"You... you what?" asked Puck, still shocked. "I mean, wow."
"Promise you won't tell anything to anyone. Nobody else knows this. Promise it."
"I promise." he said. "But if we want them, we must do something. Now. I don't think Finn will leave Quinn so easily."
"No. I know. I had no time to think about it, but I'm sure we will figure some way to date them. I'm so glad I am not the only one who likes someone taken."
"Most of the people here do. It's normal stuff, since almost everybody is dating." he half-smiled
"Except for me." Rachel sighed.
"And me." Puck smiled as he was trying to say something. "Any ideas?"
"No, definitely not." Rachel knew what this whole story was about. "We'll have to look for another solution."
"Don't talk to me that way. I don't like you either, uh. I've been thinking a lot and I couldn't find any solution, until, well... you appeared." he blushed.
"Well, now I'm busy. But maybe in the afternoon you can give me a call so you can come over and maybe we'll find something to do at the party?"
"Sure." he said, giving the flowers to her. "As I'm not going to declare here, at least I want the flowers to be with someone special.
"And why do you think I'm special?" her cheeks were getting redder
"Because you are in our 'group'. And being part of something special makes you special."
"Thanks, Puck." Rachel smiled.
"For what?"
"For everything" she said as she walked headed to the door. She had some things to fix with a friend in her house.
"So. Rachel. I need you to promise you won't tell this. Not to Quinn, not to Puck, not to Finn-" Rachel blushed at hearing her crush's name "- not to anybody."
"I promise, San. I've never told anything you told me." it seemed like nothing had happened between them. Like she never lied to Rachel, and like they never dated the same guy.
"Well, I'm... dating Brittany." she whispered.
"Oh, my Gosh, San! I am so happy for you!" Rachel grinned.
"Thanks." she blushed. "I don't blame her for our argument, but she told me that I should protect my reputation, and I guess love can make you blind."
"I don't blame you, and I don't blame Brittany either. I am glad you told me the truth." Rachel glared at the clock. It was already 1. She had agreed to call Puck at 2:30. "So, how long have you been dating?"
"Not much. But I've, you know, liked girls for a long time." she seemed embarrassed to admit it. "Even when I dated Jesse."
After talking about an hour more, they agreed to talk tomorrow at school. Rachel had told her everything about what happened earlier that day, even her crush with Finn. They promised they will never hide anything from the other. By the time Santana left, it was nearly 2, so Rachel decided she would take a shower before calling Puck. She needs to clear some ideas in her head, and warm showers always helped her.
As she entered the warm water, she immediately relaxed. She liked taking showers, not only because she could think clearly, because it was the only place where she could sing, and be herself. She had always loved to sing, but she was too afraid to join the Glee club, because she saw how football and hockey players slushied the club members. She sat next to a Glee club member in Literature and she saw some rests of a slushie in her shirt.
When she realized she was wasting her time thinking of nonsense things, she went back to Finn. Finn. Finn. Finn. Oh, and there was Quinn next to him, screwing everything. Quinn had something that Rachel didn't like that much. And it wasn't her boyfriend, it was something else. Like she was fake, or that she hid something. Rachel thought that perhaps, if she discovered what she was hiding, Finn would dump her. Anyway, maybe Quinn wasn't hiding anything and they had to think of a back-up plan, just in case, because nothing was confirmed yet.
She was already dry, and dressed when she remembered she hadn't call Puckerman. Ironic, uh? A whole shower thinking about it, and then she just forgot. After trying twice, Puck finally answered her.
"Rachel." he sounded worried, or like he was going to tell bad news. "You need to come to Finn's house, there's something more important than our plan we three need to talk about." and he hung.
She grabbed her coat, just in case it would be cold outside. Rachel's prediction was right, and she had to put it on. She luckily saw a taxi passing by, so she took it. And she figured she didn't have Finn's address, so she remember Finn's flat was about ten blocks away from school, so she just gave the taxi driver the school's direction, and when she was already there, it was easy to make it to Finn's apartment.
"Rachel, I'm so glad you are here!" Puck cried in relief. "There's something important we need to talk about."
Rachel's heart stopped. Did Puck tell Finn? "W... what's wrong?" she mumbled.
"When will you planning to tell us about Jesse?" he seemed angry.
"I... I'm sorry if you didn't want to-" Finn began
"No. There's no problem, don't worry. I just-" Rachel bursted in tears "-it's really hard for me."
"There's no need to cry." Puck hugged her. "In fact, we have a surpirse for you. I know that what we'll do won't change anything that Jesse did to you. But hopefully it will make you feel better."
"Wh- what surprise?"
"My dad's a cop. If you wish, we can talk to me and he'll help you find a solution. Of course that, with your agreement, the policemen will find Jesse, and put him in jail. He did terrible things to you, and he deserves to be a prisoner." Finn half-smiled. He wasn't sure if those were good or bad news to Rachel. "And yes, we have to do this." he added before Rachel could say anything.
"Guys, I can't even thank you enough for being so supportive after you've known me for just 6 hours. But I don't want to put Jesse into jail. I want something more like a personal revenge. I don't know if you get me."
(A/N): With all this Finchel and Quick I've totally forgot about Jesse, whoops, so I brought him again although I hate him -.- I would really like if you'd leave a review. If I get a considerable amount of reviews today, I'll double update today ;) yes, I'm bribing you lol.
