Nothing Like the Movies

Chapter 1

Sam was laying on the couch in the livingroom of his apartment, his eyes were focused on the TV-screen in front of him, he had DVD-cases laying on the coffe table, an empty bowl of popcorn was placed on the floor, a soda can was standing on the table. The titles of the DVDs might not the ones that a young man in Sam's age would show that he owned or even confess that he watch when he was alone.

The DVD-cases had titles, like 'Pretty Woman', 'An Officer and A Gentleman', 'Four Weddings & A Funeral', 'Sleepless in Seattle', 'When Harry Met Sally', it was the typical romcoms, that no man in his mid-20's would confess that he watch if he wasn't with his girlfriend.

These films were one of the things that made Sam believe that he could find love just like everyone else would. Tonight it was An Officer and A Gentleman that was in the player.

All of his friends knew that he was watching his movies tonight and that meant that they shouldn't be calling him but somehow that always happened, always, every time that Sam was watching one of his movies his friends managed to call him and tonight was no different from the other nights.

Sam let out a sigh as he answered his cellphone, he saw a picture of one of his best friends appear, Noah Puckerman, everyone called him Puck, as Sam answered the phone he started to look for the remote so that he would be able to pause the movie but it seemed like he had miss placed the remote.

"Puck," Sam said as he let out a small sigh, he knew what was coming.

"Dude, you should come here," Puck said, and Sam just shook his head, he knew where Puck was, probably some local bar, and just drinking some cheap beer before he left the bar to head towards some night club to find some girl he could hook up with for the night and who still remembered him from his days in the Big Brother house.

Yes, Sam friend Puck, was the same Puck that had spent some time in the Big Brother house, he was a reality show star and not one that made a lot of money.

Sam ran one of his hands though his blonde hair, and closed his eyes, and licked his lips before he continued his conversation with Puck, "I can't," Sam said and he glanced at the screen, just to see how Richard Gere swiped Debra Winger in his arms and carried her. Sam had to do his best to keep his tears back; he thought he was doing a pretty good job doing just that.

But it appeared that Sam hadn't done as well as he thought with hiding his tears from his friend, "Dude, are your crying?" Sam dried tears away from his eyes as he looked at the screen and listened to what Puck was saying, "You need to man up."

Sam shook his head he knew what was coming from his friend; they all knew what movie, well what kind of genre that Sam had been watching.

"What movie was it this time?" Puck asked.

"You know," Sam said and he looked down on his thighs.

"What was it this time, My Big Fat Greek Wedding," Puck asked and Sam heard the snort that his friend was about to let out.

"Actually I was watching the Star Wars trilogy." Sam replied and he looked at the TV, the sound was low, but he could hear the music to Up Where We Belong, playing and he was almost sure that Puck heard it too.

"Sammy boy, don't lie to me," Puck said and Sam let out a sigh, he knew that he never would be able to get away with lying about what movie he had been watching.

"Puck, what do you want from me," Sam asked as he found the remote and stopped the movie and pressed the button so that he could eject the disc from the player.

"Come down to, Danny's, Mike and me need you here," Puck said and Sam could hear gleam that was in his friends voice, "just for a couple of beers, you need to get out from that apartment."

"Fine," Sam said and he threw his free hand up in the air, he heard the cheering that Puck was doing on the other side of the line, "just a couple of beers."

"That's all that I am asking for."

Sam hung up the phone and he started to look for his keys, wallet and whatever other things that he would need for the night. The blonde haired boy grabbed a sports jacket as he walked out from his apartment.

Sam stood outside the doors to the local bar, Danny's, he looked at the door, he knew that he had agreed to come down for a couple of beers, but he had a feeling that this wasn't just going to be a couple of beers. It never was just a couple of beers when it came to Puck, it might be a couple of beers at Danny's but he knew that at the end of the night there would have been more than a couple of beers.

Sam ran his hand through his blonde hair before he walked inside the bar, he looked around and he saw two of his best friends sitting at one of the booths, he shook his head as he saw the glasses that were standing in the table, Puck was probably already drunk or at least half way there.

Sam passed by the counter and order a beer, and he took it as he walked to the booth were Puck and Mike were sitting.

"Look, Mikey, Sammy is here," Puck said and he reached for Sam's arm so that he could pull him down on a chair.

"I see him," Mike said and looked at Sam, "sorry about that, but it's nice to see you."

"I can just agree with you," Sam said as he sat down next to Mike, "so how are you, haven't seen you in a while."

"He is busy with Tina," Puck said and tried to make some kind of puking noise.

"I have been spending time with my girlfriend," Mike said as he put epiphysis on the word girlfriend, "when I haven't been working," and working was the word of importance in the last part of the sentence.

"Puck is the one that has been drinking?" Sam asked as he shook his head looking at Puck and the glasses on the table, and the way that Mike was able to have a conversation with him.

"Yeah," Mike said and took a drink from his beer, "I think he had a run in with Lauren, and I think that he got some call from his dad too."

"Father and Lauren on the same day?" Sam asked and looked at Mike, the Asian nodded his head, "He can't seem to get a break but I thought that he was over Lauren."

"You aren't the only one who thought that," Mike said and he was about to say something more when his cell phone started to ring, Sam smiled when he heard the ringtone, Mike answered his phone and took a couple of steps away from the table so that he would be able to talk to the person that called him.

"Puck," Sam said as he tried to get his friend to look at him, "are you okay?" The young man with the Mohawk nodded his head as he looked at Sam.

"Yeah, I am fine," Puck said and he had a smirk on his lips as he looked in Mike's direction, Puck lifted on of his hands and made a whipping motion and sound. Sam looked down on the table, this, what was happening in front of him was maybe one of many reasons for why Puck didn't seem to be able to hold on to a girl.

"Sorry guys," Mike said as he came back to the table, "I have to go."

"You are whipped, Chang," Puck said and sat up and looked at the other man, "but you are my friend."

"That's nice to hear," Mike said, "I'll talk to you two later and don't do anything stupid."

"I would never do anything stupid," Puck said and smirked in Mike's direction.

"Puck, please, I don't have any bail money right now," Mike said as he let out a breath and he turned to Sam, "keep your eyes on him," Sam nodded his head, and Mike left Sam and Puck alone at Danny's.

"Now that Mr. Boring has left," Puck said and looked at Sam, "we can have some fun."

"I said a couple of beers," Sam said and gave Puck a pointed look.

"Put those fishy lips to use," Puck said and patted Sam on his head.

"What do you want me to do?" Sam asked as he got up from where he had been sitting.

"Order us some beers."

"Fine," Sam said and he walked up to the bar, and he tried to get the bartenders attention, just as he was about to order the beers, his phone started to ring, and as he took up from his pocket Sam looked at the caller ID and he saw that it was Puck that was calling him so he turned around and looked for his friend.

When Sam saw him he shook his head, and he answered the phone, "What did you want?"

"Buy two more beers," Puck answered Sam's question, Sam saw how Puck waved at him and at the table Puck was sitting with a couple of girls.

"Okay," Sam said and he ended the call and he turned back to the bartender, "four Guinness," the bartender nodded his head and Sam got his four beers, and he grabbed them and he walked back to the table with them.

"Sam, look what I found," Puck said as he placed both of his arms around the shoulders of the two girls.

"I can see what you found," Sam said and he placed the glasses on the table, he reached out his hand, "Sam," as he shook the two girls hands and got their names but he knew that tomorrow they would all be forgotten, "it was nice to meet you."

"So how long have you know Puck?" one of the girls asked, she would be known for the night as girl one.

"About five years," Sam said and took a drink of his beer, "I met him when I moved her from Tennessee."

"You moved to New York from Tennessee that much have been quite the change," girl two said and looked at Sam, and the blonde smiled back her.

"In the beginning but I met Puck and Mike, who isn't here right now," Sam said and he looked down on the table, he knew that this was going to be a long night.

Sam had no idea why he had chosen to come back to Puck's apartment after they had some more beers at Danny's, it had been a lot more than the two or three that Sam had agreed to over the phone. And then Puck had decided that it would be a great idea for them to bring the two girls that Puck had picked up Danny's with them.

Sam had one of the girls sitting next to him, and he did his best to have a conversation with her but there was something that made it hard for him to really talk to her in a way that would lead them to go on a date later on.

Sam glanced over to his right side where Puck was sitting, and next to his friends were the second girl, well the girl were more like sitting on Puck's lap and Puck had his hands moving all over her back and down to her butt, Sam turned away from the couple next to him, this was not how he was going to sit and watch Puck make out with some girl, the girl that Sam had been talking to had left, it had turned out that she wasn't after the same thing that he wanted.

"So how was it in the house," the girl asked as Puck had stopped what he was doing for a moment.

Puck looked at her, Sam on the other hand hid his face in his hands, he knew what was going to happen if the girl said yes after Puck had asked the question that he always asked when someone that he was going to hook up with asking him about his stint in the Big Brother house.

"Are you sure you want to talk about it?" Puck asked and Sam looked over at the girl shaking his head, he was almost pleading with the girl to say no.

But wasn't that luck this night, he almost never were, "yes," he took his head in his hands again, hiding his face in his hands.

"You know that it was kind of fun in the beginning but," Puck said and looked at the girl smirking, "then I got in this fight with someone the others in the house and it all turned upside down."

"I could never be locked in with people that I don't know for that long time," the girl said and Sam could see the look of admiration on the girl mixed with the need to get a chance to be with someone that was kind of famous.

"It was kind of hard," Puck said and looked at her, "You know I have it, if you would like to watch."

"I don't know," the girl said and she sucked her lower lip in between her teeth before she bit down on it, "you don't think it would be weird to watch yourself?"

"We'll watch it if you want to," Puck said and he reached for the remote so that he would be able to press play as soon as the girl agreed to watch Puck being a part of Big Brother, from three years ago.

"I don't think that we need to watch it," the girl said and she moved so that she was straddling Puck over his thighs, and he placed both of his hand on her hips, and he stood up, the girl hooked her legs around his waist. Their lips met in a couple of heated kisses, and Puck tried his best to put the girl down on the table, and letting some part of the press play on the remote control.

Sam did his best to try and look away from the train wreck that was about to happen next to him, and he still had no idea why he still was here, the girl that Puck had planned for him to hook up with had left and Sam should have done the same.

And from out of nowhere he was brought back to reality again, with the noise from the TV, it was playing the opening credits from big Brother, which meant that Puck somehow managed to turn on the TV.

"Look what happened," Puck said as he saw that it was on, "we can watch this now."

Sam had his elbow resting against his knee, and he rested his head in the palm of his hand as he looked to the side and saw what was happening. Sam stood up from the couch where he had been sitting trying to hide away from what was happening around him.

"I'm leaving," Sam said as he walked pass Puck and the girl on the couch, form what Sam was seeing, Puck had stopped completely with the idea of hooking up with her right now, and he was consumed with what happened on the screen in front of him.
