Chapter 10
Puck sat there on the couch, a piece of paper before him and a pen in hand. He had absolutely no idea how he was going to say this.
He had to write a note to Beth telling her that if she wanted to know the real story, she should come talk to him. But he had to accomplish this without sounding like a maniac.
After sitting there for about ten minutes, Puck finally managed some words onto the paper.
Dear Beth,
I know that we just met, and you don't know a lot about me, but I hope you know what I mean when I say that we have a history. If you do, and you want to find out the truth, just come find me. If you really know, you'll know where to find me.
Signed,
Puck
It wasn't a lot, but it still sent the message needed. Now all that was left was to actually give the note to Beth without Quinn finding out. Puck figured that the easiest way to do this was to slip the note under Beth's bedroom door. The only thing is, he didn't know which bedroom was Beth's.
Quinn and Beth lived in a house where you could see the upstairs hallway from the living room. Puck could see that there were five rooms on the second floor. He guessed that one was Beth's room, another Quinn's, a bathroom, Quinn's office, and a guest room.
He studied each door carefully, looking for any clues of which room was which. One door was slightly open, and through the crack, Puck could see that it was painted a cream color and had tiles on the wall. He guessed that this was the bathroom.
The bathroom was located close to a door that had unopened boxes in front of it. Puck narrowed his eyes and saw that each box was labeled with a word. One said 'Christmas decorations' and another said 'Beth's old toys'. Puck recalled his high school days with Quinn, and he remembered her saying that her parents usually used the guest room as a storage room at their house. He came to the comclusion that Quinn did the same.
Next to the guest room was a door that had a sign hung on it. The sign was for a real estate company. It had a picture of Quinn smiling slightly. It was obviously a fake smile, the kind that students wore for their yearbook pictures. That was Quinn's office.
All that was left were two rooms, side by side. One was Beth's and the other one was Quinn's. Both were painted a clean white, and had no markings or posters identifying which room was which.
Puck was left with only one option: go upstairs and listen. He didn't want to do it, it would feel like he was invading their privacy, and the new and improved Noah Puckerman did not invade people's privacy. But there wasn't another choice, unless Puck wanted to leave the note on the coffee table and risk Quinn finding it.
Puck silently thanked Quinn for putting carpet on the stairs. Carpeted stairs barely ever creaked, which Puck could use to his advantage. He soundlessly made his way up the stairs, going two steps at a time. After two minutes, Puck found himself standing in front of the two bedrooms. Through the cracks between the door frame and the door itself, he could see that the light inside the bedroom closest to the bathroom was on.
Puck silently pressed his ear against the door. He heard the sound of someone's deep breathing and a late night news broadcast. He knew that was Quinn's bedroom.
The light inside the other bedroom was not on. Puck again listened. He heard the sound of light, delicate feminine snoring and he knew that was Beth. He took a deep breath before sliding the note under the door.
As soon as he tucked the note beneath the thick wood, he quietly jogged down the stairs. He walked to the front door and looked back at Beth's door. He put his hand on the doorknob but didn't move. He said four words before walking out the door.
"My baby, please come."
As he closed the door behind him, he didn't hear the sound of a bedroom door opening.
