Chapter 2 Hero
Puck's POV
"I hope he comes back on stage." Santana tells Quinn. God where is Rachel if she was sitting next to me we could be making fun of out friends.
"Yeah San he was great don't you think Puck?" Quinn asks.
"Yeah that was the best experience of my life." I look over towards the back door of the club and she Rachel walking through it. I stand up and walk towards her. "Hey Rachel where did you go."
"Outside I needed to get away from the crazy Finn Hudson fans and by that I mean Quinn and Santana were yelling to loud for me to handle." She lets out a small laugh.
"Well they are waiting for him to come back on stage I mean what kind of jerk stops of a show. I mean the are just letting the D.J. Play while he is probably making out with some chick."
"No Puck just knocked one over."
"What?" She looks at the ground for a second and then back at me and she opens her mouth to speak but a voice that causes all the girls to scream bursts through the room.
"Hello I am Finn Hudson once again. I am gonna start playing a song in a sec it just I wanted to say sorry to Rachel." I look at Rachel and her mouth is hanging open. No he can't be talking about her. "Rachel if you are still here because you don't hate me completely I just wanted to say sorry for knocking you down" Yeah he is talking about her. " and that I want to change your mind so Rachel this is for you."
Let me be your hero
Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?
Would you run, and never look back?
Would you cry, if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Now would you die, for the one you love?

I look over at Rachel and she looks like she is smiling at Finn. What she hates him?
Rachel's POV
Why is my heart beating fast. Its just one of the most famous singers in La singing a romantic song that was dedicated to me. Okay so maybe it is the nicest thing someone has done for me but I still don't like him. Oh God he is looking at me.
Would you swear, that you'll always be mine?
Okay so the way he just sang that lyric and the way he is looking at me its kinda hot. But still I hate him. Finn stop looking at me look at another girl or guy for all I care. Okay I turn to see Puck looking at me strange. I turn my attention back to Finn.
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here, tonight
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
Oh, I just wanna hold you

Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here, tonight

You can take my breath away
Will my heart stop beating so fast. Rachel control yourself its just a guy you hate singing a love song to you.

(I can be your hero, baby)
And I will stand by you, forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
An' I can be your hero
When the music stops he says the most romantic thing that I guy has ever said to me.
"Rachel let me be your hero and you can take my breath away."
Okay I know it cheesy but its sweet and Puck has never done anything like that before. I just keep my eyes locked with Finn's and give him a smile. Maybe he isn't such a jerk if he does something as sweet as this?
"Thank you everyone I hope you enjoyed the show. Have a good night."
Then he walks back stage. I keep looking at the stage that he was once on.
"What the hell was that Rachel are you that Rachel he was singing to?"
I shake my head and look at Puck trying what to say to answer his question. I see Quinn and Santana coming our way Quinn is the first one to speak.
"That was so cute what he did for that girl. I told you Rachel he wasn't a jerk you even have to admit that you can't even resist that."
Before I get a chance to answer Puck does. "Rachel would never fall for a guy just because he sang a song for her."
"Actually I don't think I can resist what he did." I told them and Quinn and Santana have smiles on their faces while Puck looks mad.
"Well that was the reaction I was hoping for." We all turn to look at Finn. Quinn and Santana's mouths drop.
"Finn that was really sweet of you to say sorry and that song was beautiful." I tell him.
"Well a beautiful song for a beautiful girl." I feel the heat on my cheeks rise . What is happening I am not hating him anymore?
"I uh-thank you Finn."
"Rachel you do realize who you are talking to right you hate this jackass remember." I turn towards Puck.
"So your Puck so that must mean that these ladies are your friends that love me." I laugh Finn is good. I see Quinn and Santana nod their heads with big smiles on there faces.
"Yeah I am Puck how would you know?"
"Rachel told me about you when we ran in to each other before and I mean literally ran into each other." I laugh again. God he can be charming. Wow Rachel get it together.
"Oh so I was right you were singing about Rachel well if you don't know she hates you like I said she thinks your a jackass." I see hurt on Finn's face.
"Yeah I was singing about Rachel Puck."
"Puck stop." I turn my full attention to Finn. "Finn can we talk alone."
"Of course Rachel come on." He holds out his hand and I hesitantly take it. He leads me behind stage and into a room with no one in it. There is a couch so I sit down. "So what did you want to talk about?" He asks and sits next to me. I look at him. Okay so he is good looking.
"Um I wanted t something without Puck being rude and making feel bad."
"Okay."
"Its was a beautiful song like I said before and I thought you did a good job and Puck was wrong I don't think you are jackass anymore."
"Anymore so something has changed in the last half hour."
"Yeah I guess I mean I guess you can be a little charming."
"A little I thought I was a total charmer you know like a stud."
"A stud? Finn you just called yourself a stud."
"What Rach would you rather me say I Finn Hudson am a stud muffin." My heart starting racing when he called me Rach. I burst out laughing when he said stud muffin.
"You are so cheesy." All of a sudden he looks serious and is staring me in the eyes.
"I like your laugh it nice."
"You find my laugh nice?"
"Yeah and your have beautiful eyes."
"Beautiful eyes?"
"And you can also be a total bitch and all commanding which is a total turn on." He moves closer but I don't move away.
"You know when someone calls be a bitch a would usually tell them they are wrong but I was to you before but you still sang that song why?"
"Because I just myself drawn to you wow I probably sound like a total girl." He puts hid head in his hands. I place my hand on his and he looks up.
"And for some weird reason I don't hate you now and you don't sound like a girl only a real man will talk about his feelings like you did." I give him a smile.
"Your have a pretty smile and I never talk about my feeling to a anyone."
"But Finn you just did to me."
"Because like I said I am drawn to you." I see him inching closer I don't stop him. I feel myself leaning in. Right now he is just Finn. Not famous Finn. Just a guy named Finn. But he not just a guy he is every girl's dream guy but not mine. At least he wasn't.
Puck's POV
"Where is she?" I say angrily.
"Puck calm down they have only been gone for like an hour. I wish I was Rachel first he sings to her and now they are probably talking and she is falling in love with him." Quinn says.
"Shut up Quinn Rachel hates him she always has."
"You are just jealous because you know once Rachel kisses him that you and her are done for good and you will never get her back. You also know that once she is with another guy that you are just her friend and thats all you are gonna be to her." Santana says.
"Your wrong Rachel won't kiss him. Plus me and Rachel broke up."
"Because you know that you aren't good enough for Rachel I mean thats why you broke up with her because she is going to New York in the fall and you were gonna be stuck in Lima while she was out making something out of herself."
"Shut up Santana I am gonna go find Rachel." I get ip and walk in the direction the walked in. I get back stage and ask a stage hand if has seen Finn Hudson with a girl and he points in the direction of a room. The door is closed but that doesn't stop me from pushing the door open and barging in. My eyes go wide when I see Rachel and Finn Hudson. They look like they are about to kiss.
"Rachel!" She looks away from him and at me.
"Puck what are you doing here?"
"Lets go we are leaving."
"Puck I can find a way home."
"No I said we are leaving so come on."
"I drive you Rachel." Finn offers.
"Thanks Finn you see Puck he will take me."
"No!"
"Dude I promise I will have her home in an hour or two."
"I said no come on Rachel."
"Puck I am fine you can go Finn will take me." She turns towards Finn.
"Rachel"
"Puck go Quinn and Santana are probably waiting." I turn and walk out why am I so mad?
Rachel's POV
Once Puck leaves I look at Finn.
"Thanks for driving me did you want to talk some more?"
"Yeah do you wanna get something to eat?"
"Sure Finn."
He leads me out of the club and I see cameras flashing then I realize I am with famous Finn again not just Finn the boy. We get into a car and he drives to diner. Didn't think that we would go to a diner.
"This is my favorite place has the best fries and shakes."
"Okay." When we walk we sit in a booth and order. I get a strawberry shake and fries while he get a burger, fries and chocolate shake.
"I am gonna get to the point I like you because you hated me and I am too cocky and you put me down and I can have anything or anyone but you."
"You are drawn to me and you can't have me strange." I laugh.
"I know strange any girl that wants me I don't want but the one girl who doesn't want me I can't have. I thought back at the club we were gonna kiss til your ex boyfriend walked in."
"I thought we were Finn."
"Good so we are on the same track."
"I am not sure but what ever we are doing now talking I like it I have had the same boyfriend on and off since I was twelve I have never really had a chance to talk to another guy who wasn't Puck and I have to tell you I like it."
"So you and Puck are that couple that goes back and fourth."
"Not anymore I am done with him for good and I have been done with him since six months ago I am over him and his games."
"Do you still love him?"
"No I am not even sure I ever did. I mean he was always there for me and he's my best friend so I guess it just seemed natural I guess."
"I don't think I have ever been love."
"Why every girl loves you."
"But I don't love them back."
"Well I have never loved anyone either so Finn I think that means we have something in common."
"Well then Rachel we should fall in love over the summer."
"Finn that is an awesome goal who are you gonna fall in love with?"
"You"
"Me?"
"Yup I am gonna fall in love with you and your gonna fall in love with me."
"I am gonna fall in love with you Finn."
"Yes."
"Why is that Finn Hudson?"
"Because I am drawn to you and even though you don't want to you are drawn to me or you wouldn't be here right now." He moves his face closer to me.
"Your right."
"I know I am." I stand up and walk out. He chases after me.
"Rachel wait! Rach!"
"Yeah!" I turn around and see he looks confused.
"What is going on here."
"This."
I grab his neck and pull him down to me. I feel his breath on my face.
"Finn you can kiss me if you want to"
"I want."
I don't wait another second until his lips crash on mine. He moves his hand to cup my cheek. I pull away when I need some air. He has eyes close as he leans his forehead against mine. My heart starts beating really fast again.
"That was the best kiss of my life." He says. I pull away from him and laugh.
"Drive me home Finn."
When get to the condo he parks in the driveway. He turns towards me with a smirk on his lips.
"I am not gonna have sex with you because you are famous and rich and that would make a whore." I say to him.
"I uh-I"
"But if we do fall in love I will then have sex with."
"I-your not a whore and I don't to have sex with you just yet I mean I want to but I-uh"
"Finn stop talking for a second and listen to me I you said you wanted to fall in love over the summer and you can if you want that girl to be me the great but if you want that to be someone else I un-"
"I want that girl to be you." I smile.
"Then I guess-"
He cuts me off with a kiss. This time the kiss is more heated then before and then he cups both my cheeks. I put my hands on his shoulders. I don't want the kiss to end and for the first time I realize that he is the one that I want.
Finn is the one that I want
