Hey this is my first try at an actual story, I have no idea what the reaction to this will be but I love this idea and I want to see it on the screen. Anyway writing is not my strong suit so please be brutally honest but kind with the honesty if you don't mind(: Here goes my take on Puck and Rachel. Oh and also if it's not liked I'll definitely stop writing it so no one has to suffer:p
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, or like many other's thoughts Puck and Rachel would be together. I also don't own any references to Broadway or musicals. Not sure if I needed to state that but better safe than sorry!
It had been six years since Rachel Berry had set foot into Lima, Ohio, and she had intended to keep it that way. She was successful, but the journey to that was troublesome. She arrived in New York with a naïve mind and a broken heart. She originally planned to take the stage by storm and take siege of the role of Maria in West Side Story; however reality hit hard when she was rejected without a second glance. This in combination with her heartbreak from the man whose name she never thought of sent her into a wave of desperation. She threw herself into her work, which distracted her from the events of that one day, and after some roles in chorus lines or understudies she finally became a lead. Starring as Elphaba in Wicked wasn't her original plan but she was beyond happy and she thought she was finally rid of him.
So when she received the email from her old teacher about a glee club reunion in order to restore enthusiasm and to discourage complicity into his current club she couldn't help but think about the time this happened to her club. Which lead her to think of him and how good he looked in the boys' mash up. No she wouldn't allow herself to think of it, but she felt it was her duty to Mr. Shue to show up and perform with the other clubbers. So that's why Rachel Berry found herself stepping out of her dads' Jeep and up the driveway of her old house. She kept in contact with some members like Kurt, Mercedes, and Finn, and she knew they would all be at the reunion. "It won't be too bad, seeing I'll have friends with me," she thought solemnly. And since they told her he had RSVP'd to the reunion, she knew he'd be there, he always did what he said he'd do. It was a quality she had once admired. Now that she was thinking of him, she allowed her mind to wonder in ways she had always repressed. What had happened that caused that fateful Saturday? Did he decide to settle down with Quinn? Is there even a possibility of me and….? No, she spent too long separating him from her mind and one lousy trip home wouldn't change the past. No she would stand her ground and ignore him like she should've done in high school. Better yet she'd show him how much she has changed since high school and how wonderful that change had been for her. Her new life was perfect and she was determined to show everyone that.
After Rachel had unpacked her things, said goodbye to her dads and took their' Jeep and drove over to the popular restaurant that she had planned to meet Finn and his girlfriend Stacy for dinner. As she entered the restaurant she saw her old friend/the man she had once been madly in love with. Looking at his goofy silly grin she wondered what she had seen in him her sophomore year. She knew that Finn was concerned about her reaction to being back in Lima so she put on her stage smile. His girlfriend Stacy was gorgeous and the two of them made a cute couple. As Rachel took her seat across from them the conversation was good and it reminded her why she wanted to come back to Lima. After a hearty dinner of fettuccini alfredo she paid and bid her goodbye.
On her way home she took a detour passing the high school. Driving past it happy memories flooded her and along with the good came the sad. No this was going to be a happy trip she though. So turning around and heading to the corner store to pick up milk like her fathers had wanted her too was when she saw him. In line buying her 2% milk was when her perfect façade came crashing down. A few seconds she heard a voice from behind, one that she'd recognize in her sleep, because she often dreamt of it. "Welcome back Berry," came the ever sexy voice of Noah Puckerman. She turned around slowly and when she saw him for the first time in six years her jaw went slack.
AN: So….how terrible?? Geez I'm scared to hear the feedback but please do review. It would mean a lot. Thanks for taking the time to read it I appreciate that too!!
