I'm very sorry for not updating in forever! Life just caught up with me. I won't make any promises this time because I still don't have a schedule of my writing. Please forgive. Enjoy the chapter!

By the way, this: 'thoughts look like this'
"Mom! Jeffsboo is here!"
Jeff rolled his eyes, "Nice to see you Sammies", he ruffled her hair and walked to where his mom was.
She smiles at her children, "How was school?"
Jeff kisses her on the cheek, "Same as any other. Well except my friends wanting to meet Samantha and all."
Sam springs up from her chair, "Really? I get to meet the overly-ambitious Rachel Berry?"
"Yes. She wants to take you under her wing so to speak."
Samantha eyes went a little wide, "Really?" she started jumping up and down, "I get to learn from the best!"
Jeff smiled to himself and went up to his room to change before dinner. His phone started ringing, so he picked it up.
"Hello, Jeffster here."
"Jeff! Tomorrow is the big day! Practice and remember, no milk!", came on Rachel's frantic voice.
"Berry love, calm down. We're gonna be awesome. Our practices have gone fine."
She sighed into her phone, "I just hope I can do the song well. I'm not used to singing in that tone."
Jeff smiled to himself, "Rachel, you are going to do awesome. Don't stress. See ya tomorrow; gonna practice."
"Okay! I will practice too! Bye Jeffy!" And she hangs up.
He puts his phone on the nightstand and fell onto his bed, closing his eyes.
"JEFFSBOO!" So much for relaxing. He shot up and looked towards his door to see his sister's head peeking into the door.
"Yes?" he asked.
She walked in and stood at the end of his bed, "Can I help with your practice?"
He smiled knowingly, "Can you do Kate Pierson well?"
"Candy, Candy, Candy! I can't let you go!", she sang as she jumped around the room.
"All my life you're haunting me. I loved you so." He sang along with her as they practiced till it was dinner time.

Kurt was in his room listening and singing along to Lady Gaga's Alejandro, then his phone started ringing. He picked it up after seeing the caller ID.
"Hi babe!" he chirped into the phone, gleefully.
"Kurt. Um... do you think we could go to the Lima Bean tomorrow? We need to talk."
Kurt's heart started to beat harder as fear rose in him, "Is everything okay? Do you want me to come over?"
Blaine could feel his heart breaking at his own words, "Nothing's wrong. I. It's jus-. Just promise me you'll come."
"Okay I will."
"Bye Kurt."
"Bye."
The line died and left Kurt confused. Blaine on the other hand felt like he could just die at the moment.
"What have I done?" the dark haired boy asked himself.
~o0o~
Morning. Today is the day that Rachel is certain will surprise everyone with her song choice. Jeff had introduced her to the song and begged if they could do it and she couldn't say no after looking into those eyes of his. It's almost as if he hypnotized her to make her agree to what ever he says.
"Rach!" she heard his voice call her and she turned around to see him walking up to her. 'He's so cute.' she frowned. 'I'm not suppose to think of him like this. What is wrong with me?'
He was standing in front of her as she finished the thought, "Hi Jeff."
He smiled -'The most amazing smile in the world. Dammit! STOP IT, BERRY!'- "Ready for today. We're going to blow them away. Remember to not go so high. We don't want to make it sound like an opera."
She smiled hesitantly and took a deep breath, "I'm ready for them. I'll show them I can sing lower. Thanks for this by the way."
"Psshh. Don't thank me. You already have the talent." He gave her a even more dazzling smile, if it's even possible.
She wanted to compliment back but Kurt showed up at the moment. Jeff's eyes gave off an almost loving look towards her fellow Glee Club member and best gay friend. She felt a bit jealous but decided to set aside any feelings stirring up inside her, they won't help her.
Kurt smiled at the both of them, "Hey guys. We should head to the auditorium before anyone else in the club so you two can set up."
"Good idea. Le go!" Jeff started running off in the direction of the auditorium screaming about 'kicking some serious ass today'.
Rachel smiled at his silliness when she felt someone nudge her. She looked to see Kurt smiling at her. "What?"
"Does Miss Berry have a crush on someone?"
"No I do not! I love Finn!"
Kurt just hummed.
Rachel grunted and stomped off before turning around, "I can't like Jeff, Kurt. He doesn't like girls like me." She turned back around and walked faster to their destination.
It hurt Kurt to see his friend seem so discouraged because she doesn't love herself. She's such a beautiful girl that Finn takes for granted. And Finn is such a sweetheart that Rachel takes for granted.
'Wow. Those two are so complicated. Kiss and make up already! Why is it so difficult?' Kurt sighed and walked thinking about Rachel's words, "He doesn't like girls like me."
~o0o~
"Welcome class! Today we are hear for the first part of the meeting to hear two of us that are submitting their entry to the partner contest." Mr. Schue paused. "Let's give the floor to Jeff and Rachel. Whenever you are ready guys." He called out.
Rachel was trying to breathe and Jeff came up behind her, resting a hand on her shoulder, "Knock 'em dead."
Jeff walked out as the song started and he spoke:
"It's a rainy afternoon
In 1990
The big city geez it's been 20 years-
Candy-you were so fine"
Then he started to sing in low key:
"Beautiful beautiful
Girl from the north
You burned my heart
With a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free"
"Candy, Candy , Candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so"
He gave the signal for me to move towards him as I started to walk out from behind the curtains. He kept singing:
"Candy, Candy , Candy I can't let you go
Life is crazy
Candy baby"
I started to talk:
"Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
I'm glad you got out
But I miss you"
I sang the what came next:
"I've had a hole in my heart
For so long
I've learned to fake it and
Just smile along
Down on the street
Those men are all the same
I need a love
Not games
Not games"
We both sang together, as I tried to not go to high to not overpower him:
"Candy, Candy, Candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so
Candy, Candy , Candy I can't let you go
Life is crazy
I Know baby
Candy baby"
We danced around each other looking at one another:
"UOU UOU UOU
Candy, Candy, Candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so"
"CANDY CANDY CANDY
life is crazy
candy baby"
"Candy baby,(2x)
Candy, Candy
Candy, Candy, Candy I can't let you go"
The music started to fade and all Rachel and Jeff heard was silence then clapping, loud clapping. They both looked up to see all their friends clapping and cheering even Blaine and Finn were smiling. That surprised Jeff, a lot.
Mr. Schuester was smiling and went on the stage as he shook their hands, "You guys were incredible! Rachel you did such a wonderful job." Rachel beamed at the compliment. The teacher turned toward the class, "I think this contest just got tougher. You guys better step up your game."
Rachel squealed and jumped on Jeff, who caught her easily. "We did it!" she laughed as she was set on her feet gently.
Jeff smiled at her, "Yes. Yes we did. You were perfect. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to have been my partner."
Rachel grinned, "Even Kurt?, she whispered just so he could hear her.
Jeff froze and his jaw dropped as Rachel just smirked and walked off towards her boyfriend.
