Jesse stared at Reagan as she walked around the stage, in the middle of the meet and greet, she got a phone call and she said it was necessary that she answered it. Jesse watched her pace around the other end of the stage, she running a hand through her hair, and the way she was pacing reminded Jesse of something that happened so long ago, he was surprised that he remembered.
(Cut From Finally Believing Chapter 22)
Jesse went back into the costume room to get his jacket that he threw into the Vocal Adrenaline closet. When he opened the door, he saw Reagan, pacing along the other side of the room, she looked worried, and when the door shut behind Jesse, Reagan jumped and looked up. "Oh, it's you." She said sighing. Jesse smiled a little, but it faded when he saw the look of worry in her eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Jesse asked, stepping forward to Reagan, and she sat down on one of the couches.
"I'm waiting for everyone else to come back from the dressing room with their costumes, and I'm the one with our copy of the key to here, so I was hanging out in here waiting for them, and I thought that you were Chase."
"Chase?" Jesse asked. "He's not in a glee club is he?" Regan shook her head.
"No, but he came here with Sue, and he's been trying to get me alone ever since he's arrived, and I really don't want to talk to him." She said. Standing back up and pacing again. "he's going to try and get me back, and I really don't want to see him, he freaking slept with someone else and expects me to be okay with this? 'Cuz guess what St. James, I can't do that!" She said, her steps quickening and Jesse stood up and grabbed her hand, when she finally stopped he hugged her.
"Just relax, it's going to be fine, he won't bother you." He said. He felt like he was telling the truth, until Reagan pulled away and looked at him.
"What are we doing Jesse?" She asked. Jesse looked confused.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this," She pointed to herself, than him, then back. "I have no clue what's going on with you, but it feels like you're hitting on me."
"Do you want me to?" Jesse asked quirking an eyebrow and smirking. Reagan shrugged.
"I don't know what to think right now," She said, right when someone knocked on the door and called her name, New Directions had finally arrived. Reagan went to get the door, but Jesse quickly walked over there.
"I'll get it," He said opening the door for Finn, who wasn't carrying a box so he could hold the door. "I'll see you later Reagan," Jesse said before walking out the door.
Reagan had gotten off the phone when Jesse finished his little flashback. Reagan smiled apologetically at everyone. "Sorry," she said, "that was my agent, telling me how she thought the interview went this morning." She said. Everyone nodded, and they had small conversations with Jesse about the schedule of rehearsals, and then everyone parted ways to get ready for the show that night. As Reagan was walking out the door, Jesse ran up behind her.
"Hey Reagan!" He called after her. She turned around and looked at him.
"What's up?" She asked, turning around.
"Are you free right now? You know, to get coffee and catch up, I haven't seen you in a few years." Reagan checked her phone for the time, and looked back up at him.
"I can't, I have to go, maybe some other time." She said, calling the last part over her shoulder.
"Yeah see you," He said to her retreating back, but she couldn't hear. "Shit," He muttered. "She remembers."
Reagan knew that hailing a taxi in the middle of December, so close to Time Square, was a bad idea because of all the tourists going Holiday Shopping and going to see the tree, but she hailed one anyways, she was cold, and needed to get to her apartment, which was on the other side of Time Square, and she needed to get there because Puck was coming over to work on songs.
To make money during college, Reagan and Puck combined their talents of playing the guitar and their singing voices (and in Reagan's case, being able to play the piano) they got together, wrote songs, and recorded them in one of their dorm rooms (they both went to NYU to study music and acting), they would sell their CD's when they went to gigs at open mic nights, and once, they played in the middle of Time Square for the people waiting in the half price Broadway ticket line. They made pretty good money, but they haven't been signed by anybody yet, so it works out for them because now they're both focusing on their Broadway careers, Reagan as Wednesday Addams, and Puck was playing Johnny in American Idiot.
Reagan gave the driver a 20 dollar bill to pay for the ride, thanked him, and then walked into her apartment building. Her buildings doorman greeted her at the door. "Good morning Reagan," he said (he used to call her Ms. Hudson, but she told him not to) His name was Paul and he had a thick British accent, and the funny thing is, he knows almost everything about the Beatles, so Reagan calls him PJ (Paul Jr, for Paul McCartney).
"Hey PJ, how's it going?" She asked while going over to his desk, while he sat down on the other side.
"It's going well thank you," he said.
"Hey, do I have any mail?" She asked while pushing the button for the elevator. Paul shook his head.
"No, not yet, but your brother did come downstairs for your extra key around twenty minutes ago, so don't panic when you see him there." Reagan smiled, thanked Paul and entered the elevator. She pushed the 15 button and as the elevators closed she wondered what Finn wanted.
When Finn and Rachel returned to their apartment, the first thing Finn did was fall asleep on the couch. He hated interviews for Good Morning America or the Today Show, because they always had to get up seriously early. And he needed sleep to be prepared for his show tonight. He was playing Drew, which was pretty damn epic because, well it was a pretty damn epic part, and he loved it, he loved the songs he got to sing, and the cast and everyone else, and he was really excited for this show tonight, because his parents were coming down for the weekend to see everyone from New Directions. Sam was actually in Mamma Mia playing Sky (he went to NYU with Puck, Reagan, Finn, Tina and Artie for Music and Theater), Artie was music director for Mary Poppins, Tina is a makeup designer, Mike is a choreographer, and Santana and Brittany are actually on tour as back up dancers for Beyonce. Quinn plays Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins.
When Finn woke up, Rachel wasn't there, but she left a note.
Finn,
Went to get coffee with Quinn and Tina, I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow, so if you're hungry Reagan says she has food in her fridge.
Love You,
Rachel
As Finn read that his stomach grumbled, and he thought that going to his sister's apartment was a good idea. He took the elevator to the lobby and went up to the security desk. "Hey Paul," He said "can I have the spare key to Regan's apartment?" Paul nodded and pulled a small envelope with Reagan's name and apartment number and handed it to Finn. Finn thanked him and then took the elevator back up to the 15th floor. Reagan's apartment was right next door to his, 154 B. When he reached the door he opened the door and walked into the kitchen. On his way, he saw the message light on the answering machine blinking, so he pushed it and bent down to write down the message on the pad of paper that Reagan has on the table next to it.
"Hey Reagan , it's Jesse, listen I was just calling to say it was great to see you today and I really hope we can go get coffee sometime this week. So just call me back or I'll just see you later. Bye."
Finn smiled, Reagan had a new guy in her life, but he had a weird name. Finn straightened up when he heard a key in the lock and Reagan walked through the door, throwing her key into the bowl on the table next to the door. "Hey Finn, here for food?" She asked as she threw her bag onto the couch in her living room area, and walked into her kitchen.
"Yeah, actually, but hey you had a message." He said handing her the paper that he wrote it on. Reagan took it, looked at it, and rolled her eyes, before hanging it up on the message bulletin board in her hallway. "Soo, who's Jesse?" He asked, wanting to know more about the guy that's calling his sister. Reagan stared at him.
"Are you dumb?" She asked as she pulled out bread and cheese from his fridge to make him a grilled cheese.
"Uhh, no, but should I know who Jesse is? I mean the only Jesse that we both know is St. Ja-" As he began to say the last name, realization dawned on his face, as Reagan nodded as she sprayed the pan. "Reagan," he started "why are you talking to St. James?" He demanded.
"He may be replacing Wesley," She said not looking at him.
"WHAT?" Finn demanded. He hated Jesse, not just because of what he did to Rachel, but what he did to Reagan too. Suddenly the door knocked and Reagan ran to let Puck in.
"Whoa, man, what's with all the yelling? Oh Ray, you know you want to make me a grilled cheese too." Puck said, sitting in the stool next to Finn. Reagan nodded, and Finn turned to Puck.
"Jesse is going to be playing Lucas in the Addams Family, and yes I mean Jesse St. James." Finn said to Puck, which made Puck get red with anger. Oh, he remembered the last time he saw Jesse, and Finn and Reagan did too.
(Cut from Finally Believing Chapter 24)
As New Directions walked into the hotel lobby to get to the airport to go back home, they saw Vocal Adrenaline doing the same, Finn, Puck, Matt, and Mike looked at each other and told everyone that they would be right back. Reagan looked at them; she knew exactly what they were going to be doing. They walked up to their enemy glee club and asked to talk to Jesse. Jesse nodded and the boys led him to the men's bathroom. When they past New Directions, Reagan stood up and grabbed Puck's hand.
"No blood please." She begged. Puck nodded and followed the boys into the bathroom.
"What's up?" Jesse asked stupidly. Finn and Mike shrugged as Matt stayed leaning against the door, and Puck snuck up behind Jesse and held Jesse's arms behind his back, as Finn punched him in the gut.
"That was for Rachel," He said, then he punched him in the face, "That was for my sister," and then Finn kneed him in the groin. "And that," Finn said, "was for being a jackass." He finished, stepping back to let the guy's have their turn at using Jesse as a punching bag.
When they were finished, and Reagan saw Jesse emerge from the bathroom, she stared. He was walking weirdly, and had the making of a few bruises on his face, but just like Puck promised: no blood.
"I swear to God Ray if he tries anything I will kill him. And this time, there will be blood." Puck said. While Finn wholeheartedly agreed, Reagan tried to smile at them but she was just remembering what happened.
Operation Destroy New Directions…
I'm not in love with him...
You're not sorry, no no oh…
Finn saw how his sister looked slightly upset. And then he thought of something….If Reagan, who never really even dated Jesse, is upset about seeing him again….
What was Rachel's reaction going to be?
