Thanks for the reviews, favourites and alerts, everything. I dont own Glee.
Rachel walked out of the auditorium, a few tears still on her face. She saw Sam waiting for her by the door once again, but decided not to ignore him this time. Sam stumbled before walking down the hallway beside her. "Who was that?" he asked, trying to keep up with her impeccable speed. Rachel sighed before answering. "He's um, Jesse St James" Rachel said, biting her lip and taking a sideways look at Sam, wondering if he knew.
"Wait. The Jesse ? From vocal adrenaline?" Rachel raised her eyebrows at him, her question answered. . She continued with hesitation again. "Yeah. He um, came to spy and then went back to vocal adrenaline and…it's just kind of a long story." She looked at Sam to see his reaction, then seeing that he wasn't beside her anymore. She turned around, eyes wide and saw him running furiously back to the auditorium. "Oh, crap." Rachel said to herself before fast-walking through the students to find him.
All she knew was that it couldn't be good. As she got inside the auditorium she was just in time to see Sam start yelling at Jesse, who was still in the auditorium. "What do you think you're doing? You're not welcome at this school!" Rachel wanted to know why Sam was so furious with him, he hadn't even known Jesse. Jesse slightly shook his head while saying,
"Okay seriously, who are you?" and rather calmly too. Rachel ran up the stage and she quickened her pace after seeing Sam angrily tackle Jesse to the ground. But Rachel was also scared. She was on the stage soon enough while they were still fighting. Only now they were standing up, trading punches and kicks and trying to get the other on the ground since they were both about the same built. Rachel stood in shock, her hands cupped around her mouth, until she decided to do something. She walked behind them and tried to get them to stop. They completely ignored Rachel, too focused on each other. The fight was getting worse, Rachel had no choice. She cautiously cut into the middle and tried to push Jesse forward since he was in front of her.
Sam seemed to come to his senses and stopped fighting but Jesse still looked directly passed Rachel too Sam, who had punched him for no apparent reason to Jesse. His fist swung and hit Rachel's face and they both watched the accident unfold in slow motion. Soon Rachel found herself on the floor, she felt liquid flow down her nose and she felt weak. Sam simply shook his head and glared at Jesse before picking Rachel up bridal style and carrying her to the nurse's office. Rachel wasn't clear what was going on, she just felt a pain on her nose and somehow the rest of her body. But that hole in her heart didn't fill either when she saw Jesse. She finally regained her full consciousness and found herself lying down on an uncomfortable bed. She looked around and blinked a few times, seeing Sam and Jesse as she started remembering a little of what had happened. She didn't blame either of them for the accident; it was an accident after all. But she had made up her mind. Sam looked over her and gripped her hand tightly causing Rachel's head to fill with confusion. "Raaaachel?" Sam checked if she was conscious and raised his eyebrows expectantly at her. "Uh huh?" Rachel responded, slowly sitting up, pulling her hand back from Sam's grip to Sam's surprise and dismay and looking around at the unfamiliar setting of the nurse's office. "Oh. Nothing, just checking if you're awake." Sam said calmly, smiling guiltily at her. Jesse came rushing over from pacing in the corner of the room. "Rachel! Sorry I wasn't focusing and I thought you were him and-" Rachel cut him off by chuckling slightly, wondering whether or not to be offended. "Don't worry about that, I'm fine anyway. But Jesse…" Rachel shook her head to herself and bit her lip. Sam and Jesse were both listening closely, waiting for her next words. "I can't go to prom with you." Rachel gave Jesse a sad smile as a confused look crossed Sam's face.
"Rachel, why? Just give-"
"No, Jesse. I'm sorry but it's just too hard to ever forgive you." Rachel said firmly, looking him in the eye. Jesse nods understandingly but still seems angry. He heads out the door, not exactly storming but not exactly not storming out either. Rachel sighed and turned her attention to Sam. She studied his face for a while as it changed from confusion to anger to just more and more confusion. Sam finally decided that the silence was getting too awkward between them. "I'm guessing he asked you to prom then." His voice dumbfounded. Rachel smiled slightly then let it disappear.
"Sam, I don't understand." Seriousness in her voice. Sam let himself show confusion again.
"Understand what…?" Rachel sighed once again.
"How come you're just…into me all of a sudden?" Sam opened his mouth and tried to speak, but nothing was coming out. "It just doesn't make sense." Rachel responded to his quietness. Sam gathered himself before contemplating in his head how he would answer. It ended up just coming to him, "Because Rachel. I see a side of you that I don't think much other people see. You're not what everyone says you are, you're just different. That kiss was real. Sent something similar to butterflies to my stomach." He chuckled a bit to himself. Rachel chuckled along with him as she realized how natural it felt to be with him. But she didn't realize that someone was watching them, and taking pictures.
What do you think? Was it good? Bad? Was it a good chapter? Please tell me!
Next: Prom?
