Chapter thirteen: Stop your tears baby girl.
Rachel was fast asleep in bed when her father knocked on the door. He slowly came in sitting at the end of her bed.
"Daddy! I thought you weren't home until tomorrow?" Rachel whispered throwing her arms around him in a tight hug. She had really really missed her father. Although she'd been busy with
Glee and Noah her fathers absents had started to take it's tole.
"Pumpkin?" He said resting his hand on her lower leg.
"Yes daddy?" Rachel replied, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and sitting up straighter.
"I'm going away for a little while," He stated.
"Y-you can't!" Rachel shrieked.
"You're 15 Rachel. You can take care of yourself for a little while. And I'll leave you my card,"
Hiram said.
"Money doesn't buy me! I can't believe you! Ever since dad left you're never around! You promised me you wouldn't leave me again! You Promised!" Rachel said, in tears now.
"Stop it Pumpkin. I know I promised, but I have to work. You'll be fine. And I'll be back in a few weeks."
"Last time you left for a few weeks you were gone for 2 months!" Rachel wailed. She knew she was acting like a brat but she didn't care. It was like neither of her parents loved her.
"Rachel enough!" Hiram shouted, "I'll leave you my card. I'll be gone by noon." He stood up to leave.
"I hate being alone," Rachel whispered. He father ignored her statement and went to pack his stuff.
Puck woke up by his phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"Noah," Rachel broke down into sobs.
"Baby?"
"M-my daddy's leaving again. He says for a couple of weeks but...Noah I hate being alone," She sobbed out.
"Fuck sake, whys he always leavin' you for? He calls himself a fucking father!" Puck growled angrily.
"I-please come over? He's just left,"
"M'on my way baby. But I can't promise not to fuck the dudes face up! I don't get it, you're only 15 and you fuckin' tiny! How can he just leave you?"
When Puck got to Rachel's he went straight in and up to her room, all his anger melted when he saw her delicate figure circled in a ball crying on her bed. He took her into his arms immediately.
Stroking her hair and rubbing her back.
"It's gonna be okay baby," He muttered into her hair.
"What am I suppose to do now?" She hiccuped.
"What about a party?" He asked.
"A party?"
"Well you've got the house to yourself and he fuckin' left you! Get back at him!" Puck said squeezing her side.
She looked at him with her weepy, big brown doe eyes. Both her hands on his shoulders and a sad expression on her face.
"Okay, but only for the gleeks," Rachel reasoned.
"Yeah, it'll be fun. Now stop your tears baby girl."
"You're right," Her face broke into a little smile, "You know Noah, I don't know why I'm so upset. I don't need him. I'm just being silly." She wiped away her tears.
"Hey, hey. It's me," He kissed the corner of her mouth, "Listen, every Princess needs her daddy and it's okay." He whispered. Rachel caught his lips in a soft kiss.
"You know you're actually really sweet," Rachel giggled, turning so she was fully straddling him and looped her arms tightly around his neck.
"Badass Baby, the word is badass." Puck said trailing kisses up her neck.
