Chapter 2: Rock Week

Annabel made her way to the choir room for the glee club meeting. She was walking alone until she heard someone call her name.

"Annabel," a familiar voice called out. Annabel stopped walking and turned around. She saw Rachel Berry walking her way.

"Hey, Rachel right," Annabel said slowly.

"Yes, I just wanted to talk to you before glee club today," Rachel said.

"Sure," Annabel said looking at Rachel confused.

"I saw you with Puck yesterday," Rachel said, "I just wanted to tell you to be careful. He's dangerous," she said.

"So I've heard," Annabel said smiling softly. "You're the third person to warn me, I think I'll take my chances though," she said.

"Annabel, Puck is not a good guy to fall for," Rachel insisted.

"I have to go to my locker, but I'll catch up with you in Glee," Annabel said pointing over her shoulder. She walked to her locker to get her things. She grabbed a few books and slipped them into her bag. She made sure she had everything she would need. She closed her locker and saw Blaine in his locker a few feet away.

"Blaine," she said walking over to him. She had a few things she wanted to ask Blaine. She hadn't had the chance since Kurt had been around before. She just wanted to get a few things straight without the possessive brunette around.

"Annabel," Blaine said turning to face her.

"Hey I have a question for you," Annabel said walking up to him.

"Shoot," Blaine said as he closed his locker and looked at her expectantly.

"Are you like bi or something?" Annabel asked deciding to be up front about it.

"What?" Blaine asked shocked. "No, why," he said slowly.

"Well, yesterday at lunch Kurt seemed to be a little possessive and didn't seem to like me much," Annabel said, "I know I didn't make him not like me in glee club because my audition was killer," she said.

"You sound like Puck," Blaine said laughing at Annabel. "No, I am definitely gay. There was an incident that had me questioning myself and Kurt is still a little sensitive when I hit it off girls," he said.

"Well, I get the feeling that Kurt doesn't like me very much," Annabel said.

"He'll warm up to you," Blaine said.

"You sound so sure," Annabel said as she started down the hall. Blaine followed her.

"I am," Blaine said, "I know Kurt and he needs time to get over his insecurities and trust me once he realizes that there is nothing between us he'll love you," Blaine said.

"I hope you're right because I don't need any enemies at this place," Annabel said.

"So, are you enjoying school here?" Blaine asked.

"Oh yeah, I got slushied," Annabel said excitedly as she followed Blaine down the hallway.

"Oh that's not something you get used to easily," Blaine said laughing.

"You're not the first to tell me that," Annabel said.

Kurt opened his locker and started to get his things for his classes. He looked to the door and saw the picture of Blaine he had. It was the same one he had had last year. He loved Blaine in his warbler uniform, but he loved having him at McKinley more. He still had the word courage above the picture as well. It was a reminder of the day he had met Blaine. He loved having Blaine around all day again. It was great to be able to see him almost all day. Kurt turned when he heard laughter. He spotted the source of the laughter, Blaine. He then saw what was making him laugh. He saw them talk a bit before he caught Blaine's eyes.

"Blaine," he said as he closed his locker. He walked up to Blaine and linked his arm with his. "I've been thinking about this weeks assignment and I can't come up with anything," Kurt said.

"I know it's a challenge," Blaine said.

"I have a song already," Annabel said proudly.

"You do?" Blaine asked shocked.

"Yep, Puck and Finn are helping me," Annabel said.

"Wow new and already have a song and help," Blaine said, "it took me awhile before anyone but Kurt warmed up to me," he said, "I still don't think Finn likes me here very much," he added.

"He'll come around," Kurt said to Blaine. Blaine nodded his head but Annabel saw the look on Blaine's face. She shrugged it off and walked with the two to the choir room. Annabel sat down next to Puck and Kurt and Blaine sat down next to her.

"Ok guys anyone have a song ready for us?" Mr. Schuester asked as he looked around.

"I have one but I'm gonna need some help," Artie said, "Finn, Puck," he said to them. The two stood up and walked over to Artie. Artie talked to them and they moved to grab their respective instruments.

Annabel watched Puck as he played. She had to admit he was good. She noticed him staring at her as he played. She blushed slightly and looked away. In the back of her mind was a nagging feeling that she should heed every warning she had about Puck.

Annabel looked back to the performance going on before her. She watched as he harmonized with Artie on the 'Born to be Wild' parts. She thought this song was pretty good and that Artie was amazing for a kid in a wheel chair.

Annabel felt Puck's eyes on her when he finished playing. She met his eyes and smiled at him. He had a knowing smirk on his face. Things were going to be interesting.

A few days later Annabel was ready with her song. She had had Puck and Finn helping her along with a few other band members. They had it down and Annabel was excited for her chance to preform.

Annabel was walking down the hallway with Puck. They were discussing their song choice.

"I told Mr. Schue we were working on something," Puck said.

"I think we're ready to show them," Annabel said nodding her head as they walked into the choir room. Annabel sat down next to Blaine and Kurt while Puck walked over to Finn to tell him Annabel was ready.

"Hey Annabel," Blaine said.

"Hi," Kurt said.

"Hey guys," Annabel said, "you ready to see me rock Blaine?" Annabel asked.

"You have a song ready?" Blaine asked.

"Me, Puck, and Finn have been working on something the last few days," Annabel said proudly.

"You are a great singer and I can't wait to see what you have prepared," Kurt said smiling and Annabel. She smiled back and could tell he was warming up to her finally, kind of. She knew it would take some time, but how much time did he need to see that his boyfriend was gay and completely in love with him. Even Annabel who had known the two for a couple of days could see the way Blaine would light up when Kurt walked into the room.

"Ok guys, Puck, said he, Finn, and Annabel had a song for us today," Mr. Shue said once everyone was seated and ready.

"Yeah we do," Annabel said standing up along with Finn and Puck. They started playing. Annabel's song was Make You Believe by Lucy Hale with a rock twist.

Annabel looked over at Puck and Finn as she sang. They were both getting into it. She caught Puck's eyes and she smiled as she sang. Puck smiled back at her. Annabel felt a light blush cross her cheeks and hope no one noticed it.

Annabel heard the three warning ringing in the back of her mind again. She honestly did not know what to think of Puck. Annabel knew there was one person who could tell her about Puck and be fair. Blaine would give her a straight answer even if he hadn't known Puck very long. Blaine was turning out to be a really good friend, now if only she could get Kurt to like her.

Annabel finished singing and looked at the club. They all clapped for her and a few gave her compliments. Annabel smiled as she walked back to her seat.

"Annabel that was amazing," Blaine said. Annabel smiled and nodded her head.

"Wow, Annabel you cease to amaze us," Mr. Schue said.

"Thanks Mr. Schue," Annabel said nodding her head. The rest of the time was spent talking about sectionals which were coming up and them rehearsing numbers they might do for sectionals.

"Ok I know this is last minute, but I called this meeting for a reason," Rachel said as she looked around at the other girls in the room and Kurt.

"What is it this time?" Santana asked, "Finn didn't knock you up did he?" she asked.

"What no," Rachel said blushing, "no this is about Annabel," Rachel said.

"What about her," Santana asked. She knew Rachel probably felt threatened by her. Santana felt threatened by her. She already lost out on a lot of solos and Annabel was only gonna take more of them away.

"She seems nice," Tina said.

"Are you kidding me she's probably gonna be Schue's new favorite and get all the solos," Santana said.

"Yeah, well she has her eye on Puck and we need her in the club," Rachel said, "as much as it pains me to admit this, but she is good and we can't afford to lose her if Puck hurts her," she said.

"Rachel's right," Quinn said nodding her head in agreement, "but I've already tried to warn her and she won't listen," she said.

"I know me too," Rachel said, "we don't need Puck messing with her," she said.

"I say let her fall for Puck and get hurt," Santana said.

"We can't afford to lose her to Shelby like we did with Mercedes," Rachel said.

"I agree with Rachel," Kurt said, "if we lose her to the Trebletones it's going to be even harder to win," he said.

"We have the talent to win," Santana said.

"It wouldn't hurt to have her on our side," Kurt replied. Santana looked at Kurt and thought about what he said. She kept her mouth shut.

"Well if you both talked to her, Quinn and Rachel, then maybe there's another way to get through to her," Tina suggested trying to get the conversation back on track.

"Yeah, like maybe with a song," Quinn suggested.

"Yeah, but we can't do it this week," Rachel said, "Mr. Schue assigned rock songs and I kind of have a song I've always wanted to try. I was kind of thinking all of us could do it," Rachel said looking around at the girls and Kurt.

"I caught Lord Tubington smoking again," Brittany said seriously. Everyone stopped to look at her for a second before continuing with their conversation.

Finn, Kurt, Blaine, Mike, and Artie made their way down the hall towards Puck who was standing in front of a locker. Kurt had just finished talking with the girls about Annabel and he had talked the guys into stopping Puck from doing anything.

"Puck," Finn said.

"We saw you making eyes with Annabel," Mike said.

"She was looking at me," Puck said putting his hands up defensively.

"Look man we just don't want to lose her," Finn said.

"Yes, she is an amazing singer and we can't afford to lose anyone right now," Artie said.

"I get it," Puck said, "you don't want me to hurt her and I won't," he said.

"Puck we know you," Finn said, "don't do anything to hurt her," he said.

"I can't make any promises," Puck said.

"Puck, just leave her alone, she's a nice girl," Blaine said, "we really don't want her quitting and running to Shelby," he said.

"Fine," Puck said, "I won't do anything," he said.

"Good," the other guys said.

"But if she starts it I won't stop it," he said before walking away. The other guys stood there silently.

Kurt sighed as he made his way home. He was thinking about Annabel. He may not really like her right now, but he could see Blaine and her were on the road to becoming friends. He knew he had nothing to worry about, Blaine loved him. Blaine did admit to being confused. He and Rachel hit it off almost, but that kiss made Blaine realize he was gay right? Blaine was done with questioning himself. Why was he so jealous of a girl. He had no reason to be. He knew Blaine loved him and had confirmed he was gay, but all it took was one girl to get him questioning himself again. Kurt didn't want that. Kurt shook his head. No, he wasn't going to think that right now.

Kurt's thoughts turned solely on Annabel. She wasn't a bad person. She did dress like a deviant, but she seemed nice. Maybe all the piercings and the dark clothes were a rebellious fit she was going through. Kurt didn't really see a reason not to not like her though. He knew Blaine liked her, had maybe he should too. There really was a valid reason to hate her. He knew Blaine loved him. Kurt did wonder what Annabel's last name was though. She hadn't really told anyone. Blaine had told him that she lived in Lima for the last four years with her adopted family. Kurt wondered what family she belonged to. He wondered if he knew the family at all. Kurt would have to ask her another time. He would also have to apologize to her too. He hadn't exactly been very nice to her the last few days. He hadn't done it intentionally, but he hadn't been very nice.

Kurt pulled into his driveway and saw he would be home alone probably, unless Carole was home. Kurt shook his head as he got out of his car and started for the door. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he pulled it out as he walked up to the door. He saw it was a text from Blaine.

Miss you already.

Kurt smiled at the text and texted Blaine back. He shook his head as he opened the door. He walked into the living room where Carole was watching TV.

"Hey Kurt," Carole said as his phone vibrated in his hands.

"Hey," Kurt said, "I think Finn has practice," he said as he texted Blaine back a smile on his face.

"I know," Carole said smiling at him. "No Blaine?" she asked.

"He's working on his glee club assignment for this week with the guys," Kurt said, "he does however have time to text me," Kurt said holding his phone up for Carole to see as it vibrated again. "I think I am gonna just go up to my room and call Rachel," Kurt said. He needed to work out the last bit of the song he was doing with the girls.

"Ok we have two number today from the girls and Kurt," Mr. Schue told the glee club, "and one from the guys," he said looking at the other guys of the glee club. "Who wants to go first?" he asked looking at the club.

"The girls can go first," Finn said looking over at the girls. The girls and Kurt stood up and walked to the front of the room. Annabel was included in the girls as she grabbed a guitar.

"Rachel asked me to help out," Annabel said to the other girls. Annabel started the opened Guitar lines for, Bad Reputation.

The girls and Kurt all stepped up and delivered the first lines and Annabel had fun with the guitar. The girls danced as they sang catching the interest of the guys in the room. Even Blaine was watching Kurt move.

"That was great," Mr. Schue said, "ok guys you're next," he said turning to the guys.

The guys brought everyone to the auditorium where they got up on stage where they had set up everything they needed for their song. They performed Rock You Like a Hurricane. They put on a show for everyone.

Annabel watched Puck on his guitar. He was amazing. She was better though. Annabel felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw Kurt moving to sit next to her.

"Hey," he said.

"Hey Kurt," Annabel said slowly.

"Look I want to apologize for the way I've been acting," Kurt said, "it has nothing to do with you," he said.

"I was kind of getting the vibe you hated me," Annabel said.

"Look Blaine hit it off with a girl once and he started to question if he was gay," Kurt said looking up at the stage where Blaine was singing with the other guys.

"Look, Kurt I could tell he was gay from the start," Annabel said, "I can also tell he loves you. He just lights up when he sees you," she said smiling at Kurt.

"Most people can't tell that Blaine is gay unless he's with me," Kurt said looking at Annabel.

"I have a gay brother," Annabel said smiling. Kurt nodded his head. The two sat together and watched the end of the guys performance together. Once the guys finished they stood with the rest of the club and applauded.

"Now that is what I'm talking about," Mr. Shue said excitedly.
