Chapter 9- Sexual Tension Always Gets The Best Of US
Disclaimer: I do not own glee or pretty little liars or the song 'Don't Let It Show' (which is actually by alan parsons... I think)
Hey- I started school this week so I won't be able to upload as often as I have been. I'll try to upload every weekend though.
I really appreciate all the reviews. I love reading them and hearing what you guys are thinking about the story.
This chapter has Rachel's song and A LOT of Puckelberry in it. More Santana spanish and yelling. A little Kurt/Santana moment. And yeah... mostly just Puckelberry :)
And Santana's spanish will once again be translated on the bottom of the page.
Rachel looked up at thec ceiling. Why did she have to sing this song? And why to Puck. She didn't even understand.
She thought "G" was going to have her sing some love song to Puck to humilate her and make Finn angry- but this song? She just didn't get it. She sat up and sighed.
She reached for the phone sitting at the end of her bed. She examined it for a second then pressed a button on it. The phone lit up and on the screen was a photoshopped picture of her and Jacob Ben Israel.
Rachel screamed.
Then she looked at the back of the phone where it had a sticker with his name on it.
Crap! This wasn't Coach Sylvesters phone! It was Jacob Ben Israel's! Sue must've confiscated it!
Annoyed, Rachel threw the phone to the side of the room and fell back onto her bed.
The next day Kurt walked into school nervously and sat down on a bench. His heart was pounding.
What was going to happen when he got to first period. All of the sudden he felt a hand grab his. He looked to his side.
It was Santana.
She put her head on his shoulder. He felt tears falling down onto his shoulder. He hugged her closer to him and burried his face into her shoulder.
"Love sucks Hummel," she mumbled.
Kurt just nodded.
Puck walked up to Rachel who was sitting by her locker with her arms crossed. He sat beside her.
"It was Jew-fro's phone," she said unhappily.
"Crap" said Puck leaning his head into the locker. "I didn't find anything in her journal- it was just all about trying to destroy the glee club and madonna and shit".
Rachel didn't say anything.
"I don't think its her Rachel," Puck said.
Rachel still said nothing. Finn walked up to them.
"Hey- Rachel what's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm just stressed," she said getting up and leaving the two boys.
Kurt walked into spanish class.
Blaine had filled the empty seat beside him yesterday so he had to sit next to him.
The two boys were quiet for a moment.
"Can we just start over? I really don't like not talking to you," Blaine finally said.
"Why don't you like not talking to me- we just met yesterday," Kurt said a little sadly.
"Because- I thought we were kind of friends- and I haven't really made any more friends here. You were like- the only person who was actually nice to me yesterday and I really liked talking to you,".
"Okay... fine," said Kurt.
"So- we're just friends?" Blaine asked.
Kurt nodded.
"I have a girlfriend Blaine- it kind of eliminates being anything besides friends. And we just met so- you know. Even if that did happen it would be good to get to know each other" said Kurt.
"Okay" said Blaine. "Do you want to hang out over the weekend then?" he asked.
"Yeah- sure. Are you going to join glee club?"
"Ugh- do you think I should"
"Yeah- its a great place to make friends. Everyone's like family in that club and its a lot of fun"
"Okay- I'll do it," said Blaine.
Kurt smiled.
That had gone so much better than he had expected it to.
"Okay everyone. I'd like to introduce our newest member Blaine Anderson," said Mr. Schue.
Blaine waved at the group then made his way over to sit next to Kurt. Santana eyed him suspicously and pulled Kurt's chair closer to her with her foot. She noticed Brittany looking at him- that wasn't good.
This guy hadn't even said a word to her and he was already on her list.
Rachel then stood up.
"Um- Mr. Schue. I would like to perform a song- to demonstrate what we do in here- and I wanted to practice on my acting in a performance skills so my fellow glee clubers can understand how to capture the essence of a song- even if they may or may not be feeling it" Rachel said.
"Oh- okay Rachel," said Mr. Schue.
"I'm going to be doing 'Don't Let it Show'... the Pat Benatar version".
Rachel took a deep breath- her eyes darted from Puck to Finn and then she began to sing.
If it's getting harder to face everday
Don't let it show, don't let it show
She looked into Puck's eyes.
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go
And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't own me
oh...
Her heart beat. Wait- was she telling Puck not to like her? But... he didn't like her...
Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it show
Puck looked down. Rachel took a nervous breath and looked to Finn.
Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
But she didn't want to sing this verse to him and instead looked at Santana.
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there
Santana looked to Brittany squeezing Kurt's hand tighter trying not to cry.
Rachel noticed this and nervously looked back to Finn.
But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
She shook her head and looked to Quinn.
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you
ooh...
She found herself looking back to Puck. His face was sad. What was going on? Why was he sad? What was he taking from this? What could he possibly be taking from this?
Even though you think you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
Don't let it
Don't let it shhhooooowwww!
Ohhhh! Oh oh
She took a deep breath while the band played their part. Her eyes looked at everyone in the club. Everyone was looking at someone sadly. Everyone was sad. So was Rachel. She looked at Kurt who was kind of pale.
Even though you think you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in
Don't tell them anything
She turned back to Puck- just to make sure "G" would accept how much she was looking at him even though it hurt.
Don't let it
Don't let it shooooww!
Ohhhh! OHHHH! oh
She took a deep breath and looked at everyone clutching her microphone tightly. She took a few deep breaths and then said, "Well- yeah- that's how its done". And rushed back to her seat.
"That was really great Rachel" Finn said smiling. Completely oblivous to the collective pain of the glee club.
"Wow Rachel! That- that was wow!" Mr. Schue said completely amazed by her performace. "I think everyone should attempt to do a performance like that between now and next week".
Rachel heard a few phones beep.
"Oh shit" she thought.
Santana, Kurt, and Rachel all stood in the Hudmel kitchen. Santana and Kurt were all looking at their phones.
"What did you get?" Santana asked.
"I got 'fall' by michelle branch and 'wonderwall'" Kurt said.
"Well I got a choice between 'chasing pavements' and 'don't let me be the last to know"
"By Britney?"
"Yeah"
Santana glared at Rachel.
"I'm sorry guys. 'G' told me to do it"
"Why the hell would 'G' tell you to that song!" Santana screamed.
"I don't know Santana!"
"WELL NOW I HAVE TO SING TO BRITTANY ABOUT HOW MUCH I EFFIN LOVE HER!" Santana screamed.
"THIS ISN'T MY FAULT SANTANA!"
"YES IT IS BERRY! THIS IS ALL YOUR FIRGGEN FAULT!"
"STOP BLAMING EVERYTHING ON ME! I DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE!"
"WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAD TO DO THAT!"
"I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU! YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON I WOULD TELL!"
"WELL YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON THAT I WOULD'VE TOLD BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A FRIGGEN CHOICE!"
"I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO TELL ME!"
"YOU DON'T HAVE SECRETS WORTH KEEPING BERRY! NOTHING COULD BE SO HORRIBLE TO YOUR REPUTATION! YOU ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOD CHAIN! HELL! YOUR PAST THAT! YOUR LIKE IN THE HELL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOD CHAIN!"
"DON'T ACT LIKE YOUR SECRETS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN MINE! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE MISS POPULAR DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU GOT KICKED OFF THE CHERRIOS! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU WEREN'T A SLUT! WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE GUYS AT SCHOOL DIDN'T WANT YOU! HUH! YOU WOULD BE A LOSER! JUST LIKE ME!"
"SHUT UP BERRY! I WILL NEVER BE LIKE YOU"
Kurt watched the two of them too scared to interject.
"GOOD! BECAUSE MY LIFE IS A HELL OF A LOT WORSE THAN YOU! I HAVE A LOT MORE PROBLEMS THAN YOU!"
"YOU DON'T KNOW PROBLEMS BERRY!"
"OH TRUST ME! YOUR LIFE IS PERFECT! YOU HAVE NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN THE ONES YOU CREATE!"
That really got to Santana. All of the sudden she lunged at Rachel knocking her to the ground. Rachel tried to hold Santana's fists back from her face. Santana scraped Rachel's leg with her heel. Rachel threw her over to the side and into a chair. Both of them stood up and Santana started at Rachel again but Kurt stepped in front of her in time. She pushed him aside into a chair and went at Rachel who went running picking up a tray from the counter to sheild herself.
"Ven aqui puta!" Santana screamed out.
At that moment Puck and Finn ran into the door.
"Oh crap," Puck said seeing Santana in rage and immediatly went after her pulling her back. She almost fought her way out of his grip but Kurt and Finn held her back just in time.
"Que salga de mí!" she yelled to Puck and Finn. Then she looked at Rachel and screamed out "TE ODIO PUTA! TE ODIO!".
"Bring her into another room and make sure a door is locked. Then try to calm her down," Puck whispered to Kurt.
Kurt nodded.
Finn helped him bring Santana to Kurt's bedroom.
Puck stared at Rachel for a moment who was now pressing a wad of paper towels to her cut. She looked down.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
She nodded.
The two looked at each other.
"Santana's kind of scary" Rachel said trying to break the silence.
Puck nodded.
"Yeah... maybe I should help Kurt with her..."
Rachel watched as he slowly walked out of the room. She quickly wiped a tear that had somehow made its way down her face. Finn walked into the room.
She expected him to say something but he didn't.
"I knew it would happen someday. I knew when she tried to attack me when I took over Glee club last year"
"Yeah" Finn said.
Rachel leaned back into a cabinet.
Santana, Kurt, and Puck walked back into the room. Santana was crying into Kurt who was awkwardly patting her back. Rachel felt the tears fall down her face again.
At that moment Quinn walked into the kitchen. They stopped.
"WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO SING-" she started then looked around. "What the hell did I just miss?"
"Oh trust me- you are very lucky you missed it" said Kurt.
Rachel and Santana were silent for the rest of the time the group spent cooking and Santana was kept away from the knives and whatever else anyone could imagine would be lethal.
"So- how did spying on Sue go? Did you find anything?" Finn asked Puck.
"Its not her" said Puck.
"I told you guys" said Quinn.
"I still think its Karofsky," said Kurt.
He noticed Puck looking over at Rachel sadly pouring sugar into her bowl alone. If it had been anyone else but Puck he would've nudged them on the shoulder and told them to stop.
If it was anyone but Puck he would've told him that he knew.
But he didn't really want any personal moments with Puck because that just got awkward. Kurt and Puck had this unsaid agreement to be around each other as less as possible.
Puck picked up the tray and dropped it into the oven.
"Well I gotta go," he said.
"Why?" Finn asked.
"I gotta babysit my sister,"
Then he walked out the door.
Kurt noticed Rachel look sadly at the door then turn back to her bowl when Finn turned back around.
Kurt didn't want to be a bad brother but- he knew love when he saw it. And the thing going on between Rachel and Puck was exactly that.
"Well... if we have nothing else to discuss maybe we should just finish up and start on our homework. I- personally do not like staying up until four in the morning doing school work" said Kurt.
Rachel quickly poured her brownie mix into the pan and put it in the oven.
"I have so much homework," she said and made her way out of the door.
Santana glared at her as she left.
Rachel was driving to her house, which made her pass by Puck's house.
She noticed Puck gettting out of his car and yelling something. She saw a guy in his front door trying to get into the house. He was saying something to Puck and trying to calm him down.
Then Puck swung his fist at the guy nearly hitting him but the guy moved just in time and Puck slammed his fist into the door screaming. Then the guy proceeded to slam Puck into the door and knock him down to the ground kicking him.
That was all Rachel could take. She pulled her car over and immediatly got out of it blocking the other guys car.
"What the hell do you think your doing!" she screamed at him.
"Who the hell are you? His girlfriend?"
"No! I'm a friend!" she screamed.
The guy just laughed.
"Yeah- sure- get your car out of the way"
"No! I don't think it is right for you to be doing- whatever it is that you are doing! You shouldn't be here- I think..."
"You're cute- now move the effin car"
"No"
Before the guy could say anything else Puck lunged at the guy pinning him to the floor and punching him in the face. But then the guy got the upper hand and started throwing Puck into his car. Rachel clentched her fist and jumped on the guy's back putting him in a headlock.
"What the-" he started
Puck got up.
"Puck! Open my bag! In the pocket next to the rape whistle is pepper spray!"
Puck started at her bag.
"Don't do it!" the guy yelled trying to get Rachel off of him.
He fell back onto the ground causing Rachel to let go and stood up. Puck fished the pepper spray out of Rachel's bag. The guy tried to run for it so Rachel clung onto his leg. He stepped on her hands and ran off.
"NEXT TIME I CATCH YOU OVER HERE I'M CALLING THE POLICE! DON'T EVER COME BACK HERE!" Puck called out.
Rachel picked herself off the ground. Puck started kicking the guys car and began to smash the window with his fist but Rachel held him back. He looked back at her.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Isn't that what I'm supposed to be asking you?"
"I'm fine". She touched the side of his head. "Noah- your bleeding".
"Its alright" he said.
Rachel shook her head and took his hand leading him into his house. She had him sit on his bed as she found the bandages and a bag of ice and placed it on his forhead.
"I'm sorry you had to see that" he said.
"Its fine. I'm sorry he got away"
"Its not your fault. And anyways- thanks for helping. It felt nice to at least get one good punch in".
Rachel smiled pitifully at him.
"He's one of my mothers boyfriends- he's been stealing from us"
"That's horrible"
Puck nodded.
"She always finds those kinds of assholes. Ever since my father left its like she's unable to find a decent man- like she won't let herself. I swear- I will never leave my family. Ever. No matter what. Family comes first. Love always comes first".
Rachel smiled at him. Puck looked at her then coughed.
"Um- but you don't want to here about that shit," he said.
Rachel frowned.
"No- I do. Not that I like you having problems or anything but- you know"
Puck nodded. Puck looked down at Rachel's hands. They were all red and scratched.
"You should put some bandaids on those," he said.
Rachel looked down at her hands and her eyes bulged.
"I-I didn't even notice," she said.
She took a box of bandaids out and tried to open the package. Puck took the box from her and began wrapping the bandaids around her fingers.
"Thanks Puck," she said.
He smiled.
"You were pretty rough out there- hell! You had a pretty action packed day"
"I almost feel like a badass"
Puck laughed.
All of the sudden the door slammed downstairs.
"Noah! I'm home! Why are there cars out in the driveway?" Puck's mom called from downstairs.
"I have a friend over!" Puck yelled.
"Is it that Santana girl! You know I'm not an idiot Noah"
"No ma! She hasn't even been here in like- almost a year!"
"Who is it then!"
"Its Rachel!"
"The jewish girl from school!"
"Yeah!"
"Hi miss puckerman!" Rachel called out.
Puck smiled at her.
"Is she staying over! Because its getting late and you know your not allowed to have sleepovers on school nights- especially not with girls!"
Rachel tried to fight back her laughter at the extrememely embarrassed Puck.
"I KNOW MA!"
"Okay! Tell her that she can stay for dinner if she wants! We're having chinese food!"
Puck sighed. Rachel broke out into a fit of laughter.
"Shut up," he said rolling his eyes and smiling at her.
"That was just so cute" Rachel said.
She was laughing even harder.
"The big bad Puck isn't allowed to have 'sleepovers' with-"
But she was cut off by Puck jumping on her and tickling her.
"Enjoying laughing now?" he asked grinning at her.
Rachel could barely breath she was laughing so hard.
"S-st-stop!" she muttered out laughing.
She pushed him off of her and tried to make her way to the door still laughing but Puck grabbed her by her waist and continued tickling her. She fell onto the floor laughing and muttering for him to stop (she really didn't care if he did or not). He fell on top of her. He stopped but the two of them were still laughing.
The two of them looked into each other's eyes.
"NOAH! DINNER'S READY!" Puck's mom screamed.
"Mommy has your dinner for you Noah," Rachel whispered to him.
"You better watch it Rachel," Puck said with a smirk.
The two of them sat up laughing.
"Sleep with one eye open" he whispered into her ear.
"If I were you I wouldn't sleep at all," she whispered back.
She grinned at him and stood up smoothing down her skirt. Then she picked up her bag. Puck looked at her in awe and then stood up.
The two of them walked downstairs.
Puck's mom walked out of the kitchen.
"I'm sorry Ms. Puckerman. I have a lot of homework tonight. I'd love to come over another night though," Rachel said politely- even though she knew Finn would probably freak if she did.
"Okay. It was nice seeing you," she said. "Did you and Noah have fun".
Rachel bit her lip smiling a bit.
"Yeah" she said trying not to laugh.
Rachel said goodbye to them and walked out of the door. Ms. Puckerman turned to Noah and hit his arm with the plastic spoon she had in her hand.
"Noah Puckerman! Did you just have sex with her?"
"Ma! No!" Puck said.
"Don't lie to me!"
"I didn't! I swear!"
His mother looked at him for a second. Then nodded.
She turned back to the kitchen then stopped and turned back around.
"Do you want to have sex with her?"
"Ma! She has a boyfriend!"
"Noah. I know you"
"No! Ma! No!"
Ms. Puckerman raised her eyebrow at him then turned around and made her way into the kitchen.
"Well that's a first," she muttered.
Santana Translations
Ven aqui puta- Get over here bitch
Que salga de mí- Let go of me
TE ODIO PUTA! TE ODIO!- I hate you bitch! I hate you!
Okay I hope you liked this chapter. I don't really know where all the violence came from haha. It just kind of happened.
And honestly. I was going to have Puck and Rachel kiss but then- it just wasn't right in that moment. Like then I would have to bring "G" in and it would totally kill the mood so I decided to just stick to my original idea. I really wanted them to kiss though.
Okay spoilers for next chapter :) (i don't even know if you guys read these or anything but I just enjoy writing them)
Someone will be singing a mash up. I've been wanting this person to be singing these to songs for a while and I decided to just put them together and let me tell you. Mash ups are so so challenging to write but they are so much fun! I don't know if your going to have it in your head the same way I do though so they might not be that good. (I'm planning to do a few more and maybe even a medley eventually!)
There will be a completely awkward moment for Kurt. He will be traumatized (poor Kurt)
A small Puckelberry part.
And some Puck thinking about Rachel.
It might take me a little while to upload (school- week 2)
I hope you guys will enjoy it. If you ever have any ideas or concerns don't be afraid to tell me. I love hearing your opinions on the story. Thanks for all the great reviews (46!)
