Chapter 5

Puck Pov

She ignores you all weekend and doesn't answer any of your texts.

Noah: rach! Talk 2 me about this.

Noah: c'mon Rachel, we'll work it out.

Noah: did u feel anything when we kissed? Cuz I did.

Noah: hell, I've wanted to do that since the 4th grade. You're my best friend, but the truth is… well, I can't tell you this in a text. I'm coming over.

Fifteen minutes later, you're at her house. She's in her room, and she looks like she's been crying. "Noah, before you say anything, I've loved you ever since we were 8 and you punched Jacob for trying to kiss me at the JCC. It's just, why would you want me when you could have Quinn or anyone else?" he kisses her. "Rachel, I only want you. Because you make me happy, and you make me laugh, and I've loved you since we were 9. And you're so pretty, Rachel. You're all I want."

And they kiss again. And it feels right.

It took him six and a half years, but better late then never, right?
