Chapter Four
"Are you ok," he said as he hugged me tightly, "How did it go,"
"I take it this is Noah," said my father.
"Holy shit," said Noah. I elbowed him, rolling my eyes as it was a lost cause really.
"Hello Noah, call me Jeff it's nice to meet," said Jeff,
"It's nice to meet you too sir," Noah said.
"Noah can you get in touch with your parents, I'd like to discuss a few things," said Jeff.
"It's just my ma," said Noah. "My dad walked out on us about eight years ago,"
"I apologise," said Jeff.
"Nah my dad was a jackass, anyways," said Noah, "My ma's actually here, she's chaperoning, come I'll take you to her," we both followed him up to the rooms, where we were all staying. He knocked on his mother and sister's door, "Hey ma open up, Rach is back,"
"Noah Aaron Puckerman must you bang the door so loud," said Deborah's voice. Noah blushed and me and Jeff laughed at his embarrassment. "Rachel sweetie, how are you," Deborah pulled me into a hug, "How did it go,"
"It went well, he's actually here," I said. Deborah stared at Jeff, and looked stunned.
"Mrs Puckerman can I talk with you in private," said Jeff,
"Of course sir," said Deborah, "But please call me Deborah, Rachel Noah why don't you go and hang out with the rest of the club, I believe Mr Schue ordered pizza,"
We did just that mostly we hung out with Noah's little sister Sarah, after I told Noah what happened not all of it but the basics. "Well if anyone deserves happiness it's you," he said.
"Rachel, Noah would you come with me for a minute," said Deborah walking into the room.
"Sure," we followed her back to the other room and sat on the bed, I noticed that Mr Schue was in here too.
"Rachel, as I said earlier I'd like to get to know you, I've discussed it with your principal and Deborah here and they've agreed, it's just up to you to decide," said Jeff.
"Decide what exactly," I said.
"After you've seen the performance tomorrow I understand you only have three weeks left until the summer break, I'm going to tell my boys about you tonight and I'm wondering if you would like to come and stay with us on our island," he said.
"If your boys agree then yes," I said. "But can you tell them I'm sorry about all of this,"
"Rachel it's not in any way your fault," said Jeff. "So is that a yes,"
"Yes," I said. "I'd like to get to know you,"
"Well then, I'm coming to see you tomorrow and we can go from there okay," he said. "I'll have some extra clothes sent for you at a later date, I'm going to leave you now to get some rest it's no doubt been a very long day for you, I will see you tomorrow,"
"I'll come with you to the lobby," I said.
We said our goodbyes, he left me his number and gave me a tight hug, it made me feel positive that this would be amazing, although I did have to meet his boys, now that I was worried about. The next day I spent with Jeff, Noah Deborah and Sarah, we went to a restaurant and got to know each other a little better.
Later on we watched the performance and the winners were really good, I hoped we would be that good when we compete next year. We had a small party in the hotel room as we wanted to remember our time in New York and then my phone beeped, it was Jeff telling me to meet him down in the lobby, he didn't want to intrude on our party. "Well I guess I'm going then," I said to Noah, he Deborah, Sarah and Mr Schue had come to see us off.
"If you need me call me okay," said Noah.
"I will," I said. "Thank you,"
"Us Hot Jews gotta stick together," he said. He gave me a tight hug and then I got into the car with Jeff.
It was a little quiet at first, "So," I said. "Are we going to the airport,"
"Yes," he said. "But I have my own jet, which I'll be piloting myself, I spoke to the boys last night," he sounded a little tense. "I'm not sure they've taken it too well, so try not to take anything they say to heart, I think they're in shock,"
"It's understandable," I said. "I'll just be myself, how long will the flight be,"
"About three hours," he said.
We arrived at the airport and he helped me into the jet which looked very modern. "Wow," I said. "This is much different to most jets I've seen,"
"Well put on your harness and let's go home," he said. The engine started with a roar and within minutes we were off. It was amazing.
