'Yay... Glee practice.' That was the only thought that went through Noah's mind as the last bell rang. It was Friday... Unfortunately, it was also his day to perform his loneliness song. He really had had a hard time finding a song. He just didn't do lonely. True, since Quinn had popped out her baby, nobody really payed any attention to him. Yesterday, he had tried to comfort Kurt after his performance, but he really didn't know why. He figured he was just that desperate for a friend. He hadn't thought much about it after Kurt had thanked him for the hug and gone home.

He shook his head as the jocks, and former friends, passed his locker. Karofsky decided that now would be a good time to be a bitch and shouldered Noah into the lockers. Hitting his head against his locker door, Noah cursed under his breath. Normally, he would have retaliated, but he just didn't feel like it. What would be the point anyways? Karofsky would have about ten other players to back him up in a matter of seconds and who would Noah have? Oh that right no one. At least that's what he thought.

"Hey, asshole! Watch where you're going. There are other people in the hallways you know." It was the bitchy voice of Kurt Hummel that rang out among the hall. Noah turned to look at the kid and saw Kurt smile at him nicely before grabbing the choir room door handle and running in. Noah shook his head, he could feel a slight headache already settling in, before grabbing his bag and heading into the room after the kid.

Shuester showed up about five minutes later and called the room to order. He looked up at Noah and gave him the look. Noah sighed and walked up to the front. He whispered to Brad what song he would be singing and Brad nearly fell out of his chair laughing. One glare from Noah though had the piano player back on the bench holding back the laughter.

He walked to the center of the choir room and stared down at his shoes. "So I had a lot of trouble trying to find a song for this topic. Eventually I just asked my little sister for help. She kinda got this really evil look on her face when she gave me the song... Anyways, this song is called 'Everytime' by," he took a deep breathe, "Brittney Spears." He listened as the slight giggles and laughs went through out his fellow gleeclubbers. Without trying to embarrass himself much longer, he cued Brad to start playing.. The soft piano filled the room and Noah took his stage.

Notice me, take my hand

Why are we strangers when

Our love is strong

Why carry on without me

He sighed. This song was just way to depressing. Plus, his voice just didn't do the depression justice. The noticeable difference in Brittney and his voices just made the song seem a little to off.

Everytime I try to fly, I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And everytime I see you in my dreams

I see your face, it's haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

He drew in a deep breath and slowly let it out in the small instrumental he had. He thought back to yesterday where he comforted Kurt. Looking at the boy now, it seemed like he was trying to comfort Noah.

I make believe that you are here

It's the only way I see clear

What have I done

You seem to move on easy

The second verse always got to Noah. It seemed to describe his relationship with Quinn before the pregnancy, his father during Quinn's pregnancy, and Finn after the babygate scandal. He choked back tears as he thought about all the pass relationships he had fucked up.

And everytime I try to fly, I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, baby

And everytime I see you in my dreams

I see your face, you're haunting me

I guess I need you, baby

He ended it there and felt the tears streaming down his face. This was ridiculous! He was Noah 'Puck' Puckerman. He didn't cry at Brittney Spears songs, he laughed at her. Fuck this song. Fuck this assignment. Fuck Quinn, his father, and Finn. Fuck-

He felt a small pair of arms wrap around him and hold him tightly. He broke down on the shoulder of one Kurt Hummel. He heard the soft 'Shhhh' and 'It's okay' being repeated over and over again. Noah mumbled something into the soft fabric of Kurt's shirt.

Kurt responded with a line that was becoming the basis of their friendship. "Because, even you deserve to be noticed."
