Finn POV

I lost Rachel and it's all my fault...I was so stupid that I let her go…let her go with my ex- best friend. I took Rachel for granted. I thought she'll still take me back after what I did but I think I did too much. She's the only one who really knows me.

The first time I saw her, I thought she was just a girl who is obsessed about Broadway but once I joined glee and heard her sing… I saw an angel. She's sweet, funny, hot, caring and makes the best out of me. I fell in love with her… but I had a girlfriend, Quinn, the most popular girl in school and I was the most popular guy in school…we were the power couple. I did want to be with Rachel but when Quinn told me she's pregnant and I was so stupid to fell for it. So I need to be the father even if the real father is Puck… when Rachel told me Puck was the father, I was actually relieved that I'm not but I was so pissed at them for making me do things just to help her with the baby.

I finally had a chance to be with Rachel…but I gave in to temptation when Santana and Brittany asked me out and I was scared to that it will ruin my reputation if I was with Rachel. So I dumped her before we actually had a relationship and she got me to the core when she said that "I am a scared little boy" and sang "Gives you Hell". I felt so low about myself especially after my date with the two Cheerios…they totally ignored me.

I asked Rachel to be my girlfriend but she was already taken by that Jesse St. whatshisname. I know she wasn't in love with him as she was to me. It broke my heart when she told me that she did it with Jesse and I lied that I didn't … then they broke up and were together again. It was wonderful then she admitted that they didn't when we were together then she found out that I did it with Santana. We fought…I thought everything will be alright when she forgave me for hiding it from her but then she told me that she made out with Puck… I was hurt so I broke up with her. She tried to make me forgive her on Christmas but I just couldn't … I was angry. To get back at her, I dated Santana… I got so caught up with it that I did too much… and I had a wakeup call I love Rachel… but it was too late she was now in love with Puck… she left me…


Next Day…morning

Everyone in school watched the couple, Noah and Rachel, walk through the halls in awe… mostly Rachel …for wearing Noah's red and white football jacket… not even Finn let her wear his jacket.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the two …Noah's arm around Rachel's shoulder and Rachel's on his waist.

They were greeted by the crowd of the rest of the glee members…all cheered… Finn was less than optimistic but he finally accepted…Santana still gave them some mean side comments but it was ignored which pissed her off…meaning hated Rachel even more…

She walked away… angry… she get back at Rachel…


...afternoon

Rachel was getting some book from her locker when suddenly… she was pushed by Santana…

Rachel shouted "hey! What is wrong with you? "

Santana glared at her" Look hobbit! When the rest of the glee members grew tired of your moment and Puck has gotten bored with you… they'll forget about it and by "it " I mean you".

Rachel a bit pissed about what Santana said ….pushed Santana…she just smirked" You're at the bottom of the food chain Berry…no one ever liked you…Finn ..Jesse…Noah …they all just pity you ….for being such a loser…" Rachel felt stings on her chest…she was unable to speak …

Santana continued" you're a freak! An annoying…short, unappealing bitch… maybe that's why your mom didn't want you."

It took Rachel over the edge…before she realized it …she pulled Santana's hair

Santana screamed in pain and pulled Rachel's hair

"Take back what you said! Take it back!" glaring at Santana…. Her voice shaking full of anger and pain… she was never this angry before…she always cried or walk away but never violently angry before…she always bottled it up…

Rachel pushed her again…this time stronger making Santana bumped at the locker behind her…

Santana screamed and tackled Rachel

Both girls are now on the floor… pulling each other's hair…slapping…scratching…

The others were shocked …watching the fight of the two girls…some cheered…others just speechless…

A few minutes later…a whistle from was heard not far away…everyone was silent….even the two fighting girls …stopped what they're doing…

Coach Beiste shouted" Berry! Lopez! Knock it off or another pull of hair from each other and detention … for a month!"

Both girls begrudgingly let go of each other…still glaring at each other

Santana looked at the bruises and glared at Rachel "You'll pay for this manhands!" and walked away.

Rachel just stood there…in the middle of the hallway…shocked on what she did…


Two classes later… she was supposed to meet Noah before glee but skipped it so that he will question her of what just happen and the bruises on on her arm and a small wound on her face a little later…instead she texted him "sorry can't make it…bit busy right now see you at practice".

Then she heard a ring tone …it wasn't hers…she turned around and saw Noah right in front of her.

"Hey beau-" Noah just cut off what he was going to say when he saw a bruise on her face and the horrified expression Rachel was giving him." Rach…what happened? Santana?" Noah is very concerned to what happened to his girlfriend.

"I..It..It's nothing Noah" Rachel not able look at Noah in the eye "it's just some stupid fight…"

"just some stupid fight? Could be seriously be in trouble Rach… you could have end up in a hospital!" Noah upset and worried about if some happened to Rachel

Rachel held his hand and gave him a kiss on his cheek "I'm fine Noah…It's fine "with an assuring smile…Noah just nodded.

They went straight to the choir room. Once they were went inside…they were surrounded by the glee members…all asking questions of what happened … Rachel all replied them" I'm fine…It's okay…no need"

Everyone was silent when Santana finally came in glaring at everyone… and went straight to her sit…Rachel noticed that Santana has more bruises so she went to her and ask" are you okay?"

Santana gave her a questioning look" why are being nice to me Berry?"

Rachel replied "Because you're my teammate and in a team…we help each other"

"Hmph!" Santana obviously touched by Rachel's concern but tries to hide it…then she mumbled "I'm sorry"

"what?" Rachel was shocked about Santana's sudden apology

"don't make me say it again "embarrassed of what she was doing "I'm sorry okay!"

Rachel smiled at her" Apology accepted".

Few minutes later…Mr. Schuester arrived and all of the members went to their seats…

"okay guys… today is our second duet competition… and you know the prize is big… so you better bring it!... let the show begin"


All of the glee members did their all and flawlessly…

Mike and Tina-I see the light

Brittanny and Artie- A whole new world

Sam and Quinn- Start of Something New

Lauren and Mercedes- For Good

Santana and Finn- The Way You Lie


Finally it was Rachel and Noah's turn… Brad immediately stood up and let Rachel sit… she was gonna play the piano… which surprised some of the members and Mr. Schue because they don't even know she can play THAT well…

She began to play…

Ooh…oooh…

You, by the light

She look at Noah with affectionate eyes …as he was standing next to her
Is the greatest find

She smiled at him
In a world full of wrong

She looked around the room including the members and Mr. Schue
You're the thing that's right

And went back at looking at Puck

Finally made it through the lonely

She began standing up and let Brad take over the piano
To the other side

She held Noah's hand

You set it again, my heart's in motion

Noah joined her in the singing
Every word feels like a shooting star

They looked at each other's eyes
I'm at the edge of my emotions

Noah place his arms around her

Watching the shadows burning in the dark

Rachel leaned her head on Noah's chest

And I'm in love

She closed her eyes feeling the warmth from Noah's body
And I'm terrified

Noah hugged her tighter
For the first time and the last time

They reluctantly let go off each other
In my only life

They walk around the piano

And this could be good

Noah begun to sing his part
It's already better than that

They smiled at each other again
And nothing's worse

Looking at each other's eyes
Than knowing you're holding back

Like only he and she are in the room…singing for each other

I could be all that you need

They are almost meeting each other again
If you let me try

They are now facing each other

You set it again, my heart's in motion

Their faces are only just inches from each other
Every word feels like a shooting star

Noah began to placed his hands on Rachel's waist
I'm at the edge of my emotions

Rachel placed her arms around Noah's neck
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

They started to dance

And I'm in love

They laughed a bit
And I'm terrified

Noah twirled Rachel around
For the first time and the last time

Their hands are intertwined together
In my only

Their faces are almost so close that it looked like they will kiss

I only said it 'cause I mean it

Rachel placed her hand on Noah's cheek
I only mean 'cause it's true

Noah held her hand tighter
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming

He used his other hand to touch her face
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you

He kissed Rachel forehead…before placing again his hands to her waist

You set it again, my heart's in motion

He lifted her….
Every word feels like a shooting star

Started to turn each other around
I'm at the edge of my emotions

Rachel was hugging Noah tighter
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

Rachel began to raise her hands up on the air as Noah carried her…

And I'm in love

Noah slowly put her down
And I'm terrified

Now they're just standing there
For the first time and the last time

Smiling at each other
In my only…

Looking at each other's eyes

Life…life …

Their lips only centimeters away

In my only life…

Their lips finally met each other…kissing so passionately…


Then they pulled away from each other because of embarrassment when they realized that they are not alone…

The rest of the members … gave them a stand in ovation…others cried…of course- the girls and Mike…others threw whistles…of course -the boys
"Wow that was amazing guys…. Now it's time to announce our winner…with 10 votes out of 12…. The winners are… Puck and Rachel… congratulations…you are our leads for Regionals!" everyone cheered…
