At 7 years old, they'd become siblings to another Puckerman child, this one, Eli. Everything had been blissful for the first year, Noah and herself had spent hours entertaining their new brother, teaching him how to say the basic words, in fact, they'd been quite proud when the first word that slipped from his mouth had been "No".
It was a few months after Eli's first birthday that everything had changed. Eli was fast asleep in his cot, the light snores evident, Noah had grasped his sisters' hand, pulling her into their bedroom and slid down with his back against the door, pulling her into a tight hug as they listened to the screaming and shouting downstairs. Everything had seemed to flash from then, their father had pushed his way into the room, grabbing her favourite rucksack from the wardrobe and began packing some of her things into it.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" She'd managed to sob as her mother stood at the door, tears evident on her usually blush cheeks. "Daddy stop!" Angrily she'd ran towards him, grabbing his leg and pulling hard. As he leant down to scoop her into his arms, Noah had jumped up.
"Let her down. You're not taking her!" He'd cried, trying to block his Dad from leaving the room, screaming as his Mom scooped him into her arms. "Mummy stop him! He can't take her"
"You can't split them up" Lisa Puckerman had protested lightly as she watched her husband head downstairs and towards the front door.
"You're not taking my only daughter away from me because of your stupid actions. I would have done anything for this family, but you ruined that by sleeping with him. The boys will be strong enough to work through what you've done, but I'm not letting you hurt her too"
As the door slammed, Noah had burst out crying, kicking at his Moms frame. "MAKE HIM COME BACK, HE CAN'T TAKE HER!"
That night, Noah cried for his sister, for his family and at the tender age of 8, Noah felt his first bout of heartbreak.
Gone 12, Noah had only ever received letters from his sister, promising him she was fine and that she missed him. She told him all about the friends she met at school and how she'd found out that she enjoyed singing.
Noah only ever let people know about his one sibling, too ashamed in himself that he'd let his father take away his twin sister.
His 15th birthday had been spent sulking around the house, shrugging when his friends asked what was wrong. As he retreated to bed that night, he heard his Mom call his name softly. She smiled as she handed him a piece of paper.
"Your Sisters cell phone number, she phoned last night, your father has cancer, he doesn't have long to live. She really wants to hear from you"
Noah had sat staring at the number well into the early morning, before deciding he'd phone first thing tomorrow.
The phone rang a few times, before her voice sailed through the line. "Hello?"
He let out the breath he didn't know he'd been holding. "Lou?"
There was a gasp as realisation dawned on her. "Noah?"
They'd spend the next few hours chatting away like they'd never been apart and Noah couldn't help but smile at the thought of his life beginning to make sense once more. He'd agreed to take the plane tickets his father had offered him to head to LA to see Lou, running downstairs to tell his Mom.
It was 14 months later he got the call from her he'd been expecting. Their father had passed that morning, the cancer finally winning. She'd sobbed down the phone to him for at least an hour before she asked if she could speak to their Mom.
A half hour later and he was told of the plans, they would be flying out to LA to attended the funeral, before they'd be helping Lou pack up everything and she'd be flying back over with them to Lima, Ohio.
He told her as he helped her pack the last of her stuff into her bag that he'd never told anyone, not even his closest friends that he had a twin sister, that he'd been to ashamed that he'd let her walk from his life in the first place. She'd shook her head pulling him into a tight hug and kissing his cheek.
"I never told anyone about you or Eli either, it was easier than being asked questions, than being forced to remember how easy I'd just gave up"
On the flight home, he'd told her about his life at home, about Santana and all the rest of the girls, about football, about Glee Club, about Mike, Sam and Finn. That was probably why she was so reluctant to enrol at his school when Lisa had sat the two of them down to tell them.

"I thought you were over exaggerating on the man whore thing" She'd rolled her eyes as he stopped them in-front of her locker, snapping in the combination for her. "I don't think I've ever had as many death glares in this amount of time"
"Yeah, well, everyone wants a ride on the Puckster" He grinned, winking at a group of cheerio's who'd practically fell over their feet when they'd spotted him.
"You're disgusting Noah" She held up her hand as he went to protest. "No, I will not call you Puck, ever, so don't even bother"
"Whatever. C'mon we have a Glee meeting this morning, you should join..."
"I've not even been in this school 2 minutes Noah and you're already trying to resign me to slushy facials?" She cocked an eyebrow. "Anyways, the way you talk about this Rachel girl, she seems to be your lead and I'm not sure she'd like me very much"
"Ah Puck, I thought maybe you wouldn't be joining us today" Mr Schue smiled as Puck made his way into the already full practise room, tugging Lou behind him.
"Sorry Schue, had to play chaperone to this one" Puck grinned, before nodding his head towards the others, Will nodding in understanding. He frowned as he turned towards the group noticing Finn eyeing up his sister.
"Hey babe, what's your name?" Puck held back a laugh as Rachel shot the football giant a disgusted look, Quinn smacking his arm.
"Yo, Finessa, I'd appreciate you not referring to her as babe, she has a name and it's Lou. Guys, this here is my twin sister, she's just moved here from LA and today's her first day, she's also a brilliant singer" He turned to Schue as the last line passed his lips.
"Your... what?" Tina spoke up, a confused frown making its way onto her face as she turned to Artie for help.
"Twin, look all you need to know is she's just moved here from LA and she's new here"
Lou rolled her eyes from behind her brother, before stepping forward a little. "Sorry, I'm ruining your Glee meeting. Noah, I'll meet you at lunch. It was nice to meet you all" She began to edge her way from the room.
"Wait!" Spinning around, Lou looked the Latina that had shouted out to her up and down quickly. Santana, definitely. "You sing?"
Lou nodded. "I try"
"She's good" Puck spoke up.
Mr Schue smiled, "If you want to show us what you've got, the floor is yours"
Lou looked around at them all, before shaking her head a little. "I haven't prepared anything" She turned to Puck for back-up who only rolled his eyes, taking her hand and pulling her towards the middle of the room. Taking the guitar from its stand, he smiled as he began to strum.
Puck. Lou. Both.
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
Puck smiled a little, nodding at the others as some of them began to sing along to.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
As the song came to a finish, Puck grinned pulling his sister into a tight hug, faintly aware of the rest of the club cheering loudly for the two of them.
"Mr Schue, as co-captain I feel it would be beneficial to add Lou into our group" Rachel smiled down at her teacher before heading for Puck and Lou. "Hi I'm Rachel Berry. It's a pleasure to meet you"
Lou smiled, turning to look at Puck, who nodded a little, grinning. "It's really nice to meet you too, I've heard a lot about you" As Rachel looked up to Puck a little uncertainly, Lou giggled. "I also promise I'm nothing like him"
Puck mocked gasped, nudging her lightly, before turning to Rachel. "Don't worry my little Jewish princess; it was nothing but nice things"
Lou smiled as Rachel blushed lightly, before moving aside to let the rest of the club be introduced.
"This here is Artie and Tina. She's not all that shy once you get to know her" Puck grinned, winking at the small Asian girl, who in turn rolled her eyes, sending him a glare.
"I'm Quinn" The Blonde greeted her cheerfully, although Lou could sense the slight hesitation in her tone, not all that sure on how she was going to be perceived, she had after-all bared who she now knew to be Lou's niece a few months ago. Quinn breathed a sigh of relief as Lou grinned at her, nodding a little to let her know she knew.
"It's nice to finally meet you Quinn"
"I'm Finn" The tall footballer jumped in, a smirk on his face. Lou didn't fail to notice the disappointed look Quinn shot him. She was staying well away from that relationship.
"I'm Brittany" Lou jumped as arms wrapped around her neck, the blonde ball of life hugging her tightly. "My cat reads my diary, like all the time, so I promise not to tell your secrets to my diary" Lou bit back a giggle, hugging her back.
"Thanks. I'm sure your cat only does it to check on you, you know, so he always has your back"
Santana laughed this time, before introducing herself. "I'm Santana, a lot of people think I come across rude, but I just tell them the truth you know? Anyway, you have a brilliant voice"
Lou nodded her thanks, before turning to the remainder of the group.
"I'm Mercedes, resident diva" She grinned.
"I'm Sam" A blonde, Justin Bieber look-a-like smiled at her. Turning to the last Gleek to introduce themselves, Lou felt a blush begin to make its way up her neck.
"I'm Mike" The tall Asian smiled at her, she noticed how his eyes lit up when he smiled.
"Secret ninja" Puck put in, causing a few laughs.
"I'm still finding it hard to fathom how someone as pretty as you is related to someone like Puck" Mike added, his own blush creeping around his ears.
"Alright Chang, stop hitting on my sister" Puck warned, although he noticed the way she was smiling back at his friend.

Lou pushed her locker door closed, slinging her bag onto her shoulder and opening her water bottle to take a drink, as she turned; she frowned as the sight of an oversized jock, slushy in hand, smirking as he moved quicker towards his target. Turning to look at the unsuspecting girl opposite her, Lou frowned as she realised it was Rachel. Five large strides and she found herself stood between the two, hand pressed hard on her bottle as she sprayed the idiot in the eyes with her water. Grasping the slushy from his hand, she tipped it over his head with a satisfied chuckle.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" The jock scraped the cold ice from his eyes, glaring down at her. "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO YOU JUST MESSED WITH?"
"The question is, do you know who you just messed with?" She raised an eyebrow, noticing Mike running towards the scene from the corner of her eye. "I'm not afraid of bullies like you and I also don't appreciate being spoken to like that. Now if I were you I'd go clean up, I've heard the colouring can stick in your hair for a few weeks"
Smirking as he stomped out, she turned to Rachel who was looking at her with gratitude and horror, Lou was surprised that you could even look both of those things at the same time.
"Lou, I'm thankful, I really am, but I.. Do you..."
"Do you realise what you've probably just gone and got yourself into?" Mike cut in as Rachel gawped at her. "So you may be too pretty to be Puck's sister, but you have his attitude right down" Shaking his head, he turned to Rachel. "You okay Rach?"
Rachel nodded, closing her locker. "Thank you again Lou, but..."
"Don't worry, I got this" Mike smiled as Rachel smiled thankfully, leaning over to hug Lou quickly before Mike had an arm around her shoulder guiding her down the hall.
"I'm supposed to be meeting Puck for lunch" She pointed out.
"I know. He had maths last period, so he skipped, he's usually a few minutes late to his locker, so he should be there now" Mike smirked as he spotted his mohawked friend at his locker. "Yo Puckerman, we need to talk about your sister here"

Puck shook his head once more, running a hand across his face as he paced the length of the classroom.
"Noah, he's an asshole, after everything you told me he needed a taste of his own medicine" Lou spoke up in her defence.
"I know how much of an asshole he is Lou, the whole school knows how much of an asshole he is, I used to be one of those assholes, but you can't expect that to just be it, you slushy him and he comes to his senses"
"He's going to be out to get you now" Mike replied seriously. "Any given chance, he'll be there trying to get revenge"
"There's no way I'm letting that happen. I'll kill the bastard if he so much as touches her" Puck spat.
"Noah, I'm not afraid of him, nor am I a little girl that needs protecting by the two of you"

Lou felt her first taste of a slushy facial that afternoon, once the stinging had died down, she'd scooped some from her face, tasting it with a smile. Cherry, could have been worse.
She turned from her locker to see a few of the students left in the hall staring at her in shock.
"C'mon, I have some spare clothes you can borrow" Santana had gripped her hand guiding her towards the girls changing rooms and throwing her a pair of skinny jeans and a light blue tank top.
"Thank you" Lou had finally replied as she threw her now damp hair up into a loose ponytail. "Noah and Mike warned me, I guess this is war now"
Santana laughed, shaking her head a little. "As much as I should be warning you against this, I can't help but think if anyone can win this constant battle against Karofsky, it's you. You wouldn't mind if I join your side would you?"
"I'd love all the back-up I could get" She admitted, before thanking Santana as she passed her bag over. Santana smiled as the two of them left, heading to Santana's locker so that she could collect her own bag.
Santana smirked as she noticed the concern on Mike's face, although she was pretty positive she'd seen something akin to lust cross the boy's features as he took in Lou's new outfit.
"He got you didn't he?" Mike spoke through gritted teeth, at the nod, Mike shook his head angrily, before he slipped his letterman jacket off passing it to her. She looked down at it, before looking back up at him confused. "It's cold out there and I'm guessing he got your jacket too?"
She smiled, taking it from him and slipping it on before hugging him. "Thank you"
"Giving someone your letterman jacket is the first step towards wanky" Santana whispered into Lou's ear, laughing as she watched her blush.
Both of them were brought from their exchange when Mike's bag was dropped to the floor, knocking Lou's feet slightly, Mike had already took off down the hallway, a shout of "PUCK, DON'T" floating down after him.
