Moments that Matter:
Chapter 1: May Angels lead you in
It was two weeks into the summer and Will Schuester was miserable. He had thought that the summer break from Glee club and work would be a good thing. It turns out that he misses those kids so much, that he was now in a slump.
Will was so desperate to do something, that he actually visited his parents in Columbus for a week.
The night after he had gotten back from his trip, he was sprawled out on his couch late that wednesday night. He had always hated Wednesday. Mostly because almost everything bad happened on them.
He was watching West Side Story, being the only DVD he owned at the moment. It was an end of the year gift from the kids in Glee. They told him that they wanted to get him something classic, yet cool, so naturally the got West Side Story.
As soon as Maria started to sing Tonight, he heard a knock at his door. He hit pause, slipped on his shoes and looked through the peep hole. He sucked in a breath at what he saw. Standing outside his door were twelve teenagers, dressed regularly for summer, fidgeting nervously.
He opened the door to twelve faces, all of which he knew very well.
"Guys what are you doing here?" He said as he ushered them inside. Once they were all situated, they looked like they were either going to cry or break out laughing.
"Even though to everyone else we lost at Regional's, all of us know that we won. None of us are going to make the mistake of doubting our ability as a team again. So we wanted to make sure that the heart and soul of Glee was doing okay." Rachel said smiling at Will.
Just a couple weeks before, when the group had sung 'To Sir, with Love." They had said that Glee would go on forever, because he, Will, was Glee
"We heard this song, and thought that it was very appropriate to sing to you. We all just want to say Thank you for everything that you have done, for each and every one of us." Quinn stated softly as the group all took deep breaths and then started to sing.
Finn:
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
I thought I might get one more chance.
Rachel:
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
All:
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
Puck:
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
Quinn, Tina, Santana, and Brittany
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Artie:
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
Mercedes:
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
Kurt:
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
All:
Hear you me my friends.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
May angels lead you in.
Will started to tear up, but wiped the tears threatening to fall away.
"Guy, that was beautiful. But why are you all doing this? You twelve should be enjoying your summer vacation." He said trying to maintain a straight face for them.
"Mr. Schu, we all heard how down you were this summer, and we were wanted to cheer you up." Finn said as he put his arm around Rachel. The entire club nodded in agreement.
The whole group was smiling through the tears that fell down their own cheeks. They all looked as though they had won the lottery. They were hiding something, but Will couldn't help but wonder if it was something good or bad.
"Well it was extremely thoughtful of all of you, to take time out of your summer to check on your teacher." Will said looking at the group,
The group of complete misfits. The group that, just nine months ago hated each other and wouldn't talk to each other unless forced too. Some were jocks, some cheerios, and others nerds. But these kids had one thing in common: They were all geeks and loved being them. They all accepted it at some point in time this past year. Will had come to love these kids like his own.
"What I can't figure out why all of you are here at," Will looked at his watch, "At eleven o'clock at night." He said eyeing them and using his stern teacher voice, trying to get them trying to get them to spill whatever they were hiding.
"Mr. Schu, we had some very important news to tell you that just couldn't wait until morning." Artie said
"Even I agree, this couldn't have waited till morning." Santana said smirking while she wound her arm around Matt's waist.
"I personally think that we would have all exploded with anticipation, if we would have waited for tomorrow." Kurt said as the whole group let out nervous chuckles.
"Actually, the reason were here so late, is because we just got it finalized two hours ago." Rachel said clearly bursting with happiness.
"Okay guys, what this amazing news, that couldn't wait until morning, and that just got finalized two hours ago? Something has gotten into all of you, and I'm not sure if I should be scared or not." He said laughing.
"Well, you know how we said that we didn't want Glee club to be over till next year." Mercedes said looking around at the others while Will nodded his head. "So, we thought, why don't we start up a summer program. Then we realized that you had to get permission from the school, and find a sponsor."
"So, we contacted April, who in fact is doing extremely well on Broadway. She told us that she would be honored to be our sponsor, and since she had already bought the auditorium for us, she had pull within the school and convinced them that a summer program would be good for us." Rachel said as the group broke out into smiles that looked as if, they got any bigger their faces would split.
"But the only way that this program can be started is if you agree to coach us." Kurt said in a questioning voice.
"So, Mr. Schu what do you say. Will you be our coach?" Finn asked looking nervous.
Will was stunned; he was gaping at his team. He was sure that he probably looked like he was going to pass out or something.
He finally broke out of his daze long enough to gaze at each of his students in turn, and then to answer. "Hell, yes!"
At that very moment, all hell broke loose. They all screamed and had a gigantic group hug. Puck picked Quinn up bridal style while she yelped at him to put her down, while Finn picked Rachel up and spun her around in circles. Mike and Matt did the same thing to Santana and Brittany. Artie pulled Tina onto his lap and spun his chair around. Kurt and Mercedes did their secret hand shake.
And Will stood there looking on at the young adults that had changed his life. This is what his very dysfunctional family was like. They all laughed, screamed and cried, that night until they all fell asleep.
Yes, Will Shuester had a family, a family that consisted of twelve teenagers. Quinn was on Pucks lap in one of the chairs. Finn and Rachel were on one end of the couch, and Tina and Artie were on the other end. Santana and Brittany were asleep on the other couch with Matt and Mike near them. Will looked at the teenagers and smiled as he realized something very important:
These were the moments that matter in life.
Hope that you enjoyed it! Thank you for reading it.
