Balancing Love ☞︎ A Jesse St. James fan fic

She Looks Like A Twelve Year Old In A Sixteen Year Olds Body

Jesse opens the auditorium door, holding it out open for me. I give him a tight-lipped smile before walking in. He leads me to a seat in the middle of the room. I wait for him to sit next to me when he starts getting up. I clutch onto his arm.

"What are you doing?" I whisper harshly. Jesse sends me a grin.

"Making an entrance."

I watch as he goes back up the stairs. It's only now that I realize Jesses ex singing rolling in the deep, and she sounds pretty good too. Suddenly Jesse cuts her off and I understand what he means by 'making an entrance'.

Jesse:
Finally,
I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

Jesse with The A.V. Club harmonizing:
See how I'll leave
With every piece of you,
Don't underestimate
The things that I will do,
There's a fire
Starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark

Jesse starts walking all down the steps of the auditorium.

The scars of your love
Remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
The scars of your love,
They leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling

He stops at the section before the stage. Ever so the drama queen. He quickly leaves his spot and joins his ex up on stage.

Jesse and Rachel (The A.V. Club):
We could have had it all, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep, (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

They sounded absolutely amazing. No wonder Jesse wanted to date her... They're both incredibly talented and Jesse if defiantly the type who loves a power couple.

Jesse with The A.V. Club harmonizing:
Throw your soul through every open door,

Jesse dramatically starts walking around the piano as his ex turns her back to him.

Rachel with The A.V. Club harmonizing:
Count your blessings to find what you look for,

Jesse with The A.V. Club harmonizing:
Turn my sorrow
Into treasured gold,

Rachel with The A.V. Club harmonizing:
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown,

Jesses rounded her and now the ex is getting up from her seat. It seems to be turning into some type of sing off? Who the hell are these people?

Jesse and Rachel (The A.V. Club):
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), Yeah, we could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), Yeah, it all, it all, it all

And you played and you played and you played
And you played it to the beat

They finished the song standing in front of each other. The silence was also pretty dramatic. Especially after the extra people in the auditorium left...

"It's good to see you again Rachel." Jesse says. Oh! So her names Rachel.

"Jesse... what are you doing here?" She asks in shock. Jesse goes to answer but instead leads Rachel up to where I'm sitting.

"You see, this is Madelaine. This is my friend, Madelaine." Jesse sputters out, holding his hand out to motion to me. Rachel sits and looks over to me, sending a polite smile.
