Say Hello To New Directions

Chapter 1

Summery:

Rachel knew this love was going to be a challenge. What made it worse is that Finn actually started to like her. She never thought that would happen. She didn't look like Quinn, she wasn't popular, she talked to much, and her personality was hard to keep up with. This was till she met Jesse St. James. The lead vocals for Vocal Adrenaline.

Rachel's POV.

I thought since we won sectionals that the school would at least treat us a little differently. Some students have, but we still get slushies in the face. Last week we had to put together a new number. It had to have the word "Hello" I the song title. I also met this amazing guy at the music store, he's also now my boyfriend! His name is Jesse St. James. I never thought my team would be so rebelling about me having a boyfriend, and for em that doesn't come along very much, I didn't care. At first I did think he was playing me. We had just won sectionals and got into regionals, but when he quit vocal adrenaline and joined New Directions. I actually started to think he cares.

It had been a week since Jesse has joined the school and New Directions. As I see things aren't going to go over very well. Puck hates him, Finn still thinks hes spying, Brittany is still set on him being Mr. Schue's son. I thought things would change when he joined, I thought people would be more accepting to me dating him. I cant believe I thought they were my friends.

I had been brought back from my thoughts when Jesse tapped me on my shoulder.

"Hey Rach" he said sitting down beside Rachel,

"Oh, hey Jesse"

"so I was thinking.. You, Me, Saturday night."

"on a date?"

"yes..." he said worried

"okay, what do you have planned?"

"not telling its a surprise."

"Ohhh.. okay" I said thinking what he could have planned

"well I got to go to history"

"alright." I said getting up.

"bye rach."

"bye"

I watched him walk away down the hall. Just as I turned to head into the girls bathroom I hear shouting.. I turned back an saw that, Jesse and Finn were fighting. Finn went to throw a punch but Jesse ducked, that's when I started to run to break it up.

"Jesse, Finn Break it up!!"

"Stay out of this Rach" Finn said

"NO I will not! GUYS stop!" I said.. They both just stood there.

"I can't believe you guys would do something like this. Finn, Your my best-friend. Jesse your my boyfriend. Please stop this. Can you guys just respect each other."

"For you I will" Jesse said, and walked away.

"Rachel, i-" Finn started

"Forget it" I said and walked away.

I don't understand. I thought this would all be better once he joined this school. Even Mercedes and Kurt approve of him. He has even given up some of his solos for Kurt and Mercedes. I walked down the hall and left Finn standing there. I really just needed to think, I didn't feel like going to Math. I just skipped. My dads don't care as long as my grades are good and they normally are. I walked out of the school. It was raining quite hard, almost down pouring. I walked to the park that was half hour away from everything. I sat down on the swing set, turned off my cellphone and just thought about things.

Jesse's POV

I didn't understand Rachel sometimes, like with her and her obsession with the team and her friends. If her friends didn't trust her then I don't think they really are her friends. I know Finn is jealous about her and I but still he doesn't have to hyper spaz. It's time for rehearsal and Rachel was no where in sight. We all gathered into the choir room. I just sat by myself because I was not to cause anymore trouble.

"okay quiet down everyone. Wait has anyone seen Rachel?" Mr. Schuester asked.

"i don't know why don't you ask her boyfriend Mr. Schue."

"Jesse?" he asked me.

"i have no clue. She left because Finn and I got into an argument and I haven't seen her since, I'm actually worried. Does she do this when shes upset.?" I asked

"she hasn't since I knew her." Mr. Schue stated.

"okay well I am going to go look for her."

"yes good idea. Its not like her to miss rehearsal like this without any warning."

"thanks I will see you all tomorrow. Bye" I said gathering my stuff and walking out of the room. It was still raining hard. I thought about the first place to go. I really didn't know the area too well. So right now I was just guessing. I walked on the street for about ten minutes. I didn't think I was going the right way but something was telling me to keep going about fifteen more minutes of walking I found a park. I looked around I saw that Rachel was sitting on the swing. Not swinging but just sitting there, with her head down, and drenched. I walked up to her and stood in front of her.

"Rach.."

"What.." she said quietly

"Are you mad at me, I didn't really want to fight with him. I was just walking to class."

"no I'm just thinking, I don't know why they would hate you. Unless you really are spying on us."

"Rachel you already know I wouldn't do that." I said tilting her head up so I could see her eyes.

"i know, it's just everyone is just getting in my head."

"Rachel if they were you real friends they would understand and help you through." I said

"i know I.. I. Uh I don't know" she said as I stood her up and pulled her in close to me.

"Rachel. I have to tell you something." I said as she looked up at me

"what is it?"

"i. uh. I love you!" I said and looked away. This is the first time I actually got really nervous and shy. But what I didn't expect was for her to full on kiss me right there in the rain. I feel like were in some sort of movie. But I loved the way her lips felt on mine. There so tender, soft and warm.

"i love you too Jesse. All that I ask is that you are honest with me and I will be honest with you no matter how hard it might be."

"i will. Now why don't we go back to your house and get you changed and then we can go to mine.. my uncle is gone for the weekend. If you want you can stay the night"

Rachel's POV

That's what I liked about Jesse he doesn't push you into anything you don't want to do. When he says stay the night, like he always does now, he means like a sleep over, it's actually kinda cute. I agreed to.

I'm kinda glad it was Jesse that went looking for me. I did a lot of thinking, I know I missed glee but still. I couldn't deal with all this right now. But when I am with Jesse he makes everything disappear like it was never there.

We went back to my house to change and I grabbed clothes and told my dads I was out for the night. They trust me so i didn't need to tell them where I was going.

I feel like tonight's going to be the break I need from everything..
