Hello again you guys! How did you like Glee this week? I cried so much! Anyway here is chapter 8! I kinda am struggling with where I want to go with this story, so let me know what you want:)
I do not own Glee!
"I need you to be my boyfriend." she said.
"Um, what?" Puck asked with eyes raised. "I knew it wouldn't be long till you wanted the Puckasauraus"
Rachel rolled her eyes. She was doing this to win Finn's heart.
"Shut it, Puckerman." She stood in front of him and looked at him. " I need you to be my boyfriend. Look, I kissed Finn the other night and I felt something that I have never felt before. Not even with Jesse. Finn will never break up with Quinn because he feels she's safe and he would feel bad. Which I completely understand. He is way to good for her-"
"Rachel! Get on with it!"' Puck was getting bored.
"So, I know you have feelings for Quinn, and I happen to know she still may have feelings for you and I know you want her back. So, will you be my fake boyfriend? We can make Quinn and Finn jealous and then they will come to us. Its perfect. Kurt came up with it." She finished and put her hands on her hips.
Puck contemplated the offer. He did want Quinn back and he knew that this plan would work.
"Sure, I'll be your fake boyfriend, Berry." Rachel squealed with delight.
"Oh, thank you Noah! You have no idea how much his means to me!" she hugged him. She gave him her number. "Call me, if you have questions."
"Okay. Rachel?" he called after her.
"Yes, Noah."
"Thank you."
"For what?" she asked with utter confusion.
"For helping me get Quinn back." she turned around and smiled got into her car. She really hoped this would work. It had to right?
Rachel got home and dropped off all her things on her bed and went straight to the window where Kurt was already there waiting for what happened.
"Well, Barbra? What did he say?" Kurt asked.
"He said he would do it!" She smiled.
"Good! This is great! I can't wait to go public tomorrow in Glee club."
"I'll text Noah and tell him about a duet plan I had so we can properly announce our relationship." she got out her phone.
NOAH, NEED YOU NOW DUET TOMORROW IN GLEE CLUB TO ANNOUNCE OUR RELATIONSHIP.
-R.
She hit send and they waited.
Her phone dinged.
BADASS, SEE YOU TOMORROW BERRY.
She rolled her eyes and put her phone away.
"Thanks so much Kurt, you're a genius!"
"You're welcome, diva! Oh, Blaine just got here, so i have to go!" he said with a happy smile
"Tell him I said hello!" she said and shut her window. She quickly went to practice her duet with Puck. She may be selfish to some people but she saw it as it never hurt to get what she wanted. She wanted Finn Hudson.
Finn was distracted. Well, he always got distracted while he did his homework, but he was playing his Xbox and he was distracted. By, Rachel Berry. The way she closed her eyes when she hit a huge note, the way she ate her pancakes, the way she bit her lip while she thought really hard. There was no denying he had feelings for Rachel but could he love two girls at once.
His mom always told him that he would know when the right girl came along, he just had to stop looking. Quinn technically was looking for him and so she was hot, so I guess thats love. He looked at the time, 1:30 AM. ugh !He had school tomorrow and he still wasn't asleep. He put on a sweatshirt and walked to the chair outside. He noticed a small figure swinging back and forth humming. It was Rachel. She was in her pajamas and hair in braids. She looked so cute.
"Rachel?" Finn asked.
Rachel continued humming to herself. The music must have been loud, so he sat on the swing and she opened her eyes and screamed.
"SHH!" he covered her mouth. She muffled some words which he assumed were her rambling about him scaring her. He finally removed his hand and she still kept talking.
"Finn! How dare you? You just plopped down here and scared the living daylights out of me! Don't do that again." she huffed and folded her arms, she was just so cute when she was mad.
"Couldn't sleep?" he asked.
"No, I had a lot to do and my mind just wouldn't calm down, so I came out here. You?" she said.
"I was distracted. Homework." he lied.
"Oh." was all she said and fiddled with her headphones. They sat there in a comfortable silence until Finn decided to speak.
"So, Quinn told me she came by earlier."
"Yeah, she made me cookies. Vegan!" Rachel's eyes lit up at the thought. He was surprised Quinn was actually playing nice. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.
"Oh, thats cool! Yeah she said you wanted her to stay and watch Grease but she had to come over. I'm sorry, i know you both wanted too watch it."
"Wait, she wanted to stay?" she asked incredulously.
"Yeah, she did. Next time though right?" Rachel couldn't help but think that maybe Quinn actually wanted to be her friend and then she felt bad for what she was about to do come Glee club tomorrow.
"Uh, Yeah, Sure! Quinn's a very pretty girl, Finn." Nothing compared to you, Finn thought, even though he knew she shouldn't. A few silent minutes passed by.
"Rach?" came Finn's voice in a soft whisper.
"Hmm?"
"Do you believe in fate?" he asked.
"Of course I do Finn."
"Is fate a bad thing?" he looked at her searching for an answer in her eyes.
She chuckled a little.
"The way I see it, is that fate is anything. It can be bad or good. Fate is something that never stops. For example, my dads dying was a terrible terrible thing and I will NEVER get over it but then i moved here and met all these lovely people and made so many friends." She finished.
"What about with love? Is that fate?" he asked and he looked like a lost puppy.
"Love, to me, is fate if its missing something. Then, Finn, then there is Destiny. Destiny is when you know it, you know in your heart that you belong with that person. Fate brings you destiny. In my opinion, everyone's fate will turn into destiny, sometime." she said while she smiled.
He thought about this, it kind of made sense. So, his mom was right.
Quinn was his fate. But who was his destiny?
"Rach?"
"Yes."
"You coming here. Fate or Destiny?"
She stood up, "I'll let you know when I find out." and she went back inside her house. Finn sat there in the swing and thought about what just happened. He signed and pushed every Rachel thought out of his mind. He walked over to his house and through the door.
"Quinn is your fate, Finn." he heard Kurt's voice. Had he heard everything?
"Dude, you scared me." was all he said.
"You know, its true."
"Shut up, Kurt. Rachel and I are just friends." Kurt got him, he smirked a little.
"Whoever said anything about Rachel, Finn?" Finn groaned and walked away. Kurt couldn't wait for glee club tomorrow, boy was Finn and Quinn in for a treat.
Next Day. Rachels locker before glee.
"Okay, so are you ready Noah? So, we walk in holding hands. Then we sing our song and ill announce our relationship." she said quickly and Puck picked her up and hugged her.
"Oaf! Noah!" but then she just hugged him back and smiled.
"Let's go to Breadstix Firday, just me and you?" he said.
"Well, uh, we aren't really dating, so you don't have to take me!"
"Well, I figured since you were doing this for me, and we are fake dating, I would treat you to dinner AND we can get to know each other." Rachel smiled, maybe Puck wasn't so and after all. He seemed so nice.
"I wold love that Noah!" she said and grabbed his hand and they walked into the choir room. Rachel looked up at Puck lovingly and they took their seats. Kurt was watching and decided he liked what he saw. Phase 1: PuckleBerry- Complete.
"Hello, everyone! Before we get started with our lesson, Rachel texted me last night and told me that she and Puck had a number for everyone. Everyone exchanged a look. Kurt, Blaine, and Mercedes smiled. Quinn felt a pang of something in her heart but she wasn't sure what it was. They were just singing right? Finn was jealous. Full on jealous. He wanted to sing with that lovely voice.
"Thank you, Mr. Shue. Puck and I will be singing Need You Know by Lady Antebellum." Rachel said.
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
Finn noticed how Rachel was looking at Puck and how he looked at her. What the hell was going on? This was just too weird.
[Chorus:]
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
Quinn tried to keep her cool, why was little Miss Rachel Berry suddenly taking all her men. I mean if she liked Puck, i guess then her plan was working? But she still felt that weird feeling in her heart. What was that?
[Chorus:]
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.
Oh whoa
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
Kurt looked at Finn and noticed his hands clenched into fists. He knew Finn was jealous and after that conversation he had over heard with him and Rachel, he knew that he liked her. He was just denying it. Then he looked at Quinn, who looked sad and her hand was over her heart. She also looked angry. The plan was working.
[Chorus:]
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Well I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.
When they were done, the confused Glee club clapped.
"Thanks." said Puck.
"Noah and I would like to announce that we are in a relationship!" Rachel said and the whole group gasped.
"It's true. We are just a couple of good lookin Jews!" Rachel contemplated this statement Puck just made and nodded slightly , then smiled at everyone else.
"What?" Quinn and Finn yelled at the same time and then quickly shut themselves up.
Puck grabbed Rachel's hands and led her to their seats. They looked at each other and mentally high fived. This would totally work.
Finn stared at Rachel for a moment too long, long enough for Kurt to hit him on the back.
"Stare much?" he whispered in his ear.
"Shut up, Kurt!" He couldn't believe Rachel was going out with Puck, he didn't even know she liked him! She never mentioned anything to him about Puck! The bell rang and Puck said goodbye to Rachel and she skipped off to her locker. Finn quickly followed, he needed answers.
"Rach! Rachel!" Finn called and Rachel smirked to herself. Here he comes.
"Yes, Finn?" She said as she tried to calmly open her locker.
"What the hell was that about?"
"What was what about? Oh, me dating Puck?"
"Yeah! How come you never told me?" he demanded and Rachel rolled her eyes.
"Who I date doesn't concern you, Finn. We are friends and I didn't find it any of your business that you find out about Puck and I before anyone else."" she said.
"I thought had-"
"Stop right there, Finn. There is nothing between us. You're with Quinn, and I don't like you, I like Puck. Get over it, Finn." and she walked away. How dare she, he thought to himself. She just assumed that he liked her, well, she would prove him wrong. He did not like Rachel Berry. At all.
"Puck!" her red cheerleaders uniform swished as she ran after Puck.
"Oh, Hey Quinn. Whats up?"
"You and Rachel?" she said with a slight annoyance.
"Yeah, guess so."
"She's such a nerd though."
"She's actually pretty cool, Quinn. She doesn't tell me she loves me, then runs off with my best friend." he said and slammed his car door, leaving Quinn standing in the parking lot.
She shouldn't care. But she does. She didn't know why she cared that much. She loved Finn.
"Hey, Quinn." she heard a small voice.
"Oh, Hi, Rachel. What's up?" she said with a smile.
"I was just going home. I saw you talking to Puck. Is everything okay?" she searched Quinn's eyes for an answer because she looked so sad.
"You wouldn't understand. See you tomorrow." and with that Quinn walked away.
Rachel didn't know what that was about and she wished she could hug Quinn and push her in the direction of Puck, but that would ruin the plan. Quinn had no willpower and would probably help the plan.
She looked around the empty parking lot and saw Finn's truck and decided she should leave before he comes out and demands answers.
She couldn't help but feel bad for trying to break up Finn and Quinn but she remembered that she was helping Puck too. Was she in over her head?
Okay! Hope you enjoyed it! I promise that FInchel is endgame! Eventually!
Review! :) Love. Love. Love.
