- Meet me in the Choir Room, Need to talk -
Rachel was getting her history book out of her locker when this note fell out of it, she sighed closing her locker before walking to the Choir room to see her boyfriend of two years standing there, who had graduated last year and was supposed to be at college...
"What you doing here Noah?" Rachel asked as she sat at the piano, not looking at him
"I wanted to see my girlfriend, I thought I'd get a better reaction than that but I'll let it go" Noah said walking towards her at the piano "Why haven't you been answering my texts or calls?"
"Been busy" Was Rachel's answer, still not looking at him
"Now we both know that's not true, I know you're dancing classes are on holiday" Puck said leaning on the piano looking at her "Rach what's going on?"
"Been busy with school work and glee" She said sighing, playing a couple of the keys
"Bullshit!, Rachel tell me what's going on?!" He sighed looking at her
"Have you not realised that this is the first time in 3 months we've seen each other without a video camera? We hardly see each other anymore and when we speak on the phone or on video camera all we end up doing is arguing" Rachel said standing up walking away from the piano
"I know baby, and I'm sorry about that. College is been terrible, all I seem to do these days is reports or assessments" Puck walked over to her, taking her hands in his looking at her "But baby I promise from now on everythings going to change, we'll see each other more. I'll come down every weekend, I'll pay for you train ticket to come up and stay with me, I want to sort this"
"Everythings changed Noah, I wish it hadn't but it has. We both know it has, and if I'm honest with you and myself I don't think we can fix it. I love you No, I do but I think we should give up before we end up hating each other" Rachel sniffed looking away from him
"Don't say that Rach! I'm not giving up on us. I could never hate you, I love you too much to hate you. Rachel would you just look at me" Puck said starting to get annoyed that she's not looking at him
"I'm sorry but I think it's for the best if we b-break up" Rachel looked up tears falling down her cheeks, she moved one hand up to cup his cheek "I love you No, I think I always will...Goodbye"
Rachel kissed his cheek before grabbing her bag and running out of the choir room and down the school hall out to her car, crying.
Puck ran out the choir room watching her run away from him, he groaned angrily punching the wall
"Puck! What are you doing here?" Santana said pulling him into a hug
"Hey Satan, came to see Rachel" He said staring down the hall but hugging her back
"Have you seen her yet?, She's been acting weird for a while" Santana pulled away looking at her best friends boyfriend worried
"She just broke up with me and ran away" Sighing as he looked at her "Acting weird? What do you mean weird?"
"She broke up with you?! Puck I'm so sorry! And she doesn't tell me anything anymore, she doesn't even sing in glee. She doesn't want any of the solos that Mr Schue offers her, I'm worried Puck" She looked at him biting her lip, something both her and Rachel do when their worried or scared
"She doesn't sing? Fuck what's going on in that little head of hers" Puck said running a hand threw his mohawk
"Noah Puckerman? What a surprise! Maybe now you've came to visit that girlfriend of yours will start singing again" Mr Schue said to Puck as he walked past them into the choir room.
"I gotta go find out what's going on in my girlfriends head?!" Puck sighed walking away from Santana to get to his car.
Puck drove to Rachels house, sighing in relief when he say her car in the driveway. He got out and walked up the path not bothering to knock he walked in and upstairs to her bedroom to find her sitting on her bed cuddling her legs crying, but that's not all he saw. He noticed cuts on her wrists some were old but some were fresh. He walked over to her bed quietly, taking his shoes off. Slowly climbing onto the bed next to her.
As soon as she felt the bed dip she knew it was him, she flung herself into his arms crying into his neck, mumbling "sorry" over and over again.
"Hey, you don't need to apologise to me baby. You knew I'd never let you break up with me" He kissed her temple, chuckling softly "I love you Rach. I care about you so much but I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on"
"I love you too" Rachel mumbled into his neck, still crying.
"You need to calm down baby" Puck whispered into her ear, running one hand up and down her back while the other one was buried in her hair
Rachel's cries started to calm down at Puck comfort. She pulled her face out of his neck looking up at him
"I just feel like I don't have anyone to talk to anymore. Your busy at college, Santana's struggling with her parents separating, Sam and Mike have enough trouble between them with Quinn and Tina being at college, plus Sam has to look after his little brother and sister. And I'm not really that close with all the new gleeks, only really Jake but that's cause he's your brother" She bite her lip looking up at him wondering how he's going to react
"No matter how busy I am at college, you can always call me if somethings bothering you or even if it's just to say hi. My ears are always open for you" He smiled softly kissing her nose, making her giggle "What's bothering you?"
"You promise?" Rachel giggled looking up at him, gripping onto his shirt "I feel like everyones busy with their own lives and that they don't really have time for me, like no ones there for me anymore"
"I promise you Rach, I'll listen to you whenever you need me too" Puck said smiling at her as he cupped her cheek "Baby I will always be there for you, always"
"I believe you Noah" She smiled softly, looking up at him "I love you"
"I love you too baby" Puck said leaning down and kissing her lovingly.
The couple cuddled together just lying in each others arms for the first time in 3 months. Puck kissed Rachel's forehead and then started to sing I'll stand by you quietly to her.
