Hey everyone! So this is my first fanfiction and I'm hoping it will be okay. Ships Puckleberry (Obviously) and anything else I want as it goes along. Future-fic, it pertains to the show so far and we'll see how it goes as it continues. Thanks everyone and I hope you Enjoy!
P.S: I wasn't a bald, Jewish man last time I looked at myself in the mirror, so I guess I don't have the pleasure of owning glee. But you knew that already…
Noah relaxed at home, he had nothing to do. He extended his arm, grabbing his phone as he slid it across the wooden oak desk top towards him; he slouched back down into his pillows. He ran two fingers across the screen of his phone, scrolling through his contacts, stopping as he passes Rachel's name, he hadn't spoken to her in a while, and he wondered how she was. He paused thinking whether to call her or not. He stared at her name and pushes the call button. He waits, hearing the phone ring.
-GLEE-
Rachel frowned as she heard the phone interrupt her vocal training (implemented of course, by herself). She reached over and picked it up in annoyance. Until, that is, she sees the caller ID. Noah. The very name brings memories that rush back to her. She answered the phone hesitantly.
-GLEE-
Puck tapped his fingers on his bedside table as he waited for Rachel to pick up. He smiled as he heard the sound of her voice. "Hey Rachel, how are you?" He asks her sitting up a little straighter as if she could see him.
-GLEE-
Rachel inwardly sighed at the sound of his voice. The same voice that serenaded her those years ago with one single song. She answered back more confidently than she is feeling. "Fantastic Noah! New York is amazing!" She thinks back to when all the glee club were here last and wishes it were as good as then. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Rachel Berry misses Lima, Ohio: the quietness, the safety, them. She dismisses the thought and continues. "What about you? Anything exciting in Lima?"
-GLEE-
Noah smiled wide as he hears Rachel's enthusiasm in her voice, she still sounded the same. "Wow, i bet it is, you're so lucky to be there Rach." He sighed a little, disappointed in the route that his life had taken compared to Rachel's, she was living her dream and he was stuck in Lima. "Lima's just Lima, nothings happened." He sighs
-GLEE-
He sounded... lonely, was Rachel's first thought as she listened to his response. Lonely was something that people like Rachel were supposed to deal with, not popular, frankly hot guys like Noah Puckerman, self proclaimed "bad-ass". She thought back on when she left. Everyone seemed happy to be leading on their lives, if only somewhat sad to say goodbye. However, if she thought hard, she couldn't remember Noah even being there. She silently wondered if something had happened between graduation and the end of summer. Rachel decided to check up on it, and at least make Noah laugh once during the phone call. "What, you haven't blown up any more warehouses?" she replied, tongue-in-cheek. She held her breath for his reaction
-GLEE-
Noah thought of the last time he saw Rachel, it was graduation, and the day was kind of a blur to him, mainly because he started drinking early that morning. He hated to admit it but he didn't want to leave high school, it was like a safety blanket for him, keeping him from the real world. Puck smiled a little "not just yet Rach, its still on my to do list." He laughs, he missed the way she could cheer him up. He sighs as he picks up the newspaper turning to the jobs section, "so tell me about New York." He says.
-GLEE-
At least he sounded happier, Rachel thought with a smile. Then she caught his last words; "tell me about New York". What was she going to tell him? That she was kicked out of one of her classes for being 'selfish'? That her fathers seem to see her even less than before? That her only friend turned out to be someone just trying to cheat off her and win the audition Rachel had so painstakingly prepared for? Rachel sighed and settled on a safe answer, without lying too much. "It's very different than Lima, that's for sure," she replied with a forced laugh. "It's very... busy." She waited for his response, vocal exercises completely forgotten.
-GLEE-
Puck looked at the newspaper circling any decent jobs with a sharpie. He smiles a little "Yeah, i bet it's different, you must be having a blast there Rach." He smiles happy for her, she always worked so hard for her dreams, she deserved for them to come true. "Busy, is that the best you can come up with?" He laughs a little, picturing what Rachel would be doing right now, and he saw her possibly in a huge theater somewhere. "I've missed you Rachel." He says out of nowhere. Then he looks back down at his paper, staring at the one thing he had circled.
A/N: There's a review button for a reason! It will make my day! Next chapter coming up soon…
