Noah sat in Glee rehearsal, watching Rachel flirt with Finn. A few weeks had passed since they're break up and he actually really missed her. It was weird, this new feeling of longing. With Quinn it was different, she wasn't in his thoughts all the time or in his dreams. He knew that he wanted Rachel back.
"Anyone have a song they'd like to share? An idea?" Mr. Schue looked around at the group, "Come on…"
An idea struck him, "Sure. I got one. A little tribute to the boy band era." He picked up the acoustic guitar.
"Go right on ahead."
He knew that he was just pulling the same stunt as he did when he sang "Sweet Caroline", but this time he actually meant the words that were coming out of his mouth, "There's a thousand words that I could say
To make you come home
Oh, seems so long ago you walked away
Left me alone
I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange
and maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change
Was it something I said
To make you turn away?
To make you walk out and leave me cold." He grimaced when Rachel nodded, "If I could just find a way
To make it so that you were right here
But right now.." Grinning, Kurt and Artie joined in as back up, "I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains.."
"You're…"
"Gone…"
"You're…"
"Gone.."
"Baby you're…"
"Gone."
"Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're…"
"Gone."
"You're…"
"Gone."
"You're…" Noah sighed and looked at an emotionless Rachel, "I don't want to make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone
But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?
Time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you
and maybe I could change my every day
But baby I don't want to ."
He got the honor of back up vocals again, " So I'll just hang around
and find some things to do."
"To take my mind off missing you
and I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do
Yeah.…"
"I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I Drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains…"
"You're…"
"Gone.."
"You're"
"Gone."
"You're…"
"Gone."
"You're…"
"Gone."
"You're…"
"Gone."
"You're... Oh what'll I do
If I can't be with you
Tell me where will I turn to
Baby where will I be
Now that we are apart
Am I still in your heart?
Baby why don't you see?
That I need you here with me
Oohhh…"
"I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
Been sitting here"
"Sitting here!"
"Can't get you off my mind."
"Can't get you off of my mind."
"I've tried my best to be a man and be strong."
"My best to be a man."
"I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face."
"Wishing I could touch your face."
"But the truth remains."
"You're…"
"Gone."
"You're… "
"Gone."
"You're…"
"Gone."
"You're…
"Gone."
"Gone."
"You're"
"Gone.."
"But the truth remains
You're.…" Noah played a couple of chords as the song ended. He smirked, "So? What do you think?"
No one spoke for they all were looking at Rachel. She was blushing furiously and was staring at the ground.
Will coughed, "That was really good, Puck. Kurt and Artie, very nice vocals as well."
"Thanks." Kurt grinned and turned his attention to the brunette, "Do it, Rachel. We all know you want to."
She nodded and stood. Stepping up to Noah, she slapped him, "You are a jerk! How dare you pull this in front of everyone!"
"Rachel…" Noah's shocked expression mirrored everyone else's, "I wasn't trying to-"
"Will you let me finish? Noah Puckerman, that was out of line. But seeing as how you unfairly used my favorite song from my middle school days…" Rachel threw her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his.
Kurt cheered and Finn sulked. Again, Will coughed, "Um… Guys? Can we practice now? You can do that later and far away from here."
Noah smirked and pulled away, "It's high school, Mr. Schue. Get used to it." He kissed her again as Mercedes started "Hate on Me".
