Over Night

Chapter One

The Start

She watches them from her seat, out of the corner of her eye with envy. She had that. She even had that with him. She had love, with him. That was until that fall.

Finn was her's and she loved him with all her heart, excepting all his flaws and everything else. And she had her best friend alongside her, Quinn. The two never even looked at each other with the intention of love or even lust for that matter. He didn't give her any extra attention or second glances. But suddenly over night Finn had an attraction to Quinn with just a glance at her.

Rachel slowly became Finn's second priority with Quinn becoming his first. Not only did he ditch Rachel but also football, glee club, student body president, and everything else that boy was involved with. Finn's straight A grades slipped to B's and so on, finally settling with C's. Friends tried to take action, teacher's attempted to set him straight but all failed at trying to get him back.

Quinn never officially talked to Finn about his future or what was at stake if he continued to act the way he did, they all knew that Quinn knew something that the rest didn't. After Quinn declined politely to Finn about whatever feelings he had, she just opened her arms to Finn and her heart.

Not long after Finn departed from Glee Club, Blaine Anderson followed him in the same way. No one really knew what Finn did when he wasn't at school or with his beloved Quinn but their friends saw the two walking around in shorts and sometimes a shirt on. Both had the same snarl on their face when patrolling around Lima in their basketball shirt and tank top. After a while they just thought nothing of it and moved on with their lives.

Rachel on the other hand was still stuck in the past, but she tried to move on from Finn. She had dated Jesse St. James in hopes that he would at least district herself from Finn. When she did Rachel felt that Finn pulled her back. And so here she is watching Finn from the back of the class with spiteful eyes at the happy couple.

The bell rang and Rachel hadn't noticed until Finn and Quinn stood from their seat. Gathering her things slowly she made her way out of the classroom and down the hall. The hallway cleared as the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the next class. By the time Rachel had arrived at her locker the hall way empty and quiet.

"Hey." Someone called from behind her.

Rachel jumped at the sound, but relaxed when she saw it was just Santana. "God San, you scared me," she spoke as she clutched her chest where her heart was.

The other girl laughed quietly as she leaned against the lockers and watched Rachel closely. "How you doing girl?" she asked seriously.

Rachel by now had started stuffing her art supplies in her bag for her class. "Fine," she stated with confidence.

If Santana wasn't the Jewish girl's close friend she would have believed her but Santana sensed the doubt in her voice. "Bullshit Berry." Santana closed Rachel's locker door and followed behind her. "Rach it's been about a year since the incident, isn't time you moved on?"

Rachel turned at her heel at the sentence. "I've tried!" she lashed out. "But every time I try to move on I feel like he sucks me back in!" Rachel snapped and held her head in her hands. "And it makes it worse that I have about every class with one of them! They don't make it much easier on me. Every single minute of every hour they are staring at each other with doe-filled eyes!" She lowered her head in shame that she hadn't yet moved on from Finn. At last Rachel had enough courage to look up at Santana after a moment.

Santana's body was trembling as she clenched her binder in her hands. Rachel noticed that she had a thin layer of sweat forming on her forehead. A low rumble was heard from Santana's chest as Rachel stood in front of her.

"San? Are you alright?" Rachel questioned while placing her hand upon Santana's forehead. "You're burning up Santana!"

The Latina started to finally breath as she blinked a couple times at what had just happened. "I'm sorry Rach, I'll see you tomorrow," Santana rushed out as she flew past Rachel, leaving a gust of warm air in Rachel's face.

After Santana left Rachel in the hallway with millions of questions, Rachel went to class. The way she trembling and the sweat she had formed played back and forth in Rachel's head.

By lunch Finn was gone and so was his little gang of followers. Not only had Blaine accompanied Finn so did two others: Mike Chang and Matt Rutherford. All four were no where to be seen meaning Rachel would have a half decent rest of the day.

Glee rolled around and Rachel took her seat beside Tina. Mr. Schue started talking about new songs and how to add your own edge to it but it just fueled Rachel to think about a certain edgy Latina. The lecture was finished and Rachel took her belongings and exited the building.

Painfully the next day went by with the Latina girl no where. Next day? No show. Next day after that? No bitch cheerleader. End of the week? Nothing. The weekend? Coincidentally busy, all weekend.

Monday came in an instant. Rachel turned the corner to the court yard only to get the air knocked out of her. There on the brick steps, sat Santana Lopez with Finn and the rest of his boys. Quinn comfortably between Finn's legs with a smile of sunshine.

As if Rachel's gasp could have been heard, everyone (except Quinn) turned to see a distraught Rachel on the verge of tears. She backed up and hit something from behind her.

"Watch it Berry!" A very annoyed Noah Puckerman said from his seat at the Jock table. This was once Rachel's table with Finn by her side. Now it only seated the jerks of the football team.

"S-sorry, Noah," she stumbled out.

Puck looked to what disturbed Rachel so much to get five hard stares back at him. "Finn and his wanna be police?" Puck snorted as he looked up to Rachel. "I thought you would have been long over Finny boy" Puck said. He tried not to act like he didn't care but Rachel could see that he missed his best friend. Puck played with his breakfast as he glanced over to his ex-best friend and back to his food.

"You miss him," Rachel declared with a smile playing on her lips.

Puck grunted with humor and gave another glimpse at the guy he used to call best friend. "Finn? Hell no. Once he left my life I didn't have to worry about anybody telling me Don't do something you'll regret Puckerman, You shouldn't do that to Mr. Willis's yard Puckerman, Don't do anything that will upset your mother Puck, Think about the team Puckerman, blah blah Puckerman," Noah said in a mocking Finn voice. "Ha! Good riddance!" He took his plastic spork and stabbed his pancakes. His brother and team mates gave him a curious look but Noah glared at them all.

"You miss him, admit it, Puckerman," Rachel whispered as she departed from the court yard.

"What do you know about admitting Berry?"

The day past with little info on what had happen to Santana. Did she hit her head and forget that the five of them were awful? Rachel came up with lots of theory's but none seemed logical enough. There was no Glee on Monday, deepening Rachel into a even darker place.

Tuesday brought new light for Rachel, or she thought. Not only had Santana joined the police squad but Tina sat happily next to Mike Chang. Her only friend since Santana's departure. She didn't hold back the tears that were forming in her eyes she turned on her heel and let the tears fall freely. Rounding the corner that lead to the parking lot she hit something hard and fell to the floor.

"Damn Berry, you alright? You hit the floor pretty hard?" Puck bent over and pulled Rachel to her feet.

"I'm fine," she said.

Puck nodded unconvinced as he watched Rachel. "You've been crying lately, Berry?" he tilted his head to Rachel.

"N-no." she stammered out.

Puck kept quiet for a minute and let Rachel catch her breath before he continued. "I saw Tina joined Quinn, taking the place of Mike's cheerleader," Puck finished.

Rachel nodded furiously as she ran into Puck, with her eyes pouring out tears. "Santana and now Tina? What are they doing?" she mumbled.

Puck had nothing so he gave a mere shrug as an answer. "They only now their own secrets, Rae."

She caught her breath as she heard him use the nickname he gave her. "Take me home, please? I can't stay here, not with them watching my every move," she spoke softly as she tamed her tears.

Puck didn't have nothing to say. "Alright," he picked up her bag from the floor slipped it on his shoulder as he guided Rachel out to his truck.

Here she lay with Puck's arms wrapped around her fragile structure. At any moment she could break down but Puck's arms was solidly protecting her from another.

"You won't join them, right?" Rachel spoke for the first time since leaving the school.

Puck was taken back at the question. "No, I could never walk around town in just my shorts and tank top, I'm too damn sexy for that. I would make some ladies pass out from all my hotness," Puck chuckled at his own joke.

Rachel snickered to herself at Puck's wit. She missed this. She missed Noah. She missed having Noah as her friend. When she was with Finn, Puck was always with them but not in an annoying third wheel kind of way but in three friends hanging out kind of way. Once Finn turned strict man he turned from the two and ran into Quinn's arms. Both didn't understand, Rachel never even thought of the two in that way and Puck always heard Finn complaining about Quinn hanging onto Rachel too much.

He smiles at her when she pasts and in the hall. She glances back as he walks past with his friends. He stops by after school to talk and laugh and slowly Rachel feels herself breathing in the fresh air. She tries not to think about the little gang as much and finds herself succeeding.

It's been two weeks since the incident in the hallway with Noah and Rachel begins to cut the tether that connects her to Finn. Today Rachel's going to the county carnival with Noah in her tow.

"Come along Noah," Rachel laughed as she took Puck's hand and dragged him out of his truck. "I want to get in line for the Ferris wheel before it gets dark so I can watch the sunset!" Rachel managed to tug Puck to the ticket booth where he purchased the wristband for the both of them for endless rides.

The two got in line and waited. When they got their seat on the ride Rachel and Puck had a large cup of fresh squeezed lemon aid in hand.

"It's been forever since I've been on this ride," Rachel sighed, leaning into Puck.

"Yup, high school can be a bitch." Puck expressed.

From the top of the Ferris wheel they could see everything including the lights of Lima. By the whack-it machine's were Finn's crew and their personal cheerleaders by their sides. Rachel watched the way Quinn laughed as Finn hit the little gophers that were popping up from the holes. They were happy, the two of them, she saw that. Why couldn't she be happy?

"Hey," Puck nudged Rachel in the shoulder, bringing her out of her thinking. Rachel looked up to Puck. "We're suppose to be having fun right now not depressing over Finn and his flock." He unstrapped himself and Rachel when the ride stopped at the bottom. He took her hand in his and guided her to the games. She knew that he knew that she sucked at games. "Here, I'll win you a prize or shit," Puck grumbled as Rachel raised her eyebrows at the game.

Rachel stood next to Puck as he payed for his three balls. "Don't hurt yourself Noah," Rachel teased.

Noah just rolled his eyes at her. "Shut it Berry."

After half his money was gone Puck had finally won Rachel a prize. A little stuffed wolf.

"Jesus what does it take to get one of those big ass lions?" Puck huffed out to the individual handling the game.

"It's fine Noah," Rachel laughed as she held her wolf in hand. "Come on now," she grabbed his arms and dragged him from the game booth. "You spent an hour trying to win that lion, lets just get something to eat now," she said leading Puck to the food stands.

Rachel decided on Nacho's while Puck got curly fries, a hotdog, and another drink. Rachel's nacho's ended in the trash when Puck finished his meal. Sipping the last of his soda he chucked it into the trash along with Rachel's nacho's.

"Let's go watch some kids throw-up behind the Whirl-Wind!" Puck eagerly said and pushed Rachel to the other side of the fair. "Hold up, let me go take a whiz. He stopped Rachel and headed over to the port o' potty.

"I told you not to buy that drink!" Rachel called out to Puck. She waited by the game booths and watched the teenagers and kids walking around.

"Hell yeah!" Someone hollered out beside Rachel. She twisted to the side of the noise and saw a blond headed boy with his arms in the air. "Pay up Ryder!" he laughed out.

"I fucking swear Evans." The other guy with the same blond hair shook his head and dug out his wallet from his back pocket. "Here you go, your fucking twenty dollars.

The worker running the game picked up the white and black tiger and dropped it in front of the two. "Here is your prize."

Rachel watched the two friends with her own prize in her purse. The tiger Noah had tried to win for her was in the blonds hands. He grinned while stuffing the money he earned in his side pocket, sending a glance at Rachel. The blonde picked up the tiger, turning to Rachel.

"Hey," he greeted.

"Hi," she breathed out.

"I'm Sam, Sam Evans." Sam extended his hand to Rachel.

Rachel took his hand in hers finally shaking it. "I'm Rachel Berry." She said with a smile.

"That's Ryder Lynn, a friend." Sam pointed to the other blond behind him.

"Hello." Ryder waved.

"Hi."

Sam presented the tiger towards Rachel. "Here." He pushed the tiger in Rachel's arms. "I think carrying around this stuffed animal isn't that manly."

Rachel sent a questioning look towards Sam. "Are you sure? You won this."

"Nah it's okay. I just wanted to prove to Ryder that I could win that thing."

She casted a glance at the tiger and brought her eyes back to Sam. "Thank you Sam."

"We're going diner back into town to get some drinks you want to come?" Sam invited.

Rachel beamed and opened her mouth to answer his proposal.

"Ready to go Rae," Puck said from behind Rachel.

She looked behind her shoulders to meet Puck's eyes. "Noah."

"Who's your friends?" he questioned.

"I'm Sam."

"Noah Puckerman, Puck." He turned to Rachel, his eyes landing on the tiger. "Where'd you get that?"

"Sam won it!" Rachel exclaimed with a smile.

Puck slumped his shoulders and placed a scowl on his face. "Sammy boy?" Puck inquired.

Sam leaned his weight on his right leg placing his hands into his sweatshirts pocket. He raised an eyebrow at Puck's remark.

"Didn't see you as the baseball type, more of a synchronizing swimming kind of guy to me," Puck smirked.

Ryder tensed beside Sam, giving him a brief look. "He's captain of the baseball team and football," Ryder bragged out.

Puck just raised an eyebrow in response. "That true Samm-

"Noah!" Rachel said alarmed. She took hold of Noah's bicep and squeezed it as she yanked him along. "I'm sorry Sam." Rachel quickly said goodbyes and thanked Sam for the tiger.

"What's wrong with you Puckerman?" Rachel demanded after pulling him to a clearing.

"Those two didn't feel right, Rachel. Off."

Rachel glared at him as her reaction.

"Oh come on!" Puck shouted with amusement. "That blond was totally eye fucking you, Berry."

Rachel tugged on her tiger and marched right up to Puck. "So what if he did! Maybe I want to be desired once! Perhaps I want to be loved!"

"Rachel you and I both know that this involves Finn."

"How dare you!" Rachel retorted. "You're going apologizing to me and Sam-

"The hell I am!" Puck said stunned. "I'm not apologizing to those blondies!"

Rachel backed from Puck still clutching to her tiger and wolf she had received. "Well have a nice trip home by yourself Puckerman!" Rachel waved a cheeky goodbye and turned on her heel. "Oh!" she rotated to Puck. "Take your damn wolf too!" she threw the stuffed animal at him and stalked away.

"Rachel!" he shouted. "I'm your ride home!"

"I'll ask Sam for one!" she called behind her before entering the crowd of people.

Puck grasped the little wolf and held it tight as he chased after Rachel. First place he checked was the game booths and caught the three of them walking towards the parking lot. By the time Puck reached the parking lot he saw her hoist herself into Sam's big jeep.

"Rachel!" he yelled running to the parking spot.

Too late. The jeep backed out briskly and drove forward.

"Fucking-who does that girl think she is-mother fucker-she's dead-stupid tiger!"

His hands were forming fists at his sides, ready to punch anyone who bothered him. People were staring now at him as his fists shook with anger.

"Calm down Puckerman," Puck whispered to himself. "Just need time to breathe." He crammed the wolf into his jacket pocket and departed from the carnival.

"Puckerman!" someone called from behind him.

Noah peeked from the corner of his eyes and ignored the person. Karofsky. Major dick alert. He played for Carmel, player for Sam's football team.

"Yo, Puck!" Karofsky chuckled out. He was a couple feet behind Puck but he could already smell the liquor on him.

"Not now Karofsky!" Puck spitted out.

"Come on man I just saw you and your girlfriend arguing, thought you might need some-" he shook the bottle that was covered in the brown paper bag.

"She's not my girlfriend!" Puck shot back.

Karofsky raised his hand in innocence. "Sorry, I meant your bitch-

"What did you say?!" Puck tackled Karofsky to the floor with his forearm against his neck. "Huh!" he pressed it harder against him.

"Nothin- Hey you alright man? You're shaking bad?"

Puck's eyes were going blurry with tints of red clouding over. "Sh-shut up!" he said. Puck felt every and heard every sound being said. The sound of the laughter, the screams of children, Karofsky's breathing, and his very loud heart beat in his chest. "I-uh" Puck shot up from Karofsky feeling dizzy and dehydrated. "Fuck" he drew out as he held his head. This was 100 times worse then a hangover. "I gotta g-go." Puck flew forward as he made his way to the trees.

Karofsky shot up from the ground, shaking off the leaves and dirt off. He lifted his head up to be greeted with five teenagers.

"Thanks man," the tallest of the group said.

The line backer shook his head. "No problem Finn." Karofsky snatched the crisp hundred bill out of Finn's fingers.

"Why'd you want him to phase?"

"None of your business. Your part is done, now leave." Finn said sternly.

Karofsky shook it off and motioned his boys over. "Easiest part is done. Hardest is for you." He stated. "Gonna take a lot to control that big boy."

"How did you get him to transition so fast?" The other one said beside Finn.

Karofsky stopped and shrugged to him. "I think he already was in changeover I was just the cherry on top. He was bickering with this one girl before I approached him." Karofsky nodded to the five and exited the conversation with his friends.

"Hey!"

The five turned around to Karofsky.

"This means nothing. When we come face to face again, you'll now what I'll do. Especially if you know who finds out."

"You're heard." Finn nodded stiffly.

"What now?" another member of pack asked.

Finn stared into the trees with a blank face. "We wait," he said as a horrific yell entered the night sky. Another moment went by before a ear piercing howl was heard.

Finn looked up from the ground. "We have our alpha boys."

So this is a new story... yeah.

If you didn't guess, they're wolves! Yup :)
