Chapter 3
Result
Rachel stood up briskly. "Jesse! It's not what it looks like I swear!" Rachel looked so desperate.
"Oh sure! Will gorilla man over here say the same thing?" Jesse said pointing an accusing bony finger at Finn.
"Yeah I will. We tripped over those books because we were joking around because I wanted to see if it was the wiggles that were playing." Finn was resisting the urge to punch Jesse in the face.
Jesse turned back to look at Rachel. Then back at Finn. Rachel looked so heartbroken, so desperate, it shocked Jesse that she was normally quite smart but couldn't see that Jesse was using her. He had almost let it slip twice. But she had never noticed. Even when he spent a whole week at Carmel giving feed to his team mates at Vocal Adrenaline, instead of spending time with Rachel. Finn however was usually quite dumb. But he could see right through Jesse's plan. But Jesse knew he could never tell Rachel as long as she seemed to keep being swept off her feet by Jesse. Finn was glaring daggers at Jesse.
"Really? Did you watch the wiggles as a kid Finn?" Jesse asked.
"Um...yeah for a few years, most people who were born after 1990 or something have." Finn said. He walked out of the room. I'll see you tomorrow Rachel. Bye St. James."
"Hopefully not until Regionals Hudson." Jesse called after him.
Rachel sighed and put her face in her hands. How could everything have gone so wrong?
Jesse glared at her. "Jesse, really I-"
"I'll see you tomorrow Rachel." Jesse said. And walked out.
…
Jesse for once hadn't lied. He had in fact been at a meeting with his glee director. They were discussing everything Jesse had managed to get out of Rachel. Being the most talented in Vocal Adrenaline it hadn't come as a shock when Miss Shelby had told him to befriend Rachel. He had done more than that clearly. This meeting was important because Miss Shelby said that she had someone there who would be able to really help their little plan.
"So what you're saying is that they have been putting Finn and Rachel together for every song?" Shelby asked.
"Yes, every song. The only problem is Rachel likes it."
"Why would she like it?"
"I'm guessing she still likes that Finn Hudson Neanderthal."
"Oh, really you have to bring me a picture of him or something. I just want to know what all of this fuss is about."
Jesse sighed. He looked over his Vocal Adrenaline co-harts and put a genius plan to work in his brain. He made a mental note to go talk to a boy named Big Wally. He didn't get that name as a joke either because he was big, bigger than Finn…
"So, Jesse I have someone from New Directions. A spy if you will." Shelby said.
Suddenly from the side of the stage a girl wearing a coat and a red skirt walked in. Jesse couldn't see her face but he knew he had seen her walk out of the glee classroom when he was there to pick up Rachel. She quickly came over and sat down on Shelby's side of the table.
"Do you have any good information?" Jesse asked.
"It depends," The girl said. "What type of information are you looking for?"
"Something that will bring the club down, a weakness of some sort." Jesse explained.
"Well," she started."The male lead, Finn Hudson has this huge crush on your girlfriend Rachel. That's his weakness. And almost the entire clubs because at Sectionals he almost didn't come and we would have lost."
"How would that help us?" Shelby asked.
"He would do anything and I mean anything for her. Even…risk his life." The girl said.
This intrigued Jesse. "How do you mean by that?"
The girl motioned for them to come in closer. "So, say something 'happened' to Rachel and Finn tried to help her get out of it. And say while he was helping her a 'horrible accident' occurred." Jesse saw the girls lips curl up into an evil grin.
"Keep talking." Jesse said as they leaned in closer so no one could hear.
…
After the girl finished telling the plan it was 7:50 and Jesse needed to be at Rachel's house in ten minutes. Shelby stood up and thanked the girl. She walked off, leaving Jesse and the girl alone.
"You have brilliant plans. But we still might need you for more information. How can I find you at McKinley?" Jesse asked.
The girl revealed her face and said, "Just ask for Santana."
…
The next day in glee club Rachel came in early and took her spot next to Finn. He turned to face her.
"I'm sorry Rachel. If I hadn't bothered you about that CD this wouldn't have happened." Finn said.
"It's not your fault Finn. Jesse just didn't understand that's all." Rachel put on a fake smile.
Just then, Mr. Schuster walked in. "Okay guys I have your results."
The room silenced as Mr. Schuster opened his mouth to speak again. "It is…a three way tie between Tomorrow form Annie, Without Love from Hairspray, and One from a Chorus Line."
There was a confused aura in the room. "So, one of you will come up and sing the song it can be with or without someone else. Then you can say why we should vote for it. The final vote will be on Friday." Mr. Schuster explained.
…
Mr. Schue had chosen to make a fake three way tie for two reasons. One to not make the whole thing seem suspicious to Finn and Rachel. Also, it would give the kids another chance to express themselves through song. One had actually won the vote but Mr. Schue wanted to keep things interesting.
…
Finn walked out of glee rehearsal, grabbed all of the stuff from his locker and headed out for his car. He found a note taped to his windshield. It read:
Hudson,
If you want to keep your little crush happy you should come.
I never called off the fight I suggested to you. But this isn't a
Sing off. Quite the opposite actually.
Parking lot 5:00 be there.
-Jesse St. J
Finn glared as he crumpled the note up in his hands.
…
At 5:00 Finn stood in the parking lot alone.
"I knew this was just a sham." He mumbled.
Just then, the lights of a car appeared they got brighter until the car stopped. Out came Jesse, he walked to the back and opened the back door. A girl stepped out.
"Jesse, remember the plan." She muttered. Finn couldn't quite figure out who it was.
"Of corse, this will be over with in five minutes." Jesse said as he walked towards Finn. Finn's fists balled up as if on instinct. If it was a fight Jesse wanted it would be one hell of a fight he would get. The girl leaned back on the hood of the car.
When Jesse was close enough Finn threw the first punch. It hit Jesse Square in the nose but Jesse just shrugged it off and ignored the blood that was now running down his face. Jesse then punched Finn in the mouth. Blood did start to form in his mouth but Finn just swallowed it. The punches kept going on until Jesse managed to set his foot on a see-saw like log. On the other end there was a rock. Finn didn't notice it he stepped closer to Jesse. His dominant arm was right above the rock.
"Come on St. James! Backing out?"Finn asked. The whole fight thing was starting to get to his head.
"Nope, I'm putting my foot down." Jesse said, smirking as he slammed his foot to the ground, sending the rock right towards Finn's arm.
Finn howled in pain. It rushed through his arm at lightning speed. He knelt down he tried to move it but had no success. He knew from the signs he had glanced at when he was a kid at the doctor's office that his arm was broken. Suddenly, Jesse was standing over him, holding something. He was smirking.
"Night night Hudson." He said. Then slammed whatever he had in his hands down.
"You bastard." Finn mumbled.
Then everything went black.
