Ok, please don't hate me for the ending. Sorry if it's been longer than a week. Like I said I will try…. Life tends to get in the way, but fingers crossed that they will be at least close to every week.

Rachel arrived at Jesse and Ken's house later that night and when she saw him nearly turned around and left again.

'Wait Rach, please don't go. We made vegan lasagne.'

'Fine.' She replied, wishing that it was as she had thought and only Ken was there.

'Rach, what's wrong, you know you can tell me anything?'

'Even after you broke up with me, huh?'

Jesse felt his heart breaking at the lack of trust that Rachel now has for hm, but he had to try and find out what was wrong, after all the last time he'd seen her like this was after he'd egged her. He still remembered the crushed look on her face as he'd smashed the egg on her head, the yolk dripping down her face, making her hair no longer the soft silk that he'd loved.

That's it he thought, someone's hurt her. Ok, gently this time, you don't want to hurt her anymore than you already have St. James.' Jesse thought to himself.

'Rach, did something happen between you and Brody?'

'He…..he…..he broke up with me after I didn't accept his proposal. He…he said that I obviously still loved you but you broke my heart I couldn't.'

'Come here Rach.' He said reaching out and enveloping her in what he hoped was a comforting hug once again regretting what he'd done to her. 'How about we sing about it?'

He put some music on and the beginning of the backing track for break even started.

(Jesse, Rachel, Both)

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while he got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even

What was she thinking that Brody had actually cared, that any of the guys she had dated had, after all Jesse had broken her heart and stolen her chance at a national trophy, Finn had tried to make her choose between Broadway and him and then cheated with Santana because he assumed she was seeing Jesse again, and Brody… Brody hadn't trusted her.

She has an amazing voice, always has. She's captivating even when she's thinking about someone else. Does she realize that I chose this song because it reminds me of her? Sure I broke her heart but I broke mine first.

Her best days were some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

Ok, maybe Brody was right, maybe I do still like Jesse, but only a little bit. After all he was my first love; that must be it. I only love what we once had. Why does he have to look so hot, and so crushed on my behalf? Wait…
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even... no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh, you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains, ooh
'Cause you left me with no love and honour to my name.

I forgave her for the Run Joey Run episode a long time ago, so why is my heart breaking like it did then. Is it because I know she got hurt by this Brody guy.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break...
No, it don't break
No, it don't break even, no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?
(Oh glad you're okay now)
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
(Oh I'm glad you're okay)
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
(One still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no, it don't break even)

He sounds so sincere…. Maybe just maybe he still likes me. No I moved here to follow my dreams, not to be that idiotic schoolgirl who believes in everlasting love, not that schoolgirl who believed him when he said we deserve epic romance.

Deciding that she must be kidding herself if she believes that Jesse really still cares about her, instead figuring that this must be just another acting exercise, Rachel felt her heart break just a little more. She should have known that she couldn't replace him no matter how hard she tried. Maybe she would just have to spend the rest of her life single.

Oh, it don't break even no
Oh, it don't break even no
Oh, it don't break even no
