Sunday afternoon I was packing my school stuff at my mom's house to take to my dad's, when the doorbell rang. I let mom take it as I keep packing.

"Hey, beautiful" Jesse says hugging me from behind, and taking me by surprise.

"Hey!" I say turning around to give him a kiss. "I thought you were going to spend the day with your dad"

"I was" he says looking me with a thoughtful look. "But he told me something that I want to talk to you about" he says pulling me to sit on the edge of my bed.

"What did he say?" I say getting worried.

"He manage to transfer me back to Carmel" he says with a solemn face. "I start tomorrow"

"You're not going back to McKinley?" I ask sadly.

"No, I'm moving back to Akron" he says.

"But what about your mom? I mean, we knew he'll found a way, but..." I was saying not knowing what to do.

"She'll be staying with my aunt, but I have to move back with my Dad" he says standing up and walking towards my window sit.

"So, now what?" I ask walking towards him.

"Now, it's going to be as before, but I'm going back to Vocal Adrenaline" he says pulling me to him.

"So we are going to compete against each other" I say pointing out the obvious.

"Yeah..." he said supporting his forehead on mine.

"I was looking forward to sing with you at regionals" I say sadly.

"I know, me too..." he says.

"But now I have to beat you" I say trying to light out the mood.

"We'll see about that" he says laughing softly.

"I'm going to miss you" I say putting my head on his chest.

"Me too" he says pulling me closer.

Walking on the halls at McKinley without Jesse feels off. I mean I know that he was here only for a couple of months but still I was getting used to have him with me. And now he's back with Vocal Adrenaline and I have to compete against him. And let's be real, now that he's back with them, there's no way we can beat them. All I have left is pray for a miracle.

"Rachel" Lila says stopping in front of me in the halls making me stop walking.

"Lila?" I ask curious as to why she has that weird look on her face.

"Why did you have to tell Aunt Shelby that I was spying on her and Vocal Adrenaline?" she asks demanding.

"Because she had to know. Besides I don't keep things from her" I tell her.

"Right, well thanks to you I'm grounded" she says before walking away.

"What the hell?" I murmur to myself.

"Is it just me or does it feel like we have a real shot at regionals next month?" I hear Mercedes says as she turns the corner with Kurt, Tina and Artie.

"The Ohio show choir chat rooms have all been buzzing about how Vocal Adrenaline has lost his step" Artie says.

"I agree, the judges know all of their tricks, and now that we have Jesse, they've lost their best performer" Kurt says.
