Us against the World
A/N1: I no I'm supposed to be working on my fantic I do I do I do...which by the way I've just updated...anyway I came up with this idea last night and I really want to write it before I forget it. I believe it's fresh and new to the puckleberry fan fiction site. Hope you all agree it's at 3 shot.
Part 1
"Finn can we talk in private"
Puck's ears perked up at Rachel's words lifting his eyes from cleaning out his locker he watched Rachel guide Finn into the choir room. His mind hoping she was about to do what he's been waiting for since they secret affair started.
Taking a deep breath he closed his eyes as he replayed the day it all began.
Flash back 1 month earlier
Rachel laid idly stomach first on her bed flipping through some music notes when a soft sound came from her bedroom window.
Standing up she hurried over to find Noah Pucker man outside her window tapping it gently.
"Noah what are you doing here at such late our" She asked pushing the window up and open for him to get in.
Noah climbed inside and stood in front her his face unreadable.
"I need to show something" he replied
Rachel pulled him over to her bed and motioned for him to sit down.
Puck reached into his pocket and handed Rachel a white envelope which she accepted gracefully
"Noah wha-"
"Just read it Rach" Puck interrupted her.
Sliding a letter from inside the envelope Rachel read it her eye brows rising the further she read
Dear Mrs Puckerman
We are extremely happy to announce that we have accepted you enrolment to Julliard.
Please note a follow up letter will be delivered with further details a week before school starts.
Mr Ryan Goldberg
Julliard Head Master.
Noah couldn't help the smile on his lips as Rachel looked up at him with sparkly tearful eyes
"Noah this is wonderful news ...but I don't understand why you would want me to see this" said to him.
Puck reached out and took her hand into his a soft smile played on his lips as Rachel looked quizzically into his eyes as if she was trying to find the answer to her question in them. She didn't have to wait long.
"I did it for you Rachel" he confessed his eyes never leaving hers waiting for to say something.
"I don't understand...why you would do this for me Noah"
Feeling the nerves pile up in his stomach Puck reached out and stroked Rachel's cheek her eye fluttered shut at his touch.
"You remember during that week we dated in softmore year" he asked softly
Rachel nodded her head in reply but still was unsure where Noah was going with this.
"I didn't choose Glee over football that day...I chose you Rachel" He whispered his fingers now tangling in her hair.
Rachel felt the heat rush through her body at the tender way he touch her and leaned closer to him. Their noses almost touching.
"Why?" she whispered back softly
The room when silent for a few seconds the only sound that could be heard was their breathing.
"Because I love you" Puck finally answered
Rachel opened her eyes in shock as a little gentle shriek escaped her lips. She couldn't seem to tear her eyes from his.
"I have done since the day I got slushied and you cleaned me up" he admitted.
"You were so sweet. So beautiful. It was like I was seeing you for the first time. You weren't just that musical freak with two dads...you were my angel"
Rachel choked out a little sob at his words as he pushed his other hand into the hair on the other side of her head cupping face.
"You've always believed me. Saw the good when everyone else saw the bad. Rachel when ever I'm with you make feel like I'm a better person...you make believe I can be the man I know you deserve. I Know I'm no Finn Hudson but I swear to you hear and now that I love you with all I have. I can't give you fancy cars or jewellery. I can't promise that I won't screw up once in a while but what I can promise...What I can give you is this" Puck went on as he moved one of his hands away from her face to place it over his heart.
"I needed to tell you this before graduation. Before you go off with Finn and I lose my chance"
Rachel leaned into his hand
"I have a confession to Noah" she admitted in a soft whispered.
"I don't love Finn. I haven't since you and I dated. I knew you were it for me when you sang Sweet Caroline to me"
Puck felt his heart race against his ribs as Rachel made her confession.
"I always thought you loved Quinn even when you dated Lauren. I didn't tell you because I couldn't risk being hurt. So I kept up appearances with Finn and when he kissed me in New York during Regional's I when I closed my eyes I thought of you...just you... only you"
Puck's throat caught on happy sob as he pulled Rachel's lips against his in passionate warm heated kiss.
"Be with me Rachel...Give us shot" he pleaded into the kiss
He felt Rachel nod her head as she kissed him back her tongue diving into his mouth.
"Ok..." she trailed off into the kiss."
End of Flash back
"Sup dude" Mike said enthusiastically from behind Puck pulling the boy from his thoughts.
"Yo...sup bro" he replied bumping fist's with his friend.
Mike noted the far off look cross Noah's face and nudged his shoulder
"Uh dude are you ok...it's just you look kinda weird" he asked
Puck nodded his before looking over his shoulder just in time to catch Finn storming out the choir room ...but what intrigued him most was the way Rachel walked out at his tail and smiled his way.
"Never better man" he said in replied to Mike's question.
...
THE BREAK UP
Finn waited until the door was shut before gripping Rachel's waist
"So was can we talk code for 'Finn let's sneak into the choir room and make out," he smiled down at her.
Rachel peeled his arms from around her waist and stepped away from him. This caused Finn to look at her with confuession and concern.
"Rachel is everything ok...?" he asked her as he tried to take her hand.
Rachel pulled away from him and shook her head as she removed her graduation cap.
"I can't do this anymore Finn. I can't lie to you" she began to sob.
Finn scrunched his nose up "Rach what are you talking...What are you lying about ...your scaring me" he ushered as a bad feeling in stomach rose.
"I don't love you Finn. I haven't for a very long time now...it's over" The small diva finally hurried out
"Rachel...please don't ...please don't this" The quarterback begged her as she reached around to unclasp her Finn chain.
Taking his hand in hers she placed the chain in his palm and closed his fingers over it "you should give this to the girl who trolley loves you" she whispered.
Finn let out a tearful sob and grabbed Rachel's hand
"Why now why are you leaving me?" he asked her his body shook in sadness
"Because I Love someone else and he loves me. Finn I've been seeing him for the past month. I made I love to him the night you drove Kurt home from Brittany's party a week ago. I'm so so sorry I cheated on you but I can't do this anymore... I can't pretend to love you when I've been in love with someone else for the last 2 and half years. You deserved better"
Finn felt anger rush though his blood "Who is he ...who did you screw behind my back...who is the asshole whole who stole your heart from ...tell me Rachel...Tell me who he is" he yelled
Rachel shook her head and looked away "I can't do that Finn...I'm sorry"
Finn shot her angry look "I never thought you could hurt me like this ... I never pegged you as the next Quinn Farbray!" he snarled turning around he yanked the door open and stormed out.
Rachel walked out on his tail. She spotted Puck talking to Mike.
The mow-hawked boy must have felt her starring because found her gaze.
Gently she smiled at him through tears her way of letting him know the deed was done.
