Uh-oh. Jesse punched Will. Let's find out what will happened afterwards. This will be a build-up chapter. Another teaser for you guys lol. Enjoy!

Tender Moments

"So, we're finally back to this scene," Will thought as he was laying in Rachel's arm after Jesse had punched him in the jaw. It hurt like the dickens, whatever that word means. Will opened his eyes and overheard the arguments Rachel and Jesse were having.

"How could you do this to me?" Jesse declared to Rachel, "After everything we've been through. You would do this to your fiancé?"

Rachel, with fierce tears in her eyes, replied bitterly, "Jesse, for the last time. I was not cheating on you! I was practicing with Will on a duet."

"Oh, yeah right. Like practicing a duet means smashing your lips together. That's a bullshit excuse, Rachel."

"It's not what it looks like. Jesse, I…" Rachel stammered out.

"You know what, Rachel. Fine, stay with your precious Schuester. Have a good life. See if he can bring you your happiness," Jesse said as he stormed away. Rachel burst into full-blown tears. Will could feel her teardrops fall his face. All her anguish, all her sorrows were all formed into those tiny droplets of tears. For some reason, with each tear that fell on Will's cheeks, Will experienced all of her pain. He never felt this kind of sadness from her before. Will couldn't help but cry with her.

It felt like an eternity on that hallway floor with Rachel. Most of the students had already dispersed when they saw that Jesse wasn't going to do anything else. Will knew it had to end sometimes, the time of sorrows. He lifted himself out of Rachel's arms and dusted his pants. He looked at Rachel and her head looked up in order to make eye contact with Will. Will couldn't recognize her at all; her eyes were puffy and swollen from the tears. Will reached out his hand and helped her to get up. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a hug to let her know that he was there. Her head rested on his shoulders and she returned that hug.

"Come on," Will told her. Will walked into the choir room to grab his and her bags. Together they walked outside to the chilly Lima weather. Will led her to his car and she sat in the passenger seat. Will quickly ran into the driver's seat and started the engine.

"Your car will still be here tomorrow. You can stay at my place tonight. I mean, if you want to, Rachel," Will offered. Rachel shifted her eyes to look at Will's. With a wry smile, she gave him an affirming nod.

Jesse St. James stormed out the high school after confronting Will and Rachel. It just made him so angry. After Will had given Jesse his word that he will not do anything with Rachel. Jesse knew that Will was too much of a liar and a playboy to actually keep his words. Fine, Rachel wants to play that game. Jesse can play the same game as well. It was only a matter of time before Rachel found out, but to hell with her. Jesse turned his car and parked into the driveway of Giselle's house. Giselle used to be on Vocal Adrenaline when Jesse was still in it. And she used to be his lover in high school and recently as well. Rachel didn't put out for him. So he certainly wasn't gonna wait on her and her precious virginity. That's the only reason why he stopped pressuring her. He had a squeeze on the side. Jesse didn't let Rachel know, but he was seeing Giselle while they were working on Broadway together. Sure, he had told her not to cheat on anyone, but he felt no remorse for his actions and for being a hypocrite. The only reason why Jesse stuck with Rachel was because she was famous and richer than he was. Jesse got out of his Range Rover. The door to Giselle's house opened and Giselle ran into Jesse's arms to give him a long and passionate kiss. Jesse was not aware of what was going on as a certain car drove by them.

The ride home had brief moments of awkwardness and tension. Unlike the past, they both acknowledged that it was there, their feelings for each other. Yet they chose not to pursue it because of what had just happened at the school. Will was too much of a gentleman to try to take advantage of Rachel in her most vulnerable state, but as soon as he asked Rachel to stay at his house for the night, he knew it was wrong. He only had one bed in his home. But being the gentlemen that he is, Will decided in his mind to offer his bed to Rachel while he slept on the couch.

Likewise, Rachel didn't know if agreeing to sleep at Will's house for the night was a good idea. She didn't want any more accusations from Jesse. It was not a good idea to cause any more rifts between them.

"Oh, God! I should've stayed with Quinn," Rachel thought to herself, but it was too late. She didn't want to tell Will now as he was driving. "Why not?" she asked herself. Did she really want to spend the night with Will?

As Will was driving home, Rachel was looking outside the window. Rachel could hear the soft sound of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" coming out of Will's radio. The both of them looked at each other and laughed.

Rachel said, "I was stupid." Will glanced over to Rachel and asked, "Why?"

"I am so desperate when it comes to love. I wanted to be loved so much that it became my obsession. I even thought of a relationship with you when I was 16. Why can't I find myself a decent guy?" Will could see that Rachel's cheeks were blushing when she said that. Well, at least she wasn't crying.

"Humans do stupid things when it comes to love. I know it's not always easy for you Rachel, but remember what I said back then. I told you then that there is somebody out there who's going to like you even the parts that you don't even like about yourself. The guy exists, Rachel. And you need to know that a guy like that is somewhere. You will find him," Will said. Will took Rachel's hand and held it in his. Rachel smiled back and Will took his hand off. Rachel began to look outside again. As if the radio could read Will's mind, it started to play a new song. Will smiled and sang along with it.

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Will let the whole song continue to play on the radio. Rachel's head was still towards her window. If only Will could see the look of Rachel's face. There was nothing but joy in her heart and happiness in her eyes when Will sang it to her. She, however, did not show it to him, so Will kept on driving home, unsure of what Rachel was feeling at the moment.

As Will was driving through a neighborhood, her smile fade away. She noticed a black Range Rover parked outside a house. The license plate read "JSTJ". It can't be, Rachel thought to herself. Rachel saw that there were two people standing outside in the front porch. The both of them were holding each other and kissing passionately.

"It's probably not Jesse. It must be somebody else," Rachel thought frantically. She started hyperventilating and her tears started to form again. Rachel came to the undeniable conclusion that Jesse was cheating on her. Will looked immediately at Rachel and saw her crying. He frowned and pulled off to the side of the road. They were literally right outside the street of Will's apartment, but Will didn't want to drive. Will turned off the engine as Rachel continued to cry. He reached over to the glove compartment and handed her a napkin. With his other hand, he held onto her shoulder to let her know that he was there with her. The only thing he could give her at the moment was silence.

Fortunately for Will, Rachel stopped crying sooner than in the school. She sniffled a bit, but then she told Will that he can continue to drive home. It seemed as if she already decided on something. As Will turned into his parking lot, Will could hear Rachel whisper to him, "Thanks" as they got out of the car and walked towards Will's front door.

As Will fumbled around with his keys, Rachel never stopped staring at Will. She had already decided. She was going to confront him again because she knew for sure that Will Schuester still had feelings for her. She hoped that this time the results would be a LOT different.

Thanks for reading. Hope you guys are looking forward to the confrontation part II inside Will's home. Nowhere to run now, Will. Thank you for your comment and please comment some more about this chapter. Have a great Thanksgiving break! Eat lots of turkeys and pumpkin pie.
