Peeling back the layers
Chapter 4
Jesse's Point Of View:
Jesse pulled up to McKinley the next morning after his conversation with Quinn he needed a way to get close to Rachel so that he could regain our trust and love. He had come up with the perfect plan he was going to ask Mr. Shuster if he needed a co director for the glee club he knew he could help The New Directions gained their first national title.
He knew he would not be trusted by everyone at night he would have to earn their trust and respect. He was willing to do anything to protect Rachel his conversation with Quinn still at the forefront of his mind. He got out of his Range Rover and walked up to the front steps of the school as he opened the door and stepped into the hallway he was hit by memories of himself and Rachel in happier times.
He shook his head to clear his mind and walked to the choir room and took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Mr. Shuster was working on a musical arrangement when he heard a knock he turned and was shocked at who was there.
"Jessie St. James what can I do for you?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."
"I was wondering if you needed a co director for the glee club?"
Mr. Shuster looked at him shocked.
"I thought you were at UCLA."
"I was but I flunked out turns out you have to go to class to get credit I was so used to having my grades excused to focus on Vocal Adrenaline I guess."
"I see."
"So I left before I was forced to I guess."
"So now you want to coach the New Directions."
"Mr. Shuster I think it could really help you gain the national title that your team deserves."
"Jesse thank you for your offer but do you really think everyone will just forget your history here?"
"I was hoping we could get past it yes and leave it there."
"What about Rachel? she was really her when you left."
"Truthfully ritual as part of the reason I want to do this to gain her trust in love again."
Mr. Shuster saw in Jesse's eye's that he loved Rachel still but why is committed to also truly helping the glee club. He finally gave in to Jesse's idea.
"Okay Jesse I will give you a chance as co director but promise me you will not Rachel again."
"I promise Mr. Shuster."
"Good and call me Will since this means we will be working together."
Just the left and felt good that his plan is working so far he just needed Rachel to forgive him. He was headed back to his car when he heard a voice yelling.
Jesse rounded the corner and what he saw broken heart as they are starred Dave Karofsky yelling at Rachel she was cowering in the corner trying to shrink away from him.
"Freak I'm talking to you."
Finn was coming down the hallway and saw what was going on and at that moment stepped in front of Rachel in a protective stance.
"Leave her alone Dave."
"What are you doing Hudson protecting the glee freaks?"
"She's my friend and teammate I'm a member of glee does that make me a freak too?"
Dave stepped further toward Rachel and she shrank back further.
"I said back off Karofsky ."
Rachel was looking around wildly trying to find an escape she spotted Jesse and with the adrenaline was pumping through her body she took off for her safe haven. She reached him and he opened his arms and as if it was instinctual he wrapped his arms around her and they fit perfectly like no time had passed at all.
