Author's Note: Finally got my hands on this story again! My USB got infected with virus and then all my stories were deleted. So, I had to rewrite this chapter all over again. Right now, I don't have a next chapter rewritten yet. Damn it! But aside from all those misfortunes, I hope you'll still like my rushed rewritten chapter.
Chapter 10: "Unexpected Twists along the Light"
Rachel smiled. Why is it that from all the people in the world, it has to be you that I trust so much, Noah? She wondered.
He caressed her cheek and brushed his thumb over the tears that she cried. He felt the need to press his lips against hers, but then…
"Rachel!" Roxy shouted, their heads snapped up to Roxy's direction, seeing her eyes (that was, by the way) trying to burn the contact between the crying star and the stud. "Didn't I call you over to call Noah so that we could rehearse? But what do I catch you doing?"
"Actually, the name's Puck." He said at the same time that Rachel said back, "We were just talking."
"Oh really?" she shouted, "You were just talking and suddenly felt the need to start tongue sucking? This is very unprofessional, Rachel!"
With that, she lost it, "We were just talking! You weren't here to see, so don't you dare tell me that I'm being inappropriate! Noah and I are just friends, and if you're jealous, then you must be a fucking cougar!"
Puck and Roxy's eyes both popped out of their sockets as the tiny figure cursed her way out of frustration. But, being the obnoxious badass that he is, Puck contentedly said, "Again, the name is Puck."
But Roxy, obviously unpleased, burst out the words, "You can go look for a new job, cause this what I say, Miss Rachel Berry. You. Are. Fired!"
All the sudden, Rachel felt her world crashing down to pieces.
"Hello?" a weak voice can be heard from the other line. "Mister St. James, how have you been?"
"Quit fooling around, Diana. I know it's you." He chuckled, "Caller ID."
Diana laughed from the other line which seems to be a hundred miles away. The relationship between the two, most of the time wasn't so peaceful. But they connect in some freaky voodoo way.
Jesse heard another woman's voice chuckling with the caller and so he asked, "Who's with you there, Diana? I can hear a second voice."
"Oh. Come by my place and you'll find out."
A woman drags her luggage along the road near Lima, Ohio. She had waist so tiny and ever so long legs that made her need to walk less that average human. She sighed.
The scenery was very peaceful and serene. The trees were green and tall like she remembered. The birds above her, chirped their way until they reach their nests, as the clouds travelled slowly along the light blue sky.
She's back.
Her limbs started moving again as they forced her to move forward. Her head bobbed side to side and she finally took a cab to an always so familiar house. She paid the cab driver with a generous tip along with a lovely smile.
She carried her own weight out of the cab and onto the Ohio streets. She walked a few steps towards the place she'd always dreamed of.
I'm back! She thought. She knocked on the door and on the third knock, the door opened with a familiar person's head popping out from it.
"Quinn?"
You thought that it was Rachel that was back in town because she got fired? Didn't you? Haha... I'm not ready to separate the two of them just yet. Review please! I wanna know what you think.
