Jesse knocks on Rachel's front door just after 6. He's holding a picnic basket with the food he's made and his acceptance letter is in his jacket pocket. When Rachel doesn't immediately answer the door Jesse knocks again, a worried look crossing his face. He knocks a third time and is reaching for his phone when Rachel opens the door. Jesse steps back at the sight of Rachel, her eyes are red and her face is twisted in a look of pure loathing.

Before Jesse can question the look his cheek is met with Rachel's palm in a resounding slap. Jesse staggers back and Rachel's hand flies to her mouth in shock. She hadn't been planning on doing that, she was just going to question him and most likely yell at him, the slap must have been her drama queen coming out.

"Wh-What the fuck was that?" Jesse asked fiercely.

"You swore that you weren't using me! You said that you wouldn't play me! But those were all just fucking lies!" Rachel yells and goes to slam the door.

Jesse stops it with his foot and follows her into the house.

"What are you talking about? I'm not using you!" Jesse responds angrily, he thought that Rachel trusted him. Even though he knows that he hasn't been completely honest, he hasn't been using her.

"I don't believe you!" Rachel takes a breath before continuing. "I know that you only got close to me to spy on New Directions, but its over now I know the truth, I heard a few of your Vocal Adrenalin team mates talking about the emails you have been send to Shelby Corcoran. So don't bother denying it."

Jesse opens and closes his mouth, no sound escaping. His mind is reeling with the possibilities of how Rachel found out. If she even knows the truth, she could be bluffing. He looks into her eyes and knows that she is firm in her accusations and this silence from him all but confirms his actions.

"It's not like that Rachel. I…" Jesse pauses, an ache settling in his chest at the disgust pouring from Rachel's eyes.

"What? What was it like Jesse?"

"It wasn't supposed to be like this, I never wanted to spy. I like-"

"Don't you dare say that you like me for me and that you were only asked to spy on my team after we met."

"But that's the truth Rachel. I met you that day at the store accidentally, it wasn't planned. I never thought that I would ever find myself in a relationship with you, let alone actually meeting you." Rachel rolls her eyes at this. "I would never stoop so low as to spy on a rival team, if I can't win something because of my own talent I don't deserve to win." Jesse says dropping onto the couch in front of Rachel.

"Then why were you sending emails to Shelby?" Rachel asks her hands on her hips, the anger still in her voice.

"They were filled with lies." Jesse answers and Rachel quirks her eyebrow, so Jesse continues. "I was sending her fake set lists, song arrangements and choreography notes. Yeah I might have told her the artist but I always chose a different song."

Rachel softens her stance at the sincerity in Jesse's voice, but she knows that he is an actor so she steals her resolve again.

"How do I know you're not lying?"

Jesse looks up into Rachel's eyes. He notes that she is torn between believing him and wanting to throw him to the wolves that are the glee club. He thinks he might deserve even chose that fate if Rachel doesn't relent and listen to him.

"Here I'll send you every single email I've ever sent Shelby." Jesse says and pulls out his iPhone, sending Rachel the past few weeks' worth of emails.

Rachel hears her laptop ping with the sound of incoming emails. She makes no move to go read them. The two teens stare at each other. Jesse looks defeated, but relieved. Like the weight that he had been struggling to carry around has been lifted, Rachel thinks she sees Jesse become lighter the moment he had sent her the truth. Jesse sees the unshed tears in her eyes and he wants nothing more than to pull her close and let her soak his shirt with them.

"Jesse just tell me the truth why did this happen? How did it start?" Rachel asks quietly, and moves to sit next to Jesse. She hopes that being closer and talking like normal people instead of in harsh tones will help her see the truth.

"Well Mr. Schue came to a rehearsal and told Shelby about us. I wasn't going to, until I knew that it was more than just a one date thing. After she found out from Mr. Schue she thought that it was a great thing, something that she could use to win again."

"I guess I get the why and the how. Just one other thing I heard at the store, one of the girls said that the only reason you would be doing this is if Shelby had something over you, what does she have?"

Jesse turns his head to look at Rachel, her brown eyes staring at him waiting for an answer. He can't look at them; he pulls himself off the couch and runs his hands through his hair. He doesn't want to give Rachel the real reason, he was going to, but with all this anger he knows that it isn't the right time.

"UCLA. Shelby holds all the connections for my future. Yeah the scholarship should be mine, but she can make one call and it will all go away."

Rachel scoffs and shakes her head. "I asked for the truth Jesse, why are you still lying?"

"I'm not lying Rach. It's the truth." Jesse says angrily, because it is partially the truth.

"It's bullshit. You don't need that as your future anymore." Rachel says standing, and Jesse gives her a confused look. "I saw your acceptance to NYU. It accidentally slipped out of your bag at lunch today. That was probably more of an accident, than you showing up at that music store close to McKinley."

Jesse is speechless he's cornered and he doesn't know what to say. Rachel remembers something that Jesse had previously said, that it was an accident he was at that store, but why would he be there when there was one closer to his home and Carmel.

"Which by the way, what the hell were you doing in the McKinley area? I know there is another store closer to Carmel, so why were you all the way over in this area? Was it really such an accident? Just tell me the fucking truth!" Rachel yells the last sentence.

"Because I fucking chickened out on my way to your school to finally meet my father for the first time!" Jesse practically shouts and Rachel pulls back as if the words had weight and hit against her, she knows that this isn't a lie.

"Yeah Brittany had it right, I am Will Schuester's son, even if he doesn't know it. So that's the truth. That's what Shelby is holding over me and with it basically she can decide how my future relationship with my father will go." Jesse takes Rachel's silence as a sign that she doesn't believe him. "So I'm stuck being a fucking 'spy,' being the one guy that no one fully trusts, I'm losing the one girl that has actually been able to keep up with me, I'll probably lose what ever chance I had at having a relationship with my father and watch by Monday I will have lost my place in the glee club."

When Rachel still makes no move Jesse scoffs and leaves, slamming the door behind him. The sound jerks Rachel from her statue like position and she drops to the couch, she can't believe what she has just heard and what she just did to Jesse. The tears fall from her eyes, not because of the ache of betrayal, but because of the hurt for Jesse and the thought that now he might just run back to Vocal Adrenalin and this time with real setlists.

Jesse peels out of Rachel's driveway and drives a few blocks away before pulling over and slamming his hand on the steering wheel. He can't understand how things got so fucked up. He knows he won't be putting in an appearance at school tomorrow, but he won't be leaving McKinley either. Once he's calmed down a bit he drives himself to his home, tonight he longs for the silent, emptiness of that house.
