Puck was driving home from practice that day when he saw Rachel walking in the pouring rain. He pulled his truck over to the side of the road and got out walking up to her.
"Berry what the hell are you doing?" He asked stepping in front of her.
"My car broke down and my cell is dead." She said taking her ear phones out.
"You want a ride then?" He asked jerking a thumb to his still running truck. She nodded and followed him over to the truck. He moved his bag to give her room and pulled a towel out from his bag handing it over to her. She looked at it but didn't take it. "It's clean." He said dropping it in her lap before checking traffic and pulling out onto the road. Rachel picked the towel up and drying herself off.
"Thanks Noah." She whispered staring out the window and watching the rain slick across it.
"Sure." He said as he turned onto her road. He pulled up in front of her house and put his truck in park. Rachel set the towel down and opened her door,
"Thank you for bringing me home." She said quietly.
"Will you need a ride to school tomorrow?" Puck asked before she got out.
"That would be nice. Thank you." Rachel said hoping down from his truck and running up to her door. Puck waited till she was inside and went home for the evening thinking of how quite Rachel had been.
"What were you doing with Puck this morning?" Finn asked as they walked into glee club that afternoon.
"He gave me a ride to school." Rachel said plainly.
"Why. You could have called me." Finn said sitting next to her. "He isn't good to hang around. It was bad enough you guys sang together you don't need to start hanging out too." Finn said.
"Are you really trying to tell me what to do?" Rachel asked not believing how he was behaving.
"He is the reason we broke up Rachel. He isn't good." Finn said. Everyone else was in the music room by now and Rachel couldn't stop looking at Finn. She couldn't believe that he was acting like her boy friend when he had made it clear that they were over for good. Mr. Schuster had begun to speak when Rachel stood up and announced that she had something she wanted to sing. Rachel walked over to there practice band and whispered something to them and they all nodded. She stood in the middle of the floor hands on her hips with a slightly angry look on her face.
Can't make my own decisions You say that I been changing
Or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me
that I'm not just simply aging
Yeah how could that be logical?
Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
The rest of the club except for Finn joined in for the chorus.
You don't have to believe me If God's the game you're playing It's just my humble opinion You don't have to believe me This is the last second chance I know you don't believe me I know you won't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one who's holy
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror
Rachel had a smug look on her face as she took her seat crossing her arms and legs and glaring at Finn who was red faced.
"So Berry find out what wrong with your car?" Puck asked after glee club was over.
"Yeah it was just a dead battery. I am going to pick it up later today. Thanks for yesterday and this morning." She said giving him a smile.
"No problem. See you later then." He said giving her a wave and walking out of the class room.
"What was that all about?' Mercedes asked walking up next to Rachel.
"Puck helped me out with something and Finn got all uppity about it." Rachel said with a shrug.
"You know I have been thinking. What do all the great stars do after a bad break up?" Mercedes said. Rachel just looked at her. "They reinvent themselves. We are going shopping." Mercedes said taking Rachel's arm and leading her from the class room.
The next day when Rachel walked into glee club with Mercedes everyone got very quite. Mercedes had picked out a few new outfits for Rachel one of which she was wearing today. Along with curly hair and make up. It didn't slip Rachel's notice the looks she got not only from Finn but also from all the other guys as well. They all looked comical with their mouths hanging open. Rachel took her seat next to Mercedes who started whispering to her.
"Okay so this week I want to focus on unity. I know a lot has been going on with all of you and I want all of you to find a song this week to express how you are feeling about someone or a situation and present it when you are ready. In the mean time I want us to all brainstorm about what song we want for our anthem." Mr. Schuster said after everyone had settled down. The rest of the afternoon was spent brainstorming ideas for songs but no one could seem to agree on anything so dismissed them for the day and hoped that tomorrow would be better.
"Nice look Berry." Puck said with a wink before leaving the room. Rachel blushed slightly as Kurt came over to join them.
"I think Puck has it out for you Rachel." Kurt said looking from Puck to her.
"No he is just being Noah." Rachel said as both Mercedes and Kurt took her arms. "We still meeting at my place tonight?" She asked as they walked to the parking lot. Mercedes and Kurt told her that they would be there before they all went home for the afternoon.
"So does anyone have a song they are prepared to share." Mr. Schuster asked as they all sat in glee club that afternoon. Same raised his hand and gave him the floor.
"I am gonna ask my guys to join me for this one." Sam said and Puck and Artie joined same in front of everyone.
I'm holding on your rope, It's too late to apologize, it's too late I'd take another chance, take a fall It's too late to apologize, it's too late It's too late to apologize, it's too late
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...
Quinn looked like she was about to cry after that one and said that she too had a song she had prepared. She had felt terrible about what happened between her and Sam and wanted to make it right. He had brushed her off so easily and it hurt to see him with Santana.
I still remember the look on your face I do recall now the smell of the rain But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes Never thought we'd have a last kiss I do remember the swing of your step Because I loved your handshake, meeting my father And I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes Never thought we'd have a last kiss So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day So, I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes I never thought we'd ever last kiss
Been through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me so why did you go away, go away
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pulled me in
I'm not much for dancing but for you did
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips, ohh
And I'll feel you forget me like I use to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
We can plan for a change in weather and time
I never planned on you changing your mind
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss, forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips, just like our last
Quinn quickly took her seat again and Britney patted her on the back. Quinn looked over at Sam but he just turned away from her. Quinn dropped her head into her hands and ran them over her face she was at a loss for what to do. She had tried talking to him and that hadn't worked. She had now tried singing and that didn't work either. So felt defeated.
"Well does anyone else have anything?" When no one answered they were all dismissed and left for the day.
"Hey Berry." Puck called as Rachel walked to her car that day after school.
"Yes Noah?" She asked turning to face him. Puck leaned against her car and looked her up and down. For some one so short she had great legs now that he could see them with out her tights on.
"I was thinking about the anthem assignment and had something in mind and was wondering if you would work on it with me, say tonight, your room." He said raising his eyebrows at her sugestivly.
"That's fine but it is stricly business, nothing else so get that stupid smirk off your face Puckerman." Rachel told him unlocking her car door and slipping in.
"See you tonight then." Puck said pushing off her car and walking to his truck.
"Finn I have already told you, you can't tell me how to hang out with." Rachel said on the phone. Finn had seen her and Puck talking after school and wanted to know why. "I don't care if you don't like him. I am my own person and can do what I want with who I want." Rachel said. " No I am not sleeping with him, how could you say that to me." Rachel said shocked that he would even suggest that. "And I think that if you want to tell someone what to do you should do it with your girlfriend or is she still to busy pining after her ex to give you the time of day." Rachel nearly shouted. Finn was quite on the other line and Rachel knew she had gone to far but she didn't care he had hurt her enough and by calling her up and telling her who she should or shouldn't hang out with was not helping her get over him. "Finn I think it is going to be best if we don't talk out side of glee club and when we do talk it should just be about glee club. I think that is going to be the best thing for the both of us." Rachel said before ending the call with him. She lay back on her bed and threw her arms over her eyes feeling a few tears fall down her cheeks.
Rachel had little time to recover before there was a knock at her door and Puck walked in.
"Hello Noah." She said wiping her face.
"Everything alright Berry?" Puck asked setting his guitar case down and sitting on her bed.
"Yeah just trouble with Finn." She said shrugging it off. "So what is your idea for an anthem then." Rachel asked changing the subject. Puck told Rachel his idea and they worked on it for the rest of the night and ordered a pizza for dinner.
"Do you want to watch a movie." Rachel asked after she paid for the pizza.
"Sure what you got?" Puck asked. Rachel told him where the movies were and sent him to go look at them while she grabbed plates and drinks. Noah was surprised at all of the movie options she had. They weren't all musicals. "What are you in the mood for?" He asked as she walked into the media room.
"Whatever I don't really care." Rachel said putting plates and drinks down on the table with the pizza box. Noah pulled a movie out and opened the DVD and placed the movie in. "What did you pick?" Rachel asked sitting down and placing a slice of pizza on her plate.
"What and find out." Puck said sitting down and looking at all of the remotes in front of him. Rachel just rolled her eyes and picked up the proper remote and started the movie.
"Mr. Schuster we have an idea for an anthem for reginals." Puck said the afternoon in glee club. They were given the floor and went through there song and were greeted with congratulations on finding their song for reginals.
Well please review and let me know your thoughts and let me know your guesses on what they are going to sing at reginals. It will not be the original music like they are doing tomorrow night for the episode.
