This is the first GLEE fic I have ever written. It's a Wemma story and I hope you all like it. The title of the story comes from a song by Joshua Radin. I apologize in advance for any typing errors.

Summary: What if Will doesn't back off like Emma asked him. What if he decides to fight for her, but something gets in his way? (First Glee story)

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee

Will Shuester sat at his desk grading the latest Spanish quiz he had given to his class. He couldn't help but wonder why the simple material was not registering in his students heads. Verb conjugation was simple enough, wasn't it?

After grading several of the tests and growing disappointed with many of the results, his mind drifted off. First, he thought of the glee club. Sectionals were coming up in just a couple of weeks and the group was in desperate need of a set list. Sure their sectional was against a school for the deaf and a school for girls who had all been to juvie more than once but Will wanted to prove to everyone that his group was the best.

Then his mind drifted once again, this time to Emma. Just saying her name gave him goose bumps. He always found himself thinking of her. And seeing her happy with someone else, Carl in particular, was the hardest thing he had ever done. Will knew she was the love of his life but what he didn't know was how he was going to prove his love to her. Will sighed in frustration, he wanted Emma back. He loved her. He loved her big brown eyes and bright red hair. He even loved that she was an obsessive cleaner. He loved her for who she was. He loved everything about her. He just hoped she could see that.

Will finished grading his papers right before the school bell rang signaling the end of the day. He got up from his desk, gathered his belongings, and walked to the choir room. Just as he entered the room he heard Rachel's unmistakable voice.

"Mr. Shue, some of us have been talking and we have a song we would like to try out. Who knows maybe we can use it for sectionals." Will nodded and looked on as the group took their places to begin their song.

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's back or white?
Mama can you hear me? Try to understand
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy lived the lie, it's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life, just slavin away.

A small smile formed on Will's face as he watched the kids dance to the song they were singing. He even began to hum along with the music and tap his feet to the beat of the drum. He had always been a fan of Bon Jovi.

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm, gonna live my life.

Upon hearing these few lyrics Will came to a realization he couldn't stand back and watch Emma be happy without him. He had to find a way to get her back. But he didn't know ho yet so he just continued to listen.

Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I show the world how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say Have a Nice Day.
Have a Nice Day.

Will clapped as the kids finished their song, hopeful that he would be able to get his Emma back but frustrated at the lack of ideas. "That was great guys, just great." Will sighed as he continued to clap for the kids.

"Mr. Shue is something bothering you?" Artie asked after all the kids praised each other on a job well done. Will sat down on the piano chair and clasped his hands together realizing that his mood was beginning to be noticed by his students.

"No, no of course not Artie, I'm just fine" He sighed once again knowing he was anything but fine. That was a great song guys, but we have to find more songs in order to compete at sectionals." Will attempted to put his thoughts of Emma to the back of his mind and focus on the glee club. Some of the kids gave a few suggestions and he Will even decided to let the kids sing a few of the more current ideas before they narrowed down the set list.

The group practiced for another hour and Will found himself once again sitting on beside the piano as the thoughts of Emma once again consumed his mind. He sighed in defeat.

"Mr. Shue, are you sure everything is okay?" Kurt asked. "You look a little down." Will shook his head attempting again to deny his feelings.

"Does this have anything to do with one Ms. Pillsbury?" Rachel finally asked. The whole group was aware of Will's feelings for Emma. They saw how he acted around her, how he blushed like a little boy when she was brought up in conversation, and how he was so angry weeks ago when her boyfriend Carl took a part in their Rocky Horror play.

Will sighed once again and scratched the back of his head. "Am I that obvious?" He asked not really expecting a reply.

The whole group nodded but Rachel was of course the only one to speak up. "If you want Ms. Pillsbury then fight for her Mr. Shue." Will had his head in his hands in frustration but quickly looked up as he registered her words. "Go right out that door, go find Ms. Pillsbury, and let her know how you feel. We will finish up here Mr. Shue."

"She's gone, probably with Carl."

"Mr. Shue you know where she lives. Go to her house and fight for her."

Before he knew it, Will was up on his feet, attempting to find his keys and speeding out the door to his car. He got in his car and drove away, as he attempted to come up with words to say to Emma when he arrived at her apartment.

Will was attempting to turn at the green light just before her apartment complex when a red car drove through the red light signaling for it to stop and right into the side of Will's car.

Emma was busy dusting her house in preparation for her date with Carl later that night, when the sound of ringing interrupted her. She walked over to the phone, picked it up, and put it to her ear,

"Hello"

"Yes, is this Emma Pillsbury speaking?"

"Yes it is. May I ask who is calling?" Emma responded quickly.

"This is the Lima Memorial Hospital. Ma'am you are listed as William Shuester's best friend and first on his emergency contact list." Emma cringed as a tear fell from her eye.

"Mr. Shuester was in a car accident."

Before she knew it Emma dropped the phone to the ground as tears fell from her eyes.

I hope you like it. If so please review, more should be up soon.
