Chapter 20: A Decision
Rachel was broken, and everyone could tell: her coworkers, her boss and especially Noah. She had thrown herself into work, just like last time, and other than reciting her lines, Rachel wouldn't speak. She was overcome with a feeling of numbness and everyday felt so long without hearing Finn's voice.
Rachel would come home every night and go straight to her bedroom, avoiding all conversation with Noah. She hated herself for that since it wasn't his fault, it was hers, but she just wanted to be alone. Once she would get to her room, Rachel would take out her phone and call Finn, and every night she'd get the same answer. Voicemail. He wouldn't accept any of her calls, and she would spend the rest of the night crying.
Tonight was different. Instead of her being left alone for the night, Noah walked in and handed her the phone.
"Someone named Kurt Hummel is on the phone and he demands to speak to you," explained Puck.
Rachel simply nodded and accepted the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Rachel. You and I need to talk," declared Kurt.
"He told you, didn't he?"
"Nope, he didn't. He's been locked in his apartment for the past week, refusing to accept my calls, or anyone else's for that matter. I finally marched over and let myself in with my spare key and he was lying in bed. He was lying there -" said Kurt.
"Stop, I can't hear this," interrupted Rachel.
"Well you're going to. He was lying there with tears in his eyes, and wouldn't answer any of my questions. All he would say was Rachel," finished Kurt
"I'm so sorry, Kurt," was all she could say.
"What happened Rachel? I've never seen my brother so broken. He was just lying there, and usually he's the one to pretend anything has happened and continue with life but he's lying there," asked Kurt, with a choke.
"I ruined everything," whispered Rachel.
"Rachel, what happened?" repeated Kurt.
Rachel sat there with Noah at her side, holding her, as she recounted the story to Finn's brother. She explained the whole situation with Noah and then how Finn reacted when he found out.
After she finished explaining, there was silence.
"Why didn't you want to tell him?" finally muttered Kurt.
"I thought that he'd get upset because it's Noah. Finn knows about his feelings for me, I don't know how but he does, and I was afraid he'd make the wrong assumptions. Which he did," explained Rachel.
"Only because you lied to him. I know Finn and if you would have been honest with him, he'd accept it and move on. He hates liars, Rachel," retorted Kurt.
"I know he does! Just...I don't know why I was so stupid! I should have just told him!" exclaimed Rachel, exploding in tears.
The line was silent as Rachel continued to cry, while Noah tried to calm her down.
"Rachel, did you sleep with Puck?" asked Kurt, once the crying faded.
"No! I haven't, I promise! Sure, I thought about it, but he's my best friend. I could never ruin that friendship by sleeping with him," exclaimed Rachel, shocked that Kurt would even ask her that.
They haven't known each for that long but they had grown fond of each other after their meeting. Rachel was surprised that he'd think of her that way.
"Have you had those thoughts while you were Finn?" asked Kurt, calmly.
Rachel sat there and pondered his question. She looked over at Noah, who had a large frown on his face.
"Yes, I did. Especially once he moved in," confessed Rachel.
She thought back to all the nights that they had cuddled or gone out and how she would think about how it would feel to kiss him or have him inside her, filling her with pleasure.
"Finn was right. You have feelings for him, Rachel," declared Kurt.
Rachel thought about what Kurt was saying and then tears began to roll down her face once more.
"I am such a horrible person! I have been mentally cheating on him! He deserves so much better than me. Oh my goodness...how could I have been so stupid," exclaimed Rachel.
" Stop it Rachel. You didn't actually cheat on Finn, but I won't let you be with my brother unless you fully love him."
"I do love him though!"
"Then kick Noah out. Him leaving there is causing those feelings, and you need him out to get rid of them. Do that and prove to Finn you love him. I can tell you do, Rachel. Fix this," instructed Kurt.
"I can't Kurt. I can't. He needs me," stated Rachel, confused on what to do.
"If you truly love Finn, you need to be less selfish and think about him. Puck can't live there, Rachel. You need to decide: Puck or Finn," said Kurt, sternly.
"I..." began Rachel.
"You don't need to decide right this second. Just make it soon because I sure as hell won't let Finn wait forever. I think you're a great girl, Rachel and I love being your friend but he is my priority. Make your decision. Once you do, call me. Goodbye, Rachel,"
"Thank you, Kurt," muttered Rachel, but the line was already dead.
She took the phone and placed it on her drawer. Rachel then looked over at Noah, who's eyes had many different emotions flowing through them.
"Noah..."
Noah pulled her in closer.
"Shhhh...Babe, it's okay," soothed Puck.
He lifted up her chin, and leaned in until she could feel his breath on her lips.
"Noah, I can't."
"Let me help you make your decision," he stated simply and then crashed his lips onto hers.
At first Rachel didn't know how to react and just tried to push him off, but then something came over her and she began to reciprocate the kiss. Puck moaned at her action, and began to slowly push his tongue into her mouth until she opened it. Their tongues began to fight for dominance, causing the passion and heat to accelerate.
Rachel couldn't believe what she was doing but the touch felt so good. She reached for the hem of his shirt and tugged at it. Noah caught on and lifted it above his head, leaving himself shirt less. Rachel took in the view of her best friend's perfectly chiselled body, but lost her train of thought when Noah began to attack her neck. She felt his member hardening as he brushed up against her thigh, causing a loud moan to escape her throat.
"Baby, you can't do that. I won't be able to control myself," said Noah, pulling away for a second but then reattaching his lips to hers, immediately.
He began to lift her shirt above her head, which she helped him with, since it was starting to bug her. Noah then lowered his hands to the hem of her sweatpants and began to roll them down her hips. She lifted up her butt to help, began completely overpowered by passion by that point.
Noah then placed his hands on the hem of her panties and without permission, just ripped them off her body with a growl. His lips continued to attack hers, continuing the moans escaping her throat.
"Babe, can I try something?" asked Noah.
She simply nodded and all of a sudden, she felt him thrust his finger in between her folds. She cried out in pleasure, and began to whimper as he added a finger and started to pump them viciously into her.
"Baby, more! Please more!" screamed out Rachel in ecstasy.
Noah pulled his lips away from hers and began to place kisses down her body. He finally reached his target and lowered his mouth onto it.
Rachel's eyes rolled to the back of the head as Noah began to taste her, causing her to go insane as he sucked her most intimate parts.
"Finn! Keep going, Finny baby! That feels so good. Please don't stop, Finn. Don't stop!" she shrieked as she felt herself beginning to fall over the edge.
Noah then inserted a finger inside her once more as he continued to taste her. Rachel couldn't take it anymore and she exploded, letting herself get taken over by her orgasm.
"Finn!" she screamed out as she rode it out.
This time, she realized the name that she had been screaming and quickly pressed her thighs together and pushed herself away from Noah. She jumped off the bed, almost falling over, since she was still getting over what she had just experienced.
"Get out, Noah."
He looked completely shocked and just sat there with his jaw dropped. Rachel ran over to her dresser to put some underwear on and then repeated herself.
"Get out, Noah. I'm giving you an hour to pack and then I need you to leave. You've helped me make my decision," declared Rachel, almost growling.
"But...you...just..." stammered Puck.
"Yeah you gave me an orgasm, but I screamed out Finn's name, not yours. My heart and mind want Finn. So please, I'm begging you, get out."
Noah simply got up and didn't argue. He just walked out of her room and went into his to pack.
Rachel sat back down on her bed, disgusted with herself and her actions. She couldn't believe that she had let herself do that.
She sat there for an hour silently, thinking of ways to prove to Finn that he was the one for her. Rachel couldn't think of anything, especially now that she had cheated on him.
Then, she heard a quiet knock on her door. Noah opened it and she saw a suitcase in his other hand.
"I'm all packed up, Rach. I guess I'll get going," said Noah, turning around to head for the door.
Rachel got up and walked after him.
"Wait, Noah," exclaimed Rachel.
He turned around and stood there silently.
"I love you, Noah. As my best friend. You will always be my best friend and that is never changing. I will always be here for you but I just...can't have you live here. I'm in love with Finn. Please, just promise me you won't go off drinking and sleeping with random girls."
"I promise, Rach," said Noah, dropping his bags and walking over to pull her into a hug.
They stayed in this embrace, Rachel feeling tears begin to form, until Noah pulled away.
" By the way, sing him a song," muttered Noah.
"What?" asked Rachel, confused by his statement.
"Sing a song to Finn. You have an amazing voice. Use it to show him how much he means to you," explained Noah.
"Noah...that's perfect. Thank you so much. Call me when you get home," said Rachel.
"Good bye, Rach," whispered Noah, as if he was about to cry.
"Bye, Noah," answered Rachel.
With that, Noah walked out of her apartment, his belongings in hand, and she closed the door behind him.
She stood there, still processing everything that had happened. One thing stuck out to her. A song. Noah told her to sing a song. He always gave the best advice and she was going to use it.
The only issue was...which song?
What song will Rachel choose...and will it win Finn back?
Stay tuned and please keep reviewing!
