Thanks so much for the reviews guys! I'm sorry, but this is the second to last chapter. I'm just not really feeling the story anymore, and even though I really appreciate the reviews I have been getting, I haven't had enough to motivate me to keep writing, sorry. Thanks for reading the story, though, it means a lot :D

Chapter 10

"J-J-Jesse?" she stuttered out.

"Hi Rachel." He said fluidly. Jesse never stuttered, or even got nervous. It was one of the things she loved about him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him, not so nervous once she had gotten over the initial shock of seeing him.

"I came to see you. I've missed you." She snorted. Looking behind her, she saw that her dads had gone somewhere, no doubt to give them some privacy.

"I find that hard to believe. You have all of those sluts from school to keep you occupied, why would you miss me?"

"Because I love you, and I'm sorry. Look, I know I cheated on you, and that wasn't right, but I swear it was just a one-time thing. It meant nothing, she meant nothing. I promise." He said, and she would have believed him if it weren't for his completely expressionless face.

"Just stop it, Jesse. Please. I've heard enough of your crap. You don't love me; you wouldn't have done that to me if you loved me. And apologising won't take back what you did. You said you were willing to wait, Jesse. You said you loved me, and if I wasn't ready you would respect that and wait until I was ready. But you didn't mean that, obviously, because you just got what you couldn't get from me from someone else. And that hurts, Jesse. That frikking hurts!" she said, her voice getting louder and louder until she was yelling. Jesse flinched, finally showing some emotion, but it wasn't what Rachel wanted to see. He looked angry.

"Oh for God's sake, Rachel, the only way I could have made myself wait was to get it somewhere else. If I had been faithful to you, we would have broken up a long time ago. I'm a guy, Rachel. I'm sorry if you can't accept that, but it's the truth."

"Jesse, being a guy does not entitle you to cheat on your girlfriend if she won't have sex with you. And if you think it does, I feel sorry for you. You're obviously thicker then you look. I don't need to deal with this crap. I thought I was still in love with you, but I'm not. I'm in love with the guy I thought you were, not the guy you really are. I think I just needed to see you this one more time so that I can get closure, but now that that's over with, I don't think I ever want to see you again. Ever." She said, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted. Like she was finally free again.

"You're making a mistake, Rachel. A huge mistake." Jesse warned her, but she shook her head.

"No, Jesse, my mistake was dating you. My mistake was trusting you. My mistake was ever getting involved with you in any way at all. Now I want you to turn around, get into your car, drive off and never come back into my life again. Got it?" she said, smiling.

"Stop it, Rachel, you're being unreasonable."

"No, I'm not. Go away, Jesse St James. I'm over you. Wow, it feels good to say that."

"Fine. But I promise you, this won't be the last time you see me. One day you'll come crawling back." He said snottily. She scoffed.

"I'd die first, Jesse. Now please leave." She said one last time. Sighing, he turned and walked away, leaving Rachel stood in the doorway wondering what she ever saw in him.

Her dads came up behind her, Leroy laying a comforting hand on her shoulder. She turned and buried her head in his shoulder, finally letting the tears escape. But she wasn't crying because she lost him. She was crying because she had given him so much of herself, and he had thrown it all away, as if it was nothing, as if it meant nothing to him. Which it probably did.

"Shall we go to the hospital now?" asked Hiram. She pulled away from Leroy and nodded, wiping her eyes gently. Pulling her phone out of her pocket, she texted Finn to let him know she was on her way, and left the house. She rode in Carol's car with Leroy while Hiram drove theirs. She didn't speak to her dads for the whole of the journey, and even when they got to the hospital she just climbed out of the car and walked up to the entrance in silence. She had only been here a few hours ago, but it felt like days. When she got inside she walked straight past the reception desk and into the waiting room. Carol was in there, but Finn was nowhere to be seen. When she saw Rachel, she stood up and walked briskly towards her, hugging her tightly.

"Hey Carol." Said Rachel softly.

"I was so worried! You said an hour, and then you've been gone all day, and I thought that I had jinxed things, that you'd had an accident, then you wouldn't answer your phone when Finn called, and you had my car so I couldn't follow you-" Rachel hugged her again, cutting her off mid-rant.

"I'm sorry Carol. I wasn't planning to be gone so long. I just…I fell asleep. I promised myself it would only be an hour or two, but I didn't wake up until three hours later, when my dad's got home. Then we ate dinner, and we were about to leave but Jesse-something happened, so we didn't get here until now. I really am sorry for worrying you. I should have called earlier than I did." Rachel explained, looking down at the ground guiltily.

"Don't be sorry. I was just worried over nothing. That's what you get for having kids. I'm glad you got some sleep, and some food. You need it. Finn is with Quinn again, but he's worried about you. You should go in there and tell him you're okay." Carol said. Rachel nodded, thankful that Carol wasn't angry with her. She headed down the corridor towards Quinn's room and, bracing herself, went to walk in, but was stopped by a nurse.

"Excuse me, miss? Visitor hours aren't for an hour yet. Do you have special clearance to be here?" the woman asked in a way that suggested she knew that Rachel didn't have special clearance.

"No, but please, you have to let me go in there. I need to speak to the guy-I mean, girl in there. Please?" she pleaded, though she had a bad feeling that the nurse would say no.

"I'm afraid I can't allow that, miss. Come back in an hour or so and you can go inside." She said sternly, pushing Rachel gently away from the door.

"Please! I have to talk to him! He's in there with his ex-girlfriend, who was in a crash, and she has amnesia, so she thinks they're still together. He asked me out, but I said no 'cause I was still in love with this other guy. But I saw this other guy today and I realised he's an absolute twat and I am totally over him, and I need to talk to Finn now!" Rachel said in a rush, tears streaming down her face. She was so stressed and she looked so desparate that the strict nurse took pity on her. Looking around to make sure there was no-one watching, she gently nodded her head.

"You can go in, for a few minutes. But don't tell anyone I let you in, okay?" she said. Rachel nodded, watching her walk away down the corridor. Then she took another deep breath and opened the door. To be greeted with the sight of Finn bent of Quinn, kissing her lips softly, lovingly. When he heard the door close he turned around, to see Rachel's shocked face. His eyes widened in relief and something else.

"Rachel-"

"Don't! Don't say anything. You don't have to explain yourself to me, Finn. I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay. Your mom said you were worried about me. Hi Quinn." She added that last part when she noticed Quinn staring at them both, frowning in confusion.

"Hi Rachel. What's going on? Have you been cheating on me, Finn?" she asked, looking angry.

"No, I-"

"No, he hasn't. Look, it's complicated Quinn, but nothing is going on. Finn never cheated on you. I've got to go now, but I'll see you both later."

And with that, Rachel left the room, holding back the tears threatening to overflow.
