Beautiful Nightmare
A Glee Fan Fiction
Chapter 1

"You miss it, don't you?" She whispered as she sat down besides him on the bleachers, watching as his best friend and the boy she truly loved played football.

"Hell, no," The mohawked boy shook his head as he watched the team practice. It was a terrible team, really, but it wasn't as awful with him on it. Besides the stats, though-he really did love to play the game. It was the only reason he had to go to school anymore. Well, except for the beautiful girl sitting there besides him, her hair being blown around in the wind. She was his new reason, supplying him with another extra curricular activity that could make attending his classes just a little bit more useful.

"Don't lie to me," She whispered softly, turning to face him. It wasn't said harshly, or with words that were full of vile and venom. "You miss playing, don't you?" She repeated her question once more, her dark eyes locked on his boyish face that didn't quite match his tough boy persona.

"You love him, don't you?" He asked, ignoring her question and posing one of his own. Although, he should have known right away that with a girl like Rachel Berry, he would only have some trouble of his own caused by asking her such an awkward and outright question. She had yet to reveal her true feelings about the boy he was nodding towards, standing on the football field, practicing his throws. Yet, most of the Glee club knew that this star was heads over heels in love with Finn Hudson, who was none other than the school's golden boy.

"And you love her, don't you? I mean, it's quite clear by the way you look at her. I've noticed it, just by how your eyes light up when she smiles. You love her, just as I love him, right?" She wondered, tilting her head to the side thoughtfully, her eyebrows arched curiously as she spoke.

"Well, they're both in love with one another. So our feelings don't exactly matter, do they?" He asked bitterly, his usual smirk on his face as he looked at her, his eyes full of some other kind of emotion besides jealousy, as he should be feelings because of Finn and Quinn Fabray, his alleged lover's new beau. No, instead it was bitter because she was trying to rationalize what had happened between the two of them, by saying that he loved another. And that was a lie. He had no feelings towards the golden girl.

"Being with me...it's only going to get you slushied every day. And I do not want to be the reason you're stuck being away from something you enjoy doing," She explained slowly...her voice full of caution, as if she were afraid of what she was saying and wanted to make sure every word was carefully thought out. "I just don't want to be that girl. Besides, if we both love other people, what is the point of us being together? It will only remind us of what we can't have," She sighed as she finished off her rant, a sad smile on her face. It was clear that this was, in fact, her very first break up.

"I like her-I mean, I'm attracted to her, rather," He said simply, his eyes locked on the field before him. "But I wouldn't say I love her. No, I don't love her, not really. It's just a strong feeling of lust, because, well...she's Quinn Fabray and it's pretty much wired into every boy at McKinley to feel that way about her," He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts. This entire thing was true, of course, because his secret passion-his true love-was all wrapped up in being centered around Rachel Barbra Berry. "And, I really do want to try to make things work with you," He whispered softly, turning his head so that his hazel eyes were now locked on her profile as she stared out at the crowded football field.

"Because we're both hot Jews?" She wondered, smiling playfully at him as she turned around to face him, a slight giggle being released, most likely against her very will.

"Yes," He nodded, extremely serious. She laughed as she reached out to slug him playfully on the arm. He intercepted her punch with a quick grab of the wrist, pulling her onto his lap and smiling at her. "Because we are both extremely hot Jews," He growled into her ear and smiled as she squealed out a giggle as he kissed her neck, biting it slightly, right there on school ground, breaking many school rules.

"NOAH!" She shrieked quiet loudly as she laughed, swatting at him to get him to stop. He grinned, kissing her on the cheek swiftly. He loved it when she called him Noah. He just loved how it sounded, and loved knowing that she had her own private nickname for him, that nobody else was able to call him.

"Shush," He shushed her, leaning in close to her again, feeling Finn Hudson's eyes locked on them. "We can discuss our relationship later. Right now? All I want to do is kiss my girlfriend," He smirked as he leaned in, kissing her long and hard, right on the lips as he placed his hands around her waist, holding her in a tight prison that was made only of his arms. She responded with wrapping her arms around his neck quite swiftly, enjoying the kiss and letting her tongue playfully tease him, right at his lips. He smiled into it and sighed as she slowly pushed him away.

"So, I'm your girlfriend?" She wondered, a playful smile twitching at the corners of her mouth.

"Babe," He sighed, scooping her up to her feet and standing up to join her. "You're most definitely my girlfriend," He whispered, placing his hands on her hips as he kissed her again.
