Hello again. My last story was deleted because it was about real people. So, this kind of just came to me. It's really AU. I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think. I hope you will give it a chance. Thank you for all of your support along the way. You all are amazing. I love to hear what you have to say! Enjoy! I don't own Glee. I'm just borrowing the characters. :)

Rachel and Noah Puckerman were at it again. It was part of their morning and daily routine to fight with each other. Rachel exclaimed, "Noah! You have to! You have to take me to school."

Noah, or Puck to his friends, rolled his eyes and said, "You are my little sister. You are two years younger than me. I don't owe you anything."

"You don't, do you? I know more than you think and I could easily tell mom all about it."

"I'm not afraid of you or ma. I'm not driving you to school. I have to pick up Finn. I'm not about to pick up my best friend with my little sister."

Marie Puckerman came in the room and asked, "What is going on in here?"

Rachel said, "Ma, tell Noah he has to take me to school."

Puck told her, "It isn't going to hurt the little drama queen to ride the bus. Just because I have a new car doesn't mean I'm at her service."

Marie said, "Maybe not hers, but you are at mine. You are taking your sister to school with you."

Rachel smirked happily as she got her way. Marie then told her, "You are not going to torture your brother all the way there either. I know he is picking up Finn. You are going to sit in the backseat and not bother the two of them."

Rachel frowned. "Yes, mama."

"Good. Now the two of you need to be getting on your way. You are going to be late." The two children kissed their mom on the cheek and hugged her before grabbing their backpacks and heading out the door.

The two of them were almost to Finn's house when Rachel said, "Hey Noah?"

"Princess, what did mom say about talking to me?"

"I thought it was after Finn was in the car. Nevermind."

"No, what do you want?"

"Are you going to go see Beth any time soon?"

"This weekend I think. Why?"

"Can I go with you? She's the only person I'm not invisible to. I miss her. I can't believe she almost three."

"Rach…"

"I just want to see her."

"Okay. You can come with me."

"Thank you, Noah."

Finn came and got in the car. He and Puck started talking and Rachel just sat quietly in the backseat like she was supposed to.

The three of them got to school and got out of the car. As Finn was getting out of the car he noticed Rachel. He said, "Oh hey Rach. I didn't notice you."

Puck chuckled and Rachel just hung her head. She said, "Hi Finn." Then she went off to class.

Finn asked, "What is up with Rachel?"

Puck shrugged, "I don't know. She's my little sister. I don't keep up with all of that. I have enough going on myself."

"Like what?"

"I'm going to ask Quinn out."

"You've tried and failed so many times. Why keep trying?"

"We have a connection. We have a child together."

"Dude, I really don't think she wants much of anything to do with you."

"Talking about chicks not wanting anything to do with people, how are things going with Layla was it?"

"I will have you know I have a date with her this weekend actually."

"You do? You have to be making that up. Who would want to go out on a date with you?"

"She thinks I'm cute. We are going out this weekend to Breadsticks."

"Well, good luck with that."

"Yeah. Yeah. Good luck trying to get Quinn to change her mind for the what, millionth time?"

"Eventually she is going to get tired of saying no and have to say yes."

"You keep believing that." The two of them punched each other and went off to their lockers.

Rachel was miserable. She was the outsider of school. She was in the Glee club, but no one liked her there either. She as always the butt of everyone's jokes. She hated going to school every day. She thought having a big brother known to be the baddest there was at school that people wouldn't bother her, but most of the time he was the one that started all of the jokes.

Rachel was getting her things out of her locker when someone knocked them out of her hands. She heard laughing and someone say, "If it isn't tiny Puckerman. Looks like she dropped her books."

She looked up and saw Quinn, Santana and Brittany. They were the most popular cheerleaders in Puck and Finn's grade. She couldn't stand them and they weren't big fans of her either.

She had tears in her eyes. This was almost a daily occurrence. She didn't say anything to them as she picked up her books. She just wanted to get her things, go to her AP history class and work on getting through her day.

Rachel was walking through the halls with her head down. She felt someone grab her arm. She tried to shake them off, but it didn't work. She looked up to see that it was Finn. He said, "Hey. What's going on?"

Rachel tried to force a smile. "Just a normal school day for me. I really need to get to class."

"Rach, you know if something is bothering you I can help."

"No. You have other things you need to be worrying about. You and my brother don't need me bringing you down. I can take care of myself. I have been most of my life. Ma has always been busy and Noah likes to believe that I'm really not his sister, so I have had to."

"Rachel."

"No, it's all good. Thank you for checking on me. I really appreciate it." Then she walked away.

Finn couldn't get Rachel off of his mind. She looked so miserable. He didn't know what was going on with her, but he was about to make it his goal to find out. There was just something about her. She was his best friend's little sister. Did that make her his little sister by association? He just wanted to make her happy. Everyone deserved to be happy and he was going to do what he could to help her. Now he just had to figure out what it was about her that brought his attention to her. She was his best friend's little sister. He should care as much as he was, but he was.
