"First place at this years regional's go to…. McKinley High - New Directions!" The man gave the trophy to Will and they all cheered and jumped. All those weeks of rehearsing finally paid off. They walked backstage and Will gave everyone a hug and they congratulated each other on the win.

"Diner around the corner." Will stated.

"Diner? We already had dinner."

Will shook his head. "Milkshakes, I'd buy you guys a drink if you were allowed to drink."

"We won't tell." Puck smiled at him. "We'll keep it to ourselves."

"Milkshakes, who's in?"

Daphne grabbed her coat. "I'd kill for a chocolate shake."

Mercedes nodded and grabbed her coat as well. "Chocolate sounds good."

Everyone grabbed their coat and looked at Puck. "Sure, I'll give it a little kick when Mr Schue isn't watching."

…

They put a couple of tables together in the diner and sat down. "Hey," Puck said after a while, he was sitting besides Daphne. "So you were pretty good today."

"Thanks." She smiled at him. "It's a team effort though. Mercedes was a-ma-zing."

"Yeah, but without your Defying Gravity.." He moved his chair over closer. "So, you're the only girl in school I haven't made out with."

"Seriously, is that supposed to make me want you?" She said a little too loud, causing everyone to look at them. She hadn't noticed, she was focused on Puck. She shoved him back in his chair and moved hers closer to Will's. "Oh Puckerman, you're a man-whore. Take me, take me now." Will cleared his throat. She blushed and looked around.

"Ouch Puck, " Santana said. "Even the dwarf took that offer. You're losing your swag."

"Okay guys, I think it's time for bed. We have a bus leaving tomorrow around noon."

They walked back to the hotel and got back in their rooms. Will said goodbye to everyone and went to his own room. Daphne laid down in bed for what felt like an hour, she gave up and decided to see if the roof was accessible. It was nice and warm outside anyway.

She put a pair of sneakers on under her pajama shorts, quietly walked outside and closed the door behind her. She took the elevator to the top floor and was glad to see the hotel didn't lock the door to the roof. She came up there and was surprised to see someone else, she wanted to turn around and leave, but then she saw it was Will.

"Hey." She said as she walked closer to him.

He looked up, surprised. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Same as you, probably." She stood next to him, looking out over the city. "Didn't expect anyone here."

"Me neither, I told all my students to go to bed." He looked at what she was wearing. "Looks like you listened for about 10 seconds."

"Couldn't sleep, my head was full. Didn't want to wake anyone, tossing and turning. What about you?"

"Same, sort of. What is your head full with?"

She shrugged. "Stuff, you?"

"Today would've been my wedding anniversary."

"Did something happen to your wife?"

He chuckled. "We got a divorce, she faked a pregnancy."

"What, why? How?"

"She was afraid I was falling in love with someone else, she knew I wanted a family. She was going to adopt Quinn's baby without me knowing and tell me it's mine."

"Wow. She sounds like a... not so nice person."

"A bitch? Yeah." He noticed she looked puzzled. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're nice, funny, attractive and you're an amazing singer and dancer. Why did you settle?" She watched his face, and realized how inappropriate that question was. "I'm sorry that's a really personal question."

"It's okay, she was my first love. High school sweethearts, we dated all through college and then we got married." He shrugged. "I didn't notice she slowly turned into the bitch. It was bit by bit, looking back on it though.. You asked me something personal, can I ask you something personal?"

She nodded. "Shoot."

"After the final song, everyone's face read relief and joy. Yours didn't, you looked sad."

"I was." Tears were starting to form.

He looked into her eyes. "Because the concert was over?"

She shook her head. "Because I miss my parents." She wiped away a couple of tears. "I'm sorry.." She started crying and Will pulled her into a hug.

"For crying?"

She nodded but didn't say anything, just continued to cry. He rubbed her back soothingly. "Nothing to apologize for." He waited until the crying subsided, but she was still holding onto him. "You okay?"

She pulled back and nodded. "Thanks, for-"

"Any time. When did they pass?" He guessed it must be fresh.

"About two months ago. I was in the car with them. Dad died instantly but I could hear my mom crying in pain. I was pinned in the backseat, I tried to get out so hard. If only I could've managed to get out, I might have been able to save her.. It's my-"

Will interrupted her. "Don't. It's not your fault, I'm sure you did everything you could."

"I didn't even break anything, how can that be? I only got this dumb scar." She pointed to her forehead.

He brushed some hair out of the way and took a good look. "Looks like it was a nasty head wound."

"It was, superficial though. I moved here and transferred to McKinley."

He suddenly realized he was her teacher, something he kept forgetting with her. Whether it was tutoring her in Spanish or moments like this. He took a step back and smiled at her. "I think it's time for bed."

Her brow furrowed. "Did I say something? Did I offend you in any way? Because, if so.." She let her sentence trail off.

"No, don't worry." He smiled, and chastised himself for getting off track again. "It's just.. I'm your teacher, standing so close to you while we're dressed like this.. not really appropriate."

She smiled, relieved she didn't do anything. "You're absolutely right." She also took a step back. "I'm just so comfortable around you."

He nodded, not saying that he was thinking the exact same thing. "Let's go back down."

A/N So, that's it for this chapter. Did you like it? Any things you want to see?
