Almost Lover
~ I never wanna see you unhappy
I thought you want the same for me ~
"There's…um… There's something I need to tell you."
"How could you do this to me?"
He really should have known. She really should have known.
But, why Puck? He was Puck for God's sake!
Rachel knew. She knew that would hurt him. After everything. He really thought she was different than that. He really thought that she wasn't actually the girl who sent someone to a crack house or cheated on her boyfriend with his sex-shark former best friend out of jealousy.
He lied to her for her own sake. Okay, maybe some of it was for his sake, but he tried to protect her from that pain just as much as, if not more than, he tried to protecte himself. The last thing he wanted was to see her suffer. But obviously the feeling wasn't mutual.
~ Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream ~
It was weird how the roles always switched. There was always one chasing after the other. One saying goodbye. He really wished it would just end; really wished they could just stay together forever. They'd make it through high school and even college. Eventually, they'd settle down and get married. After he he'd settled into whatever job he would end up choosing and she was on Broadway. Oh, he didn't forgive her, nor did he want to be her boyfriend. Well, he wanted to. It just hurt too much. So for now, goodbye. To her. To that dream.
~ Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do ~
He found himself shuffling through his iPod later that day. Glancing at a playlist that Rachel had made him, he found "Almost Lover." And of course it suited him well because Rachel had a song for everything.
It was true. They were almost lovers in a sense, seeing as they already loved each other and were on the road to, like, sex and stuff. But she meant so much more to him than that. She made him think hard, like he was right now. She comforted him through the rough times and really led him to take a stand, to be a leader.
She was his everything. He'd never been sure of anything in his life. He was just a dumb jock, a Lima loser. But with her, he knew that he was special because he loves her. That's right. Love not loved.
"Break a leg."
"I love you.
Reviews? Bad? Horrible? Atrocious?
This is my first, official fanfic that I've posted, but feel free to critique as much as you want.
I'm going to keep writing one-shots on moments during or after episodes until at least Glee comes back for the Super Bowl (That is, once my exams end).
Thanks,
