Chap 3 ~ Running From You
A week had passed by and each pair were progressing along with their songs quickly but were all thankful they still had a week left to perfect their songs, music and dance moves.
But the Gleeks were umming and ahring about picking up a little project of a different kind. Over the past week since Rachel and Puck had come back to school the Glee members had noticed that the pair were a lot more touchy feely than they ever were before. Sure it was normal for friends to hug and stuff but to be seen holding hands and doing things that only couples did started to confuse the members of Glee.
They had asked a few times if they were together but they had both stated that they were simply good friends… but at the same time they all read between the lines and realised that something had changed in their relationship after the cafeteria moment.
It was like they needed each other more than ever before. Everyone noticed that neither Rachel or Puck pinned over Finn and Quinn anymore even though it was obvious Puck wouldn't seeing as his daughter was now gone for ever but when it came apparent that Rachel no longer held feelings for the quarterback and more than likely now held feelings for the wide receiver more than a few eyebrows were raised.
Most of the student body thought that Rachel Berry would always be in love with Finn Hudson but obvious that was no longer the case for there wasn't a moment that she wasn't seen with Noah Puckerman or her phone in her hands and a smile on her lips as she sent txt after txt to no doubt Noah Puckerman.
They understood each other…
They were complete opposites…
They fit together like puzzle pieces…
But most importantly…
They no longer shared a common pain…
Moving on was always one of the hardest things to do but it seemed like they had both accomplished that with the simple help of the others presence. It didn't take long for everyone to get used to their daily routine. Puck would drive Rachel to school and walk her to her locker waiting for her to get her books before they walked to his locker, him surprisingly having decided most probably with the help of Rachel to start taking his school work seriously. They would then walk to Rachel's first class before he went to his. During class they would send each other at least ten or more txt messages, after class Rachel would wait near the classroom door for a few minutes before Puck showed up and walked her to her next class not caring that he most probably would be late for his next lesson he still had a slight reputation to keep up after all. At lunch they would sit together sometimes with the rest of Glee but only with Finn and Quinn weren't there otherwise they would take their lunch outside and eat. After school if they didn't have Glee practise or if he didn't have football practise he would drive them back to her place where they would stay and finish their homework and then work on their song. However if he had football practise Rachel would wait from him in the bleachers watching his practise until he was done and then he would drop her home not staying instead going home and having a shower before collapsing on his bed.
They were more than friends…
But they weren't in a relationship…
They weren't friends with privileges…
But they acted like a couple…
For the time being they had silently agreed that their relationship was complicated but they would leave it at that for the time being not wanting to rush into something and instead just enjoy what they had at the moment. Because at this moment in time that was good enough.
"Rachel" She heard Kurt call from somewhere behind her
Turning around she spotted Kurt and Mercedes walking towards. Ever since this whole thing had gone down she had become much better friends with everyone in Glee and they had all excepted her completely now.
"Hey guys" Rachel said happily as she hoisted her black book bag onto her shoulder higher that Noah had brought her saying her wheelie bag was a bit out dated. "What's up?"
They both shared a look before turning back to her.
"Umm darling I'm not sure how to tell you this but…" Kurt started but trailed off looking at Mercedes for help
"Have you checked your phone recently?" Mercedes asked in a soft voice making Rachel raise a eyebrow
"Umm no… why?" Rachel asked completely confused
"Well maybe you should" Kurt said
Rachel gave him a look before she reached into her book bag and dug around the bottom, finally pulling out her blackberry phone and realising that she had a message.
Clicking the open button she immediately realised that it was a link to none other than Jacob Israel's blog. Reluctantly clicking the link knowing that nothing good could come from this if this was what Kurt and Mercedes were trying to tell her about.
When the page popped up she immediately felt her eyes widen and her mouth drop not bothering to fix either one of them for all she could so was stare at the scream in shock.
The newest post on the blog was called 'Is It Cheating If You Don't Go Out In The Fist Place?' underneath those words was a large picture of something she defiantly wouldn't have believed if she hadn't been seeing it with her own eyes. It was as clear as day who the two people in the picture were and it pained her even more to admit it.
Noah and… Santana
In a very compromising position. They were both fully clothed surprisingly and Noah's back was facing towards her but she still knew it was him because of his defiant Mohawk. He was kissing Santana's neck as her eyes were closed most probably in pleasure.
Pain surged through her body as she continued to read the article.
'Everyone knows that Noah Puckerman better known as Puck has a un-official but very obvious relationship with none other than Rachel Berry. So my question two you my faithful readers is this, 'Is It Cheating If You Don't Go Out In The Fist Place?'. If you say yes then what I want to know is this, why is Mr Puckerman making out with another girl when he has the beautiful Rachel Berry on his arm even thought they are not officially dating.
Stay tuned for more updates soon'
She didn't even realise that tears were streaming down her face as she closed the page and looked back up at her two friends who were looking at her with concern.
"It was bound to happen sooner or later right?" Rachel gave a weak sad little smile as more tears fell "I never really did stand a chance"
"Oh Rach" Kurt said reaching out for her but she just shock her head and took a step back.
"I appreciate you both informing me of this unfortunate turn of events… but I must be going" Rachel said before she turned and started to walk down the corridor every eye on her as silence fell upon the student body and for the first time no one made any snide or rude remarks to her, no one teased or laughed at her, instead everyone just sadly looked on feeling sorry for the girl who had just had her heart broken.
And this time she wasn't running to her life line… this time she was running away from it.
