Sorry guys….I have been sick and having to write papers….This was suppose to be chapter 12 instead of 13.….
Puck is looking at a horrified Kurt and a pissed off Artie. They walk/roll closer to him.
Kurt
Puck what the hell? Don't like looking at yourself at the moment?
He walks over and puts his designer bag on the shelf. He grabs Puck's bleeding hand and shoves it under the running cold water.
Artie
How could you do it Puck? Her friend Mickie said she was in the barn when it happened, when you forced Callie.
His voice is laced with anger and hurt. He looked up to Puck.
Puck
Artie I'm not suppose to talk about it at school. Dammit Hummel.
Trying to jerk his hand away from Kurt, but Kurt was hanging on to it.
Artie
You did it, you forced a girl to have sex with you. The great Puckzilla. What a joke. Why? You always claimed you could have any girl you wanted so, why?
His voice laced with sarcasm.
Kurt
You can talk to us, Noah, we wont repeat anything you tell us. Right now you need all the friends you can get.
He looks over at Artie and hopes he promises to do the same.
Artie
No I wont repeat what you say, but I don't know if I will be able to hide my disgust though. He crosses his arms over his chest.
Puck
Fine, fucking fine then, you want to know what happened? I did it.
I forced Callie to have sex with me a year ago. I was drunk and I took some pills one of the stoners was giving out that night. I know its not an excuse, but the pills and the liquor didn't mix. I lost control.
I tried to forget about it, what happened that night. I didn't even know who I was with that night.
His free hand scrubs his Mohawk.
I met Callie again last May. I didn't recognize her, she looks so different now. We went to the party at the old Miller place. It was like being hit by something, I fell for her. We spent the next few days together, until she had to leave to spend the summer with Dad in Biloxi.
I waited all summer for her. I haven't been with anyone since she left. His voice breaks just a little bit.
We would call, text, email, send pictures and videos everyday that she was gone.
He wipes at the tears escaping his eyes.
I was so excited this morning, I was finally going to see her after two months. I walked in the choir room, you and the rest of the school heard the rest. I was a fool. And yeah Artie, a joke. The biggest punch line so far….. I am going to be a father.
He hangs his head trying to stop all the memories and images.
Artie
Puck, I wont lie to you, I am so pissed at you right now. But, you do need friends so its just gonna take a little while not to want to break your jaw.
Puck
I know Artie, trust me I know.
He looks back at the broken mirror.
Kurt
What you did was wrong Puck, but what Callie did was wrong too. Her friend said that Callie is in love with you and that she didn't plan on getting pregnant.
Kurt has finished wrapping Puck's hand with paper towels.
Puck
It doesn't matter if she does love me…..Right now it hurts too damn bad to even be around her.
Artie
Give it time Puck, you both have hurt each other way more than most people do in a life time. You have to think about your child and what is best for it.
The bell rings signaling the end of the period.
Puck
I better go get the nurse to bandage this for me and get to my next class. I cant skip this semester, without getting in worse trouble than I am already in.
Puck and Kurt grab their book bags. They all leave the restroom.
Kurt and Artie watch Puck put his trademark scowl on as he starts walking down the hallway.
Kurt
I know that you are mad at him Artie, but he is going to need all of us before this is over.
Artie
Yeah but I can still be mad at him and have his back too.
Both boys head for their next class.
