More Than A Hookup

"Sarah? Jake?" Puck called as he led Quinn into the living room. "Sarah?"

Quinn put her bags on the couch and looked at Puck.

"There she is." Puck noted as the brunette came downstairs. "Hey."

"Hi." Sarah said as she hugged Puck before hugging Quinn.

"Hi, Sarah." Quinn smiled as they parted.

"What was so urgent that you needed me to come home for?" Puck wondered. "And where's Jake?"

"Jake's at Marley's house." Sarah responded. "I just heard from Mom about Dad."

"I don't wanna hear about it." Puck told Sarah. "I don't want anything to do with James."

"Dad." Sarah corrected Puck.

Puck shook his head. "He was never a dad to us. You wanna know something about him that we never told you?"

"What?" Sarah demanded.

"He used to hit Mom and he cheated on her, and-"

"You're lying." Sarah cut Puck off.

Puck shook his head. "You know how many black eyes I got while trying to protect you and Mom? Or how many times we stayed at Finn's house when you were little?"

"Mom stayed with him." Sarah pointed out.

"Don't blame Mom for the shit he did to her." Puck hissed. "She sacrificed a lot for me and you."

"I know." Sarah said.

"Then act like it." Puck replied.

"Noah." Quinn said softly.

"Stay out of it, Quinn." Puck requested as he walked out of the room.

Quinn bit her lip and looked at Sarah. She wanted to talk to her, but she didn't want to do something that Puck asked her not to.

Quinn slowly walked away and found Puck in the kitchen.

"I'm gonna start dinner." Puck decided.

"Need any help?" Quinn offered.

"No." Puck replied. "Thanks though."

Quinn looked at Puck.

"Don't give me that look." Puck said.

"I'm not." Quinn replied. "I just wanted to make sure you're okay."

Puck nodded. "I'm fine."

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Quinn asked.

"No." Puck shook his head. "I'm done with him."

"Okay." Quinn said as she took Puck's hand.

"I'm fine." Puck insisted.
