Chapter 4: We Need You

We were reaching the end of the week and so far, I haven't been doing so well on my job. Rachel got Tina, Mike and Artie. Kurt got Mercedes pretty fast to come back and Quinn got Sam, Santana, and Brittany as well. I was the only one slacking.

I walk into the choir room and smile as I see everyone in the chairs while Mr. Shue was writing some stuff on the board. This was our first glee practice since the break up.

Rachel comes up to me looking mad though so I take a step back. "You've had all week and you're the only one who hasn't gotten any success." She says looking pissed.

"Puck is avoiding me! In the halls, in spanish, I can't get a word out!" I say frustrated. She sighs. "Well you're not welcome to the meeting until you try again." She looked so serious too.

"What? C'mon Rachel, I kind of put this all together." I say looking down at my feet. "Mr. Shue and I are working to find the perfect song to sing to Finn. Please, just get Noah. I said we could do it without him but I was wrong. Finn needs him." I sigh.

"Well how am I suppose to make him talk to me?" She gives me a small smile. "Noah is on he football field running laps. Lock him in the boys locker room and make him listen." I just shake my head and walk out.

Rachel is really creepy sometimes, I bet she's done that to him before too.

I make sure no one was around when I enter the boys locker room. I lock the door that leads into the school and then head outside onto the field, Rachel was right, he was running laps.

He was wearing a McKinley hoodie and some sweats, I couldn't see his face from where I was but by his pace, it looked like he's been out here for a while. We use to be so close, we were sort of had the Kurt/Mercedes friendship going on, but of course I ruined that.

Flashback

We were leaving spanish class and I grab him by the arm so he couldn't walk away this time. He turns to me and glares. "What?" He practically yells at me and I just pull him to a less packed area.

"Can I help you this morning, Gregory?" He asks with his serious face. "Actually I was wondering if you needed some help. Artie told me what juvie was really like and what he's going to be doing with you for the next six weeks. You lied to me." I say in a hurt way.

He sighs. "So yeah, I wasn't top dog there, it was scary as hell! I got beat up everyday and they always stole my waffles." He looks down and I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Puck, at least now you know not to get in trouble anymore." He looks up and scoffs. "I never said I'm gonna stop doing bad stuff, I'm just not going to be stealing anymore ATM machines." I smile and slap him on the shoulder.

"You are never going to change." I say shaking my head and I finally see that adorable smirk of his. "Oh please, you love me, especially the bad boy side." I roll my eyes.

"Why don't you walk me to class, Puck." He smiles and puts an arm around my waist. "No problem, Gregory. I gotta be late to my next class anyways, keeping up the image."

"Whatever, Puckerman. Now gets your hands off me!" I pull his arm off me and we keep walking. "You love it." He sings making me chuckle a little.

End Of Flashback

I see him stop and pick up his water bottle and he starts walking this way, I run back into the locker room before he can see me.

I hide behind the door. God, Rachel has turned me into such a stalker. I remember one time when she wanted to watch Karofsky to make sure he wasn't bullying Kurt anymore and she followed him for a whole weekend.

When he finally comes in I wait until he goes to his locker and then I close the door and lock it. Now there was no way out because I had the key to open the doors, which Rachel somehow already had for me.

He turns around and looks at me. "What the hell, Gregory? This is the boys locker room." He says sounding pretty angry but calm at the same time.

"Look, we need to talk, seriously Puck." He just rolls his eyes and heads for the door that leads in to the school. He tries to open it but it didn't work.

"Are you serious? You locked me in here!" Okay, there's the anger I was expecting. "Like I said, we need to talk and this apparently is the only way."

"You got to be kidding me, this is like Rachel Berry creepy." I just sigh. "Noah, here me out." I only ever called him Noah when I was super stressed or frustrated. I think he noticed that too and takes a seat on the bench farthest away from me.

"I don't see why we have to talk, I know you already got everyone back for glee club, go try your stupid plan of waking him up by song." I glare at him.

"I don't understand you, Puck. You make it clear to me that he's your best friend but when we want to try and get him to wake up, you're not up for it. I thought you loved glee club, I thought you might actually sort of love the people in it too." I take a seat next to him but he gets up right away.

"Fine, you want to know why I don't want to join up back with glee club, the real reason." I just nod. He runs a hand over his mohawk.

"I still consider Finn my best friend and yeah I want him to take up but then, there's also this part of me that doesn't want him too." I try to look him in the eyes but he wouldn't look at me. He looked ashamed.

"Finn's a better guy than me, he always has been. Finn's the guy that girls want in the long run. Me and Rachel dated for a week but of course she just ran back to Finn. Sure I got Quinn preggo when she was with Finn but I really did love her, but she still loved Finn. And you, god I thought you were hot the minute I saw you at one of the freshman year parties. I got to know you when you joined glee and you're something special. But like everyone else, you liked Finn better."

That ache in my chest hurt so much right now. He looked so serious, I want to just cry. He still wasn't looking into my eyes though, he now was looking at some of the lockers.

"I've always been second best, hell Lauren even liked one of the stupid wrestlers guys more than me. With Finn in a coma, Quinn actually acknowledges my existence, Rachel talks to me more even though it's only about glee club or Finn, and the football guys show me more respect. I know all that stuff is because there like traumatized or something but still, I don't feel like second best." I get up and stand right in front of him.

"If I did join glee again and with some miracle we got Finn to wake up with some moving song, well I'd go back to being unnoticed unless I was doing something bad." He was still looking down so I put my hand on his chin and make him look at me.

"If you did this, Finn would notice you, everyone appreciates you even if you think they don't, Puck. Especially me. You're a better guy than you give yourself credit for and you're not second best to me, I've never thought you were second best. I mean it." Our eyes were locked and I couldn't help but notice how hurt he looked, has he always felt this way?

"I don't know Ally, I'm just not sure if I can." Our heads start moving in. "I know you can, Puck." I whisper as I close my eyes. I could feel his breath and move in a little closer.

My phone starts ringing so I pull away quickly. I pick up my phone and see that it's Rachel. I look at Puck and he was looking at his feet again.

I pick it up. "What can I help you with, Rachel?" I say softly. "Get to the hospital now! Kurt got a call from Finn's mom saying that something big happened!" She sounded happy for once.

"What do you mean?" I ask quickly. "Just get down here! The rest of us are already here and Kurt said he wasn't going to tell us what's going on until you get here! NOW!" I close my phone and turn to Puck.

"We have to get to the hospital now, Rachel says somethings up." I say running to unlock the door. ONce I get it open I sprint for the parking lot, Puck right behind me.

We get into my car. "What do you mean big?" He asks and I just shrug and start driving, going way over the speed limit. "I don't know."

When we get there I park quickly and I try to keep up with Puck into the building. Damn, I didn't realize he was that fast, no wonder he's a running back. We get to the waiting room where everyone was including Mr. Shue.

I stop next to Puck and try and catch my breath. "Okay, what's going on?" All I notice is Kurt's smile. "Did Finn wake up?" Puck asks trying to catch his breath as well.

"No but the doctors said that there was some movement earlier meaning that he isn't brain dead." Everyone now looked more hopeful, especially Rachel.

"So what does that mean?" Puck asks now standing straight. "It means that if we do sing to him, there's a great chance he'll wake up." Kurt says smiling and there was a a little cheering. I smile as Rachel hugs Kurt.

"Great, me and Mr. Shue have decided on the perfect song, oh my god, Finn's gonna wake up!" Rachel squeals. I turn to Puck and he didn't look as excited as everyone else. I put a hand on his shoulder and he turns to me with a frown.

I squeeze his arm and give him a reassuring smile. "We can practice the song tomorrow and then sing it to him later tomorrow." Mr. Shue says and everyone sort of cheers.

"Ally, great job in getting Noah here. I made sure that in the song that you both have your own solos to sing to him." Rachel says and Puck pulls away from me.

"I didn't say I would join, Berry. Just leave me alone, alright." He starts to walk away and Rachel glares at me. "I'll take care of it Rachel, I promise." I run after him and grab his arm.

"Puck, c'mon. Don't do this." He looked angry. "I'm sorry, I just can't." I let go of him and he begins to walk away again. "I'm telling Rachel you're going to be at practice tomorrow." I yell at him.

"Whatever! Don't expect me to be there." I sigh. Maybe he'll surprise all of us. He cares too much for Finn, I just know it.

Flashback

"Ethan! Hey, good job on making Varsity!" I give him a hug and he squirms to get out of my grasp. "C'mon Ally, the guys are laughing at me!" I look up to see there were a couple of football guys laughing at him making me smile.

"Who cares, maybe they'll think you're getting with a hot dancer." He gets out of my grasp and glares at me. "Eww! Shut up!" The football players walk up to us.

"Aww Gregory loves Gregory, cute." Puck says smirking and slapping Ethan on the back. "You did a great job out there, Ethan." Finn says smiling at him and then turning to me.

"Hey Ally, I was wondering if you'd want to join glee club if Sue actually ends up stopping your dance team." I just smile at him. "Thanks for the offer, Finn but I doubt Sue will actually get her way with my team. We're ten times better than the cheerios. And we always look amazing at half time."

"You could say that again." Puck was smirking just making me roll my eyes. "Besides, you can't make Gregory join our glee club." I smile.

"Thanks Puck." He smirks again. "If you joined glee club I don't think I could see you as the hot dancer you are." I slap him on the shoulder and he just chuckles a little.

"It's cool if you don't want to join, but if you ever change your mind, there's always room." I smile at Finn and then I look at Ethan who looked bored as ever.

"Okay, well I'll see you guys tomorrow since our practices are at the same time." Finn nods and Ethan says bye to them and we start walking to my car.

"Hey Gregory's!" We turn around to look at Puck smiling again. "There's an end of the summer party tonight at Thomas's, why don't you come?" Ethan was the first one to say yes and I just nod.

"Great, Ally, wear something hot for me." I roll my eyes at Puck and we leave.

Believe it or not, that was the party where me and Puck had sex, he was mighty drunk that night too.
