Seriously, I love all of you for your amazing reviews/alerts :) Keep them coming, please! Thank you!

Here's chapter 10! Enjoy :)

Puck barely felt himself wake up and go to school. He felt as if he were in a trance, completely out of body experience. He talked to people, flunked a math test, ate waffles at lunch, and slept through English. All were daily activities, but he didn't feel right somehow. When the bell rang for glee club, it almost woke him up. Suddenly, he could see more clearly and was ready to belt out his song.

Shocking himself, he was the second one into glee club. Rachel was already seated, her head resting on her hand. She looked as if she was in deep thought. Puck didn't want to disturb her. Her head popped up, however. "Noah!" she exclaimed, startled.

He put his hands in his pockets. "You did good yesterday, Rachel."

She smiled, "Well, thank you, Noah. I don't think it worked, though. Finn still doesn't care. But, are you going to sing-"

"Puckerman. Man-hands," Santana interrupted, strutting in with Brittany on her hip.

Rachel sighed and frowned. Puck nodded, "Yeah I am."

Rachel smiled but it faded quickly as she nodded towards the door. In came Quinn, gripping Finn's arm. She was grinning widely and he was chuckling. He glanced over at Rachel and Puck wanted to punch him in the face. Finn smiled at Rachel, causing her to produce a fake grin back. Quinn glimpsed at Puck, her smiling face morphing into an expressionless one. Puck turned away, not wanting to look at her, it hurt too badly. The pair separated, Finn sitting directly next to Rachel. She looked sideways at him, clearly confused. Quinn sat in the front row, legs crossed. Puck watched her hand move up to her head, fixing her perfect ponytail.

Everyone eventually filed in, Sam was last to stroll in. He winked at Quinn, almost causing Puck to gag, and sat down next to her, taking her hand in his. Mr. Schuester pointed at Finn. "You're up, man"

Finn nodded and trooped to the center of the room. "Um," he awkwardly began to explain, "This song's dedicated to a special girl. She makes me, uh, feel at home."

Puck raised his eyebrows in disbelief. Sometimes he couldn't believe how dumb Finn was. The kid was actually going to sing to Quinn just a day after Rachel belted her heart out to him? Puck rolled his eyes; clearly Finn had a lot to learn about women. Puck glanced over at Rachel, whose color was draining quickly from her face. Finn sang.

I'm staring out into the night, trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain

Well, I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home, well I'm going home

The miles are getting longer, it seems, the closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love it makes true and I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try

So I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old

Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all and then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah

Oh, well I'm going home, back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home, I'm going home

Midway through the song, Puck watched as Rachel stood, unable to take anymore. Mr. Schuester shot her a look and she sat back down. She was in visible pain listening to Finn sing. When he ended, she stood and walked past him. Finn grabbed her by the arm and whirled her around. Puck leaned forward, listening intently. Finn mumbled, "Rachel, you're home to me. I used to wanna be popular and stuff, but that's not where I belong. I wanna be with you. I love you."

Puck let out a little fist pump in victory. He was happy for Rachel. She beamed at Finn, but quickly said, "But-"

She motioned towards Quinn and Finn shook his head. "We've decided just to be friends," he said, smiling.

Sam's head swiveled towards Quinn rapidly. "W-what?"

Quinn turned towards him, Puck finally able to see her facial expression. "What?" she shrugged, "We're friends."

Sam sighed and faced forward again. She continued to look at his face and she pursed her lips slightly. She turned her head, Puck unable to see her again. He focused his attention back on Finn and Rachel who were giddily grinning at each other. They both sat back down, staring into each other's eyes. Rachel broke eye contact for a second, only to send a small cheering gesture towards Puck. He rolled his eyes at her but smiled.

Mr. Schuester clapped, "Finn, that was great. And I'm happy for the two of you. Puck, your turn."

Puck nodded and reached behind him to grab his guitar. He slung it over his shoulder and stepped down, positioning himself in front of everyone. He glanced at Rachel and she shot him a tiny thumbs-up. He gazed over his fellow glee clubbers, Santana winking at him, and rested his eyes on Quinn. She was looking at her nails, but looked at him for a second before focusing back on her fingernails. Puck strummed along on his guitar and sang.

I miss you
I miss being overwhelmed by you
And I need rescue
I think I'm fading away
But I keep thinking that you'll wake me up with a whisper in my ear
I keep hoping that you'll sneak in my room

So I wait and I wait
And I run old scenes through my tired head
Of the days we laid by the school and said forever
Was that the best I'll ever be

I miss you
I miss talking all night long with you
And I need this to find a way to your home
My love can you hear me
Have I been hoping loud enough, wishing hard enough
Can you see me when I'm asleep all alone - alone

So I wait and I wait
And I run myself in the same old circles
I sit and I stare
And I run old scenes through my tired head
Of the days that we laid by the school and said forever
Was that the best I'll ever be

Can't keep my hands from shaking
Stumbling through the wreckage again
But you're gone

So I wait and I wait
And I run myself in the same old circles
And I sit and I stare
And I run old scenes through my tired head
Of the days that we laid on our backs and said forever
Was that the best I'll ever be
Was that the best I'll ever be
Was that the best I'll ever be
