Chapter 4:
On Wednesday afternoon when Puck went out of school he felt slightly better, the glee club was over with the phase "we hate Puck" and was now in phase "ignoring Puck" since they thought he had gone away while they were talking to Burt. And he would not be the one telling them that he had spent the hour in Kurt's room reading his secret notebook, that was totally gay.
Instead of going back home Puck went to pick up Sarah from her nanny. When they were both in the car Sarah seemed to be sulking.
"What's going on squirt ?" He inquired.
"D doesn't want to play with me anymore. He's been all busy going in and out of the house." She said sadly.
"Really ? D'you want me to talk to him tomorrow ?" Puck asked concerned. His sister smiled.
"You'd do that ?" She asked.
"Of course I would, I know him very well." He answered, thinking that a threat or two could help him play with his sister again.
"Great !" She answered.
So the next day at ten Puck went to locker room to find D fumbling in his locker.
"Hey Dave what's up ?" Puck asked casually.
"Puckerman ? If you come to ask me if I'm the psycho who kidnapped Hummel, for the tenth time it's not me." Karofsky said defensively. It was not the answer Puck had expected
"I'm not here to talk about Kurt, the glee club takes care of that. I came here to tell you to play with my sister when your mother looks after her cause she's sad now and no one makes my sister sad." Puck said in a threatening tone.
"Look Puckerman I have a life and playing with your little sister is not my priority." Karofsky said.
"Last time someone made my sister cry he ended up kneeling in front of her to apologize and doing her homework for one month so I advice you to start again playing with her." Puck stated. Karofsky sighed.
" I'll see okay ?"
"Much better !" Puck answered before going back towards his next class.
"So now you start to care ?" Finn asked from behind him. Puck turned to face him.
"What ?"
" I saw you talking to Karofsky, it's cool if you try to find Kurt with us dude."
"I wasn't..." Puck trailed off thinking that it might be easier to lie. "Yeah, well he didn't know anything so..."
"Yeah but you tried and that's cool."
"Whatever." Puck said walking away.
However, at glee club time, everyone was still ignoring him, even Mr Schue didn't try to hide the disappointment in his eyes while looking at him.
"Why the fuck does everyone look at me that way ?" He asked pissed off. Finn stood up and faced everyone.
"It's okay guys, Puck tried to help find Kurt today." Finn told everyone.
"Really ?" Aretha asked skeptically.
"Yep, I asked Karofsky if he had anything to do with that and even threatened him a little." He lied.
"Congrats Puckerman, you succeeded in doing something everyone of us had already done !" Santana stated sarcastically. Puck was ready to snap back but Mr Schue spoke before him.
"Calm down Santana, it's nice to see that you care too Puck. Will you sing with us for Kurt today ?" He added. Puck rolled his eyes, he had refused to sing lame songs for the gay kid since it was pointless and Hummel would never hear them anyway.
"'ll see." He answered.
"What if you chose the song we'll sing today ? You said our songs are lame I guess yours won't be." Mr Schue said and the idea pleased Puck who nodded. "Great, so while you think of the song we'll do vocal rehearsal."
So, while the others all stood up and did what Shuester had told them to do, Puck remained sitting trying to find a song for Kurt. It was ironical how things had changed. One year a half ago he was literally throwing the gay kid into dumpsters and now here he was, in glee club, looking for a song to sing for him. In fact, he hated thinking about Hummel because the images he had had in his head when Quinn had first told him kept on turning in his head and he felt bad.
"Puck have made up your mind on a song ?" Mr Schue asked him once they were done rehearsing.
"Yeah, I had thought of Hey Jude since Paul wrote it for Julian in a very dark period of his life." Puck said. "Or Nowhere Man since it fits Kurt's personality but I don't know." He added.
"Let's go for Hey Jude then, I think Nowhere Man will be better for when Kurt will be back among us." Mr Schue said hopeful.
Puck stood up and when Mr Schue had motioned the band he started singing along with the others.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
At least, he thought he would be singing with the others but no one sang along with him.
"Why am I the only one to sing ?" Puck asked looking at the others.
"Well, while you were looking for the song we tried to talk to you but you were so concentrated you didn't even hear us and you chose a really beautiful song so we'll leave you singing it alone." Mr Schue stated and Puck blushed instantly, which happened really rarely.
"C'mon I'm not singing a song alone for Kurt, that's totally lame !" He complained.
"You're in glee club Puck and you've not sung a single song this week, now that we know you care about Kurt's disappearing we want to hear you singing about it so play along." The teacher said and Puck rolled his eyes but did as he was asked. When Mr Schue motioned the band to play Puck started.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
And you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid
You were made to go out and get her
The minute you let her under your heart
then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel a pain, hey Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool,
By making this world a little better.
Na na na na, na na na na.
Hey Jude, don't let me down
You have found her, now go and get her
Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
Then let it out and let it in,
Hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with
And don't you know that it's just you ? Hey Jude, you'll do,
the movement you need is on your shoulders.
Na na na na, na na na na, yeah
Hey Jude, don't make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better
Remember to let her under your skin
Then you can start to make it better.
Better, better, better, better, better oh !
The whole glee club joined him for the last lines of the song.
Na, na na na na na na,
Na na na na hey Jude
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na hey Jude.
As soon as he was done singing, Puck rushed to his seat and crossed his arms on his chest. He just sang one of the best songs ever for the gay kid who would never hear it. Unbelievable.
