AN: It is time for Regionals. Will Sebastian and Rachel patch things up or is it permanent splitsville. I want to thank you all for supporting my story. It means so much. I almost deleted my story because of a nasty negative comment by one reader. I stopped myself because I honestly love this story and a lot of time and effort went into writing this story. This is an AU story. So even if you don't ship Smytheberry or any other pairing just remember it's just a story. Fictional. I don't own anything but the storyline. Happy reading!
No one Pov
Regionals, McKinley High
Rachel and the New Directions have been working hard the last few weeks preparing and rehearsing for Regionals. They had lost the previous year so Rachel and her fellow Glee clubbers wanted the win even more. The competition was being held at McKinley so it gives them home field advantage. It was Rachel's senior year and Nationals would be epic to win. We not only want to win but it is a must to keep the Glee club operating and not cut by Coach Sue Sylvester.
Rachel was also nervous because she hadn't spoken to Sebastian since the night that they split up. Rachel was currently in the choir room getting dressed. A beautiful black & gold dress. She looked in the mirror thinking "Hmmm for once we had decent outfits. I wonder if Sebastian would like it? Okay stop it, Berry. Focus focus. You and Smythe are history," she scolded herself. Her thoughts were interrupted by Blaine, who had walked into the choir room.
Blaine: You just keep lying to yourself, Rach. * he smirked *
Rachel: I don't know what you're talking about, Blaine.
Blaine: You can fool everyone, but you can't fool me. More importantly, you can't lie to your heart.
Rachel: I have to. If I want to be a team player, I have to sacrifice.
Blaine: Says who? You don't owe anyone anything. Kurt and the others mean well, but too blinded by hate to see who makes YOU happy. Sebastian maybe an ass, I can tell he makes you happy. And vice versa. He may have made a mistake, but at least he owned up to his mistakes . Don't let anyone destroy what you have.
Rachel: I don't know. Right now I just have to concentrate on Regionals. Everything else takes a backseat. I don't even know if he's here yet. I want to see him, but afraid at the same time.
Blaine: He is here with the Warblers getting ready. From what I heard from Nick is he may have something planned. For now let's just finish getting ready we have to go on soon.
Rachel:* hugs Blaine* Did I ever tell you how much I love you Blaine Anderson?
Blaine: I love you, too. Lets get going.
Rachel and Blaine walk out of the room, and spot a group of guys dressed in blazers in the hallway. She suddenly sees HIM....Sebastian...
Rachel and Sebastian lock eyes for a moment, weak smile filled with sadness and longing bit no words exchanged.
Blaine sees the glances, and turns to Rachel.
Blaine: Rach, are you okay?
Rachel: Hmm? Yes I'm okay. Lets get go before Kurt and Mr schue send out a search party for us.
Blaine: *sigh* let's go.
The pair walk past the Warblers, as Nick yells " Hey Blaine! Rach!"
Blaine: Hey guys, good luck! We can talk afterwards.
Rachel: Sebastian.
Sebastian: Hello Berry. You look beautiful.
Rachel: Thank you. Good luck. You will need it.
