Advice
Reprise- Chapter 2
Rachel couldn't get over the immense amount of shock she was in that Jesse had gotten back in contact with her. She figured the could be no harm in getting back together with him since he was no longer part of Vocal Adrenaline but wasn't quite sure where her feelings for him stood. Would she fall back in love with him or would they just be friends. She was completely stuck in a whirlwind of emotions.
She wanted to talk to someone in Glee Club but she wasn't who to confide in. She certainly couldn't talk to Finn about guy troubles.. Kurt possibly but not Finn. She decided to go talk to the guidance counselor Miss Pillsbury.
"So Rachel what can I help you with today?"
Rachel got straight to the point
"Jesse St James got back in contact with me.
Emma Pillsbury remembered back to a year ago when Rachel had come to talk to her after the incident with Jesse St James and the other boys in Vocal Adrenaline in the parking lot.
" How does that make you feel?"
"Confused… very confused."
"Why?"
"Because I might still have feelings for him and I don't know how he feels about me."
"Have you thought about writing back to him?"
"Yes… I just don't know what I would say."
"Well gather your thoughts .. the two of you may end up forming a friendship."
"I want to talk to someone in New Directions about this too but I don't know who to confide in."
"Why do you suppose that is?"
"Everyone still despises Jesse for the way he treated me."
"Do you think they'd be more understanding if you tell them he's changed?"
"I hope so."
Ms Pillsbury smiled. "Well Rachel I think we've made some strides in the right direction. When you write the letter don't send it right away. I want to see what you say just in case you have a bit of trouble getting your emotions in order."
"Okay."
Later that afternoon Rachel rushed to the music room hoping to find someone she could confide in. She was happy to see Mercedes doing her biology homework. For once she was happy that Finn wasn't there.
"Hey Mercedes."
Mercedes looked up from what she was doing .
"Hey Rachel what's up?"
"A lot actually. I got a letter from Jesse St James yesterday."
Silence.
"Do you think I should write back to him?"
"Well that all depends, did he apologize for what he did to you last year?"
"Yes. He actually praised myself and all of us on how talented we are."
Mercedes jaw dropped.
"Seriously?"
"Yes."
"I would definitely say he deserves a second chance then."
"I'm so confused though."
"What about?"
"My feelings for him. I wouldn't want to cheat on Finn with him."
"Don't jump the gun. He may jus t want to be friends. Just take things slow."
Rachel gave a warm smile to the person so seemed to be her constant competitor for solos.
"Thanks Mercedes. I really appreciate your advice."
"No worries. I'm here for you if you need to talk about anything."
Rachel made up her mind then and there. She was going to write back to Jesse
