My True Persona Chapter 3, a glee fanfic

Hi people's! Here is another chapter for you, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 3

It has been a week since that conversation and Noah is acting strange. Well not really strange, he just hasn't tried to convince me to be myself at school since then, which is weird as I get at least 3 lectures a week.

He still acts like his usual cocky, flirtatious self, much like me. I would have just brushed it off, but my Puckerman Berry twin warning system has kicked in, highlighting the extra side glances Noah sends me at school as well as that glint in his eyes.

He is definitely planning something!

Knowing that no matter how hard I try, he won't tell me a thing and play it off as being completely innocent, I decide to let it play out. I have faith that my brother won't do anything to stupid, or at least stupid enough to cause me serious problems, no matter how much of an idiot he can be sometimes.

Don't get me wrong. I love my brother and think the world of him, but sometimes he's just not ticking on all cylinders.

Get this right, one time this hot woman knocked on our door trying to promote the issues of global warming, something like that anyway... Dad and daddy had literally just gone to the shop down the road to pick up some soy milk for me, so dear Noah thinks it is a good idea to turn on the charm and invites her in the house. It is not 10 minutes later when they are having sex on the couch when both of our fathers walk in and Dad squeals dropping the shopping, causing me to bolt downstairs to see what the problem was, while daddy went red with embarrassment and anger. I had laughed so hard at that! That chick was so fast out that door you would think the house was on fire! Unfortunately, our fathers didn't appreciate my amusement and punished me a long with my brother... SO UNFAIR!

Ahem, anyway...

I went through my usual morning routine, like I do every other day. Dressing in my red tank top, leather jacket and skinny jeans, giving both my father's a kiss on the cheek before getting in my car, changing into the ugly sweater and short, short skirt.

My morning was expected with the usual bitchy comments and daily slushy, nothing to shocking. I remembered we had a glee meeting at lunch today; me, being in 'Rachel Berry mode' absolutely must arrive before anyone else, which I would have if Noah was not already there...

Seeing nobody else in the choir room yet I let my act drop.

"Why are you here so early?" I ask suspiciously

"Just had to set up some stuff ready for my performance" he replies innocently... Too innocently.

"What are you up to Noah?" I demand, sensing something slightly off about all of this.

"Nothing! How could you possibly think so little of me?" He replies acting mockingly hurt

"Oh please, you are easier to read than a fucking picture book; it is obvious you are up to something" I cross my arms raising an eyebrow.

'Gasp' "Rachel Berry just swore? I am shocked!" I roll my eyes, seriously, what is with his drama queen... Ness today?

"You know very well I am not Rachel Berry right now" I say tiredly.

He grins and is about to reply when the door bursts open Kurt and Mercedes, gossiping away when their eyes land on us.

"What's Puck doing here so early" his eyes darting between the two of us accusingly landing on me.

I put on the Rachel Berry smile before bursting into chatter "I am so glad you asked Kurt, it seems that Puck here is going to grace is with what I am sure will be a completely satisfactory performance. I am truly impressed that another member of this club has put in the extra effort that I always put in, maybe everyone could learn from Puck here, minus myself of course". Noah raises an eyebrow at me and I can see he is fighting back a smile at my disguised dig at everyone.

"Listen diva, just because you think you can sing, does not mean you can boss us around girl. We do our thing and you do yours, whatever that is" spouts Mercedes, clearly dismayed as Kurt rolls his eyes at me. I am not surprised, hell even I would want to punch me in the face for saying that. Hehe that would be funny. God I really hang around Noah too much.

Not long after that the rest of the Glee club show up, including Finn and Quinn acting all couple-y (gag) as well as Brittany and Santana. They only joined the club because Finn did when he was trying to get into my pants. I may have flirted a teeny tiny bit with him, but I can't control my character when I am so deep into it. It has nothing to do with Quinn at all...

Mr Schue arrives unsurprisingly late before throwing his stuff onto the table. However, before he can begin his usual lecture about sectionals a hand shoots up in the air. He looks surprised to find Noah looking at him expectantly.

"What can I do for you Puck?" he asks using his nickname. I think he just does that to try and sound 'down with the kids'.

"Well Mr Schue, I have a song I prepared for today if you don't mind" already standing up and setting himself up at the front, not waiting for Mr Schue's reply.

"er sure" he replies a little shocked.

I am sat in the front row on my own watching Noah suspiciously while the rest of the club shift in their seats, curious as to what Puck has for them. Clearly expecting something dirty.

"Hey guys, this song is for someone important to me, mainly just to get them to take their head out of their ass but, well, here it goes" he says slightly unsure and unusually nervous.

Oh hell no! He can't seriously be doing this! In front of everyone? I take it back; he is stupid enough to do something that could ruin me!

Everyone immediately perks up, wondering who has Puck in such a tie that he is going as far as to sing for them. Of course they would all think of it as a love interest! This is just getting worse.

He starts strumming on his guitar, picking up a familiar beat...

One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It's just another day

He sings looking directly in my eyes, making it obvious to everyone who he is singing this for. I try and tare my eyes away, but find myself stuck; those words really struck a chord.

There's bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off

I know it was tuff for him to watch people bully me and not be able to do anything about it, but, seeing the emotion in his eyes, I guess I didn't realise how much.

(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win

You tell me everything's alright
And I just go along
How can I fall asleep at night?
When something's clearly wrong

He changed the words from 'we' to 'you' and 'me'. Why can't he understand that I need to do this, for all of us?

When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's not that simple! He will be in the same position as me if I let him help and I will not let that happen!

We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no giving in
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win

I can't.

The right thing to guide us
Is right here, inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is nearly gone
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on

And the drumbeat carries on
(Just like a heartbeat)

It doesn't work like that.

He finishes, not having moved his eyes from mine which are now full of tears.

"That was 'when we stand together' by Nickelback for those who didn't know" he chuckles nervously at the end.

I can feel everyone's eyes burning a hole in the back of my head, but I don't turn around. I can't believe he just did that in front of everyone.

I can't stay here any longer. I stand up slamming my hands on the table, startling everyone with my un-Rachel Berry behaviour. I stare at him straight in the eye and can see him visibly shrink under the heat he must see in them, I can't help it though. I am furious.

I turn to storm out of the room when he grabs my wrist. "Rachel" he pleads. God! Can he make it any worse!

I turn to him saying the only thing that comes to mind. "Don't" I force out through clenched teeth, trying to hold in my anger for when I reach a bathroom or something.

His gaze is apologetic, I think he realises that he shouldn't have done that so he lets me go, with everyone else's words following me.

"What the hell? Does Puck have the hot's for man hands?"

"How the hell could she turn down Puck? She's even more of an idiot than I thought!"

"She's such a diva"

"Oh she will pay for doing that to our star player!"

"I thought I was the star player?"

"I want to see the ducks..."

"What is it with her? Does everyone just fall for her?"

That last one was from Quinn, but I didn't have the time to respond to that, so I just ran to the furthest bathroom, locking the door as I let the tears fall, taking my anger out on the bathroom door, kicking it repeatedly.

I stayed in the bathroom until the end of the day; I couldn't bring myself to sit through another lesson after everything that had happened.

So I waited for the majority of the students to leave before heading out to my own car.

Fucking typical.

Some bastard thought it would be funny to spray paint faggot fathers on my car and remove all 4 tires.

Feeling someone's hand on my shoulder I spun around, ready to give them a piece of my mind only to find a very regretful looking Noah.

"I am so sorry Rachel! I didn't think it would be like that. I thought that I could give you a little bit of a push to come out to everyone and just be you..." he trails off looking completely miserable mumbling quietly "I certainly didn't think they would do that..."

"Well what did you expect Noah" I raise my voice slightly, noticing no one is around, so it was fairly safe to be myself.

I soften my tone slightly noticing how he flinched. "Look, I didn't mean to get so mad but you have to understand that I don't want you dragged into this. Now, I don't know whether to be happy that they misinterpreted your performance as a confession of love or disgusted." I say, instantly lightening the mood.

"Hey, I am a good catch I will have you know, you should be honoured" he attempts to joke back, but his smile does not reach his eyes.

"I would be honoured if you weren't my twin brother! You have man parts and everything..." I say, cringing at that last comment.

"It would be really gross, don't get me wrong, you are hot, but then that's because you're related to me" he says smugly, finally smiling for real.

I punch him lightly on the arm "Come on, you can give me a ride home since it's your fault mines ruined in the first place" I skip off, throwing over my shoulder "You're paying for that by the way."

He chases after me, holding the door open, "I can do a lot more than that to make up for this" he says closing the door and getting in his side.

"Oh?" I question intrigued by what he has in mind.

"Hell yes! We are going to the underground tonight bitches!" he hollers while my eyes widen like saucers.

There is a reason that club is my favourite and why it is always a trek to get Noah to come with me. "You're seriously going to take me to the gay club?" I question excitedly.

"Of course, it's your favourite club and I owe you" he says sincerely.

I jump out of my seat to wrap my arms around his neck squealing "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Don't get me wrong, straight girls are fun and always interesting to show them their gay side, oh and cute when they don't know what to do, but there is something about a self proclaimed lesbian which is more fun and less complicated, certainly makes one night stands easier.

"Besides, it has been a while since I have bedded a lesbo" he adds smugly.

That my friends, is why we are related, got to love my brother!

They both drive off, not realising that someone had just seen Rachel from a distance, getting into Puck's car.

Who saw them? What will happen next i wonder?
