It was half past sever when Will Schuester finished grading papers and turned his office light off then locking the door. He was walking down the corridor when he decided to check the choir room for anything the glee kids or the badn left. He saw a pink spotty coat draped on the back of one of the chairs.
"Rachel," he sighed, "Not like you to leave something behind"
He picked it up and carried it with him to his car. He drove out of the school and to Rachel's. He would drop her coat off and would be able to give her the sheet music for a new solo he had planned on giving her on Tuesday, a possibility for Regionals. If she got it now, she would have it perfected by Tuesday to demonstrate to the rest of New Directions.
He knocked on the door softly and waited for a response. He was greeted by a less familiar Rachel. Instead of the hyperactive diva he had said goodbye at the end of today's Spanish lesson, this Rachel had mascara running down her face and was clutching a wet tissue in her hand. She looked so upset.
"Rachel is everything OK?"
"Fine, Mr Schue" she said whiping her cheeks with the tissue and standing up straight. "How can I help?"
"Well you left your coat in the choir room" he said passing her the pink jacket "And I wanted to give you this for Tuesday".
She took the coat and the sheet music from him and put them on a table in the hall.
"Are you sure you're OK? You look like you'e been crying."
"Come in," she turned and walked into her lounge. Will followed her.
She curled herself up on a big armchair. He took his coat off and sat on the sofa opposite her.
"Right, tell me what's wrong"
"Jesse's back in town. He's got a job in New York and he's come back to get the rest of his things"
"An acting job?"
"Obviously"
"That's great, right?"
"No, he's leaving and I'm never gonna see him again"
"Woah...hold on...I thought you were seeing Finn..."
"No" she snapped.
"And I thought you hated Jesse after the whole egging thing."
"We made up and..." she bit her lip and turned her head away.
"And what Rachel?"
"The reason I said no to Finn when he asked to be his girlfriend after Regionals was because..."
He cut her off, "I thought that was because you said you didn't want to be in a relationship after everything that happened last year."
"No, I said that so nobody would be mad at me, Me and Jesse got back together after Regionals, I'm not going through all the details about the conversations and arguments."
Will was shocked.
Rachel carried on talking between sobs.
"And now he's going to New York and I won't see him." She started crying again.
"OK, calm down, we can figure this out."
"How?"
"Well, when does he leave?"
"In about a month"
"Well then we've got about a month to persuade him to stay in Lima"
"I couldn't do that, it's his dream, he wants to go to New York"
Will hated seeing any of the Glee club this upset. They had formed a close relationship with the Spanish teacher and they were his family. There was another knock on the door.
"Do you want me-"
Before he could finish, Rachel had already dashed to the front door. Will sat back down and began wondering what he could do. He heard voices talking but he pushed it out of his mind while he concentrated on the situation. Rachel, part of his family, was going to be heart-broken again. He knew what Rachel was like when she was really sad. He couldn't let that happen. His thought s were disturbed by Rachel's loud cries.
Will walked out of the lounge and into the hall to investigatge the noise. He couldn't help but smile.
Rachel was crying into Jesse's chest, he was holding her tightly in his arms. He was smiling and stroking her hair.
"Trust you to make a mix-up like that." he laughed.
Rachel stopped crying and turned around to smile and her teacher.
"Is everything OK?" He knew the answer, she was smiling which had to mean good news.
"She got a bit mixed up" Jesse laughed again.
"What do you mean?
"I'm not going to New York at all, I'm doing a show in a theatre a couple miles out of Lima, I'm not going anywhere"
Will frowned, who had told her that he was going to New York?
"So, why did you think he was going to New York?"
"That's what Finn said" She hugged him tighter.
Jesse and Will looked at each other with the same look on their faces. Jesse frowning because of his hatred and anger with the quarterback, Will frowned in disapointment, he couldn't believe on of his favourite students would tell a lie like this and why.
"It's OK baby, I'm not going anywhere"
"Rachel," he sighed, "Not like you to leave something behind"
He picked it up and carried it with him to his car. He drove out of the school and to Rachel's.

Author's Note:
The whole of idea of this fanfic is to tell a story of Jesse and Rachel from the other character's points of view. This, obviously, is from Will's point of view.
Please tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions for storylines/improvements or the next character you want the story to be told from. I'm also rubbish a naming things so if you have a better suggestion for the title, let me know.
Thankyou for reading :)
