Sorry for the delay… but there was too much to do at school last week and I'm like sooo tired. But thanks for the comments, Favorite story alerts,(etc). Also, I'm planning on doing a one shot that involves Beth and Rachel/Pucks future soon… what do you guys think?
Anyways, here is the story!
(p.s. sorry for the cheesy song at the beginning)
P.S.S. I Own nothing Fox does, but I wish I owned Puck.
Rachel's POV!
"Another day,
Another hour,
Another minute,
Another second, wasted regretting your love"
Hey that sounds pretty good! I still can't believe I'm writing a song! Over the years Noah made it look so hard, but I guess when you have inspiration, it can just come to you.
I was just finishing up the last verse when the door bell rang. Who could that be? It definitely wasn't… the one who shall not be named (Finn), my dad's were on yet another business trip, Shelby was in New York with Beth to see her first Broadway Show (they were going to see Wicked, a personal favorite of mine), and Kurt and Quinn were at the mall.
They called earlier to check up on me, it's like a daily routine now. They'll call almost three times a day and maybe come over and hang out for an hour. We never really talked about what happened at Pucks party a month ago. Actually it was if we never talked at all, But then Kurt would talk to Quinn about how much fun Finn and Sam are having at football camp, all the friends that they made, and how much they miss me and Quinn.
"Coming!" I yelled making my way down the stairs. The door bell rang again. "I'm coming!" I yelled louder now only five feet from the door. "God what the hell is your- Puck what are you doing here!"
"Why Rachel that is no way to greet a friend, expressly the cursing... you never curse! Tiss-tiss," Noah mocked.
I rolled my eyes as he continued ",and to answer your question Kurt called me and told me to check up on you. He said you were like depressed or something and it looks like he was right. No offense Rach but this whole Finn thing is…" Did he really just say that? I told Kurt multiple times that I don't want to talk about it and that I was fine, but he won't listen to me! Just his name alone brought back so many memories. Our first kiss, winning nationals, and the first time he told me he loved me, Homecoming, it was all too much. Hot, heavy tears started to form in my eyes. I nearly slammed the door in Noah's face and stumbled onto the couch before starting to cry. Why did he have to bring it up? Oh right because he's Puck the 'bad ass' who cares about no one but himself. All of a sudden the door opened showing an apologetic Noah Puckerman.
"Look Rach, I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring it up," he said as he closed the door and slowly started walking toward the living room. "Hey I don't want to sound like that werewolf guy from Twilight," Noah whispered joining me on the couch, "but what Finn did to you was so wrong. And although you might think it ,but I would never hurt you like that Rachel." I couldn't help but chuckle.
"Twilight…really Noah?" I laughed
"Hey when you live with a teenage little sister and a mom who in her spare time reads romance novels, you are introduced to a whole new world. And by the way, you say anything about that to the guys, you're dead meat, Berry!" There was the old Noah again. I was starting to get worried. "Do you know what will make you feel better?" he asked me standing up.
"What?"
"You, Rachel Berry need a hug." He said opening his arms.
"Ok first Twilight and now hugs, who are you and what have you done with Noah Puckerman?" I joked falling into his arms. I felt so safe there, like he was my own personal shield that would protect me from the dangers of the summer.
"Thank you, Noah." I said finally letting go.
"Alright now that the hugging has ended get your ass upstairs and get dressed." he ordered.
"No!" I whined walking out of the room. "I don't want to go anywhere!" I slumped over to the kitchen and turned the coffee pot on.
"Oh yes you do, and by the way you're going with me even if I drag you out by your hair." Yeah, right.
He would never do that to me. Sometimes I think the badass act gets to his head.
"I'm dead serious Berry I will!" he said now only 2 feet away from me. He won't hurt me, I thought taking a sip from my coffee.
I turned around for one second and next thing I know I'm flung over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes now drenched in hot coffee.
"OH MY GOD NOAH PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed as he carried me up the stairs. When he reached my room he kicked open the door, put me down on my bed ,and pointed to my closet, "Go get dressed" he ordered.
"Fine but only because you so rudely picked me up and made me spill extremely hot coffee on myself." I said walking toward my closet. I picked out a jean skirt and a gold star tee that Kurt gave me for my Birthday.
"Can you leave?" I asked him and he walked out without another word.
When I got back down stairs I found Noah impatiently waiting for me. "Done?" he asked I nodded, he opened the front door. As we walked to his blue Chevrolet I thought about the puddle of coffee on my kitchen floor. "Noah what about the-"
" I Already cleaned it up." He answered reading my mind; Finn would never have done that…
Glee!
We ended up at the park hanging out on the swings.
"Can you push me, Noah? I never was any good at getting high on the swings. Remember that contest we had after we got back from Regional's; me, you, Quinn, and Finn, and I was scared of falling off, so I lost?" I asked him.
"Sure. Slow down for a second. I'll show you how to swing yourself." He replied.
I immediately slammed my feet on the ground to stop my swing. I felt Noah's warm hands on my back pulling me higher and higher.
"N-not too high, Noah, I'm not great with heights." I admitted. He laughed and just pulled me higher.
"I'm serious!" I screamed, laughing hard.
"Don't worry; I won't let you get hurt. I promise." He assured me.
He kept pulling me higher and higher, and I got more nervous each time. But I eventually learned to trust him. He was right. He would never let me get hurt.
Suddenly, I felt a small drop of water hit my shirt. The weathercast had predicted a sunny day, so I just ignored it. But the sky got darker and the raindrops kept falling. Before I knew it, it was pouring."PUCK, LET'S GO!" I screamed over the loud rain. I dug my feet into the ground and started to go towards his truck.
"OKAY," he screamed back, "BUT I HAVE YOUR FINN NECKLACE!"
He ripped it off my neck and ran in the other direction.
My mind was on full alert as I ran after him. He was sprinting all around the park like a two year old, and I was forced to follow him. I needed that necklace back.
After a few minutes of slipping and falling around in the mud, I finally got a hold on his back. I jumped on top of him and he went down.
"GIVE. ME. MY. NECKLACE. BACK." I growled.
"Okay." He answered calmly. We were face to face and close to enough to hear each other clearly.
Noah reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a gold chain. It was my necklace. I smiled and thanked him.
He pulled my face closer to his to put on my necklace. But instead, his lips attacked mine. It was nothing I have ever experienced before. My mind flashed back to sophomore year when we dated. His lips so soft as they molded into mine. Everything was erased from my mind all I could think about was Noah Puckerman. When we eventually broke apart I smiled as he grabbed my hand "Come on," he said dragging me to his car.
"Wait!" I said letting. I ran over to the lake nearby where Finn and I had once shared out fist official kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend. I took my necklace out of my pocket and flung it into the water, sending all my worries away with it. I turned around to see Noah staring at me. Without thinking I tackled him onto the ground once again
"I always hated that necklace." I whispered in his ear.
"So did I." he said pulling me in for yet another kiss
So there you have it…. Puckleberry has been formed.
Don't forget to review!
