Summary: Theatricality. Drama, by definition baby... :P *disclaimer* I do not own Glee, If I did Jonathon Groff would be a regular and St. Berry would be together for-ev-er...
Chapter 2: "Theatricality?" No. Just Drama...

Jesse's PoV:
I loved you. Those words echoed in my head for weeks after "the incident" had happened as Haylee called it. Haylee was the only person besides Shelby that I talked to from Vocal Adrenaline. They were the only things that helped me keep my sanity during the weeks before Regionals. I had become what Vocal Adrenaline was known for: a soulless automan. I had put all my focus in the numbers and it had started to affect my work. Shelby had even called on me on it during a rehearsal of our Lady Gaga number we had come up with. "Where is the emotion?" she said, looking at me, "Funny Girl in E Flat". As soon as she finished showing us how its done I see Rachel, She is looking right at Shelby, she must have heard her sing because she tells her that she is her daughter in front of everybody. Shelby kicks us all out so that she could talk to Rachel alone. Yeah right like I'm going to leave after everything I have sacrificed for this moment! I hide in the shadows by the doors listening to them discuss what had just happened. It was very strained as to be expected but Shelby did say that she would call Rachel, which left me to believe they left me to believe that they finished on good terms. I go to McKinley a couple of days later hoping to talk to Rachel, I wanted to ask her for another chance. Now that she had her mother maybe she wouldn't hold my indiscretions against me. I went to the choir room to see Rachel but she wasn't in there so I went to the next place I thought she would be: The auditorium. Rachel always went there to sing after Glee ended to perfect her voice or sing about her emotions after a hard day. We spent many days there... I saw Rachel but she wasn't alone. She was talking to Shelby, I did what I did last time and waited by the door listening to what they were saying. I was fuming by the end of the discussion, Shelby had told Rachel that it was a mistake to look for her! To add injury to insult she gave her a cup with her name and gold stars stating that it was her thing. Rachel held back her tears and asked her to sing with her.. I couldn't stick around to hear them and went back to my car.. I yelled at the top of my lungs, getting out all my frustration and hurt at the fact that after all that I sacrificed that Rachel wasn't going to get her dream after all. For the first time in a long time, I cried, mourning the relationship I could have had.
Rachel's PoV:
I had gone to Caramel High to see Jesse perform, like I have for the past couple of weeks since we broke up, when I see that they are working on Gaga!I of course head back to McKinley and tell them what I learned, what kind of co-captain would I be if I didn't tell them of a potential threat? Mr. Shue was initially upset but then had decided that we had to fight fire with fire. Quinn, Mercedes and I head over to spy on Vocal Adrenaline (for inspirational purposes of course) when we hear their coach Miss Corcoran had begun to sing"Funny Girl". As soon as she finished I realize that Miss Corcoran is my mother! I couldn't help it, I started walking to the stage ignoring the hushed yells that my teammates are giving me to return. Miss Corcoran, Im Rachel Berry Your daughter. She looked down at me and told her team to leave. I ask her the questions that I've wanted to know all my life did she regret giving me up? Was it hard not to make it? She answered just as I would've. Genetics impact more than I thought. The next day, Quinn and Mercedes told the team. They were all scared that I would "jump ship" as Noah put it. I reassured them that this was not the case. As the day wore on I realized that I really needed a mother. I went back to see my mom after the beanie baby catastrophe , asking for her help making a new Gaga dress for our theatricality assignment. She helped with some hesitance... On day I got a phone call from mother telling me that she wanted to meet me, I told her that she could meet me at school since I was working on my Gaga number ( that and I wasn't sure if my dad's would want to see her) The meeting didn't go the way I had wanted, she told me that it was a mistake to look for me, then she gave me a cup with my name and gold stars as a gift so that I would remember her by, which only made me thirstier (sadder). I held back the tears that threatened to come out of my eyes when I asked her to sing with me.. I couldn't think of one at the top of my head so we sang my Gaga song pokerface. When she left I grabbed my things, thanked Brad then headed out to my car when I see a Black Range Rover with the license plate that read Voc. Ad. 1 Jesse. As if my day couldnt get any worse, I walk over to yell at him when I see that he is crying...
