I'm not a huge fan of this chaper. But, enjoy regardless. Hey, at least we get some insight on what Finn is actually doing. Rachel is a little blinded toward Finn's lovelessness and Puck is becoming restless and annoying. Here's the beginning of two Rachel-less chapters. :P But, there's some Kurt insight and some Mike/Puck bromance which is awesome by the way!
They stood like that for a while, in each other's embrace. Puck's mind was reeling, he had always gotten a sense of fulfilment whenever he held Rachel in his arms. Whether it was a short hug or a simply wanting to hold her close to him. He looked down at Rachel as she stayed firmly in his embrace, her shoulders were arched in a relaxed comfortable way. He couldn't quite tell what her expression was, considering he could only see the back of her head. But, he inwardly hoped she was happy being there with him.
"Rachel… Why are you with him?" he mumbles, unable to keep the question from rolling off his tongue. Rachel blinked and looked up at him slightly, pressing her lips together. "What do you mean?" she said, softly. Her eyes full of confusion. "What's so God damn special Hudson? He treats you like crap… All the time. I just don't get how he keeps getting chances and I…" he began before his brain caught up with his words and he shook his head. Catching his tongue. Rachel looked forward for a moment, before turning around and un-tangling herself from his arms. A sense of loneliness coming over him. She quirked her brow and bit her lip. "And you… what Puck?" she said dryly, crossing her arms. Puck looked down at her and shook his head. "Forget it." He mutters. Rachel dampened her lips and frowned. "I love him, Noah… And, regardless of how he treats me. I can always look past it. He's my first and only love. The one person you will always accept me for me. Sometimes, Finn becomes confused about his feelings or how he should treat me. But, I always know he loves me. The fact he tries means everything to me. It always will." She explained, her words sounding unfamiliar to her. Puck set his jaw and shook his head. This was bullshit, we're they talking about the same dip shit Finn here? Obviously not.
She seemed to see this completely different guy. He looked down at her, his shoulders slumping. "I get it… You love him. But, next time he screws you over. Ask him why, instead of making up bullshit excuses for someone who doesn't deserve them or you." He mumbles, shoving his hands into his pockets. He looked down at her with a cold, vulnerable eyes. "Noah…" she began. Puck shook his head and turned on his heel and quickly left the bedroom shutting the door behind him. Rachel blinked and furrowed her brow sadly. Noah Puckerman was a very confusing man.
The moment Puck got back downstairs, he had already figured out his excuse for leaving early. He walked down the back porch steps and grabbed a beer for the road. Popping the cap off and taking a large soothing mouthful. Letting the liquid slide down his stomach. He glanced around in search of Mike to tell him he had to skip out. When he spotted Finn and Quinn standing in a secluded corner. Their bodies eerily close. He bit back the anger he was currently feeling as he looked at them. He took another large swig and licked the remainder off his lips. His eyes widened as Finn's lanky head dipped to meet Quinn's and kissed. Puck stared for a moment, his brow furrowing in slight confusion. Before, he finally transmitted what had just happened. Finn had just cheated on Rachel. God forbid it was just a kiss, but that still meant a lot. And, Puck knew it would mean a hell of a lot to Rachel.
He stared at them, before setting his jaw angrily and took a large mouthful of his beer and placed it down harshly on the table. Before, storming over to the corner Finn and Quinn were currently standing in. Cheating asshole. He shoved Finn back from Quinn. He was careful not to hit Quinn. As angry as he was, he was no girl basher. He grabbed Finn's collar and did the thing he'd wanted to do for a long time. He punched him square in the face, hearing the crack of his nose. His breathes were heavy and Finn cried out in pain; holding his hand to his nose. Quinn squealed and shoved Puck away. "What the hell are you doing? Are you ok?" she said, attaching herself to Finn's arm. Puck wanted to punch him again. And, this time really cause some damage. It only took everyone a few moments to notice the scene that had taken place and made their way over. Some tended to Finn's potentially broken nose. While others stood aside, confused by what had happened exactly.
"What happened?" a familiar voice said in outrage. It was Rachel, he hadn't saw her. But, he knew it was her. She pushed through the crowd, gasping as she saw Finn with blood still rushing from his nose. "Finn! What happened?" she said, her voice oozing with concern. Puck was disgusted by Finn as he retreated to Rachel. Quinn watching in sadness as he did so. "Puck punched him." She said flatly. And, everyone's eyes burned into Puck. But the only ones he saw were the ones belonging to a certain brunette. "Is this true?" she said softly, rubbing Finn's arm soothingly. "Yeah, but…" he began to explain. But, Rachel looked up at him in disbelief. "I can't believe you! You may have broken Finn's nose. Why must you ruin every perfect moment this group has with your ridiculous use of violence. You need to grow up, Puck." She said harshly as she tugged Finn through the group and toward the house disappearing into the back door continuing to sooth Finn.
Puck set his jaw, refusing to watch her walk away from him. Like, she always did. He felt a hand on his shoulder as a soothing display. He assumed it had been Mike or Santana. He looked up and was surprised to have seen Kurt being the one the arm belonged to. He looked at him and shook his head. Shrugging off his hand and leaving the backyard, slamming the fence door behind him. Getting into his truck and driving away. He was done with this bullshit.
Love it. Hate it. Review it.
