"What are you doing here?" asked Anna as she walked into her house.

"Came to see you, babe," said Adam following her. "Surprise!"

"I'm surprised alright," said Anna walking up the stairs.

"Heard you've already got into a fight," said Adam.

"He had it coming," chuckled Anna.

"He?" asked Adam. "You got into a fight with a dude?"

"Yeah. A football player," said Anna sitting down on her bed.

"What did he do?" asked Adam sitting next to her.

"Tossed a Slushy in my face," said Anna. "Twice."

"I think I might go talk to this dude," said Adam.

Anna took his hand in hers, "I've taken care of it."

Adam smiled and leaned over to kiss Anna. Anna leaned back from him and scooted away.

"Babe, what's wrong?" asked Adam scooting closer to her.

"We aren't together anymore, Adam," said Anna.

"We both know you still love me," he said.

"That may be the case, but I'm not going to sleep with you," said Anna.

"Come on babe," said Adam running his hand up her thigh. "For old time's sake."

"I think you should leave," said Anna standing up.

Anna opened the door to her room and leaned on it. Adam sighed and stood up from her bed. He kissed her cheek and walked out of the room. Anna sighed and flopped back down on her bed.


Anna was talking to Santana and Brittany the next day when Puck came into the room. He grabbed his guitar and started strumming on it. Anna smiled when she realized what song it was.

"What are you smiling at?" asked Brittany.

"Nothing," said Anna taking her seat.

"I've got some great news," said Mr. Schuester.

"Before you do that, I've been working on something," said Puck.

"Go right ahead," said Mr. Schuester sitting down.

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
but then I know it's growin' strong.
Was in the spring
then spring became the summer.
Who'da believed you'd come along ?
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you.

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good.
I've been inclined
to believe they never would.
But now I /

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.

I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...

Puck put his guitar up and sat down behind Anna. Anna was fixing to say something to him when there was a knock at the door. Mr. Schue motioned for the guy to come in. Anna turned around to see who was there. The smile she had on her face was gone.

"Guys. This is Adam Kelser. He just transferred here and is joining Glee Club," said Mr. Schue. "Welcome to the New Directions."

Adam smiled and sat down next to Anna. He placed a hand on her thigh and she stood up and walked out of the room. Adam stood up to go after her, but Puck was already out of the room. Puck walked the halls until he found her sitting outside in a tree. He walked over to the tree and looked up.

"You've got to find better hiding spots," said Puck leaning against the tree.

"Not trying to hide," said Anna. "Just trying to get away."

"You want me to kick his ass?" asked Puck.

"No, Noah," said Anna.

"I could, ya know. He shouldn't put his hands on you like that. I mean, shit, it's only his first day here," said Puck.

Anna jumped down from the tree and stood next to him.

"Actually," said Anna. "He saw me last night."

"You could've warned us," said Puck.

"He told me he was just visiting," said Anna.

"You know him, don't you," said Puck.

"He's my ex-boyfriend," said Anna.

"Nice," said Puck. "Must really love you if he transferred to Lima to be with you."

"Not really," said Anna.

"AC! There you are!" shouted Adam. "Your mom called. She wants us home."

"Us?" asked Anna.

"Yeah. She's letting me stay with ya'll," he said smiling.

Anna groaned as she walked off with him. Puck watched her leave. He walked back into the school and grabbed his guitar and started strumming on it.

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
you are not alone

Puck laid his guitar down and walked out of the choir room.
