"You hated him, too," Puck replied, trying to get her to see the logic in the situation. Although, as Puck well knew, logic and Rachel Berry were two things that very rarely went together. "I know you guys hated each other. And you were both bitches to each other with a capital B. But fuck, Rachel, that was years ago. This isn't high school. If it was, I'd still be having unprotected sex like some kind of idiot dickhead and knocking up other dude's girlfriends. We all made a royal metric fuckton of mistakes, Rach. We all did. Every single one of us. But we all grew up and learned from them, and that's what you have to do now. For Blaine, but also for you. This is real life, babe. It's not a joke. Our best friend's hurting right now, and it's our job to be there for him and make it easier. Not to make things harder on him or Kurt. I know you know that, Rachel. I know you do."
Puck's eyes, that had glared with anger at his phone when she'd texted him earlier, now showed only care and compassion for this person who'd remained a part of his life through thick and thin, no matter how bad things had gotten after the pregnancy of epic doom. "I know. Because I know you, and everything in life is crazy drama as far as you can see. But the fact is, Kurt loves Blaine and Blaine loves Kurt. It doesn't matter to them what happened back in high school nearly so much as it matters that they surround themselves with good people and loyal supportive friends now. I know you can be that for our boy, but you have to be willing to try. Blaine loves you, Rachel. He was so fucking hurt, not because you hurt his boyfriend nearly so much as because you betrayed him in something that was very important and special to him. I know that you know that, babe. And I know that you can step up and fix it. Fuck, you have to. You have to if you ever want Blaine to be willing to give you a second chance. Rachel... Don't ever underestimate the power of Blaine's friendship. That kid will love you to the moon and back, but you have to be fair to him. And to the other people he loves. I know you. God knows I do. And I know that your heart's in the right place, and you love Blainers. Just... Search your heart to find the best way to deal with things so you can be there for him? Because things are really bad, Rach."
