There are many words to describe Noah Puckerman. He was a bad ass of course, a stud, a man whore and many others that could be either negative or positive but one word that would be unexpected to describe him is lonely. And he was, big time. This feeling has been happening a lot lately, he could be in a crowded room with all his so-called friends and still feel out of place. And that is where exactly where he was in a crowded room at a party with a beer in one hand and Quinn's hand in the other. He is looking around at all the familiar faces that he knew since the beginning of his high school career, and as he takes another swig of his beer and fakes a smile towards nameless Cheerios that pass him by he thinks what is really the point of all this. He steps away from Quinn who is so entertained with a conversation with Santana and Brittany she doesn't even notice that he is gone. He looks at Quinn's swollen belly and can't help but to think about the promise that he made to her and that unborn baby: that he will take care of them both. But, what he never thought about after everything is said and done and the baby is with her new family and Quinn finally comes to her senses and sees that she actually can do better who is going to take care of him? And that is when the lonely feeling always comes back. He walks down the long hallway he doesn't remember whose house his in but looking at the pictures and he definitely remembers the mother. He smirks and laughs at the dirty memories.
He cant help but to look and study all the family photos that are hung up on the walls he looks at the happy smiling faces that stare back at him wonders when was the last time he felt that happy and the passionate about something. "Hey man" Puck turns around upset that his thoughts got interrupted, but he sees Finn. They actually have been talking a lot more lately despite every that has happened. He misses his best friend. "Wassup Finn" was all he could muster up the courage to say. Then nothing but silence all they can do is just look at each other like they were nine years old in the middle of a staring contest. Puck knew that the conversation had to go on.
"How you been"
"Good" "So who are you here with"
"Quinn" "Brittany and Santana dragged her out the house and she asked me to come nothing better to do"
"Right" "I'm here with Kurt and Mercedes and Rachel"
"Why you lost a bet"
"No, umm Matt and Mike dragged us all out, and Rachel wasn't going without Kurt."
"Right cause they cant live without each other"
Noah just smirks and Finn chuckles and then back at the staring contest.
Silence is definitely a killer….
Rachel was not having fun; sure she is in the middle of the living room dancing with Mike and she is laughing and joking with Matt and Mercedes and she is singing along with the cheesy music with Kurt but she wants to be home. She cant deal with the loudness of everything, people screaming, the smell of alcohol and smoke in the air mixed with teenage hormones. Its making her sick in the stomach. She walks away trying to find some type of sanctuary from the noise in this godforsaken house. She rounds the corner and stops to look at the scene unfolding in front of her. Finn and Puck her two ex-boyfriends, the two so-called best friends are actually talking. She smiles and just thinks just maybe they will be ok, until she sees the blond ex-cheerleader coming
towards them, Rachel cant hear what the three of them are talking about but it cant be good, because Finn walks towards her looking as lost ever, Quinn walks the other way with Brittany in tow, and Puck is left drinking his beer and going for another one.
"You ready to leave" says the tall gloomy figure in front of her
"Finn what happened" she takes his hand in hers.
"Nothing, Quinn came over said she was leaving with Brittany and seeing her just made me realize that I cant be friends with him. So you ready?"
Rachel looked over Finn's shoulder and saw Noah, he looked liked himself but he was not all there, he was in a daze just looking at his beer bottle.
Rachel looked up at Finn's brown eyes, "I think I am going to stay and catch a ride with Matt"
"you sure?", Finn was confused why she wanted to stay at a place that she felt out of place.
"yeah I will call you tomorrow ok, have a good night"
She waited till Finn was out of sight before she approached Puck. She stood next to him up against the wall, and at first she thinks he didn't see her. She waits a couple of more minutes till she is also about to walk away.
"You ever thought about whats the point of it all?" Rachel turns around and crooks her head.
"Noah, what do you mean" He just takes a swig of his beer and starts walking away.
"Lets go for a walk Berry and let figure things out"
Rachel looked around trying to catch a semi familiar face, because Noah is about to kill and bury her body somewhere and she needs a witness.
"you coming Berry?"
She takes a deep breath.
Yeah Noah, lead the way.
Its going to be a long night….
