So, here's the next chapter. Sorry it took so long, that shouldn't happen again.

Enjoy!

Getting in was the easy part. Addison didn't expect to have any type of problem with this part of her plan, but she was glad it was over. She'd never had to audition like that. Most of the auditions she'd been to were in an auditorium, or through video. She was surprised to admit that being in such close proximity with the people she was auditioning for made her uncomfortable, so she was glad to take a seat, right in the middle of the class.

"Welcome to the group Addison." Mr. Schuester congratulated. "Now, why don't you guys welcome your new teammate while I go copy your music for the week?" Mr. Schuester suggested, picking up sheet music off the piano, and walking out the door.

As was expected, the room exploded into near-pandemonium. Although to be fair, the only classroom that did not explode into ear shattering pandemonium when the teacher left, was the deaf studies room.

Anyways. The students, left to their own devices, started up 'Soul Sister' again. Addison had never seen a group of school kids that actually did assignments while the teacher was gone.

Addison was starting to get into the music, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Jesse." She said, though is sounded like more of a breath then an actual name. He didn't say anything, but the dangerous look in his icy eyes made her bite her tongue. He pulled her out of her chair, and took a step back before she could get too close to him, before turning, and walking to the door. Addison followed quickly, pushing past the dancing students that Jesse seemed to so easily avoid. Before she knew it, they were in the school hallway.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jesse asked. He sounded cool, but anyone could tell this was just the calm before a storm.

"Hey baby, nice to see you too, I'm doing quite well. I just missed you so much, and VA isn't learning anything taxing while you're gone so I decided to come-"

"Addison, shut up." She stopped, scared. She'd never seen Jesse so angry. He looked like he was about to punch the locker next to her, or something. "Why. The hell. Are. You. Here." He was carefully restrained, and it made Addison uneasy. She couldn't help but be disappointed in the way things were starting to turn out. She took a step back, and felt the cold metal of the red locker through her blouse.

"I'm your girlfriend, Jesse. I missed you." She said, hating how pathetic she sounded.

"If you could think of anything but yourself Addison, you'd remember that we broke up." He stepped forward, and though his words were solidly against her, Addison knew she still had a chance.

"But baby," she started, lacing her fingers behind his neck, "you didn't really mean that. You were just making it up because Corcoran needed you." She blinked up through her lashes and pouted, delighted to see Jesse's eyes soften a little bit, showing her she was right.

"Besides," Addison began again, leaning infinitesimally closer, crossing the border between friend and lover. "Nobody has to know, you can still have your little project. You know I don't care, as long as I'm the one you come back to at night." They were so close now, bodies together, Addison knew it would only take one more push to get him back. It was almost too easy.

"Your new fetal project can be totally in the dark." Suddenly, Jesse wrenched himself from her grasp, and pinned her against the lockers.

"Rachel is not, by any standards, a project." He said, almost snarling. Addison didn't know how to react. "She's an amazing and talented young woman, whom I currently happen to be dating." That hurt, Addison could remember the time they she and Jesse came out to Vocal Adrenalinee, he had used that exact same line, but it had been loving, and joyous. Now it was the most personal, hurtful dart he could have thrown at her.

"Does she know?" Addison shot back, struggling to free herself. It was hopeless, she knew, from past experience, that Jesse was much, much stronger then she was, and ever would be, no matter how hard she worked.

"No, and you're not going to tell her." Jesse said, ending the conversation and dropping his hands, freeing an angry, glaring Addison. She reached the door before he did, and somehow managed to slam it in his face.

Addison turned to find the gaze of every glee club member, once again, focused on her. Part of her screamed to open the door, and get out of there. Out of William McKinley High School and back to Carmel High, and Vocal Adrenaline where she belonged. But she stayed, instead, raising her head high, she walked back into the room and collapsed, gracefully, into the first empty chair she saw. She had never been so humiliated and rejected in her life and she found herself blinking back tears as she watched Rachel Berry welcome her boyfriend back.

"It kills me not to know this, but, I've all but just forgotten what the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them. As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten.-" The well knows strains of Rise Against's 'Savior' picked up, and everyone turned, surprised that Jesse had initiated a new song for the first time. Finn and Artie jumped on their instruments, ready and raring to back this up.

"That's when she said I don't hate you boy, I just want to save you while there's still something left to save" Two voices joined in on the chorus, Rachel, and surprisingly enough, or unsurprisingly, Addison. The guitar chords petered out, and the drum beats slowed. The Glee kids were too used to the duets to keep going with the song when one of their unwritten rules was so flagrantly broken. The silence that ensued was awkward to say the least, Addison wouldn't apologize, and Jesse and Rachel made no move to let the class know they didn't mind. Although Rachel was obviously confused by the open hostility between her boyfriend and the new girl.

Luckily, before anything worse happened, Mr. Schuester walked back in with sheet music and an assignment.

So, before you leave, I have a question.

Do you guys have any interest in a playlist for this story? Unfortunately, the songs don't come across here as well as they do in the actual episodes, which is really no big surprise.

Oh, and also, what did you think of last weeks episode? I personally loved it, but let me know what you guys thought in the review section.
