…..

Rachel Berry walked into her house with anger literally radiating off her. How dare that disgusting miscreant say something like that? She hadn't been lying when she said that she knew his type.

Jesse

Why did Noah have to remind him of her? Jesse had been attractive like Noah and he'd had the same cocky charm. As a few fat tears roll down her cheeks she wonders… would Noah have done what Jesse did to her? Her hand involuntarily landed on her flat stomach and she remembered a time when she had felt a small protruding bump in that same place and she asked herself will it ever hurt any less? Her daddy Hiram came into her room and he said "Baby tonight we're having dinner with our new neighbour, she's a very nice lady and she was extremely eager to meet you darling."

"Of course daddy I'll start to get ready now okay" Her dad smiled and he went to his own room to get prepared. Deborah Puckerman had been such a nice woman. Usually he was used to so much prejudice because of his sexual orientation but she had literally welcomed him with open arms when he met her at a Jewish temple gathering being hosted by her mother. He chuckled she had seemed a little too eager to get to know his daughter and he had a sinking suspicion that she was trying to set Rachel up with her son but he guessed that maybe now was the time for Rachel to finally get over that awful St. James. The boy had seemed so nice but with him Rachel had changed and become more quiet and withdrawn, now he had his daughter back and he wanted it to stay that way. Rachel spent the day cleaning around the house and then she began to get ready for the dinner. Her daddy had said it would be semi-formal so she chose a semi-formal dresswith Crumb Catcher Strapless neckline with a band at the bust and Orange Bubble Hem. She left her hair out and curled it lightly at the ends and put on her brown leather heels. All in all she looked and felt good but she got a very sinking feeling when her father told her that her neighbour's house was within walking distance.

It couldn't be… could it?

Sure enough they stood outside the same house she had visited earlier on that day inside she was fuming but she also thought how would it look to her fathers if she put up a fight? So begrudgingly she walked up the steps of the house and put her show face on as an older woman opened the door. "Hiram, Leroy it's so nice to see you again!" She smiled. She was very beautiful for a woman of her age with dark hair and light brown eyes. "Danielle! Noah! Come down right now out guest are here" She shouted and she turned smiling to Rachel "Why hello you must be Rachel, gosh you are very beautiful! And your fathers told me you can sing my Noah can too; will you sing for us later tonight my dear?"

"Ma you'll give the girl a headache!" Rachel turned her head and saw the boy she had been talking to earlier coming down the stairs thankfully, for her sanity, he had some clothes on. "Noah" his mum said in her very serious tone.

"Hello Mr Berry and Mr…" He seemed unsure how to continue so the tall African American man continued for him "Just call me Leroy and my husband's name is Hiram it saves a lot of confusion don't cha think" He laughed and Puck laughed nervously and hoped that these two weren't like Kurt at his school because he could only handle so much talk about whether or not pearls are sutiabke for everyday wear. The smaller of the two men stepped forward "It's nice to meet you Noah this is my daughter Rachel she's going to be a senior just like you and she'll be going to William McKinley" her daddy smiled and hoped that today Rachel could make a new friend. "Hellooooooooo!" A girl of about 7 years old with dark hair like Deborah's and hazel eyes like her brothers comes running down the stairs and straight into Rachel "Oh hello I'm so sorry it's just I'm so excited to have guests and mummy was talking about having you over all day, she said that your picture was pretty and that it would be nice to set Noah up with a nice Jewish girl and that you could sing please sing for me Rachel Noah never does!" By the end of this Deborah was red in the face but Rachel pretended to ignore the whole setting up part "Of course I'll sing for you but how about we wait until after we've eaten the lovely meal that your mother cooked" Noah looked as the appreciative look on his mother's face turned into full blown adoration and thought oh shit if his mum found out how he'd treated Rachel earlier that day he would get a guilt trip of epic Jewish proportions. "But why don't you two go on upstairs to Noah's room, we wouldn't like to bore you down here" Deborah added

"Okay Mrs Puckerman" Rachel smiled politely

"Call me Debbie" Rachel nodded and walked quietly up the stairs to Puck's room. She walked in and surveyed her surroundings. It wasn't as dirty as she'd expected but she smelt flowery air freshener which proved her suspicion that his mother had cleaned his room for him. She sat down on her bed and sharply said "look I don't like you, you don't like me I'd rather we passed all the you trying to be nice to me because I know your type okay and I really am trying to avoid guys like you" Puck felt a burst of anger, how could she judge him without even knowing him? He felt like he'd felt with Quinn all over again. "Look okay I was going to apologize but you're being a complete and utter bitch, where the fuck do you think you're getting off by judging me like that! God you must think you're Ms Perfect don't you? I know girl like you, you're used to getting things you're way and not caring who you have to step over, who you have to hurt? God you know what let's just sit in fucking silence until my mum calls us and we can act nice at dinner coz I don't want to upset my mama and have her realize that the new perfect Jewish girl is just a judgemental bitch" He spat the words out violently and he saw Rachel had a look of remorse on her face but he quickly stopped any apologies she had by saying "Save it! Damage has been done Berry" A look of annoyance passed over her face when he referred to her by her last name but she quickly covered it up with a stony facial expression. After what seemed like hours of awkward silence Puck's little sister came up and told them both to come down Rachel immediately put on her fake smile and came down the stairs to the dining room where the adults were enjoying each other's company. Sadly though Puck who didn't have Rachel's impeccable acting training looked like he was a mix of angry and conflicted.

They sat down at the table and Rachel acted like the perfect guest and complimented Debbie's food and laughed at Danielle's jokes. Then as soon as they had finished eating Danielle literally pounced on Rachel and begged her to sing. "Of course sweetie" Rachel smiled at the persistent little girl.

"Why don't we move to the living room it's so much more comfortable" everyone nodded in agreement at Debbie's suggestion and they all moved to living room and occupied the chairs. Rachel spotted a guitar in the corner and she pointed to it "Who plays the guitar?" she asked.

"My Noah does and he plays fantastically would you like him to accompany you? He knows practically every song" Puck was about to protest when he saw his mother's facial expression towards him. He grabbed his guitar "Oh Darling by the Beatles please" Rachel asked and Puck began playing. When she began to sing he almost stopped her voice was melodic and smooth. She hit every note with perfection.

Oh! Darling, please believe me
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly fell down and died…

Everyone was astounded except Rachel's dads who were used to people's reactions to their daughter's voice. Danielle was the one to break the silence by jumping up and down "wow Rachel you're almost as good as Noah!" Rachel raised an eyebrow though she let the comment pass because obviously the girl would think her brother's voice was better. "Your voice is beautiful Rachel how long have you been singing" Debbie asked.

"Well I won my first singing competition when I was three months old but I think I started singing pretty much from when I was born I plan to be a star on Broadway one day" Rachel smiled and Puck watched as his mother gushed over Rachel. God why was she so perfect? And beautiful… hell to the no he was no crushing on this major bitch! Nope no way in hell! But then why would he get that fluttery feeling in his tummy when he looked at her. Maybe it was the meat his mum cooked it had looked a bit off…

Soon enough his mum was saying goodbye to the Berry's and she turned to him straight away. "So did you like her?" Puck growled in annoyance.

"Mum when are you going to understand I don't want a relationship, not now not ever god I just gave my little girl up mum give me some time before you start planning for your perfect Jewish grandbabies, oh and by the way Rachel hates me so no chance she'll be your daughter in law okay?" He shouted and then he stomped up to his room and his mother let a few tears fall from her cheeks as she watched another emotionally unstable man self-destruct in her house, the first had been his father and she would rather die than watch her son go on the same path as that good for nothing idiot!

Rachel came home and she was quietly walking up to her room when she heard her father's whispering.

"But he was so well-behaved all the women at the temple told us he was a womanizer of epic proportions and especially with that baby"

"What baby?" she asked "Are you talking about Noah?" She carried on.

"Yes cupcake see Noah doesn't exactly have a nice track record he got a girl pregnant last year and they gave the baby away for adoption" Rachel was dumbstruck as she realized just how badly she had treated Puck when maybe he was the one person who could understand her right now.

He lost his child too

She thought and she resolved that she would go to him the next day to apologize and hopefully strike up a friendship because this secret she was carrying was hurting her from the inside and out.
