Author's note : Hey guys, it's me Hannah again. I'm attempting to do a multi-chapter story for the first time. I hope you liked my latest story 'When She Was Mine'. If you haven't read it, please do, I'd like to think it is good! So this story is a story I got inspiration from an old story that was never updated so I thought I'd try it. It's set Season 2 when Emma split from Carl. So just imagine there was a year between season 2 and 3 that we didn't see :D I hope you enjoy it, and please review, it really helps me write faster!
'Emma, when are you going to get a man, the clock is ticking and if you carry on the way you are, you won't find a man at all. You don't want that do you?' Rose Pillsbury asked Emma. It's coming up to Christmas time and every year, Emma gets the same question 'do you have a boyfriend yet?'
'Mother, even if I did have a boyfriend, I don't really feel the need to tell you.' Emma said exasperated with her mother's persistence.
'So…does that mean you do have one? Oh Emmie, this is such wonderful news! I'm so happy for you, you have to bring him home for the holidays, can you, please Emma? I'd love to meet him. Actually let me just tell the family this wonderful news….' Emma heard indistinct voices in the background, her mother's frantic screams drowning any of the surrounding noise out.
'Mom, can you please stop acting like I'm pregnant, and yes, I do have a boyfriend….' Should I really lie to my family like this, Emma thought. She was sick of her sister constantly nagging her about she needs to find a man. If I just bring someone, I could pass them of as my boyfriend and then finally get my family off my back, she thought.
'Emmie, that is great news! So will you bring him?'
'Yes mom, I'll ask him, he may have plans with his family.' Emma sighed, she really didn't know what she has got herself into…
1 week before Christmas break
Emma was starting to worry, she still hadn't found herself a 'boyfriend' for her meddling family. She can't possibly hold auditions for a fake boyfriend, could she? She was beginning to think about telling her mother the truth and just face the backlash of it all. She'd been stressing herself out at school way too much about it, and one person seemed to notice the amount of weight she was carrying on her shoulders. Will Schuester…
'Hey Em, what's up? You've been looking so stressed these past few weeks, it's not anything I've done is it?' Will asked in a sincere worried tone. Emma always loved that about him. He always thought about her happiness before his own, and was always there for her, no matter how big the problem was.
'Will, don't worry about me, I'm fine. I've just got a lot on my mind , you know with Christmas and planning my trip to Virginia, everything is just of catching up to me now. I'll be fine!' Emma responded, happy that he cared so much about her happiness.
'Are you sure Em, you are my best friend and I do know when you're lying, so tell me what it really is, I will not accept anything but the truth..!' He stated, grinning while doing so. That was another thing Emma loved about him , the way his smile always managed to light up her day, no matter how it was going.
'Fine, I'll tell you but that's only because I love you' She looked at him and grinned cheekily, although they say I love you to each other all the time, they've never said to each other in the meaning that both of them want secretly.
'I told my mother I have a boyfriend, and that may not seem like a problem but she said to bring him to Virginia and I don't have boyfriend to take to Virginia. I only said that because my family would not leave me alone, they kept telling me that I need to find myself a boyfriend before I get old, am I old Will? Do you think I'll find no one, like ever? Will I have to hold auditions to find the person to play him?' By the end of her confession her voice was raised, stopping passer-by's to look at the scene going on between the two. Will, on the other hand, couldn't stop himself. He burst out laughing, tearing up almost from laughing too much.
'Will! It's not funny, this is a very serious problem and I need my best friend's help, thank you very much(!)' Emma told him, very seriously.
'I'm sorry Em, but that is the funniest thing I've heard all day! Don't hold auditions, there is no need for them, I mean seriously Em?! A mass murderer could turn up, that would be totally awesome though! What I'm saying is, I'll pretend for you. I mean I am a pretty good catch!' He winked at her playfully. He is such a moron, is what Emma's thinking.
'Will, are you serious?! You would do that for me? I have to warn you, you will have to get interrogated by my father and my brother, and let me just tell you…they're a tough crowd! And we'll have to act all lovey-dovey, I don't really mind, I'd rather you do it than some random freak off the street.'
'Yeah, of course I'll do it. It'll be fun and I don't have anything to do over the holidays, my parents are going to some retreat in Spain so I get to spend Christmas with someone I love rather than something I love. That being booze and my television…so I'd be honoured to join you!' He saluted her and took a mock bow to her.
'Thanks Will, you have no idea how much this means to me. I'll make sure to show you all of my favourite places in Virginia and I'll make your stay totally fun! You have no idea how much I love you write now!' She ran up to him and gave him a huge bear hug and a kiss of the cheek.
'It's no problem Em, I'm glad I can come with you, although I do think I need some practise, you know we're going to have to kiss each other to prove our undying love for each other so…'
'Ah, I see what you're doing. I'm pretty rusty myself and they do say practise makes perfect so, I guess one little kiss won't hurt' She grinned cheekily at him before she lent up and kissed him on the lips. Just as Will was about to deepen it, she pulled away from him, smirking.
'Hey, no fair, I was enjoying that.' He moaned.
'So was I, but we should save some for Virginia, trust me there's more to come. Be patient Will.. .'
She smirked at his expression. His features showing he was anything but patient but hopeful for what's going to come out of this 'trip'. Will Schuester knows one thing, he'll leave Virginia with Emma Pillsbury as his real girlfriend, and he can't wait.
