Sorry guys for the long wait but I had millions of things to sort out! Exams, Studying... but finally I found time! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

She stood beside the door frozen. As soon as she saw him she knew that he was there for no good.

"Rache, sorry if I scared you-" He had that crooked smile on his face "What are you doing here Finn? I thought we had nothing left to say."

"Look, i didn't come here to get into a fight. I just wanted to tell you some things, but I guess its not the right time. I want to ask you a favor, and please don't deny..."

Rachel raised her eyebrow. She didn't know whether to be mad at him or just forgive him for all he had done and just move on.

"Please make it quick, I have to get my things ready."

"Look, when we get back to Ohio, can we go somewhere to talk? Breadstix maybe?"

"I'll think about it. I don't know Finn, that kiss... You confused me ok? I don't know what to think anymore. We are a couple and you slap me and we break up and you come and kiss me out of the blue? Don't tell me that that kiss meant nothing for you and don't give me the "I was drunk" nonsense. I know you like the palm of my hand Finn."

"You've got all the time you need Rache, but really we have to talk" And he turned around and left.

As he was leaving the room Shelby got in after him, and gave a weird look to Rachel

"Rache, did anything happen?" Rachel looked Shelby in the eyes, the proper answer was no, but Finn made Rachel wonder what the hell was going on.

"I think not, at least for the moment, or until we get back to Ohio, he wants to talk to me" And now Rachel had her worried look on. "Look Rache, I'm sure he wants to make up for the fact that you weren't the best friends since you started dating Jesse again, or he just wants to explain the kiss." Rachel laughed and looked at Shelby "And that's exactly what I want to avoid"

After the small talk Rachel and Shelby got their things ready, and got down to the lobby. They had about 5 hours until their flight so they would talk to them and then leave them alone in New York to enjoy it for the last time.

"Guys, before you leave, Shelby and I want to talk to you for something" Will gathered them in one of the empty halls so they didn't have any destructions.

"So, we want to congratulate all of you for the huge win we had. We couldn't achieve this if anyone of you was missing, you were all a part of this. Watching all of you cooperating and performing together, gave us the idea that we should keep this two glee clubs together, but we want to know if you want this too, we won't rush you in any decisions, but you'll have the whole flight to Ohio to think about it!" There where some weird looks, some excited ones, some that where definitely saying no but they would know when they got back "Anyway guys, you are free to go now, please be back in 3 hours, and don't go very far, don't get hit by a bus, don't get in any fights and don't do anything illegal"

They all left, except Rachel, she was on the phone with her dads, ever since she told them she wanted to move in with Shelby, they called her every day to change her mind. She seemed to be rethinking it, but she wasn't sure just yet.

"Rache, are you ok baby?"

"Mom, I need to talk to you lets go sit"

"Is there anything wrong Rache? you seem upset..."

"Umm I was on the phone with my dad, ever since I told him I was moving in with you he i calling every day to change my mind, and to be honest, i'm starting to rethink it. I really want to come and stay with you, but I also love my dads, maybe it was a rushed idea to live the house but I don't know what to think anymore. It's all new to me, and I don't want to live unhappy in my own house"

"Rache, I've been thinking about it too. I want you back in my life, but after some consideration I thought I couldn't get you away from the dads that brought you up, it would be unfair. But then I thought of another solution! There is a house next to you that is up for sale right? It's been a long time now that I've been searching for a house, because Beth will grow up in a few years, and we can't live in an apartment. So I was thinking that I could buy the house and move next to you. It will the best for all of us. You'll have your room there and we'll be like a small neighborhood! What do you think?"

Rachels eyes widened. She knew that Shelby would have the solution, and she was more than excited to hear it.

"That's the best solution that could ever happen Mom, it will be awesome, and I can have you, and my dads, and Beth. Thank you mom" She gave Shelby a warm hug and a sweet kiss and then she ran to join the others for the walk in the town.

As soon as Rachel got out of the hotel, she found Jesse talking on the phone with a huge smile on his face, which could only mean one thing, good news. She went close to him, and he hugged her while hanging up the phone.

"Babe, i got some good and bad news, Berkeley university in California wants to interview me, and I'm probably getting a scholarship there. But, the bad news are that I have to be in California in 2 days, I was on the phone with my parents now. They are in Dubai, and they are coming tonight in New York, we'll stay here and then we'll fly to California."

Rachel was speechless, she stood there just looking at him, and it took her 2 minutes to think and react.

"Wow, baby that's great! I'm really happy for you" She gave him a kiss and she went back to her thoughts. She wasn't sure whether this was a good or a bad thing because it made her realise that both her and Jesse were going to be separated the upcoming year.

Jesse was looking at her trying to understand "Rache? Babe? Are you ok? You look... I don't know... confused?"

Rachel looked up to Jesse, and she gave him a hug and a deep kiss like it was the last time she would ever see him. "I was thinking, when all this is over, we're going to be studying in different states, what's going to happen with us? How are we going to end up? I.. I love you Jesse..."

"Baby, don't worry we still have the rest of the summer to figure this out. We're gonna be fine! And by the way, there's something I haven't told you. If I get accepted in Berkeley I have to take a 2 month summer course before the semester begins. I don't know what for but... Anyway, we'll see"

Rachel was worried and she couldn't hide it at that moment she could figure out that her relationship with Jesse would not have a future. She couldn't think with a clear mind but she knew what she would be doing for the flight home.

Three hours later and everyone was back at the hotel collecting their things and getting on the bus to the airport.

When they got to the airport, Shelby and Will checked them all in, and they spread in the airport to shop souvenirs and other things but Rachel was the only one who was sitting at the gate waiting for the others. She had a millions running through her mind. 20 minutes later Shelby came along with Beth and sat next to her.

"Rachel, are you ok? You've been a bit moody since we left the hotel. What's wrong? did anything happen with Jesse honey?"

"Well... Not at the moment" What she said was a bit sarcastic and Shelby understood that and she grinned.

"Come on... Tell me what's wrong. I'm sure there's a solutions for it"

"Umm, Jesse got an interview with Berkeley and he's probably going for a scholarship there and if he gets the scholarship he'll have to take a two month course before the semester starts on September so he'll be actually away for most of the summer holidays. I know I make long term plans, I mean I may not even be dating Jesse until September, but what if I do? I feel like there will be a dead end on this relationship, and instead of getting hurt again either with a break up or an infinite goodbye, I'd rather end things up before everything happens."

Rachel's maturity and determination astounded Shelby. She was watching Rachel with eyes wide open in surprise.

"Rach, baby, I was wrong, I don't have a solution for this, but I have some advice for sure. All these things you just told me, you have to go and tell them to Jesse. You have to talk this through, it may end up good or bad but in any case, you can't let him leave without telling him these things"

Suddenly a call from the airport speakers came up, it was the boarding call for their flight. Rachel gathered her stuff, a backpack and tow duffle bags and she walked to the gate for the routine check and she walked to the airplane. As soon as she got in the plane the attendants showed her her seat - 31A- and she put her things on the storage department above her seat, sat on her place and waited whoever was sitting next to her.

Five minutes later and the tall figure of Cory appears in the rear of the plane, a bit confused as to where he was sitting and frustrated for having to carry a bunch of things. He was showed on of the attendants his ticket telling her that its 31B, she showed him to his seat and to his surprise, he was sitting next to Rachel.
