Thanks for all the reviews! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Review please!

"I can't believe I agreed to this!" Rachel said as she started walking down the stairs of her house to the living room.

Her dads were ready flashing pictures of her in every single angle possible.

Jesse smirked her and held his hand out. "You just can't resist my devilishly handsome face" he replied tucking her arm under his.

"You look wonderful" he said twirling her around.

She was wearing a pale pink chiffon evening gown. "Lets get this over with!" she sighed waving her overzealous parents goodbye.

"Have fun at prom honey!"her daddy Hiram said.

"and if he tries anything, I put some pepper spray in your clutch!"her dad Leroy added, giving Jesse a hard pat on the back.

Jesse had ordered them a black limo to arrive to school in, he called it practice for future when limos would be an everyday thing to them.

"I never went to my prom" Jesse mused.

"What Carmel's own prince didn't attend ?" she snorted raising an eyebrow.

"I was practicing for Nationals," he said. An awkward silence soon filled the back Nationals brought back all other memories, like baby chickens on Rachels head.

"Are you excited to go back to UCLA?" Rachel asked

"Yes and no" he said giving her a half smile, " But for now let's just forget everything! It's just you and me going to your prom acting like complete snobs having the time of our lives!"

Rachel giggled in response. The limo slowed down to a halt and they both peered out the window. Principal Figgins had gotten someone to finally clean the increasing garbage in the parking lot. The Prom Committee really outdid themselves this year, Rachel thought. Lights, in various colors were all focused on the gym, a red carpet was put as the entrance to the party. Inside, Rachel was pleasantly surprised. Balloons covered the entire ceiling so that the top was not visible. The atmosphere was fun and entertaining , everybody was out dancing, nobody even noticed Rachel and Jesse arrive. From a distance, Rachel could see a distracted Finn dancing with a bored Quinn. She could see Lauren Zizes pushing away a girl that winked at Puck. She saw Tina and Mike laughing and dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Santana ad Brittany were discussing something quietly by the punch table, as Santana's date Dave Karofsky, nervously stood by. Rachel could also see Kurt, Sam, Blaine, and Mercedes talking by the food table.

"Looks nice"Jesse whispered in Rachel's ear.

"Yea" she replied, leaning back on him a little. Tina ad Mike noticed them there and they waved at her.

"Come on let's dance!" Jesse said grabbing Rachel into the dancefloor. " I love this song he said" pointing to Blaine who was currently singing a song on stage.

"Okay!" she said agreeing, grabbing his hand and forcing him deeper in the crowd.

Rachel laughed, after Blaine's fun, catchy song passed a slower song came on.

"We don't have to dance this song" Jesse said to her, when he noticed her stiffen.

"No!" she said plastering a smile on and wrapping her hands around his neck "I want to forget everything else!"

He grabbed her waist as the song continued. She sighed tiredly.

"What's up?" he asked.

"The sky" she said avoiding the question. "I'm going to miss you." she said finally after a moment of dancing.

"I'll miss you too" he said leaning closer to her. Rachel's heart skipped a beat.

She pressed her head against his chest, " I meant it", she whispered.

"What?" he asked looking down at her.

"I love you" she said looking into his eyes. She reached up and quickly laced a quick peck on his lips. He stood there in shock. Recovering quickly, he kissed her back, Rachel returned this kiss hungrily.

"Keep it PG" Rachel heard a voice say. Finn. She was going to tell him a quick retort, but Jesse won her to the punch.

"Dude, back off" Jesse said , still holding on to Rachel's hand.

"I can't if I see you all over her!" Finn said defending himself.

Jesse ignored him dragging Rachel int the crowd, "I don't want your night to be ruined"

"It wont!" Rachel said , dancing more energetically to the new catchy song.

"But I do need to go to the bathroom!" She said leading him out of the crowd and into one of the seats of an empty table

Rachel got to the bathroom, opening her clutch, she reapplied some of her makeup. The door opened again and soon someone came up to the mirror next to her and started reapplying makeup. Rachel didn't want to be rude, so she looked at the person from the corner of her eye. Quinn Fabray. Rachel noticed Quinn apply her makeup with trembling hands, it looked like the girl was on the edge of a nervous breakdown.

"Are you okay?" Rahel said, grabbing her shoulder.

Quinn stopped applying the make up and looked directly at her.

"N-No" she said bluntly, closing her eyes and looking at herself in the mirror.

Rachel nodded once and was about to leave, but Quinn said something again.

"Finn doesn't love me." She said still staring straight ahead into the mirror."He never really has, I never loved him either"

Rachel shuffled her feet awkwardly, "Don't say that Quinn, your a um incredibly strong person" she said finally looking for something to describe the blonde in front of her,

"You are lucky Rachel" she said finally looking at her, " As much as i despise Jesse St. James he loves you"

"I thought," Quinn said with an empty smile, " winning this, would get me everything I wanted, I could be that model child again, queen of the school"

Rachel nodded her head.

"Is it bad to miss Beth?" Quinn said in a hoarse voice, after Rachel said nothing.

"I mean I know I gave her up, but sometimes I wonder how my life would be, If I had just listened to Puck" she said leaning against a bathroom wall, tears falling freely.

"Maybe" Rachel said gently, "Maybe, you should talk to him about it" Rachel said. Rachel didn't know what caused Quinn to open up to her, but she pushed that feeling aside, Quinn was a fellow glee member.

'Listen to me Berry," Quinn said wiping a tear off her face, " Don't let that St. James guy, get away" Rachel tried to act unfazed,

"Don't" Quinn hesitated and slid to floor against the bathroom wall " Don't let pride get to you, don't let him slip away because of your dignity, don't end up like me"

Rachel sat next to her, "I promise you, I won't let him get away" she said, Quinn smiled through her puffy red eyes.

"If you promise me, to take your own advice" Rachel said standing up and reaching out for Quinn's hand. Quinn eyed it before grabbing it and hoisting herslef up.

"I promise" she said quietly, looking back at her reflection in the mirror.

A group of girls walked in, talking and laughing they all stopped suddenly, when they noticed Quinn Fabray, the queen bee of the school there.

Quinn glanced at them before shifting her gaze at Rachel "Don't you dare tell a soul, about what we have discussed Rachel Berry" she said changing her mask from broken girl to head cheerleader in a second. Rachel had to give it to her, the girl was an incredible actress. Quinn smirked, and looked towards the girls and confidently walked out of the bathroom. Rachel pretended to put some makeup on before heading back into the party. Jesse was still at the table she had laced him, only this time he was texting.

"I'm back!" she said plopping down to a seat next to him.

"What took you so long?" he asked, putting away his phone.

"I made amends with someone" she said laughing lightly.

"In the bathroom?"he asked staring at her incredulously.

"Yes, you fool!" she said, still in a good mood, "dance with me!" she grabbed his hand and dragged him back inside the crowd.

After dancing nonstop for a couple of hours, they sat down at a table visibly exhausted.

"Let's leave' Rachel said after she came back with a drink.

"They haven't even crowned the prom king and queen yet"he said motioning towards the front.

"I don't care who wins"'Rachel said, "i want to go to dinner now"

"Is anything even open now?" Jesse said lookingat the time on his watch.

"Yes IHOP is " Rachel informed him, forcing him to stand up, "Let's go!"

"You're so energetic" he chuckled taking her hand in his.

"You love it!" she said leaning into him.

"That I do, Miss Rachel Berry" he replied opening the car door for her "That I do"
