A/N: So almost didn't get to write this chapter. There was an emergency, and therapy to take my sister to, and blah blah blah. But I'm gonna try to get as much done as I can today and post it. It might be short and cut off at a weird place, but I'm gonna try not to. My friend pointed out the Rachel is kind of cheating on Finn by kissing Jesse, and stuff, but Rachel doesn't see it that way. She thinks that she isn't connected to Finn emotionally, or physically anymore, and that they are only technically still dating. However Finn thinks she loves him. Just thought I should clarify.
I also don't know if I had said this already, but I'm gonna try and post a new chapter every day, except Sundays. I never know what I'm doing on Sundays and I get to the point where I just can't type anymore. But other than that, and a hectic morning, here is Chapter Seven.
Almost 3 weeks had past since Rachel had seen Jesse. It was getting to the point where it was unbearable. She couldn't take not seeing him everyday, or just running around with him. She missed her bestfriend. He was more than that to her, but for the time being, that's what she would call him.
Sure they texted all day long, and IMed after school. He called her everyday after his classes were finished, and before he went to bed. But it wasn't enough. She had already decided to use the first of her plane tickets, and had discussed it with her Dad's, who had approved with conditions. Now she just had to tell Finn. This will be interesting. She thought.
Jesse was surprised to find a letter from Rachel in the mail that day. He had just come back from his run around campus, and checked the mail, hoping for a CD he had ordered off the Internet. He pulled the headphones from his ears as he tore open the letter, jogging up the flights of stairs to his dorm.
Jesse,
I have found your gift and I accept the tickets on one condition; You let me repay you in some way.
Jesse paused as less than innocent thoughts ran through his head.
I already booked a flight for a week after I expect you should receive this letter. I hope it gets there on time. Just to be sure, it's two weeks after I'm writing this.
Jesse checked the date in the top corner of the letter. It was written a week ago. She would be there that weekend. His heart fluttered with excitement.
I'm going to tell Finn where I am going. I would say that I hope he takes it better than I expect, but to be honest I'm coming whether he says yes or not. Just thought you should know.
Love Always,
Rachel Berry
Jesse was beyond excited. She would be there in a week. Only a week until he would see her. He flew the rest of the way up the stairs to his room. He turned on the happiest music he had and jumped in the shower.
"You're flying out to see him?" Finn yelled at Rachel making her flinch, she stood her ground though. "Rachel do you know how bad that looks on me? Letting my girlfriend go see her college ex-boyfriend in another state? It looks like I'm asking you to cheat on me!"
"Finn, it doesn't matter what you say, I am going to see Jesse." She squared her shoulders, and stuck her nose up in the air, defiantly.
Finn slammed his fist into the locker behind him. "NO. You are not."
"Yes. I am."
"Rachel if you get on that plane, we're over." He shook with anger. Rachel, looked at him surprised. After a moment of silence, she sauntered over to him and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Then I guess this is goodbye." She saw the hurt, anger, and disappointment on his face, as she turned and walked away from him. She saw what on his face what she was sure was on her face the day of the egging. This was different thought. She hadn't betrayed him, or smashed an egg on his head. She had just made a decision. She made a decision that he had forced her to make, and he couldn't handle the consequences of it.
[That week at glee club...]
"Alright guys, are you ready for this week's assignment?" Mr. Schuester asked the class. There was a din of agreements and acknowledgements.
"This week's assignment is a relatively tricky one." he began. "I've noticed some of you are having...disagreements with one another." The teacher thought back to the last couple weeks, Mercedes and Santana, Kurt and Quinn, Puck and Tina, Rachel and Finn. They had all be arguing this week. Most of them over trivial things.
"So this week's assignment. You are to pick a song that says exactly what you wanna say to the person you have been butting heads with. Remember to keep it clean guys." Mr. Schue thought this would be a wonderful way to get the kids to vent their feelings, and settle things in a controlled way.
Rachel and Finn both raised their hands at the same time, and in unison said "Mr. Schue, I'd like to go ahead and do my assignment." They looked at each other with venom in their glares.
"Umm...Finn why don't you go first." he said taking a seat.
The music kicked in a Schue knew he had made a mistake. Finn stared into Rachel's eyes. Never breaking this throughout the performance.
What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance
I know now, this is who I really am
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
Come, break me down
Break me down
Break me down
What if I wanted to break?
What if I, what if I, what if I
Bury me, bury me
Rachel just laughed humorlessly as Finn took his seat. She raised her hand to go next.
"That was...good, Finn. Rachel, you're up next." Schuester said.
Rachel surprised him with something he never thought she would do...punk rock. He laughed a little in his surprised state as she danced around Finn and the room, grabbing the other students to dance with her.
You're like the guy on the phone in his Lamborghini
Talking with the male while his wife's on the other line
He will never say that really, really, truly loves her
He just doesn't have time
You're like the friend that was more like an enemy
An evil smile that will get you anything you need
No one will ever really know that they just don't have time
There's only so much abuse that I'm gonna take
You're wasting all my time!
Goodbye, you suck!
Never really liked you
No more "What's up?"
'Cause I don't care anymore
Goodbye, you suck
Said I never liked you
So long, good luck!
Goodbye, you suck!
You're like the bully in my high school down the street
Living with the pain that is so damn hard to beat
She will never say that she's really, really, truly sorry
She will never shine
You're like the phone call that I always seem to get
20 times a day, just convincing me to place a bet
But I'm not gonna answer, I'm not gonna answer
There's only so much abuse that I'm gonna take
You're wasting all my time!
Goodbye, you suck!
Never really liked you
No more "What's up?"
'Cause I don't care anymore
Goodbye, you suck
Said I never liked you
So long, good luck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Never really liked you
No more "What's up?"
'Cause I don't care anymore
Goodbye, you suck
Said I never liked you
So long, good luck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You were so overrated anyway
Way to perfect for my taste
I wish I could've seen this long ago
The happy ending seeing you alone
Goodbye, you suck!
Never really liked you
No more "What's up?"
'Cause I don't care anymore
Goodbye, you suck
Said I never liked you
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Never really liked you
No more "What's up?"
'Cause I don't care anymore
Goodbye, you suck
Said I never liked you
So long, good luck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
Goodbye, you suck!
The class roared with laughter and applause when the number was done. Finn stormed out of the classroom, which went unnoticed by the class.
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." Schue rubbed his face firmly with his hands in frustration.
A/N: Reunion next chapter hopefully. I found that Shiloh song on youtube randomly a few days after I started this fanfiction, and just knew Rachel had to sing it to Finn originally hadn't planned on bringing the group into this but it worked out better. I really wish you guys could see the custom fonts I picked out for Jesse and Rachel. They are perfect! Ugh.
Like I said very lyrical chapter, and a bit choppy in places, but it worked, and I need a nap. Lol. Hope you guys aren't disappointed.
Songs Used:
The Kill- 30 Seconds to Mars
Goodbye, You Suck- Shiloh
Reviews keep Rachel's plane from being delayed!
