The one thing I keep forgetting to add: I don't own Glee or the characters from the show…My OC Abby is mine..Please review and let me know how I am doing..Peace
Puck waits outside until everyone is inside the choir room. The noise of everyone talking about their next assignments and who was being paired with whom. He used to find the noise, the chattering of his friends, soothing and comforting.
Yeah his friends, the ones that didn't bother to even visit him while he was incarcerated for thirty days. No one called, no one wrote, no one even acknowledged the fact he had been gone for a long time from everything that had meant something to him.
Now the noise was deafening, making the walls close in, suffocating him. He had hoped that the familiar surroundings would make him feel welcome, instead it made him feel more like an outsider. He sees Quinn.
He had heard about Quinn and the new guy Sam, hell they even recruited him for Glee club. Guess that shows how much they really missed him, he thinks bitterly to himself.
The last time he talked with Quinn he still stood a chance of being together. But then again, once she gave Beth away, she went back to being the ice queen from hell. Puck saw the changes before he left for Juvie. He knew he was never nothing more than a way to get back at Finn.
He looks around the room one last when he sees Hummel offer a wave and a soft smile. Kurt lightly touches the empty chair next to him offering it to him. He is about to take Kurt up on his offer when his world erupts into chaos.
He was caught up in his thoughts so he never heard Mr. Shue coming up behind him. If he had it might have ended better than it did, but he didn't.
Mr. Shue's POV
I saw Puck standing in the doorway of the choir room. I have to admit my heart went out to the guy. He has had a hard life and then the mess with Quinn, Finn and the baby seemed to push him over the edge.
I never thought about my friendly gesture would get that response from him. I forgot how painful being slammed into lockers could be.
I walked up behind Puck and slapped him on the back, before I could get any words out of my mouth I was flying backwards towards the wall of lockers. With Puck's angry face inches from my own, I could see the fear, pain, and absolute terror in the young man's eyes. He had on fist wrapped in the front of my shirt and the other drawn back aimed at my face.
The next events were a mix of hysteria and words that made no sense. Someone was pulling Puck off of me, while others were screaming at him.
Kurt's POV
I saw Puck standing in the doorway, the emotions flashing across his face were heartbreaking and frightening to see. No one paid any attention to him or they were just ignoring him, he knew the feelings that were breaking Puck's heart. He had always felt so alone and that was the biggest hurt of all, loneliness in a room full of your friends.
He saw Puck look his way, he doesn't know why he smiled and offered a seat next to him, but when Puck nodded to him he felt better at making the gesture. That was until Mr. Shue touched him from behind.
The next seconds were in slow motion to my brain. I saw the momentary look of pure fear flash in Pucks eyes.
Puck reacted violently to Mr. Shue touching him, startling him. Before I could blink, Puck had violently turned around, shoving Mr. Shue backwards towards the lockers. His hand grabbed the front of Mr. Shue's shirt, the other becoming a fist drawing back to hit him.
Finn was across the room before anyone else, he grabbed Puck from behind; one arm circling around his waist and the other hooking around Puck's arm.
I followed quickly trying my best to be heard over the girls screaming for Puck to stop. They were starting to cry and to make the situation worse.
Puck turned his fury on Finn, trying to squirm out of his grasp, swinging wildly and he started screaming, "No, No, No". The fear and anger mixing in Puck's voice.
I looked at Mr. Shue, he looked shaken but okay. He was pushing himself off the lockers going towards Puck with his arm outstretched trying to calm him down. It wasn't working, Puck only fought harder against Finn.
I screamed for the girls to shut the hell up and it must have sunk in because it was quiet now except for Puck still screaming for Finn to stop, to let him go.
I walked in front of Mr. Shue and in a loud voice, "Noah, its me Kurt. I am not going to touch you, I just want you to calm down. NOAH LOOK AT ME!" That seemed to get his attention and he stopped screaming, but not struggling against Finn. His eyes were flying over person in the hallway, finally looking at me.
"Noah, please, no one is going to hurt you here. Please you are scaring everyone, including me", I said in a calm voice. I was anything but calm on the inside, I was terrified of what I had just witnessed from our resident badass.
Puck looked like he realized where he was at; finally calming down enough for Finn to loosen his hold on him. Kurt saw the tears welling up in Puck's eyes, spilling over his beautiful dark lashes.
Puck's voice broke as he spoke, "Yeah right Hummel, no one is ever going to hurt me again, especially all of you. Fuck you all. No one cared enough to come and see me, to even call me while I was in that hell hole. So what you all thought I was on a vacation? None of you know what it was like being in there, but I do. You know what? I knew all along I had no real friends, that I didn't matter to any of you." He didn't seem to realize the tears that were falling freely down his dark cheeks.
He turned to Mr. Shue, "Fuck you and fuck this stupid club, I quit" he spat with enough venom to make Mr. Shue take a step back. He turned and ran down the hall to the exit door and never looking back pushed the door open and walked away from them.
No one, not one single one of us went after the broken, beautiful young man. Mr. Shue just ushered us back into the room. He was walking a little stiff, but he brushed it off when Rachel said something about reporting it.
That's when I lost it.
(I am writing this a little differently, more of a script style here because of the exchanges between all the students.)
Kurt- "Shut up Miss Berry whose shit don't stink. Do you want to send him back to Juvie?"
Rachel" "Maybe he needs to go back there you twisted little diva"
Mercedes-"Watch who you calling a diva there Miss Got To Be The Center Of The World"
Finn-"I think we need to tell Mr. Figgins, I'm with Rachel. Maybe he does need to go back, he just attacked Mr. Shue."
Mr. Shue-"We are not telling anyone this happened, Puck was right about one thing. None of us were there for him. We have no idea what it was like for him in that place."
Kurt- "Mr. Shue is right. We should be ashamed of ourselves. One of our classmates went through something that by the reaction we all just witnessed was horrific. None of us cared enough about Puck to go and visit him, to offer him support and friendship."
Finn- "Since when did you jump on the Puck bandwagon, Kurt? Did you forget about all trips you made to the dumpster, the name calling, the same names being spray painted on your locker?"
Kurt- "No I haven't but since Puck joined Glee he changed and he even stood up for me a couple of times. All of you think about the last time you were slushied by Puck, when was it? Before he joined Glee?"
Artie-"He was changing like Kurt said, he even helped me with my chair a couple of times."
Tina-"He was nice to me before he left, he even smiled at me when he held open a door for me."
Mercedes- "When he used me to regain his popularity, he was a total gentleman to me. I enjoyed the way he treated me, until I saw him throw a kid in the dumpster. But after we broke up and I told him what I thought about the way he treated the other kids, I never saw him throw anyone else in the dumpster."
Finn- "He got Quinn pregnant and the whole mess during the pregnancy. Not telling me that he got her drunk and pregnant at the same time. He hasn't changed and he never will."
Kurt-"I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU AND QUINN THROWING THAT AROUND LIKE IT IS YOUR EXCUSE FOR ALL THE DRAMA THAT THE TWO OF YOU CAUSED. YES PUCK GOT QUINN PREGNANT, BUT THE LAST TIME I CHECKED IT TOOK TWO FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. AND FROM WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE SITUATION, SHE WENT TO PUCK. HE DIDN'T SEARCH HER OUT TO FUCK HER OR TO FUCK YOU OVER EITHER. YOU WERE FAWNING LIKE A LOST PUPPY OVER BERRY BETTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE AT THE TIME. SO ALL OF YOU ARE TO BLAME, NOT JUST PUCK! GET OVER YOURSELF FINN AND YOU TOO ICE BITCH. THE TWO OF YOU SHARE IN THE BLAME OF WHAT HAPPENED TO PUCK!
Mr. Shue-"Kurt that is enough with the language. And .."
Kurt-"I mean no disrespt Mr. Shue, but did you go see Puck while he was in Juvie?"
Mr. Shue- "No I didn't, and I regret that now. I should have supported Puck."
Kurt-"Would say that if this hadn't happened today? Or would you still not care that one of your students was alone and scared out of his mind?"
Kurt grabs his messenger bag and walks towards the door. He reaches for the door knob and turns around one last time, "I am not feeling like singing happy fucking songs at the moment. So I will take my leave". he tells them as he opens the door and walks away from the staring looks of friends.

I was checking out a movie on a
Saturday night
Found myself sympathizing with the
Characters plight
Because he used to be good
But not any more
Now he's a star
but he's started a war
