Not being able to see the world you're living in is the hardest thing to do. Relying on your ears is the most she could do to sense where she was living in. Luckily, she had memorised her house, so she knew exactly where each room was. But it was still hard. And her brother still had to help her sometimes.

Since the accident, her parents never wanted to leave her alone in the house. But now her brother had stepped up and they trusted to leave her with him, he could take care of her now. And so her parents were going on this business trip leaving her alone with her brother for two weeks, they were going to get someone from the hospital to go help since they were allowed that for her.

But her brother was convinced he could do it. And the lady only came around only if Puck needed it for Rachel. Instead, Karofsky helped them out since he knew how to. His brother was blind too and Karofsky wasn't that bad after all. He was just hurting.

After the party, Rachel realised she had just made a feminine friend. All her others were boys. Marcus, Karofsky, Puck. Since her brother was male she only met his males friends. And Puck stopped dating girls since he stepped up.

But Santana, who seemed like a right one. Was a girl. Sure she was quite bitter and selfish. And Puck didn't like her. But she remembered what Puck had said 'I only invited you here for your looks' so that must mean she was pretty. And people only liked her for that.

Maybe once she let herself come out from behind her invidious walls then Rachel could get to know her for who she is. As Puck and the rest of his school, as he told her, has already judged her. She knew the feeling, people always thought she was tricky to handle just because she couldn't see. Except for Marcus and Karofsky, nobody had really tried to get to know her. Same with Santana.

"Are you thinking again?" Puck asked knowingly as he continued to clean up the floors downstairs. She was on the couch, it was the morning after the party and she was sure Puck was on hangover but still cleaning.

"How come you've never introduced me to any of your girlfriends?" Rachel asked curiously.

"I don't have any girlfriends Rachel" Puck told her "And oh no, Santana Lopez is not my girlfriend" he gasped like the words tasted horrible in his mouth.

"She seems nice" Rachel commented "You two suit each other"

"No we don't" Puck grumbled.

"Don't be upset Noah" Rachel drawled "But was Santana ever your girlfriend?"

"No!" Puck exclaimed "She was not! Now are you going to pee or what?"

Oh yeah she forgot she needed to do that. Carefully she stood up with the help of Puck and he watched her cautiously as she walked herself over, holding the wall just in case. But when she was just about to go in she tripped on something and fell to the ground with a scream.

"Ow damnit!"

Puck was by her side within seconds "Are you okay? Did you hurt anything?" he asked inspecting her to make sure.

"I'm fine" Rachel assured him.

"I've never heard you curse before" he said.

"That...wasn't me"

They both turned around to see a tanned skin figure on the floor. Puck crawled over and looked over the person. When their met eyes they both jumped and screamed "What the hell!" "What are you doing here?"

"I must have fell asleep" Santana said mostly to herself.

"Santana?" Rachel questioned "What are you doing here?"

"I must've fell asleep!" Santana repeated.

"How you could you have fell asleep?" Puck asked.

"I'm not the only one" Santana stated, there was three other people behind the sofa she could see. She turned around to Rachel "Sorry for tripping you" she said.

"It's okay" Rachel said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear "You didn't hear any of our conversation did you?" Puck asked warily.

"What conversation?" Santana questioned rubbing her head. Puck sighed in relief, that would have been awkward.

"Alright" Puck clapped his hands "Everybody out!" he ordered. Nobody moved from their position "Out! Now!" Puck growled.

Santana looked at Rachel who was frowning. She hated it when no one listened to her brother, all he was doing was helping her. Santana shook her head, cleared her throat and stood up "Alright everyone, you have three seconds to get up or i'll drag you out by myself, you know where I come from right? There we keep razor blades in our hair and I ain't afraid to use them"

Almost instantly people shot up and ran out. Rachel heard footsteps run past her and Puck quickly shielded her body. Santana watched victoriously as they all cowered out and smirked "See, that's how it's done" she said to Puck.

"Whatever Satan" Puck sneered carrying Rachel over to the bathroom. He guided her over and Rachel used the sounds to know where to go and if she needed him she would pull the red string they had made in there. There parents did everything to suit Rachel.

He slowly walked out but stayed very near the door and turned back around to Santana "That includes you you know, get out"

"They wouldn't be out if it wasn't for me" Santana reminded him.

"Yes I know!" Puck said "And thank you, but you can leave now" he scowled.

"Noah" Rachel half-whined playfully from the bathroom. Puck rushed in "Yeah what happened? Are you alright?"

"I just wanted to say be nice" Rachel said. Puck sighed "Oh" he turned back around with a frown.

"Fine, I need to go anyway" Santana said missing the conversation between Rachel and Puck.

"Wait!" Rachel called after her running out. She knows how to get out of the toilet as there is a infra-red beam there and an automatic flush and tap. She ran out and Puck quickly held her to make sure she wouldn't bump into anything or fall. Santana turned around.

"You can stay, and help Noah clean up" Rachel said.

"No way" Puck said.

"Yeah little girl, cleaning really isn't my thing" Santana tossed her hair back behind her shoulder. Rachel dropped her head "I just wanted someone to help him, because he has taken so much on on his own and Karofsky was helping an hour ago but then he needed to get home and to his appointment"

"appointment?" Santana questioned looking at Puck.

"Yes" Puck waved off. He looked down at Rachel "Squirt I told you, Lopez isn't in to helping people"

Rachel looked up "I know" she whispered "I just thought that...she would"

Santana would be lying if she said she didn't feel bad. Of course she wanted to help Puck and his sister. But it was her reputation, and Puck's expectations she was getting lost in. But looking at the adorable little girl in need, she couldn't help but nodding her head "Fine, I'll help"

Rachel immediately smiled her 100 watts smile. Puck rolled his eyes at how happy she looked. Santana was surprised too. She looked questioningly at Puck who just shrugged. Rachel got excited when she got to stay with someone new. She liked learning about new people. She was never shy.

Puck picked Rachel up and put her on the sofa. Rachel laughed "Noah I can walk!"

"Yeah yeah" Puck said "Now let's get this done Lopez, there's only two rooms left"

Santana nodded "What about your sister? She just going to sit there?"

"She always does, or she reads her music books"

"Music?"

"She sings" Puck told her "Oh" Santana nodded "Cool, but how does she read the music?"

"Brail" Puck said like it was obvious. He shot her a disbelieving look "Did you seriously not know that?"

Santana put her hands up "Not a clue"

Rachel frowned "Santana do you know what a tactile watch is?"

"A what watch?" Santana spun around and asked her.

"A tactile watch, see look" she held up her wrist with the watch on "I can feel what time it is on this watch" she said.

"Oh cool" Santana said leaning closer to see it "You see, I've never met a blind person before so I don't know anything about them"

"I can tell you" Rachel suggested, her face brightening up.

Santana looked at Puck. He sighed "Let us clean first" he said.

"Okay" Rachel said quietly.

Santana didn't take her eyes off the younger girl when she bent down to clean up until threw a paper plate at her "Stop staring, it's not polite"

Santana turned back to him "I'm not, I'm just making sure she's okay"

"Oh my god, is Santana Lopez going soft?"

"Shut up Puck" Santana punched his shoulder gently "I'm not soft"

"Soft like a teddy bear" Puck teased ignoring her.

"Shut up" she hissed.

"Relax, it's not like I'm going to tell anybody" he said.

"Come on man, let's tidy this rubbish up" Santana rushed. She put all the rubbish around them in the black bags and then got up to start the next room.

"You seem nicer today" Santana commented "What do you mean?" Puck asked.

"Yesterday you were a big cranky, now you seem relaxed" Santana observed.

"That's because I was worrying about her yesterday, at least I know she's safe here" Puck told her as he continued to find empty bottles over the place and put them in "And plus, hangovers always make me nicer"

"How does that work?"

"Because when I'm drunk I'm not nice, duh"

Santana rolled her eyes and continued stuffing rubbish in the bag "Why was your sister so happy that I stayed? Does she get bored of you?"

"No" Puck denied "She just never has a female friend over"

Santana stiffened at the word friend.

"Sorry I mean female dog over" Puck spat.

"Puck.." Santana sighed. Damn what has gotten into her. She actually didn't want to upset him.

"No it's fine" Puck muttered "Just tidy up and leave"

Santana sighed. But then started to clean up again with the awkward silence in the room.


"Hey" Rachel greeted when Puck walked back into the living room "Hi cutie"

"Where's Santana?" Rachel asked.

"Right here" Santana said coming in behind him "How you doing little Puckleman?"

"Fine" Rachel smiled.

"Santana was just leaving" Puck said.

"What-Why?" Rachel asked.

"Because she has friends to see" Puck spat.

"It was nice meeting you Rachel" Santana told her getting her jacket "I'll see you around Puck" the way she said it got Rachel knowing something had happened. When the door shut Rachel turned away from her brother and ignored him.

"Hey what's wrong?" Puck asked worriedly.

"You just had to chase her away didn't you" Rachel spun back around "Why Noah?"

"Because she's not nice Rachel, she's bad news, why did you have to pick Satan spawn? Couldn't you have picked someone else?"

"No one else would talk to me would they!" Rachel yelled. Puck deflated and backed away.

Rachel sighed "I'm sorry, I just want to be on my own right now"

"Okay" Puck said quietly. He got up from the couch and left the room silently. Rachel curled up on the sofa and just put her fingers over the brail and started reading the sheet music. And started humming it under her breath.
