When Friday came, Rachel sung a teary goodbye my lover by James Blunt in Glee club as a goodbye before leaving it early. She had Jesse coming over, although not for the reason he thought, she needed to tell him.

Jesse arrived at Rachel's on time and knocked on the door, he was shocked when one of her Dads answered as he presumed they'd still be at work, what shocked him even more was the boxes all over the place.

"What's going on?" Jesse asked forgetting his manors due to shock.

"We're moving, Rachel's up stairs in her room" Leroy informed him before continuing to pack up the plates and bowls.

Jesse hesitantly entered the house and closed the front door quietly before walking upstairs to Rachel's half packed bedroom. "Rachel?" he asked as he walked into the room.

Rachel had removed her cardigan, which meant that Jesse clearly saw her bandaged arm and the massive bruise on her shoulder, he gasped.

Rachel smiled ignoring his expression "Hello Jesse, there's been a change of plans…" she started.

"What happened to your arm?" Jesse asked, giving the same 'ready to kill' vibe as Puck did.

Rachel turned away unknowingly making him angrier as he received a full view of the bruise "Just school… but we're moving and I'm transferring schools, so it doesn't matter"

Jesse hugged Rachel from behind; he wanted her to know he was here for her.

"What are you doing this weekend?" She asked.

"Nothing I couldn't get out of" Jesse replied remember that he had Vocal Adrenaline rehearsals. Shelby would let him off if it meant she might be able to meet her daughter, but something else he realised that even if Shelby stopped forcing him to 'befriend' Rachel, he wouldn't want to leave her, he couldn't believe it but he'd fallen for her.

"Want to help us move? We're driving there tomorrow, unpacking tomorrow and on Sunday. I start my new school on Monday, I want you to be there, well you will be there but you know what I mean, seeing as you're a senior and I'm a…" Rachel ranted

Jesse looked at her confused before realisation hit him and he interrupted her "You're transferring to Carmel!" he almost shouted with shock mixed with excitement.

Rachel nodded and explained, "My Dad received a job offer that offered to move the whole family, and seeing as Dad is a lawyer he can easier set up an office there instead."

Jesse grinned and he leaned down and kissed her lips "I'll be delighted to help you move and settled in."

Rachel smiled up at him as he leaned down and kissed her more deeply, they only stopped when they bumped a box causing it to fall, its contents fell everywhere.

That night Jesse stayed and helped them box everything up, he slept the night and travelled with them to their new home, which happened to only be a 10-minute drive from Jesses home. Jesse started to help them unpack, he checked his phone to see 24 missed calls and even more texts. His phone started ringing, seeing it was Shelby he remembered he hadn't told her he wouldn't be coming, he answered the call.

"Where Are You?!" Shelby asked harshly.

"I'm busy, I'm helping somebody move" Jesse told her vaguely.

"Move! Vocal Adrenaline is more important than anything, Jesse!"

"I'm helping a friend, and I can't attend tomorrows rehearsal either" he informed her, he could picture her getting angry and quickly interrupted her thoughts "I have found somebody to audition for VA who would be perfect, she'll be auditioning on Monday and trust me, you'll like her."

"I better" Shelby threatened before hanging up.

Bright and early on Monday morning Rachel woke up and performed her extensive morning routine adding an additional vocal warm-up in preparation for her audition later, she already decided she'd sing On My Own by Les Miserables, as she did for her audition into New Directions. After eating her specially made vegan breakfast Rachel begins to get nervous about starting a new school seeing as what happened at her old school, thankfully her Dads are able to calm her down before Jesse knocks on the door.

Jesse and Rachel sing together on the way to school lessening her nerves knowing he's there and will be there for the audition as well, even if she's very talented, and throughout the day at school.

Jesse walks Rachel to the admissions office, he smirks when she kisses his cheek obviously thinking he has to go to lessons, he leans down and whispers in her ear "This period is a scheduled Vocal Adrenaline meeting or rehearsal, as soon as you're signed in, we're going straight there."

Rachel blushes slightly at the proximity and smiles letting a small "Oh" come out of her lips, things were very different here.

Jesse's smirk increases but his thoughts are disturbed as a teacher introduces herself to Rachel taking her into the office making Jesse wait while she signs in.

25 minutes later Rachel comes out with her schedule.

"Finally!" Jesse exclaims dramatically making Rachel giggle before leading her to the large auditorium where she is to audition. Rachel waits at the side while Jesse gets everybody's attention before requesting Rachel to come out. If Rachel had known Shelby at all, she would have noticed the shock evident on her face, however she didn't.

"Rachel Berry, performing 'On My Own' by the musical 'Les Miserables'" Rachel announced before singing the song acoustically and pitch perfect, she smiled at the applause and enthusiasm she had received from her peers, nothing like that happened at McKinley.
