I DONT OWN ANYTHING
Rachel stayed home the rest of the week into the weekend deciding to go back on Monday. She was wearing a long sleeved white shirt with a grey scarf. Her hair was in soft waves with light makeup. She had on skinnt jeans with a black belt and brown UGGs.
Kurt had come over early to help. Puck agreed to pick her and Kurt both up. He honked signaling he was there. He watched as Rachel walked out with her stick and sunglasses on. Kurt had also put a black beret on her.
He got out of the truck to lift Rachel in. Its always been a challenge for her to get in his truck. Its big and shes tiny. He threw both her and Kurts bags in the bag along with her stick.
They drove to school in silence mostly because she was really nervous about whats gonna happen. When they got there Rachel let out a breath she didnt realize she was holding.
"Relax Cherie" Kurt told her
"I am relaxed" she lied
Both Kurt and Puck scoffed at that. They both got out Puck carrying Rachel. He gave her her stick. "What about my bookbag?" she asked
"I got it" he told her and put his arm around her leading her into the school. Once they walked through the door all eyes were on them. Luckily Rachel couldnt see that. The whispers however she could hear. they were along the lines of "Is she really blind?","Are they dating now?","Does he just feel sorry for her", and the occasional "That sucks!"
"Ignore it" Kurt told her. "They gave you a new locker by the way the other one is being used for evidence"
"Evidence?" Rachel asked confused
"Yea your dad must have raised hell you cant see it but there are cops here right now" Puck told her
"Oh no" Rachel said "I dont want people to think-"
Puck cut her off "Fuck them. They fucking blinded you Rachel they deserve everything they get"
Rachel didnt even bother reprimanding him about his language she just stayed silent. She didnt see it but everyone was at her locker waiting for her. "wow Rache thats like a light saber" Matt said taking the stick out of her hands. He pretended like he was fighting making the sound effects and all then he started stabbing mike who made fake dying sounds
Everyone laughed and the mood was lightened. The bell rang indicating it was time for class so Puck led her to her first class which he had too. "Are you staying?" she asked him
"Yea Ill stay" he said nonchalantly
"thankyou Noah. I know how you hate math" she thanked him
He just grunted and shrugged. When they got in the stares were there again. The teacher had a look of sympathy. Puck led her to her seat and sat beside her not caring that it wasnt technically his seat. Rachel was actually proud of herself she listened intently but still had trouble writing the things down.
When the bell ran Puck rushed her out of their. Thats when Jacob Ben Israel came up to them with his camera "Did you hear?"
"Did we hear what?" Puck asked annoyed
"Theres been arrests." Jacob told them "Karafosky and others on the football team even the hockey team. Its been said that hockey has been suspended and coach sylvestor is kicking off cheerios left and right"
"Good" Puck said simply. He was thankful football season was over so he didnt have to worry about his sport being in danger.
"Any comments Rachel" jacob asked her shoving the microphone in her face which Puck batted down.
"Get lost" Puck growled shoving him and leading Rachel away. He was happy people were getting punished.
The rest of the day went by somehwat smoothely. Rachel used her stick to get around but was helped by someone most of the time. She was on her way to glee when she was grabbed by someone and pulled into a closet. "What are you-" she started but stopped when a hand shot over her mouth
"Relax Manhan- Berry" Santana said "I just wanted to talk to you alone"
"Okay" Rachel said slowly and unsure "What about?" when santana didint say anything Rachel got confused "Santana?"
"Give me a minute" Santana snapped "Im not good at this type of thing"
Rachel waited patiently until Santana sighed and started to talk "Listen I just want you to know that I did know you were gonna get pranked" she admitted "I also realize that it was wrong not to do anything. I know we havent been friends and Ive basically made highschool a living hell for you but you didnt deserve what happened. I have been punished just so you know I was kicked off the cheerios along with Quinn and about six others mostly upperclassmen. I dont know if we'll get put back on eventually or not"
"Im sorr-" Rachel started but Santana interrupted her
"Dont be we deserve it. The worst thing out of all of this is Britney wont speak to me at all anymore" Santana said somewhat sadly
"You love her dont you?" Rachel asked softly
"Yea I do" Santana admitted "But dont tell anyone your the only one Ive admitted it to"
"I wont" Rachel promised
Santana smiled slightly. Rachel really was a good person. "I guess what Im really trying to say is Im sorry and I really hope we can start over and be friends somehow. I promise I wont let you get shit from anyone for their punishment. I already know Puck is not that job but he cant hit a girl an I and I can so.."
Rachel laughed a little "Ide like that Santana"
Santana was somewhat shocked "Really? Just like that?"
Rachel nodded "Why not just like that? Your sorry and I forgive you. Im not going to hang this over your head forever I mean its not like if I keep a grudge my eyesight will come back and you didnt put the firecrackers in my locker personally"
"But I still shouldve st-" Santana started
Rachel cut her off "Santana! Dont worry about it. What happened happened and if your still feeling guilty just work on making it up to me in the future"
"How?" Santana asked
"Be a good friend" Rachel told her simply. Then to her surprise Santana hugged her tightly muttering thankyous. Rachel smiled and hugged her back. "Can we go to glee now I dont want everyone thinking I wondered into a well or something"
Santana laughed and held her hand that didnt have the stick leading her out of the closet. When they walked into glee alot of people stared. "You know just because I cant see you staring at us doesnt mean I cant feel your eyes" Rachel said somewhat annoyed
"Why are you holding hands with Santana?" Tina asked wearily
"Shes my new friend" Rachel told them
"What are you trying to pull Satan?" Puck said stunned
"Yea Rachel how can you trust her" Kurt added
Rachel shrugged "well she didnt lead me into a wall on the way here so that had to say something"
Some people chuckled at that and Santana led Rachel to her chair that is usually front and center then sat down herself. Mr Schue started then saying something about sectionals and dance moves. Rachel stiffened at the mention of dancing. Could she even do that anymore? She hadnt thought this through.
Everyone got up to dance except Rachel. Everyone looked at her awkwardly not knowing what to say. "Its fine" she assured them sensing their hesitance
So they all danced. She laughed a little at all the cursing and yelling at eachother for stepping on one anothers foot. Then she heard the laughing at having fun with it and she missed that. She wished so badly she could just see and be normal again. When she felt she needed to get some air she stood up.
She heard everyone stop "I just need to use the restroom" she told them using her stick walking out of the room. She used it down the hallway counting her steps.
"Where you goin?" she heard a male voice ask
"The restroom" she told him
"Not yet your not" he told her smugly pushing her up against a locker "Do you know what happened because of you?"
"I dont understan-" she started
"Shut up bitch Im talking now!" he snapped cutting her off "My brother was arrested becuase of you and I was kicked off the hockey team. Our season is over now because of you just because you cant see anymore"
She didnt know what to say. "What speechless?" he mocked her "Maybe we should have taken away your fucking voice instead of your eyesight. Your voice was the thing that annoyed the hell out of us and its the only thing your good for"
"Leave me alone" Rachel whispered with tears in her eyes
"Why should I?" he taunted "Cause your disabled now? Cause your broken?"
"Im not broken" she told him firmly
"Really" he said laughing slightly "Who told you that? Your fag daddies?"
"I did" a voice came from beside the male.
He turned to it "Puckerman" he acknowledged
"Carson" Puck said back pushing him away from Rachel roughly "What do you think your doing?"
"Im just having a chat with berry" he told Puck "Right berry?"
"Dont talk to her" Puck told him menacingly "Ever"
"What is she your charity case now" Carson asked "You feel the need to protect her because noone else will ever give a shit about her." when he saw Rachel flinch at that he smiled "You know that dont you freak. Noone will ever love you because your more of a freak now than you were before"
Then Pucks fist collided with the hockey players face multiple times making him fall to the ground "I told you never to talk to her again" Puck yelled punching him with every word.
When she heard the other guy. Andy Carson she remembered his name as starting to gurgle she got worried "Noah Stop!" she yelled "Your going to kill him"
At hearing her voice he stopped and looked at the semi conscious bloody face of the hockey player. He got up and walked over to Rachel "Are you okay?"
"Im fine" she lied. Truth was that guy brought all her insecurities back and now she was also worried about Noah getting introuble
"Rachel" he said sternly
"Will you get in trouble?" she asked avoiding her real problem
He shook his head "Nah he wont tell anyone or the cops will know he was near you and they made it clear that wasnt allowed since his brother was the one that put the shit in your locker"
Rachel nodded "Can you take me home please?"
"Yea lets go" he said leading her back to the room "Im gonna take Rachel home early" he told them grabbing both their stuff
"Why? What happened" Mike asked noticing Pucks bloody hand
"She just got harrassed by some asshole but I took care off it" Puck told him
"Is he still alive" Santana asked making sure he didnt committ murder
Puck grunted "Unfortunately. Hes down the hall if anyone wants to get him but I think we should just leave him there"
Mr. Schue sighed and left the room checking out the injured boy because it was his job.
"We'll be by your house later" Matt told Rachel
She nodded and Puck led her to his car putting their stuff in the back. The ride was silent which unnerved him to no end. When they were in her house and Rachel went straight to her room he followed her only to find her on her bed shining a flashlight in her eyes. "What are you doing?" he asked her
"I want to see again" she told him "I need to be normal"
"Is it working" he asked sitting next her
"No" she told him throwing the flashlight across the room "Ill never be normal again"
He put his hand on her shoulder "You werent normal before"
"Thanks" she said sarcastically shrugging her shoulder to get his arm off
He laughed a little "What I mean was you were special. You talk a mile a minute and keep going for ten minutes straight without a breath. You worship the ground any broadway legend walks on and your like a GodDamn siren"
"A siren?" she questioned
"Yea those things that lure men with their voice" he said describing it
She laughed a little "I know what a siren is Noah but I dont think Im like one at all"
"Yea you are" he argued "whenever you sing its like everyone listens and cant take their eyes off you until your done and once someone hears you once they need to hear you again. I heard Britney say you needed to be inspected for hoarding angels up your throat"
Rachel smiled. Thats Britney."So what your saying is I dont need to be normal?" she checked
"Exactly" he said smiling "and who knows one day maybe you will get new eyes and see again"
"I hope so" she said quietly "I just really dont want Andy to be right"
"Carson?" Puck asked "Dont listen to him"
"How can I not" Rachel told him with tears in her eyes "He just voiced what I was already thinking" she got up off the bed "Noone is going to love me now. It was already a long shot before but now the odds are against me even more"
He was angry then. How can she think so little of her self. "Thats not true Rachel and you know it"
"Yes it is true!" she argued back "Im nothing anymore!"
He got up then "Your not nothing your everything" and then he crashed his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. At first she didnt move but once the shock wore off she kissed him back. They pulled apart when air became a necessity and Puck rested his forehead against hers. "I love you Rachel"
"You love me?" she asked making sure she heard right.
"Yea I do" he admitted "and I dont care whether your blind or have 20/20 vision Ill still love you"
Tears fell from her eyes then but this time they were happy tears. "I love you too Noah"
He smiled and kissed her again. She was happy now. Maybe things will be okay. She did make a new friend today and she had alot of people by her side. She can do this and somehow she will make her dream come true. Shes willing to do what it takes and with Noah by her side and all of her friends she knows she can make it happen.
REVIEWWW
I think Im gonna make it so she gets used to being blind and starts functioning good and then her dads tell her she has a donor because truthfully it does take awhile you dont just get a new organ in a week unless its like life or death or something.
So there together now and Matt didnt interrupt this time. No telling if he will again some other time though.
Sorry for the mistakes I have no beta and sometimes I just get to typing and dont realize I screwed up plus ive always sucked at knowing where to put commas and colons and stuff.
Tell me who you want Rachel to forgive next and maybe what you want to happen with the gang.
I was thinking Sam next...tell me if you agree
