Here I am! And here there is the first chapter of the sequel of "Welcome to New Directions"!

Hope you guys will like this one just as much as WtND (really, I couldn't ask for a better response for it!) and if you have ideas on what the name of the band should be... Please, let me know! It's still nameless 'cause the names I come up with are SO lame it hurts.

Please, review it and let me know if you liked what you have read so far! I'm always so nervous when I post a story so feedbacks are HIGHLY appreciated! (Remember: English is not my first language and the chapter is not beta'd!)

Now I leave you to the story!

He put one last thing in his suitcase.

He couldn't believe he was really doing that.

His eyes fell on her, making his heart break in million pieces. "Please, babe. Don't look at me like that" he begged, closing the suitcase and easing it on the floor before sitting on their bed heavily.

Rachel slid until she was sitting on his lap, laying her head on his shoulder as her hand stopped right above his heart. She remained silent for awhile until she barely whispered "I'm going to miss you so much. I know this is the right thing for you and for Finn and Sam. I'm actually happy for the three of you. I really am but... I just need some time to be selfish and mourn the fact that I won't hug you or kiss you or just be in the same room as you for a long time. I'm going to miss you so much".

Puck closed his eyes and kissed her forehead, inhaling deeply her scent, so familiar and perfect to him.

It sucked that he had to go to the other side of the country because the label they were working with decided to ditch them to focus on an auto-tuned, stuck-up pop princess. They were so furious when they found out. The work of 4 years was about to be thrown down the drain. 4 years of restless nights, of fights within the group to reach the perfect sounds and of excitement when they felt like they were close to perfection... all done. Game over.

However they weren't the only ones to think that all that was bullshit. Tedd, one of the technicians who was working with them, got so mad when he heard the news, telling everybody that they were stupid for ditching some talented musicians for an insipid baby that couldn't hold a note to save her life. He also said that their work was amazing and not to worry; he would had helped them finding a new label to go on with their work.

And that he did. He called in some favors and sent a demo to another label. The big bosses loved what they had heard and couldn't wait to start working with the guys.

Fucking fantastic, right?

Puck thought that too. Until he found out that the label, based in Los Angeles, wanted the guys to work in their Californian studios.

After acknowledging that info, Puck was about to say no.

How could he be that far away from Rachel for God knows how much time? And he wouldn't even ask her to go to California with him, putting her career on hold since she was finally getting recognized for her talent.

She won a Drama Desk for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical the year after the show opened and now it finally moved to Broadway. She was living her dream, enjoying every single second of it and loving the praise she was getting from everyone. There were even rumors of a possible Tony nomination for her! How the hell could he ask her to give up to all that?

They talked about everything that was happening and he told her that he decided to decline the offer. But she immediately told him that he was talking nonsense and that his dream was as important as hers. "You have to accept the offer, honey. If you don't, you'll regret it your whole life and I won't let this happen" she stated firmly.

Finn and Sam talked to Marley and Quinn as well and they all decided, with the blessing of their manager Jack (Puck's boss at the music store and retired professional guitarist), to accept the label's offer. And even if Noah was still skeptical about leaving Rachel alone in the city, she always was the positive one about it all.

Up until now, apparently.

He caressed her back soothingly and rocked her gently while holding her against his naked torso.

"What if you meet someone else and fall in love with her? There are a lot of beautiful women in Los Angeles" she told him sadly.

Noah stopped immediately and put some distance between the two of them, just enough to look her right in the eyes and say "You fucking kidding me right now, Rach?"

Her eyes fell, looking at her lap, as she explained herself "You are a very handsome man, Noah. And you are a musician. You will have tons of beautiful women falling at your feet. A lot of beautiful aspiring actresses and singers and... I know that you will make everyone fall in love with you".

He brushes her helix with the tip of his nose as he said "Too bad for them that I already have what I want. No one is hottest than you so..."

A small smile appeared on her face at that but she immediately replied "Be serious, Noah".

Puck placed a hand on her cheek and directed her face so she could look right into his eyes and told her "I'm dead serious. Rach, if you think that I'm going to fall in love with someone else you're fucking delusional. You are everything I need and want. Even if your fucking crazy most of the time".

His thumb brushed her cheek as his eyes roamed on her face, trying to take in all her perfect features, marking them in his brain since he didn't know how much time would pass for him to see them this close again.

Shit, he's going to fucking miss her like crazy.

Puck kissed her passionately, to show her just how much he loved her, as her nails digged into his shoulder, probably leaving some marks.

With heavy breath, she said against his lips "I love you honey. And I'm very proud of you... even if my heart breaks at the thought of you so far away from me".

"Still got tonight, babe" he said teasingly, wiggling his eyebrows to try lighting up the mood. "And I have every intention to fuck.." he stopped when he saw her glaring at him and changed his words "Fine, make love to you until your body begs me to stop", which made her giggle.

She yelped when, with a blunt movement, she found herself pinned against the mattress, her boyfriend's body keeping her in her place.

"I'm going to miss this too" she said as her hands slid down Noah's back, ending just right above his pants.

"Of-fucking-course you're going to miss the Puckerone loving. I know I'm going to go insane without my dose of Berry Pie. And without that thing you do with your tongue when you go down on me..."

Rachel turned bright red and hit him on his arm, hissing "Stop it! Don't be so crude!".

He couldn't help but laugh out loud. His girl was fucking adorable.

Then she said in a small voice "Of course I'm going to miss making love to you but I'm going to also miss the way that your body moves when you laugh".

Then she inhaled deeply and pecked his shoulder "I'm going to miss the way that you smell".

Her hands slid up his back again and she felt his muscles flex in reaction. "I'm going to miss the way your muscles move under my touch" she whispered sultry.

The short hair on the back of his neck rose as she passed her hand over the back of his head, fingers sliding and playing with his perfectly trimmed mohawk. "I'm going to miss playing with your hair like that" she said sadly, a small smile playing on her lips.

Her eyes finally met his, a darker shade than the usual hazel she loved so much. She was about to say something else when he slanted his lips on her, kissing her hungrily and passionately, at first. Then, the kiss became more tender, sweeter as his hands slid carefully under her shirt.

They took their time, that night.

No rush.

Their bodies so in synch, sliding tenderly in that perfect pace that was just theirs. Fingers intertwined as they reached their climaxes almost together.

"Can we just stay like this forever?" Noah murmured against her shoulder, leaving open kisses and enjoying the little noises she was making while his body was still on top of hers.

Her hand palmed his cheek and her nose nuzzled against his other one. "I know, honey. There's nothing I want more than just be with you like this. Not even a Tony".

This made him laugh and roll down her while keeping his hold around her body. His back met the cold mattress as her torso ended up on his more muscular one.

He chuckled a little more and said "I'm flattered, Rach". In response, she smiled brightly and stated "Oh, you should".

He kept his promise, making love to her until they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Rachel hugged her brother and let him in her apartment.

"Quinn and Sam are waiting in the car. Are you ready?" Finn asked her and, after her positive answer, he asked again "Is he ready?", walking in the kitchen and opening the fridge to grab something to munch on.

"Yes, I'm fucking ready, you asshole, and stay the fuck away from my fridge!" Puck yelled from the bedroom.

He walked in the living room just to see Rachel giggling while looking at her brother stuffing his mouth with pieces of cake that the brown-eyed girl baked the day before.

Noah glared at him and growled "Shit, Hudson! That was my cake! Why the hell do you have to eat all our shit? I mean, I know Evan's cooking sucks but damn! Get your own girlfriend to cook you shit if you're not good to do that yourself!"

Rachel got up and rolled her eyes, stating "Now, children, don't argue for such trivial things". She walked to her boyfriend, pecked lightly his lips and walked in to the kitchen, coming back with two lunch boxes. With a bright smile, she gave one box to each man and clapped her hands together, bouncing on her feet as she told them "I made you guys some organic sandwiches and some other healthy food. God knows how awful and gross is the food you would eat on the plane!"

Finn shoot her a happy and awkward grin, due to the fact that he had still his mouth stuffed with cake and crumbles were all over his chin. So he just grabbed the lunch box and hugged her tightly, before grabbing one of Puck's bags and hurrying out the house.

She watched her brother with an amused smile and then looked at her boyfriend, asking "You ready? Did you pick everything up?".

He smirked and, after picking up his other luggage, he waited for her to button up her coat and then he picked her up, securing her on his shoulder making her squeal out loud.

"Yep. Now I got everything. We can go" he said and, after giving one last look at what he called 'home' for the past 4 years, he made her close the door and walked down the stair and to the car.

At the car, Sam and Finn were trying to organize the suitcase to create some pace to fit Puck's ones in the trunk as well while Quinn was sitting on the passenger side and she started laughing at them as soon as she spotted the couple.

Her laugh, though, wasn't her usual one, cute and real.

The blonde beauty was wearing big sunglasses and her nose was slightly red. She was taking this just as bad as Rachel and, in all honesty, Puck was kinda glad that Quinn and Marley were hurting just as much. Don't get him wrong, he knew that that was a shitty thought but he just wanted his girl to have someone who could understand her and this the whole situation and maybe they could lean on each other for the duration of their stay in LA. He wanted her Rach to be taken good care of.

The ride to the airport was quite uneventful with the guys joking around, making fun of Finn who was still chewing on one of the snacks in his lunch box, while the girls spent their time talking about some girly TV show they were obsessed with.

For the whole time, Rachel's hand didn't leave Puck's tight and he really couldn't complain about it.

But the mood changed immediately as soon as they set foot into the JFK.

Rachel's hand held Noah's in a death grip and Quinn's face was tense as Sam looked at the ground while his arm was resting on his girlfriend's shoulders, keeping her close. Finn was walking in front of the two couples in silence, pushing the cart with all their luggage on.

It' not until they had done the check-in that Rachel spoke. "I think LA hates me" she stated sadly.

"Why is that?" Sam asked right after, frowning a little.

"Well," she started "it's taking away from me one of my dearest friend and two of the men I love the most. What am I supposed to think?".

Sam smiled fondly at his brunette friend and nod, kissing Quinn's temple affectionately as Finn tried to lighten up his sister's mood and Puck held her hand even tighter, staring at her with a sad smile.

When the time had come to go separate ways, Puck hugged Quinn tightly, making the woman giggle in response.

Then he waited for Rachel to say goodby to her brother. He could hear her say to him "And eat properly. I know how much you love junk food but, please, try to eat healthy! And if you spend time at the beach, put on the highest protection. You don't want to end up to the ER like that one time in Avon lake, do you?".

"Don't worry Rachie. I can look after myself" he responded quite amused by what his sister was saying.

He hugged her tight, lifting her up easily and spinning her around. She held him even tighter and muttered "Take care of yourself, Finnie. And call me and dads as often as you can, okay?".

He nodded and kissed her forehead, lingering there for a couple of seconds.

By the face she was making, Pack could tell that she was barely holding it together.

In fact, as soon as she was in her boyfriend's arms, she started to cry quietly.

He rubbed her back as he pecked her neck and whispered "Babe, please, don't cry. Seeing you cry kills me".

She sniffled a couple of times, trying to calm herself down before looking in his eyes and telling him with a broken voice "I don't want to say goodbye to you".

He caressed her cheeks and kissed her sweetly before saying softly "I know, babe. I don't want it either. Just say the words I stay here with you. You know I will do that" but she shook her head and head and whispered "No, it wouldn't be fair. You have to go and let the world know how amazing you three are. You guys will have everyone under your spell in no time. I'm sure of that".

With his forehead against hers, he breathed deeply and muttered "I fucking love you. You know that, right?"

Rachel nodded, smiling sadly, and whispered back "I love you too, honey. So much."

Suddenly, a voice broke their little bubble.

"Puck, we have to go" Sam said, holding a silently crying Quinn in his arms.

The mohawked man looked at his best friend and nodded, kissing one last time his girlfriend and saying to her "I'll call you when we land, okay?"

The brown-eyed girl nodded and smiled at him, waving her hand as the threesome walked away from her and her blonde friend.

Noah didn't look back at her until he passed the security check and, if his heart wasn't already broken, it was now that he looked at his girl wiping furiously her cheeks, leaning on her friend with the saddest expression ever.

He waved at her and she smiled sadly back at him, blowing a kiss.

As soon as he's seated in one of those fucking uncomfortable plastic chairs, waiting for their plane to be called, he types a message.

To: Satan "Take care of her while I'm away"

He put his head in his hands and breathed deeply to calm down a little. He could hear his two friends talk next to him but he didn't really care right now. His phone beeped and he hurried to read the answer.

From: Satan "On it. I would have done it even w/out ur text, Puckerman. Take care of Tweedledee and Tweedledum and be safe. Make LA ur bitch"

So... what do you guys think?! I can't wait whether you liked this chapter! Thank you for reading it, see you soon lovelies!
