms. Corcoran's slow clapping that brought the reality of the situation to my attention.

"That was quite a performance." She said as she circled the piano.

"I-we..."

"The rest of you are dismissed to work on your projects, I have some things to talk about with these two." She said and the rest of the room cleared without hesitation. "You have vocal training?" She asked me and I nodded.

"I used to take vocal lessons up until last year."

"You are going to have to take up lessons again to get you to the top of your game but your natural talent is fantastic."

"I'm confused." I stated as Jesse hopped up from the piano bench and went to sit on top of the piano.

"She is telling you that you are in Vocal Adrenaline." Jesse said as he checked out his nails.

"Vocal Adrenaline as in the glee club?" I asked and Jesse and Ms. Corcoran exchanged looks.

"She isn't slow is she?" Ms. Corcoran asked and Jesse shrugged.

"I'm right here and no I'm not slow but like I told Jesse earlier I don't sing." I said as I got off the piano bench and went to grab my things.

"Jesse can you leave us?" Ms. Corcoran asked and Jesse nodded as he hopped off the piano and left the room. "I don't get rejected often so you are going to have to walk me through this, you said you don't sing. Now I know that you can sing, you demonstrated that but why you won't sing is what I want to know." She said and I could feel the tears starting to well up in my eyes.

"I just can't- I can't do this." I said as I burst out of the room in tears.

I wasn't quite able to make it to the girls bathroom before someone grabbed my arm.

"Just go away." I sobbed but the arm was unrelenting as it dragged me down the unfamiliar halls.

"Rachel what's wrong?" I heard Jesse ask and I just glared at him as I wiped my tears.

"Like you care." I choked out and he sighed as he walked farther into the auditorium where he dragged me.

"I know that I can come off as an ass Rachel but I do care about people, well certain people. You have a wonderful voice I just don't understand why you don't want everyone to hear it..."

"I don't want anyone to hear me sing because I have nothing to sing for."

"You have plenty to sing for." Jesse countered.

"You know nothing about me." I spat.

"But I do know things about you. I know that you are a wonderful singer and that your parents are probably so proud of you..."

"My dad committed suicide last year after my other father died from cancer, that was why I moved so no they aren't proud of me they are dead."

"I didn't-"

"Know? Yeah that was what I was trying to tell you."

"What about yourself? Do you even like singing at all?" He asked.

"That doesn't matter..."

"But it does, you should be all that matters. I can't say that I know what it's like to lose someone I love because honestly I haven't lost anyone, but I know what it's like to feel like you are alone. My parents travel all the time and I don't really have anyone but my singing brought me to my family, Vocal Adrenaline is my family..."

"Vocal Adrenaline is a gimmick."

"You don't have to join Vocal Adrenaline if you don't want to, but don't give up singing, that would be a real crime."

"This is stupid, I have to go..."

"Where? You don't have another class to go to. At least come to rehearsal today." Jesse pleaded and I just shook my head.

"I'm sorry but I can't."

"Can't or won't?" He asked and I sighed.

"Jesse..."

"Look I'm not saying that we need you on the team, trust me we don't. The thing is though we want you on the team and that is pretty amazing for a first timer."

"I-I'll think about it, but just so you don't go off and tell your crazy ass coach and she gets some idea that by that I mean yes, this means that I need some time right now and I can give you an answer in a few days. Is that reasonable?" I asked and he smirked.

"You'll say yes." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm seriously doubting that."

"Shelby always gets what she wants Rachel, she will get you..."

"Well I'm not a something to get, I'm a human being. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go, class is out and I am going to go meet some people." I said walking past him.

"Some Lima-losers? Have fun." He chided and I rolled my eyes.

"I will."


SHELBY'S POV:

"She said no, she fucking said no!" I ranted as Jennifer sat at my kitchen table reading a magazine.

"Wait who are we talking about again?" She asked as she laid the latest issue of Vogue down and looked at me.

"Rachel Anderson, a girl in my vocal tech class. I mean her voice is ugh, I can't even describe it!"

"So she really can sing, huh did not see that one coming." Jennifer said and I sat down next to her.

"You know Rachel?" I asked and she nodded.

"I saved her from that snobby ass Jesse kid this morning. She seems pretty stubborn to me, a lot like you actually, she even looks like y-"

"Don't even say it. You know I have looked for my daughter and nothing has turned up, Rachel Berry has fallen off the face of the earth and this Rachel Anderson is not her. That being said I need her on VA. We are good without her but with her we would be unstoppable, plus there is always that small chance that she transfers back to McKinley and then I am screwed."

"Why don't you just make her join, thats what you did with another kid right?" She asked.

"That kid was always in trouble, it was easy to get them to join but Rachel isn't one to get in trouble."

"Well call me crazy but you could just try backing off and letting this one go, maybe she will come to you in your own time."

"I can't deal with maybes, I need confirmation. This girl is going to drive me insane, I can just feel it."

"What do you even know about her?" Jennifer asked and I sighed.

"She transferred from McKinley because of family issues and now she won't sing."

"What kind of family issues? Is she being abused or something?" Jennifer stated and I shrugged.

"All Jesse would tell me is what I told you. He does respect people's wishes, I have to give him that."

"So you got your little lap dog to go after her, smooth." Jennifer scolded and I rolled my eyes.

"I did no such thing, Jesse went after her on his own. It's like he actually cares about her or something..."

"Jesse care about someone other than himself? Right, and I have three heads."

"Regardless, Rachel willingly gave the information up to him and he isn't sharing."

"Maybe you could talk to her family and see if something is going on? Then you can step in and be like her hero or something." Jennifer offered and I shook my head.

"That just makes me seem too desperate. I think I am just going to have to let this one go for now. I still have her in my techniques course, I am just going to have to convince her that VA is what she wants to do, end of story."

"And what if she feels like VA isn't what she wants to do end of story?" Jennifer asked.

"Then I get more creative in my approach. Jesse talked to her and she said she would think about it. I will give her the few days that she is asking for before I take more drastic measures."

"Like what?" Jennifer asked clearly amused by me being flustered.

"I don't know. Don't you have a husband to go home to instead of bothering me?" I asked and she shrugged.

"I do but he has a dinner thing tonight and I don't really want to go so I am hoping that if I take my time he will go without me."

"Wow way to be mature."

"You know just because I am married doesn't mean that I am mature. And what about you? When are you going to settle down and start a family, I mean not that this Rachel kid isn't your family but you haven't found her yet."

"I'm giving myself until regionals. If I haven't found her by then I am going to look into adoption and then start looking again when she is eighteen. I can't keep searching forever." I said and Jennifer nodded.

"Yeah, but seriously you need to look into this Anderson girl."

"Jennifer enough."

"What? It can't be a coincidence that she has the same first name as the kid you gave away, the voice of an angel, and looks like you. At least check it out, that is all I am saying."

"Fine but not until I get her on VA."

"And what if she never joins?" Jennifer asked and I gave her a look.

"You know me, she is going to be joining one way or another."

"Doubt it." Jennifer said in her sing-song voice and I smirked.

"You know better than to doubt me."

"That may be but in a clash of the wills I would have to say that I would put my money on Rachel, she has you beat by a mile when it comes to stubbornness."

"Hey she already went from a flat out no to asking for a few days..."

"That is just her being polite and not trying to offend you, her answer is still going to be no, I can feel it."

"Yeah well you are about to feel my hand upside your face if you don't cut it out." I remarked and Jennifer smirked.

"I dare you to even try." She sassed and I rolled my eyes.

"You're not even worth it."

"Chicken." She stated trying to get a rise out of me but I let it go instead.

"Well being as you are here what would you like for dinner?"

"I don't know, what ever you are making sounds good to me."

"So that would be chinese take out." I said throwing the menu to her and she laughed.

"When are you finally going to learn how to cook?" She asked and I shrugged.

"When I finally have someone to cook for I suppose."

"Great, so that would be never." She remarked and I took off my shoe and threw it in her general direction so she got the point.

"Just remember I have another one of those."

"I can't believe you just threw a shoe at me."

"Believe it and it will happen again if you aren't careful."

"What ever, so are you paying or am I?" Jennifer asked.

"I'll pay, I think you got it last time. Why don't you go pick out a movie or something while I order and that way we can watch it when I am done." I said and Jennifer hopped up.

"Thanks, you know you are the best big sister that a girl could ask for." She stated and I smirked.

"I know, oh and no romantic comedies, Bryan doesn't like them and neither do I." I stated and she just shrugged as she walked out of the room.

"You and my husband don't know what you are missing!" She playfully called back to me and I shook my head as I walked over and grabbed the phone.

"Oh and dibs on the lounge chair!" I called and I heard her laugh.

"First come first served!" She stated recalling a childhood rule that we used to play by and I rolled my eyes as I dialed the familiar number.

So here is the new story that I was talking about. I already have a lot of this story written so it actually isn't taking any time away from my other stories but this is just something that I have put together and has been bugging me so I wrote it. I hope someone likes it and if not, oh well it is fun to write. Plus I figured with my other story wrapping up it wouldn't hurt to put this out there.
