A/N: KlaineBrittanaLove you are becoming my fav reviewer ever! I loved the fact that you felt last chapter had no criticisms.
A/N: This story will not have a crazy stalker for Rachel. I know it seems like it with Jesse but there are already amazing stories to do with Rachel and stalking so the Rachel-Jesse storyline might end a little tamer than people were expecting. I needed to say this because I don't want people to think oh! Another stalker story. I want this story to be different.
A/N: I am sorry for the long wait I just did 2 GCSE exams in the last few months and I have been swamped with homework and essays I really have had no time until today I was sitting in Chemistry when I got a bout of inspiration for this chapter and the next one so hopefully you won't have to wait long for the next one.
A/N: OMG 2000+ hits. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed so far!
A/N: Look I know this will come as a huge shock to all of you but I don't own Glee. I'm sorry if this revelation caused any of you to faint or die of shock. I offer my condolences :P
….GLEE/IS/EPIC….
Rachel went home in a daze. Noah had told her so much. For other people it may not have been a surprise but for him. She'd only known Noah for a few days but she was quite a good judge of character… well most of the time anyways. Noah seemed to her like the kind of guy who held his heart close to his chest scratch that! He seemed like a guy who pretended he didn't have a heart at all and he'd told her. She'd tried to come into this friendship without any serious expectations but he had confided in her, the thought brought a smile to her face.
She felt a little bit guilty thought that she couldn't confide in him. She tried but telling him her story would be like giving him a part of her that he could use for good and evil. Noah was slowly breaking down her barriers but she still felt like he had a long way to go before she could entrust him with her deepest secrets. Rachel's phone beeped and she saw that she had a text message
You're mine
Jesse
Two words. Only two but they managed to make Rachel shiver in fear. She brushed it off though what could Jesse do? Noah would help her she smiled. Ever since she and Noah had gone to the lake their friendship had grown. They talked to each other about everything… well in Rachel's case it was almost everything but Noah didn't mind.
….GLEE/IS/EPIC….
Rachel and Noah had just settled down on the sofa to watch Die hard. Ever since their meeting at the pool Rachel had been tentatively reaching out to Noah. The speed that they had become friends was amazing. They could talk for hours about random subjects and argue all day and sometimes if one of them was having a bad day and they were thinking about their pasts. They would just go to the lake and sit there in silence. Rachel didn't know what it was about the place, it might have been the fact that Noah had all his happy memories there or just the sheer beauty of it but the lake was like a place where people's sorrows washed away. They hadn't seen Finn since that first day but she didn't particularly want to see him again. He seemed very bitter and angry. Her dads were very happy that she had made a new friend in Noah but she had a feeling that they thought it was more… and it wasn't like she didn't get bubbly feelings every time she saw Noah or that when he touched her she felt like she was on fire but those feelings could be ignored right? Yes Rachel her inner voice told her you will not have any romantic feelings AT ALL for Noah even if he does have the greatest abs ever known to man… Damn! "Rachel are you even listening to me?" Noah asked her "yeah you were talking about the movie?" she said guiltily
"No I was telling you that earth had just been invaded by Martians wearing my little pony costumes" Noah said sarcastically
"Huh?" was all she could reply
"Actually I was saying that the best part of the movie was coming up but you missed it!" he looked a little angry "I'm so sorry Noah" Rachel apologized "My heads a little up in space that's all" Puck smiled at her "No problem, I just wanted to see if this part would gross you out, that's all" she punched his shoulder playfully. "Damn babes you pack a punch!" Puck whined as he rubbed his shoulder "Oh is the little baby sad?" Rachel asked teasingly.
"You could kiss it better?" he suggested but all he got was a pillow in the face suddenly the doorbell rang and Rachel stood up to answer it "It's probably your mum" She said and walked to the door and she opened it and was surprised not to see Puck's mom but two boys. One was tall, Asian and lean while the other was mixed race with a slightly bigger build. Both were wearing very casual jeans and T-shirts. "Hello is Puck there?" the Asian one asked
"Puck" Rachel wrinkled her brow in confusion "Oh you mean Noah! Yes he's here who shall I tell him is here?" Rachel asked as the two boys gave her strange looks
"Matt and Mike" The mixed race one said gesturing to himself when he said Matt and to the Asian when he said Mike. "Rachel what's taking you so…" He trailed off when he saw the two boys
"What the fuck are you doing here?" He asked them both angrily. Both boys were a little scared but Matt stepped forward "Look bro we both know that we did a shitty thing, okay? We bailed on you when times got tough but we're sorry" Mike nodded in affirmation.
"okay you got your sorry out of the way now go back and have fun with Finn 'golden boy' Hudson and leave me the fuck alone like you guys have done after Regionals and all goddam summer" Rachel sensed Noah was on the verge of an extremely violent outburst so she put her hand on his elbow and he looked at her in surprise, rage fading away. She came closer to him "Listen to them Noah, they care about you don't let your anger control everything" Puck felt his head become clearer as he absorbed Rachel's words "you guys want to go outside?" He asked them both and they nodded both shocked into silence by what had just occurred. This was mind-blowing! In all the years they had known Noah Puckerman they knew that once he became anger he was like a bulldozer destroying everything in his path but this girl he called Rachel, with one simple touch, had effectively tamed the beast.
"So what the brings you here?" He asked them both bitterly with a look that had made lesser men cry.
"Dude didn't you hear us we're here to apologise!" Mike started
"Why s'not like I care if you guys want to fuckin go watch Q or Hudson blame me for ruining their perfect lives"
"Well we care even if it makes us sound like pussies" Matt argued and Noah was taken aback at the firmness in his friends tone. Matt was always very silent around people but when comfortable he was always very funny and humorous so this seriousness was quite new to Puck. "So dude we cool?" If Puck had been alone he would have thrown them out on their asses but he considered Rachel's words they were his friends, they had never been as tight as him and Finn but they had always been there for him ignoring the days after Beth's birth"Yeah we're cool" Mike grinned at him
"Then can you tell me the hottie in the living room is? Coz that was just confusing "
"Rachel's just a friend, she's really cool and don't fucking speak about her like that Chang" Again Puck managed to make Matt and Mike speechless. When it came to objectifying women Puck was like the king of all objectifiers. The words women and respect rarely fell out of his mouth at the same time Matt and Mike quickly realized that Rachel was off-limits. Matt tutted silently to himself, He spent literally 5 minutes with Puck and he could see right through him (and this is Puck were talking about, former sex-shark the fact you could see that he even had emotions was an accomplishment).
They walked back into the living room and Mike proposed they play a game of COD. Rachel was waiting for him and she looked like she was ready to leave she walked until the door and he followed her "Rach you goin?" He asked a little confused as to why she'd leave
"Yeah Noah I figured you'd like to spend some time with Mike and Matt bonding" Puck laughed at her "Babes dudes don't bond, we play really violent games and smack talk each other but we don't bond that shits for pussies"
"Noah!" He rolled his eyes at her
"Okay Princess then that excrement is for effeminate dudes, Happy?" She frowned at him but laughed a second later and kissed him on the cheek "Have fun" and she walked out of his house back to her own and Puck walked into the living room where Matt and Mike had already set up the PS3 and were getting ready for their first games they both looked up at him and gave him a strange look "What?" he asked
"Dude your face, your smiling" Matt said and Puck gave him the signature Puckerman smirk trying to throw Matt of his trail.
"I don't smile dude, shut up, you're just trying to delay my epic win against you fuckers!" the thought of a smile forgotten the boys proceeded to spend the rest of the day and well into the night playing PS3 games and dissing each other. In other words bonding (though they would never admit to it)…
….
A/N: I know this chapter is all about Matt/Mike/Puck friendship but trust me it is important and you'll see why in a few chapters ok?
