A/N: I rewrote and rewrote and reworte this chapter until I was happy with it. I just didn't feel inspired to write, and I didn't want to post crap so I waited until I got the right idea. I hope you guys enjoys this though!oh and the song I used in this chapter I changed the words from "he, his..." To " her...she..." Just a warning, I still don't own anything! And in this story Jesse never existed until now...got some wicked ideas... Muahahahaha...another slight warning...some of the songs I'll be singing, will obviously be sung bu real singers...but I'm gonna write it as if either Puck or the record comapany producers and writers wrote them. I'll warn you though, like in this chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 14:First Gig
Nothing, nothing could pass to what he was feeling now. He was feeling this sensation inside of him that he couldn't believe he could actually ever feel. He missed her so badly it hurt, even though he was only gone for two weeks, it felt like he was gone for longer.
They weren't exactly together, because of what happened when he left New -York, but they both apologized to each other, and now they were on the same page, he just hoped that when he went back to New-York, whenever that was, that they could finally be together, because he really, as in really, loved her, and at the moment he wasn't sure if she knew that but he was going to make sure she knows.
That's why he was doing what he was doing now, writing a song. His own. Yeah, it might be a shock to some people, but he wasn't that dumb. He wanted to become a screen writer, but this, it beat that hands down. He could write songs to Rachel showing her how much he truly cared and loved her, he was going to show eveyone that Noah Puckerman could do something with his life, and that all thanks to Rachel Berry.

5 months. 5 months and two weeks to be exact. She looked at herself in the mirror and ran her hands over her bump, it was showing now, not that much, but people could see that she was pregant, and they all gave her compliments about how the baby would be in the greatest of hands, and some even gave her advice, which she didn't really need because she had her mom and Quinn. But she still took the advice, not wanting to be rude.
"Rach are you ready we're going to be late!" Santana yelled from the bedroom. She was working her shift today at the diner again, and she really enjoyed working there, she still had the opportunity to sing there, now that she won't be able to Off-Broadway shows now since she was pregnant, so she enjoyed being there, still being able to show off her great talent.
Rachel walked out of the bathroom only to find Santana waiting impatiently on her bed."Even while your pregnant, you're still the fucking diva that you are. Gosh you will never change." Shaking her head, she grabbed her keys and walked out of the room with her short uniform.
"Well Santana that's the point. I'm never going to change. I will always be the annoying diva that shows off her talent to everyone making sure that they know I sing better than them." She said playfully, making Santana scoff.
"Whatever Berry, I challenge you, at the Diner, a sing off." She said with a evil smirk.
"Even with this baby bump I'll still beat your ass. Bring it." She said placing both her hands on her hips, looking incredibly adorable but somewhat scary at the same time, thank goodness she was in a good mood, otherwise Santana would have been dead, and that's saying something.
Kurt didn't work today, so he decided to spend time working on a original designer outfit for the baby, he wanted it to be a surprise, so he refused when Rachel pouted, demanding to see it. He was fairly happy with the way things have been going the last few months, his best friend was having a baby that he will spoil, most definitely, and he and Blaine was meeting up the following weekend, to spend time together, and Blaine knew he already had ideas for the wedding, even though it was only taking place the following year.
When the two girls finally arrived at the diner, there were not much people there, and they looked kind of bored so they decided that it was time for their sing off to begin. It was only a friendly sing -off, they weren't fighting or anything, just the two new best friends having a friendly competition. Picking the song on the juke box, Santana smirked at Rachel, and started singing. And the tune of Jukebox Hero came up.
[Santana:]
Standing in the rain
with her head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket
it was a sold out show.
Heard the roar of the crowd
She could picture the scene.
Put her ear to the wall
then like a distant scream.
She heard one guitar
just blew her away
Santana jumped up onto a table where two men were sitting, and sexily laid down on it, making them look at her in surprise, which only made Rachel roll her eyes.
Saw stars in her eyes
and the very next day.
[Rachel:]
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it
but she knew for sure
That one guitar
felt good in her hands.
Didn't take long to understand.
Just one guitar
slung way down low
She couldn't do it as sexy as Santana did because of her baby bump, but she did a sexy move next to a counter, whcih got howls from some men.
(Rachel and Santana)
Was a one-way ticket
only one-way to go.
So she started rockin' ain't never gonna stop
[Rachel and Santana:]
Gotta keep on rockin'
[Rachel:]
Someday she's gonna make it to the top.
[Rachel and Santana:]
And be a Juke Box Hero got stars in her eyes
When they started to sing together they smiled at each other and made this song a lot more fun.
[Rachel:]
She's a Juke Box Hero.
Yeah
[Santana:]
She took one guitar
[Rachel And Santana:]
Juke Box Hero got stars in her eyes
Juke Box Hero she'll come alive tonight.
(Rachel)
In a town without a name
in a heavy downpour
Thought she passed her own shadow
by the backstage door.
[Santana:]
Like a trip through the past
to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made her whole life change.
Now she needs to keep
[Rachel and Santana]
rockin' she just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
The whole of the diner was so engrossed in their performance, never have they every saw this much talent in the diner before.
[Santana:]

[Rachel And Santana:]
And be a Juke Box Hero got stars in her eyes

([Santana:]

When they finished the song, they hugged each other and everyone cheered, they laughed, and when they were done getting compliments from everyone a strange man walked up to the two girls.
"I hope you're auditioning for Rock Of Ages, you would make a great addition to the show." He said looking at both of them, obviously he was one of the people that worked on the musical. He looked down at Rachel's belly and said, "Don't worry that won't be a problem, as you know auditions are in November, and hopefully by then you'll be A-okay." He said referring to the baby being born and Rachel being in top shape again.
"You too uh-" he said looking at Santana's name badge. "Santana. I'm Jesse by the way. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys soon." He paid his bills, leaving tips to the two girls, and headed out, leaving them astonished.
"He seemed-" Rachel started but Santana interrupted. "Creepy as fuck. Even though I would maybe audition, MAYBE, I don't think I will be able to stand seeing him everyday. He looks weird. I don't want him stalking my sweet ass because he looks like one of those creeps you would find being an undercover serial killer on drugs that likes young sweet asses like ours."
Rachel shook her head at her friend while she was laughing hysterically. "I was going to say friendly but scary at the same time, but your defintion describes him perfectly."
The two friends continued the rest of their day without a hint of unhappiness. Rachel got a stinging headache every now and then, but she managed to keep it under control, she had sent a text to Noah telling him about what had happened, and he replied only a few seconds later.
From Noah: That's so typical of Satan. But I'm glad she said so because I wouldn't want him getting close to you...or her. I miss you too Rach, a lot. Xoxo Noah.
She didn't know why but she just loved the feeling she got when she received a text from him, was she really falling for him? No doubt about that.
XxX
"I got great news Puck!" Nick said rushing into his hotel room.
Puck looked at him with a curious look. "I see you're finally calling me Puck. That's awesome, so what's the news?" He said putting his guitar and pen down, he was still working on that song, and he knew it was going to be great.
"You've landed your first gig. Tomorrow night at the Dancing in the dark nightlclub. You can pick songs that's already been sung by other singers or write your own, or choose from the ones we have been working on for other singers, but would like to work on them with you." He said as he handed Puck sheets of music. "Lemme know as soon as possible." He said way too friendly as he hopped out of the room. Yep, definitely gay. Puck thought to himself.
He went through the sheet music and found the right song to sing. He was very nervous to be doing his first gig, but excited, he can't believe he was actually doing this. He was ecstatic.
Before he knew it, it was the time. He cleared the song with his new agent, and the producers, and band, and they were happy with this song. They practised it over and over until it was perfect, he was dedicating it to Rachel.
"Listen up guys, opening up for us its going to be Noah Puckerman, preferrably he likes being called Puck. He is very talented and we found him in New-York. So please give him a chance to see how truly amazing he is, lady and gentleman, Noah Puckerman!" His agent said into the make, he requested to do so.
When Puck walked out onto the stage, everyone cheered and whistled, happy to have new talent. "Unfortunately I didn't write this song myself, but, it's great, and I'm dedicating it to one special person in New - York, hit it!."
He was wearing black jeans, a white tank top with a black leather jacket, he looked extremely hot, and that's why woman were already all over him.
(Verse 1)

He thought of Rachel, he really, really wanted to be with her. He danced along with the back-up dancers, never feeling as good as this, except for being with Rachel of course.
(VERSE 2)

When he finished and let out a few breaths the crowd erupted into cheers making him smile, very hugely. When he went back behind the curtains, his agent and producer congratualated him.
"Here. You deserve this." Nick said.
When he looked down at his hands he saw a cash...a lot...he couldn't believe it, there was like about a thousand dollars there, for just one gig...wow, at this rate, he was ready to finalize his plans he had in store for Rachel...he couldn't wait...
