Noah felt horrible, not just physically horrible but emotionally too. After he left Santana's he went to the liquor store and bought 2 bottles of Jack Daniels planning on drowning his sorrows. He hated himself, no wait hate wasn't the right word, he despises himself. He had the most amazing girl ever and he threw it away for a one night stand. Noah figured it could have been worse. He could have just kept it a secret and married Rachel without her knowing. But then it would eat at him every day of his life. It was the day after his almost wedding when there was a knock at the door. Dragging himself out of bed he made his way to the door. Not before stopping in the kitchen getting rid of his newly empted bottle of Jack. Opening the door he was met with a fist to the face.

"You son of a bitch." Matt was quickly on top of Noah punching him in the face. Noah didn't even bother fighting back he knew he deserved it. "You fucking hurt her. I can't believe you." Matt stood up after his fists were full of blood. He wanted so badly to kill him but he knew Rachel would not be happy with that.

"I know I did and I'm sorry. You don't know how sorry I am." Noah was now sitting up leaning against a wall crying. "I am a stupid fuck up and I hurt the most important person in the world to me." Noah started to sob uncontrollably. "I love her so much and I threw it away for a drunken one night stand. I miss her so much already." Matt knew he should be mad, but he felt bad. After all Noah was his friend too. Matt sat down on the floor beside him.

"You fucked up bad. Like so bad I don't know if you could ever fix this." Hearing this Noah hit his head against the wall. "You had to have known that fucking her would fuck up you and Rachel." Noah nodded.

"I knew it would, just I can't even explain it. It was stupid and reckless. I hurt Quinn I know I did but I was so pissed at myself for giving in that I took it out of her." Matt thought about it for a second and then it came to him which way he meant he hurt her.

"Did you at least use a condom?" Matt needed to know for Rachel sake just in case she took him back.

"No." Noah dropped his head knowing that was his biggest mistake.

"Dude you know if gets pregnant you are for sure done." Noah just nodded unable to speak. Matt was starting to get sick of hearing Noah's crap and told him why he was there.

"Listen I need you to get outta her for a while so Rachel can come and grab some stuff. I told her me and San would do it for her but she wanted to come."

"What time?" Noah would walk threw a fire right now if that was what Rachel wanted.

"In an hour and please stay gone for a while, I'll call you when she's done." Noah just nodded as Matt got to his feet.

"I hope you find a way to fix the mess you made because I can't stand to see her cry anymore. Did you know last night she fell asleep in my arms crying?" Noah just shook his head no longer trusting his voice.

"I will try everything I can man. But don't worry I'll be gone before she gets her." Matt just nodded, turning and leaving.

An hour and a half later Rachel and Santana were pulling up in front of her old building. She wanted to go alone but Santana and Matt wouldn't let her. So Rachel, being Rachel, got it down to just Santana. The pair walked up to the door stopping just outside of it.

"I can get your stuff alone if you don't wanna go in there." Santana had her hand on Rachel's back rubbing small circles on it.

"No I have to go in there and do this." Santana nodded watching as Rachel but her key in the lock. When they walked in the first thing that hit them was the scent of blood. Matt had told Rachel about the fight when he got back and to say she was pissed was a freaking understanding. Right away she seen the spots on the floor and the wall where the man she loved had bleed. Going further into the house she stopped in the kitchen seeing many empty bottles littering the counter tops. Rachel picked up one of the bottles and ran her hands down the side.

"And the angles sang a whiskey lullaby." She quietly sang to herself before placing the bottle down. She remembered hearing Noah sing the once when he drank whiskey. Leaving the kitchen she made a b-line for her room wanting nothing more than to get the hell out of that house. Rachel walked into her bedroom shock and anger taking over her body.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Rachel's tiny hands were balled into tight fist. Hearing Rachel's voice made Quinn get to her feet quickly.

"Umm I came to talk to Noah I didn't know you were coming." This pissed Rachel off even more. Rachel was raised to be a lady but at that very moment the last thing on her mind was being a lady.

"Oh so you came to see if he would fuck you again? So fucking him two days before our wedding and ruining my life wasn't good enough for you? You just had to come back for seconds." Santana stared shocked at Rachel swearing. Sure she heard her do it before but not very often.

"No I just wanted to make sure he was ok." Quinn knew she sounded stupid and looked desperate but she wanted to know what happened.

"You want to make sure he's ok? What about me huh? Oh that's right you don't give a shit about me. Well let me tell you he's not ok. His life is ruined because he gave in to a slut and ruining our relationship. Don't you get that we were getting married? Oh wait, you did because you were a fucking brides maid." Rachel was fuming and Santana was having a hard time holding her back from launching herself at the blonde. "Get the fuck out of my house you home wrecking slut." Quinn with tears in her eyes quickly pushed past the two to leave. As she was talking past Santana the Latina gave her a little push caused her purse to fall to the floor her belongings spilling out. Quinn quickly got to her knees to pick them up.

"Oh look the slut is doing what she does best, getting on her knees." Rachel remarked as she went into her room leaving Santana in the hall with Quinn. Once Quinn was to her feet Santana grabbed her arm.

"You stay the hell away from both of them or I will put you in the ground, got that?" Quinn just nodded pulling her arm free and fleeing the house. Santana stood in the door way watching Rachel move about the room packing up things she would need and things she would want. She watched as Rachel picked up and framed picture of herself and Noah running her fingers over his face before putting it down. Once her bags where packed Rachel picked up the note book she kept on the side table ripping a piece of paper out of it. Writing a note she brought the paper to her lips before laying it in front of the picture.

"Let's go." Santana met her half way picking up some of the bag while wrapping her free arm around a crying Rachel.

Noah got the call saying Rachel was done and he could go back home. Walking into the house he looked around for differences. There were a few pictures missing from the living room but nothing major. Walking into the room his breath caught in his throat. Everything that was Rachel was gone from the room. Going over to her side of the bed he sat down rubbing his hands up and down the comforter. Turing his head he seen the note sitting there waiting to read. Pulling the paper down he watched as Rachel's engagement ring fell to the floor. He shouldn't be surprised but it broke his heart even more. Picking up the ring he palmed it before reading the note.

Noah,

I don't even have the words to say to you how I'm feeling. What you did hurt more then you could ever know. For me you were the one, the person I would spend the rest of my life with. But I guess for you I wasn't the one. It's ok with time I'll move one and be ok. I don't hate you, no matter how much I want to hate you I don't. I love you too much to hate you but in time that love will fade. The pain in my chest will go from a crippling pain to a dull ache. I gave the ring back because it is a reminder of what I almost had and it kills me to look at it. Sell it, melt it, give it to Quinn for all I care I just don't want it anymore. I hope you find happiness.

Rachel Berry.

P.S. You don't understand how excited I was that I was finally going to get to sign something Rachel Puckerman.
