***************************************

Rachel got into her car and just drove. She had no idea where she was going. Kurt was still at Dalton. Maybe she can go visit Kurt and Blaine at Dalton Academy. For some odd reason she always felt happy and more like herself hanging out with the Warblers regardless if they were show choir enemies.

Rachel drove until she reached the parking lot of Dalton Academy. If only Dalton allowed girls to transfer, Rachel would've been first to sign up. The Warblers often joked that Rachel would be a Warbler without any problem. She was so furious at Puck, at Quinn, and partly upset at herself for not giving into Puck sooner. Why Santana and Quinn are so hell bent on destroying her life she will never know. She honestly thought Puck was going to be "the one."

She heard her ringtone, "Sweet Caroline" go off and she looked at who it was and sighed in frustration. Damn it Noah leave me alone, she sighed in frustration. .

*knock on her car window...Wesley Montgomery. The head Warbler who was as obsessed with gavels, as she was with gold stars. *

Wes: Rachel? Rachel Berry? What are you doing here?

Rachel: Wes, oh hi, sorry I was looking for Blaine and Kurt. I just had to get away from McKinley and Lima.

Wes: Well follow me then, and you need to talk? What did Noah Puckerman do?

Rachel: I'll be okay. I'm just pissed off that everytime my life starts going right, someone messes it up. Plus if I had just slept with Noah none of this would've happened.

Wes helped her out of the car and took her hand. He shook his head and.never realized just how beautiful Rachel Berry truly was.

Wes: No one should pressure you and you're not dumb. And I believe Klaine are in the common room studying. I know that most of the Warblers will be extra happy to see you.

Rachel smiled. "Are you referring to Nick and Jeff?"

Wes chuckled. As he said she was well known with the Warblers.

Wes and Rachel reached the Warblers common room, and Wes opened the door and allowed Rachel to enter first. He was a gentleman after all.

Wes: Blaine and Kurt, you have a visitor.

Kurt: Rachel? What are you doing here? *he asked as he rushed to give Rachel a hug*

Blaine: Are you okay?

Rachel: I'm okay. I just missed my Klaine and mad at Noah and Quinn. *She explained what had appended, and Kurt was ready to jump into the car and head to Lima.

Blaine: I am sorry Rachel. I thought Noah really loved you? I bet this will all be a misunderstanding later on.

Rachel: I am just tired. Tired of coming second to Santana, but most especially Quinn. Why are they out to destroy any happiness that comes my way?! *Rachel broke down in tears.*

Rachel's phone buzzed again,.and.again its Noah. She put the phone on speaker.

Rachel: What is it Noah?

Puck: We need to talk Rachel. Please come back so we can work this out.

Rachel: I don't want to talk now. Quinn may have.came onto you BUT you kissed back.

Puck: I am a dumbass.

Rachel: That's an understatement.

Kurt: Puck, she doesn't want to talk to you. Give her space and go play house with your baby mama or whoever it is this week.

Blaine: Kurt, keep out of it.

Puck: That's right, Hummel listen to your Alpha prep boy, no offense, Warbler Blaine.

Blaine: None taken. I do agree just give her space.

Puck: Rachel Barbra Berry...

Rachel: I'll talk when ready. Now please respect my wishes and don't call me.

Puck: Fine, but this isn't over. I'm not giving up on us.

Rachel hung up. "So movie.night?" she asked.

Kurt: And ice cream, snacks and maybe makeover?

Wes: She's gorgeous just the way she is.

Soon after they were all hanging out in Kurt's room, watching movies and Rachel fell asleep, thinking of Puck. Perhaps she should get over it and forgive Puck and what she wouldn't do to bitch slap Quinn just once .

Rachel was texting a message to Noah when a tune popped into her head.

 "Just Once" (A/N: By James Ingram)

(Rachel)
I did my best
 But I guess my best wasn't good enough
 Cause here we are
 Back where we were before
 Seems nothin' ever changes
 We're back to being strangers
 Wondering if we ought to stay
 Or head on out the door

 Just once...

 Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
 Why we never last for very long
 What are we doin' wrong

 Just once...

 Can't we find a way to finally make it right
 To make the magic last for more than just one night
 If we could just get to it
 I know we could break through it
 (Hmm hmmmm)

 I gave my all
 But I think my all may have been too much
 Cause Lord knows we're not gettin' anywhere
 Seems we're always blowin'
 Whatever we've got goin'
 And it seems at times with all we've got
 We haven't got a prayer

 Just once...

 Can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
 Why the good times never last for long
 Where are we goin' wrong

 Just once...

 Can't we find a way to finally make it right
 To make the magic last for more than just one night
 I know we could break through it
 If we could just get to it

 Just once
 I want to understand.....
 Why it always comes back to goodbye
 Why
 Can't we get ourselves in hand
 And admit to one another
 We're no good without each other
 Take the best and make it better
 Find a way to stay together

 Just once.....

 Can't we find a way to finally make it right (Whoa)
 Make the magic last for more than just one night
 I know we could break through it
 If we could just get to it

 Just Once.....

 Whoa oh, we can get to it

 Just Once.....

Rachel laid on Kurt's bed and fell asleep with tears in her eyes, "Noah" she whispered, as Rachel sobbed. She wanted to work it out with Noah, but he was going to have to fight for her and remind her.why they are.meant to be.
