Leaving Earth

Chapter 2

Cheerios was fun but Mum was right, I was getting weaker and weaker. I was slowing down the team, I'm guessing Coach would have noticed by now but she didn't say anything or she hadn't said anything because she knew. I had got close with Puck and Santana didn't mind at all. When I didn't have practice I sat with the footballers, I felt like one of them. I felt ok around guys. One day after practice, I felt so weak my legs were going to collapse and obviously I couldn't walk home so I sat on the girls' bathroom floor waiting for the pain to go away. It had already been 20 minutes and nothing was happening so I called up Puck, he was on speed dial after my parents. I had a crush on Puck.

"Um… Could you help me?"

"Sure, where are you?"

"Girls' bathroom, don't worry no one is in here."

"Ok." He was so kind. He arrived shortly. "So what do you need help with?"

"Could you take me home?"

"Yeah." I didn't move, he excepted me to stand up. "Aren't you going to stand up?"

"That's the problem."

"Oh."

"You kind of… Have to lift me up."

"Ok." He scooped me up and he walked to his car. He asked as we walked "Why can't you walk?"

"I have this issue with my legs, they get really weak."

"Maybe you shouldn't be in the Cheerios then, it's hard work."

"No, I'm fine. It happened before it's just this time… I can't walk." He placed me in the passenger's seat of his car and closed the door, he went to the driver's side and got in. My Mum rang me.

"Mum."

"Quinn, where are you? I'm getting worried."

"I'm being dropped off by a friend."

"Who?"

"A boy."

"A boy!"

"Mum calm down."

"Why can't you walk home?"

"I can't walk, it's my legs."

"I never should have let you stay in that cheerleading team! How can you do this to yourself?"

"Mum can we talk about this at home?"

"Ok."

"Is everything alright?" He asked.

"Yes, don't worry. My Mum overreacts sometimes."

"This may sound personal but if this has happened before then have you gone to the doctor?"

"Of course, I take medinice."

"Oh ok."

When we arrived at my house, Mum was waiting at the front door with a pale expression on her face. Puck came around and picked me up in his arms again and took me to my Mum.

"Take her upstairs." Mum ordered. Puck did so, he followed my directions to my room. He placed me on my bed.

"Thank you so much."

"That's alright."

"Sorry I put you in this position."

"It's fine, don't sweat."

"Do you want to stay?"

"Um… Doesn't your Mum want to talk to you?"

"Yes." Mum said appearing at the door. "You may go now."

"Mum I want him to stay, he helped me get home."

"You could have called me."

"As if you could carry me, you would probably have forced me to walk anyway."

"I would have not."

"I think I should go." Puck said.

"No stay. Mum he is my friend."

"Go wait downstairs." Puck went, Mum closed the door after him. "Quinn, how could you?"

"Mum this has happened before it's just worse."

"Before? And you never told me."

"Because I knew you would react like this."

"You are getting weaker and weaker everyday and you don't even look like you care."

"I do Mum, it's my life that is draining."

"Then why are you doing these things to yourself?"

"I'm not trying to stay here longer than what I'm suppose to stay."

"Then why are you falling for that boy?"

"I'm not, he's just a friend. I can't fell in love with someone I know Mum."

"Ok, what is his name?"

"Noah Puckerman." I wasn't going to say Puck, she would go crazy. The Mohawk had already tipped her off he was a bad boy.

"Ok." Mum made me take my medinice, then she left and Puck came up.

"Are you alright with your Mum?"

"Yeah, do you want to watch something on tv downstairs?"

"Ok… If you can walk down there."

"I should be, I can't feel anymore pain." I got up from my bed and felt a tiny bit of pain but I could walk. We went downstairs and sat down on the lounge.

"You have a nice house."

"Thanks, so what do you want to watch?"

"Whatever you want." I put on the first movie I grabbed. We were both bored during it and we were glad when it finished.

"Well that wasn't great." He laughed. He has the cutest laugh.

"Yeah."

"I don't even know why I have that movie." He smiled. He also has the cutest smile.

"Noah would you like anything to eat?" Mum said as she entered the room.

"No thanks." She then went upstairs. Puck's phone started to buzz and he got it out of his pocket. "I have to go." He said after he finished talking.

"Oh."

"I really wish I could stay but I have to pick up my sister."

"Ok, well thanks for everything."

"No problem." He got up and left.

"He's a nice boy." Mum said as she passed to go to the kitchen.

Oh no I had done the last thing I wanted to do… I had fallen for Noah Puckerman.
