Hi everyone! Here is my new fic. This is a song fic and every chapter (yes, multiple chapters!) will be inspired by a song. Well, the songs inspired me to write this. I mean there are so many songs that are just made for Wemma and I just took a couple and made something off it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and please review! =)
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Glee or Wemma. Neither do I own the songs that I use. Crap.
Nelly - Just a dream
''I was thinking about her, thinking about me. Thinking about us, what we going to be?
Open my eyes, yeah, it was only just a dream.
So I travel back, down that road. Will she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.''
Why would a woman like her fall for a guy like me? She was amazing, not to mention beautiful. As well in the inside as the outside. She was, no is amazing.
So I travel back, down that road.
How did we get here? We are 2 marriages further and well just 1 divorce, a fake baby and the extremely big mistake by letting you go. I never meant to hurt you, you know. I never did Emma. If you would just give me one more change I will never let you go. I would never hurt you again. Shelby was just a huge mistake and I don´t know what or from who you heard about April. Nothing happened Em, she was just staying over. But that doesn´t matter because I let you down.
I actually never let you go, I always stayed by your side even when you were married to Carl. I actually never thought this would come this far. I always thought that when I got divorced from Terri, you would be there waiting for me. And you did, but we chose wrong paths, made wrong choices and gave up too soon. I can see that now, I was a messed up guy Em. I still am a messed up guy.
But I'm working on it, you know and now I just sit here thinking about everything that happened in our lives. So much has changed, so much has been replaced.
Will she come back?
I have this feeling that I should move on, but I can't Emma not with you still on my mind. That wouldn't be the best thing for anyone. Especially me.
I know that she is never going to come back, but somewhere in my mind this question gets me wandering. What if she did?
No one knows.
Yes, start thinking positively. What if she did come back? Finding out that she still loved me even though she was married to Carl. That's just cruel thinking, but it could happen? When you are thinking this way you know you are in deep. Stealing someone's wife? Cruel.
Me thinking that everything would be okay after I divorced Terri was a lie. A big lie, things are still going on with Terri including her stealing 15% of my money every month. The biggest problem here is that I can´t stand Carl, Emma. I don´t believe he is good for you, even though my mouth tells you something else. My heart will always belong to you, but your heart belongs to someone else.
Not anymore, I know I had your heart once Em. I screwed up, I´m sorry Emma. I guess we were not meant to be together.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.
''Get your act together!'' Will sat there in his car in the carpooling lane, a spot that had become way to familiar over the last months. It seemed to be the only place he could get his mind straight without getting disturbed by someone, as much as he wanted them to do that. Will hadn't slept properly in weeks and even the glee kids were getting worried about him. He just sat there in his car feeling the silent tears streaming down his face. He heard a knock on his door and hesitantly looked up.
''Sir, are you okay?´´ an police officer tapped on the window again. Will rolled his window down and quickly dried some of his tears with his sleeve.
''Yes, I'm fine thank you'' Will put on his biggest fake smile and nodded to the officer.
''Sir, please call someone to pick you up. You can't drive like this''
''No, believe me I'm fine police officer!''
''Watch out. Have a nice day'' The officer looked at him with concern but still turned around to go back to his car. What could he do anyway.
''A nice day to you too officer'' Will managed to get a single nod on his face before the officer had gone into his car and drove of.
Will looked at the car till it disappeared somewhere between other cars. He let out a long breath, one he didn't know he was holding and got right back to where he was with the thinking he had just done. What made him break down on the middle of the high way? A simple song.
I never could have seen
Never could have seen this coming
The most amazing things
They arrive within a moment
I never could have seen
Never could have seen this coming on
Let's get out of here. He took a deep breath, wiped the fresh tears away and drove off. Home would be the best place to be right now.
Emma picked up her phone and dialed the way to familiar number. As soon as she heard the beeping tone from the connection she hang up again. She couldn't call Will for nothing, right? If Carl would find out she was still talking to Will he would go mad again and Emma could not handle such a fight again. She knew he had had some drinking issues in the past, but now they were suddenly living in the same apartment she had never been with him for over 2 days. She always needed to go home after she spent the night with him. But now she saw him every single day. And he changed over the last month, a lot.
She dialed the number again but didn't hang up. She needed a friend right now, and Will was the closest thing she had to a 'friend'. A cup of coffee wouldn't hurt anyone right?
''…. Hello!'' A cheery Will answered the phone.
''Hey Will..'' She could have sworn she heard him trip over something. A loud 'Oof' was heard on the background. ''Are you okay?''
''Yes!'' Will quickly stood up and put the stool he just walked over on it's feet. ''I'm totally fine! I'm always fine don't you know that? The funny one or the good guy.'' He was laughing at himself.
''Will. Are you drunk?''
''Not really no! Just had a couple of beers.. maybe a weird cocktail where I can't remember the name from but I'm not drunk''
''I'll call you back later, okay? Don't hurt yourself Will'' Emma hung up.
He couldn't believe she just hang up. Will had come home safely after he almost ran over an old lady because he closed his eyes for a second because they hurt. But he had ignored her for months, or at least trying to avoid her for several reasons. And now out of nowhere she called. Something is wrong
Suddenly his mind had gone all sober again and he walked towards the door. Will quickly grabbed his car keys and his jacket. He just needed to see her. He knew that drinking himself through his misery wasn't going to help him, but at least he got his mind clean. And now she finally needed him and he let her down. Great job, William.. great.. job
He slammed his door almost shut, not that that was his intention. He just needed to see her.
Emma grabbed a cup of coffee from the coffee machine, she couldn't believe what she just did. She called Will. It's not a crime she knew it, but he was drunk. He was drunk. Mister perfect was drunk. She could laugh about it a little actually and it made her stomach flutter that he might be drunk because of her. Stop thinking like this..
She walked to the couch and put on the television. Just when she settled with the cup of coffee in her hands on the couch, someone knocked on the door.
''Emma open up'' It was Will. ''Emma I know something is wrong, let me in'' Emma quickly walked to the door and opened it up to find a worried Will.
''Hey''
''Hi, how are you? You just hung up the phone, so I figured that something was wrong. And I jumped in my car..'' Emma motioned him to come in and he walked in
''It's okay Will, nothing is wrong'' She said with a small smile on her face. But then she remembered why she hung up and walked towards the kitchen. Will followed her closely after he had removed his shoes and put them next to the door. ''You want some coffee?''
''No thank you.. I'm still a bit 'tipsy' from that awful cocktail'' Will got his hand through his hair, just like evertime he did when he was nervous or confused. But Emma just thought of it as one of his
''Yes, what was in that by the way?''
''I have no idea'' Will said laughing, Emma joined in soon. ''I just threw everything in it I could find''
''Do I want to know why?'' Emma was hitting an sensitive point and she knew it.
''I was thinking about you'' Will suddenly stopped laughing, realizing what he said. Emma looked away blushing. ''I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it''
''No, don't be sorry and you are a little tipsy right now. So the most things that you say are just out of order'' Will shrugged and Emma gave him a nod. ''Now, you are going to take this'' Emma grabbed a glass of water and two painkillers. ''you really need to sober up a bit. As much as I like seeing you like this, a different Will''
''Ah.. so you like the different side of me huh?'' Emma blushed and Will took his painkillers while a small grin played over his face. ''I am going to be sorry in the morning, but I knew that before I started. So that's okay and for your information it was worth it''
''Why is that?''
''Because I got to see you'' Will looked away suddenly feeling very obvious what he just said. Deciding that the silence became awkward he turned to the other subject. ''What did you want to say? You wouldn't just call for nothing right? I mean, not that I would mind. Something is wrong, tell me''
''.. I'm not happy with Carl'' The sentence came out as a whisper and Will was very aware. ''He gets drunk late at night, that's why I hung up before. You reminded me of him''
''Did he lay an hand on you''
''No, not really''
''What do you mean not really? Did he touch you, when you didn't want it?'' Emma was trying to get out. But Will kept her there, instead he brought her to the couch and let her sit down. ''Emma, please tell me. Did he hit you..'' He slowly grabbed her hand and led his other hand to cup her face.
''He did once.. but he was very drunk. There was nothing he could have done about it''
''Emma why didn't you tell me?'' She could see he was trying to keep his tears from falling. The pain in his eyes was just unbearable as she started to sob herself. ''I should have protected you.. you could have.. ''
''I'm okay Will, really'' Will wiped some of her tears away.
''No you are not. I know you are not.''
''I'll get through it believe me Will, I always have been on my own'' She gave him a reassuring smile but suddenly jerked away by the sound of the door cracking. The open door revealed an obvious mad Carl.
''What are you doing here?'' Carl snapped in Will's direction. Will stood up and slowly walked to Carl, Carl on the other hand
''If you ever touch her again..'' They stood so close to each other, Will could feel Carl's breath and it smelled like Whiskey.
''Then what? You punch me? Gee- that is so.. movie like.''
''Don't do it Carl'' Emma just stood there not knowing what to do. ''Please don't'' but it was too late she could see Carl's fist up it's way to Will's face.
Will on the other hand grabbed his hand and turned it behind his back with ease.
''Get out, sober up and don't come back before you get your head straight'' Carl turned around to the door, he seemed to have found some sense in his somewhere in his mind.
Emma threw the door behind Carl closed and turned to Will. Only to find themselves in a tight hug, neither of them wanting to let go. Will felt Emma sob against his shirt and it hurt him so bad. He made a promise to her and himself.
''I'll never let you go, Em'' He hugged her even tighter as the sobs kept going. ''Never''
So I travel back, down that road. Will she come back? No one knows.
I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.
But dreams are there to come true. To help us through bad times, wishing it were the good ones. We have a second chance and we both know it.
So that was the first chapter! I always start with angst, but it will turn into fluff I promise you! Please tell me what you thought of it. It means a lot =)
