He walks in back door and steps in to the kitchen. He barely gets both feet into the room before his ma starts ranting about how he has screwed up her life just like his father.
"What the hell did I do now, Ma?", he almost screams at her. He is emotionally exhausted after the melt down with everyone at school and then Hummel wanting to be friends. He still wasn't sure about that one.
(The conversation between them)
Mrs. P- Your probation officer Mr. Watson called earlier. He said that you have a job interview tomorrow and he is going to pick you up around four. He said you have to dress nice.
Puck- Did he say where or who the interview is with?
Mrs. P- No just to have you ready by four. What does he think I am going to do with your little sister? Just let her hang out here alone?
Puck- Mrs. Lang would probably stay with her. You know Ma I have to do this, it is part of me being out of that place.
Mrs. P- Its always about you isn't it Noah? What you want, what you need…It is never about me or what I need…You are just like your father, you never think about anyone but yourself.
Puck- What the hell Ma? I worked my ass off before Juvie to help you pay the bills…
Mrs. P- Yeah that was before you knocked up that whore that wasn't even Jewish. Then you gave her the money for your bastard child..
Puck- Ma, she wasn't a whore and my child wasn't a bastard either. I claimed my child and my name is on her birth certificate too….
Mrs. P- the whore claimed Finn was the father for months until she got caught…And where is your child now Noah? She gave her away cause she knew you would never be a good father…You are just like your own father you will never make anything out of your life, just another Lima loser.
Puck- Shut up Ma! You don't know what you talking about, I am nothing like him. I would have been a good father to Beth and I would never have run away like my Dad…Quinn wouldn't have drove me away like you did Dad…
Mrs. Puckerman attacks Puck then, plummeting him with her fists. She splits his lip open again and moves to his chest. He doesn't even try to stop her, he knows that will only increase her wrath.
Her small fists connect with the bruises and he almost goes down to his knees, but she doesn't notice the pain that he is in. He finally cant take it anymore and screams for her to stop.
She looks up at her son's face and sees the bloody lip, but its his eyes that frighten her. Her big, bad son is crying and there is hate in his eyes for her. She walks away to her bedroom. She offers no comfort to son.
The pain is too much for Puck, his knees start to buckle and he slowly crumples in to a heap on the floor. He tries to hold back the sobs that want to escape his battered lips.
He feels small hands touching his face. Through his tear filled eyes he sees his sister Becky kneeling down beside him. He reaches for her unable to hold back the sob that escapes his soul, his broken words can barley be heard; I am nothing like him.
The Descent by Mark Stalling
The sun goes down
And so are we
I am screaming at you
But you don't hear me
Am I alone
Or am I crazy
The ghosts will come around
For you inevitably
