Rachel's POV
Still in shock, I kept walking. Puck lived in the top floor, so once we were in, the whole scene at the elevator was pretty awkward. Finn grinned at me, without knowing I knew he, well... liked me? And Puck winked at me, trying to say he had something important to tell me. Of course he didn't know I knew.
"So, what about Puck ordering the pizza while I go to the bathroom?" Finn said "Sorry, but I really need to go" he added after he saw Puck glaring at him.
"Deal." I smiled.
As soon as Puck opened the door, Finn rushed to the bathroom and I couldn't help but widen my eyes. Puck's apartment was huge, and beautiful. As beautiful as my house, but his was much bigger. Everything was pretty clean, except some typical teenager stuff.
"So, you live alone?" I asked.
"Yea... well, someone comes to see if I'm fine twice a week, but it's technically mine, yes."
"It's really n..." I couldn't finish complimenting Puck's house, when he whispered:
"Look. You must promise not to tell anyone, but, remember you told me you liked Finn?" he didn't let me even answer; "Well, the feeling is mutual. He, um, likes you too."
"You must be kidding!" I jumped, trying to look surprised.
"No, I'm not. But don't you dare telling Finn I told you, ok?" he warned.
"Okay, okay. No need to be rude, Mr. Badass." I teased and he laughed. I laughed too, because I was happy to have them. Oh, and because Puck's laughter was contagious.
"So, what did I miss?" Finn entered the living room, and watching us both laughing like fools.
"Not much. We couldn't order because this little princess only likes fish pizza. Who orders fish in pizza? It's disgusting!" Puck exclaimed
"Well, I do. And let me say, fish tastes delicious in pizza. Even tastier than in sushi. Have you ever eaten fish pizza?" I asked, proud of myself for standing up.
"Well, I've never tried it." Puck admitted it, embarrassed.
"Let's try it then." Finn entered the scene "I mean, what is the worst than can happen? I don't really think vomiting the pizza, maybe just spitting it, maybe." he half-smiled.
"Thank you," I pointed at Finn "See? Someone does care about fish in pizza." I said in Puck's face while he waited for the person at the pizza place to answer. He raised his middle finger at me, joking of course.
Someone finally answered him and I got what I wanted; he ordered a big fish pizza, and a small ham one, just in case he ended up puking. He announced they were going to come in half an hour, so we started to talk about weird and funny revenges to Jesse. They were all very weird and cruel, but I knew we were joking. While we were laughing about one that Puck proposed, my phone buzzed. It was a message from Quinn; "You three are still invited for tonight's party at 9. Bring something to drink :) XOXO, Quinn."
"What?" Finn asked, confused, after I finished reading the message "I broke-up with her today, and she's inviting me to her party? Woah, she's crazy. I'm not going."
"I'm going. We're skipping classes, so why not? Besides, it will be fun. You know how Quinn's parties are..." Puck told him. "Rachel? Are you coming?" he asked while he looked my right in the eyes.
I wasn't able to even open my mouth, when the bell rang. Pizza, I thought. Puck grabbed his wallet and took some money out of it before he opened the door, revealing a very well-known face for me...
(3rd person - no one's POV.)
Rachel's face went totally pale when she saw the delivery boy's face. It was him, the unnamable, the liar, the cheater, the life ruiner. It was him; Jesse St. James. Rachel screamed, making her two friends look at her, worried.
She was able to hide her face in her hands before he saw her face. She decided it was better not. She didn't want to talk to him yet. Not ever.
"What's wrong?" Puck asked and look at Finn. They didn't know what was going on. She pointed at Jesse.
"Do you know him?" Finn asked, and glared at the man standing in the door, with two boxes of pizza on his hands.
"He's Jesse!" she shouted and revealed her face. She suddenly felt ready to confront him. She was with Finn and Puck, she was protected.
"Rachel?" Jesse asked and entered the house.
"You get your ass out of here, stupid dumbass." Finn stood up from the couch
"And who are you to tell me that?" Jesse laughed.
"Rachel's boyfriend." Finn said, and Rachel and Puck's mouths dropped. He was obviously lying, but it was good to feel that he'd say that if it's necessary. Jesse looked at them, surprised.
"Yes, he's my boyfriend. What, you're surprised? I don't blame you. I made such a huge mistake by dating you, Jesse. And Santana told me about your romance. But now I found someone who treats me the way I deserve to be treated. And I love him, so get the hell out of here." Rachel bravely said. And this time, Jesse's mouth dropped. Also Finn's.
"You know relationships like ours never end Rachel. Never." Jesse pronounced the same words as in Rachel's dream. He hit her right in the shoulder, took the money and left the pizza on the table. Rachel started crying like mad.
Finn hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Do you really feel like I treat you the way you deserve to be treated?" he whispered in her ear.
"Well," she blushed. "I do. But don't worry, I don't like you or anything." she acted, but Finn didn't believe her.
"I was wondering if you'd come to Quinn's party with me. You know, as a couple?" and now it was his turn to blush. He had chosen the right moment, while Puck was in the bathroom.
