Never Forgotten Past
Last Time: Puck and Grace moved into the Hudson-Hummel household and were welcomed with open arms. Puck doesn't think they're ever going back. Burt and Carole really need a new house. And that's what you missed last time on Never Forgotten Past.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any songs that I may put in here.
Be My Valentine
Puck's Point of View
"I missed you," Sarah whispered in my ear before sitting next to me in Spanish.
"What are you talking about?" I laughed, "We woke up next to each other, had breakfast with each other, drove here together, that was just an hour ago. We've done this since Tuesday and today is Friday."
"Well, now that we're living together," Sarah said quietly, "I can't help but miss you even more."
"I would think it's the opposite, that you would get tired of me," I smiled.
Sarah rolled her big blue eyes, "I love you, which reminds me, what do you want to do for Valentine's Day next Tuesday?" her hand made it's way up my thigh and I smiled down at her.
"Aren't we going to Sugar's party?" I asked, going back to what Sugar announced yesterday in glee.
"Well, sure, but I mean, can't we do something else just the two of us?" Sarah asked quietly as her hand rubbed back and forth.
I grabbed it before anything could happen since it is school, not that I would care, but Sarah eventually would, "Sure, whatever you want."
Sarah smiled, "Thank you," she whispered before giving me a quick kiss, "Maybe Sunday?"
I nodded and leaned down to try and get another one, but Mr. Martinez walked in, "Ok, class, who wants to go first?"
Everyone looked around, no one wanting to present our Spanish projects first.
"How about you, Sarah?" he asked.
Sarah glanced at me and took a deep breath, "Ok," she stood up and grabbed her flashcards as she made her way to the front of the classroom.
I couldn't help but let my mind wander to her swinging hips and bouncing curls while she walked down the aisle to the front white board. Sarah turned and caught me staring, so she sent me a quick smile before nodding at Mr. Martinez to say she was ready. He nodded back and Sarah turned to the class.
"I did my report on Peru," Sarah said, "Which is..." she turned and reached towards the map hanging from the wall and tried to pull it down. She wasn't quite tall enough so she had to jump, causing her shirt to ride up on her stomach and back, sending my mind in overload. The last time I saw that much of her midsection was Saturday night at the river bank.
I zoned out and started thinking about that night. It really was amazing. Sarah continued to talk, but all I heard coming from her mouth was everything she said to me our last night out.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
The bell rang and everyone gathered their books.
"Noah, can you stay after for a second?" Mr. Martinez called across the room.
Sarah gave me a sympathetic look then walked past me and into the hallway.
"Yeah?" I asked as I made my way to Mr. Martinez's desk.
"I couldn't help but notice that you were pretty distracted durning Sarah's presentation earlier," he stated.
"Don't worry, she's my girlfriend. She actually caught the staring at the beginning, but then my mind drifted," I told him while leaning back on a desk.
"So, do I have to move you then so you two can focus in class?" I couldn't help but see a small smirk on his face.
"No," I shook my head, "Sarah's the only person keeping me sane in this class, Spanish isn't my strong suit."
"I understand," Mr. Martinez nodded with a smile, "Your girl means a lot to you and you want to keep her close so no one else can take her."
Man, this guy was good, but I didn't want to come off as a jerk, so I just looked away.
"What are you planning on doing for Valentine's Day?"
The question surprised me, "Um, we're doing something Sunday then going to a party on the actual day."
Mr. Martinez nodded, "Are you getting her anything?"
"Probably a charm for the bracelet I got her on Christmas or a necklace and some flowers."
"That's nice, but it kind of surprises me," I looked up at my teacher, "I would think you would sing her a song since you're in glee club."
"I never really thought of that," I said quietly.
"Just something to toss around," Mr. Martinez smiled before going behind his desk. He wrote something down a yellow piece of paper, "So you won't be late," he handed it to me.
"Thanks," I nodded even though I didn't plan on going to math or whatever I had third hour.
I started heading out the door when Mr. Martinez stopped me, "Noah, I will know whether or not you actually go to class."
I rolled my eyes and turned around, "Ok, I'll go to class," I turned to go in the hallway, but stopped when I realized something, "Puck, call me Puck," I said to Mr. Martinez.
"Fine by me," Mr. Martinez smiled.
I started walking to my locker, but saw Quinn come out from a nearby bathroom.
"Hey, Quinn, hold up!" I called while hurrying to catch up to her.
Quinn turned and waited as I walked down the empty hallway, "I really should be getting back to class Puck."
"Yeah, whatever, anyways, I need a favor," I told her.
Quinn rolled her eyes, "And what is that?"
"Can your God group sing a song to Sarah today in lunch?"
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I felt a pat on my shoulder and winced at the pressure, but turned away from the lunch menu.
"We're going to...you know," Sam nodded towards where Sarah was sitting with Rachel, Finn, and Kurt.
"Thanks," I smiled as I stepped out of line and walked over to the wall where I could watch it all happen.
"Miss Hudson?" Mercedes asked to Sarah's back.
Sarah turned, "Yeah?"
"We have a little something for you," Quinn said with a smile.
Sarah's face went red, but she nodded.
Sam and Joe started playing their guitars and our area of the room went quiet.
(Quinn, Mercedes, Sam, Joe,All)
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone,
Or anything
I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life,
with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do,
Baby I'm amazed by you.
The smell of your skin,
The taste of your kiss,
The way you whisper in the dark.
Your hair all around me,
Baby you surround me
Touch every place in my heart
And it feels like the first time
Every time.
I want to spend the whole night
In your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life,
with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do,
Baby I'm amazed by you.
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life,
with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do,
Baby I'm amazed by you.
"Love always, Noah," Quinn smiled at Sarah.
Sarah nodded and grinned as she searched the lunch room for me. When I finally caught her eye, she smiled and slowly stood up. I stood away from the wall and waited for her to get to me. After a second, Sarah was standing within inches of me.
"I love you too," she whispered before grabbing me around the waist and burying her head in my chest.
I smiled and looked down at her, "I mean every word."
Sarah nodded and backed away before standing on her tip toes and pulling my head down so my lips could meet hers.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
After lunch, Sarah and I wouldn't see each other until glee, but she did keep texting me, something that gave me warnings in every class for the rest of the day. I walked in the choir room to see Sarah talking to Mercedes and Kurt.
"Hey," I said softly as I sat down next to her.
"Hey," she smiled at me before turning back to our friends.
I twisted the strings on her ice blue shirt sleeve as I waited for her to finish. After a few minutes, Sarah turned back towards me.
"I couldn't stop thinking about that song today," she said while reaching up and playing with my hair.
"Really? I didn't know even though you did text it to me every single hour after lunch," I pointed out.
Sarah giggled and fell into my side.
"Ok, let's get started!" Mr. Schue announced as he walked in the room.
Rachel and Finn stood up, holding hands, "Actually, Finn and I would like to say something first."
Mr. Schue gestured towards the front and walked to sit down on one of the chairs.
"Alright, well, we'll just come out and say it," Finn started, "We're getting married!"
Everyone was quiet as we stared at the 'happy couple.'
"When's the baby due?" I finally asked.
"Puck," Sarah scolded before turning back to her brother and his girlfriend, "You're what?" she asked.
"Getting married," Finn replied.
"Do I get to be the maid of honor?"
I chuckled, of course that's all Sarah was thinking right now.
"Don't you want to be the best man?" Sarah asked me.
I glanced towards Finn and Rachel, "Well, yeah, but still, it's their wedding, you can't plan it."
"If I'm the maid of honor I can."
"It's up to Rachel," Finn said.
"I think you guys are great together, really, but I don't think it's right for you to get married," Quinn said.
"I'm sorry Quinn, but this is what we want and if you don't support it," Rachel took a breath, "Then you can't come to the wedding."
Finn turned towards her looking confused, but ended up just nodding along.
"And Mr. Schue, your plan to tell our parents was nice and all, but it's not changing how we feel," Rachel added.
"I didn't...," Mr. Schue started to mutter.
"It was me," Kurt said.
Finn kind of looked hurt, "Dude."
"I don't think it's a good idea," Kurt reasoned, "I'm sorry, but it needed to be done."
"Mike and I will be there," Tina said.
Rachel smiled, "Thank you."
"I wouldn't mind being a bridesmaid either," Tina smiled back.
Artie rolled to the front next to Finn, "Congrats you two, but I have something to say as well, so may you?"
"Ok," they both smiled at him.
"May you?" Artie asked again and pointed towards the chairs. The two got the hint and hurried to sit down, "I'm happy for you though," Artie added.
"This is for Ms. Sugar Motta," Artie smiled.
The music started and Artie started singing. The rest of us guys adding in when needed. Sarah's face was priceless as I walked up to dance with the rest of them.
As we danced behind Artie, the girls laughed and smiled, but all I had eyes for was Sarah. She was joining in with the other girls, her big blue eyes shining with happiness and joy at me.
After a minute, we sat down and let Artie finish the song by himself. He smiled at Sugar who made her way to him and sat on his lap so he could wheel her out.
"Wow, well, obviously Artie's idea worked," Mr. Schue laughed as he walked in front of us, "You guys are dismissed."
Sarah turned to me and kissed me full on the mouth, "You were so sexy," she whispered against my lips.
I chuckled, "Thank you."
Sarah grabbed my hand and pulled me up. We walked out the door, "I have to go pick something up at my locker then we can go home."
I nodded and followed her.
"Seriously, like where did that come from?" Sarah asked, "Really, it was amazing. Artie's so smart for singing that to Sugar."
Her words made my breathing stop. She liked that I was up there with the rest of them, singing to her, but she loved Artie for the idea.
"Sugar's really going to be treated well. Oh my gosh, that could be their wedding song!" Sarah didn't stop smiling and talking the whole time we were at her locker, "Artie looked so hot doing that in front of everyone, a wheel chair's not stopping him from getting the girl he loves."
Sarah was really impressed with Artie singing that song to Sugar, more impressed than when Quinn and those God people sang my song to her. I need to sing my own song to her.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I waited until Sarah had the blanket set up on the grass before going back to the truck to get my gifts. I slung my guitar over my shoulder, grabbed the flowers and red bag, and headed over to her.
Sarah looked up as I approached with a smile on her face, "You didn't have to get me anything."
I shrugged and smiled. I knew that if I didn't get her anything, I'd be on the couch for a week. I passed her the flowers and sat down, "I didn't know which kind to get you, but I thought these were pretty."
"Well, you're in luck because white daisies are my favorite," Sarah grinned and kissed me softly, "Thank you, they're beautiful."
"You're welcome," I smiled, "But they're not nearly as beautiful as you."
Sarah blushed and looked down at her red shirt and white skirt, "It's nothing," she said quietly while playing with her ponytail.
"No," I picked up her chin, "It's amazing and beautiful and pretty and hot and-"
Sarah's lips cut me off, "Stop."
I chuckled, "Do you want your other gift?"
Sarah nodded, "Yes!"
"Here you go," I laughed as I handed her the bag.
I watched Sarah carefully pull out the small red box and open it. Her eyes widened before pulling out the long gold chain with the locket attached.
"Noah," she breathed.
I put my hand out and Sarah placed the jewelry in it. I gently opened up the locket, "This was my grandma's, I don't know which side, but it was for Grace for when she gets older. Instead of going to the store with me to pick out a charm for you, Grace said I could give you this."
Sarah nodded and peeked around my hands, "It's really beautiful."
"Look," I held it out, "I put something in here for you."
Sarah looked down at golden heart, "Is that us?"
"Yeah," I smiled.
Her hand covered mine as she grabbed the locket, "Oh my gosh, I remember when this was taken," referring to the one of us on one of our background campouts in our tent when I was probably eight and she was five or six.
"I cut Finn out, so I hope he doesn't mind," I said.
Sarah laughed, "Yeah, it's fine."
"And then, our first date, but you knew that," I said as my finger covered the other picture.
"Thank you," Sarah smiled before kissing me, "Now I feel bad because all I got you were some chocolate covered strawberries."
"I told you, I'm ok with that," I smiled back.
"I'll go get them then," Sarah moved to stand up.
"No, I can do it," I stood up and walked over to the truck where I saw Sarah put the black box.
When I came back, Sarah wasn't sitting on the blanket where I left her, instead her white sandals were with the box and locket. I set the strawberries down and looked around only to see her standing barefoot at the edge of the river. I chuckled and slipped off my own shoes and socks before making my way over to her as quietly as possible. Once behind her, I grabbed her around the waist and swung her around.
"Puck!" Sarah screamed.
"What? Do you not like that?" I laughed as I set her down.
"Ugh," Sarah looked down at the ground, but had a small smile on her face. Suddenly, she bent down and splashed water at me.
I gasped then kicked some water at her. Sarah screamed as the ice water hit her face. She started giggling before kicking water back at me, which I handed right back.
We continued for a few minutes before Sarah backed away a little, "Can we stop?" she shuddered.
"Yeah, sure," I walked a little closer and wrapped my arms around her, "You cold?"
Sarah rolled her eyes at me, but still smiled, "What do you think?"
I led her to the blanket and helped her sit down, "I'll go get my jacket for you."
Sarah nodded and wrapped her arms around her knees. I ran to the truck and grabbed out my varsity jacket and a sweatshirt that I think I leant to Grace a few days ago when she was cold.
"Which one?" I held out her two choices.
"Um, the jacket," Sarah said.
I passed it to her then sat down while pulling the sweatshirt over my head, "I have something else for you."
"Puck, you've given me so much already," Sarah whispered.
I just shrugged, "It's not really a present, so don't worry about it." I grabbed my guitar and put it over my shoulder, "I know I'm not going to dance or have a big backup group, but I think it'll mean the same kinda thing."
Sarah smiled and nodded.
I took a deep breath and started to play.
You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I'm not smart
You wrap your thoughts in works of art
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours
You healed these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You're the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went week and you saw me cry
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I'm yours
And though my edges may be rough
I never feel I'm quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I'm yours
I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don't fit in that much
But I'm yours
I finished with a deep breath. My eyes never left Sarah's the entire time. After a second, Sarah smiled.
"That was way better than any big dance number you guys could have done in glee club," she said softly.
I took my guitar off, "Really?"
"Mhmm," Sarah smiled as she moved closer to me, "It was really sweet. I'm sorry if I made it sound like I liked Artie's song was better than when the God Squad sang to me. I just thought it was really nice of him."
"No problem," I pulled her onto my lap, ignoring her slightly damp skirt, "I wouldn't mind you making it up to me though."
"And how would I do that?" Sarah smirked.
"How about...?" I leaned forward and caught her mouth on mine.
Sarah smiled and pushed all her weight against me.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Finn and I walked down the stairs to go to bed.
"You swear you didn't do anything tonight?" Finn asked again for probably the fourth time since Sarah and I came home 20 minutes ago.
"I swear, we just made out for a while, but really, I don't think Sarah will appreciate you asking me this," I groaned.
Finn nodded and walked over to his bed.
"Noah! Look!" Grace came running over at me from her bed where Kurt and Sarah were sitting.
"What?" I asked as I moved the sheets on the bed.
Grace stamped her foot and rolled her eyes, "Don't you see anything different about me?"
I stared at her, but she looked the same as always, so I just shrugged.
"My hair!" Grace pointed up at her head, "Kurt and Sarah braided my hair fancy so it would be even curlier tomorrow when I go to school."
"And do you remember what it's called?" Kurt asked as he walked over to his own bed.
"A...um...," Grace turned and looked at Sarah for a clue.
Sarah smiled, "Au revoir, bon jour..."
"I don't speak Spanish," Grace complained.
We all laughed, except for Finn, "Seriously Sarah, just give her a clue," he said.
I couldn't say anything though, because I didn't really know what Sarah said anyways.
"It's all French," Sarah added.
"French braid!" Grace shouted.
"There you go," Kurt smiled at my sister, "Now come on, back to bed, I'm tired and we have school tomorrow."
Grace gave me a quick hug before running over to her bed and climbing underneath the covers. I chuckled and slid underneath my own. Sarah made her way over to me and rolled into my side.
"Everyone ready?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah," replied four different voices.
Kurt shut off the light, "Goodnight."
"Goodnight Puck," Sarah whispered.
"Goodnight Sarah," I whispered back.
"I love you," she muttered against my chest.
"I love you too," I said quietly into her hair.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
A/N: A sort of 'To be continued,' since Sugar's party is next chapter. I hope I did the song ideas justice. I think this might actually be the longest chapter I've done yet, wow. The songs were Amazed by Lonestar and I'm Yours by The Script. Ok, I'm done talking for now, so PLEASE REVIEW with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions. I'm open to them all and love reading them!
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Ace5492 - Thank you!
() - Thanks! Sorry it wasn't on 'tomorrow,' but I hope today is good.
Midnight LeAnn- I know, but it's been on my mind and I just had to write it down. Thank you though!
TheAwkwardTurtle13- Thanks! And sorry if it was annoying, it was just for those last few chapters, I don't think it will happen again, at least for a while. I just figured someone would cry a lot going through all of that.
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
Sneak Peak: I felt anger flow through my veins, but I just smiled and nodded at Blaine before turning to Kurt. How dare he! I know this past week has been crazy, but Puck and Grace deserve more than this.
Sugar's party! And what's a party without a little fight?
