A/N Ok so you know when you just have lost your muse? Well I have, don't worry I'm still going to write chapters to my stories, but Mikel was a struggle, and this was floating around in my head so I thought rather than struggle with High School What a Joy! All evening I'll write this instead. If you have any ideas for my stories please toss them my way, make my muse return to me! :D

Three days

"Rachel!" screamed Finn bursting into the choir room after his fast moving girlfriend of 6 months "I promise that it was a onetime thing"

"No Finn, sleeping with her when I was dating Jesse and lying about it, that was a onetime thing, me finding you in the janitors closet, al-a-Puckerman with the same woman is called cheating" Rachel announced to the glee club, surprisingly calm, the only sign of her anger the high colour of her cheeks.

"Hey" Puck protested getting to his feet "I only use the janitors closet if I have to, and I aint had to in ages"

"I apologise Noah, but that is not exactly the point right now" Rachel said briskly as Santana entered the choir room scuttling to her seat "the point is my 'boyfriend' who 'loves' me was just found by myself and Jacob Ben-Israel engaging in sexual relations in the janitors closet with Santana Lopez" Rachel said turning back to Finn, having done the air marks around the two words in sarcasm.

"Dude you cheated on Berry?" Puck said turning to his ex best friend "that is so fucked up"

"Why she probably deserved?" Mercedes snorted

"Yep" Quinn said laughing from next to her new best friends Kurt and Mercedes.

"Rachel!" Mr Schuester said warningly and exasperated in the same tone.

"Oh ok course" Rachel snorted "Quinn cheats and lies and she gets the sympathy and all the well wishes in the world, my boyfriend cheats on ME and I'm the one who 'deserves' it, god this is the most hypocritical group in the world, and don't even get me started on you Mr Schuester, perhaps you should learn the proper aspects of teacher-pupil relationships, because you certainly like over stepping the mark. To be frank sir my love life has little too nothing to do with you. So perhaps with all due respect you could butt out"

"Whoa!" Matt and Mike breathed out in shock and respect.

"Fuck yeah" Puck said grabbing Rachel's shoulders and shaking her with pride.

"Rach I promise that it didn't mean anything" Finn pleaded.

"Let me put this into a way you will understand Hudson" Rachel said bitingly "talk to me again and that little Cinco-De-Mayo problem you have will never affect you again, surprised you lasted long enough the first time we had sex let alone with Lopez"

Finn blanched and cupped himself in protection, as Puck shook Rachel's shoulders again and Mike and Matt laughed.

"Christ Manhands" Santana said rolling her eyes "just doing you a favour in teaching your boyfriend how to have sex"

"Yes of course you need to validate your actions in such away, but don't worry Santana I'm sure you will love the school knowing every aspect of you love life now that you stupid and naive enough to not lock the door and allowed the pervert that is Jacob Ben-Israel to escape with photos of yourself and Finn. It will be nice not to be the target of the jokes for the remainder of the semester"

"What are you talking about" Kurt snorted "everyone still hates you"

"Yes but I don't have the name of my ex boyfriend tattooed across my backside" Rachel laughed "oh and I made sure that Jacob had your fathers email address" she added laughingly "he's extremely Catholic is he not? Well have fun enjoying the photos"

"Rach I love you right now" Puck said laughing harder, Matt and Mike doing the same.

"There is no need to be a bitch RuPaul" Quinn shouted.

"Whatever bitch" Rachel laughed "it's not like I care anymore, the hypocritical attitudes of the members of this team once again, is the last straw, enjoy winning Sectionals without me" she said with an airy wave turning to walk away.

"What are you doing!" they all screeched, minus Puck, Matt and Mike.

"What? I will be a star without any of you, I don't need you, you need me, and everyone is replaceable Kurt even me" Rachel said "just think in 5 years time when I am winning my first Tony I won't have to thank any of you" with a bright smile she left the room, slamming to door behind her.

"That was epic" Mike gushed "so awesome"

"It really was" Matt and Puck agreed.

"Well seeing as we don't have twelve members I'm going after B" Puck said following Rachel who was walking down the hallway, practically skipping with happiness. Running after her, he caught her around the waist and swung her around "so proud of you" he whispered into her ear, now that they were alone he was able to act like Noah, Rachel's best friend, and not Puck.

"Thank you" Rachel said exhilarated "wow I have wanted to say and do that for so long!"

"It was awesome and you got rid of Finnesa"

"Yes I wasn't really planning that Noah" Rachel said rolling her eyes "I wasn't really planning on finding my boyfriend in the closet with your ex-girlfriend with the biggest gossip in the world"

"Yeah I can see how that would suck, but still he didn't deserve you, just as I have been saying for six months"

"Yes Noah" Rachel breathed out in exasperation of their old argument.

"Sorry" he said as they walked to his car "you ok?"

"Nothing that a tub of ice cream and a romantic comedy cannot cure" Rachel said "the good thing with Finn disappointing me and letting me down so many times is that I am a expert at dealing with the aftermath"

"Um well, do you want some company?" he asked scratching the back of his head.

"No Noah" Rachel said smiling at his disgusted face "I will see you tomorrow" she said kissing him on the cheek and getting into her car before driving off, not seeing Puck bring his finger tips to the spot she had kiss and sigh.

Following behind them though Matt and Mike did and glanced at each other with a knowing smirk, the two of them may have been the quiet members of glee but that meant that they saw more than they should. They knew Puck had it bad for Rachel, they had known longer than Puck had, the week the two of them had hooked up they had seen Puck happier then they had ever seen, and angrier than ever after she broke up with him.

"So how long dude?" Matt asked elbowing him in the side as they met him.

"No idea what you're talking about" Puck grunted sullenly tearing his eyes away from Rachel's retreating car.

"How long you been in love with Rachel Berry?" Mike sung out hopping around his friends energetically, not shy when he was with his two best friends.

"I aint in love with B" Puck said moving towards his car.

"Sure you're not" Matt said arching an eyebrow knowingly.

"Whatever, she just broke up with Finnefer, and it's not like she wants me anyway"

"You can't know that until you try" Mike said still hopping from foot to foot.

"Yes I can" Puck said slamming his car door closed and driving away before they could say anymore.

"Let's go see Rachel" Matt said turning to the energetically moving Mike with a smile.

"I thought we don't get involved"

"Today we do, plus Rach was kind of right, that in there was complete bullshit, they supported Quinn's fuck up but bitch Rachel out when she's the victim" Matt said staring his own car and following after Rachel.

Sitting down on her comfy sofa with a blanket, a tub of non-dairy ice cream and the Proposal in her DVD player Rachel was prepared for a comfortable evening on her own with a happy ending guaranteed, only to be dragged from her spot by a knocking at her door.

"Hola" Mike yelled as she opened the door "Oh ice cream" he said snatching the tub out of her and walking in, Rachel's spoon already in his mouth "this tastes weird"

"Hi Rach" Matt said in a more sedate turn of phrase as Mike launched himself onto the sofa still eating the ice cream.

"Hello" Rachel said in bewilderment "can I help the both of you"

"We're to hang out" Mike announced "this is a boring film" he jumped to his feet and pulled out a different DVD "awesome Lord of the Rings extended edition, but we will skip all the Frodo and Sam bits, cos they suck" he said putting the Two Towers in.

"Just go with it" Matt suggested laughing, gently leading the slightly stunned Rachel back to her seat and kicking Mike down the sofa to make room for them, Rachel opened her mouth to question why the two quietest people in glee had taken it upon themselves to come and find her and spend time with her, but for once just shrugged her shoulders and accepted it. They had never did anything to hurt her, and considering their temperaments she didn't think they would, and she was sick of questioning everyone intentions.

Matt seeing the thought process flickering through her eyes smiled reassuringly at her and hugged her around the shoulders a little while Mike became engrossed in the film quickly.

"You ok?" Matt asked quietly "I thought there would be crying and wailing and stuff"

"Too used to Finn letting me down I suppose, though actually I am also surprised at my lack of dramatics "

"Maybe you weren't into him as much as you thought" Mike said still munching his way through Rachel's ice cream "seriously this tastes weird" he motioned with his spoon.

"That is because it is dairy free" Rachel explained thinking over his first statement as he glanced down and made a face, before eating more of the ice cream to Matt and Rachel's amusement, rolling his eyes at his best friend Matt laughed a little.

"He's not like this in school" Rachel whispered

"He's shy believe it or not" Matt said quirking an eyebrow at his friend and shaking his head again "your his friend now, so you see the real him"

"That's nice" Rachel said "Oh I perhaps should text Noah now that I am not watching a romantic comedy" she scrambled for her phone and pulled it out texting Puck "he was making a face at the romantic comedy but I'm sure he would like to watch this"

"You like him, no you love him" Mike squealed loudly, he had a sixth sense for these things, and Matt after seeing it for all these years knew he was right before the blush travelled over Rachel's cheeks and her mumbled denial.

"You so do!" Mike yelled loudly jumping up and down on the sofa jsut as the knocking on the door started on the back door.

"That was quick"

"Oh he lives on the other side of the garden fence" Rachel said getting up to let him, Puck halted accusingly looking at his friends as he entered the living room and seeing their too innocent faces. Sitting down on the sofa he shot them both looks as they made themselves smaller and pulled Rachel down next to him, so she was squashed between him and the arm.

"A week" Matt whispered as Puck tossed his arm around Rachel's shoulder.

"Three days" Mike disagreed laughing.
