Here it is. Enjoy!
I own nothing unfortunately (If I did then Rachel would have listened to Quinn and dumped Finn.)
Rachel awoke alone in her bed. Opening her eyes she tried to remember how she had gotten there. Noah had driven her home and they had watched tv for a while. She must have fallen asleep at some point. She remembered waking up in his arms as he slept and feeling complete before closing her eyes again. He must have woken up and carried her up to her room. Glancing over at her alarm clock she saw that it was about 7 pm. Her stomach growled loudly as she threw back the covers and left her bed. She opened her door and headed down the stairs to the kitchen. As she prepared a snack she noticed a note sitting on the island in the middle of the kitchen.
Hey babe,
I had to go home and cook dinner for the brat. I didn't want to wake ya, cause you're supposed to get a ton of sleep after a head injury. (I know what i'm talking about babe.) I think Satan and Q wanted to hang tonight so give them a call if you're feeling ok. I'll pick ya up for school tomorrow.
P-
Noah.
Rachel smiled as she noticed how he had signed the note. As she noticed that he had scratched Puck out she giggled. She doubted that he had ever signed a letter that way before. With a renewed bounce in her step she headed to the dining room table and grabbed her phone. Checking her text messages she saw that she had texts from both Santana and Quinn asking her to hang out. Texting them back and telling them to come over, she turned back to her fruit and finished it quickly. She was washing her bowl in the sink when the doorbell rang. She walked to the front door and opened it.
"Hey Rachel." Quinn said as she walked into the house.
"Sup Berry. We're not going to run into a naked Puckerman or anything are we? Coz we could come back if you want if you need to finish." Santana teased.
Rachel spluttered and blushed profusely.
"Leave her alone Santana. She hasn't figured it out yet." Quinn chided from the couch.
Rachel heard Santana mutter something in Spanish before she made her way into the kitchen. Rachel followed her and watched as her friend dug through her fridge before declaring that she wasn't eating rabbit shit. Deciding that they were going out, she dragged Rachel to the front door where Quinn was waiting.
"San's voice carries." She said simply when Rachel seemed confused.
The three of them got into Santana's bright red car and sang along to the music while they drove around in search of a place to eat. Deciding on the diner that Noah had taken her a few days before, they settled into a booth at the back.
"You hungry B?" Santana asked as the hostess walked away.
"I'm surprisingly hungry. I just ate a snack but I don't remember eating much yesterday." Rachel said as she browsed her menu.
"We were here on Sunday," Quinn commented as she looked through the menu. "Puck, Rachel, Sam and I came here for breakfast."
"I'd be pissed that y'all forgot to invite me, but it sounds like a hot double date. I'd hate to be the third wheel." Santana smirked when she got blushes and stuttering responses out of both of them this time.
"It wasn't a date." Quinn said quickly.
"How could it possibly be a double date Santana? None of us are dating." Rachel said as she avoided her eyes.
"Uh huh." Santana said as she tried to decide on what she was going to eat.
The waitress came by with their drinks and took their orders. As she walked away Santana turned back to the girls sitting across from her with an evil grin.
"You don't have to dating somebody to wanna fuck them." She laughed loudly when Rachel swallowed her water the wrong way.
Quinn glared at Santana as she patted Rachel's back. Santana only laughed harder as Rachel's face turned red in embarrassment.
"Santana!" Quinn barked in irritation.
"Come on Blondie. We all know you want Sammy boy. Trouty mouth is hot and that mouth of his is talented if you know what I mean." she laughed at the blushing girls across from her. "It's really not a big deal and I can guarantee he doesn't want Bitchedes after what she did to Rachel."
Quinn glared at Santana but said nothing.
"As for Berry here, she's wanted a piece of little Puck for years." She grinned as Rachel's blush spread.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Santana!" She whispered indignantly.
"Yeah right! Ever wondered why whenever things go badly with Finn you end up beside or under Puck?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Sophomore year when he decided to stop chasing you for Q, you dated Puck. Run Joey Run. That shit was seriously lame but super hot. Last year whenever Finn yelled at you or tried to get you to change you ended up at Puck's house. When you found out about me and Finn you ended up under Puck. You practically begged him to take your virginity."
"I cannot believe that he told you that!" Rachel slapped a hand on the table in anger.
"Rach, he showed up at my house a damn mess after. Of course he told me. He also told me that he'd lied to you when he left."
"What are you talking about? He didn't want to hurt Finn again." Rachel grimaced as she remembered him leaving. She had cried for hours.
Santana and Quinn shared a glance and Quinn nodded her head slightly before Santana continued.
"He didn't give a shit about Finn B. He didn't want to be a regret. He knew you'd wake up the next morning and cry and hate him." Santana said hesitantly. She kind of hoped that he didn't hate her for telling Rachel. He had been really broken up about it.
She watched as Rachel's mouth opened to protest before her eyes glazed over as she turned it over in her mind. Santana looked over to Quinn who was hiding a smile at Rachel's reaction. Maybe this wasn't going to be so difficult.
Rachel didn't say much for the rest of the meal and they didn't say anything else about it. As Santana dropped Rachel off at her house that night she climbed out of the car and said 'Thanks.'
Santana had a feeling that Rachel was thanking them for a lot more than just taking her out for dinner.
I originally had the 'Puck' crossed out but this format wouldn't take it.
Thanks to everyone who's been reviewing for this story. Let me know what you thought of the chapter.
