Uncertainties

Jesse's POV

My phone went off. Again…. "Andrea! I swear to God if you call me again! I will definitely not be attending the Vocal Adrenaline reunion…. "I snapped. "Well hello to you to Jesse." A familiar voice answered. "Ms. Corcan?" I asked surprised. "You graduated Jesse. You can call me Shelby." She answered. "Okay, Shelby?" "I heard you and Rachel were in town. So I take it that you guys are dating a then?" she asked. Why would you care? "That's right Shelby. We started dating during the workshops of Sunday at Tiffany's "I replied. Silence. I could practically see the wheels turning in her head. "Shelby. I will not be your pawn again. "I told her warily. I will not hurt again. "Jesse I wouldn't ask you to be a "pawn" again." She told me. "I just want Rachel to come over so I can talk to her. I need her to know that Beth was not a replacement for her." You're a little late don't you think? "I don't know Shelby… she was really hurt by what we did to her." "Jesse pleases? Or I will make you babysit Beth" She warned.

OH dear God….

Flash back

Ms. Corcan was only supposed to be gone a few hours. In that time Beth was supposed to be put to bed….

Shelby had come home to Beth and me in hysterics. She was bumped and bruised (I was trying to make her laugh. I didn't mean to fall on her…) and we both had baby vomit and food EVERYWHERE. I think that is the only time I preferred to get yelled at by Vocal Adrenaline Ms. Corcan instead of "Mommy" Corcan….

End of Flashback

I sighed. "Fine. I WILL try to get her to see you. But don't be surprised if she says no." I told her. "That's all I ask." She said. "I will see you guys at five at my house." And with that she hung up. Dang it. What am I going to do? Tell Rachel the truth. A voice whispered. Well that's the obvious answer. Yeah it's not like I can hurt anymore. I thought staring at my phone.

Rachel's POV

Hmmm… I wonder where Jesse went. I asked myself. He definitely went this way. I walked out of McKinley smiling. I quickly looked around the parking lot. Ah ha! There he was! I made my way over to him. He was looking at his phone. I quietly stood behind him, watching him for a moment; before wrapping my arms around his waist. He jumped slightly.

"Oh hi babe." He said turning around and pulling me closer. "What's wrong? I asked. He looked down at me with those bright green eyes that I loved. "I…" He sighed, running on hand through his hair. A nervous habit. "Jesse you can tell me anything." I prompted. Jesse took another deep breath. "Shelby wants to talk to you." He murmured.

What the heck?
