I own nothing but the plot of this story.
Its been two days since he last saw Rachel..two days since that kiss..that wonderful kiss that the two shared. The kiss that made Jesse even more confused now. He was pretty sure he was gay but now he was questioning himself and well he really needed his best friend right now. He laid back on his bed as he sighed, it was not the same to not see her every minutes of the day or even talking to her over the phone. Every time he tried to call her she would just ignore him, he hated how this was turning out just cause of some silly kiss they shared.
Rachel was sitting in her room as she looked around her room, she couldn't believe she kissed him. That was the biggest mistake she has ever made right now. She just sighed as she looked down as a single tear ran down her cheek. She ruined everything and she didn't even have the gut to even face him now. She heard her phone vibrate as she picked it up and looked at it.
Jess: Rach..please talk to me..I miss my best friend. Please don't let what happened a few days ago ruin that..
Rach: Jess..I just need time to think right now ok..I shouldn't of done what I did and I am truly sorry.
Jesse: Rach, it was just a kiss..a silly kiss that didn't mean anything…
'A silly kiss that didn't mean anything' that really got her as more tears ran down her cheeks as she began to cry, she couldn't believe he just said that as she curled up on her bed just letting the tears escape her eyes. It wasn't just a silly kiss..and it did mean something She thought to herself. Maybe this was a sign..maybe she shouldn't be friends with him anymore then maybe this heart break will go away..she just couldn't handle this anymore and well maybe ending things with Jesse will make her feel better than what she was doing now. Rachel took a deep breath as she stood up and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked quite horrible right now, she looked at her phone as she called a certain number.
"Hello Puckerman resident, Puck speaking." She heard the familiar voice spoke on the other line as she took in a deep breath. "Hey Noah its Rachel..you know that offer you made me yesterday..well I accept it..I will go on a date with you." Rachel spoke with confidence.
Maybe going on a date with someone else would help her forget about Jesse, she needed to forget about him. She had to think about herself and not someone else.
"Really? Awesome I will pick you up on Friday ok?" Noah spoke as Rachel put on a fake smile. "Yes Friday works for me, see you then." She spoke softly as she closed her phone and sighed. She couldn't believe she agreed to go on a date with Noah Puckerman but she had to in her mind this was the only way to forget about Jesse. Rachel looked at her nightstand as there stood a picture of her and Jesse..it was a picture they took at some restaurant they went to for her birthday. She was already missing Jesse right now but she had to forget about him..forgetting about him would help her forget about her crush.
She sighed as she looked down before standing up as she got a box as she started putting everything that reminded her of Jesse in it. She just let another tear fall down her face just looking at everything she was putting in the box, years of memories were going into but she stopped at the last item, it was another picture in a hand made picture frame..it was a picture of there first day of going to high school..that was the best day of her life cause at first she wasn't sure they would even be going to the same high school but the moment he moved into his aunt and uncles house and shared the news with her, well that was the best day of her life and well his life also. Now here she was ending there friendship and putting away every memory they had into a box and putting it away to where she would never see it again. Rachel stood up as she knew the one thing she had to do, she grabbed some sheet music as she stood up and took a deep breath as she looked at her reflection. Tomorrow in glee club she would be performing a song, they were just coming up with a few songs that they could possibly use for sectionals and well Rachel was pretty sure she had the right song.
Jesse couldn't handle being in his house right now as he got out of his house, he needed to get out and clear his mind. He didn't understand what was going on after the last text message he sent Rachel he didn't receive any back..did he say something wrong? He didn't think he did cause he was pretty sure they both felt that way..that the kiss was just a silly kiss. But maybe it wasn't? Maybe the kiss did mean something? Oh gosh how could he be so stupid of course the kiss meant something..other wise she wouldn't be acting this way and here he was telling her that the kiss didn't mean anything. Jesse looked at the time as he quickly began jogging to Rachel's house, he needed to fix things with her before they were too late, yeah he can't do much about the kiss but he could at least do something to fix there friendship.
After about a couple of minutes he was soon standing in front of her door as he knocked on the door waiting for someone to answer. Once he saw the door open he saw one of Rachel's dads standing there as Jesse smiled softly at him, "Hey Mr. Berry is Rachel home?" Jesse asked, hoping that she was. He soon saw the disappointment look on his face, "Sorry son she isn't here she just left somewhere." He smiled a bit as Jesse nodded his head, "Oh ok can you tell her I dropped by and really need to talk to her?" Rachel's dad nodded his head, "Sure thing it was nice seeing you though Jesse.", "It was nice seeing you too, bye." Jesse waved goodbye before walking off as he sighed, where could Rachel be..he was sure she would be at his house but he guessed wrong.
Rachel was standing in front of her window as she watched Jesse walk away from her house. He eyes were puffy from crying, she made sure her dad would tell Jesse every time he came by that she wasn't here, she didn't want to see him at this point and she was trying to push him away and well so far it was slowly working. She hated pushing her best friend away but this was the only thing she had to do to make her broken hear to go away. Rachel sighed as she looked down before closing her curtains.
Jesse was slowly walking away from Rachel's house as he felt someone looking at him as he stopped walking and turned around and noticed Rachel's curtains move. From that moment he knew Rachel was there and her dad was probably only saying what Rachel wanted. Maybe Rachel didn't want to see him anymore, this caused his hear to ache knowing Rachel was doing this. Was she pushing him away because of that kiss? Jesse sighed as he continued his journey back home on this dark lonely night.
It was finally Friday, the day of Rachel's date but right now it was the day to perform songs for the glee club and Rachel was prepared with a song, a song she thought was perfect that would work for this situation. As Rachel sat on the opposite side of the room from Jesse she just tried to put her main focus on Mr. Schue who was just talking the moment he asked if anyone wanted to sing there song first Rachel instantly raised her hand.
"Mr. Schue I would like to volunteer to go first..cause well I have the perfect song I would like to sing." Rachel spoke as she stood up and walked to the band and told them what song she was going to be singing. As the music began to play Jesse just looked at Rachel he knew exactly what song Rachel was singing and well he wasn't going to hesitate to joining in.

Turn Around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming around
Turn Around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn Around,
Rachel couldn't believe Jesse was singing with her, she was hoping this wasn't going to happen but she was proven wrong. The sound of his voice just caused her heart to ache even more then it already was. She was trying to prevent the tears from escaping her eyes but one single tear did.
The rest of the glee club was just clueless on what was going on right now, cause usually Jesse and Rachel were all smiles and hugging and talking to each other none stop but they even noticed the change in the two.
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Rachel and Jesse were looking at each other, Jesse could see the sad look in Rachel's eyes and he knew this was goodbye but he didn't want it to be but he knew when Rachel made a decision there was no way he could change it..no matter how much it hurt either of them.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight Forevers gonna start tonight
Rachel looked at Jesse as tears did run down her cheeks, she knew Jesse understood what was going to happen after today and well no matter how much she was going to hate herself for this but she was only looking out for herself and well if that meant hurting someone you love then so be it.
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do - A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was a light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say - A total eclipse of the heart
Jesse looked at Rachel as they were face to face right now as the music was just playing right now. "Rachel..please don't tell me this is what I think it is.." Jesse whispered to her, Rachel put on a sad smile on her face as he moved her hand to the side of his face, "Im sorry Jesse." she whispered as she began to walk off a bit, Jesse wasn't going to give up with out a little bit of a fight but the song still needed to go.
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes,
Every now and then I fall apart
Rachel did stop walking as she sighed, she couldn't just leave right now she needed to finish this song no matter how much it was breaking her heart just hearing his voice and seeing him.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Rachel stopped walking as she looked at Jesse from a distance as she was standing by the door with tears in her eyes. She needed to get out of here as soon as possible and she didn't even care what anyone was going to say she was just a heart broken girl who wanted out of this crazy mess she got herself into.
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do - A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Once she said her last line she shook her head as more tears fell from her eyes as she left the choir room, not being able to handle seeing Jesse anymore, this was goodbye and she knew Jesse already knew it.
Turn around, bright eyes…
Jesse sang the last words once Rachel left the room, this was now the end of the beginning but a beginning of a new future..he just lost the one real person that meant something to him and it all started with a kiss. He didn't think he would be able to fix this now.
The whole choir room was quiet..even Mr. Schue couldn't even think of what to say..cause everyone seemed to understand what just happened between Jesse and Rachel. It was something they never thought was going to happen.
Rachel's and Jesse's 17 year friendship was now over.
