When Puck left the motel room to get a pizza, he was full on ready to get one large half cheese-half meat lovers, just like he and Riley used to eat. But suddenly a thought hit him as he drove past Bleaker Street: Britney's street. Quinn had been staying there since her parents kicked her out and she couldn't stay with Finn now that he knew the baby wasn't his. She was probably hungry. The baby was probably hungry. He went to the pizza place, picked up his order and instead of driving back to the motel he made a stop at Britney's. He was surprised to see the driveway full of cars; the cars of the other glee members. Except Finn's car, of course. Puck trudged up to the front door, pizza in hand. He rang the doorbell once, not very anxious to see the door open. He could hear laughter coming from inside as Britney opened the door.

"Puck! You got my text! Goody!" Britney bounced up and down, her ponytail swinging back and forth as she did so.

"Text?" Puck had no idea what she was talking about. Truth be told, he turned his phone off so he could have peace and quiet with Riley. "I just came to drop off this pizza for Quinn. It's vegetarian, because I know veggies are good for a baby, and grease is good for Quinn." He looked over Britney's shoulder at Quinn who gave him a small smile that didn't reach her eyes. She was still pretty messed up over the whole "Rachel opened her big mouth and now Finn knows the baby's not his and now she no place to stay but with her ditzy friend" thing.

"Wait, so you're not here for the glee meeting?" It was Mike speaking.

Puck looked around the room. Yup, everyone was there, music sheets in hand. "What the fuck are you guys talking about?"

"Language Noah." Rachel walked towards him, "I tried to tell you about the extra meeting we planned in the park today but you just babbled something about happiness and then walked away with that girl. It's good that you're here, we really need to practice for regional's."

"Whoa! Stop the press! Girl? Is this the same girl from this morning? You spent the whole day with her? Puck! Leave her alone! She belongs to me!" Kurt shrieked at Puck; his already red cheeks getting redder.

"Calm down, Clay Aiken." Kurt scoffed at Puck's inaccurate name calling. He had way more style than Clay Aiken. "I don't know why you have this strange obsession with my friend, but it needs to stop. I'm not just trying to get in her pants, okay? Don't worry; she'll still be just as whimsical when I'm done with her."

"Ugh, don't say 'when I'm done with her'. It makes it sound like you're going to throw her away like a piece of trash. By the way, what is her name?" Kurt looked up at Puck, he was getting excited. All the other glee members were listening in trying to figure out what was going on. Puck never called girls his 'friend' and he never took them to a park. This was not the badass they were used to.

"None of your business. You don't even know her and you're not going to. None of you guys are. I just came to drop this off. Now, I have to go. Leave me and Riley alone." Oh damn! I just said her name! You can be a real idiot sometimes. Puck thought to himself. He walked out the door, hoping no one caught his little slip. The rest of the glee members heard the tires squeal as he sped Riley's car out of the driveway.

Back inside, the glee members were wondering what was happening with Puck.

"Um, that's not his truck." Matt pointed out.

"Yeah and what's up with this girl. Normally he just sleeps with a girl and never talks to them again. Unless he wants more sex." There was annoyance in Santana's voice, perhaps a hint of jealousy.

"Yeah you would know, Santana." Matt smirked. Santana slapped the back of his head.

"He has feeling for her." Rachel, too, was a little jealous. But then again, every girl (and some guys) would die to spend the day with Puck and have his undivided attention. "I saw them together in the park. They were holding hands. It was weird. Noah actually looked…happy? Has anyone seen him happy when he isn't putting someone in a dumpster?"

"I have." Santana grinned.

"We know." Quinn scowled and mumbled 'slut' under her breath. Santana let it since Quinn was pregnant and one of her best friends.

"Well, whoever this Riley girl is, she is totally screwing with Puck's badass-ness. She better be pretty fucking hot." Mike began to fantasize about the girl, whom he'd only heard stories of, in his head.

"Hello?" Riley's voice cracked as she spoke into her cell phone.

"Riley?! Oh thank God. I've been calling you for hours! Where are you? Are you all right? Are you hurt? Do you have a gun pointed at your head right now?" Clark was panicking. He couldn't take it if something happened to Riley.

"Calm down, I'm fine. I just needed to get away for a little while. I'll be home soon, okay?" Riley's voice was robotic. When she heard the panic in Clark's voice, she knew the mistake she'd made. There was no real explanation for why she came to Noah. She hadn't fought with Clark in a long time and he was always there for her. At least since he realized how much of a douche he had been. Riley could have easily stayed in New York with Clark and he would have made everything better. Now, recognizing that this whole trip was pointless and she was just stirring things up for no good reason. And so, as she spoke to Clark, her voice was robotic because she was trying to hold back a cascade of emotions.

Clark sighed. "This is about your parents."

"Yeah, look it's nothing to worry about-"

"I always worry about you, Riley."

It was getting harder for Riley to hold back the tears. She couldn't respond to him. So he continued speaking. "Look, I know things are really hard for you right now, so I can understand why you wanted to get away. But, next time, just tell me. Please, so I don't have to go through all the dread."

"Thank you." She choked on her words.

"I'll see you soon. I love you, you know that?" Clark had said this to her many times. And she always said it back. But now, as Noah walked back into hotel room, and she looked into his green eyes, she couldn't say it back. "Good-bye." She hung up the phone and thought to herself, I am such a bitch.

Wow. It has been a really, really, long time since I've updated. And this is pretty short too. It's probably gonna be awhile till I update again because I have alot on my plate right now. I only had a half hour to wright this! But I PROMISE that when I do update, it'll move the story along. Hope you like it! please review
