Sam waited patiently outside of the classroom, waiting for Rachel too come out. His foot nervously tapped the floor. She finally walks out of the classroom, her hair streaming in the wind. She noticed Sam but walked right past him. Sam immediately follows her without questioning himself. She stops at her locker and she awkwardly still pretends that she didn't see him waiting or following or standing right in front of her. "Rachel, hey," Sam said to her, trying to keep calm but he couldn't help it; his nerves were getting the best of him. Rachel struggled with the things in her locker before finally looking back at Sam. "Sorry, but I really got to get to class." Rachel closed her locker, tilted her head slightly and gave him an obviously fake smile then walked straight down the hallway.

"Oh…" Sam tried to say. But he couldn't help but think what this meant. Did Rachel not feel something special? He sighed as he tried to continue down the hallway, but it was bothering him.

It was Rachel's free period. After her encounter with Sam, she decided she needed some relaxing. She went to the auditorium to see if anyone was there, fortunately no one was. She walked slowly down the paths between the seats and started singing.

I breathe in, breathe out, gotta get a grip.

Were done, no doubt, was it worth the trip?

I breathe in, I breathe out, I'm trying.

Not going to let you suffocate me.

She purposely slowed down the song and soon she was standing on the stage, she breathed out the last line, meaning her words.

No matter how long it takes, I gotta breathe you out.

"Nice," a familiar voice said, slightly clapping. Rachel's head immediately shot up. Jesse appeared from the second row. Rachel put her head back down; she couldn't believe it, she didn't believe it and she was trying to convince herself it wasn't happening. "Who was that about?" he asked, making his way up the stage as Rachel backed further and further away. Rachel waited until he was on the stage. Jesse took a deep breath. "Wh-What are you doing here?" Rachel asked blankly, pain in her voice.

"Rachel…" Jesse said, moving closer to her. She flinched and moved backwards even more, almost bumping in to some stage equipment. "Just hear me out." He said calmly. Rachel stopped leaning on the equipment. She straightened her posture and plastered a look that kills on her face. She took slow steps towards Jesse, tears slowly building up behind her eyes. "No." she simply whispered when their faces were about two inches apart. "You broke…my heart. You betrayed me. You betrayed my friends. You…are a liar." Jesse watched her intently, watching the brown eyes that he had grown to miss. Everything stayed silent for a while and they just stood there. "You broke my heart!" Rachel screamed as she slid down to the floor and started crying. The doors of the auditorium burst open. "What's going on here?" Sam yelled as he stormed in. He had heard Rachel's scream from outside, it was ear piercing. Jesse's head shot around to face the blonde that he'd never seen before.

"Who're you?" Jesse asks, sounding disgusted. Sam ignores the question as his eyes land on a broken down Rachel. Rachel gets herself together. She stood up quickly and wiped the tears gently off of her face. She swallowed before turning to face Sam who was halfway down the paths. "Sam, can you excuse us please." She asked, still trying to hold back tears. Sam hesitates for a moment and looks back and forth between Rachel and the guy he didn't know. He gave Jesse a half death glare before turning around. Rachel kept an eye on Sam until he was gone. Her attention returned to Jesse, her eyes taking careful blinks as she tried to study what in the world could be going through his mind. Jesse finally spoke up.

"Rachel, I know I've got some explaining to do. And I will. But as for now, I miss you. Your insanity, your drama, the sound of your voice. Everything." Jesse says sincerely.

"I don't understand what you're getting at." She shook her head.

"Let me take you to prom, and we will sort things out. Just give me a chance to make things right." Rachel still hesitates. She really wants to believe him, but she just can't.

"I'll think about it." She nods before quickly heading out. Jesse's satisfied. He decided to stay for a while, maybe sing something.
