A/N: So thanks for checking out my story! I personally, am in love with Puck and I love Puck & Rachel together so I decided to write a Puckleberry fanfic! Anyway, enough with the boring stuff, here you go!


~*~Prologue~*~

Rachel - POV

I was struggling to breathe.

Finn grabbed my arm and pulled me back, with tears streaming down his broken down face.

'Please... don't leave me.'

I was crying too. My heart was pounding an alarming rate. He was making this too hard for me. How was I supposed to leave when he was guilt tripping me into stay? Finn never cried, not even when his mother died the day after graduation. Not even the day that he found out that Quinn's baby wasn't his. Never.

'This was never meant to work out,' I whispered, pulling my arm out of Finn's grasp. 'You have to understand, Finn.'

Finn looked right into my eyes and slowly let go of my arm.

'I love you Rachel. Please.'

I turned around and walked right out the door.

Puck-POV

I stubbed my cigarette out on the pavement and stood up, just as I was hounded by a group of fan girls shoving photoshopped pictures of myself into my face.

'Please, girls, I have to get inside.'

Their disappointed faces made me feel guilty. Sure, I had the appearance of a rock star who slept around did whatever the fuck he wanted, but I hated letting people down. I wanted them to like me.

I strode past the girls and walked into the back door of the stadium I was about to play in, in front of 100,000 screaming fans and their bored boyfriends. My life had changed dramatically in the last three years. My new found fame after competing with Glee through my senior year had resulted in an agent approaching me, offering me a record deal which had been the big break I had been hoping for. Sure, I had hoped for a big break in football, but after being thrown off the team for smoking weed behind the school gym, Glee was all I had. I became an outcast once I was offered that record deal. Quinn suddenly had the urge to tell Finn that he was not the father of her baby, and so in six seconds, I lost my best friend, my future and my girlfriend.

Rachel.

I loved her more than anything. She made me feel like I could do anything; like I could be anything. She made me feel so lucky to even have her in my life. Then she left me. I had nothing left, so I began smoking, skipping school and my grades slipped. The only thing I cared about in life was Glee and even then it was painful, because I had to see Rachel fawning over Finn ever chance I got.

I always wondered whether she knew she'd made a mistake; picking Finn over me when it came to deciding. I thought about it every single day of my fucking life.

And here I am, three years later, standing backstage of my own concert, listening to the chants of a screaming crowd waiting for me to come on stage and work my magic.

I stepped up to the microphone and coughed nervously. The crowd went silent.

'Hi. Thanks for coming out tonight. This first song's called Sweet Caroline.'
