Glee One-Shots

You've helped me more than you'll ever know (Puckleberry)

I couldn't sleep so I made this one already.
Hope you like.

As Rachel watched the juniors sing to her fiance' she couldn't help but stare over at Noah. With graduation in a week, Rachel had been thinking about her high school career. Who were her friends? Who has been there for her? Who made her feel.. special. And every time she asked those questions it always came back to one person, Noah Puckerman. As the group finished singing and Finn made another speech that Rachel, for once, Rachel found really annoying, she couldn't help but think she had been wrong her entire high school life. Finn Hudson wasn't her leading man, he was never really there for her, anyone to be accurate, well expect for Quinn; the only person who has been there for her the last 3 years of her life was Noah. The guy who used to throw slushies in her face, that Noah. Looking back over at him, Rachel smiled shyly when she saw that he was already staring earning her a quick nod before he trained his eyes back on Finn. How had she only realised this now? Why did it take until the end of high school to realise that Noah was the one for her? He had been the strong leader that everyone claimed Finn was but in all reality isn't. Sighing, Rachel looked down at the floor and started planning, she had a week to re write her wrongs and she was going to leave Lima with Noah Puckerman on her arm.

Breaking up with Finn was hard but not as hard as she thought. After a lot of crying and yelling, Finn finally accepted and saw what Rachel had finally realised, they weren't right for each other. He was destined to be with someone who loved the small town and she, well Rachel was destined to be with a rock star, a bad ass with a heart.. Noah.

The next couple of days consisted of Rachel being bombarded with questions.

'Why did you leave him?' Everyone in glee club besides Santana and Puck.

'How could you be so selfish?' Kurt

'Berry I am so proud of you.' Santana

Everyone had something to say besides the one person she wanted to actually talk to her. It sucked.

Sucking in a breath, Rachel watched as Noah played with his guitar on the stage. He looked so handsome and happy. Happiness was something she hadn't seen on him in months. She was so happy when he had walked into the choir room holding his passing grade for European History and announced proudly that he would be graduating with his year. Rachel listened carefully when he began to sing,

[Puck:]
You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing.
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded.
You, pickin' on the weaker man.

[Rachel:]
Well you can take me down
With just one single blow.
But you don't know, what you don't know.

[Puck with Rachel:]
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
