Shelby sighted. She knew that what they –mainly she- did to them was horrible, but she couldn't just let Jesse suffer so much. Even if he did wake up, it would just go downhill again. Jesse loved Rachel with his whole heart, even if it was made of stone. She knew this, because she visited him once in his dorm in LA. She remembered how shocked he was that she was there, out of nowhere at his door.

-Flashback-

He took a painkiller while she was exploring his dorm. She could see he didn't want her there, but she wanted to know how he was doing.

She wandered to his bedroom. The bed was unmade, and there were clothes everywhere on the floor. There was a little desk, with a lot of pictures scattered over it. She wanted to take a closer look and when she arrived at the desk, she found dozens of pictures of him, Rachel and them. There was a photo from a photobooth, she was sitting on his lap and he had her arms around her waist. They both had a big smile plastered on their face, and Shelby couldn't help but notice how happy they were. There was one of Rachel in a blue polka-dot dress, she was eating a piece of pie; she was just about to put a piece in her mouth. There was one of just her face, she stuck out her tongue.

"Like what you see?" his voice was raw, the drinking clearly wasn't good for his voice. She turned around, like she was a little kid, caught by her parents from stealing a cookie out of the box.

"I was just looking around…"

"Yeah, I already got that." He walked over to her, and started collecting the pictures.

"Jesse, these are really good… Seems like you have some hidden talents." She said it carefully, measuring the words in her head. She didn't want him to get angry. He sighted and run a finger over another picture.

"Yeah, well." He turned away and walked to the small kitchen. "Why are you here Shelby."

"I wanted to know how you were doing."

He turned and locked his eyes with hers. He was frowning and his voice was icecold when he said, "I'm fine Shelby. Was that all?" He walked over to the door and held it open for her.

"Yeah. Jesse, please, please take care of yourself." And with that she walked out of his apartment. Little did she know she would maybe never see him after that.

-End flashback-

"Rachel, please. He needs you." There had been a long silence, and they were standing outside the restaurant. "Just- just think about it."

"I- I will. But how come he's in the Lima hospital?" Rachel asked.

"I don't know either. The hospital called me Saturday, I was still on his emergency-contact list."

"Oh. Well, bye." She turned around and walked away as fast as she could. Her heart was telling her to go, but her brains said to wait a while.

She had Chinese with her dads that night. She didn't tell them about Shelby, she didn't even tell them about the egging. She just said she and Jesse just didn't work out.

Rachel loved Chinese. Especially Chinese cookies. She broke hers open and read the note. Her heart skipped a beat. Damn you, Chinese-cookie makers. The little white paper said:

"Always follow your heart."

End! So I know it's very cliché but what the hell. I do not own glee by the way.
Sorry it's so short, but next will be longer. Review counter on 20 before next chapter!

Love, Hach.
