Chapter 3
How could Puck possibly think I don't love him, I thought to myself. How could I not tell him I do? Stupid, stupid Quinn Fabray. I have to go after him. Running outside I saw Puck heading towards his car. I had almost caught up to him when I saw a black SUV heading towards him. I opened my mouth to scream for him but it was too late. The worst noise I have ever heard in my life occurred right there. The sound of screeching breaks and Pucks body impacting with the windscreen. I watched as he flew through the air and broke inside as he crashed onto the ground. "Puck! I screamed" running towards his limp body. I couldn't tell if he was still alive and I was far too scared to find out. I fell to the ground beside him and panicked about what I should do. Ok Quinn, just breath you need to help him. The driver stepped out of the car "I didn't see him, I'm so sorry" they cried, "Just call an ambulance" I cried. Check for breathing I thought to myself. I put my ear next to his mouth and tried to listen for the noise. Fuck! If he is breathing it isn't very strong. Pulse! Does he have a pulse? I gently placed my fingers under his neck, 'come on Puck' I thought to myself. A small thumping pressed on my finger tips. He was alive, maybe just barely but he was alive. "Puck, you will be ok, just stay strong for me" I sat hurled over his body trying my best to find the words to make things Ok. He looked so helpless.
The New Directions must've heard the noise because suddenly Mr Shue was running towards me and Rachel had collapsed into Finn's arms. "Quinn, what happened?" Mr Shue asked. "He mustn't have seen the car" I cried, "Please make him ok, he has to be ok", "The paramedics are arriving now Quinn, just stay calm and let them do their jobs."
A female paramedic asked my name I could tell by the sweet tone of her voice she was only trying to calm me down, "Quinn can you tell who this is?", "This is Puck, please you have to save him" every word that came out of my mouth was a struggle, "I can't lose Puck." "Alright just give us some room and we will try to fix him ok?" I nodded and stepped back "I have to stay right here though, I need to see that he is still there, that he isn't going to leave me" for whatever reason I felt sure that if I let Puck out of my sight he may suddenly disappear.
It seemed like an eternity was passing, thinking back they must've been working on him for at least 45 minutes. Rachel and Finn were on either side of me, and Santana was rubbing my back. It was small amount of comfort that I can now appreciate. "Alright we are going to take him away now", I stepped forward shaking off Rachel's grip "I have to go with him" "family only, sorry sweetie" "He is the father of my child" I cried. Hey it was true, we may not be raising Beth together but right now I needed to be in that ambulance with him. Puck let out a slow moan, "Quinn?the paramedic gave me a small nod, permission to go to Puck. "Puck I am right here", I wanted to grab his hand but I didn't feel safe touching him, he looked so fragile. "Quinn please don't leave me, I love you, please stay…" Puck drifted back into unconsciousness, "I love you too" I don't know if he heard me but if he could he had to know.
The paramedic gave me permission to ride with him, my eyes refused to leave his body. He was in really bad shape a large gash to the head, what looked like broken bones, blood coming out of his abdomen, scratches everywhere from where his body had dragged across the rough road. Did he have any hope at all? My locked stare at Puck was broken when I started hearing a violent beeping noise. "He is crashing, pull over so we can try to stabilize him" Crashing? Oh god, I'm going to lose him?
