A/N: One shot of no particular season but with established Puck and Rachel relationship.
A/N: I don't own Glee or Demi Lovato's song Catch Me.
A/N: All mistakes are mine.

Rachel was pulling away from Puck. He could feel it. There was a lot of tell-tale signs like how when he put his arm around her shoulders she didn't lean into him and take a deep breath. Or how when he played guitar she didn't smile at him all dreamy and shit… shut up he just knew these things. This did not mean that he was whipped or even fucking close to it. He just knew his girl, okay? Puck was getting worried; they'd been dating for 5 months now. After the gigantic explosion that was Finchel (shitty nickname, shitty relationship). Rachel had legit moped for 3 months until the glee club staged an intervention (he didn't blame them because a quiet Rachel Berry? Scary as fuck). Then she began to become Crazy berry again, she was like a drill sergeant when she realized everyone had been slacking while she was MIA but everyone was just happy that she had that spark in her again. After that they'd been paired together for some assignment and everything kinda grew from there. So Rachel pulling away? Totally unexpected now he was on a mission to find out why. He cornered Santana first since she was one of Rachel's closest friends (how that shit happened he'll never know, one day they were trying to rip each other's hair out and the next they come to school with their hands linked but his ex and his girlfriend, yeah totally freaked him out).
"Look Puckerman you're gonna have to work it out yourself okay? Rachel trusts me and shit" With that Santana flounced away her cheerios uniform flapping around. Puck scratched his head and he didn't know what to do next he knew Rachel wouldn't trust anyone but Santana with her secret so now he was lost. Did she want to break up with him? Did she still have feelings for Finn? He was lost so he went to the auditorium to think a little when he saw Rachel walk in. she was oblivious to him being there and she sat at the piano and began to sing.
Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick
But make it last
So i can see how badly this will hurt me
When you say good bye
WTF She thought he was going to leave her? Was that why? He was still unsure as she carried on singing.
Keep it sweet But you're so hypnotizing
Keep it slow
Let the future pass
And don't let go
But tonight i could fall to soon under this beautiful moonlight
You got me laughing while i sing
You got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unravelling
And your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me
She was falling for him but then why wouldn't she tell him. Stupid girls and there stupid cryptic song messages.
See this heart But you're so hypnotizing So now you see
Won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you'll do
my stomach screams just when I look at you
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unravelling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me
Why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without a care
But here i go
It's what i feel
and for the first time in my life i know it's real
He understood Rachel was scared. She was scared of what she feeling and he partly didn't blame her after how badly Finn had screwed her up but another part just wished she would talk to him. Look Noah Puckerman wanting to talk about feelings, he felt like he should just get a tattoo with WHIPPED written on it on his forehead.
But you're so hypnotizing And if this is love
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've get me smiling in my sleep
And i can see this unravelling
And your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
Please don't break me
I'm giving up
So just catch me
He'll never break her he promises as he sees her on the stage looking so fragile and scared because he just realized something. He loves her and he'll always be there to catch her. Then Rachel realizes he was standing there "Oh Noah I didn't realize you were there I have to explain to you, I need to tell you something…" He puts a finger to her lips.
"Rachel I love you and I know you're scared to love me back but I promise you I'm no Finn Hudson I'll never break your heart and I'll always catch you" Rachel looked up at him and she was practically glowing "Noah but that's what I wanted to tell you I trust you and I realize that I've been acting strange these last few days but I was so scared and I didn't know what to do and San told me I should just tell you but I couldn't…"
"Rachel just say it" Puck said.
"I love you too Noah and I know you'll always be there to catch me because I trust you with every fibre of my being" he leant down and gave her a long kiss.
THE END
