A/N: I'm baaaaack with a new chapter!

It's been a while, but I'm picking up on this again. Hopefully I'll be able to get some more chapters out this week.

Bear with me. I've been sick this week, so this isn't my best work.

I don't really have anything else to ramble about… so read on!

"No. Nononono. I didn't just do that. I have a boyfriend, a lovely, caring boyfriend. I'm not a cheater!I have never cheated on anybody in my entire life, nor do I plan on it..."

Rachel seemed to forget Jesse's presence as she frantically paced back and forth. She hated Jesse with all of her heart thirty minutes ago, and she didn't understand how that changed so quickly. Could he really be that persuading? She didn't think so.

"Get yourself together, Rachel. He's the enemy. You can't go around kissing the enemy."

"I'm an enemy again?"

Rachel whipped around to face Jesse, blushing furiously. He had been listening to her rant the whole time, and a small smile was playing at his lips.

"You okay?"

"Of course not!" Rachel snapped at him. "We just had a heated make out session on my bed, while you very well knew I have a boyfriend! It's… it's just not right, Jesse! I…" Her expression suddenly softened as tears filled her eyes. "I cheated on Finn."

She was suddenly coming into realization with her feelings. Finn meant the world to her, but she loved Jesse, too.

Jesse knew exactly how she felt.

"Rachel, you're going to have to make a choice. Hudson is… barely… smart enough to realize you don't love him anymore. You haven't loved anybody since I left."

"And how do you know?" She asked, her voice thick with tears.

He smirked. "I saw you watching Vocal Adrenaline at regionals. Watching me perform. You could have supported your own teammate as she gave birth, but you didn't. You chose to stay. That tells me all I need to know."

"O-oh." She looked down to hide another blush.

"I think you know what you have to do, Rachel."

"I think so." She looked back up, her eyes puffy and red from silently crying, and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

-THE NEXT DAY-

"You're breaking up with me?"

Finn and Rachel were sitting in the back of the choir room after rehearsal ended. When Rachel told him she wanted to talk, he had no idea she meant this.

"I knew you would say that. It's the basic break-up scenario. I…I read about it online." She smiled tentatively. He didn't smile back.

"But… I don't get it. I love you, Rach. You love me. I know you do." Rachel could see the anger and hurt in Finn's eyes.

"I'm sorry Finn, but I don't love you anymore." She stood up to leave, wanting to end this quickly, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.

"Is it Puck? God, I knew you would go back to him. I'm such an idiot!" He kicked the closest chair, sending it flying into the piano. Rachel yelped quietly in surprise.

"No, it's not Noah," She whispered, looking at the overthrown chair.

"Then who is it?" He was nearly yelling at her now.

"It's nobody," She wasn't going to tell Finn about Jesse. That couldn't result well, and she wasn't planning on taking those chances anytime soon.

Rachel had never seen Finn this angry before. Well, this angry with her. He was always so gentle and kind, only mad if he made a bad play or hit a bad note in Glee. She had always been able to calm him down, but this time she couldn't. She paused, regretting her words, but then she remembered Jesse. She was doing this for him.

Finn's eyes suddenly softened, and he took her hands in his. Rachel squirmed, trying to pull away, but he tightened his grip.

"What did I do wrong?" He was pleading with her now.

"You didn't do anything wrong, Finn. I just… need to take a break, that's all. We can still be friends."

Finn let go of her hands. "I don't think I can do that. Sorry." He stood up, and without looking back, kicked the piano and left the room.

Rachel watched him leave, tears once more filling her eyes. She truly did care about Finn, but she loved Jesse.

Maybe Mr. Schue wouldn't notice the dent in the piano tomorrow.

Her phone suddenly rang and her Barbra Streisand ringtone filled the choir room. The sound of her idol seemed to cheer her up slightly.

"Hello?"

"How'd he take it?" Rachel was glad to her Jesse's confident voice on the other end of the phone.

"Not very well… but he'll be fine. Finn's strong."

"Good. Are you okay?"

"I will be. I have you."

Rachel could almost hear him smiling. "And I have you."

"I'll see you soon, Jesse."

She hung up, a huge grin spreading across her face. It had only been a day, but it felt like she had been with Jesse for a long time. Everything he had done to hurt her seemed to fade away. Jesse was the only thing that mattered.

Maybe forgiveness would be easy after all.
