A/N: Please review! Loads of people have added me to their favourite story list, but they haven't reviewed! Sorry I haven't updated in ages.

RACHEL POV

Jesse and I made sort of an agreement. I decided to let him back in my life, as a friend. For now. But I made it quite clear that if he tried anything, he'd be out.

I wasn't sure how I really felt about all of this. He broke my heart only one week ago, but he seemed to really mean it. So maybe I wouldn't regret giving him a chance...

Before I could think about it much longer, Jesse had pulled me downstairs. "Where's Shelby?" he asked someone. Shelby? NO!

I yanked my arm out of his grasp and stormed of (dramatically, of course). I knew he would follow me, and sure enough, he did.

"Rachel! Where are you going!"

"Away. The first thing you do is find Shelby! How can I trust you then?"

"Rach, relax. I just needed to tell her I was back, she thought I was getting some fresh air. I was actually taking you to the dancefloor.

Dancefloor? "No, I don't dance. I mean, not in a nightclub style way."

Jesse grinned. "I can show you. Its really not that difficult."

"Really?"

"Huh? No, I meant the dancing can be hard, but the actually having fun part isn't."

"Haha."

But half an hour later, when Jesse told me to take a break from the dancing, I had discovered it was fun. And I didn't want to stop. I wouldn't have, if Jesse hadn't made me.

"Rach." he said. "As a friend..."

"Yes. A friend." I cut in quickly.

"Sure. As a friend, take the partying easy, man."

"I object to being called a man, St James."

Jesse laughed. "I know."

I couldn't help but laugh back. This friends thing was nice, we could just take it easy and see where we were later.

Just then, I saw Shelby walk across the room to Jesse, eyes shining. She didn't see me - or if she did, she didn't acknowledge it.

"Jesse!" she sang out. "Guess what I just did!"

"Um." he said, not sure what to say. "Bought a new car?"

"Well, I did buy a new car, but thats not it!"

Jesse looked bored. "I don't fricking know."

Shelby looked stern. "Jesse, mind that attitude. At least you didn't swear properley."

Jesse rolled his eyes at me, and I couldn't help but giggle the tiniest bit. Of course teenagers swore. What world did Shelby live in?

A pretty happy one, by the looks of it.

"Come, Jesse. I'll show you!"

"Okay..."

Jesse looked at me sadly and followed Shelby out into he parking lot, where I saw a lady standing, her back turned to me. She passed something over to Shelby, who looked at it lovingly and showed it to Jesse. His face turned shocked, then angry.

"How could you?" I heard him hiss, and then he went back inside to me, then sat down again, putting his best showface on.

He didn't think I had seen that. Whatever.

"What is it?" I asked him. His showface slipped for half a second, and then he replied, "Nothing."

"Jesse, if you don't tell me, how can we be friends? With all these secrets..."

Jesse sighed. "Fine. But I think you should ask her instead. Come on."

I went through the double doors into the cold night.

But then the other lady that had been with Shelby stepped away, revealing what was in Shelby's arms.

I gasped.

A/N: Ooh, no prizes for guessing what the 'thing' is!
