"Puck needs to make his decision. It's me or wheezy here." Santana yelled, causing everyone to look at the resident badass.
"What?" Puck asked, noticing the looks.
"Who do you want?" Mercedes asked glaring at him. Santana raised her eyebrow and crossing her arms, daring him to pick Mercedes over her.
"You want me to tell you who I want?" Puck asked, hoping that this was all a joke.
"Yes!" the two girls yelled in unison before going back to glaring at each other.
"Fine," Puck responded getting up and walking over to the band, telling them the song name. He noted out of the corner of his eye, Quinn and Tina moving Rachel to the seat front and center. He also noted the smirks they sent him. He cursed them and their perception skills that picked up on what no one else had. Puck noticed Mike and Matt sharing a look and he cursed them too, them and their knowing him for too long. Shaking off his nerves, after all, he was about to tell the girl of his dreams (literally) how he felt about her, that he still wasn't over her. To make matters worse his best friend (maybe ex-best friend, he didn't know what they were exactly) liked her, and, Puck would never admit it out loud, but Jess kind of scared him. He was a male Rachel and Rachel terrified him. Sure he could beat St. Douche up easy, but it was the revenge part that worried him slightly.
Puck cleared his throat as he took his spot and looked right at Rachel.
"This song expresses how I've been feeling about this girl since our week ended. Rach, I know you have a guy that you're crazy about; and Finn, I know how hard you're fighting for her; but Rachel, no matter how hard I tried, I can't get over you. Q is pregnant with my child, but she knows that I love you. And for me, what we had was real. I just want you to know, so I'm using a song by that title by my little sister's favorite singer, Jesse McCartney."
I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know
"Rach, I can't let you go. I completely understand if you don't feel the same; after all you're with Jesse, who you claim is your Prince Charming, and you have Finnessa following you around like a lost puppy. But where does that leave me?" Puck asked.
Rachel stared at him in shock for a moment before standing up and hugging him tightly.
"I don't need a Prince Charming. Jesse broke up with me after the Run, Joey, Run thing. So, that leaves me completely available and also not over you." Rachel replied with a smirk.
"What about the puppy?" Puck gestured to Finn.
"I'm more of a cat person." Rachel responded, pressing her lips to Puck's lightly.
