Rachel wasn't in the first couple of episodes of glee in this story. That character is being replaced with Taylor Rose. There is a way different back story for this. I hope some of you out there will like it.

The call was desperate. It was painful. He regretted calling her the second he hung up the phone, but no one else would be able to understand this. Well…no one would be able to give him a slap in the face reality check that he needed. He thought she would call him back and they would just talk until they cried. So, he thrown off when he saw her sitting in the stands. He looked over at number 20 and knew that he saw her too. Hell, he saw a little tear in the other boy's eyes when she held up a sign that read: Make Me Proud! If things went differently she might have been on this field with them. But, life … life likes to put some damn good people in the stands.

The thrill of a good game. The cheer of the crowd. She had all but forgotten her love for this. She can't take her eyes off of him. "Put your head in the game Puckerman!" She yelled as she watch the ball slip into the other teams hands again. They hadn't seen each other in a while. She probably threw him just by showing up here. But, when their mutual friend called in tears… she knew it was time to pay a visit home. "Finnboo you're playing like a girl!" She yelled out as she tried not cry. They were always supposed to be on that field together. But, plans change. She would never be able to play the game that she loved again. Hell, if it was up to Noah she wouldn't even be able to risk playing a backyard game of touch football. He is so damn protective and worried all the time. "You're mothers can play better than you!" She yelled.

"You know Finn?" The person sitting next to her asked. She just looked at the older man sitting next to her and then at the woman sitting next to him who was cleaning the bleachers with a toothbrush earlier.

"Yeah, we go way back." She said simply as she watched Finn call yet another time out. With just seconds on the clock.

"We have to do it." Finn said as he looked at Puck.

"We will be jokes for the rest of our lives." Puck replied.

"Ray would do it in a second. Just think if our one win could be for her." Finn said as he looked up at the stands. He felt low, playing that card, but Puck would do anything for her.

"Alright captain. Let's do it." He said as he looked up at her.

She couldn't help, but smile when the music started blaring over the speakers. Sure they looked silly out there dancing, but it was a damn good plan. She would give them hell for it later, but she just sang along with the music. "Up in the club, we just broke up/I'm doing my own little thing/ Decided to dip but you wanna trip/ Cuz another brother noticed me/ I'm up on him, you're up on me/ don't pay him any attention/ cried my tears, three good years/ Ya can't be mad at me/ Cuz if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it/ If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it/ Don't be mad once you see that he want it/ If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it."

"RUN! RUN! RUN! YES!" She screamed.

He couldn't help it. His stomach sank when he looked over at Quinn and Finn. That was until he heard her yelling at him. She was running his way and then Quinn and Finn didn't matter. No one mattered when she was around. "That was awesome." She said as she ran into him like a tornado. She never changed…after everything … she was so damn happy. He couldn't help, but hold on to her for a moment.

"It was all for you Rainbow." He whispered into her dark hair. She just laughed as she looked up at him. It felt like they were thirteen again. Love nothing else. That was until she pulled away.

"Don't go all sappy on me now, Cowboy." She just smiled up at him. "Cuz if you liked it you should have put a ring on it." She laughed as she imitated the dance moves that the team used during the game.

"You're just jealous of my mean dance skills." He said as he watched her act like a fool.

"Oh you know it baby." She replied as she laughed at him. He thought she was going to hug him, but he realized too late that she was going down.

"You okay?" He asked as he sat down next to where she had landed.

"I am not as breakable as you think I am." She said as she placed her head on his shoulder. He knew that she was right, but the chances … even a small risk was too much. "So, I guess this is where the elephant comes out of the closest again." She said as she used his shoulder to stand up.

"Eh, we make a better duo when we don't talk." He said as he pulled her gently into his lap.

"Hey, we are like cheese, and according to the Cheese It commercials cheese talks now." She replied as she smiled at him. "Then there is that laughing cheese, but I can't even get a smile out of you." She said as she tried to raise his lips into smile.

"PUCKERMAN TEAM MEETING IN THE LOCKER ROOM!" Someone yelled over to him. He looked up to see his coach standing there.

"I wait for you in the parking lot." She whispered as she got off of him.

"So, who is she?" Damn, that blonde bitch is a freaking ninja or something. He just looked at her for a moment.

"Shouldn't you be with Finn?" He asked after a moment of silence. He could see the way her face turned at his words and in a way he wanted her to suffer just as much as he was.

"She's not even pretty. I mean did you see those man hands, so I don't get it. Why do you look at her like she is the sun?" Her words were bitter and out of jealously. No one loved her as much as he loved Ray and she is not used to not being the most loved.

"She gave me a chance and is the only one to ever do that." He coldly replied. "It might be easier for you to understand it this way, she isn't you." He snapped at her before walking towards the parking lot. And it felt as if the world had been lifted off his shoulders when he saw her leaning up against that beat up old truck of hers. He tries to memorize just how she looks. Her long brown hair blowing in the wind, the way that leather jacket of his still fits her, how her eyes light up at the sight of him, the way she smirks at him, even the way her delicate fingers hold the damn cigarette. What can he say everyone has there bad habits? His was slutty cheerleaders and hers was smoking. He would give his left arm to get to stop, but he was about to break her all over again … so let her have her cigarettes and hell she might just take the arm this time too. "Let's get the hell out of here, Rachel." He said as he pulled her towards him.

"Well, who could turn that down." She said with a laugh as she took his hand. "But remember I drive." She said simply with a smile. He saw Quinn in the corner of his eye and damn it was going to be one long night.

A/N: This is a little preface. Let me know what you think. Should I continue?
