JESSIE'S BACK

Rachel and Finn walk into school hand in hand, both not caring what anyone thinks because they have each other and they couldn't feel happier. Until a blueberry slushie smashes across Rachel's face, sinking into her white blouse and her long brown hair.

"Eat that, you annoying rat" yelled a boy already walking away with his back to Rachel and Finn.

"Are you ok Rachel" Finn was holding her up while she rubbed it all off her face and hair.

"Yes, I'm fine Finn" she looked up into her boyfriends eyes then smiled "but I just need a second" she pulled herself out of his arms and walked down the hall into the girls' bathroom.

"Rachel" someone asked from behind her, she spun around and breathed a sigh of relief

"Quinn, you scared me" Rachel explained

"Sorry, I was hiding, I didn't want to be the first to get a slushie facial" she smiled at Rachel

"Well you won't be" Rachel smiled back, while running paper towel across her blouse "first day back and I'm the first to get it"

"At least we have glee next" Quinn smiled "I have to go see puck, I'll catch you at glee" Quinn ran her hands across Rachel's cheek, getting the slushie still left there.

Rachel continued cleaning the blueberry mush of herself, then looked in the mirror, took a few deep breaths the left the bathroom. Finn was waiting outside across the hall; as soon as he saw her he crossed it and pulled her into one of his big bear hugs.

"How are you feeling" he whispered into Rachel's ear

"Better then I was" she replied with sadness in her voice.

"Come on lets go to glee practice" Finn took her hand and lead the way to the classroom.

Once they were inside the classroom, Finn took a seat next to puck and Rachel sat next to Quinn, everyone followed in after them. Kurt smiling at Finn but then turning his back to Rachel, he never really got over the fact that Finn picked Rachel instead of him. Once everyone was in their seats Mr. Shoe entered.

"ok kids" he said sitting down on the end of the piano "it's a new year and a new start so this week's home work is love songs, everyone must perform some sort of love song by the end of the week" there were a few people who hung their heads in disappointment but Rachel was clapping her hands with a huge smile on her face. "And one more thing the winner with the best love song gets to choose the song we perform at next week's assembly."

Rachel's hand went straight up.

"Yes Rachel" Mr. Shoe asked

"Can we do a duet" she asked her eyes lighting up

"I was thinking about it, but I have decided that it only solo" Mr. Shoe looked around at all the faces "sorry, Rachel"

The rest of the glee practice was moving fast until an unexpected and unwanted visitor dropped in. The whole room fell silent with shock as the visitor strutted across the room. Rachel was the first to speak.

"Jessie" the sound of her voice showed most of her emotion, hatred.

"I know most of you don't want to talk to me" he looked around "but I want to say I'm sorry" he looked around the room once more but his eyes stopped on Rachel "to you I am more sorry then you can ever imagine, what I did was unforgettable but will you forgive me"

Rachel looked at Finn then back to Jessie.

"This is a private practice, new direction members only" Rachel looked at Mr. Shoe making sure she hadn't cross a line "you must leave"

Rachel sat back in her, Quinn smiling at her, Finn wrapping his arm around her proving a point to Jessie, Mercedes slapping a high five and Kurt just slightly showing his teeth.

"I know your mad but I left vocal adrenalin and I have an official place here now" he looked worried but continued "and I remember you guys saying that anyone who tried out made it into the glee club, I'm here I'm going to try out so I hope I'll be allowed back in"

"Guys we did say that" Mr. Shoe was walking to stand next to Jessie "let's give Jessie a shot"

Jessie walked to the centre of the room and begun his audition, after he had finished singing he waited for somebody to speak.

"Mr. Shoe I have a song I'd like to add" Rachel said taking Jessie's place in the spotlight, she begun the song about betrayal and as soon as her song was over the bell rang, she flicked her hair in Jessie's face and as normal had a dramatic exit. Every clapped as they left the room, a few patted Rachel on the back. Finn wrapped his arms around Rachel and lifted her off the ground in a huge hug. Finn looked at Jessie then pulled Rachel into his chest to prove a point once again then left.

They kept walking through the halls and down into the car park.

"That was amazing" Finn smiled.

"It really was, your voice has got better since last time I saw you" Jessie's voice called from his shiny blue car.

"Go away Jessie, no one wants you here" Rachel tucked herself closer to Finn's side.

"Don't be like that Rachel, we had something special" Jessie smiled at the girl who was once his

"No, it was all a lie, just so you could win" she growled

"And so you could meet Shelby" Jessie explained "she made me do it all"

"Really, my mum made you chuck eggs at me" she raised her eyebrows

"I'm sorry, but I still want you Rachel and I'm willing to fight for you" Jessie walked closer to her, before Finn pushed past her and placed his hands on Jessie shoulders, shoving him back.

"I don't think so Jessie" Finn said "I think you should go back to vocal adrenaline"

"I'm not leaving without her at my side" Jessie nodded to Rachel

"And she's not leaving without me" Finn turned to check his was right, Rachel smiled at her boyfriend

"There's only one answer then" Jessie stated

"And that is"

"We fight" Jessie smiled

"We fight" Finn agreed with another straight smile

"Hello, does anyone care what I have to say" Rachel butted in

"Not now honey, boys talking" Jessie looked at her

"Don't speak to her like that" Finn shoved Jessie again

"And I'm not your honey" Rachel added

"We'll see" Jessie smiled "tonight 6 am this car park, bring your music" he turned without a word and jumped into his car and drove off into the distance.

Finn turned to Rachel and took himself down to her level so he could look into her eyes.

"It will be ok, you trust me right?" he asked

"Of course I do" Rachel replied

"And I can sing right?"

"Yes"

"Then" he stopped talking so he could kiss Rachel "there's nothing to worry about"
