Hey! I am so sorry. I am really bad at updating. Fanfiction is my worst writing and can't figure out why! I hope you have enjoyed my story! I don't own Glee and everyone knows it! This chapter may be a little OOC. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
Noah POV
We had finished the first disk of Pride and Prejudice when Mr. Schuester walked through the door. When he walked into the room, the air took on an awkward turn, greatly seen on the opposition to the casual air before that.
"Hey guys, how are you holding up?" He asked with a gentle smile, unlike his usual smirk.
"Relatively good, considering. I'm happy you stood up for me of course." Rach responded as she laid her head back on my shoulder. The rest of her was resting in my lap.
"I'm glad. Uh, Puck, I um, I wouldn't find it completely inappropriate for you to stay here tonight, as long as you sleep on the couch. I am going to stay here, because of the long day." Mr. Schuester replied.
I grinned as I said "Thank you so much Mr. Schue, for everything. I'm glad that you can be here for Rachel."
"Want anything to eat?" Mr. Schuester asked as he sat down in the arm chair next to them.
"No, we're good!" Rachel responded with a lot more cheer than she could muster all together lately. I grinned down at her. Mr. Schuester looked over at us with a questioning expression.
I imagine we look more like a couple than best friends. They had had a couple of romantic interludes since their friendship began and ended. Though many were under the belief that Rachel Berry was a virgin, they were wrong. Rachel and I slept together a few months after 9th grade started. I went over to her house to apologize. I had climbed in through her bedroom window, something I did when we had our secret sleepovers. Rachel was laying in her bed reading. She noticed me the instant I entered her room, but I was surprised she didn't hear me climb into the window.
She looked up at me with sad eyes and I looked back with a gaze that was loving and begging. I sat down next to her and pulled her into my arms before kissing her with fervor. That night we slept together, made love if you will. When I woke up the next morning I was ashamed. This girl couldn't love me and I shouldn't love her. I was a terrible person, trouble followed me around. I was going to turn out just like my father. So, I left. Rachel slept on as I slipped out of the window. That night was the best night of my life. I made love to my best friend and woman I was in love with. I had been a virgin before that night and I just left the girl I loved, just like my deadbeat father. I missed being with her, but I couldn't put her through being with me.
The next day at school I threw a grape slushy at her. As she licked her lips I remembered the night before and grimaced. Her gaze met mine and it told me that she was the strongest person in the world and there was no way in hell I was going to hurt her. That gaze lied, because today she broke down, because of me, because of her life, and because of herself.
Rachel POV
Mr. Schue started to apologize more for the glee club's terrible behavior as Noah stared off as if he was remembering something that happened hundreds of years ago. I nodded and said it was okay as Mr. Schue continued to apologize.
"You know Mr. Schue," I began. Mr. Schue shook his head as to say, call me Will. "Will, I think I am going to go to bed if you don't mind. I'm really tired and I need to sleep." Mr, I mean Will nodded and said goodnight as he headed upstairs for bed as well.
"Noah, Noah." I said waiting for him to turn to me. He directed his gaze towards me. "I want to go to bed." I finished. He nodded and walked me up to bed. He kissed my forehead gingerly and tucked me in before giving me his genuine smile before walking downstairs to the couch. I closed my eyes and fell sleep easily.
Noah POV
I heard a loud scream from upstairs. I jumped up, thinking of Rachel as I ran up the stairs. Mr. Schue must have heard too, because he was standing in front of her door when I got there. I looked at him and pushed the door open.
"Rachel, Rachel, baby calm down. It's me. It's Noah." I said as I sat on her bed and rocked her back and forth in my arms. She buried her head into the crook of my neck. She was sobbing uncontrollably. I continued to mumble into her hair and rub circles on her back as she calmed down. Mr. Schuester watched us with pity and interest. Finally she calmed down, lifting her head to look at me and Mr. Schuester. I pulled her closer and wiped tears off her face.
"I had a bad dream. Everyone was dead." Rachel spoke. I nodded, assuming her nightmare would be consisting of death of everyone she loves. "Can Noah stay in here the rest of the night? I need him here. Nothing fishy is going to happen. I just need some sleep." Rachel asked as she sighed and looked at Mr. Schue with pleading eyes. Mr. Schue nodded and got up.
"Sleep well." He said as he exited her room. I pulled Rachel down under the covers with me and held her close. She closed her eyes and sighed in my arms.
"Sleep honey, I'm here, I'm always here." I said as she laid her head down and nodded. We both fell asleep soundly. Rachel didn't have anymore nightmares that night.
Rachel POV
I woke up in the morning more cheerful and energized than I had been in weeks. I was ready to face the glee club and school with Noah by my side.
