It looked wrong to Will's eyes. Terri had left the apartment thirty minutes ago and taken her belongings to Kendra's. The unicorn he'd won her in high school. The old armchair that was their first piece of furniture. The photos of them together. Gone forever. As much as he knew this marriage was over, that it needed to be over, it still hurt now that it was a reality. 15 years wasted. For what? He still doesn't understand it, the lies, the betrayal, the anger he felt. He doesn't think he'll ever understand. Nor does he think he'll ever forgive himself for grabbing her in anger. He didn't think he was that type of man, to get violent when he was angry, yet he did.
As Will looked through the apartment he made a decision to go shopping that night. To make his house a home again. One that wouldn't carry the harsh memories of a wife who betrayed him in the worst way possible. Will wiped a tear and shut the door softly behind him.
As Will walked into school he felt as if everyone was staring at him. Complete and utter nonsense as he doubted anyone knew (or even cared) about his marriage problems. Yet the feeling remained. He supposed that the Cheerios running out of his way was natural. Sue had already told everyone about how he'd ruined her life. He wanted to laugh at the irony. The women who'd done everything to make him miserable finally got her just desserts and still had to turn around and blame him for her troubles. Typical Sue. Brittany and Santana ignored him completely outside of Glee. Even Quinn was giving him the cold shoulder.
He couldn't even go talk to Emma, not since their kiss. It had been extremely awkward between them ever since that day. He counted Emma as a dear friend but the more he thought about it, the more he wondered if he wasn't just using Emma as a crutch. With his entire life falling apart around him, he needed something positive to happen and he thought dating Emma would be it. Yet after their kiss, she'd pulled away and repeated what she'd said to him at her failed wedding. 'Will, you just left your wife. Is this really what you need right now?' Will desperately wanted to tell her how she was wrong but the words wouldn't form in his mouth. They'd decided that they'd re-visit a relationship after the divorce was through.
Will walked into Glee after an average day. He was relieved to see that everyone was there. After the Puck/Finn/Quinn situation had come out it was rare for the three to be in the same room at once. It made life easier for everyone, but Will knew the three of them would have to confront the situation eventually. Even just for their own sake. He knew from his own bitter experience that bottling feelings up never helped. It just made everything worse.
Will walked into the house after a long day, his arms full of shopping bags. He'd managed to find some small items at the local Walmart on the way home from work. It wasn't much, but the small things he'd bought were already making the apartment look a little better. It wasn't much but it was all he had right now. He'd managed to survive the first day of his life without Terri and he already felt more confident within himself. It wouldn't be easy, but he thought to himself when was life ever easy?
