Rachel's POV

Right now, I am walking hand-in-hand with the best boyfriend in the world, Finn. He told me he needed to tell me something important. When we finally stopped, I noticed we were in front of the glee room.

"Finn, what is it?" I finally asked him.

He sighed. "Listen, um, I have to tell you something important," he said.

"Yea, I know. What's wrong?"

"Um, well, I think, I think we should, you know, see other people," he said.

I was shocked. "What?" I asked making sure I had heard correctly.

He sighed. "Rachel, I'm breaking up with you," he said.

"Why?" I asked still confused. We were perfectly fine yesterday.

"Well, I've been with Quinn behind your back for a while now. I don't wanna hide it anymore. I want to be with her not you." By now my eyes were watery.

"You've been cheating on me?" I asked, no longer hurt, but mad as hell.

"Yea, hey, listen, you were great, but you know, it's time to move on," he said shrugging. (I'm making Finn a douche in this story. I'm sorry. I really do love him though)

What a douche! I had to shut my lips super tight so I wouldn't lash out at him.

Just then, Noah (3) walked around the corner, spotting us. That's when Finn decided to walk into the glee room. I stayed out in the hallway to cool down a bit.

When Noah got to the door he stopped.

"What's wrong Berry?" he asked in what sounded like a sincere voice.

I took a deep breath in and let it out. "Everything is perfect, Noah. Thank you for asking though." I replied.

He smirked down at me. "Then why is your face beet red and why do you keep clenching and unclenching your hands?"

I let out a groan. Then I did something surprising. I told him everything that happened. From the beginning to end. I really don't know why, but I did. When I was done, he looked like he wanted to punch something, or someone.

"Noah, calm down. It's fine," I said putting my hand on his arm. Man, he's very muscular.

I shook my head a little and removed my hand. I looked back up at him, but this time he looked relaxed.

"Can I ask you something?" he asked in a soft voice. This is a side of him I have never seen. Not even when we dated for that one week. I liked it.

"Go ahead."

"Why do you keep going back to him? All he ever does is hurt you," he replied. I never really thought of it that way. Now, thinking about it, it really got to me.

I started to feel my eyes water again. Out of nowhere, I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist.

When they encircled me, I felt warmth and comfort. I wrapped my arms around Noah's neck and whispered very softly, "I don't really know. Thank you for making me realize what a jerk he is," and giggled.

He laughed and lifted me off the ground and spun me around. I was giggling the whole time.

"Alright enough of all the tears and me being all sweet. Let's go into that room and show him what he's going to be missing." I giggled again and wiped my eyes, still smiling, and walked into glee club with Noah.

When we walked in, I was still wiping my eyes and smiling. I completely ignored Finn, who had his arm wrapped around Quinn's shoulder, and walked to an empty seat in the back. Ok, so maybe I didn't ignore him completely, but whatever. Noah surprised me once again by taking the seat next to me. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Alright everybody! Today we will be pairing up in groups of two to sing a duet. Yes, you may choose your own partner and the song you will be singing. You will all be performing your duet on Friday. So, choose your partner and get to work," Mr. Shue said.

"So what song are we going to sing?" I looked at Noah with shocked eyes.

"You want to be my partner?" I asked him surprised.

"Yea. Hey thanks for asking," he smirked.

I laughed lightly and asked, "Are you sure? I mean, we both know how I can get wi-" I didn't even get a chance to finish what I was saying because Noah put his finger against my lips.

"I think I can handle anything you throw at me," he said smirking. "I am a total badass after all," he said while flexing his arms.

I smiled while shaking my head.

We decided to go with something modern. We were going to sing "Half of my Heart" by John Meyer and Taylor Swift. Yea, I know, it's totally badass. The whole time we were practicing, people were glancing our way.

We did really well on the sing and apparently the rest of the class did too because when we were done, they all clapped except for Finn and Quinn.

"Guys! That sounded amazing!" Mr. Shue said while clapping, "The rest of you better work hard if you want to beat these two."

By the end of class, Noah and I had the song down, but we still needed a little more work. We decided to go to his house to practice a little more since we only have two more days till we have to perform.

Before we walked out of the class, Noah put his arm around my shoulders. I thought it was a friendly gesture, but the glee members obviously didn't. When we were at the door I heard someone say, "Do you think Puck likes her?" It's ridiculous.

The whole ride to Noah's house was spent laughing and joking around. It was really weird. Usually we don't acknowledge each other unless we absolutely have to. I think he just feels sorry for me because of the whole Finn situation.

When he pulled up to his house he groaned.

"What is it?"

"I just remembered my little brother might be home from school. Listen, if he says or does something wrong to you, just tell me and I'll handle him. Alright?" he said.

"Um, ok?" it came out sounding more like a question.

"Alright let's go."

When we got to the front door, he twisted the door handle, but it wouldn't open. He groaned and checked his pockets.

"Damit I forgot my key." He knocked on the door and from the other side I could hear the lock being undone.

When the door opened, there was a boy there. He was probably my height, give or take a few inches.

Noah grabbed my hand, pushed his brother out of the way and walked in.

"Dude! What the hell is your prob-" he stopped talking when he saw me and looked at me from head to toe very slowly.

I shifted a little, feeling uncomfortable.

"Brian stop being a perv," Noah nearly growled.

"My apologies. I'm Brian and you are?"

"I'm Rachel Berry," I replied sticking my hand that wasn't in Noah's out.

"Well it is very nice to meet you," he said and brought my hand up to his lips.

When he let go of my hand, I looked at both Brian and Noah and shook my head while laughing a little.

"You guys are exactly the same," I said.

Brian smirked and said, "Except I'm the younger and hotter version," and winked.

"Yea, you are younger," I replied.

Noah laughed while Brian pouted a little.

"Wanna go practice the song up in my room?" Noah asked me.

"Yea, let's go."

We practiced the whole time with occasional breaks for lunch and when Brian interrupted us. When I had to go home, Noah insisted on driving me home even though I live three houses down from him; literally. Over all it was a good day and it even got my mind off of Finn.

YAY! There's the first chapter. Seriously, I've been working on this for like a month. (Stupid school gets in the way of everything!) I've been writing during class, like while I was in world history and was supposed to be working on this one essay, I was writing this! But yea . . . REVIEW! Oh! And all the characters and pictures are on my profile including Brian!
