Hello All! I came up with this story a little while ago and decided to give it a go! This is only the PROLOGUE. I wrote this to give my readers a little background before I posted the actual beginning.

AU Wemma! Please Read and Review this! It keeps me writing! Thank you!

18-year old Will Schuester looked in the mirror and smirked. He ran his hand through his hair and picked up the keys to his pickup truck. He slipped his jacket on and gave himself a smirk (he a but full of himself in private) before running to the car and drove across town to pick his girlfriend up.

Emma Pillsbury stood in the hallway of her house fixing her hair while waiting to be picked up. Senior graduation was the following Friday night and her boyfriend Will was apart of that senior class (she was only a junior). This was their last night together before he left for New York in two weeks.

Will walked up to her front door and knocked nervously. They'd been dating for almost a year and he'd met her parents a dozen times but everytime he went up to the front door he was in fear that her father would answer. He heard footsteps running towards the door and someone yell "I'll get it!". Before he knew it the door opened. "Hi Will!" Emma's sister Natalie welcomed. Natalie was a freshman in college but she was home for the summer. She went to NYU and lived in New York City during the school year.

"Hi Nat. Is Emma ready?" Will asked. He wanted to get to the rink before it closed. Emma had been begging him to take her ice skating again since they went on New Years Eve.

Natalie nodded. "She's coming." They just stood there for a minute in awkward silence. "Are you excited to finally ditch McKinley?" She asked breaking the silence.

Will shrugged. "Totally! I mean I'll miss Emma and the rest of the glee club there but I'm ready to get a life finally."

Natalie laughed at his excitement to leave Ohio. "Em mentioned that you're going to New York after graduation."

"I leave in two weeks. Depending on how nice the whole Broadway scene is to me, I'm going to try to come home as often I can to see the family and Emma."

Before his girlfriend's sister could respond to what he just said Emma appeared next to her. There was a smile on her face and once Will saw her a smile grew on his too. "Hey." She said softly but sweetly.

"Hey." He said in return. "Ready to go?" She nodded and took his hand. Together they walked to his truck that was parked at the side of the road in front of her house. He opened the passenger side door for her then ran to the driver's side.

He sat down and put the key in the ignition while starting the car. He looked over at Emma who was ruffling her hair and looking in the rear view mirror to fix it. She looked at him and shook her head. "I don't understand why my sister insisted on doing my hair tonight. She knew I was going to just take it out once I got in the car."

Will laughed. "I like it when your curls are down and are able to bounce."

She laughed and looked out the window to watch the scenery that was passing by. The car got silent for a little bit. "So I heard you and Natalie talking about New York." Emma said.

"Yeah?"

"Are you really that excited to leave this place?" Emma asked him worried.

"A little. I have no opportunities here. I need to go out and explore the world and broaden my horizons." He said.

"Even if it means leaving me?" She asked him quietly.

He sighed. Will knew she was going to ask that. "Em, I love you. You know that. But I have to find a career for myself that doesn't involve accounting like my dad. Just because I'm leaving Lima doesn't mean I'm leaving you. You could always visit me and I promise I'm going to try to come home as often as possible."

Tears were forming in her eyes. "I know that but there's so many new things in New York." She knew he knew what she meant.

Will stopped at a red light and turned to her. "I'm never going to just dump you on the side because I met someone who is better than you because it's not possible." He kissed her softly. "We're going to be together forever unless you decide we aren't working out. This," He said pointing to both of them, "will last forever." She nodded as a few tears streamed down her cheek. He wiped them away. "Don't cry, babe. You're applying to NYU next year right?" She nodded. "If you get in that means we'll be closer together." He smiled trying to cheer her up, "Don't lose hope in us just because I'm moving on from Lima. Lima isn't us. We're much much much more than that."

She put her forehead against his and kissed him again. "I'm trying my best." A car behind them honked that made her jump. Emma giggled. "We should probably move before the light turns red again."

He stepped on the gas pedal with one hand on the wheel and the other holding her hand. He pulled into the parking lot of the Lima Hockey Club. It wasn't too busy for a Saturday night. They were able to park close to the entrance. Emma excitedly pulled him inside and got them skates.

Will tied his skates on and stood up. He turned to Emma, "Ready to hit the ice?"

She smiled and stood up. She took his hand, "If I go down you're coming with me."

He laughed. "I don't know Ems. I have amazing balance."

"Which gives me more reason to cling to you like a shy child all night." She smiled. He kissed her nose and walked with her to the rink where he stepped onto the ice first. Will helped her onto the ice once he gathered his balance. Slowly, they skated in circles around the rink. Every once in awhile Will would lean over and kiss her.

"I think we've got this whole not falling thing down." Emma said confidently. Now she was just holding his hand instead of clinging to his entire arm.

He laughed. "Now you can try this." He slowly skated in a circle.

She stuck out her tongue. "Show off."

He started skating backwards. "What do you mean, Ems?" Will said with a smirk.

Emma laughed and rolled her eyes. She loved it when he called her Ems. She grabbed his hand again when she started to wobble. Before she was able to regain her balance she fell onto her butt. Will couldn't help but laughed a bit.

"You didn't bring me down with you."

"Dammit Will. Just help me up." She reached for his hand. Will grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him. Emma smiled. "Can you just keep me this close? I know I won't fall then."

Will kissed her softly. "You know I would but I think the place is closing soon." He skated them over to the benches so they could remove their skates. He took them back to the rental counter and met Emma at the truck. He got in and shut the door.

Emma sat as close to him as possible and put her head on his shoulder. "I don't want this night to end." She said softly.

He kissed her head. "It doesn't have to. We can go back to my house and watch a movie or something. I can drop you off at your house in time for your curfew."

She looked up at him and smiled. "That sounds perfect. Would your parents mind?"

He shook his head. "Ever since I moved into the room above the garage they barely see me let alone know who else is with me. We'll be fine."

Emma kissed him before buckling the seat belt. "Okay, let's get going then."

Will drove them across town to a small farm house with a detached garage. He parked just outside of the garage (inside was his father's workshop). "We should be quiet though. I don't know if my dad is working on anything inside." She nodded and got out of the car then followed him up to his room.

It looked like a small apartment when they walked in. Emma assumed that Will had planned to bring her there after skating since it looked so clean. One side of the room had a couch, television and a play station that she knew he was in love with. The other half of the room was the bedroom side of it. "It looks so cool in here, Will!" Emma said looking around.

"It's not much." He said closing the door. "but it's home." He finished.

Emma said on the couch and he sat next to her. "What movie do you have planned for us to watch?"

"I was thinking Singing in the Rain. It was either that or Jurassic Park. I know you don't like those kinds of movies very much." He put his arm around her.

She kicked off her shoes and curled up next to him on the couch. Emma cuddled herself into the arm that was around her. "That sounds just fine." Emma had a feeling he didn't really plan on watching the movie the whole time and she knew the same was for her too.

Part way through the movie Will kissed her head softly. She looked up at him and returned that kiss to the head with a deep, passionate kiss to the lips. He kissed her back and she straddled his lap. They sat there together for a couple of minutes before picking up his girlfriend and carried her to the other side of the room where they spent the rest of their night together.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Will and his parents sat outside of the terminal of the Lima Train station two weeks later. His mother was quietly crying into a handkerchief. Will and his dad were sitting on a bench silently looking at the ground. Will was leaving for New York City in a half in hour and Emma was supposed to meet him there. He had a feeling she wasn't going to show up since they had said their official goodbyes last night.

He heard a car door shut and looked up to see Emma walking towards them. Will could tell she had already started to cry from the blotches on her face. He stood up and walked to her. Emma ran into his arms and he kissed her head while running his hand through her hair.

"You don't have to go now. You can wait until summer ends. Wait until I graduate then we can go together." She said into his chest. Tears were slowly running down her cheeks.

"I need to Ems. I can't stay in Lima any longer. You know that." He said softly still stroking her hair.

She shook her head. "I can't do this."

"Can't do what?" He asked.

"Say goodbye to you. It's just too hard."

"This isn't a goodbye, babe. It's just a see you later." He kissed her. "You'll visit me, right?"

"Of course I will. But what if things happen and we grow apart?"

He stopped stroking her hair and looked into her eyes. "You need to stop thinking like this. That is never going to happen to us."

"I'm not sure I can do this, Will."

"Yes you can." He assured her.

"No. This." She said motioning to the two of them. "With you in New York and me and Lima, I don't think we can make the long distance relationship work."

"What're you saying Ems?" He asked in a worried tone.

"I'm saying that I'm setting you free. I'm giving you your freedom that you deserve."

"I don't need freedom. I need you." He said tears in his eyes.

She shook her head. "Have new experiences. Meet new people. If I'm lucky, when I come next year, you'll be the one waiting for me with a bouquet of flowers and open arms."

He nodded. "If this is atually happening, can you promise me one thing?" Emma nodded. "Never forget me no matter who you meet. I promise to do the same to you."

"I promise." She said softly. His train pulled into the station and passengers from the previous trip started to exit. "You should probably go."

Will didn't know what to say. The love of his life just broke up with him. He wasn't even sure if he should call it that. Will didn't have any words to say to her. He pulled her in close and kissed her passionately and slowly. Will pulled away and gazed into her eyes. "I love you, so so so much. That's never going to change." He wiped the tears that were trickling down her face away and rested it on her cheek.

"I love you too." She said holding the hand he held close to her face. Emma kissed it and slowly walked to her car.

They were always going to have those memories together of the time they went to the state fair and got stuck on the ferris wheel or that time they went ice skating together. There was more that linked them together that neither knew about at that moment. A child.
