Kitty

Off their own accord, Noah Puckerman's fingers stretched over the piano keys, bringing an all too familiar tune to life.

"Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere."

"That's the first time I've heard you sing, you know," came a voice from behind.

Puck looked around to find his most recent ex-girlfriend walking onto the stage. He had heard from Jake that she was dating Artie now.

"I didn't know you were around, everyone else is in the choir room," stated Kitty softly, taking a few more steps forward so she could lean on the piano Puck had just been playing.

"Yeah, I just needed a minute to myself," muttered Puck.

"Oh," gasped Kitty. "Sorry, I can go if you want."

"No," Puck replied a little to quickly. "Stay. Please."

Giving him a comforting smile, Kitty took a seat on the piano stool beside him. "I know how much Finn meant to you. I'm here for you if you need me," the Cheerio whispered, even though the two were alone in the auditorium.

Puck simply nodded, and looked down at his hands, which were now shaking. Annoyed with himself, he clenched them into fists, hoping the blonde girl beside him hadn't seen.

The next thing Puck knew, Kitty had laced her fingers through his own, her thumb rubbing against the back on his hand in a soothing motion.

"Aren't you dating Artie?" questioned Puck.

"Yes," was Kitty's simple reply. "But that doesn't mean I don't care about your welfare. You're still my friend, and right now, you need me more than Artie does."

"Thank you."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hope you all enjoyed that second chapter.

I chose Kitty because I wanted a chapter where Puck could be comforted, even if it was in a simple way. Kitty didn't know Finn as well as most characters, and since I've always been a fan of Puck and Kitty together, I thought she would fit the bill nicely.
