A/N I own nothing! Sorry for the delay, real life has been a bitch!
Chapter 10
It had been two days since the whole 'Sorry Puck, Finn's the baby daddy' incident dropped and glee club was tenser then ever. Rachel had quickly told Finn that he was no longer the male lead because she couldn't even stand to look him in the eyes let alone sing with him, Quinn had been sobbing in the corner trying (and failing) to get Puck to forgive her and Puck was only in glee club still because he didn't want to let down Rachel. With Sectionals in only two weeks, Mr. Shuester was busy trying to get the kids ready, which was proving harder then he originally thought it would.
"Guys, I know things are... tense at the moment, but we really need to concentrate. We can't and won't win Sectionals if we aren't prepared." Mr. Shuester told the club glancing down at Rachel, pleading with his eyes for her to say something.
Rolling her eyes, Rachel stood up and clapped her hands in an effort to create some excitement.
"Mr. Shuester is right, we need to win Sectionals, we need to show people that we aren't losers..."
Rachel started to say before she was cut off by Quinn mid speech.
"You maybe a loser but I am certainly not." Quinn snapped making Puck clench his hands into fists.
"Nah, you're just a lying, cheating slut." Puck sneered which in turn made Quinn's bottom lip tremble and her eyes water.
"Don't speak to her like that man!" Finn yelled, which caused Puck to lose it.
Lunging forward, Puck tackled Finn into the ground, punching him in he face a few times before being hit by Finn when the taller boy finally managed to realise what was going on. Stepping away from the boys so she wasn't hit, Rachel began screaming at Mike and Matt to do something which was all the shocked boys needed to hear before springing into action, pulling Finn and Puck away from each other.
"Guys, no fighting!" Mr. Shuester screamed once Finn and Puck were safety on the opposite of the choir room. "We need to try and get along. You may hate each other but I at least need you guys to try... can you do that for me?" Mr. Shuester asked making Finn nod his head slowly, his hand coming to rest on his sore jaw, "Puck?" Mr. Shuester questioned when the mohawked teen still hadn't said anything.
Looking over at Rachel who was biting her bottom lip with tears in her eyes, Puck turned to Mr. Shuester and nodded before ripping himself from Mike's grip and walked out of the choir room. When Quinn rushed to Finn's side, Rachel did the same for Puck, rushing out of the choir room and after the hurting badass.
"Noah wait up!" Rachel yelled, following him into the boys locker room not caring if she wasn't supposed to be in here, "Noah you need to go to the nurse." Rachel whispered quietly when she saw that his right eye was already starting to bruise.
"I'm fine, I've had worse, Finn hits like a fucking pussy." Puck replied gruffly, pulling out his drink bottle from his locker and squirting the water onto his face, "M'fine," Puck assured Rachel.
Taking a step forward, Rachel made Noah sit on one of the benches in the locker room and gently ran her fingers down his jaw, biting her bottom lip in concentration as she did so.
"You're hurt Noah," Rachel whispered, "You need to go to the nurse and at least get some ice." Rachel told him softly.
"I'm okay Rachel, promise." Puck whispered, taking her hands into his and bringing them down to rest on his lap.
"You might be okay physically but... but I know you are hurting inside... You can talk to me Noah," Rachel whispered squeezing onto their interlaced hands gently.
"M'fine." Puck repeated, not letting go of Rachel's hands as he maintained eye contact with the girl who he hasn't been able to stop thinking about.
"Noah... I won't tell anybody." Rachel promised, her eyes closing when she saw him leaning forward.
Letting out a soft whimper when his lips pressed against hers, Rachel let herself enjoy the slow, sweet kiss before she pulled away; tears in her eyes.
"I-I can't be your rebound Noah," Rachel whispered sadly, "I-I just... I can't." Rachel told him more firmly before giving him one last look and then turning on her heel and sprinted out of the door leaving a frustrated Puck in her wake.
