A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, faves and follows on the previous update!
I knew that chapter would get the kind of reaction that it did, and of course it's all part of my master plan for this story.
I would like to advise all those like they who asked in their review, about Quinn being with Blaine - is not going to happen. Quinn is merely a small player in this and not one who will be sticking around or ending up with Blaine.
I would like to advise also that this chapter doesn't exactly bode well for Puckleberry - but would like to assure you that just because this is happening, doesn't mean there won't be a happy ending down the track.

Anyway please remember the following when reading this chapter, whilst reviews are appreciated, if you can't say anything nice then please don't say anything. I wouldn't dream of leaving a mean review for someone, so ask that you please extend that same kindness.
So without further ado, here is the next chapter. And well you know what do to at the end; review, and if you haven't done so already please fave/follow this so you will see when the next chapter is up!
Love KJ xxoo

Chapter 21-

The next morning, Puck woke up in his bed and looked over at his alarm clock and saw that it was a little after eight o'clock in the morning.

He pulled the covers back over his head and tried to will away the headache he had, before he hopefully was able to talk to Rachel about last night.

The bathroom door opened and Quinn walked into the bedroom. "Morning" she said.

Puck surprised to hear a female voice in his room, pulled the comforter off his head and looked at her.

"Ummm, what?" he asked.

"I said morning. And have you seen my bra I can't seem to find it anywhere" said Quinn.

Puck looked at her. "Did we?" he asked.

"Yes" replied Quinn, with a nod, whilst she glanced around his bedroom, looking for her missing bra.

"Oh this isn't good" replied Puck, grabbing his boxers from the floor and pulling them on and then getting out of the bed.

He walked into the living area of his apartment and looked around, trying to remember the events of last night and figure out how he had ended up in bed with Quinn.

There were quite a few empty beer bottles on the table as well as a pizza box and a purple and black lace bra.

"Uhh Quinn" he said, picking it up and holding it.

Quinn came out of the bedroom and looked at him and laughed. "Oh thanks" she replied, taking the bra from him and putting it in the back pocket of her jeans.

Puck just looked at her.

"Clearly you don't remember last night then" said Quinn.

Puck shook his head.

"Okay, so I finished work and you were already well on your way to be slightly drunk after doing about half a dozen shots very quickly and then when we left the bar, you insisted on grabbing some beer and a pizza and coming back here" said Quinn.

"Ohh, this is bad. Really bad" said Puck, seeing his cell phone on the coffee table and grabbing it.

"You don't need to feel bad about it Puck. You and your girlfriend broke up, and you sought a little comfort in someone else" said Quinn.

"I don't want to be broken up from Rachel though" said Puck, seeing that he had a missed call from Rachel on his cell and that she had left a voice message.

He dialled the number for his voice message and listened to what Rachel had left.

"Hi Puck it's me. Umm, I don't know what exactly is happening and all that right now with us. But I definitely don't want it to be over. Will was only here, because he was being a friend. There is nothing between us, you have to know that. I love you and only you, and you are the only one I want to be with. I know it's really late now, but I will come and see you in the morning, around eight thirty before I head into a fitting for some new costumes at the theatre. I love you Noah, sweet dreams" said Rachel.

Puck looked at his watch and saw that it was in fact really close to the time that Rachel said she would be at his apartment.

"Quinn, you got to go" said Puck, looking at her.

"Go?" asked Quinn.

"Yeah, Rachel is going to be over here really soon, and I really want to make things work with her. So you have to go" said Puck.

Quinn nodded. "You still love her don't you".

Puck nodded. "Yeah, I do" he replied.

"Well I hope the two of you work it out" said Quinn, as she headed over the door.

Puck walked over as well and opened the door, and saw Rachel on the other side, and quickly pushed Quinn behind his now open apartment door.

"Rachel, hey" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him and laughed. "Oh hey".

"Yeah, and right on time" said Puck, with a laugh, tapping his watch.

"Well you know me always punctual" said Rachel.

Puck nodded and pulled Rachel into his apartment, and away from the door, but not letting her turn. He then gestured to Quinn to leave, who quietly slipped out, giving him a thumbs up as she walked out.

Puck looked at her as she did, not hearing what Rachel was saying.

"Noah, are you listening to me" said Rachel, realising that he wasn't paying attention.

Puck looked at Rachel. "Yeah, uh huh" he replied.

"So you completely agree that we have to trust one another more and also as well you agree that as much as I hated working on our anniversary, coming backstage with a picnic basket was kind of a crazy thing to do" said Rachel.

"Agree, one hundred percent" said Puck.

Rachel nodded. "Good, because there is nothing that we can't get through together".

"Nothing" replied Puck, with a nod and kissed Rachel.

Rachel smiled into the kiss and then broke away. "I really have to get to the theatre for this costume fitting for some new pieces since a few of them are wearing. But we can grab a coffee later"

"We can do that" said Puck, with a nod.

"Kurt's, around two o'clock" said Rachel.

"I will see you then" said Puck.

"Okay, I love you" said Rachel.

"Love you more" replied Puck.

Rachel smiled and kissed him again. "Bye" she said, and left the apartment.

Puck went running around to Blaine and Sam's apartment and knocked on the door loudly.

"Dude, hey" said Sam, as he opened the door.

Puck pushed past him into the apartment.

"Sure Puck, come on in" said Sam, as he closed the door.

"Something the matter?" asked Blaine, looking up from where he was sitting at the counter reading the paper.

"I really fucked up" said Puck.

"Fucked up? How?" asked Blaine.

"Last night" replied Puck.

"But you talked with Rachel, and sorted things out right" said Sam.

Puck shook his head. "No, I called her like you said too and Will was over at the apartment and I got really mad and told her goodbye. I went back into the main area of the bar to see that you two guys had left and went over to the bar and started doing shots and then I kind of took Quinn back to my place"

"Awesome, you scored with hot bar chick" said Sam, holding his hand up for a high five.

Puck looked at him in disbelief as did Blaine.

"I mean bad Puck" said Sam, putting his hand down.

"Please tell me you and Quinn just talked" said Blaine.

Puck looked at his best friend and shook his head.

"I honestly thought Rachel and I were over" said Puck.

"But you're not?" asked Sam.

"No, she called left me a message and said that we needed to talk and she came over this morning and we kind of made up" said Puck.

"And she doesn't know what happened with Quinn" said Blaine.

Puck shook his head. "But I got tell her right".

"Dude, no. Because if you tell her then she isn't going to forgive you" said Sam.

"Sam's right. Just don't tell her, ever" said Blaine.

Puck looked at his two friends.

"And you got to make sure you cover the trail as well, so Rachel doesn't find out" said Sam.

"The trail?" asked Puck.

"The trail of the girl you slept with to the girl you don't want finding out what happened. That trail" said Blaine.

"I'm pretty sure Quinn and Rachel don't know each other" said Puck.

"No, but Quinn has sometimes come into the coffee shop, so Rachel might find out" said Blaine.

Puck looked at him in horror. "I got to go and talk to Quinn, make sure she doesn't tell anyone".

Sam and Blaine nodded.

"You guys won't tell will you?" he asked, looking at his two friends.

"Lips are sealed" said Blaine.

"Have our word, we won't tell" said Sam, with a nod.

Puck nodded. "Okay guys, I got to go. Catch you later" he said, going over to the door.

"Yeah, see you man" said Blaine.

Puck opened the door and left and Sam and Blaine just looked at one another.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Puck got to the bar and ran inside, and saw that Quinn and the male bartender were standing behind it, wiping glasses and staking the racks from last night.

"Quinn" said Puck, going over to the bar.

"Umm, hi" said Quinn, looking at him.

"Yeah, hi. I've just got to ask, you haven't told anyone what happened between last us last night, have you?" asked Puck.

"No" replied Quinn.

"Oh thank god for that" said Puck, leaning against the counter.

Quinn looked at him "Well actually that's not completely true. I told Trent".

"Trent" said Puck.

Quinn nodded and pointed to the male bartender.

"Tell me you haven't gone and told anyone" said Puck, looking at him.

"Only my friend Matt, but I'm pretty sure he won't have told anyone" said Trent.

"Right, where can I find him?" asked Puck.

"Umm, he works the Subway on Broadway" said Trent.

"Okay thanks, bye" replied Puck and went running out of the bar, to go to the Subway that was located on Broadway.

Trent looked over at Quinn.

"Really need to stop sleeping with the bar patrons, Quinny. It's not good for business" said Trent.

Quinn just glared at him and the two of them, got back to work.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Puck got to the Subway on Broadway and went inside. He looked at those working behind the counter, and their name tags and saw that Matt was the cashier at the end.

"Matt" said Puck, going up to the register.

"Line is that end" said Matt.

"No, I don't want a sub. I just wanted to know if you told anyone what your friend Trent told you, about a guy sleeping with Quinn" said Puck.

"What's it to you?" asked Matt.

"Because I'm that guy and I don't need it getting back to my girlfriend that I slept with another woman" replied Puck.

"Nice" said Matt, with a smile.

Puck looked at him. "No it's not nice. Did you tell anyone?" he asked.

"Well yeah, but only my sister Bree" said Matt.

"Bree, oh man. Where can I find her?" asked Puck, with sigh.

"Why?" asked Matt.

"Because I don't need my girlfriend to find this out" said Puck.

"She works as a kindergarten teacher, but obviously she's not there today as it's Saturday" said Matt.

"Do you know where she is then by any chance?" asked Puck.

"Yeah, she should be home" said Matt, grabbing a napkin and pen and writing his sister's address on it.

"Thanks, I appreciate it" said Puck, taking the napkin.

"Sure good luck, I hope your girlfriend doesn't find out" said Matt.

Puck nodded and left the Subway, this time heading to the address that Matt had given him for Bree.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Puck got around to Bree's apartment block, and went up to the number that he had written down and knocked on the door.

A dark skin girl came and opened the door and looked at him. Puck immediately recognized her as a friend of Cynthia's, and had a feeling that this was not going to end well at all now.

"Puck, right" she said, when she saw him.

"Yeah hi Bree" said Puck.

"What can I do for you?" asked Bree.

"You heard from your brother today and he told you something?" said Puck.

I hear a lot of things from Matt, so you're going to have to be more specific" said Bree.

"He told you that some guy slept with Quinn who works at the bar with his friend Trent" said Puck.

"Yeah, Quinn kind of has a habit of doing that. I wouldn't be worried about it" said Bree.

"No, I am though. The guy was me and I have a girlfriend" said Puck.

"Rachel right, that short brunette. The one in Funny Girl" said Bree.

"Yes. So please tell me you haven't told Cynthia about this, because I know the two of you are friends. And if you've told her it will get back to Britts and then she will definitely be telling Rach about it" said Puck.

"No, I haven't told Cyns. And I can promise you I won't. Like I said you're not the first guy to fall under the lure of Quinn" said Bree.

"Thank you, thank you. I can't thank you enough for not saying anything" said Puck.

"Well I didn't say I didn't say anything to anyone" said Bree.

Puck looked at her. "Did you tell someone?".

Bree nodded. "Yeah my roommate" she replied.

"And that is?" asked Puck.

"Kurt" replied Bree.

"Coffee shop, Kurt?" asked Puck, looking at Bree in complete disbelief.

"Sorry" she replied.

"Shit" said Puck, and went to leave.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" said Bree, but Puck was already halfway down the stairs and heading in the direction of the coffee shop in the hopes of getting to Kurt, before he said something to Rachel about his one night stand.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Rachel got to the coffee shop to meet Puck and walked inside.

"Hey Kurt, can I grab the usual?" she asked as she went over to the counter.

"Oh hey Rach" he replied, with a sad smile at her.

"Yeah is something the matter?" asked Rachel.

"No, but are you okay?" asked Kurt.

"I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" asked Rachel.

"Because you and Puck broke up" said Kurt.

Rachel shook her head. "It was just a misunderstanding, but we're fine now. He's meeting me here soon actually" she replied.

"Really, so you're completely okay with the fact that he slept with another woman last night" said Kurt.

Rachel looked at him in complete and utter horror. "What?" she asked.

"I'm guessing from the look on your face, right now that you probably didn't know that" said Kurt.

"No, I didn't" replied Rachel.

"Oh crap" said Kurt.

Rachel took a deep breath trying not to cry in that moment.

"How do you know that he slept with another woman?" asked Rachel.

"Just through gossip, but I could be wrong. It could be another Puck, in fact I'm sure it's another Puck. Because he wouldn't do anything like that, especially not to you" said Kurt.

Rachel just nodded her head in reply and walked over to the chair that was near the window.

"Did you still want that coffee?" asked Kurt, but he was only met with a shake of the head from Rachel.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Puck got to the coffee shop and went inside, rushing over to the counter.

"Kurt, please tell me you haven't said anything to Rachel about what happened with Quinn and I last night?" asked Puck, as he came to a stop.

"I'm sorry" said Kurt.

Puck looked at him as in horror as Kurt's eyes diverted quickly to the window.

Puck turned and looked and saw Rachel sitting in one of the chairs just glaring at him.

"Rach" said Puck.

Rachel stood up and walked out of the coffee shop.

"Wait Rach, please" said Puck running out after her.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

Mikki and Brittany walked up the stairs to that of Mikki's apartment.

"I think it's safe to say I am broke" said Brittany, as Mikki got the keys out of her handbag and unlocked the apartment door.

"Yeah, but all stuff was essential right" said Mikki, with a laugh as she opened the door and the two of them walked inside.

"Oh definitely" replied Brittany with a laugh.

The both headed in the direction of Mikki's room, still laden with their shopping bags.

"And now I want to see this photo thing of yours" said Brittany, as Mikki put her bags down on the bed and Brittany placed hers near the side of the bedroom wall.

"Yeah, so this is it" said Mikki, going over to where she had placed the canvas photo collage that she had gotten made with photographs that she had recently taken in and around New York.

"That is so amazing" said Brittany, looking at the multiple photos on it.

"Really, you think so?" asked Mikki.

"Yeah, you actually have a real gift for that" said Brittany.

"Thanks" replied Mikki, with a small smile.

"So that's why you got the hooks from Walmart, to put it up above your bed" said Brittany.

"Yeah, it just makes me smile, looking at it and I think it would look really good up there" said Mikki.

Brittany nodded. "Well if you're looking for my help with that, then forget it. I am so not good with a hammer and your picture will probably end up extremely lopsided".

Mikki laughed. "I'll go and see if the guys are home and can maybe help".

"Sure" replied Brittany, with a laugh also.

Mikki walked out of her bedroom and headed out of her apartment and went across the hallway and knocked on the door of the guy's apartment.

"It's open" came Sam's voice from inside.

Mikki opened the door and walked inside, and saw Blaine and Sam were at their television, partaking in a video game.

"Hey guys" she said, going over to them.

"Oh hey, wanna join?" asked Blaine, quickly looking at her.

"Umm maybe later. I was kind of hoping that I could get the two of you to help me with something in my apartment?" asked Mikki.

"Yeah, sure what you need?" asked Sam, not taking his eyes away from the television.

"I've gotten this canvas print done of some photos that I took and need help hanging it" replied Mikki.

"Sure thing" replied Blaine, going to the menu of the game and saving the game's progress.

"So how was your work thing last night?" asked Sam, as he stood up and the three of them headed out of the apartment and across to the other one.

"Yeah it was okay, a lot of kissing arse of some of the big companies in the hopes that they continue to have their accounts with us" replied Mikki as the three of them went into Mikki's room.

Brittany had decided to change into one of the outfits that she had purchased when out shopping and was only wearing her underwear.

"Whoa naked girl alert" said Sam, with a laugh.

"Please I have been more naked then this in public" said Brittany, with a smile as she pulled on one of the dresses that she had gotten from Forever 21.

"Do we even want to ask what you mean by that?" asked Blaine.

"No" replied Brittany, with a laugh and shaking her head. "Just wanted to see what the dress looked like in normal lighting. The dressing rooms lighting is always so unflattering" said Brittany as she turned looking at the dress on her, in Mikki's mirror that was in her room.

"Well it looks good" said Sam.

"Thank you" replied Brittany.

"Yeah, well where is this painting so we can go back to killing zombies" said Blaine.

"Actually photograph canvas, and it's here" said Mikki, grabbing it from near her bed and showing the guys.

"Wow that things huge, can see why you wanted help" said Sam.

"Uh huh" replied Mikki.

"Did you take these though, because they are pretty awesome. Especially that one" said Blaine, pointing to a photo that Mikki had taken in black and white of a tree and leaves, and then coloured with the computer.

"I took them all" she replied, with a nod.

"They're incredible. You have a gift for this, really" said Blaine.

"Yeah, wish you could do photos for me. Some of the photographers I have gone to for photos and that for portfolio aren't nearly anywhere near as good as you" said Sam.

I'd happily take photos for you Sam, you just got to ask" said Mikki.

"Really? You'd do that?" asked Sam.

Mikki nodded. "Sure, the only thing I don't do though, is nudes".

"No that's fine, whatever. But if you can do some of that awesome stuff like in that photo with me, then yeah that be great" replied Sam, pointing to the tree picture.

"Deal" said Mikki, with a smile.

"So where did you want this?" asked Blaine.

"I was thinking, wall behind my bed" said Mikki.

"Okay" said Blaine, and went to get up on Mikki's bed.

"Excuse me shoes. I don't want your dirty shoes all over my bed" said Mikki.

Blaine looked at her and sighed and kicked off his shoes and then got up on the bed, and started tapping the wall to see where the studs lay.

"So you have hooks, I'm guessing" said Blaine.

"Yeah, went and got some today at Walmart" replied Mikki.

Blaine got off the bed and looked at the picture. "Well it hasn't got particular hanging spots, so yeah we can put this up on the wall with hooks on the studs".

"Okay you are speaking a foreign language to me at the moment" said Mikki.

"I hear you there. Don't know anything about this stuff" said Brittany.

"Well it's a good thing you got us across the hall then. Or in Britt's case a phone call away" said Sam, with a laugh.

"Yeah, you have a hammer right, because without one this isn't going up" said Blaine.

Mikki went over to her one of her bedside tables and to the bottom drawer and pulled out a pink case and opened it, taking out a small size pink hammer.

"Will this do?" she asked, and Sam laughed.

Mikki glared at him. "What?"

"Nothing it's just that the hammer and all the other tools in that thing have pink on them" said Sam.

"Gag gift from Puck when he and Santana moved out. Comes in handy sometimes" said Mikki.

"And how many times have you used it?" asked Blaine.

"This would be the first" replied Mikki, with a smile.

"Yeah, thought so" replied Blaine, with a laugh and took the hammer from her.

"Come on, Rachel, come on! Talk to me! Please!" said Puck as they both got into the apartment.

Sam quietly went over to Mikki's bedroom door and closed it, and the other three looked at him.

"I can't talk to you. I can't even look at you right now!" said Rachel, as she threw her handbag down on the couch.

"What's going on" said Mikki, in her bedroom.

"Nothing, nothing" replied Blaine, shaking his head and Sam nodded his head at the same moment in agreement.

"What, what are they talking about then?" asked Brittany, as she and Mikki went over to the bedroom door to listen.

"Rachel" said Puck, again in the living room.

"Just get away from me!" replied Rachel.

"No, it was a mistake! I made a mistake! Okay?" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him in disbelief. "A mistake?! What were you trying to put it in? Her purse?!"

"Whe-where did he put it?! And what did he put where?" asked Brittany in Mikki's bedroom, looking at her three friends.

"Noah, you had sex with another woman!" said Rachel, as the others in Mikki's room continued to listen, the latter statement making Mikki and Brittany gasp in
horror.

"Oh my god" said Mikki.

Oh, I knew something had to be wrong, because Lord Tubbington, didn't want any of his morning cheese bits this morning" said Brittany.

"Yeah, well, I guess they had a fight, and he got drunk..." said Blaine.

"Oh!" said Mikki, in horror looking at the two guys and hitting them in the head. "You guys knew about this and you didn't tell us?!"

"He has sex, and we get hit in our heads" said Sam.

Out in the living room, Rachel went over to the apartment door and opened it. "You know what, I want you to leave! Get outta here!" she said.

"No!" replied Puck.

"Just get out! Now!" said Rachel, pointing out the door.

"No! No! I wanna stay. I wanna talk about this" replied Puck.

Rachel closed the door and looked at him. "Okay! All right! How was she?".

"What?" asked Puck, looking at her.

"Was she good?" asked Rachel.

"Don't answer that" said Sam, in Mikki's room as the four of them listened at the bedroom door.

"Come on Noah! You said you wanted to talk about it, let's talk about it! How was she?" asked Rachel.

"She was..." started Puck, not sure what he really should be saying in this moment.

"Awful! Horrible!" said Sam, in Mikki's room.

"She was not good. Not good" added Blaine.

"She was nothing compared to you" said Sam, and Blaine looked at him with a nod of agreement..

"She, she was different" replied Puck, in the living room.

"Ewwwww!" said Sam, in the bedroom

"Uh-oh" said Blaine.

"Good different?" asked Rachel, as she looked at Puck.

"Nobody likes change" replied Puck.

Rachel picked up the tv guide that was on the sofa and started hitting him with.

"Should we do something?" asked Brittany, in Mikki's room.

"Yeah, never cheat on Rachel" replied Blaine.

"I'm sorry, okay, I'm sorry. I was disgusted with myself, and this morning I was so, I was so upset and then I got your message and I was so happy, and all Iwanted was to get her out of my apartment as fast as possible" said Puck, in the living room.

"Whoa! Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. What time did your little friend leave?" asked Rachel.

Puck however is unable to look at Rachel, to give her an answer.

"Oh my God. She was there? She was still there? She was in there, when I was in there?!".

Puck hands Rachel back the tv guide and she starts hitting him with it again.

"Listen. The important thing was that she meant, she meant nothing to me!" said Puck.

"And yet she was worth jeopardising our relationship!" said Rachel, as she threw the paper at him. However it missed and hit Mikki's door instead, making them all jump back from the sound of it.

"Look, I didn't think there was a relationship to jeopardise. I thought we were broken up" said Puck.

"We were on a break!" said Rachel.

"That, for all I knew would, could last forever. That to me is a break-up" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him. "You think you're going to get out of this on a technicality?".

"Look, I'm not trying to get out of anything, okay. I thought our relationship was dead!" replied Puck.

"Well, you sure had a hell of a time at the wake!" said Rachel.

"You know what, I don't think we should listen to this anymore" said Sam, and went to open the door.

"What, what are you doing? You can't go out there" said Mikki, stopping him from doing so though.

"Why not?!" asked Sam.

"Because they'll know we've been listening" replied Mikki, looking at him.

"God! And to have to hear about it from Kurt!" said Rachel, back out in the living room.

"Like I wanted him to tell you, I ran all over the place trying to make sure that didn't happen!" said Puck.

"Oh, that is so sweet. I think I'm falling in love with you all over again" replied Rachel, in a condescending tone.

"You know what, I think we can go out there. I mean they have more important things to worry about" said Blaine, in Mikki's room.

"Yeah, we'll be fine" added Sam with a nod.

"Look Rachel, I wanted to tell you, I thought I should, I did, and then Blaine and Sam convinced me not to" said Puck.

"We're never leaving, ever" said Sam, going and sitting on the bed as Mikki and Brittany glared at him and Blaine just shrugged his shoulders at the two girls.

#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#

A short while later, Puck and Rachel were still out in the living room. Rachel was sitting on the sofa and Puck was sitting at the kitchen table.

"Don't you realise none of this would've ever happened if I didn't think at that same moment you weren't having sex with Will?" said Puck, looking over to where Rachel was.

"All right. Let's say I had slept with Will. Would you have been able to forgive me?" asked Rachel, looking over at Puck.

"Yes I would" replied Puck, with a nod.

"You'd be okay if you knew that Will had kissed me, and been naked with me, and made love to me?" said Rachel, standing up and facing him.

"Yes" replied Puck, although this time somewhat less convincingly.

"If you knew that our hot, sweaty, writhing bodies were..." started Rachel.

"Okay, okay, yeah, I would have been devastated but, I would still want to be with you. Because it's, I mean it's you" said Puck.

Rachel looked at him.

"What? Come on Rach, tell me what you're thinking?" said Puck.

"I'm thinking, I'm gonna order a pizza" said Rachel, and walked over to where the phone was on the kitchen counter.

"Hey, can I, can I get in on that? Because I'm kinda hungry myself" said Puck.

Fine" replied Rachel as she connected a call to the pizza place. "Hi! Yes, I'd like to order a large vegetarian pizza".

"No mushrooms" said Puck.

"With ah, extra mushrooms" said Rachel, with a small smile.

"That's okay, I'll just pick 'em off" said Puck.

"Yeah, and could you please chop some up and just put it right there in the sauce?" said Rachel, with a now larger smile and Puck glared at her.

"Wasn't that hungry anyway" said Puck, as Rachel ended the call to the pizza place and then went back over to the sofa to wait for it's delivery.

"Man, now I want pizza" said Sam, in Mikki's bedroom as they heard the call that Rachel made for the order.

"Ohh, I have pretzel sticks in my bag from earlier, we can have them" said Brittany, going over to one of her shopping bags.

"Guess they'll do" replied Sam, as Brittany came back over to Mikki's bed with the pretzel sticks and also some raisnets for the four of them to eat, whilst they waited out the remainder of Rachel an Puck's fight.

A little while later, Rachel and Puck were sitting at the kitchen table and one slice of pizza was remaining in the box.

"You can have the last piece, if you want" said Puck, pushing the box closer to Rachel.

"Well, I should think so. You slept with someone" said Rachel.

The other four in Mikki's room had finished off the raisinets and pretzels and were now just sitting again.

"They're gonna get through this, aren't they?" said Mikki.

"Yeah of course, it's Puck and Rachel, they've got too" said Blaine.

"What if they don't?" asked Mikki.

They all just looked at each other as Mikki, stifled a yawn and glanced at her alarm clock.

"Hey, it's almost midnight. They don't know that I've come home yet. You notice how neither one of them are wondering where I am" she said.

"Yeah, people can be so self-involved" said Brittany.

"You know what, I'm not the one that wanted that break, okay. You're the one that bailed on us. You're the one that, that ran when things got just a little rough!" said Puck, back in the living room.

"That's..." started Rachel, as she sat on the sofa but didn't finish what she was saying.

"That's what?!" asked Puck.

"That is neither here nor there" she replied.

"Okay, well here we are, Rach. What do you want to do? How do you want to handle it? Huh? Do you wanna fight for us? Or, do you wanna bail?" said Puck, sitting down next to her and looking at her.

Rachel just looked at him, not saying anything.

"Look, I did a terrible, stupid, stupid thing. Okay? And I'm sorry, I wish I could take it back, but I can't" said Puck, almost on the verge of tears.

In Mikki's bedroom, the four of them were now again listening at the door, since it had gone a lot quieter; and Mikki and Brittany were almost in tears themselves, listening to their friends talk in the living room.

"I just can't see us throwing away something we know is so damn good. Rachel, I love you so much" said Puck out in the living room.

He kissed her on her shoulder, then her neck, then the side of her face, before moving to kiss her on the lips.

"No Noah!" said Rachel standing up and moving away from him. "Don't! You can't just kiss me and think you're gonna make it all go away, okay? It doesn't work that way. It doesn't just make it better"

"Okay, okay, okay" replied Puck.

"I think you should go" said Rachel, quietly.

"What?" asked Puck.

"I really think you need to go now" said Rachel.

Puck walked over to her "Okay, okay. This morning you said there was nothing that we couldn't work past together...".

"Yeah, what the hell did I know!" replied Rachel.

"Look, look, there's got to be a way we can work past this" said Puck, taking hold of one of her arms. "I just can't imagine, I can't imagine my life without you"
Rachel looked at him as she started to cry, and noticed that Puck was also as well, crying.

"Without, without these arms, and your face, and this heart. Your good heart Rach, and, and..." said Puck as he dropped to his knees and hugged Rachel around the waist.

"No. I can't, you're a totally different person to me now. I used to think of you as somebody that would never, ever hurt me, ever. Especially after everything that happened with Jesse. And now I just can't stop picturing you with her, I can't" said Rachel, as Puck stood up and backed away from her.

"It doesn't matter what you say, or what you do, Noah. It's just changed, everything. Forever" said Rachel, looking at him.

"Yeah, but this can't be it, I mean" said Puck as he very obviously now was crying.

"Then how come it is?" asked Rachel.

Puck looks at her and just nods his head and gathers up his coat off the sofa, before silently leaving the apartment.

Rachel looks at him as he closed the door and left the apartment, and then sat down on the sofa and just continued to cry. Whilst the other four hidden away in Mikki's bedroom, also shed a tear for their now broken up friends.

A little while later, when there is no more sound of crying coming from the living room.

Mikki walked over to her bedroom door and quietly opens it and sees Rachel asleep on the sofa.

She turns to the others and nods, that it is now okay to come out of the bedroom, and the four of them all walk out quietly to the living room.

"See you later" said Blaine, quietly, as he went over to apartment door.

"Yeah" replied Mikki, with a nod.

Sam and Brittany waved and the three of them exited the apartment.

Mikki grabbed the throw rug that was on the back of the sofa and placed that over Rachel, before she headed back to her own room to get some sleep.

End Note:
I know, I know, you all want to kill me and think that this is possibly the worst thing that I could have done.
(Sami for the record is laughing hysterically at the moment and telling me that she is 'in to it'! - maybe because she knows the full outcome of the entire story)

And I hope you enjoyed the little cameos from some other Glee characters - Trent, Matt and Bree, and how they played into this little story!
If you have ever watched the show FRIENDS though, where this same storyline took place; and quite a lot of the dialogue in the chapter was directly from the episode in fact (so therefore I do not own some of it at all),then you also do maybe know what is going to be happening in future chapters. Although that having been said, I am not following everything that happened in the ten years that the show was on.

I do have it all planned out and know exactly where it will be going - and Rachel and Puck are my Rachel and Ross in this. So maybe that will give you a little hope in keeping with this story!
I hope you all continue to keep reading this - now that it's obvious that Puckleberry (for the moment) is off, because there is still a lot more wonderful story lines to come!
I am now going to hide away and maybe perve on some cute vampires! Until next time,

Love KJ and Sami xoxoxo
