A/N: This chapter is dedicated to SassyBR and KlaineBrittanalove for their lovely reviews. I'm loving the response to the story with all of your favourites and alerts but I hope you all take a minute to review. I accept smiley faces too!

A/N: I am feeling that I'm not getting my characters right, hopefully with time I'll be able to improve so Puck and Rachel may be OOC. Please review and tell me if you think I am doing it right or wrong.

A/N: The other glee members will come into this story at some point I just don't know when but they will be in the story and they may have a large part in it I also will incorporate Sam too but those are all the spoilers I'm giving away.

A/N: School had started and I am beginning my GCSE's for those of you who don't live in the UK GCSE's are like the most important exams ever for 14-16 year old (they are mostly 2 year courses). I picked some of the hardest ones out there and I am going to be suffering a lot with studying so I will try to update monthly.

…GLEE/IS/EPIC…

Rachel was nervously pacing. She really hoped that today's meeting with Puck went well and she really didn't like it when people hated her so she needed to have this sorted out. Gradually, as if willing time to go slower she walked to his house with a batch of her I'm sorry cookies, she'd named these ones I'm-sorry-I-was-a-total-bitch-to-you cookies. Nervously she knocked on the door and saw Debbie standing there. "Hi Debbie I was wondering if I could talk to Noah for a few minutes" Debbie nodded and smiled. "Yes darling he's in his room go on up" Rachel nervously went up the flight of stairs and thankfully she found the room straight away due to the Puck's room label that was written outside in childish scrawl which Rachel assumed was his sisters. She knocked at the door and heard Puck say "Come in" she entered the room and Puck looked shocked to see her. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked gruffly but Rachel had already prepared for this kind of demeanour.

"I came here to say sorry, I bought cookies?" She said hesitantly and he grabbed the cookies from her. "Look Noah we got off on a wrong foot but I don't know anyone else in town and I would like us to be friends so are we okay?"

"Look Rachel I don't know what you've heard about me but I do not need your friendship out of pity, Kay? So now that you've cleared your guilty conscience you can leave the doors open" Puck growled nastily. "Well I have heard some things but I don't care, I understand". That was it another burst of anger rippled through Puck's body "The fuck do you mean you understand? How to fuck can miss pretty n' perfect understand how it feels to have lost your little baby girl? To feel her in your arms then like some sick joke from god watch her get taken away by two people you know will be better for her, provide for her? So don't you dare say you know how I'm fucking feeling! Coz you don't and the one girl who does is probably with my ex friends right now whining about how the messed up Lima Loser ruined her life" Rachel looked sympathetic "Can you just leave? I have enough on my plate without becoming a charity case to Miss Crazy" Rachel simply sighed and left him. She knew how it felt to have lost something and to feel isolated from the world and if he was anything like her she knew that if she didn't get out of the room fast things would have been thrown. She walked to her house feeling disappointed but not discouraged and sat on her bed. Suddenly she slid of her bed and on to the floor then she took out a box labelled school stuff and reached into a small envelope beside it she pulled it out and stared at the picture, it was an ultrasound of a baby. One that once lived in her belly ate the same food as her and breathed the same air she did. A baby that had died that she would never be able to get over. She sobbed quietly hoping her dads wouldn't hear her. They knew nothing and she wanted to keep it that way. She put Funny Girl on and quietly cried because not even Barbra could save her from her emotional dark abyss. She remembered the first time she met Jesse.

Rachel had just walked out of her audition for her school's rendition of the iconic play West Side Story and she turned to see someone calling her name. It was Jesse St. James the most popular boy at their school and the most talented. He was the boy every girl wanted to date and the boy every guy wanted to be but he had never settled preferring rather to jump in and out of girls beds. He was certainly attractive with his curly brown hair and beautiful blue eyes and his toned physique. "Rachel Berry, right? I'm Jesse St. James I'm playing Tony to your Marie" She shook his hand

"But they still haven't revealed the cast" she said uncertainly. He snorted

"Please me and you were the only to people to even compare to Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer and also the only people with a sliver of talent" she smiled

"So you know West Side Story" she said. He glanced at her shocked

"And you don't? In my opinion it's the greatest musical to grace Broadway only rivalled by Wicked and Spring Awakening" Rachel grinned happily surprised

"Of course I do Broadways always been my obsession, I'm going to be a star one day you know"

"Me too I'm glad I met you Rachel Berry, would you like to go on a date with me?" she drew a breath. No one had ever been so forward with her but she figured why not? She certainly wasn't attached as her previous boyfriend had dumped her for not putting out. Was it so much to ask for her first time to be with someone she loved? "Okay Jesse I accept your offer"

It had seemed so nice in the beginning. So new but it had turned so dark after. Rachel decided she had spent enough time wallowing in her room and she wanted to see Lima. She tucked the ultrasound into her back pocket and walked out. She surveyed herself in the mirror and smiled approvingly she had chosen short denim cut-offs and a light pink halter top. She decided to start with the mall and revved up her car. She drove to the mall and walked around. The Lima mall was kind of pathetic compared to California but it would do she walked past a few boys and they wolf whistled. Rachel blushed and walked away. She got very bored easily and decided to head home but was shocked so much because when she came home there on her doorstep was…

Puck had just come back from the local grocery store where he had stocked up on some extra Jack Daniels (beer). He was about to walk into his house when he saw that Rachel chick from earlier screaming at another. "Jesse why are you here?" he saw the boy she referred to as Jesse come closer to her and was she flinching? "Rachel I want you back, I've missed you I know things have been hard with you but we can overcome it together" the Jesse guy was almost down on his knees begging Puck almost felt sorry for him.

"Hard? Jesse you left me alone to deal with the worst thing in my life, I still have nightmares every night and you think sorry will cure everything? That one apology makes everything better! Are you insane?" Rachel was hysterical she was breathing unevenly and tears were streaming down her face. Suddenly Jesse's whole demeanour changed puck could see it from hear. He lost the sad look on his face and his expression was menacing. "Listen up you spoilt diva, you are coming back to LA with me because you're mine I have fucking grovelled and now you will do as I say" Puck couldn't watch this anymore in fact looking at Rachel and Jesse he remembered a scene from his own childhood much like this

"Eli! Don't please don't!" Deborah Puckerman begged as her husband raised his hand again.

"Bitch I saw you flirting with the shopkeeper don't lie to me!" He lowered his hand sharply and a loud thwack was heard as Eli began laying into his wife "You're mine understood? Mine!" 5 year old Noah Puckerman heard this from under his bed where he held his teddy and cried. He was so ashamed. Why could he not help mommy? Because he was a coward and a loser and he was weak… Another scream reverberated around the house and Noah tried in vain to block it out.

Well he could help Rachel now as he saw her struggling to get away from this Jesse guy. He quickly dropped his beers then ran across. "Rachel, this guy bothering you?" He casually laid his hand over her shoulder. "Who the fuck are you?" Jesse shouted at him. "And why the hell have you got your hands all over my girlfriend" Rachel was still shocked and just stood there.

"Well it didn't look like she fucking wanted you here so I suggest you leave before I call the police!" Puck gave Jesse a threatening look and Jesse left but before he walked away he turned around and said –quietly but eligibly- "You're mine Rachel all mine". Rachel stood sobbing and Puck stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do but he finally decided to help her enter her house. He silently walked her up to her room all the while she cried. He took her to her room and felt the awkward silence begin to strangle him internally. After what seemed like hours she turned to him. "I know about you, about the baby you lost" Puck felt himself become angry as was his signature response when someone mentioned Beth. "No please don't go I need to show you something" Rachel said but her voice sounded strained because of the crying she pulled out a picture from her back pocket and handed it to Puck and he looked at her in disbelief it was an ultrasound picture of a baby. "That's my baby I lost mine too" she took a deep breath and waited for his reaction.
