"So," Rachel said struggling with the seatbelt as she sat in Pucks truck.

"My lord Berry," He mumbled before climbing over her from where he sat nestled in his car leaning against her he reached out and fixed her seatbelt.

"Umm, thank you," She said, though what Rachel really wanted to know was how she was suckered into receiving a ride home from Noah Puckerman .

Rachel was still in awe from Puck singing and unsure why he chose that song to express what he was he was feeling now. She felt the numbness that was slowly taking over her body go into full throttle and merely nodded her head as Puck said something to her.

"So you'll be getting a ride from me then?" He asked as she slowly came back mentally.

"What?" She asked obviously confused.

"I offered you a ride, you accepted, so what are you waiting for?" He asked lightly grabbing her books from her, taking her by the writs and leading her to his car.

"Oh, yeah" Rachel thought. "That's how,"

"So," Rachel repeated again as Puck drummed his fingers against the steering wheel as the paused at a full stop. "Tom Petty eh?" She commented.

"Hmm?" Puck said not breaking his gaze from the street.

"Free falling," She said slowly, and watched as Puck let out a muffled laugh.

"I don't know any Betty Berry" Puck stated, "However I am familiar with a John Mayer," He said slowly. "Have you heard of him, not your typical Broadway music is it?" He said smugly.

"Oh course I am familiar with John Mayer," Rachel said with an eye roll. "I'll have you know that Gravity is one of the most played songs on my iTunes," She said. "However, originally Free Falling is a Tom Petty song," she said stressing the P.

Once again Puck laughed before proceeding "I know Berry I was just messing with you," he stated, but proceeded as Rachel gave him a sceptical look, "Listen, I'll admit I didn't know the song, I didn't even know who Petty was before I came across Mayer singing it,"

"Really," Rachel paused. "You like John Mayer?" Rachel questioned.

"Of course," Puck laughed. "He's just like me," Puck stated.

Rachel couldn't hold in her disbelief, "And exactly how is that?" she questioned.

"Well," Puck started "He plays a mean guitar, just like me, has women through themselves at him all the time, just like me, and more importantly is a badass," Puck said before adding, "Just like me,"

Rachel held a pregnant pause, before laughing hysterically. And it was only then, as Puck laughed with her she wondered. When had she become friends with Noah Puckerman?

"Alright, I believe this is your stop," Puck stated as he pulled into Rachel's drive way.

"Yes it is," She said while getting out, "Thanks for the ride Noah," She said smiling.

"No problem Rachel," He said as she left the car, "But if you mention it to anyone, I swear I will deny it," he stated as she walked safely into her house.

It was as she walked into her house, put her stuff down and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in, that she realised Puck had called her Rachel.

"I am confused," Mercedes said honestly "How...why would Puck willing sing to Rachel, the same who told his secret. Especially with such a romantic song?" She questioned.

"That's exactly what I asked myself," Kurt said sighing as he looked over at his best friend. "I mean honestly, she turned down a ride from Finn, to get a ride from Puck?" He said flabbergasted. "Does that make any sense?" He questioned.

"Hell to the no," Mercedes said dragging the words along. "It makes no sense at all...unless," She started but stopped.

"Unless what?" Kurt said with a smirk on his face.

"Do you think there is something going on between them?" She questioned. "Between Puck and Rachel I mean,"

"Seriously, I don't know," He said stressing the fact that he really didn't know.

"Are you going to tell Finn?" She questioned her gay friend about his crush.

"Why make something out of nothing?" He stated.

"Because this nothing might change everything," She said cryptically.

"Oh chill it Prima Donna," he stated as they both laughed.

"Whatever," she stated, but both thought silent, what the heck is going on?

Rachel stumbled into her house clumsily as she thought of her car ride with Puck. She finally snapped back to normal when she collided with the couch, and heard soft giggles. She looked up to see a pregnant blonde girl seated opposite her.

"Hey Quinn," She sighed taking a seat beside the ex-cheerio.

"So, your dads stepped out," Quinn said softly. "They said they'll be out for a while and to make ourselves dinner" She stated.

"Sure no prob," Rachel stated. "Do you want anything specific?"

"Something Mexican?" Quinn asked.

"Fajita's?" Rachel questioned.

"That would be perfect!" Quinn stated getting up and following the singer into the kitchen.

Rachel took out the ingredients for the Fajita's, and then took out the chopping board. Quinn took them from her, and then started chopping green peppers. "Honestly Quinn," Rachel stated. "You don't have to help,"

Quinn stared Rachel down before lowering her eyes. "Please Rachel," Quinn stated. "I've been nothing but mean to you since the day I met you, I've called you countless names and made you basically miserable," Quinn said all in one breathe. "Yet somehow you found it in your heart to forgive me and now whenever one has turned against me, and my parents have kicked me out you offered me a place to stay," Suddenly, a pool of tears appeared out of the pregnant teens eyes.

"Listen Quinn," Rachel said putting her hands of Quinn causing her to stop chopping the vegetables. "I forgive you, I won't lie and said that those things never bothered me, because they did," She paused. "All I know is Quinn, you're in a crappy position for lack of better words, and I wouldn't let that happen to anyone I know," she said truthfully. "And as long as you promise me that you won't hurt anyone whose different now, then I'll know I'm doing the right thing," Rachel finished.

Quinn whipped away her tears and looked at Rachel, "I promise," She smiled, and Rachel smiled with her. "One last question," Quinn asked, and as Rachel beckoned her to continue she did. "Why did you offer me to live with you?" She questioned.

"Honestly," Rachel breathed out, "Puck asked me to," She stated. "Well more like begged me to," She laughed. "He said he doesn't have any space at his house, and that I'm really the only he knows who doesn't really hate either of you at the moment, and then he played the Jewish guilt card," She said as she watched Quinn flinch.

"Oh," Quinn said breathlessly.

"Just let me make this clear," Rachel stated. "If I really didn't want you here, you wouldn't be here," Rachel pointed out. "And you are here, because I care about you, and I care about what happens to you," Rachel smiled.

Quinn smiled beamingly, "You care about practically everyone," She pointed out. "

"I wouldn't see why not, unless they have proven themselves unworthy," Rachel laughed.

"And after everything I haven't?" Quinn asked.

"In a way yes, and in a way no," Rachel said. "Because honestly I was tempering with imposed territory," She said, the territory being Finn, "And that wasn't fair, and you felt threatened and through everything I never thought about your feelings, or what would happen to you," Rachel stated. "You were always this super girl, and I really never envisioned you to have feelings. But if I hadn't thrown myself at Finn all the time, you wouldn't have been driven away and you wouldn't be in this predicament," Rachel pointed out.

"Rachel don't blame yourself for my mistake," Quinn stated.

"Let's be serious Quinn, this wasn't only your mistake, almost everyone we know played a part in this, and that is why I think it is wrong for anyone to be mad at you...or Puck for that matter," Quinn looked at Rachel as she finished speaking, before pulling the girl into a bear hug, and the rest of the night was spent giggling, making jokes and forming a great friendship between to un-expecting teens.
