Chapter One: The beginning

The day had not started off as planned, anywhere near planned. It started with little things, he ran out of milk so he couldn't drink his coffee, he forgot to turn the washing machine on so he had to wear odd socks and he had misplaced his phone, wallet and car keys. Things continued on their downward spiral from there, his car had refused to start, the mechanics were late and then he arrived at work over an hour and a half late.

He sighed as he rubbed his forehead, cheek and chin; he had been in Principal Figgins office with a girl he had never seen before sitting in the chair next to him. "Is that alright with you?"

"Is what alright?" He replied in a sort of daze, looking up at him.

"William!" Principal Figgins groaned, extending his name like he would always do when he was annoyed. "Have you not been listening?" William's mouth opened the slightest and he turned to look at the girl next to him before looking back at Principal Figgins again. "This is Alyssa! She will be joining the glee club! It is about time we got her out of here! Two years, William! It is enough!"

William once more turned his attention back to the girl next to him; she had black, baggy jeans and a baggy sweater on, hood up of course, covering basically all of her. She was slouched down in the chair, arms folded across her chest, eyes down. "Um. Yeah sure."

"This is your last year, William, if the glee club do not win, there won't be another one." He rested back in his chair before waving his hands in front of himself, as if telling them to leave now.

William watched as the girl leaned down and grabbed her backpack before standing up and heading out the door, he quickly scrambled after her. "So." He called while she pushed open the large glass doors that lead to Principal Figgins' assistant's office. "It's good to hear you will be joining the glee club, we'd love to have you."

She stopped her quickened pace and turned sharply to look at him, regardless of the fact he couldn't really see her because of the hood. "I am only joining the stupid glee club because I don't really have a say in the matter." She turned back around and continued walking down the hallway, throwing her backpack over her shoulder as she went.

William sighed as she disappeared around the corner, great, another drama queen; as if he needed anymore of those. He turned and headed off to his second class for the day, glee club was the only thing he found himself looking forward too these days.

The day passed slowly, like always. Not many of the kids ever actually payed attention to his Spanish lessons, although he did realise Alyssa was in one of his Spanish classes, the same one that Finn, Puck and Mike were in. She sat up towards the back of the room, alone and her hood still up.

He made his way to the Choir room once the day had finally moved along, a smile finally coming across his features. He clasped his hands together once he entered, seeing his faith group of teens. "Mister Schuester!" Rachel called out as soon as he entered.

"Yes, Rachel?" He replied taking the strap of his shoulder before placing his bag next to the piano. She opened her mouth to speak but a knock on the door stopped her, all heads turned to look towards the door. "Alyssa, its good you're here." He waved her in before turning to the glee club. "Guys this is Alyssa, our newest member."

"Dude, that's a chick?" Puck asked curiously while he lent back in his chair, next to Lauren.

"You couldn't tell with those horrid clothes on." Santana added she was looking down at her nails.

She ignored the comments as she made her way to a chair in the back corner, dropping her bag next to it and slouching into the chair and once again her arms instantly folded. William shook his head but turned to Rachel. "What were you saying, Rachel?"

Although Rachel could be too full on for most people, sometimes even for him, he always loved that her face lit up when it had anything to do with the glee club. He listened to her go on about ideas for the up coming sectionals, they had only just lost Regionals to the Warblers, it was a blow that hit them hard but this year they were ready to go all the way.

As the glee club continued he found himself checking on Alyssa every now and then, she didn't move from her seat, not even a bob along to the rest of the glee club singing a song together. As soon as the glee club had been dismissed for the day she was the first one out the door and gone. He couldn't help feeling like she wasn't going to change her attitude towards the glee club without him keeping on her back about it.

"Mister Schuester, why did she even join the glee club? As a leader of this club-"

"Rachel." He sighed out stopping her in her tracks. "She is here because she has to be, now excuse me."

He made his way towards the car park, another day had ended and he found himself dreading returning to an empty house again. He drug into his trouser pocket for his keys before finding them and pulling them into his grasp, he glanced up to see if he could catch a glimpse of his car but instead he saw Alyssa. He stopped walking and looked up at her, a frown folding onto his face; she didn't seem to be paying attention as she headed for the car park. She took a step out onto the road, not taking any notice of the big yellow bus heading towards her.

William's eyes widened and he bolted towards her, dropping his keys unconsciously. He had reached her in an instant, pulling back on her sweater and ripping her out of harms way, she crashed into him before taking them both down onto the hard ground with a thump. He landed on top of her, hands either side of her, her eyes were wide as she stared up at him; she had the brightest blue eyes. The bus went passed them, beeping loudly and clearly angrily as it did so. "Are you okay?" He breathed out staring down at her.

She nodded slowly. "I didn't see it."

He carefully climbed off her and sat on the grassy path just next to her, letting out a sigh of relief, she sat up hood falling from of her head in the process, and long black ringlets reviled them. He didn't expect her to be this beautiful, not that he should be taking note of it. She had black hair that was in loose ringlets, it went down her back ending just before her bottom, her eyes were the brightest blue and her skin was pale. "I'm just glad you're alright."

She ran her hand through her hair and breathed. "Thank you, Mister Schuester."

He sent her a smile reaching his hand back into his pocket in search of his keys, but when he couldn't feel them he shut his eyes and groaned. "Give me a break."

"Is everything alright?" She asked leaning forward enough to look at him, hair falling over her shoulder.

He turned to look at her; he met her eyes straight away. "I think I lost my keys." He sighed out turning his head enough to glance over his shoulder. "Must have lost them back when I ran for you."

"Oh." She glanced down at the small black wrist watch that was strapped to her right wrist; she pulled back her bottom lip with her teeth for a moment. "I'll help… I mean…you did save my life. Although I don't know how I can ever repay you…"

He got to his feet, dusting himself off before holding his hand out for her. "I know a way."

She stared at his hand for a moment, until her eyes moved up to meet his. "How?" She asked softly, her hand moved slowly up to his, almost shaking as she carefully took his hand into hers.

He pulled her to her feet in one swift pull, she had been lighter then he was expecting and he had yanked her up a little too hard, crashing her against his chest. "Sorry!" He said as soon as it happened, pulling her from his chest.

"It's okay." She answered quietly, her eyes darted to the ground.

"You give glee club a chance. Turn up tomorrow without hiding, they made be an odd bunch at first but they can be great friends." He turned around and walked back where he came, scanning the ground as he went.

Alyssa raised an eyebrow but followed. "Without hiding?" She repeated her tone quizzical.

"Change your clothes." He replied he took slow steps, scanning the area around him. "Come out of your shell a little more."

She placed her hands on her hips, her brow folded into a frown. "What's wrong with the way I dress?"

He turned back around to face her. "You dress that way to become invisible. I only just noticed you take Spanish class."

"Atorníllele! Yo no necesito que me aviso" She snapped in an irritated tone. "I'm the only person in that class that pays attention!"

"I didn't mean to offend." He sighed; this day wasn't going well at all.

She glared at him. "Culo!" She turned sharply on her heels and stomped off.

"Watch your language!" It was a pathetic call out and he knew it, he slapped his forehead with his palm and groaned.

He had searched for his keys until the sky began to darken, but he had no luck. He managed to break into his car, damaging the passenger door, and climb into the back seat. He placed his arm over his forehead and stared at the roof of his car, he prayed that tomorrow would be a better day because he wasn't sure if he could handle another bad day.


A gentle knock on his window startled him awake, causing him to bash his head on the car door; he groaned and rubbed the top of his head. "Did I scare you?" A soft voice called from outside his car window.

He looked out the window to see Emma wiping the hand she used to knock with a moist towel. "Emma." A smile appeared instantly on his face as he scooted towards the door to open it for her.

She smiled and held up a set of keys in front of him. "That Alyssa girl had found them and asked if I could give them to you. I can see what you and the glee club have done for her already!"

"What?" William asked, hand still gently rubbing his head.

She simply smiled and handed him his car keys. "It is getting late; perhaps we can talk more over lunch?"

He smiled warmly back at her. "Sounds good, Emma."

She nodded and turned to head in towards the school building. William carefully climbed out of the car and gave a large stretch; he was defiantly getting too old to sleep in the back of a car. He reached for his tie and moved his hands to tighten it but also straighten it up; it was time to start another day at Mckinley high.

Just as he feared, the day had dragged on, not much better from yesterday. He had a teaching break half way through the day so he could grade papers, not that it was one of his favourite thing to do but he had come across Alyssa's paper, she was indeed very good at Spanish, so good she had even corrected one of his questions in bright red ink. Lunch with Emma had been a slight highlight, it would have been better if she didn't speak about her and Carl and their new happy lives together, not that he wasn't happy for her.

It was finally time for his favorite part of the day- Glee Club. He walked into the Choir room like always, he took his bag off his shoulder and placed it next to the piano and glanced at each one of his pupils; he was a little disappointed to see that Alyssa hadn't turned up. "Right I've got a few ideas for our song at sectionals."

"No original songs this time." Santana spoke up taking a smug glance at Rachel, who screwed her nose up in reply.

"Be fair, they were good." Finn shot back, standing up for his ex girlfriend, almost instantly.

"Original chips taste like sea water." Brittany added giving her famous blank look to William.

Santana pulled a face at Brittany's stupidity while Artie simply patted his girlfriends' hand, patronizing to most, but not to Brittany who sent him a sweet smile. "Yo, Mister Schu, two new chicks in two days?" Puck spoke up while he looked towards the door.

William turned around to look towards the door, he almost didn't recognize her himself. "Alyssa…" He stared at her for a moment. "…It's good you decided to come back." She was wearing a pink thigh length dress with a brown jacket which had short sleeves; her hair was left out in loose ringlets while her dark make-up around her eyes made the color of them brighter.

"Sorry I'm late Mister Schuster." She said softly before clearing her throat uncomfortably and making her way across the room towards the chairs.

"Who are you trying to impress?" Santana spoke up. "Better not be my man."

"You don't have a man." Quinn shot back, giving Sam's hand a squeeze.

"That's enough, guys!" William called out, frowning; he had noticed an odd bruise on the back of Alyssa's leg but shook his head. "That's alright, Alyssa. Alright now, songs." He rubbed his hands together in excitement.

"Mister Schu, they are going to be newer songs, right?" Quinn asked resting her elbows on her knees, resting her head on her hands.

"Do I get a solo this time?" Mercedes asked placing her hands on her hips, even though she was sitting down. "Clearly we are going wrong somewhere."

"And we all know where." Santana added sending another smug look at Rachel.

Rachel mouth gaped for a moment or two before she grew angry. "I have more talent then most of you put together!" She rose to her feet and got to the ground floor in a huff.

"Well you have been demanding the solos all the time, Rachel and we don't seem to be getting anywhere." Quinn added leaning back in her chair.

Alyssa sat back in her chair with her arms crossed against her chest and simply watched them fight it out. "Guys come on." William sighed, holding out his hands as if signalling them to stop.

"If you all think you can win this without me, and then go ahead!" Rachel growled sending a glare towards Santana before stomping out dramatically but not without a flick of her hair.

"Yep." Quinn stated suddenly placing her hand back onto Sam's knee. "Less impact the more times she does it."

"Guys come on." William once again sighed; he was getting rather sick of sighing. "Finn can you talk Rachel back in?"

Finn rose to his feet, hands instantly going into his football jacket pockets. "Sure, Mister Schu."

"Thank you Finn." He nodded his head before turning back to face the group. "Mercedes, you will be getting a solo."

Mercedes fist pumped in her excitement, a smile from ear to ear crossing her lips. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

The rest of glee club went on smoothly enough; Alyssa still didn't move, speak or participate in anyway so he had asked her to stay behind. Rachel had returned with Finn halfway through and once Glee club had ended for the day she had decided to stay back and talk to him about all her ideas while Alyssa simply waited like she was asked to do.

"I'm sorry about Rachel, when she gets talking she tends not to stop." He spoke while bending down to pick up his bag.

Alyssa sent him a small smile. "That's okay; she seems very enthusiastic about what she does… Not to mention she's incredibly talented."

"And she knows it too." He laughed quietly, more to himself then anyone before he made his way over to her. "Tell me. Why were you forced to join Glee?"

She raised an eyebrow and unfolded her arms. "You don't know?"

He took a seat just next to her. "No, care to fill me in?"

She gently rubbed the back of her neck, moving her hair back along with it, that's when he notice a strange dark bruise along her collarbone. "I've been held back like… two years now I think… I'm nineteen this year." She sighed and leaned back into the chair. "I'm not stupid… it's more my absences."

"Why so many?" William noticed her eyes dart away from his and her body had stiffened.

"It's not important." She answered quietly; it was barely above a whisper. "I just was."

"I know you're not stupid, you aced my Spanish test." He sent her a smile. "I noticed you even corrected me."

She shrugged and leant back into the chair. "It was a minor one… computer glitch I bet…"

He smiled again before leaning back into the chair next to him and looking out over the choir room. "I'm glad you did what I asked… You're still not out of your shell yet but I think within a week or two you will be." He titled his head to look towards her. "Why did you change? I thought you took it the wrong way last night."

She stayed silent for a moment, making the room a little uncomfortable. She leaned forward keeping her gaze on the large piano. "You did save me from getting hit by a bus… no one else would have noticed… its thanks I guess." She glanced down at her watch and once her eyes landed on the time she jumped up, knocking the chair over; it hit the ground with a loud bang. "Shit… I have to go now, Mister Schuster." She said whilst she rushed off, it was in such a hurry that she had forgotten her bag.

William noticed the small backpack on the floor. "Alyssa, wait!" He called out as he bent down and picked it up. He got to his feet and chased after her, not that he really knew where she had gone. He reached the front of the school; he caught sight of her running down the pathway. "Alyssa, wait!" He called out as loud as he could. "You forgot your bag!"

She stopped and turned around to face him, she watched as he jogged towards her holding out her bag. "Oh. Thank you." She said taking a hold of the straps before turning sharply on her heels and about ready to bolt off once again. She hadn't realized he was still holding onto the other strap and was pulled backwards, stumbling over herself.

He grabbed her around the waist before she crashed into him and took them both down. "Whoa, are you alright?" He gently put her back onto her feet. "Where you off to in such a rush?"

She ran her hand through her black locks, pushing them back. "I was supposed to be home like two hours ago. I have to go."

He saw her about ready to run off again and grabbed onto her wrist to stop her. "It's my fault you're so late, I'll drop you off."

She shook her head, almost violently. "No its okay."

"I insist, where do you live?" He didn't wait for an answer as he practically dragged her towards his car. "I'll explain to your parents that I kept you back."

Alyssa groaned but her feet moved her to wherever William was taking her. "Parent." She mumbled.

He pulled out his keys and put them into the drivers' door, unlocking the car and climbing into it before opening the passengers' door from the inside. Alyssa hesitated a moment but climbed in as well. "Where do you live?"

"I'll give you directions." She murmured in reply, buckling her seat belt.

William nodded as he started up the car and backed out of the car park. "So you said parent?"

Alyssa nodded her head; she stared down at her fingers as she fiddled with them. "My mother died when I was ten… just dad now."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that." He took a glance at her before turning his attention back to the road.

"It doesn't bother me… I hardly knew the woman." She glanced up from her fingers to look out the window. "I didn't even cry at her funeral."

He wanted to ask more questions but he could tell she wanted to drop it. The drive had taken an hour, the sky had darkened and they had almost reached her home. "You walk this?"

"Everyday." She murmured in reply sinking more and more into the chair the closer they got to her house.

William pulled up to the house and placed the car in park. "Everything okay?"

"Yes." She answered all too quickly. "I'll just be going now, thank you for the lift Mister Schuster." Before she had even finished the sentence she was half way out the door, stumbling over herself. William undid his seat belt and climbed out of the car. "No! It's alright you don't need to come out, the ride was enough!"

He raised an eyebrow at her, placing his hand on top of the car door. "I drove here so I could talk to your father."

"No really! Its fine! I can explain." Her voice had elevated and a panic had come across her, he had become incredibly confused.

"Alyssa!" A voice boomed out behind them, William saw the fear that flickered in her eyes. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Please… just go." Alyssa pleaded looking up at him for a second or two. "I had to stay back dad." She finally answered turning around to start to walk towards the house but became startled once she saw he was already behind her.

He grabbed painfully onto her arm and spun her back around. "And who is this? Some boyfriend? Little slut."

"Hey now, I'm her teacher." William answered instantly, frown folding onto his face. "I dropped her home because I had kept her back late."

He sneered at him. "Don't do it again." He turned around and yanked Alyssa with him, he was holding onto her upper arm so hard his nails had started to piece her skin.

William watched as he dragged her behind him, giving her harsh pulls forward if she fell behind too much, she seemed like a rag doll in his grasp. He watched as he pulled her inside and turned to grab the door, his eyes connected with Alyssa's and he saw the pain and fear that was in her eyes until the door slammed shut.

He stood out front his car, part of him wanted to storm up to the door and knock on it just to make sure Alyssa was alright but another side of him told him to just drop it. "He's just mad she's home so late…" He thought to himself climbing back into the car.

He turned on the car and slowly backed out of the street, eyes constantly checking Alyssa's house until he turned out of the street. He tried his best to concentrate on driving but he was far too worried about Alyssa, that's when he remembered the strange bruises on her body, her unwillingness to talk about why she had so many absences and the way she wanted him to leave her house as soon as possible. He suddenly turned the car around and sped back towards Alyssa house.
