Okay…so remember how I said everything in season 1 happened? Just forget I said anything at all. I really am awful at planning so please don't kill me if I got you confused! Anyways, here's chapter 2! By the way, I'm updating waaay faster than I usually do.

Rachel wasn't able to get to her new text message until she got home from Glee club. She usually would've stayed longer to dabble on the piano and practice for the new lesson Mr. Shue was teaching them but for this particular lesson, she knew she'd have to practice at home. She'd blow everyone away with her outstanding performance (as usual) of 'Killer Queen'.

No one would expect Rachel Barbara Berry to sing a Queen song! But then again, the point of the lesson was to pick a song that most of her teammates wouldn't expect her to sing. Something about everyone having two sides to them or whatever brilliant but pointless teaching method Mr. Shue was always forcing upon them.

Smiling to herself as she imagined the astounded looks on Puck and Finn's faces as she sang the, truth be told, difficult song. It was finally then that Rachel noticed the seemingly innocent blink of the phone.

From: Jesse

The world officially hates me.

Chuckling at the dramatics of her friend, she remembered all the great times they had together at camp. Sure, with Jesse going to Carmel and with Rachel going to McKinnley, their being friends was a little bit difficult. They weren't able to see each other nearly as often as they'd like, 10 sharp every Saturday morning and whenever they felt like coming over each other's house just to be with each other, what with the demanding work schedule of Vocal Adrenaline but to Rachel and Jesse, it was so worth it.

For her, Jesse was the only one who truly knew her and (she supposed) was the same for Jesse. They were selfish, ambitious, narcissistic, and talented beyond belief, and they knew it. Because of these personality combinations, people always had the tendency to be insanely jealous of them and therefore utterly vicious to them.

But the torture Jesse had to go through was practically nonexistent ever since he joined Vocal Adrenaline who were worshipped on the ground they walked on in Carmel. Well, okay so maybe she's being just a little bit dramatic but compared to how Jesse's glee club was treated, her previous statement wasn't that much of an exaggeration. Not by a long shot.

Whenever Rachel would tell Jesse the horrors the New Directions had to face every time they walked the halls of McKinnley, he would just scoff at her and say that she was being ridiculous. But he wouldn't understand until he actually had to be put through their bullying. So when she saw Jesse's text message, she felt that some of his miva* was showing.

From: Rach

Oh, really? The world hates you? Jesse St. James? Golden boy of Vocal Adrenaline? What in the world could happen to change all that?

From: Jesse

Golden boy of Vocal Adrenaline? Not anymore. My parents decided they wanted to move and actually stay at their villa in Italy.

From: Rach

Are you moving with them?

From: Jesse

HELL NO! My life is here. And I bet the high schools at Italy don't even have show choir competitions. God, my life is a mess.

From: Rach

It'll be okay, maybe you can just stay in your house while they live in Italy. I mean, it's not like you don't do that already.

From: Jesse

They're selling the damn house. Wait, they want to 'talk'. Let's do video chat later, 'kay?

From: Rach

Of course.

As Rachel tried to do her Calc homework, she tried to process what she just read. Jesse moving? To Italy of all places? Who would she sing show tunes with while her dads weren't home and she needed company? Who would she complain to about Glee club and would actually listen instead of ignore her like everyone else did?

With all these worries on her mind, Rachel eventually gave up trying to do her Calc homework and practiced singing her song for glee. But even that couldn't put her mind at ease although how she thought it would since it was Jesse who introduced her to Queen was beyond her.

Jesse is her best friend. No one could ever replace that especially no one in Lima, Ohio where being a part of a "normal group" like football or cheerleading was a matter of the slushied or the slushier. The reality of all the teasing and bullying would probably mount to a peak if she didn't have way to get rid of all her anger and insecurities with a comfort blanket that is Mr. St. James. She would probably have a mental breakdown and be excused from school for two months to go to therapy followed by her eventual drug addiction forcing her to go to rehab, tarnishing her reputation and all possible chances of going to Julliard and making it big on Broadway.

These thoughts plagued Rachel's mind and she knew she being a little unrealistic but can you blame her? She was losing her best friend! Her only friend…those people in glee club weren't her true friends.

Sure, they tolerate her for the most part except for Santana and Quinn who always viciously tease her like it was normal routine. Then there were those whole just completely ignored her like Matt, Mike, and Brittany and she did her best to return the favor. Of course, there's always Mercedes and Kurt who, jealous of her talent, join in the fun of tease Rachel and make her feel bad day (which is every day, to be honest) with Santana and Quinn.

No, she decided. She wasn't being her overly dramatic self. Those awful things would probably happen to her if she lost her best friend. Jesse was more than just that friend you hang out with. He was her soul mate. She was sure of it. They fully accept each other, flaws and all. She simply couldn't imagine her life without him in the picture!

She'd have to talk to Mr. and Mrs. St. James. Besides, they already know that Jesse has no intention of going all the way to Italy. His everything is here, and if Rachel Berry knew Jesse St. James, she knew that he would fight tooth and nail to stay in Ohio or at least America. After all, they knew they'd be off to New York after high school but for now, they would have to settle for Ohio.

The clear notes of the doorbell broke through her reverie. As she made her way to the front door, she yelled "I'll get it!" to her dads. What she found on the other side of the door pleasantly surprised her.

"Jesse." She breathed out in shock.

"Hey Rach." He said to her as her move into her to give her a hug. As his arms wrapped around her small frame, she noticed a medium sized suitcase beside him. When they broke away from the hug, Rachel asked "What are you doing here?"

Silence followed Rachel's question and a slightly nervous expression crossed the normally confident yet arrogant look on Jesse St. James's face. It was so quick, if she had blinked, she was sure she would've missed it. He quickly covered it up with his show face, something Rachel found particularly peculiar since they were usually so open with each other. He took a deep breath and smiled at her the way they always do, a hint of teasing but with all the warmness and adoration of a true friend.

"Can I move in with you?"

Dun dun dun! Sorry, that was my attempt at being dramatic. I will try to update as soon as possible because I know from my own experience that cliffhangers are hated especially when stories take a long time to be updated. *Miva is a man diva if any of ya'll didn't know* Remember to review! Reviews are very much loved and I'll probably update faster the more reviews there are!
