The night after, Puck arrived at Rachel's house with his guitar in hand. He knocked on the door, hoping that Rachel would answer, not one of her dads. His head swum at the idea of having two dads, when he didn't even had one. Some people had all the luck, he thought bitterly.

He was unlucky, once again. One of Rachel's dads opened the door.

"Hello sir." Noah said politely, holding his hand out for Mr Berry to shake.

"Hey there son" Mr Berry greeted him. "Rachel's just upstairs in her room, go on up"

Noah nodded his thanks and headed up the stairs to Rachel's room. He mentally prepared himself for the blinding yellow he knew that covered her walls, made even brighter with the spotlights she had in there. As he entered, wincing slightly at the decoration that made her clothes look stylish, she smiled widely at him.

"Evening Noah" Rachel greeted him.

"Evening" He replied with a slight smirk.

"So Noah" Rachel started "What song do you think we should do. I was thinking maybe we could mix our two musical styles and-"

"Actually Berry, I was thinking I could play something on my guitar" Noah interrupted. "So it'll have to have strong chords."

"Good idea Noah" Rachel smiled at him, slightly annoyed that she hadn't thought of it. "What would you like to sing?"

"Dunno. Thought it might just come to us" Noah reached out to get his guitar, before noticing a problem. "Damn, one of my string is broken." He told her "I can't play this 'till it's fixed. I'll take it to the music store tomorrow."

"Oh dear. On the plus side, you've just given me an idea for our song." Rachel grinned at him,

"Awesome. As we can't practice, d'you wanna go out somewhere? I know some places that do nice fruit smoothies" Noah smiled at her "As you're a vegan and all"

"That sounds nice Noah" Rachel replied

The next day at school, just after school ended, Rachel heard Finn calling her name. She turned round to look at him.

"Good afternoon Finn" She said cheerfully. She was still thinking of the fun night she'd had with Noah last night, as well as the bonus of working out a song that would be better than the ones the other members of Glee could come up with.

"Is it Rachel? Is it really?" Finn responded, looking at her with a hurt expression.

"What have I done Finn?" Rachel asked him, confused to why Finn was acting like he was.

"Well, last night, I drove over to your house. I was going to surprise my girlfriend with a visit. Only, when I got there, I saw you coming out of your house on Noah Puckerman's arm. Then, I saw you drive off to the smoothie bar, where you spent all night chatting to him." Finn finished, breathing heavily.

"Finn…"Rachel was shocked "Noah and I were practising for our glee club assignment"

"I didn't see much singing going on Rachel. So, I decided. It's over between us. We're not working out. We don't have any goal that we want to reach together anymore, and obviously you like Puck's company a lot more than mine. So, it's over. I hope we can be friends, but we never seem to work out as any more than that. Sorry Rachel" Finn turned and walked away.

Rachel stood in the corridor, unable to move. He'd done it again. He'd dumped her again, he'd left her hurt her again. Well, Rachel thought bitterly. That's the last time I'm going to let you do that Finn Hudson. But still, she stood there, shaking. Then she heard a voice behind her. She turned quickly, hoping it was Finn but knowing that it wasn't.

"Hey Rachel, what's u-" Puck started to say, but stopped and frowned when he saw Rachel. "Hey, hey" He said, protectively pulling her into a hug "What's the matter? Why are you crying?" He soothed her.

Two things about that shocked Rachel. One that Noah was hugging her, and two that she was crying. She tried to wipe away the unexpected tears but they kept on coming.

"F- Finn. H- he- he" Rachel began to stammer, but Noah shushed her, holding onto her tighter.

"'S okay Rach, I get it" He comforted, subconsciously rocking her in his arms.

What a jerk. Why would he do that? Thought Puck. He had Rachel and he dumped her? Noah sighed and just kept holding onto Rachel, calming her shakes. Oh well, he thought, this leaves her open for me. Finn's loss, my gain. It had always been like that.

"Want to come back to mine? We can watch a film, no wait, a musical to cheer you up," Noah teased gently.

"Okay" Rachel sniffed. "Thank you Noah"

Puck smiled to himself. If he could comfort her in this troubled time, maybe she'd seem him differently. And if felt great to be holding her in his arms, knowing it was helping her.

Rachel sniffed. Why was it always Noah who helped her after a guy had let her down? He was the only guy she'd ever dated that hadn't hurt her, and here he was again, helping her through yet another break up. He acted like a jerk most of the time, but he always made her feel better. How strange that the boy in the school with the worst reputation was the one that was nicest to her.

The next day, Noah waited for Rachel by her locker and walked her to glee club. Today, some of the pairs would be performing their songs. Mike and Artie, who didn't really have many differences but suspected they were all that were left, went first and sung I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas. Then came Mercedes and Santana, singing Telephone by Lady Gaga. The final pair to perform that day were Finn and Quinn. They sung Don't Do Sadness/ Blue Wind from Spring Awakening, and after they performed shared a hug. Mr Schuester smiled. His plan to reunite the whole club was working.

Reviews make me very happy! :)
