Sorry for the update delay, I was seriously busy.

"Jail? Will...are you actually serious...I mean...if this is your idea of a joke, it is not a funny one."Emma yelled.

"I'm not kidding Em."Will muttered, holding the jail phone at arm's length to avoid bursting an eardrum.

"But you're in JAIL Will! What the HELL did you do?"Emma screeched down the phone.

Will groaned. He'd forgotten, in his panic, how worried and panicky Emma could be.

"Look Em...It's a long story, ok?

"Fine. So what do you want me to do?"

"Can you pick me up at the jail?"Will begged.

Emma smiled. It felt nice to be...well, needed.

"I suppose. I might as well, since you've woken me up. Anything else? A pillow, something to read perhaps?"Emma replied sarcastically.

Will hesitated."Actually...I need someone to actually pay to bail me out."

Emma froze."How...how much?" she stammered.

"Emm...well...its 200$."Will muttered.

"200$? Are you serious? Will, I don't have that kind of money with me."

"Please Em? I'll pay you back; I just can't really...get the money right now."Will let out a little laugh.

"Alright. I'll see you a few minutes." she replied.

Will let out a breath he hadn't realise he had been holding."Thank you Emma. Thank you."

"See you soon Will."Emma sighed.

Emma trudged upstairs to her bedroom. She quickly changed into and old jumper and an old dress she wore rarely, vowing to take a long shower on her return. She would have one now, but the water took about 6 hours to heat up, because the boiler wasn't working properly.

Ugh...it's too early to be awake. I should ring the boiler company later and get that fixed. Just in case.

Emma walked slowly downstairs, grabbed her keys, and crept out the door. She sat in her car, started the engine, and began the drive to Lima Jail.

30 minutes later, Emma arrived at the jail. She parked the car outside the jail wall, locked the car, and walked to the electric gate. She spotted the guard, and approached him cautiously. Under the lamp shining over the gate, Emma recognised Derek Howell, Carl's brother.

Crap, crap, crap. This is not good. Please God, don't let him recognise me.

Emma pulled up the hood of her jumper, and faced Derek." Excuse me, sir, could you direct me to the main desk?" she asked politely.

Derek faced Emma. He stared menacingly at her, but thankfully he didn't seem to recognise her.

"Straight ahead, first gate on the left. Enjoy your stay, madam." he muttered sarcastically.

"Thank you."Emma mumbled. The electric gate buzzed, and Emma walked quickly through the yard. She reached the main door and spotted the main desk in the corner. She approached the woman sitting at the desk. She was reading a magazine.

Damn, what do I say? It's not like this is normal...I wonder how many germs..., relax, deep breaths , out, in, can do this.

"Ahem."Emma coughed. The receptionist put down the magazine and raised an eyebrow."Can I help you, honey?"

Relax Emma, you can do this.

"Em...well...yes...I'm looking for Will Schuester?"Emma said.

The receptionist chuckled."Schuester? Interesting name." She turned to the computer sitting on the desk and typed something in presumably Will's name. Minutes later, the computer pinged, and the receptionist said, "Honey, he's in cell 28."She looked at me suspiciously."Visiting or bailing?" she enquired."Um...Bail...bailing." she stuttered. She held out her hand."200$ then, if you don't mind."Slowly, Emma reached into her bag and pulled out four 50$ notes and handed them to the receptionist. She placed them in a safe under the desk."Come with me." she stood up, and walked over to the electric entered a code, and we went down the corridor.

After about 10mins, we arrived at his cell. It was cold, dark and cramped in his cell, and he didn't seem to notice me. The receptionist yelled into the cell."Get up!"Will turned to face us. The look of sheer desperation changed to joy as he saw Emma standing outside his cell."Emma!" he receptionist sniggered as Emma opened the cell door, and watched as Will rushed into Emma's giggled."Ready to leave?" she whispered laughed and whispered,"It wasn't actually all that bad."We ran through the jail, giggling, as if we were breaking out of jail.

They reached the main gate within minutes, but as they went to run thought the gate, they were stopped by the security guard, Derek Howell.

If he recognises me this time, I'm , not really, I just have some explaining to do...Ugh, but that would be time-consuming, and probably awkward. Please, please, PLEASE don't let him recognise me.

Derek stepped in front of Will and Emma."Excuse me, where are you two going? he grunted."Out of jail. Bail has been paid. Check with the main desk if you don't believe me. The name is Schuester."Will grinned. Derek started to speak rapidly into his walkie talkie. Then he smirked."Alright, you can go."Will smiled."Thanks." he grabbed Emma's hand and they ran quickly to Emma's ,Will climbed into the passenger seat,and Emma slipped into the driver's pushed the key into the ignition,and her car roared to drove in silence,until Emma dared to ask the question that had been annoying her since the phone call.

"Will? Are...are you awake?" she whispered. Will sat up in his seat."Whoa...What's happening? Where are we?"Will said tiredly. Emma smiled timidly."Will, we're outside your house. I just asked you why...why you were in jail..."Will stared at he got out of the car,opened Emma's door,and said"It's easier if I tell you inside, if you don't mind."Emma nodded silently, and followed him into his house.

Will shut the door, and walked into the kitchen."Can you get you anything, Emma? Tea, Coffee?" he called."Coffee would be great, thanks Will."Minutes later, Will brought in the coffee, and sat next to her on the couch."This is a little complicated, alright?"He took a deep breath."Promise me something. Promise you won't kill me. Promise me you won't get mad."His hazel brown eyes gazed deep into Emma's own hazel eyes."Ok, so that was a few promises." he laughed."You see, Emma...I...I'm a really bad , in a drink a couple of beers, well, I just lose control. I lash out at people, I...I've done awful things I don't usually remember them."A tear slid down his cheek.

I can't watch this. He must have done something awful. If he's this upset, I can't push him for answers. This is going to be one long night, Emma. You can do ? You love him.

"It's ok Will."Emma smiled."You know you can tell me anything."Will smiled."That's what friends are for, I suppose." he mumbled.

Yes. Friends. That horrible, heart-breaking, seven letter word.

"Ok.I was in jail because...I... I broke into Carl's house. I smashed some stuff."

Emma looked horrified."Please, hear me out Em.I...After you left with Carl...I...I was heart-broken.I mean..."he said angrily,"Why didn't you tell me yourself? I thought we were friends Emma? No, more than that. I love you Emma!"He stood up, walked over to the door. Emma walked out the door to her car. She gazed at Will. She got into the car, and slowly drove away from his house. Will gathered up his courage. As Emma was about to turn off his road, Will scream,"I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME TOO, EMMA PILLSBURY!"Then he shut the door, and went to bed.

On the road just outside Will's estate, Emma Pillsbury drove home slowly.

That night, two people in Lima, Ohio, cried themselves to sleep, dreaming for what should have been.

AT THE PRISON...

"Damn Carl, pick up your frickin' phone."Derek Howell muttered. The phone rang and rang, until, finally, Derek heard a voice on the other end."He...Hello? Derek? What's wrong?"Carl whispered."You know the guy that broke into your house? His last name is Schuester. He was bailed out a few minutes ago by some red-haired chick. Actually...she looked sort of like..."Derek stopped.

"Emma."Carl whispered sadly.
