The Album of Our Lives Chapter 3, a glee fanfic

Hello my readers and I am very sorry for my lack of writing lately. I just can't find the motivation to write these days… But hopefully I made up for the wait with this long chapter. I plan on updating my other stories hopefully this week and have a Fuinn one shot coming out soon. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or the songs.

"Hey Rach!" Rachel slowly turned to see Noah jogging up to her.

Rachel smiled as he reached her, softly kissing her cheek. "Yes, Noah?"

"Well," Noah began before coughing to clear his throat, "I was thinking we could maybe, well, sing a duet for Glee club this week?"

Rachel's eyes widened in surprise, "Really Noah?" She asked him just incase he had second thoughts.

"Well, yeah." He told her confidently, "I mean we already are the hottest couple in the club, well school. So let's show that we are the most talented." He told her with a wink.

"Oh Noah!" Rachel exclaimed happily as she jumped into his arms, "You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that!"

Puck smirked as he saw Jacob quickly write down notes on his little notepad. He was going to rule the school with his Hot Little Jewish American Princess.

Finn strutted down the hallway in search of Quinn. He had been waiting to tell her his exciting news all day. The anticipation was killing him.

"Quinn!" Finn excitedly yelled when he spotted his petite girlfriend.

Quinn smiled and raised an eyebrow as she turned around, "What?" She sarcastically yelled.

"No need for the sarcasm," Finn told her with a serious, well sort of serious face, "Anyways, guess what came in the mail today?"

Quinn giggled at Finn's sudden excitement, "What would that be?" She asked as he pulled out an envelope.

Finn handed her the envelope with a wide smile as he virtually shook with excitement.

Quinn pulled the letter out of the already, poorly, opened envelope. She scanned the letter as a smile began to appear on her face.

"Oh my God, Finn!" Quinn excitedly yelled as she grabbed his hands and jumped like a little kid, receiving some weird looks from surrounding students. "I can't believe you received a football scholarship from Ohio University!"

Finn laughed in excitement as Quinn finally stopped jumping, "I know! You probably would have dumped me if you saw my victory dance this morning." He said with a seriously look.

Quinn laughed and shook her head as he took her hand and led her to lunch, "This is truly the best news I've heard all day! Are you gonna go there?"

"Well unless Ohio State offers me, which looks pretty unlikely at this point," Finn said with a sigh, "Yes."

Quinn smiled sadly as she hated to see Finn upset, "Don't worry, I'll make it worth your while if you go to Ohio with me." She told him with a wink as they walked to lunch.

"Say what?" Finn asked with a raised brow.

Quinn merely giggled as they entered the cafeteria.

Mr. Schuester wrote out the week's assignment as the club began to come in. He snapped the cap back on the dry erase marker and waited for everyone to be seated.

"Feelings again?" Santana asked with a sigh, "I swear they should rename this to the feelings club."

Finn rolled his eyes as Mr. Schue began to talk, "Yes, I know that's what most of you are probably thinking. But I really feel like we need to get some true feelings out there. Rather they are about a friend, significant other, or someone you are fighting with."

Puck whispered a song idea to Rachel as Mr. Schue continued, "It's really important that we get these feelings out there guys. The competition during the road to National's is going to be harder than ever, and we need to come together to get there."

"So I want a couple people to be ready tomorrow!" Mr. Schue said with a smile.

Finn raised his hand slowly before Mr. Schue could continue, "Yes, Finn?"

"I'm ready." He told him confidently as he stood up.

Mr. Schue was taken back by surprise as he picked up his binder, "Well okay then! Let's see what you got." He told Finn with a smile as he took the empty seat next to Matt.

"Alright, well I've really wanted to sing this song for a while." Finn said confidently as he took a seat behind the drums and Puck and Artie joined him with their guitars, "And when I heard Quinn humming it the other day, I knew I had to sing it." He said with a smile as he nodded at Brad.

I'm alone, yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears, and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love, let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light

Baby, You're my Angel, come and save me tonight
You're my Angel, come and make it alright

Finn stood up from the drums as a member of the jazz band took over. He walked over to Quinn and took her hand and led her to the middle of the room.

Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feelin' inside
Yes, it's true, loneliness took me for a ride
Without your love, I'm nothing but a beggar

Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can I do? I'm sleepin' in this bed alone

Baby, You're my Angel, come and save me tonight
You're my Angel, come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight

Puck moved to the middle of the room for a guitar solo as Finn twirled Quinn around in circles.

You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why

Baby, baby, baby

You're my Angel, come and save me tonight
You're my Angel, come and make it alright
You're my Angel, come and save me tonight
You're my Angel, come and take me alright
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight

"Yeah!" Mr. Schuester said enthusiastically as he stood up and clapped, "That was a true Aerosmith tribute right there!"

Finn smiled in thanks as he led Quinn over to their seats. "That was truly amazing." Quinn told him with a smile.

"Thanks," Finn said with a chuckle, "But hey, you get all the props for putting the idea in my head."

Quinn smiled as she remembered the night she heard that song, "It's a funny story actually. I heard it when I was down in Florida, before you guys got down there."

"Oh really?" Finn asked her as he twirled a strand of her hair between his fingers.

"Yeah," Quinn continued, "It's funny because Ross actually just emailed me the other day."

Finn shook his head, "Ross? Who is that?"

"Oh," Quinn said quickly as she realized she had never told Finn about Ross, "He's just my mother's boss's son, we just talked."

"And you don't think you should have told me about him?" Finn asked her as he stood up.

"Finn settle down," Quinn tried to reason with him as she stood up, "We just email each other, it's nothing serious."

Finn made a face of astonishment, "Quinn, we agreed to not lie to each other anymore! You said you never met anyone before I got there!"

"Here we go again." Artie said with a sigh as he and Brittany watched helplessly.

"Finn, he helped me realize how much we need each other!" Quinn pleaded with him as a tear fell down her cheek, "Please don't do this."

Finn shook his head and began to back away towards the door, "I thought you had changed." He said with a final sigh as he walked out of the room.

Quinn stood there stunned as she quickly wiped her face and stopped any more tears from falling. She quietly told Mr. Schue she needed to go home and left.

"Well go talk to Finn!" Rachel yelled at Puck as they sat there still taken aback by what had just happened.

"Look," Puck told her, "If I know Finn, he needs his time. So let's just give it to him."

"So I'm going to guess that this happened a couple times last year while I was gone?" Matt asked them as they all stood up to leave.

Mike stifled a sad laugh, "You don't even know the half of it."

"What are we going to do about Finn and Quinn?" Rachel said with a sigh as she paced back and forth, "They obviously love each other; we can't just let them hurt each other like this!"

"Geeze Rach," Puck said as he scrolled through sheet music online, "Why are you so into their business? Let them work it out themselves."

Rachel looked at him with a dumbfounded expression, "Haven't you realized what happens when they break up?"

"Um, no." Puck told her with a blank expression.

Rachel sighed as she sat down on his bed, "When they aren't together they end up hanging out with me or you more often which makes it a lot more difficult for some alone time."

Puck looked up from his laptop with a sudden look of realization, "Shit B! We gotta fix that relationship, and now!" He said as he got up and began to run around his room in search of something.

"Noah," Rachel said with a giggle as she watched him frantically search for something, "What are you looking for?"

"The book that Finn and I wrote back in the day." Puck told her as if she should know.

Rachel raised an eyebrow, "Wait, your telling me that you and Finn wrote a, well book?"

Puck chuckled, "Why are you so surprised B? Anyways it wasn't like a long book, more of a bro code."

"Ha! Here it is!"

"Wow, gross." Rachel said as she saw Puck hold up an old notebook covered in dust and what looked like a couple pieces of gum.

"Yeah, this baby brings back good memories." Puck said with a smile as he flipped through the pages, "Ah, here it is."

"What?" Rachel asked with an honest curiosity as she moved to stand behind him.

Puck pointed out to what looked to be Rule #52.5. "Never interfere with a bro's budding relationship."

"Okay…" Rachel said with a laugh, "Well that helps us, but what about Finn and Quinn?"

Puck nodded in agreement as if he already knew when he began to flip through pages, "Here we go." He said as he pointed to Rule 125.

"If a bro has a good relationship fall through, another bro must help try to resurrect it." Rachel read quietly to herself, "How many rules did you guys have?"

Puck laughed as he folded the corners of both pages, "A whole lot, we were closer than most girls back in the Junior High days." He said with a sigh as he remembered the glory days.

"Well looks like you and Finn need to have a bro-out or whatever you want me to call it soon!" Rachel said with a bright smile.

Puck laughed a bit as he walked back over to his laptop, "But first, we have a duet to sing. I think I might have found the perfect song for us as well."

"Alright Puck and Rachel," Mr. Schuester said with excitement as he expected a lot from their performance, "Show us what you got."

Puck took Rachel's hand and led her to the middle of the room. He grabbed his guitar as he looked at Brad and waited to start. As the music began they both noticed Finn sit two rows behind Quinn.

Rachel

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

Puck
I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow

Both
Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

Puck watched as Finn stared at the back of Quinn as she swayed to the music.

Rachel
I know that if we give this a little time

Both
It will only bring us closer to the love we wanna find

Rachel
It's never felt so real,

Puck
no it's never felt so right

Rachel watched Quinn as she snuck glances at Finn, which he returned.

Both
No I don't want to say goodnight

Puck
I know it's time to leave,

Both
But you'll be in my dreams
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, oh, let's do this right, with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight
Kiss goodnight

"Well done!" Mr. Schuester said with a smile as Puck set his guitar down, "Great duet!"

"Thank you," Rachel spoke for the both of them as she did a little curtsy, "It's always a privilege to grace you with my talents."

Mercedes rolled her eyes and laughed, "Yeah okay, take a seat!" She joked as Rachel nodded and took a seat next to Quinn.

Puck took that as his cue to talk to Finn as he took a seat next to him.

"Ay bro," Puck whispered as Mr. Schue began writing on the dry erase board, "We need to talk, like after school."

Finn looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but nodded as he snuck another glance at the back of Quinn's head.

Hope that was as good as I imagined it would be! The songs were Angel by Aerosmith and Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum. Review please!
