A note from the Muse…
Questions have arose that I should answer since I am the one that is bouncing around in her head on this story…..Hemmy is a different creature than most of you and from a different time than most of you….
Puck and Callie wanted the same thing….Acceptance from their peers….Its twisted and its wrong, but it happens….
In this story, Callie was drinking the night it happened….She wanted to be like all the other girls at the party…At least in her own mind, she wanted to be popular and wanted by a guy…And the stud of the high school wanted her…She went willingly with Puck to the loft….She let him get far enough that most guys would say too far to really stop….She really hasn't explained herself in the story, but she will….
Puck was on meds that someone jacked out of their mom's medicine cabinet…Drinking whiskey and beer…Totally wasted mentally…
Most men and women today are on a variety of meds that range from anti depression, anti anxiety, anti psychotic, to speed, to knock me out so I don't have to deal with them(kids) pills…Most of these drugs have warnings about mixing with alcohol…Most of these drugs can also increase a person's rage as well as happiness….It depends on the personality….I know this one personally myself, since I was depressed for years and the drugs that they tried me on had varied results….From I am really going to kill myself -tried and freaked out the family- to nothing could bother me, you could have slapped me and I would have smiled at you- to I had an uncontrollable rage inside, I would tear up my room-I would go after my friends and start fist fights with them-Attacking my family….All while under the influence of drugs that were suppose to help me….So imagine what would happen to a kid that was drinking and doing these types of drugs…
And its called pharming…Kids clean out the medicine cabinet at home and take the pills to a party…No one knows what they are taking or how dangerous they are…
And Puck did not start off as a character on the show that was someone you could root for, he was a bully, he was one of the jocks you hated in school…
he wanted to be popular and accepted by the in crowd…But he was still a bully!
He was someone at the beginning of the show that did not take no for an answer….slamming kids into lockers…gay bashing…locking Artie in a port o potty…Slush facials…Dumpster diving nerds for no reason other than he could….He liked the power, the rush he got from being a bully….
On the show he slept with his best friend's girl got her knocked up and then went along with Finn being the father…Almost everyone, even forum posters on different boards, said that he took advantage of her, got her drunk on wine coolers and then "talked her into it"…Everyone felt sorry for Quinn and Finn…Puck was the bad guy…I had a problem with that because she went to him….It takes two to tango…
So why is my story so off then? Because he used force, because she freaked out? Because she fell in love with him later…Because he fell in love with her? The story is far from being over with more revelations coming about Callie and about Puck….
As far as the police….The rape was a year prior…No physical evidence…Just her word against his with a party full of people that watched her agree to go to the loft….Even her best friend only heard what she thought happened…She had also been drinking and she did not actually see what happened….
Most guys would get maybe six months in county jail and to learn more criminal ways…Sending a kid to prison, especially one like Puck, would not help him….It would not help Callie or the baby….They would become another statistic on a piece of paper somewhere…
Her father got the type of justice most would want, to kick the punk's ass, to hurt him…To let him know if he ever hurt his baby again that he would kill him…..
The only people that Puck has admitted anything to are Sue, Bieste, Finn, Kurt, and Artie…
And guys will stick together….Just like girls will…These guys know that what Puck did was totally wrong, but they also know him enough to realize that he was not himself that night, that somethng went wrong with PUCK….And that he fell in love with the girl he took advantage of…They as kids realize something…
We all make mistakes….We are human and when we are kids we have the opportunity to make it right before we screw up our lives any worse….
You can hate what someone has done and still not hate the actual person….
Bieste and Sue heard the whole thing that morning….They heard the love, they heard the hate in their voices…Both of these educators feel if they can get these two kids through this mess without fucking up their lives anymore then great….
To me these two characters on the show are believable….Shue is not believable in my opinion…He acts worse than the kids on the show….He brings his personal life to his students and that is a big NO NO…
Sue and Bieste also know there is a baby involved and that baby is going to need both if its parents….Sue knows this from raising her older sister….
Is the way I write them a little far fetched? Not to me….I grew up inner city in a school that had racial problems, gang wars, teenage pregnancies left and right, gay couples….Gay bashing…Interracial couples(I live in the south)..Glee to me is a picnic of a show to a certain extent...They only show Gleeks and Jocks, not the rest of the heirarchy of the school...The Ag boys, the stoners, the preppies...There is so much missing in my opinion...
And we did have teachers that gave a crap, that tried to help the students, but realistically tried to help them….Coaches would help find the jocks in trouble jobs, places to live, and most of all they had their backs no matter what…They never condoned what the jocks did wrong, but neither did they try to crucify them either…They just tried to help them the best way they knew how….
I had a couple of girlfriends in high school that this did happen to…They didn't get pregnant, but both were "talked into sex"….Drinking and drugs were involved, they were too messed up to fight back…Doesn't change what happened to them, but what does change is that both girls ended up with those guys as boyfriends later on in school…
They didn't condone what happened to them but they both knew that they had a choice before the first drink or the first hit of a joint not to become intoxicated…They had a choice and they made the wrong one…The guys had choices but again they chose wrong…
So you can read my story or not….Its up to you the reader….Remember that romantic love is in books, real life love is through a rough foundation that you build upon…Mistakes and all….Peace
