Rachel was shaking uncontrollably, she'd always been aware of how he acted around her but she never, ever thought he'd go this far. She wrapped the towel tighter around her small figure, trying to get some comfort. Her cell lay on her bedside cabinet, yet she couldn't bring herself to get up off the floor. A huge bang was heard from downstairs and she hurriedly got up off her feet and clutched her phone. Whilst shaking violently she managed to open up her contact list and started to scroll down, hesitating when she reached Finn's name. She sighed and then continued to scroll until she reached the name of the boy she knew would come through for her. Her small fingers pressed the call button and she held the phone close to her ear as it rang, it felt like hours before he eventually answered in his usual husky tone.

"Hello?" he questioned.

Rachel was silent for a moment, she tried to catch her breath.

"Noah." she eventually breathed. "I know it's late it's just, my dads aren't home and-"

Puck shot up on his bed, knowing instantly that something was wrong with Rachel.

"What's wrong Rachel?" he asked sternly.

There was a long pause as Rachel began to cry down the phone, he began putting on his jacket, fumbling around the room for the keys to his truck.

"I need you Noah." she cried.

"I'm on my way Berry."

With that he hung up the phone and got in to his truck, speeding off towards her house which thankfully was only a few blocks away. His old truck eventually pulled up outside the giant house that belonged to the Berry's. He scrambled out of the truck and approached her front door, he raised his knuckles to knock but the door was already open. Slowly, he stepped inside the house unsure of what the hell was going on, but things definitely weren't right.

"Rach?" He called out.

There was no answer, he could only hear loud sobs coming from upstairs. He dashed up them quickly, taking them two at a time, scared of what was wrong with Rachel. Gently, he pushed open the door to her room, instantly looking towards her empty bed, which was where he'd assumed she'd be.

"Noah, you came." A weak squeal came from the curled up ball on the floor.

He rushed over towards her and knelt so that they were at eye level. "Of course I did babe."

Her big brown eyes that were red raw after all the crying looked straight in to his, he noticed how they looked so pained and scared, not their usually bright, lively self.

"Rach, what's happened?"

She bit her lip and turned her gaze away from him, her mind flashing back to what had happened just a few minutes ago. Puck placed his hand under her chin, cupping her face. He turned her head gently so that they were face-to-face, he gave her a sympathetic look as if to say, 'You can tell me.'

Rachel let out a loud sigh as she tried to choke back the tears, Puck stroked her head gently.

"My dance class ran late so when I got home it was really dark. I'd been dancing for quite a while and was in desperate need of a shower, so once I got home I proceeded upstairs. Knowing that my dads weren't home I began to undress, mainly because I was so tired. When I got in to my room, I noticed my window was wide open, and I never leave my window open. I shrugged it off and began to remove my underwear when I saw him." Her breath caught in her throat causing her to pause.

Puck stared at her, desperately wanting her to continue the story, worrying about what had happened.

"Who was here Rachel?" he asked.

"Jacob." she breathed out.

It was Puck's turn to sigh, he pulled Rachel closer to him, urging her to continue.

"What happened Rach? What did the jerk do to you?" Puck clenched his hands.

"I screamed when I saw him and then out of shock, I just stood there. Not moving an inch. He said something along the lines of 'Wanky' and that's when I realized I was naked and he was holding a video camera in his hand. I ran in to the bathroom and slammed the door shut, locking it. He started banging on the door, begging me to let me in. He said I deserved it Noah, he said I was a tease and that everyone needed to find out what a little slut I am." The tears were flowing heavily down her face as Noah clutched her tighter, the anger was coursing through his veins. He wanted nothing more than to kill JewFro but his main concern at the moment was the tiny, broken girl that lay in his arms. Puck clenched his eyes shut before breathing out.

"Did he, d-did he do anything to you Rachel, you know-"

"No. I screamed at him that my dads were going to be home any minute and that I had a phone with me in the bathroom and was ready to call the cops. He then ran out of the house as fast as he could, but, do you know what he said before he left? 'I'll be back.'"

Her tears had turned in to hard sobs as Puck had to fight back the tears that were forming in his eyes. He picked himself off the floor and turned for the door, his hands curled up into fists.

"Noah, where are you going?" She cried out weakly.

"I'm going to find JewFro and I'm going to fucking kill him for what he did to you Rach, the fucking sick psycho." Noah shouted.

"Noah, please don't leave me. I don't want to be alone, I'm scared." Rachel said in a small voice.

Puck stopped in his tracks and let out a breath before turning back to face Rachel, he knelt back down beside her and held her hand softly.

"Don't worry baby, I'm not going anywhere."

He picked her up off the floor and carried her bridal style towards her bed.

"You need some sleep, it's late."

"Er, Noah. I'm naked underneath this towel." She chuckled slightly.

Puck shuffled uncomfortably, something which he usually wasn't around hot, naked girls. What the hell was wrong with him. He nodded and then stepped out of the room for a while whilst she got changed. When he opened the door she was wearing an old college shirt that came down mid-thigh, he felt a certain part of his body getting harder at the image of her. She quickly climbed back in to the bed, burying herself in the covers. Puck took of his clothes, leaving him just in his boxers and made his way to the small sofa that lay on the other side of Rachel's bed. Rachel picked up her small head.

"Noah, if you don't mind, I'd feel a lot safer if you slept in the same bed as me. I understand if you'd feel uncomfortable."

"Rach, stop your rambling, if it makes you feel safer than I'll sleep with you every night for the rest of your life. I need to protect you. All I want is for you to feel safe."

He climbed next to her in to the bed and she lay her head on his chest, slowly falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

A/N : This story is a little AU, it is based after regionals, everything after then will be AU. Just thought I'd point that out. Everything that happened before Regionals still stand (except Lauren and Puck, they're not together). Sorry for confusing y'all! Please R&R 'cause it'd mean everything to me :D
