CHAPTER ONE

In My Place

I was lost

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed

If you go, if you go

Leave me down here on my own

Then I'll I wait for you

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Come back and sing

Waiting on her used to be a drag… Watching her spend all of her time with other people. It sucked.

But now, I'm just sitting here, wishing it was me she was leaning against. Wishing like a pansy that I was the one she cried to.

I've messed up. Yeah, I know, Noah Puckerman admitting to his mistakes. So I'm not the ass I used to be, sue me. But I know I've screwed up our relationship. I've screwed up what we had together, even if it was a secret… God, I just want that baby.

Quinn will realize it. Finn isn't going to be around forever. I want to tell him he's not the sperm donor so freaking bad. I just want to watch his face as he finds out how stupid he's been. He shouldn't get to hold my kid. He shouldn't get to hold my girl…

I guess I can wait. It's not the best plan, but I know it'll pay off in the end. I really want to win her back. I can picture her singing. Papa Don't Preach… A classic, babe. That's what she is. A classic.

So I'll just have to pay my dues. I know I'm just a dumb teenager, but eventually, I'll be there to take care of her. I've already decided I love her.

I guess being in my place isn't so bad. I can level with it because I know, in the end, I'll do whatever it takes to get her back.

"Puck." The voice is smooth like a single note of a song. I love that voice.

"Yeah?"

"You're blocking my locker."

Okay, so this isn't going to be the conversation to prove my point…

I stand up straight, look her in the eyes. And then, I walk away.

Come back and sing…

This is the first of an eight chapter Ipod shuffle fiction tracing the lives of Quinn and Puck. The chapters progress as the time in their lives, each bringing them further into the future.

This first chapter is called In My Place and it is alluding to the song by Coldplay. I do not own the lyrics, the song or the characters of Glee. The next chapter is called Wash Away Those Years.

Thank you for reading and I love reviews! Let me know what you thought and check back each day for an update.
