PREVIOUSLY: Quinn Fabray called for a New Direction meeting, just the New Directions only, to finally sort out the major scandal that had been surrounding the New Directions that forced them to scatter all over America for the past 10 years. Not only did it all come out, but the result was devastating.

And now the continuation:

CHAPTER 32 - INFIGHTING AND A MAJOR SUGGESTION
.
It was all quiet in the Choir Room except for Rachel who was sobbing into Finn's chest, as she realized that she had reacted majorly to Finn telling her about the kiss, and that she had spent the last 10 years wasting it. Finn was trying to calm her down, but he had tears running down his face after remembering that awful kiss.
Blaine and Kurt were hugging each other in complete silence, tears were also running down their faces.
Brittany had her arms interlocked with Santana, and had her head on her shoulder. Santana looked like she was ready to kill someone. She had heard some of the story from Tina, in the past, but not the full story, so she looked angry.
Kitty had pulled herself away from hugging Artie from behind, and now had climbed into his wheel chair, and they were hugging each other.
Mercedes and Sam were also hugging each other. Tears were rolling down both of their faces. Sam was consoling Mercedes more, as she was beginning to struggle with being enclosed inside, and she was beginning to freak out.
Quinn was sitting in the middle of the Choir Room, looking half angry, and half sad, with tears running down her face.
Tina was sitting where she was, feeling numb, and looking down at Kitty and Artie.
Jake also felt numb, he was wanting to be anywhere else but here.
Mike was feeling useless. He didn't know what to do do. It was half his fault. It had been his girlfriend who had done all of this damaged. He felt aware that at any moment, they could direct all their anger at him.
.
Suddenly shouting could be heard in the hallway.
"Puckerman, wait... Puckerman... Let's deal with this."
The door to the Choir Room burst opened, and an angry looking Puck, walked into the room. Everyone looked at him, he then looked at everyone, and then at Quinn.
"You got them to tell the story? THE WHOLE STORY?" yelled Puck
Quinn turned to face Puck, and nodded. She stood up. She started to walk towards Puck.
Puck held up a finger "DON'T! DON'T... YOU... DARE!"
Quinn stopped in her tracks "Noah,"
"I said DON'T!"
Puck turned to face the group, as Michael Baxter, Dan Steele (his 2nd in command), and Donald Kruger (the head of security for the training center), came running into the room.
Puck made eye contact with Mike Chang.
"This... This is... all of YOUR FAULT," yelled Puck
"Here we go again," said Tina rolling her eyes "Let's all blame Mike."
"SHUT UP TINA," yelled Puck at Tina "Just shut the fuck up for once. I'm sick and tired of you being on MY CASE!"
Tina sat there stunned.
"Mr Puckerman," said Michael "That's enough."
Puck spun around on Michael, and pointed to his friends behind him
"CAN YOU NOT SEE how devastated these people are with the full truth being exposed? CAN YOU NOT SEE how hurt they all are? CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT?"
"I can see that Mr Puckerman," said Michael calmly "And we can help them through this hard period. Which will have to be in the morning, but you need to calm down."
"I don't need to DO ANYTHING," yelled Puck still "What I do NEED is a bloody drink, but because I can't touch any booze, I'm in such amount of pain, it hurts too much, to be in this room, with THEIR pain."
"Noah," sobbed Quinn "Let me help you with the pain,"
Puck spun around on Quinn again "How can YOU help me? How can ANYONE help me?"
Quinn started walking towards Puck "I can help you!"
Puck shook his head "I know only one thing that will help."
"Don't you do anything foolish, Mr Puckerman," said Michael knowing what he was about to do
But it was too late. Puck had decided to do it at that moment in time. Puck took off in a rush towards the group, towards Mike. All Mike had time to do was stand up, but that was his error. Puck got close, and launched himself into the air, and tackled Mike. They went sprawling onto the ground.
The girls screamed.
"NOAH," yelled Quinn "PLEASE STOP!"
Puck got in a few punches "You and your girlfriend ruined my life. You need to PAY!"
Jake pulled Puck off of Mike. "Come on bro, stop it."
WHACK
Puck hit his half brother, who stumbled backwards in shock. Puck turned back to Mike, and jumped on him, and started throwing more punches.
"Stop, Noah, PLEASE!" yelled Tina beside Puck
Puck looked up at Tina with so much anger in his eyes, that she stepped backwards.
"Leave me ALONE!" yelled Puck back at Tina
Puck got a few punches in on Mike, before Blaine and Sam dragged him off of Mike
"Come on Puck," said Sam
Puck got free and elbowed Sam in the face, and then smashed Blaine with a huge jab.
"PUCK!" yelled Jake
Puck turned towards Jake, and Jake hit him with a hard uppercut.
Finn pulled Rachel halfway across the room, to get her away from the fighting.
"You're safe here," smiled Finn "Stay here."
Rachel grabbed Finn's arm "Please, don't go,"
Finn looked at Rachel, and then at Puck and Jake who were trading blows. He had no choice but to stick with Rachel.
"I'm not going anywhere."
.
"Stop it you guys," yelled Tina
Kitty walked up to Tina, and slapped in the face.
"You deserve that, bitch," said Kitty
Tina slapped Kitty back.
"Stay out of this bitch."
They started slapping each other, again and again.
.
The scene in the Choir Room was total chaos. Michael had no choice but to get Donald to bring his men to get the chaos under control. Most of the New Directions were dragged from the Choir Room to be placed in their own rooms, separated, and they basically had their own guards guarding them. It was a form of house arrest.
.
.
Quinn, Finn, Rachel, and Santana were all standing in Michael office at 12.30 a.m. in the morning. Michael was pacing around his office.
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU THINK THAT WOULD WORK OUT MISS FABRAY?" yelled Michael at Quinn "You should have left it to the professionals."
"With all due respect Mr Money Bags," interrupted Santana "Quinn felt that us as a group, needed to work through this by ourselves, and I for one, support her theory."
"Same," said Finn
"Yeah... Same," whispered Rachel
"It may have WORKED BEFORE!" yelled Michael "But as you just saw, it hasn't worked, THIS TIME! This is a complete mess."
"It's not a complete mess," said Quinn
"IT IS A COMPLETE MESS," yelled Michael back at Quinn
"Woah, settle down Mr Money Bags," replied Santana "It's not entirely Quinn's fault."
"IT IS MISS FABRAY'S FAULT," replied Michael "And stop interjecting."
"I'm allowed to interject," said Santana "When one of my friends is being attacked, I will speak up. You ordered me in here with Fabray, Hudson and Berry. You know my temper. You could have left me under house arrest."
"It's not house arrest," said Michael
"It certainly feels like it," replied Quinn "It's okay Santana, I can handle this."
"No it's not okay," started Finn "I'm with Santana. Quinn was only doing what she thought was right. It needed to be done anyway. Early in the piece, rather than anywhere towards any of the competitions. We can move forwards from this!"
"HOW CAN WE MOVE FROWARD FROM THIS, MR HUDSON?" yelled Michael at Finn "The damage has been done."
"I don't know," replied Finn
"I have an idea," whispered Rachel
"What was that Miss Berry?" asked Michael
"She said she had an idea," replied Quinn
"Oh, please, do tell!" said Michael sarcastically
"The only person who kept us together when times got tough and got the best out of us was Mr Schuester. We need Mr Schuester."
"Nope," said Michael shaking his head "It's not going to happen."
"Why not?" asked Santana "You can't just dismiss it."
"I spoke to William Schuester on my travels while trying to find you guys, and he was pretty adamant that he didn't want to be a part of this group. He was too hurt in the past by some of the comments that were made."
"That's because you spoke to him," said Rachel quietly
"What did you just say, Miss Berry?" asked Michael rather angrily
"Geez, Mr Money Bags, get your ears checked," smiled Santana "She said it was because you spoke to him."
"So what do you suggest we do then?" asked Michael
"WE," said Rachel pointing to Michael himself, Santana and Quinn "Don't do anything. Finn and I will go to him. It'll be best if we go."
"Agreed," said Quinn "Mr Schue always had a soft spot for Rachel and Finn."
"I need to go too," replied Michael
"No," replied Finn "If he said no to you the first time, he'll be the same way again,"
"I need to make it up to him," said Michael "His devastation the last time, was my fault. I'm going because I'm paying for the trip."
"Okay," said Rachel seeing sense, "But we do the talking."
"Deal," said Michael
"If anyone can sort this mess that we're in, at the moment," said Santana "It'll be Mr Schue."
"We'll go first thing in the morning," said Michael "You guys are all excused. Get some sleep. Miss Fabray you stay back."
"If Quinn's staying, I'm staying too," said Santana
"It's okay, Santana," said Quinn "I'll be fine."
Rachel, Finn and a dubious Santana, left the office. Michael waited for the door to close
"You've gone cold one me Miss Fabray?"
Quinn looked at Michael "I realized how much I love Noah, it had to end whatever we had, eventually."
"I enjoyed what we had."
"I did too, but it's over."
"It's cool. But if you ever feel the need..."
"I won't..."
"Okay you can leave,"
Quinn turned to go but turned back around
"I know you're hurting about this, but you have to stop taking it out on me, it's not fair."
Michael smiled "I understand, Okay I'll let it go."
"Thanks,"
Quinn turned and left the office. Santana was waiting for her.
"You okay?" asked Santana
"Yes," smiled Quinn "What's up,"
"You know my senses are true when they are switched on, don't you."
"Yes I do."
"Well my senses are picking up something going on between you and Mr Money Bags. Tell me, and I dare you too, that I am wrong?"
Quinn looked at Santana in the eyes.
"Something was going on, but it's over now."
Santana looked back at Quinn, and studied her.
"I believe you, was it because of Puck?"
"Yes."
"That's good then,"
Quinn and Santana walked off.
.
.
So Rachel, and Finn, along with Michael Baxter are off to find Mr Schuester. What will Mr Schuesters reaction be when they do finally meet up again? Will he come back?
Only time will tell.
