It was after Glee rehearsal, and Will had just released the students. He grabbed his brief case and headed for his car. He was really stressed.
Oh my God, why am I so stressed? Nationals are coming up soon, and I have like a MILLION papers to grade!
He turned on the radio to help calm him down.
Wait, I just remembered something. Why was Rachel staring at me with this dream-like expression on her face? I haven't seen that look since she developed a crush on me! I wonder what she's up to.
Suddenly his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Shuester?" Rachel said on the other line. God, he loved her voice.
"Rachel, are you okay?"
"I-I-I….um, well…this is hard to say."
Will got concerned. "Rachel, you can tell me anything. What's wrong, honey?"
She was silent for a few seconds. Then she spoke up. "Never mind. It's nothing. I'll see you tomorrow."
He hung up and sighed in frustration. Why could she tell him what was wrong? Even worse, why couldn't he tell her how he felt about her?
"Will, you're so stupid!" he yelled to himself. "If you don't tell her, she'll find a nice guy, get married, have a great career and lots of kids and you'll be left in the depths of misery with a hole in your heart!"
Suddenly, he felt a relaxing sensation overcoming his body. The song "Don't Rain on My Parade" started playing on the radio and he could have sworn he heard Rachel's voice singing it.
Her voice is the one and only thing I'd like to hear in my life, he thought savoring the moment. He closed his eyes, remembering how she sounded like at the first Regionals. Her voice was like an angel, singing to the heavens.
Suddenly…he saw a car speeding toward him. He tried to swerve out of the way but he was too late! With a flash of lights and a loud BANG, everything went black. And that is how Will Shuester died that day.
BOO! Nice way to start a story, don't you think? I promise it'll be longer…just like "Sway With Me".
