Summery: While listening to Rachel singing Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You Puck remembers the most important girl in his life.
"Okay guys and girls this weeks assignment is to sing something about Remembrance about a very special person in your life." Mr. Shue said as he wrote the assignment on the board. "Mr. Shue, if I may I already have a song I would like to use." Rachel said already getting up from her chair.
"The song I will be singing is Sarah McLachlan's I Will Remember You" Rachel said than nodded her head to Brad.
Puck's POV
As Rachel started singing I was hit with flashes of her.
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
"Hi my name is Xxxx and I'm 6. What's your name?" she said with a smile.
"My name is Noah Puckerman but you can call me Puck and I'm 5." Puck said with a smile on his little face
"Puck is a silly name I'm gonna call you Noah" she said.
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
"Noah come push me on the swing" she said with a laugh.
"Ok Xxxx." Noah laughed. He liked having a friend like her.
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
"Noah you know how I haven't been feeling well?" she asked as tears fell down her face.
"Yeah. You went to the doctor yesterday. Is everything ok?" he asked as he wiped her tears with his thumb.
"I'm sick Noah, really sick. I have leukemia" she cried.
"It's gonna be ok. You are gonna get better. You have too." Noah said as he to cried for his best friend.
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
"I'm so tired Noah but I'm afraid to sleep incase I don't wake up again" she said with a yawn.
Noah was screaming inside that she HAS to get better. But his screams and prayers went unheard.
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
"Noah, honey wake up" Noah's mom said.
"Mom it's 3 in the morning what is it?" Noah asked half asleep.
"Xxxx was taken to the hospital. She doesn't have much time left sweetie" his mom replied.
Noah jumped out of bed pulled on a sweatshirt and ran out the door, his mom not far behind.
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
When Noah arrived he grabbed her hand and held on as tight as he could without hurting her. "Please don't leave me Xxxx, please." Noah begged knowing it was no use.
"You will always be my best friend and I will miss you Noah, but promise me that you will not let your life pass by." She said in a whisper.
"I promise" Noah whispered back as tears fell down is 13-year-old face.
She died at age 14 after hearing Noah's whispered promise with a smile on her face and a tear in her eye,
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
Puck didn't realize that he was until Finn asked if he was ok. "No I'm not ok. Mr. Shue I have a song." Puck said standing up. "Go ahead Puck" Mr. Shue replied.
After asking Brad if he could use the piano he started to play the familiar melody of Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting.
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me going crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you
"Quinn there is a reason I want the name Xxxx for our daughter. When I was 13 my best friend died from leukemia, her name was Xxxx XxXxxxx. I just wanted to be able to say 'I love you Xxxx'. If you all remember I didn't start going by Puck until I was 14. When she died I made a promise that I wouldn't let my life pass me by and I've broken that promise but I'm not going to anymore." Puck said when he finished his performance. He walked out after that.
-Time Skip 20 minutes Location Lima Cemetery-
"I'm sorry that I haven't been around much. I didn't think you would have liked what I became after you died. God I miss you so much and there is so much I have to tell you. I got my best friend's girlfriend pregnant. I just know that you would slap me silly if you were here. But if you were here I know it wouldn't have happened. She is having a little girl I want to give the baby your name but Quinn will not let me. I guess I can understand that she is that one pregnant. You know I never got the chance to tell you that I love you and ask you to be my girl. I know that I will love again but it will never be as strong as the love I have for you." Puck said sitting front of the gravestone.
"I know we are giving her up for adoption but I think the name Xxxx would be perfect. Maybe you could write a letter to her explaining how she got her name." Quinn said after sitting down next to him. "Thank you Quinn. Come on let go get something to eat." Puck said standing up. After helping Quinn stand they headed to the entrance of the cemetery looking back Puck said "I love you Beth McAllen".
Let me know what you think.
