Puck walks into the locker room as if nothing has changed, as if nothing has happened to him. Don't let them smell fear…

He notices that everyone looks at him and the din of the room has died to an eerie quiet. He walks to his locker and starts to change.

Finn walks up to him and suddenly he is slammed into the locker next to his. He looks up at Finn and lets his arms stay at his sides.

Finn proceeds to yell at him.

"What the fuck man? Is it true?"

Puck just looks at Finn and doesn't say a word.

"Did you do it?"

Finn slams Puck into the locker again. Puck can feel the pain in his back and knows the bruises will be there later.

"Aren't you going to say anything?"

Finn is all but spitting each word out to Pucks face.

Puck just stares at Finn, he doesn't want to say anything in front of the rest of the team. He knows that Finn should be pissed at him. Hell the whole world should be pissed at him.

Finn is so angry, but he wants Puck to deny it to tell him it was just a mistake. His best friend couldn't do something like that to a girl. He draws his fist back ready to pound the answers from Puck. But….

Puck is saved by Coach Bieste entering the locker room.

Finn lets go of Puck's shirt and walks away from him. His face is twisted with anger and disgust.

Coach Bieste tells them she wants to talk to all of them before practice and to gather around.

"I know that between actually being there this morning to hearing it through the gossip system of this school you all know that Puckerman is the topic of discussion. I am only going to say this to all of you once.

NO matter what you heard, saw, or what your girlfriend told you; none of you know the whole story. The two people that do know the whole story have been told not to talk about it, gossip about it, or to answer questions.

I will not tolerate anyone being unnecessarily rough out on the field or off the field. This is a team and as a team you will respect Puckerman's privacy in this matter.

If I catch any of you gossiping or doing anything else that involves this matter I will make your lives hell on the field. All of you are entitled to your opinions, but keep those opinions to yourselves. Got it?

There is a rumble of yeahs from the players and they all start walking out to the field, except for Puck.

Artie nods at Puck as Finn wheels him out of the locker room. Finn just glares at him.

He sees the looks on the other faces and knows that no matter what Coach said they are going to try and kill him on the field.

He finishes getting into his gear, heading out to the field his mind has one thought, "Bring it".

The next three hours are grueling for Puck.

Coach Bieste puts him through hell on the drills, making him do them over and over.

Then on the field, he is thrown the ball more in one day than all of last season. He was hit hard, low, and on the bottom of the pile with each catch.

Yet he wanted to feel the pain, it clouded up his mind, kept all the other thoughts away. The thoughts of Callie, the baby, the lies, and the rape.

Coach Bieste made him run through the drills a couple more times before she told him to hit the showers. He didn't know she did that on purpose, it gave the other players time to leave.

Once he was in the locker room, he stripped and headed for the showers. His body felt like hell and he knew he would be black and blue in the morning.

When he finished and was dressed he headed to his truck. The parking lot was empty, thankfully. He just wanted to go home. Puck knew that he had to tell his mother everything before she found out elsewhere.

Puck started home. He drove around the corner to his house, but before he actually got there he could see his stuff on the front porch and in the yard.

Shit, she already knows.

Puck parks his truck beside the sidewalk and where a lot of his stuff is laying. He walks up to the front door and tries to open it. The chain is on the other side of the door.

He bangs on the door and his mother walks up to the other side.

This is the conversation between them…

"Ma what the hell is going on?" His voice is shaky.

"Mrs. Israel called me and told me what you did to that girl. How could you Noah?" Mrs. Puckerman's voice is cold as ice.

"Ma let me explain, please." Puck feels his world is slipping away.

'I heard it all on the internet, her son video taped it. You got her pregnant?"

"You saw it on the internet?" Puck knows that Jewfro would pay for this somehow, someway.

"Yes and so have all of my friends. They all have called me and told me how sorry they were for me. Do you know how that makes me feel?" There is hate in her voice.

"Ma I know it hurts. But I need you Ma, please." Puck is crying now, openly for the world to see.

"You are just like your father, Noah. A Lima Loser. I don't want you in my house, take your stuff and leave me alone. I have no son." The words are like blows from a fist to Puck's heart.

"Ma please don't say that, please I need you. Just let me explain. Please!" He is sobbing and begging her now. His voice broken just like his soul.

"Noah get your stuff and leave before I call the cops. I know that they are going to want to talk to you and probably arrest you. I don't want that around this house or your sister either. Goodbye Noah, never contact me again. You are dead to me."

She closes the door and he hears the deadbolt click into place.

He wipes at his face furiously as he starts grabbing his stuff and throwing it into the back of the truck. He hears someone call his name, looking around he sees his little sister holding his guitar.

"Noah I'm sorry about Mom. Did you really attack that girl?"

"Yeah squirt I did, I didn't mean to but I did."

"Did you tell her you were sorry for hurting her?"

"No not yet. She is still mad at me and I am mad at her too. But don't worry about, okay?"

"Mom was going to bust up your guitar, but I hid it for you. And I got the money that you hid in your book." Sarah hands him the guitar and the money.

"Thanks squirt. I love you Sarah, don't ever forget that okay? No matter what." Noah puts his guitar in the front seat and shoves the money in his pocket.

"I love you too Noah." The dark eyes brimming with tears.

He reaches down and hugs his little sister and gently kisses her on the forehead, before climbing into his truck.

Puck has no idea where he is going…..He leaves without looking back at the house that used to be his home.
