A/N: I could not stop myself from writing this chapter so soon. I did it for you guys all my supportive viewers! I'd be mad at someone else if they left a cliffhanger like this.:)

Disclaimer: Sorry I know all you guys suspected I was Ryan Murphy undercover searching for loving Puckleberry supporters. But sorry I'm not. :(

Rachel's Time

"Welcome Rachel. We've missed you." Said a familiar wrinkled face. She recognized it the second she saw her face. Her pale soft loving face with its brown orbs of eyes that had a special glimmer every time she saw Rachel.

"Granny! Why are you in Lima? We thought you were dead…" Rachel said running over to her grandmother and hugging her tightly. Her grandmother withered hands ran through Rachel slick long hair. Dry hair. Rachel's eyebrows knit together and her grandmother held her by putting her hand's on Rachel's shoulders keeping her a distance so she can look at her.

"First let me say you look beautiful. You've grown so much." Tears shimmered in her eyes. Rachel looked down at herself. She wasn't wearing a bathing suit, but rather a soft green, like the back side of summer leafs, dress. It flowed down to the floor and showed her barefoot feet. It had I ivy colored rope clenching at her waist keeping it fitted. It was sleeveless which was odd considering its winter. But it didn't feel like winter here, it felt like spring. Then she looked around her seeing very tall oak trees, so tall she couldn't see the tops, and bright green grass. From the grass sprouted dozens of patches of tulips. Which was her and her granny's favorite. They felt like it wasn't obvious beauty like the rose but if you took a second glance you could see how its beauty over took the rose. Rachel looked out farther seeing a distance mountain with a crystal clear streaming river. The air was so fresh and free.

"I've missed you so much, granny. And this has been where you were?" Rachel questioned her own tears sliding down her face. Her Granny smiled sweetly and placed a hand on Rachel's cheek,

"No. I've been beyond this. This is the in between, its where you go if you get a choice."

"What choice?" Rachel asked confused.

"Weather you'd like to go forward with your guide, me, or go back. Back to the living." Her grandmother said gently. After a while of silence Rachel spoke again.

"I'm not ready to die, granny. I'm sorry. I will see you again right?"

"I understand dear, no one's ready to die. But when they do they get sent beyond. But those who had fallen before they're time get a choice. You where one of the fallen so it is right you choose to live the rest of the life God has given you." She smiled widely at her granddaughter's wise choice.

"Am I in my body now?" Rachel asked wondering.

"No, your body is on Earth, but your soul is here. In a minute it will be sent back to its body."

"So soon?"

"When we can't haveyou in that water very much longer, now can we?" Her granny teased.

"I love you Gran." Rachel said as tears fell down her face.

"I love so much Rach. You promise you'll find happiness? " tears spilled down her worn out face.

"I promise you I wil-… I can't breathe-e-e-e." Rachel said choking as she was pulled away. She saw her granny smile and wave good-bye Longley. And say faintly muttering to herself as if she wished she said it,

"Don't let Delilah win."

"Oh my god, she's dead! She's dead! You're the asshole who wouldn't give her the time of the day! You asshole!" Santana said as she started hitting Puck on the back of the head as he crouched over Rachel's lifeless body. Everyone was quite as Finn pulled Santana into a bear hug.

Then a purple face Rachel peeled open her eyes. It took only a few seconds to adjust to where she was. Her friends were sobbing as far as she could see and Santana was bawling her eyes out. Then she heard someone squeal,

"She opened her eyes!" Rachel certainly had her eyes open and the sudden realization the she could feel thick dampness on the back of her head. She reached her hand behind her head and she brought it back to see a small amount of blood. So she figured it was a minor cut.

"Santana, I choose. I choose to live." Rachel said with tears crumpling down her face. Santana crawled over to her and began hugging her. After a minute Santana pulled away and wiped her tears.

"You scared the shit out of me." She said giving a sad chuckle. "Thought I lost my best friend."

"I wouldn't choose that for you." Rachel said with a small knowing smile. "Can I talk to Noah alone." Santana nodded her head as she shuffled everyone out of the yard and into the house.

"I'll grab some gauze. You don't need to go to the ER do you?" Rachel shook her head and said,

"It's only a little blood." Santana nodded and said,

"Puckerman you're going to carry her in." She said in a demanding voice as she glared at him with eyes that didn't try and hide their hate. Delilah then shuffled in after Santana not even glancing at Rachel.

Puck propped Rachel up letting her lean against the inner of his knee/thigh.

"Noah I choose to come back. You were one of the reason I couldn't let it go." She said as she stared into his hazel eyes. Puck couldn't help himself he leaned in and moved his lips gently against her pale white ones. It was filled with such realization and sadness. Once they broke apart, Rachel let her withered, from the cold water, fingers run themselves against Puck's shaved head.

"I love you." He let slip from his lips, and instantly felt a stab of guiltiness.

"I love you too." Rachel said as she placed a soft kiss on his lips that lasted only a few seconds before Puck broke their lips apart.

"But I can't be with you. I'm with Delilah." He saw the pain in her eyes that he felt she saw in his as well. "I love her too." He said trying to convince himself. He scooped her up bridal style and carried her into the warm house. Laid her down on the sofa pulled a blanket over her, and left. He made contact with Santana like he was apolizeing for leaving. He grabbed Delilah's hand and they walked out the door. He threw one last look over his shoulder towards Rachel and he was crying.
