Disclaimer: don't own Glee. Really wish I did.

Sorry it took sooo long for this chapter. Life got really bad there for a while but hopefully it's back on track :D

Will Schuester looked around the room at the nine teenagers, all eager to hear some news on their fellow team mate. All of them looked to be expecting the worst, with a few on the verge of tears. He knew he shouldn't be feeling like this but it sickened him. He finally understood how much hardship the New Directions star was put through and it was caused by everyone in this room, directly or indirectly.

'Rachel's come through. She's awake at the minute but the doctors want to keep her in for observation.'

A sigh of relief past through the room, a smile broke out on everyone's face. Hugs and laughs were exchanged, clearly they were happy that she had pulled through. Will sank into one of the uncomfortable chairs and held his head in his hands. Gripping at his hair he finally let the events of the night sink in. How the hell could he let this happen? He was supposed to be there for his kids but somehow Rachel fell through the cracks. Puck was right, however unintentional it was, he was using these kids – his kids – to relive something that was long gone. He couldn't get those days back, where he was the most popular kid in McKinley or when he had the most beautiful –and then sane – girl on his arm. He had just sworn to himself that it would never happen again when Brittany pulled him out of his thoughts.

'Finn, where are you going?'

'Rachel's awake. I'm going to go see her.'

And with that the lanky jock walked out of the room. The remainder of the room's occupants looked at each other and then turned one by one to look at Will, who was staring at the door in shock. Did he actually not get that Puck would punch him as soon as he seen him? And look what happen last time that happened. Will jumped into action and pushed open the doors of the waiting room to see Finn walking down the corridor.

'Finn…'

The boy kept walking as if he never heard his mentor.

'Fi-'

'Oi! Frankenteen!'

Will looked behind him to see what was left of the Glee club positioned behind Santana. He looked back to Finn how had stopped and turned around with a confused look on his face…surprising.

'You're not going in there. Get back in the waiting room or go home. That's your only options'

'What the hell, Santana? You can't tell me what to do'

And with that he turned back around and started towards the hospital room that for the moment housed Rachel and Noah.

'I said you ain't going in there. Now back in the waiting room before I make you'

'Yea? You and what army?

Mike and Matt were the first ones to step towards Santana. And slowly the rest of the Glee clubbers did the same, Brittany came up and linked pinkies with Santana. Kurt and Mercedes stepped forward, arms linked. Tina wheeled Artie right next to Matt. Finn looked to be in a state of shock…that was until Will stepped forward also. His expression turned to one of anger.

'Mr. Schue! How can yo-'

'Easily Finn. You're not to go near Rachel unless Puck or her father's say so. Seeing as I can't get in contact with them, Puck has control of who goes in and out of the room. If you ignore this, he'll call security on you and I'll have to ring your mother to make sure you don't step foot near here again. Got it?'

'Wha…Wh…God, I thought out of everyone you'd be with me Mr. Schue!'

'I'm with Rachel, Finn. I can't stand back and let her get hurt again. I've done the same thing for every one of you kids. I think it's time I did it for her'

Finn knew when he had lost (which is surprising as he doesn't seem to know an awful lot) and walked back towards the waiting room. He stopped when he reached the blockade his team mates had made, expecting them to move out of the way. When they didn't, he bulled his way through. He knew thought his night would turn out like this.

The other eight members of the Glee club and their teacher turned to make their way back into the waiting room to join the sulking teenager. As Santana turned she heard her name being called from further down the corridor. Turning back she saw Puck coming towards her.

'I heard what you said'

'And?'

'And it turns out you actually have a heart'

'Whatever Puck, don't make a big deal out of it. I was just looking out for Berry'

'Exactly'

'What you mean?'

'Come on, theres someone I'm sure would like to see you'

PezBerry friendship in the next chapter!
