A/N: Ok, this is my first fan fiction ever! I love Mike & Rachel so it will be a story about them on the later chapters! (and other couples too!) It's a bit of humor, a bit of drama & a bit of everything! I hope you read & review! Thanks ;) - moony
Disclaimer: I don't own glee! I wish I did, cause then Mike Chang & Noah Puckerman would always be shirtless! :D
Noah Puckerman was in the living room of the Rutheford home on a Saturday night, when he heard the doorbell ring. Since he's been living there for the past few months, he went to get it. When he opened the door he saw a small brunette standing there.
"Ok, not that I'm complaining, but last time I saw you, you were a lot shorter, didn't have that awful mohawk and you were a little less cuter" said the girl.
"Excuse me? Who the hell are you?" Puck asked.
"I don't give my name to strangers" said the girl.
"I'm Puck, babe" he said smirking.
She arched her eyebrow, "Puck? What did you do to your mother to get that name?" she said with a chuckle. "And don't call me babe" She said getting serious.
"Well if I knew your name, I wouldn't have to call you babe." He said, still smirking.
"Oh, right, I'm Rachel, I was looking for Matt-" she was cut off by him saying,
"Wait, your Rachel? Matt's Rachel?"
She looked at him, a little confused, "Um, well I'm not really Matt's, but I am Rachel, Rachel Berry."
"Oh right, I meant the Rachel Matt won't shut up about! Come on in." He said moving aside so she could come in.
When she went inside, she was a little nervous, she still wasn't completely comfortable around boys, and she just wanted to see Matt. He was like the brother she never had. She knew she would be safe here. She looked at the house and saw a freakishly tall guy in the couch, eating chips, a tall Asian guy reading a book, and then Matt.
"Matty?" Rachel asked, really excited. She hasn't seen him since they were six.
Matt looked up to see who called him that, because really no one had ever called him that since he was six. But it couldn't be, could it? Oh my God.
"RACHEL?" He said running towards the petite brunette, hugging her and spinning her around. "Oh my God! I haven't seen you in forever! What are you doing here? I have missed you so much! Is everything ok? You look great!"
The other three boys watched a little confused and heard Rachel say.
"Matty, I need to breathe remember?"
"Right, sorry I was a little surprised! Guys, this is Rachel, Rachel this is Finn," he said pointing to the guy eating chips, "that's Mike," he said pointing to the Asian boy, "and I guess you already met Puck."
"Hey" all the guys said at the same time smiling at her.
"Um, hi" she said. "I'm sorry I didn't know you were busy, I can come back tomorrow-"
"Don't be stupid Rach, you're staying here! By the way, what brings you here?" He asked.
She looked nervous at the four guys before looking at Matt again. She bit her lip and said, looking down
"I ran away."
"WHAT?" Matt, Mike and Finn yelled.
"Dude, that's totally bad ass! I like you already" Puck said laughing.
"Shut up Puckerman! Rach, what happened?" Matt asked, really worried.
"I knew Puck wasn't your name, unless it's Puck Puckerman witch sucks even worse."
"Rach!" Matt said again.
She sighed and said, "Can I talk to you… in private?" she said looking around the room.
"Come on" Matt said leading her to his room.
"Wow, your room hasn't changed that much. Oh my God I can't believe you still have this." She said grabbing the bear she had given him for his fifth birthday.
"So, who are the little rascals?" She asked.
He laughed at that and answered, "My friends from school, Noah Puckerman, or Puck, has stayed here for a couple of months since his dad threw him out, Mike Chang has lived here for about a year since his parents died" he said with a sad look on his face. "and Finn Hudson, he doesn't really live here but he might as well do 'cause he's here all the time."
"Wow, can I join your little shelter?" she said joking.
"Rachel" he said in a serious tone, "What happened?"
She looked up at him with a sad smile and said, "I just got sick of everything."
"Rach, even if I haven't seen you for ten years, I still know when you're lying. Come on, tell me what's wrong?"
She gave up, knowing he was right and started telling him the whole story. "Ok but let me talk, and when I'm done, you talk ok?" He nodded smiling at the Rachel he always knew. "Well, you remember that when my dad died I went to Chicago with my grandmother right?" he nodded, so she continued, "Well when I was about nine, she got really sick, and she couldn't take care of me anymore so…" she paused, not looking at him in the eyes. "They sent me to a foster home."
"WHAT?" he half yelled.
"You said you wouldn't talk until the end" she snapped.
"Sorry, go on."
"So anyway, I was there for a couple of months, until the Humphreys adopted me. They were this high-class couple that pretended to be perfect but really wasn't. Anyway, they were always trying to be something they weren't, I mean he cheated on her like every single night and she would get drunk most of the time so I just got sick of it and ran away." She said, but he looked at her and she knew that he knew her better than anyone else, and that there was something more.
"I hate that you know me that well" she said sitting on the bed.
"Rach, tell me the whole story." He said in a soft voice.
She sighed and her eyes filled up with tears. "The Humphrey's best friends were the St. James. They had a son, Jesse, we started dating last year, but I broke up with him because he was a jerk. When I told the Humphreys, they didn't like it. They said that he was a wonderful guy and that I should get back together with him. That night, I went to a party, and Jesse was there, he was drunk and he said he wanted to talk, so we went upstairs and he…" she stopped when a tear fell down her cheek. He went to hug her.
"Rach? Did he hurt you? I swear if he laid a hand on you I'm going to kill him!" he said getting angry.
"He…he almost raped me." She said tears coming down her face.
Matt was furious, he loved Rachel like a little sister, and even if they hadn't seen each other in ten years, they still knew they were the same.
"A friend of mine came in and saw it and he stopped it, I was really scared Matty. And then I told the Humphreys and they didn't believe me. Nobody did. Blaine was the only one who believed me 'cause he was the one who found me, so I stayed with him until I had the money to come back here." She said between sobs.
"When did this happened?" he asked with anger in his voice.
"About four months ago." She said in a soft voice.
"Why didn't you tell me you weren't with your grandmother anymore?" he asked. "You could've moved in with us."
"I know Matt, I said that, but I was nine, no one really listen to me, I didn't have a choice." She said.
"Well, what about later Rach? Last year? The year before? Why didn't you call me? I could've talk to my mom!" Matt said getting angry, he wasn't really angry at her he was just mad he wasn't there to protect her from that jackass.
"Matt I came here because after what almost happened, I got really scared! I couldn't stay there anymore! No one believed me, and I couldn't go to school and see him there and… ugh I got scared of every boy around me that wasn't Blaine! But I knew it wouldn't happen with you, so I needed to be around you! So I'm here now!" she started yelling.
"I know Rachel, but you could've told me! I could have get you out of there! I just… I need to think! I'm going for a walk!" he said walking out of the room.
He passed the living room, with Rachel walking behind him, and saw the boys still playing video games and yelled to them "I'm going for a walk" and slammed the door behind him.
The three boys turn to look at Rachel with completely confused looks on their faces. She looked at them, then at Puck and said,
"So, your real name is Noah huh?" the three boys looked at her, knowing she wasn't going to talk about the whole Matt thing, and went back to the video games.
'This is gonna be a long night…' she thought.
Hope you liked it! Please let me know! (sorry i'm really nervous about this haha) xoxo
