DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Rachel caught a cab to her apartment. She was already aware that Jessie was following her, but Finn wasn't here to help her. That's when it hit her… Finn isn't here!

"Driver, I don't care if I'm the one that gets a ticket, but I can't have this person following me. Get me to my apartment as fast as you can!"

Flashback

"Oh, and just so you know, old, shy, scared of you Rachel is gone, new Rachel is here!"

Truth was, she was stilled petrified of Jessie, but she couldn't let him know that. She had to tell herself she was over him and wasn't scared of him. The first of that would be easy, she was over him, but the second part…

"DRIVER!"

"Okay, geez lady."

"Don't you geez lady me, you would do the same thing if you had your ex, who is basically a maniac that is out to get you, following you."

"I don't know…maybe… I probably would."

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

Just then she stepped on the gas and was going the quickest way to get to her apartment.

"So, may I ask darling, what's your name?"

"Rachel… Rachel Berry. I'm headed to Julliard."

"Julliard… so you're a singer?"

"Yeah…and actress."

"You want to go big."

"Yeah, so what's your name?"

"Mariah…I don't know my real last name, I was adopted when I was 12."

"If you don't mind, how old are you?"

"I am 23."

"So, have you always wanted to be a cab driver?"

"Yes, but for a certain reason."

"Why is that?"

"Oh, look, we're at your apartment, and I think we lost him."

"Thanks." She said giving her the money. "You'll tell me tomorrow."

She headed into her apartment and all her stuff was already there. She had had her dad's fly her stuff out early. It was already up in her room, but she had to put everything away. The key was already in the door, so she just headed in. She started with the furniture, which took her, what seemed like, forever. Then after about, 2 hours of that (to be exact), she headed to her pink bed. That only took about and hour or so. Finally she headed to the desk, and the dressers. That took about 2 and half hours. She put the computer on the desk and that only took like a half hour. She set up accessories (phone, curtains, ect.) She booted up her computer while she was putting dishes and silverware away. She headed to the computer remembering Finn told her to check her Facebook. She opened up the internet and when she logged into Facebook, she saw a relationship request.

Finn Hudson has requested to be 'in a relationship' with you.

She hit confirm and then she went to her profile. She forgot her picture was still a plain gold star. She knew Kurt was one to look to for pictures. She went to Kurt's profile and looked through his pictures. She found the perfect one; it was the one Finn had had previously (on his phone) before changing it. She 'picniked' it to say 'he is my everything' in blue and pink. After saving her picture, she made it her profile picture. Finn was online, but she didn't know it. She then heard a 'Can't Fight This Feeling' and she knew it was her 'babe'.

"Hey, babe!"

"I saw your profile picture and I loved it!"

"Awww… thanks!"

"Did you see mine?"

"No, but I'll look at it."

She went to his profile and it was the picture they both had on her phone.

"Kurt told me he was snapping a picture, when Quinn was, at the airport."

"Of course! Guess who I ran into at the airport?"

"Who?"

"Jessie St. Jerk. He told me it was just like sophomore year, only no Finn Hudson."

"WHAT?"

"Shhh, babe, I told him you could be out here in 24 hours. Have you left yet?"

"Tomorrow."

"That's when I start at Julliard."

"We have to call each other tomorrow, it's gonna take me, like 7 or 8 hours to get there."

"It took me like 5 or 6 hours to get to New York."

"Well, I'm leaving at 6:00 in the morning, so I should be getting there around 1or 2."

"Okay, I get out of school about 5:30"

"Call me at 6:00. I have to get situated in my apartment. I have movers that are gonna' do most the work for me."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"You moved in all by yourself? RACHEL!"

"Finn, it's fine. I may look small, but when you date you, you learn some things."

He laughed really hard at that. By now Rachel was on the couch watching The Office.

"I miss you so much!"

"I miss you too! My ring tone for you is 'When you're gone' by Avril Lavigne."

"Mine is 'Can't Fight This Feeling', but I think I am going to change it to when I look at you and have a picture of you when it rings."

"Awww… thanks."

"Anything for you. Even though, it was kinda' for me."

"Yeah, I guess it was."

"I want to talk, but I don't know what to talk about, I just want to hear your voice as long as I can."

"I know, me too. I miss falling asleep with your arms around me and me listening to your breathing."

"What?" She never knew he did that.

"Yeah, I mean, I really liked the feel of it and your breathing was like a song of its own."

"Okay, you are starting to sound like a stalker." She got up and walked to the kitchen to get some food for dinner. She saw Jessie standing outside her apartment. There is now way he got into the same apartment as her. "Speaking of stalkers, I think Jessie had just become one."

"Why?"

"Because, we just, on accident, a coincidence, ended up in the same apartment building."

"I am going to kill that basta-"

"Finn, calm down. I can take care of myself and… Finn… I'm freaking out!"

"Shhh…, baby what I want you to do is call downstairs with the home phone, so I can stay on this phone. Tell them if he asks what room you are in, not to tell them."

"Okay." She went to get the phone and then dialed downstairs. "Hello? If a Jessie asks what room Rachel Berry is in, please don't tell him, under any circumstances. I'll pay you next time I leave."

"Yes Miss Berry, I can do that."

"Thank you, that's all." She hung up.

"Okay, now, if you hear a knock on the door, I want you to look through the hole and if it isn't him you can open it, if it is him, lock the door and sit down on the couch. When I say lock it, I mean bolt it, chain it, the whole 9 yards."

"Okay, thank you Finn." She then heard a knock on the door. She looked through the whole, how in the world could it have been him? She had just called- he had probably sent him up before I called. Anyway, she locked the door, turned off the lights and went and sat on the couch. "Finn , he knocked, I did what you said but I still am really scared, I need you here, Finn."

"No you don't. You'll be fine. I promise."

"Are you sure?"

"I said I promised."

"Okay, just keep talking to me, or at least stay on the other line." She fell asleep around 10:00ish. He got his wish, he got to here her song, her breathing. He barely got any sleep that night, only, like 3 hours. Jessie ended up going away, knowing she wouldn't answer the door.

Rachel woke up around nine, she had to be at Julliard by noon, at least that is when new students had to be there. She took a shower and then picked out a black skirt and a pink sweater where the sleeves went to the elbow. She got out Finn's favorite pair of knee highs socks. They were pink and had hearts all over them. He had kissed them once so, whenever she wore them, she would have good luck. And, of course, today she needed all the luck she could get.

It was about 11:00 now, she had to eat something simple. She couldn't eat anything too heavy, she was too nervous. She couldn't eat nothing, she had to eat something to tide her over until lunch, which wasn't until 3:00, why did it have to be so late?

She decided to eat yogurt with granola and fruit in it. After she ate that, she grabbed her keys off the table. She headed downstairs and then waited for a cab. It wasn't Mariah, it was this creepy dude, so they didn't even talk. Julliard was only about a half hour away from her place. When she go there, she knew it was nothing like McKinley, it was bigger (she knew it would be). It seemed like everyone were friends. It seemed like everyone was here for one reason, to be a famous singer and/or actress. Overall, it was different.

She headed to class, which was in the 'Broadway' wing and room 238. When she got there, everyone looked at her like she was a freak.

"Who invited 'Little Bo Geek'?"

"Excuse me and what would your name be?"

"I'm Hannah, and who are you?"

"I'm Rachel Berry." She held out her hand to shake it, but when Hannah just ignored her, she put her hand down.

"Yeah, you look like a Berry, with all of those colors."

Before Rachel could say anything she heard of voice she recognized, "You guys, stop. Everyone knows Berries aren't pink.", it couldn't be, could it, he was officially stalking her.

Without turning around she said "Well, I'd rather be a berry than a bad singer." She heard the "ohhhh"s and "burn"s.

"Oh, I would rather have a bad voice and friends, than be a berry with no friends."

"Correction, I have a boyfriend, I have kept him for a 3 whole years, since, sophomore year, I believe it was."

"I can't believe someone would like a pink, small, berry." He ran up behind her and was about to saw something when she heard…

"YOU GUYS! Stop it!" She didn't recognize this voice, so she turned around. She saw a blonde haired girl, she was tall , and had blue eyes.

"Thanks." They shook hands. "Rachel Berry."

"Alyssa Fabray."

"Did you say Fabray?"

"Yeah?"

"I went to school with someone by that last name. Quinn?"

"Yeah, she's my sister."

"None of us knew she had a sister. In fact I think I am the only one that knows, as of now."

"Well I am older than her by like 5 or 6 years."

"Oh, okay. So we would've never been in high school with you or anything."

"No. So that is why you might not have known about me."

Just then the teacher walked in. "Hello class, I will be your teacher for the next 9 weeks." It couldn't be, it wasn't. Rachel turned around and saw it was Sandy Patterson. How in the world did he get a job at this school, she would never know.

During class, she realized, Sandy had gotten a lot better at teaching. He wasn't the same creeper that started glee club in the first place. The next 2 and a half hours went by pretty fast. All they talked about were the rules and what they would be doing. At the end of the semester they would be performing 'Wicked', and Rachel was so excited when she heard that.

After class, her and Alyssa headed to lunch.

"So, seemed like you knew Jessie."

"Yeah, he's my ex, now I am with Finn Hudson. Jessie was being a jerk to all of the glee club and Jessie wasn't Finn."

"Finn Hudson the quarterback?"

"Yeah, we liked each other from the start."

".Gosh. You are so lucky. That boy is fine."

"I know and he is all mine."

They both laughed at that. They talked a little bit more and then they headed off in separate directions. When Rachel got to her apartment she heard someone say something, didn't know who, in the hallway.

"Come along with me, we have some things to do." And then the person grabbed her arm and pulled her down the hallway. The next thing she knew she was in a bed with her shirt all ripped up and her skirt, too. The guy that did this too her had already left, so she still didn't know who did it. She ran out the hall downstairs where there were people but told them not to worry about it. She was dealing with it. She dialed Finn's number.

"Finn? Someone…I think Raped me, I don't know who, but I don't think it was Jessie."

"WHAT!"

"Calm down, but Finn I really need you out here right now, I understand you just got there but-" Before she knew it she heard him ruffling through his dresser and then the door slamming.

"I am on my way. I don't care if I have to ride in the worst seat in the plane I will get there as soon as possible."

"Finn, thank you! I love you!"

"I love you too, babe, I have to go now though."

"Okay, talk to you soon."
