Disclaimer: I do not own Glee...I don't understand why i can't.

It had now been 6 years 345 days 5 hours since she had last spoken to him, since she had last seen him. 6 years later and she couldn't forget him, stuck in a loveless marriage with the man people considered her high school sweetheart. Their relationship seemed prefect from the outside, but they both knew the ruins were held in the foundation of their relationship. It had been doomed from the beginning, they both knew it yet, exactly 3 years after the start of their relationship he had proposed, to any small minded girl from Lima, Ohio it would have been extremely romantic a moment that would remain in their memory until the end of time. For her, she felt nothing but indifference a sense of enveloping imaginary chains tying her down to the place she longed to leave. She had accepted too kind hearted to break the poor boys heart, you could call her acceptance an act of charity, her yes was full of regret and pity for the boy on his knee in front of her. She had apparently refined her acting skills those past three years because the next thing she knew he was sliding the ring on her finger and lifting her off the ground with a kiss she assumed was one of complete happiness. The next few months since then had been a blur the preparations for her wedding moved by in a perfect bliss. She vaguely remembered trying on the wedding dress she had worn, the one which she had not had the heart to keep and threw out like yesterdays garbage. She felt no remorse for leading him on, now a man she was positive the boy she once knew had gained a brain he should have figured out she was never truly over Him.

Disrupted from her thoughts, he barged through the door a wicked smile on his face. She feared the look in his eyes not that she'd ever admit it, but nonetheless she feared the way he looked at her like he saw right through her. He stopped stalking towards her and slammed down a group of papers. She stared at him for quite a while and then at the papers, her eyes widened as she took in the sight before her. On the very cover of every magazine was the announcement of The St. James wedding, everyone had been itching to know if it actually existed. There it was his fiancé flaunting her ring about on the red carpets and she felt the tears well up in her eyes. He came to sit by her clicked on the TV. For a few minutes he was silent then turned towards her the malicious tone in his voice when he said "Well, it seems as though he'll soon be off the market Rachel. How does it feel to know the love of your life has moved on perfectly without you?" it broke her.

The boy, no, man that was supposedly getting happily married in about 4 months didn't know what to do. He had proposed because it was what was expected. She had been his safe choice a perfectly nice girl off broadway she had decent talent and was very beautiful that much he could not deny, but she would never be Her. He had heard of her marriage to Hudson, the romantic proposal, the beautiful wedding, the beauty she was walking down the aisle. The beauty she still was haunted him so. His thoughts were broken by the slam of a door, his fiancé had tear streaks running down her face and more were escaping her eyes. He panicked not knowing how to deal with this, Cindy had always been a happy person, smiling on a daily basis he suspected there was a broken girl underneath it all but truly she held a very vivacious personality. Not as vivacious as hers but nonetheless existent. He worriedly asked what was wrong and that's when she started with the yelling...

"As if you ever cared I know all about her Jesse the girl to who your heart truly belongs to, the Rachel I've tried so hard to live up to, the girl you'll never forget ever and I cant do this anymore. I can't, Jesse it hurts so much to be so completely in love with you and know your heart is elsewhere. So, I'm calling off the wedding you won't be tied to me in any way shape or form. Leave now I never want to speak to you again go find the girl that took all the love your heart had to offer, go to the girl that no one will ever live up to in your book because no one will love you the way I did, not even she." he stared at her wide eyed the girl he had managed to completely figure out, had in a few short minutes just blown his mind. His realization was cut short by the words that would forever have cut the deepest, "because if she had, she'd be here right now. She wouldn't be off married to the boy she fell in love with in high school" and that was it he got up no goodbye and slammed the door on his way out. He felt his heart shatter for the love he had lost, for the love he still had, it shattered for the girl that entered the apartment with tear filled eyes doubting the potential she truly had all because of him. He had to find her Rachel berry was going to be his regardless of the consequences. No matter how terrible and sinful his actions would become he needed to find her, she was his and he knew but the hole in his Chest widened as he remembered Cindy's words, they rang in pure honesty from her heart but what did she know he thought to himself, she didn't know true love from the fake, he had evaded her for all these years why now. And then he saw it The large billboard across her building marking infiltrated territory, Rachel Barbara Berry stood announced as Fanny Brice in the revival of Funny Girl, she had come home, their home. And he was damned if he wasn't gonna be her Nick Arnstein.
