Noah, Rachel, Both
Hope you enjoy… reviews welcome!
All she could see is red… red truck, red blood, red flashing lights. Her vision swirled and her stomach turned; she ran to the nearest bush to empty the contents of it. As she wiped her mouth with her shaking hands she looked down and saw that she was covered in blood; their blood. She struggled to get the sticky substance off of her clothes and could hear that someone had begun screaming. It wasn't until Finn wrapped his arms around her that she realized it was her. She collapsed into him and they both dropped to the asphalt.
'Why did they do this Finn… why did they have to do this… why did I have to drive by… why?'
'I don't know Santana… I don't know.'
Puck walked slowly down the stairs of the Temple. His sister had run ahead, in a hurry to see her friends, and his mother was too busy gossiping with one of her lady friends to pay attention to him. It was the usual routine. He would drag himself out of bed on Saturday mornings, pretend to be the 'perfect Jewish son' and try not to fall asleep during Worship, then he'd have to stand around by himself for the next two hours while everyone socialized while eating crappy bagels and drinking terrible coffee. As he took the final step, a familiar voice caught his attention.
'Noah, I highly recommend you-' Rachel Berry started but was quickly interrupted by his mother and their Rabbi.
'Noah, Rabbi Abraham has a question for you.' His mother said giving him that 'you do whatever he asks or you will never see the light of day again' face.
'Yes sir?' Puck asked politely.
'Well Mr. Puckerman, I have heard through the grape vine that you are a very talented musician. I have decided that our Temple could use a youthful facelift and I thought that a young choir could help with that. Unfortunately, there are only three of you in high school and Mr. Ben-Israel is not legally allowed to be within 30ft of Miss Berry, which leaves just you and her. This means more work for the two of you but I think it would be worth it. What do you say Noah? Will you join Miss Berry and be the musical stars of our Temple?' Noah knew he was screwed. There was no way he would survive the wrath of his mom if he told his Rabbi 'no' so he had no choice.
'Sure Rabbi Abraham, I'll do it' he faked a smile that he was sure looked like a grimace, turned and walked back upstairs to go sit in his mom's car. He had just slammed the passenger door shut when he heard Rachel calling his name. He groaned and re-opened the door.
'Thanks for throwing me under the bus Berry!' he yelled gruffly at the girl walking up.
'Throw you under the bus? I'm offended Noah! I tried to warn you before the Rabbi got to you! That's what I was trying to tell you when they walked up! Jacob was the one who suggested you join me!' she yelled.
'Oh, my bad; I'm just agitated. Come get in.' he said motioning to the drivers side door. She walked around the car and got in.
'I can't believe this Noah. I don't have time to do this, nor do I want to.' She huffed.
'You're telling me, between homework, football, and Glee I barely have time to freaking sleep. I promised my Ma I would try hard in school this year and I raised my GPA a ton, but I have too much shit to do. Shue's two assignments a week PLUS the duet assignment every two weeks is ridiculous. I know he wants us to win this year, and I think we will, but Jesus, all I do is sing, eat, and sleep. It's like the musical fucking army.'
'I'm pretty sure that's the most you've ever said in one continuous statement Noah,' she laughed and he chuckled. 'But you're absolutely right. I had to drop out of my contemporary dance class and start doing homework BEFORE school just to keep up. Now we'll have to learn a whole set of songs and try and arrange our schedules for the performances. Rabbi was already rambling about Bat Mitzvahs and other special occasions. I forgot my own birthday this year!' Rachel said.
'You forgot your birthday? When was it?' Puck asked.
'Yesterday actually, I didn't remember until my dad's interrupted my attempts at learning my song for Monday's practice, to ask me where I wanted to go to celebrate. I had to decline!' Puck didn't say a word, just pulled out his cell phone and dialed his mom's number.
'Hey Ma, Rachel and I are going to hang out today so I'll be home around 6… Thanks Ma, love you too.' Rachel looked at him with wide eyes as he hung up.
'Text your dads and tell them you'll be home around six. We're going to celebrate your day in true over-stressed, too many things to do, teenage fashion.' He smiled.
'And what does that entail?' she asked nervously.
'We are going to chill in the park learning our songs for Glee, grab a bite to eat when we're hungry, and then do our homework. I may even buy that lunch and if you're really productive, a birthday muffin.' He smiled.
'You don't have to do that Noah.' She returned the smile.
'Hey, I do what I want, now, text your dad's so we can roll out.'
'K!' she said excitedly.
They walked to Puck's house first so he could change into shorts and flip flops, grab his guitar and his books of sheet music, and his truck. He then drove Rachel to hers so she could change; grab HER books of sheet music, and her Ipod.
'Did you eat a bagel?' Noah asked as they pulled out of her driveway.
'No way, the ones they serve are disgusting.' He laughed when she wrinkled her nose in disgust.
'Good, want to hit up the Waffle House?' he asked.
'Yes, I know it's not the best breakfast location but I can't resist smothered potatoes!' They both chuckled.
They had a quick breakfast and headed for the park. It was a nice day in September. Not too hot, not too cold. They found a huge tree and parked themselves under it.
'So how are we going to do this B? Finn will totally punch my face in if he finds out we are going to spend all this time together.'
'I was thinking about that. It's weird, I should care more considering what it took to snag him as a boyfriend but I don't.' She shrugged. 'I think him forgetting it was my birthday yesterday really didn't help matters.'
'But YOU forgot your birthday yesterday.' He countered.
'I know, but I didn't have a calendar with the date circled in gold glitter and stars; he did. See, when you and I dated, I didn't have to give you a calendar with our dates outlined or my birthday circled. I trusted you enough to remember the important things. With Finn I knew it would be different, I knew he would mess up. So I gave him a calendar to save myself the hurt; but obviously it didn't help. Not only that but I text him this morning and told him that I had forgotten my birthday hoping he would get the hint. Instead he just sent me a text that said 'That sucks! I hate when I forget my birthday!' and that was that.'
'He's an idiot B. I mean, I don't want to say that I'm any better because I'm not stupid, I fuck up A LOT. But it's really bad when you give him that much information and he still doesn't get it.'
'Exactly! I really don't ask a lot from him. I asked more from you in the three days we were together than I ever have from him. But let's not talk about it anymore! Today is about having a good time and getting shit done. We'll deal with Finn later.'
'Sounds good Berry; what song are you going to sing on Monday?'
'I don't know, and to be honest, I can't for the life of me remember what the assignment is.' She said shyly. Puck's eyes went large.
'You don't?'
'No… I'm pretty sure I was working on Calculus homework when he told us.' She shrugged.
'That happened to me last week. Luckily Kurt paid attention and gave me the info when I went to play Halo at Finn's. This week's topic is 'singing outside the box.' He said to sing a song that is different from your usual choices or a song that pushed boundaries. I have no clue what to do.'
'Want to really push people's boundaries?' she asked with a wicked grin.
'You know I do, I'm the Puckster, remember?'
'That's what I thought… now here's my plan…'
They walked into Glee on Monday separately. Rachel sat in her usual seat in the front row and Puck took his place in back.
'Good afternoon guys, anyone ready to perform?'
Rachel's hand shot up and everyone groaned.
'Alright Rachel, let's see what you've got.' She walked to the front of the room.
'My performance comes with a few disclaimers. Today's assignment is about 'singing outside the box' and in the process it will probably upset some of you; so please do not pass judgment on what you're going to see, it is strictly a show. Secondly, there will be foul language used. Please head to the auditorium and I will be there shortly.' The kids got up to head out, most of them looking annoyed. Puck followed along, further behind the group but snuck into the dressing room before anyone could see him. Rachel left last and went directly to the girl's dressing room to change. They had set the stage during lunch so that everything would be ready. When they were finished getting ready, Puck took his spot off stage, he didn't really have to change much, just put on a white wife beater and his large gray hoody. Rachel on the other hand now dawned a black sparkly cropped tank top, skin tight black shorts, a black studded hoody, red short fingerless glove, black high heels, and her hair pulled together in a rough bun. The curtain was down so she took her place in the middle of the stage. As the curtain opened the audience of Glee Clubbers could see the set, Puck and Rachel had created what looked like the inside of a crack house (Puck's words). She could see the curious faces and of course, Finn's glazed over eyes and sloppy grin. The music began and she could see everyone realize what song she was about to perform. She noticed Santana look around and then smile, realizing that Puck was going to do the male portion. No one else seemed to notice his absence.
Rachel's voice floated hauntingly through the auditorium as she began.

ilovethewayyouliePuck made his entrance from the side, surprising the club. He walks on angrily, his hood pulled over his head. They face each other and mock fight as he raps his lines.

Rachel turns away from him and faces the audience as she belts the chorus. Puck still mimics fighting as he circles around her mouthing an argument.

Puck wrapped his arms around her as she faced the audience again for the chorus. He showed the 'love' aspect of the song as she looked out at the audience with pure hopelessness. Just

He finally grabbed Rachel and they melded together, moving in sync with each other showing the addiction they had for their volatile relationship. They finished the chorus together.

Before their classmates could cheer, Rachel took center stage to address them…
'This was my answer to the assignment, if you can bear with us for just a moment, we'll be back with Noah's.' She exited quickly to go change and the curtain closed behind her. The Theatre Club kids quickly got started breaking down the previous set and setting up their new one. Puck changed into a pair of his dark wash Wrangler jeans, his dusty black cowboy boots, a crisp black button up shirt, sleeves rolled up, and his faded black cowboy hat. Rachel changed into a pair of black cut off shorts, a pink Budweiser tank top, and her faded black cowboy boots. One of the theatre kids came and let them know the stage was set so they walked out to take their places. Puck and Rachel lucked out with this set. They had to beg the theatre department to let them drive Puck's truck onto the stage. The stage was built for it so it was allowed. The teens sat on the tailgate of the red Chevy as the curtains opened, Rachel held an empty beer bottle in her hand and Puck began to strum his guitar.

It was a simple performance; which was the point for them. Their audience clapped as they hopped off the truck and bowed.
'Okay, Rachel, please explain your performance first and then Puck can discuss his.' Mr. Shue instructed.
'So Saturday Noah and I were hanging out and trying to figure out what we were going to perform. We wrote down a list of all of the things that we normally lean to. For me it is happy, upbeat songs, show tunes, or big powerful ballads and I always have the lead. So, to sing outside the box I chose a song that was more provocative, dark and filled with angst. Noah suggested that we do it as a duet so that I could give up the lead but still do something that showcases my talent and that's why we chose Love the Way You Lie.' She smiled.
'Why the hell were you hanging out with Puck on Saturday Rachel?' Finn yelled from the audience.
'Well Finn, we didn't intend to but I told him that I forgot my birthday on Friday and that I was unable to celebrate it because I didn't have time. So after Temple, we spent the day working on our performances and doing homework in the park.'
'Why didn't you ask me to do the duet with you Rachel?'
'To be honest the first reason was because YOU also forgot my birthday and when I told you on Saturday that I had forgotten it as well, you didn't even apologize for forgetting it or make any effort to make up for it. Secondly, you know that you would not have been able to pull off Eminem. It needed a rough, dark sound and Noah fit it perfectly. We can discuss this further later. Noah it's your turn.' He winked at her and she returned it with a grin.
'As Rachel said we wrote a list of our usual stuff, my problem was that I've done a little bit of everything. So instead I decided to do Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean because it broke the mold in country music by incorporating rap.' He shrugged.
'Well great job! I think we should consider those as contenders for Sectionals, well, edited versions of those as contenders for Sectionals.' Mr. Shue chuckled. He excused everyone for the evening so Rachel and Puck went to their separate dressing rooms to change. Rachel received a text as she was folding her performance attire.
Dinner my house to celebrate our awesomeness, followed by u helping me with the English assignment, then we can pick some songs 4 Temple… u game? – NP
She shot him a quick response than text Finn.
I'm game Noah but wait for me! I need a ride =] – RB
I know you probably want to discuss my performance but I can't tonight, I'll let you know when I'm available… But be prepared for my wrath because I do not appreciate you calling me out in front of everyone! 3 RB
She finished gathering her things and heard her phone beep signaling a new text.
Waiting the truck – NP
K, on my way! – RB
Before she had time to put her phone up, Finn answered her text.
You'll let me know when you're 'available?' It sounds like I have to set an appointment to see my own girlfriend. I'm sorry I called you out I was just surprised by you and Puck… please don't see him anymore! 3 FH
EXCUSE ME? I WILL HANG OUT WITH NOAH ALL I WANT YOU INSUFFERABLE JERK! YOU DO HAVE TO SET AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME BECAUSE LIKE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS, I AM OVERWHELMED WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE TO DO! RB
She walked quickly to Puck's truck and slammed the door as she got in.
'Whoa B, what did my truck do to you?' he asked jokingly.
'I'm sorry Noah I didn't mean to assault your vehicle. Finn just really pissed me off.' His eyes shot up with use of the word 'pissed' even though his little sister used it, Rachel Berry did not.
'What'd he do?' She leaned over and showed him the text messages. Noah smiled, shaking his head and started the truck. 'He's really stupid if he thinks he can tell YOU what to do.' He chuckled. Rachel's phone began to ring and she rolled her eyes. Thinking it was Finn, she opened it quickly.
'What do you want? Oh, Mrs. Franks, I'm very sorry about that, I thought it was someone else.' She blushed and Noah had to fight not to laugh out loud. Mrs. Franks was the receptionist for the Temple. She was like eighty years old and mean as hell.
'What did that old bat want?' Noah asked as she hung up her phone.
'I really do despise that woman.' She frowned. 'But, she has scheduled us for a 'big event.' She mocked. 'Apparently one of the kids from Temple is having a Bat Mitzvah this weekend in Columbus and they asked us to perform. It means missing school on Thursday and Friday. Do you think we could do it?'
'I don't know B, we have a test in Chemistry on Friday.' He said thinking about it.
'We would each receive $500 for the performance and it would be all-expense paid for all four days for us and our families.' She added.
'I'm down; we can make up the test next week.' He grinned. She smiled at his quick decision.
'Do you think we could manage the set list in time?'
'Yeah, we'll just use our Glee songs. It's a Bat Mitzvah so we don't have to worry about it being Secular music.'
'You're right, and she said that we'll only be playing for two hours on Friday night and four hours on Saturday. Between the two of us we should be just fine.' She smiled.
They spent the rest of the night and all day Tuesday and Wednesday working like dogs trying to get their school work done and perfecting their set list. Luckily the drive was relatively short on Thursday so the teens slept in. Diana Puckerman, Noah's mother, had a mini van so all six of them piled in it at noon. They arrived at the hotel around two and were in for a big surprise when the receptionist stated they only had one room.
'We'll make it work. It sleeps six so we will be just fine. Hiram and I will share one bed, Diana and Hannah will share the other, and Rachel and Noah can share the pull out couch.' Dave said as they pulled their luggage into the room. Rachel and Noah shared a shocked look at the fact that their parents were willing to put two teenagers in the same bed for three nights. 'Oh, don't look so shocked you two, you will be in the same room as three adults and a seven year old. Someone would catch you if you tried any funny business. We trust you both to not put us in that situation though.' He said giving them a pointed look.
'Don't worry Dave; we'll be on our best behavior. I value my face and the use of all of my appendages, so there's no way I'd try anything that would cause Finn to go all American Psycho on my ass.' Noah said, holding his hands up in surrender. Despite his slight curse, everyone laughed.
'Noah, let's go check out our practice room. I really need to work on my part in Lady is a Tramp.' Rachel said pulling out her sheet music.
'Fine, we'll practice until 5pm, no later, but that's it… I'm not spending my weekend trapped in a tiny room playing the same songs over and over. The Puckster needs some pool time.' He joked as they walked out.
'We have some good kids, don't we?' Hiram said as the door shut.
'Yes we do Hiram.' Diana said with a smile.
Puck and Rachel found their practice room quickly after grabbing some coffee from the hotel's coffee shop.
'I really don't think we need to practice right now Noah. I lied in the room because, despite my love for our families, really needed a break.' Rachel revealed as they sat down in the comfy chairs that were provided.
'I knew it.' He said flatly.
'How? I thought my acting had been impeccable.' She pouted.
'It was impeccable, it's just that last night you refused to practice that song because you said, and I quote WeareasclosetoperfectaswearegoingtogetNoah,andifIhavetohearitonemoretimeI'mgoingtoscream.' He joked, mimicking her voice and causing them both to laugh.
'I forgot I said that' she said trying to catch her breath after the laughing fit. They both sat in silence for a long time. It was a comfortable silence and much needed after the hectic week. They both ended up dozing off at some point but were rudely woken by Rachel's phone going off.
'Hello' she answered groggily.
'What the hell Rachel?' she heard Finn yell.
'Who is it Berry?' Puck said as he woke up. She glared at him.
'Was that Puck? Tell him he's dead!' Finn continued.
'It's not Noah Finn, it… was my dad' she lied.
'Really? Then why did you answer his phone?' Her eyes went huge and she looked at the phone she was holding. Sure enough, it was Noah's.
'I can explain Finn, really, I can.' She pleaded. Finn didn't give her a chance. He just hung up.
'Smooth B.' Noah said with a sleepy smirk and a yawn.
'I'll just have to tell him the truth on Monday,' she sighed. 'I'm sure he'll be mad but maybe he won't totally hate us.'
'Nah, I'm going to get punched.' He said rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
'I'm sorry.' She said plopping back down in her chair.
'It's cool B, let's go upstairs and get changed. I want to enjoy the last few days of my life.' He teased pulling her out of her chair and slinging his arm around her shoulder. They walked lazily to their room. The whole gang got changed and spent the next few hours at the pool. They played games and Noah threw Rachel into the pool so many times she lost count. At ten they all drug themselves upstairs, took turns showering and got tucked into bed.
'If you want to cuddle B, you are more than welcome but your hands must stay above the waist.' He joked as she slid under the covers.
'Noah, if I feel your hands anywhere near an inappropriate place, I will make sure your mother never has grandkids.' She glared.
'You two need to stop bickering and go to bed, and Rachel, please don't threaten that, he may do it on purpose.' Diana said as she got into her own bed. They all laughed.
'Bubba, can you please sing me a nighty night song?' Hannah asked as everyone quieted. Puck sighed, but there's nothing he wouldn't do for his little sister.
'Of course Han' he answered getting out of bed and going to get his guitar.
'Rachie, can you please sing it too?' Hannah added.
'Of course,' she smiled. Rachel sat up in the bed and waited for Noah.
'What song do you want to sing Rachie?' Puck teased. She swatted him.
'Any requests Hannah?' Rachel asked the little girl.
'Part of Your World, Ariel's my favorite.' The little girl replied. Rachel had to cover her mouth to stifle the laugh at the look on Noah's face.
'Do you know how to play it Noah?' she asked with a smirk.
'Yes.' He answered her and flipped her the bird. They both chuckled and Noah began to play.

They had both families clapping by the time they were finished. Hiram and Diana both wiped tears out of their eyes.
'That was beautiful! You guys sound amazing together.' Dave told them, beaming.
'Sing us one more please!' Hannah squealed.
'One more, then its bedtime.' Noah replied, 'What song Princess?'
'Sing the Aladdin song!' she said clapping her hands.
