Will spent his nights the same way he normally would, get home from school, grade some tests or look for songs for the glee kids, have a beer or two, maybe watch some TV and go to bed alone. He did this night after night. It was a routine that he'd set up, trying to make himself busy to forget his troubles, it was all well and good until he would reach his bed, where all his thoughts would rush at him at once. He couldn't get her out of his mind.

But unlike those nights, tonight was different, his routine started off as normal, he got home from school and started to grade the Spanish tests from the day before after a eager Rachel Barry wanted her scores back to report to her fathers when they got back to school after the weekend. Half way through he got up to get himself a beer when he heard a quiet yet noticeable knock coming from his front door. Sighing he made his way to it, checking the clock on the far side wall; 9.34pm. "Coming..." he called to door.

He opened the door to find a petite red-head, staring at her feet with quiet sobs coming out of her mouth.

"Em? Wh-" Before he could finish she launched herself into his arms and openly cried her heart out into his chest. He circled his arms around her waist to hold her shaking body.

"I-I didn't know wh-where to go and- and- oh God Will!" her cries getting louder and louder, the shaking continuing.

"it's okay, it's all going to be okay, I promise, its okay..." he repeated trying to calm her down. He slowly pulled her into his apartment, closing the door with his foot and placing her on the couch, he sat next to her still holding her close to him.

"Shh, Emma, what's wrong? What happened?" he tried to coax her into looking at him, when she didn't budge he placed his fingers under her chin and made her look at him, their eyes locking.

"It-It's Carl, Ca-Carl and I, we, uh, we broke up" She struggled to speak, the shaking and sobbing still over taking her small fragile body. He tightened his grip on her waist.

"What? Why? What happened?"

"He, uh, he was cheating on me, with, wi- with one of his patients..." the sobs getting louder than before.

Rage over took Will's body, how could that bastard to that to Emma, his Emma. He moved one arm to rub her back and keep the other at her waist, Their eyes still locked.

"How did you find out?" he asked, trying to not show the anger that was boiling his blood.

"We-we had a fi-fight, um, about you..." she looked down, not being able to face him, "he was angry that you and I were st-still friends, and-and we started yelling and he b-blurted it out." She clamped her eyes shut, attempting the next set of tears back into her eyes, failing miserably.

"Oh my God, Emma, I'm so sorry, it's going to be oka-"

"He did it because I couldn't consummate the marriage, I never could Will!" she spoke over his calming words and buried her head in crook of his neck. "I was his wife for God's sake and I couldn't have sex with him!"

Will didn't know what to do, she was still crying, slowly soaking the top of his shirt, and nothing was calming her down, how did she drive here with those tears? He thought to himself. "it's going to be okay, Em, Shh, I need you to calm down." Will looked back at the clock 10.45pm, an hour? He had been sitting there with her trying to calm her for an hour.

After another half an hour of Emma trying to calm down did she actually stop crying, her tears now reduced to small sniffles and a pounding headache from her fallen tears. Will looked back at the clock 11.15pm, he sighed, and bravely spoke up "uh, Em, it's past 11, do you want to have a shower and just stay here the night?"

"I – are you sure? I'll just go rent a room somewhere it's no hassle." She quietly spoke.

"What? Why?" Will was completed confused, a hotel room?

"I moved in with Carl, I uh, sold my condo." She looked away from him again.

He put his fingers under her chin again and forced her to look at him. "No, I won't have that, you're staying here I'll look after you..." he choked out the next part "it's what friends are for."

"are-are you sure?"

"Positive, you can sleep in my bed, and I'll take the couch."

"Oh, no Will it's yo-" Will placed his hand up to stop her from talking, helped lift her from the couch and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"you.." he pointed at her "..are my guest.." he started to lead her to the bedroom where Will spent his lonely nights, "..no arguing about this okay? You're staying in my bed... for as long as you need" along the way he made a pit stop at the linen closest where his guest towels were hidden. Walking into his room he went to his drawers and got a small T-Shirt of his and pair of pyjama boxers for her. "have a nice long shower, call me when you're done and I'll put the clothes you're wearing now into the wash after you shower and change, okay?"

She nodded and smiled a small but genuine smile at him, not being able to form words at how much this meant to her, she took the towels and the clothes and shut the bathroom door.

Will glanced at the clock again, 11.26pm. Thank god it's Friday.

20 Minutes later Emma returned from the shower in his clothes with her hair half damp and her previous clothes out stretched in her hands for Will to take. After placing them in the washer he lead her back to his room, where he took a quick shower, brushed his teeth and came out to her sitting on the edge of his bed staring off into space.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked touching her shoulder.

"I don't know. It's been a long night."

At that they both glanced at the clock 12.08am.

"I'm sorry I ruined your Friday night, Will." She spoke quietly.

"What? No, Emma, you've had a rough night, it's good to be with someone who you know is going to look after you and not being stuck in some creepy, messy, unclean hotel room all by yourself. Besides, I was doing nothing anyways." He sat next to her and pulled her into a hug, lingering a little longer than he should have, she didn't mind though, being in his arms, embracing her, it was soothing.

"Stay." She simply stated.

"What?"

"Stay with me please?"

"I am, downstairs-"

"No, I meant stay here with me."

She needed her friend, she needed someone to care for her. She needed him. "Okay." He breathed out.

They scooted back towards the head of the bed, her on the left and him on the right, lying next to each other, her right arm touching his left. Will placed the duvet over both of them and Emma rested her head on his shoulder reaching for his left hand and entwining their fingers together. For one night Will didn't have all his thoughts rush to him, they were lying next to him holding his hand. He glanced one more time at the clock, 12.15am.

He awoke the next morning to find that they had both moved during the course of the night, their hands still entwined, but her body on her right, facing him and her left arm around his waist, and his right rubbing circles on her hip. He turned his head to hers, which was in the crook of his neck, he swore he could see her smiling, but it was over when the startling alarm went off, stirring the woman in his arms.

"Crap." He swore under his breath, and reached over to turn it off before it completely woke her up, he noted; 6.15am before smashing the button dead.

He turned back to see Emma still lying on her side with her arm still around his waist, her large eyes staring back at him. She smiled.

"Forgot to turn off your alarm for school?" she giggled.

He smiled back, "Shh, to early back to sleep" he murmured still very tired from the night before. She giggled again, and turned releasing her grip from his waist and from their entwined hands and turned to the other side of the bed. Will stayed where he was and starred at the ceiling for a moment before he felt her small hands grab his and pull him so he could wrap them around her. He could smell his shampoo in her hair and another smell, the smell of her. He tightened his grip and they both drifted off to sleep.

Emma awoke again and checked her phone for the time 11.34am, they were still in the same position as they were at 6am. She slowly turned around to face Will to wake him from his slumber.

She nudged his shoulder with her forehead, because of this he had awoken with a startle. "Hi." she whispered.

"Hey." He smiled sleepily.

"Brunch? I'll cook." She grinned at him.

"Wanna just go to the coffee shop around the corner? They have a brunch menu. We can talk about your living arrangements with me." He stated.

"What? You? No Will, I couldn't do that to you, we'll go apartment shopping."

"Can you afford it?" she just went through a divorce, that cost money, right now, he was willing to help her and if she didn't take his offer he was going to keep pushing her, he wanted what was best.

"Yes...No.. I don't know." She was at lost for words, could she afford it?

"How about, we go get brunch, then we go room shopping, hey?"

"Room shopping?" she was confused, he was buying her a room?

"I have the spear room remember, it's completely empty, it's got a closest. All you need is a bed, bookshelf maybe, a table, and desk? I don't know. Emma you can stay with me, it's cheaper, we'll drive to work together, saving on gas, and you can help by food from the store."

"Will..." she looked into his eyes, smiling and on the verge of tears, he was willing to let her stay with him after everything she had done to him. "You don't know how much this means to me, I can move out as soon as I get enough money."

"Let's not think that far ahead, let's just focus on getting you on your feet and being happy okay?" His grin reached his eyes, she was his best friend, he didn't want to see her fall and not be picked up.

"I can help pay for some bills, I know it's a big apartment and you live by yourself, half of your pay must go into living there. We could go halfies." She was genuinely happy, happy because he cared, happy because he wasn't cracking on to her straight after what was helping, he was being her friend.

They smiled and laughed together, Will stuck out his hand to her.

"Deal?" she took his hand in hers.

"Deal."

After brunch that Will had payed for much to Emma's annoyance, they drove in Emma's car and went to the local bedding store, where Emma payed for her double sized matrass, bed frame and 4 pillows for a nice cheap price from a very nice old couple who suggested that her and her husband get a king 'if they knew what they meant', Will went on to explain that they were just friends. She smiled at him, silently thanking him, the last word she wanted to hear was 'husband' and the other two were 'married' and 'divorce'. She glanced over at the clock 12.03pm, The truck would deliver it at 4pm.

They drove to sheets n' things praying that Terri wasn't working, much to their happiness, it was her day off and Howard Bamboo was working alone, and a little terrified. Emma bought herself 3 different sheet sets, and donna covers, whilst will bought her 8 pillow cases without her knowing to surprise her, and let her know she had spears just in case. Finished their purchases and went back to the car where will gave her the pillows just as she opened the back seat door to put her stuff away.

"You forgot to buy pillow cases, merry moving in!" he beamed at her.

"Oh Will..." she smiled at the pillow cases and back at him, nearly crying again, "you didn't have to, thank you so much." She half hugged him trying to juggle her items with his presents in her non hugging arm. After the hug he removed his phone from his pocket to look at the message from one of his old friends asking him to the local bar that night, he ignored the message and looked at the time 2.12pm, still less than two hours before the bed was delivered.

After putting everything into her car Emma and Will drove to the nearest Target where she bought herself a small but long 'make it yourself' book shelf as well as a large but inexpensive 'make it yourself' desk that she bought half price. Will complained it was cheap because you had to make it yourself and that it would take him 2 weeks just to get it out of the box. After some grocery shopping did they finally make it to their apartment. They both took a look at the time, 3.56pm.

At about 4.23pm the truck driver for the bedding company dropped off the bed, and matrass and helped Will take it to Emma's room. He tipped the guy and got cracking with assembling her desk, bookshelf and moving crap around in the room. Emma washed her bed linen and made her courageous drive back to her old home with Carl and picked up the remainder of her items. He wasn't home to her surprise and relief.

By the time she got home and lugged her boxes to Will's hallway did she see everything in her room was set up and will was placing the bed linen in the dryer to dry and put on her bed. She placed her computer and stationary on the desk, making sure it was all in its right order, she had to move a couple of things to make it perfect. She placed her clothes into the closet and started ordering her books alphabetical/colour and author onto her bookshelf.

After will had finished the washing, drying and ironing of Emma's bed linen did it finally go onto her bed. He and her stepped back to look at what a great achievement that had successfully achieved in that whole day. Will gave her another gift before she thought everything was done, a clock, a nice medium wooden clock, he hung it on the other side of the room, facing the bed. They smiled at the now completed room, Will put his arm around her shoulders and brought her close to his side. They both sighed a sigh of completion and tiredness, with one last glance of the room did both look at the beautiful clock, 10.59pm.

Good things take some time.

And their story was just beginning.
