Will sat there behind the table listening uninterested to an African American girl singing on stage. This was the fifth one already for the day and all of them were amazing, but none of them seemed to have passion. He watched the young student carefully as she sings, tapping her feet to the beat. When the music begins to slow down he smiles as she belts out the last part with more passion.

"That was amazing Mercedes," he said smiling, "We'll be in touch."

"Thank you Mister Schuester," she says walking off stage.

"Next," he calls loudly and he gasps when a young beautiful woman walks on stage.

"Hi I'm Rachel Berry and I'll be singing On My Own from Les Miserables," she says turning toward Brad.

On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

Will sits there amazed by her voice. When he first saw her he knew she was beautiful, but hearing her voice made his heart flutter in his chest. He feels his chest tightening and he knows what he's feeling is wrong, oh so wrong. He's married to Terri and Rachel is his student, he can't see her any differently; he won't. At least that's what he's praying.

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever

Will's ready to through morals to the end if he can hear her sing like this all the time. Terri would understand, wouldn't she? He shakes his head trying to get rid of his inappropriate thoughts about a STUDENT. He loved his wife, no matter how expensive she seems to find the things she wants, he vowed to love her and cherish her.

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us

He can see the tears in her eyes from his seat. He can feel his own heart breaking at her voice and the song she chose. The song fits perfectly with her voice and that's the saddest part, that this young woman has feelings of pain that she can express in her singing. He sits a little closer to the table with his elbows on it getting a closer look.

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

He's never saw anyone that sung like Rachel Berry before and he doubted he ever would again. Sure, when he was in Glee club himself there was a girl, April Rhodes who sung with a voice like silk, but she never had the passion when it came to singing her songs. Will notices the tears streaming down Rachel's face and he thinks about stopping her, but he couldn't get the words out. If he was being truthful, he never wanted her to stop singing.

I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known

What Will didn't know was Rachel was picturing Finn, the quarterback of the football team. She has seen him around school, everyone could because he was so tall, but she's really seen Finn. He hasn't thrown a slushy in her face like the rest of the football team, twenty outfits being thrown in the trash because they're too stained from the slushies' and tears. Once when Noah Puckerman had tossed a slushy in her face causing her to drop her books, Finn was there to help pick them up. If only Finn wasn't dating the head cheerleader of the Cheerios, Quinn Fabray, he might have noticed her. But who would notice someone like Rachel Berry when they had Quinn Fabray?

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own

As the song ends, Will smiles at her widely. She lets out a huge sigh of relief when the songs over, she chose the song to help get over Finn, but it only seemed to want to be with him more. Will begins clapping and she bows a little before looking right at the director. Perfect way to get on Broadway was to go ahead and show her eagerness.

"So, when will rehearsals start," she asks confidently.

"I'll post it later this week," he smiles.

She nods before leaving the stage. Will watches her exit before looking down at the clip board. She was the last one on the list for the day. He felt a pang in his chest knowing that he couldn't have her as his. That was a terrible tragedy, he thinks to himself as he begins packing up before he leaves to go home.
