Plot: Puck has a problem: he's in love with his best friend's girlfriend. Sam doesn't treat her right and he couldn't help but think she deserves better.

Could the feelings become mutual?

Chapter 1

"Noah! Get up or you'll be late. And I'm not writing another excuse note," Puck heard his mom call from downstairs.

He groaned and reluctantly got up to get ready for school. When he was dressed, he went downstairs to find his mom making breakfast and his brother and sister at the table. As he sat down to join them, Maria put a plate of food in front of him.

"Eat," she said. "You have practice today and I don't want you to get dehydrated."

He looked at his brother. "You didn't force Jake to eat anything and he's on the team too. What would his mom think if she knew you were starving him?"

"I already ate," Jake smirked.

Maria rolled her eyes. "Please Noah do you honestly think his mother would've let him stay with us if she thought I was going to neglect him? Now stop mouthing off and eat."

Puck shrugged and began to eat. When they had first found out about Jake's existence from a one night stand between his father and a random waitress, everyone could tell Maria was crushed. It was already bad enough that his dad had betrayed her and left Puck and his sister but he also left another kid who would have no idea who his dad was. Puck wanted to get to know Jake so he began to hang out with him.

When they found out that Jake's mom had to move home to Cleveland to take care of her mother, Puck convinced Maria to let Jake stay with them so he wouldn't have to move away from them. After Maria and Jake's mom had a long talk, Jake's mom consented to him living with the family. While it took some adjusting for everyone, eventually Jake became part of the family.

The doorbell rang and Maria went to open the door. "Oh good morning Sam. Come on in."

"Morning Mrs. Puckerman," he said as he walked in.

Puck looked at him. "Wasn't expecting to see you this early."

"I'm having car trouble and my dad has an early meeting so I was hoping I could catch a ride with you guys instead of walking."

"Sure no problem."

"Speaking of which," Maria said. "You boys better get going. Have a good day."

Puck and Jake got their backpacks and left. When they got to school, they went to their lockers. As they stood there, Sam looked at Puck.

"So are we still playing video games at your house after practice?" he asked.

Puck glanced at him. "I thought you were supposed to be hanging out with Rachel at her house?"

"No not today. All we ever do when we go is watch movies or I have to listen to her sing. And then when we actually do make out she doesn't let me touch her boobs. It's crazy."

Jake laughed. "You sure she's even into you?"

Sam waved him off. "Please, I see her face when I'm on the football field. She's crazy about me that's for sure. But I don't know if I'll keep staying with her if I don't get anything out of it."

Puck stayed quiet for the rest of the conversation. Sometimes he wanted to tell Sam off for the way he thought when it came to Rachel. It was like he just used her for convenience, not as if she was a girl that he really wanted to be with. But he knew he couldn't say anything so he grabbed his textbook as the bell rang and went to class.

When their free period came, Puck walked through the halls trying to find something to do for the next hour. While he walked, he heard a piano being played and walked towards the sound. He eventually came to the choir room and found Rachel inside playing the piano and humming to herself. He smiled to himself as he watched her. He never knew she could play so well and listening to her made him impressed.

"Puck," a voice said, scaring him. He looked and saw it was Finn. "You okay dude?"

He quickly nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. What's up?"

"A few of us are going to hang out in the gym for free period. Want to come?"

"Yeah I'll meet you there."

Finn nodded and walked away as Puck turned back to watch Rachel. As she finished, he slowly walked in.

She looked up at him and smiled. "Oh hey Puck."

"Hey. Spending free period practicing?"

"Yeah I just like to come in here sometimes and just play. I don't really have anyone to spend the period with so I just come here."

"What about Sam?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer.

"He likes to use it to be with his friends. Plus I know he doesn't like to just sit and listen to me play. He gets bored pretty easily."

"And that's okay with you?"

She shrugged. "I mean I'm not thrilled about it but relationships are about compromise so as long as he comes over after school it doesn't bother me. But speaking of free period plans shouldn't you be with him?"

Suddenly remembering the plans Finn told him about, Puck nodded. "Yeah I just remembered we did have plans. But I thought I'd-"

"Hey babe," Sam said, walking into the room and giving Rachel a kiss. "I thought I'd find you in here." He looked at Puck. "What are you doing here?"

"I just heard Rachel playing and it caught my attention. She's pretty good."

"Yeah she's okay," Sam replied dismissively.

Puck bit his lip to prevent him from speaking up as Rachel looked at Sam. "I thought you were hanging out with your friends?"

"Well I'm not going to be able to make it after school because my mom wants me to do chores so I thought we could hang out now."

Rachel's smile faltered at hearing that Sam wasn't coming after school but she nodded. "Okay sure." She looked at Puck. "See you around Puck."

He nodded as they walked out. More than likely Sam was going to take Rachel behind the bleachers to make out with her instead of actually talking to her. Puck just hated how Sam couldn't tell that she was disappointed about him not coming after school. It was like he didn't even know his own girlfriend. Puck didn't know what Rachel saw in Sam but he knew he was biased because of his feelings for her. All he knew was that it sucked to like someone who wasn't available in any way.

Let me know your thoughts :)
