When school was over... I invited Quinn to my house.
"So Quinn how's everything?" I asked as she smiled.
"Everything is going so well" Quinn said as we both walked to my room.
"What's this?" Quinn asked as my eyes started to tear.
"That's the ring Finn gave to me... I keep it next to the picture of both of us" I said as I smiled and Quinn came up to me and hugged me tight.
"I just want you to know Rachel, I'll always be here for you if you need anything" Quinn said as I smiled and nodded.
"Girls I'm making dinner, if you want, can you please help me."Shelby begged as we nodded and went to the kitchen.
~>~ when we were done making dinner ,will came and we all sat down to eat.
-"that was awesome ms.C " said Quinn as she smiled at Shelby .
"Hey, thank you guys for helping me" said Shelby as she smiled and both Quinn and I.
"You're welcome' said Quinn and I said the same.
----Quinn left a few hours later and Idina and I cleaned the dishes.
"So how do you feel" Shelby asked me and I smiled.
"Happy...." I said as I looked down.
"Good, that's all I want you to be." Shelby said as she kissed me on the forehead and turned off the sink.
"I'm getting a call, from Mercedes..." I said as I tilted my head .
M- Hey Rachel,something to tell you ...but I'm telling you tomorrow since you go to school to help Mr. Schue and you're Mom."
R- Hi, yea sure ... I wasn't even gonna go tomorrow but okay I guess I'll go😂... "
M-"bye see you tomorrow" she said as she laughed.
R- bye
I hung the phone up and looked at Shelby confused.
"What happened?" Shelby asked as I shrugged .
"I don't know, Mercedes wants to tell me something tomorrow" I said as Shelby raised an eye brow.
I got up and walked to my room as Shelby walked to will.
I sat down on my bed and slowly laid down and went to sleep.
--------Next day------
Will, Shelby and I got ready and drove to Mckendly High.
We all walked to the glee club as Mercedes comes to me.
"Guess what I got you!" Mercedes said in excitement.
"Ummmm"I hum as Mercedes smiled.
"I GOT YOU AN AUDITION TO A BROADWAY SHOW CALLED JANE AUSTEN SINGS" Mercedes said in excitement as we both jumped up .
"Oh my god thank you so much Mercedes"I said as I gave her a hug.
End of the day.
"Mercedes I just got a call from NYADA.... They said that she's giving me another chance... She said I can join if I want to... Whenever I want" I said as I looked down. "I don't know which one to pick now" I said as I looked down.
"Pick collage" said Sam as he walks closer to me.
"But I ----" I said as Sam cuts me off .
"Trust me... I mean the people that didn't go to collage aren't even that famous " said Sam as I laughed.
"There are so many famous people that didn't go to collage... And they are still famous" I said as Sam looked down.
"But Rachel----" I cut Sam off.
"I'm picking the audition " I said as I got up.
"When is it?" I asked as Mercedes smiled .
"This Friday "Mercedes said. "Oh and ... Everyone helped to get you this" she said as she took a plain ticket out.
"Thank you so much" I said as I gave Mercedes and Sam a hug.
"Oh I have to go" I said as I waved goodbye ."thank you so much guys!! I love you!!!"
I went in the car as will started to drive.
"So what did you tell you?" Shelby asked as I smiled.
"You didn't hear what she said.. She yelled it in class" I said as Shelby laughed." She said she got me an audition for a new Broadway show ...this Friday"
Shelby smiled and said "that is amazing Rachel"
"Mom why don't you audtion" I said as Shelby laughed.
"No way I'm not auditioning... I failed to many times"said Shelby as I smiled.
--------------------------FRIDAY------
When the glee club left the room me and Mercedes were the only ones there.
"Are you ready" Mercedes asked as I looked down .
"No" I said as I started to cry.
"Rachel you can do this trust me"
"I'm to scared .... Mercedes i lost funny girl, that's so Rachel, I don't even think I'm gonna even get the part" I cried as Mercedes rubbed my back.
"You know what I can't deal with this anymore... Rachel stand up take a deep breath ... You know what to say.."Mercedes said as I smiled."Are you ready"
"Yes" I said as I stuttered.
"You're at the theatre, you're called on stage 1..2..3" Mercedes said as I took a deep breath.
"Hi I'm Rachel Berry and I'll be singing Promises Promises by Burt Bacharach"
"Promises, promises
I'm all through with promises, promises now
I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out
If I shout, remember I feel free
Now I can look at myself and be proud
I'm laughing out loud"
----------I sang as i waved goodbye to Mercedes . And left the school."Oh, promises, promises
This is where those promises, promises end
I don't pretend that what was wrong can be right
Every night I'll sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heart"
---------I went on the train and in a few hours it was my stop. I walked to the theater ."Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises, take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, loveEvery night I sleep now, no more lies
Things that I promised myself fell apart
But I found my heartOh, promises, their kind of promises can just destroy a life
Oh, promises, those kind of promises take all the joy from life
Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes, love" when the music began to fade away I here the judges clapping.
"That was amazing Ms. Rachel Berry we'll keep in touch." One of the guys said as I smiled and walked out.
---- I went back to Ohio and told everyone the news... But I still felt undecided...I'm want to go to collage so badly.
I was halfway home.. Someone stopped me Jesse.
"Oh hi Jesse what are you doing here" I asked as I gave him a hug.
"To see you." Jesse said with a smile as I blushed.
"So I heard you auditioned for a Broadway show" Jesse said as I tilted my head.
"Yea who told you?" I asked as I continued walking.
"Well i don't know... Probably because I'm the male lead and also the DIRECTER " Jesse said as I smiled.
"Oh my goodness really " I said surprised as he nodded.
"But then I heard that you wanted to go back to NYADA"Jesse said as he nodded his head no."Come on don't you want to be with me... I would love to have Rachel Berry as my lovely lady in the show.. I mean I would love to be with her in every show "
I smiled and looked down "it's just so hard to decide " I said as he chuckled .
"hurry up and decide... I'm waiting for you Rachel " Jesse said as he kissed me... It was a really long kiss .
I pushed away and opened my eyes as Jesse and I smile.
"I love you Rachel " Jesse said as he walked away. "Call me when you have decided"
I smirked and kept on walking as I finally got home and knocked on the door. Shelby opens he door and smiles.
Jesse texts me and said " did you decide yet" I smiled and then looked back at Shelby and hugged her. Will run to us and joins in.
I let go of the hug and texted Jesse back." I've decided... I'm going to be with you"
"Is that Jesse you're texting " asked Will as I smiled and walked to my room.
