Rachel's POV
I looked Jesse in the eye as he held the egg above my head,I knew his relationship with Vocal Adrenaline was on the line,but I also knew that if he done this,if he listened to his supposed friends then that would be the end of it naive of me to think he wouldn't do it? I gulped and glanced at the egg that was,for the moment,still unbroken before glancing at Jesse again.
"Do it...I dare you"
Something flashed in his eyes,something that I had never seen Jesse feel before...Regret? Remorse?
"Go on Jesse,are you with us or not?"Giselle hissed,smirking at the petite girl covered in eggs,this years funkification was definitely the best one by far.
"I..." Jesse started,I raised an eyebrow as his show-face slipped.
"I loved you Rachel" He whispered,I could detect a hint of pain in his voice before I heard the familiar crack of the egg before the final yolk ran down my face,I closed my eyes and tried to force the tears back.I should have seen this coming,I should have listened to the others and knew he was just using me as some sort of acting exercise.
I slowly opened my eyes again to find that they had left,once I made sure there was no other signs of them ambushing me I let a few tears fall.
"Job well done
Standing ovation
Yeah you got what you wanted
I guess you won
And I don't want to hear, they don't know you like I do
Even I could've told you
But now we're done"
I walked through the halls of McKinley until I got to my locker,frowning as I looked at all the photos that I stupidly had plastered over could someone like him love someone like me? Sure we were the same person but he was so...hot and I was so...plain and then again he was a spy so he could have lied about telling me how beautiful I was.
"'Cause you play me like a symphony
Play me till your fingers bleed
I'm your greatest masterpiece
You ruin me
Later when the curtains drawn
And no one's there for you back home
Don't cry to me, you played me wrong
You ruin me
I know you thought
That I wouldn't notice
You were acting so strange
I'm not that dumb
And in the end I hope she was worth it
I don't care if you loved me, you make me numb"
I slowly took all the photos of us together down and stuffed them into a box I kept at the back of my locker,now it was just bare and bleak,just like me. Not even a sign of a gold star to keep me motivated. I was just the shell of a girl I used to know, I know I shouldn't let a boy effect me this much but Jesse was the only one who truly understood my dreams and desires to be on Broadway. After the whole Run Joey Run fiasco I knew I made a mistake, I should have never triple cast that role and I should never have let my 'good girl' reputation get to me. I grabbed the bag of spare clothes I usually kept in the event of a slushy and sighed.
I closed my locker and rested my head against the cool metal, winching as I heard the slight squishing noise that the yolk made. I could feel my stomach twisting and turning at the smell of the eggs hit my nose, it wasn't too long until I had ran to the bathroom with the spare clothes I had grabbed, and found myself throwing up in the toilet.
"Cause you play me like a symphony
Play me till your fingers bleed
I'm your greatest masterpiece
You ruin me
Later when the curtains drawn
And no one's there for you back home
Don't cry to me, you played me wrong
You ruin me"
I sighed as I cleaned myself up, making sure there was no sign of vomit or egg left on me, I changed into a pair of denim skinny jeans, a white vest top and a kimono jacket, before tying my hair up into a ponytail. I should have listened to everyone when they tried to warn me about Jesse, of course he was a spy, first Finn used me and now the only guy who I thought could be my soulmate betrayed me. I glanced at myself in the mirror and frowned, I could still see pieces of egg and shell on my face. This was not how things were meant to be. Jesse and I were meant to be together. Why did I let popularity get in the way of my first real relationship?
But now, now Jesse has ruined things. That was clear by the amount of egg I had been covered in. Before he done it thought I swore I saw something in his eyes, something that showed he wasn't going to do it and that he was going to drop the egg and walk away. But how wrong I was, all he cared about was his fourth consecutive national championship. I should have realised that now.
I sighed and pushed the toilet door open, walking down the hallway and feeling grateful that it was empty. That was until Puck appeared in the corridor, "Berry? Why weren't you in Gl-" Puck stopped short and glanced at the girl on front of him. She was not Rachel Berry.
I sighed and looked up at him. "Don't Puck. Don't say anything. Don't speak to me" I whispered and walked past him. I shoved the school doors open and walked towards my car, I paused for a moment as a black, shiny jeep caught my eye. I glanced over to it and saw Jesse standing by the bonnet, he looked...sad?
"Berry?!" I turned round to see the members of the glee trying to come towards me but I shook my head and walked towards Jesse. He met me halfway and for a moment we were both silent. I looked into his eyes and I could see the sadness that was there. But all I could feel in that moment was hate. Before I knew what I was doing my hand connected with his cheek, I almost wanted to laugh because his curls bounced with him. But I remain stone face, and so did he as he turned back to me, the red hand print on his cheek was now visible.
"You ruined me"
