Sorry for the late update, I had some trouble this days and some travelling so I was quite busy, and I also broke my ankle so hopefully I'll update more these days because I'm in the bed for a little while. Anyway thanks a lot guys for the reviews so far I really appreciate them! Please let me know about any mistakes and anything in general you want to say. By the way I was thinking if anyone wants to be my beta reader? Please let me know! This is not the best chapter but it's gap filler! I promise it gets better in the next chapters!

The door opens, and Shelby comes in, it was the first time that Rachel was seeing her after they broke up with Jesse.

"Rachel, sorry I came at this time, but I was so worried that as soon as I heard what happened I came here. Are you okay?" Shelby was making extreme efforts not to cry.

"I've been better" Rachel says with a smile on the side of her lips "I guess Jesse told you, right?"

"Yes, he did. But I got to tell you, he cares a lot about you. Ever since you two started hanging out again, he can't stop talking about you" Shelby now was very relaxed after seeing Rachel.

Shelby and Rachel discussed everything, Shelby apologized at least 10 times for being so selfish last year to destroy her daughters relationship, but the discussions that Rachel was more interested in was the ones who had to do with Jesse, after listening to Shelby talking about him and how he's acting the last days, it made Rachel realize that maybe he still had that love spark about her. "So what are you doing the next 3 days? I could use some mother-daughter bonding" and Shelby smiling with the best smile she had "I think Vocal Adrenaline is taking a good 3-day break!"

Shelby now was leaving, and Rachel's dads couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about for so many hours in her room. Rachel told them everything, and then she talked to them about Jesse. Rachel knew their reactions before even telling them. Rachel's dads loved Jesse, they could see the other half of their daughter in him, he was perfect for her, always a gentleman and he was really good with Rachel's dads, when the egging happened, they were more disappointed than angry, because Rachel was losing what she claimed to be, "her soulmate".

The next three days passed quite quickly, Rachel was having a really good time, she was never alone, when Jesse, or Shelby weren't there it was her friends. They never left her alone. She was going back to school tomorrow, only for one day though because it was Friday but she was more than excited.

She woke up in the morning, happier than ever and she called Jesse, he promised to take her to school and take her to her first class, so that if anyone tried to mess with her, he would have to deal with Jesse. She still felt a bit dizzy when she woke up in the morning but she didn't care.

Jesse was there to pick her up, her dads were standing on the door waving to Jesse, giving him some -Take a good care of her, or we have a good place in the backyard for you when we kill you- looks. They got to school, and while Jesse was walking with Rachel to her class, Finn showed up and he was looking frustrated "I see you didn't need a lot of time to replace me, Rachel" Jesse was furious "Back off Finn, we are just friends, I don't usually take advantage of girls, unlike others" Jesse felt the urge to punch him, but he didn't want to do anything that would make Rachel feel uncomfortable. Jesse left Rachel in her class and drove back to Carmel for his own classes.

The day passed without anything significant or shocking happening, until the Glee rehearsal. Rachel was always the first to get in the class, and the same happened today, she was the first and she was sitting on the piano waiting for the others to come, hitting random notes. The first who came in after Rachel was Santana, and she sat next to her on the piano bench.

"Hey, how are you?" Santana was a bit hesitant when talking to Rachel because whenever she talked to her, Rachel had a terrified look on her face

"I'm ok, still a bit dizzy in the morning but I'm recovering pretty well" This time Rachel was more relaxed when she was talking to her, Santana was a better person than it looked like, but she still had her doubts.

"How's it going with Jesse? Are you having sex yet?" Santana was teasing her but Rachel blushed and she didn't know what to say but "We are just friends, at the moment" and Rachel was still blushing.

"It won't be for too long. He loves you, I can tell! I'm expert in this area!" And while Santana was talking all the others came in to the class and Santana lowered he volume, "I need some help with something, and surprisingly you are the only one I trust. We'll talk later" and she went to sit in her place and Rachel too.

Mr. Schue got in the class and he was happy to see that all his students were there safe and sound.

"Ok guys it's been a week since your win at Sectionals, and you know National's are close. We have to start practicing and we need a set list to do that. So your assignment for this week is to find songs that express your feelings about our last win at Sectionals and make our competition at Nationals feel threatened by us" Mr. Schue sounded very excited and was uber happy that things were going they way they should "I know I usually want you to not care about the other groups, but this time, we really have to work hard because I have a feeling that we are very close to winning. We didn't beat vocal adrenaline yet, but still our tie at the sectionals was like a win for us and a lose for them. VA is weaker this year"

Rachel was brainstorming, and for a second she thought it would be cool to find some songs with Jesse, but then she thought that while Jesse was still in VA it wouldn't happen. She knew she could trust him, but a part of herself was saying no.

Rachel was now back home, her dad picked her from school, and she was texting all the way with Jesse, in a quite "friendly go flirtatious" way, both trying to keep a level in their conversation. Hiram, who was driving Rachel home started to get a bit curious, and asked Rachel whom she was talking to, because she was smiling at a mobile phone, and that was worrying, maybe the hit on her head was worse than they thought. Rachel assured him that it was just Jesse, but to Hiram it wasn't "just Jesse", he was the one who hurt their daughter and now he was back in her life and they didn't know his real intentions.

As soon as Hiram parked the car Rachel jumped out, because they had a Skype appointment with Jesse. So Hiram was now discussing "the problem" with Leroy. They were both supportive to their daughter, for all her decisions and everything she ever wanted to do, they would advice her, they would stand by her side. They were there when Rachel was heartbroken by Jesse though and they wanted to protect Rachel because they didn't know Jesse's real intentions.

Rachel was falling for Jesse again, she never stopped loving him, but she had to be sure to make the next step. The sure thing was that Jesse was in the right track.

Saturday was already there and the two of them were going to see West Side Story. Rachel was acting like a maniac, she was obsessed with musicals and she was more obsessed going with someone that could appreciate them as much as she did. The musical started, and both were excited, it might not have been the original cast from Broadway but still it was a noteworthy production.

After WSS they decided to go get some ice cream from the best "gelateria" in Ohio, it was one of the few who had vegan ice cream and once they got their ice creams they got back in the car and were going round Lima talking about random things, and finally they found a little cliff where you could see all the houses from up there, and there was a clear view of the starry sky. They sat on a bench, looking at the stars for about an hour, and then Jesse noticed the sudden silence, and he turned to find Rachel sleeping on his shoulder, she was so cute he didn't to wake her up, so with soft moves, he took off his jacket, covered Rachel and carried her in his arms back in the car and he stood there for several minutes just staring at her, finally he kissed her forehead, and whispered in the lower volume he could "If only you knew how much I love you" and got back in the driver's seat to take her back home. He woke her up with a heavy heart to tell her that they were at her house, he kissed her again on her cheek and Rachel turned at him and gave him a look that said many things and she left. Rachel was happier than ever, she got back in the house silently, and ran up to her bedroom to resume her sleep, but she was so excited she could barely sleep anymore.

When Jesse moved her from the bench to the car, Rachel was awake but she felt so good in his arms that she didn't want to wake up, so when Jesse whispered that in her ear she heard it. All her doubts disappeared, he loved her, but he was making baby steps with her, but Rachel needed him now. She had to make a giants step.
