A/N:
I know I probably shouldn't be punishing myself like this and starting yet another fic on here!
But this one just came to me, again in a dream somewhat, and I had to write it out.
It's of course not finished and I probably won't be getting another chapter up for a while.
I just wanted to however get it out here!
So this is kind of a AU reality of Glee - there are still some things mentioned from canon, but it does involve a very different Rachel, or least a very different versions of her dad's and them not being the loving supportive ones that we have seen on the show. And there will be some heavy themes in the story - so if you do have a problem with issues such as mental health or mentions of it, please take this as a warning now.
This will be a Puck/Rachel fic for the most part, so all those of you who love Puckleberry in my other stories, will hopefully certainly love this one as well.
Therefore without further ado, I give you "Lost Girl" - and I should also mention as per usual that I do not own these characters I just choose to play with them for my pleasure and also yours; all rights belong to RM and co. (Believe me if I owned the rights to Glee, the show would have been a whole lot different, and maybe also better written!)
And you know as usual what to do at the end - review, fave/follow and even send me a PM. I always promise to answer them!
Love always, KJ xoxoxo
Rachel Berry ever since she remembered always had a dream.
That dream was to be on stage; singing, dancing and acting, hopefully taking Broadway by storm.
It however was not a dream, that was shared by her two dads, Hiram and Leroy Berry. The two men, who had Rachel via surrogacy with a woman that Rachel, never knew the identity of, didn't have the same passion for the stage as Rachel did. Instead wishing that their daughter was more interested in becoming a doctor or a lawyer, and not something that they saw as a frivolous often unemployed occupation of actress and singer.
The desire for Rachel wanting to be on stage, got more and more apparent over the summer before she headed into the seventh grade and junior high.
All through the summer, she would watch musicals, practice her singing and also to a degree dancing, trying to learn from those movies that she loved so much, since her dad's would not agree to pay for any sort of lesson for her in that way.
Hiram and Leroy then made a decision that Rachel, needed to be receiving some help, in order to make her see that a life on the stage, was not in fact a wise one, and therefore managed with some help from a doctor friend of Hiram's have her admitted to a psycharitic hospital in Westerville for a few weeks over the summer, and hopefully make her dreams become less of what she wanted and more of what they wanted for their daughter.
Rachel cried and cried, on the trip to Westerville and the hospital, trying to convince her dad's that she was indeed not crazy, and that there was nothing wrong with what her dreams were, and that she didn't have the desire to be a doctor or a lawyer as they wished for her.
She was however met with nothing but blank expressions from her dad's as they told her that, they knew what was best for her.
Upon getting to the hospital, and her dad's leaving her there in their care for the two weeks that she had been committed. Rachel started to undergo psych evaluations with a few of the doctors there.
The doctors though there had a hard time understanding for what reasons, Rachel had been committed under, seeing nothing but a girl with a dream and the desire to go after it.
After the two week hold was up, Leroy and Hiram returned to the hospital, only to be told by staff that they saw nothing wrong with Rachel, and that she was in fact not at all crazy as her dad's had claimed.
This infuriated both men, who in the presence of Rachel, told the chief of staff, that they were clearly not doing their job properly if they were unable to see that there was indeed something wrong with her.
They then demanded that Rachel be committed to the hospital under a full time watch, and after much argument from Rachel that she was not crazy and reassurance from the doctors that this was also not the case. The two men finally managed to have their demands met when they promised a sizable donation to the hospital, which would then see Rachel being able to stay here until she no longer had any desire to be a star.
The chief of staff, wanting to disagree, didn't in the end. Seeing that this girl who was meant to be loved by her parents, was in fact clearly not at all. So he agreed to let her stay in the hospital.
This pleased Leroy and Hiram, and they arranged for some more of Rachel's clothes, although it all would have to be checked over by staff there before she was allowed to have any of it, since there were some patients at the hospital, who did want to harm themselves, and would find any way to do this.
Rachel however, when her clothes arrived chose not to wear anything, except the underwear that had been bought, decided upon the hospital issue plain scrub like outfit and canvas shoes without laces, because if made her realize that her life and all of her dreams were in fact over and no matter what she did, since she was therefore a minor, her chances of getting out of the hospital before the age of eighteen who all gone.
And submitting to what would most likely be a life locked up in a psychiatric hospital.

Noah Puckerman wasn't a bad guy, he just had a knack for getting himself into trouble. And his latest effort had definitely done that.
When he had decided to steal the ATM from the local convience store, he didn't expect a couple of off duty police officers to be there, and be witness to the whole thing.
And that is how he had ended up in the local courts of Lima, Ohio; answering charges for property damage and also stealing of the an automated teller machine.
It turned out though when it came to sentencing that the juvenile detention center, just outside of Lima was full and therefore not a place for him.
Puck thought that this meant it was his lucky day or year, or whatever and when hearing this in the sentencing began to thank whoever he could in his mind for everything and anything he possibly could do to repay them for getting off in his sentence.
However the judge wasn't going to let him off that easy, and sentenced him to spend some time in a psychiatric hospital in Westerville, since they had seen that from his list of troubles and such, that the majority of it had started just after a girl who he had briefly hooked up with in high school, by the name of Quinn Fabray, had had a baby and then given said child up for adoption, without giving him any say in the matter.
Although Puck's mother, was glad to see that her child was not going to be sent to a detention center, she was upset that he was in a way still going to be locked up in a sense for a period of time; and on the day that he went to the psychiatric hospital, he promised her that he would use the time inside to revaluate his life and come out of it a better man.
And this was a promise that Lydia Puckerman vowed to hold him to.

The day Puck got to the psychiatric hospital, saw him lose the Mohawk that he had had for the past two years since he became a freshman, as well as all signs of street clothes, and instead be issued with the standard cotton like scrubs and canvas shoes that all those within the hospital wore.
After spending some time in his sparse like room, the bell for dinner time sounded, meaning that all those there had to make their way to the dining hall.
Puck lined up along with the others and then in an orderly manner, one by one they all went through the line, getting what the hospital called dinner, but to him it looked similar to that of what he would often get at lunch time at McKinley High. With the dinner being served on this particular night, looking at awful lot like what was often dubbed "mystery meat".
Rachel, also moved through the line, just a little further up from Puck, also getting the meat like dish, having no choice but to give up on her vegan ways long ago, when it became obvious to her that there was not going to be much of a vegetable choice for her every night, just to eat that.
She moved away from the servery and headed over to the table, choosing like always to sit by herself and away from all the others that were currently admitted in the hospital.
Puck as he moved away, surveyed the tables and groups of people as he walked trying to find somewhere to sit. He gaze landed upon Rachel, who with her head down and hair framing her face, meant that he was unable to actually see her. Feeling sorry for the girl on her own, Puck walked over to her.
"Mind if I sit here?" asked Puck.
Rachel startled that someone was actually choosing to talk to her, looked up at him, her eyes wide with surprise and yet somewhat fright.
"Rachel?" asked Puck his face whitening in a shock, when he finally recognized the girl sitting before him.
"Noah" replied Rachel.
The two of them just looking at one another, unsure of what to say to the person that they had seen so long ago.
End Note:
So thoughts?! Do people want to see this continued?!
And what do we think of these versions of the characters?!
I will try and get another chapter out soon of this, although I can't hold any firm promises! I do know where I want it to head though, so that's a plus I guess
For all those who read "So No One" another chapter of that will be up shortly, just doing a last minute revision of it, and a little research for it, since there are some visuals for me in to have in place so I can see the end product better.
Should be up in the next few days.
So until then, love to you all always
