Rachel looked at Puck and said

"I know Noah, but." She trailed off as Puck parked the car at the Lima Bean and said

"But what Rach?" Rachel looked down as she walks inside the Liam Bean with him and said

"But it won't make a difference Noah, it won't. Finn will continue to go between Quinn and I no matter how many times we reject him. It's like I can't be happy Noah, no matter how many people want me to be happy. It's like I can't be happy, not since my dad's passed away and Shelby didn't want me for the second time." Puck felt for the short girl, he knew how hard it was for her, especially when her dads passed away and he looked at her as they stood in line and said

"That says more about Shelby and the others in glee club than you Rach. If this guy wants to make you happy and wants to meet you let him, you've already let this guy in and broke down your walls for him, he's already amazed by you Rachie. Your dads would want you happy. I want you happy. Honestly yesterday in Spanish class, when you were smiling widely at your phone and then silently giggling, was the first sign of the old Rachel I grew up with, and it was the first real smile I seen you with in a long time two years actually, and hearing you giggling was music to my ears, because I hadn't you giggling so much in a long time. Rachel, you owe this to yourself, don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve happiness because you do, and screw everyone except Blaine and Kurt in our glee club and screw Shelby. If Shelby doesn't want to know you Rach, its her loss not yours, and if everyone in New Directions apart from Blaine, Kurt and I don't want to know you either, it's their loss not yours." Rachel looked up at Puck as the moved forward in the line and said

"How can you be so sure Noah?" Puck hugged her and said

"Because I know you Rachel Berry. I grew up with you Rachie. You are basically my sister. You have always been fine without Shelby. You deserve all the happiness in the world Rach. I mean it you really do, especially happiness with your mystery guy and I'll beat up anyone who says otherwise except girls I'll leave that LJ." They pulled apart the hug and as Puck went to the counter Rachel went to find a table and she did her phone dinged, she pulled it out of her pocket and read

Hey Pretty Girl, how was your day?

Rachel looked up and around the lima bean trying to find her beau, and when she couldn't she looked at her phone and wrote

I'm not going to lie and say it was good when that would be lie, so I will say it was okay, but it could have been better, and it's getting better because I'm talking to you.

As she sent that, she placed her phone in her pocket and heard the chairs opposite her pull out, she looked up thinking it was Puck, but to her dismay it was Santana and Quinn. She feared what they would say about her being with Puck. She took a deep breath and said

"What do you two want?" Santana looked at her and said

"Stay away from Puck." As she said that Quinn continued

"He's too good for you, why would he want you?" Rachel looked at them and said

"I have no idea what you two are talking about, but can you please leave." They stood up smirking, and Rachel knew it meant something bad. Santana grabbed the coffee from the table next to her not knowing she picked up Sebastian's coffee. She took off the lid and threw the liquid on Rachel. Rachel stood up and said

"I'm not dating Noah, nor do I want to. He's basically my brother Santana." Rachel looked at them both with tears, as Santana said

"Like we believe that." Rachel wiped away her tears and said

"You can both believe what you want, but I'm not dating him." As she said that Quinn smirked, and Rachel continue

"But if you two must know I'm living with Noah, his mum and sister, I have been for the past two years. Because if you two also must know, both my dads passed away two years ago, in a car accident, they died on impact, my dads were friends with Noah's mum and Noah and I grew up together." As she said that, Quinn and Santana were as Rachel picked up her bag, and then walked to the female bathroom changing into her third change of clothing. Puck stood behind Quinn and Santana and said

"Happy now you two?" Quinn and Santana turned and looked at him and he continued

"you finally stooped that low to get her to tell you something she didn't want anyone but me, Kurt and Blaine knowing. Stay the hell away from her, both of you." As he said that, he turned and walked in the direction of the bathrooms and waited outside for Rachel, but 5 minutes later he walked and sat next to Rachel on the ground. They sat in silence on the ground and he said

"You want me to take you home, I can get you a glass of water, we could eat ice cream, invite Kurt and Blaine over and have a Barbra marathon." Rachel wiped her tears gave Puck and small smile and said

"I would love that Noah." Puck stood up, picked up Rachel's bag, and then held his hand out for her to take. As she stood up and was about to leave her phone dinged, she pulled her phone out, smiled as she read

That's horrible Pretty Girl, I wish I could make it all better for you. And I make your day even better by telling you I'm getting transferred to McKinley, with two of my best friends our first day is tomorrow.

Rachel stood in shock and covered her mouth as she read and reread the message. Puck looked at her and said

"Rachie what is it?" Rachel looked up at her friend and said

"FauvetteLAX24 is transferring to McKinley." Puck was shock and he said

"I know there is something else Rach, tell me." Rachel took a deep breath and said

"His first day at McKinley is tomorrow."
