Two periods had flown by and Rachel had been impatient for the upcoming break. English was boring her out. Listening to Ms Hargondale was boring enough, never mind the subject. She had to write 12 VERY important text messages to write. And no one was going to stop her sending them, not even if it was against school rules.
10:54:30 Rachel read on her watch. She tapped her foot in time with each second flowing by… 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! Rachel ran out of class (first one of course) and hurried to the girls' bathroom.
Hey we need to meet up at 13:30 hours in the choir room! It's important! Rachel Berry
Rachel sent it to everyone except Finn since she already told him. She just placed her phone in her bag when all of a sudden her bag vibrated. She eagerly smiled and pulled out her phone to receive a very worded text from Santana:
We know already! We have already heard the essay from your so called 'boyfriend'! How on earth did you get my number? Ugh just never text me again! Got it!
Rachel just smiled and nothing could defeat today.
The bell had rung signalling third period. Lucky for her, she had Spanish with Mr Schuester and most of Glee. This had to be one of her favourite lessons. But it was more of her favourite today. She got her very colourful, stickered, small note book and writen down all Mr Schuester's movements and facial expressions.
This is gonna be a piece of cake!
Rachel observed. She looked to her right and romantically stared at her boyfriend Finn. She absolutely loved how they have been together since June. Meaning this was their five month anniversary very soon. She was VERY excited.
Spanish lesson was flying by very quickly. Even though Mr Schuester had given them a mid-term Spanish test, she and Finn continued passing love notes to each other. Maybe even cheating at some of the questions.
Rachel was quite impressive at Spanish getting As of A Stars in tests. Well maybe after bullying Mr Schue into giving those but even though she was good.
Rachel was just about to answer the very last question when the bell rung. NOO! Rachel thought. She had to finish the paper if she wanted an A Star… but she really couldn't come late to History class at all. Miss Johnstone killed people if they came late and Rachel was not prepared for that today. She sighed. Packing up her pencil case, she glanced around the emptying room when she saw the most amazing thing of her new plan.
The one and only Ms Pillsbury, hesitantly, tip-toed through the room to whisper something to Rachel's favourite teacher. Rachel blatantly stared at the near couple as she really tried to hear what was going on but the room was too loud. They smiled. Rachel's attitude was picking up with both Mr Schue and Ms P smiling at each other.
She smiled. She picked up her bag and raced across campus getting to H1 where her next lesson was. She had made it just in time as the class were just entering.
Now she was sat next to Quinn and Brittany. Even though they were both now Cheerios, that did not stop them from being nice to Rachel. Even though Quinn was mean at times…
Unlike Spanish, Rachel couldn't stop staring at the clock situated right in front of her. She really disliked History for an unknown reason why.
After fifty cruel minutes, Miss set an assignment on whether the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand or The Alliances was the greater cause of World War 1.
"This is gonna be a breath!" Quinn shouted. "Uhhmm, what is World War 1… I've never heard of that… well I never knew the whole country had a war…" Brittany honestly answered. Quinn and Rachel just rolled their eyes at Brittany's words. They laughed.
Once again the bell rung for lunch time. This was going to be a VERY exciting lunch!

Rachel stormed out of the classroom to quickly scoff her lunch down to be the first one down in the choir room.
Today she was lucky in the canteen. It was her favourite spaghetti carbonora. But sometimes she really hated it as it took forever to wash out when people tipped her tray into her face… she remembers a moment like that when she was in a wheel chair…
"Hey Sweetie!" Finn gave Rachel a lop-sided grin. "Heyy! Are you nearly ready to get to the choir room?" "Of course! I'm all for it as you know!" Finn then winked making Rachel's heart flutter like he always did.
They sat opposite each other away from everyone else and enjoyed their lunch in comfortable silence.

Emma squeezed a pea sized amount of lemon scented Purell and straightened out her set of pencils and stationery items on her desk. She heard a tiny knock on her glass office. She raised her head to see…
Carl.
"Carl… what-what are you doing here?" Emma stuttered.
"Hi Emma… I came here to say I'm extremely sorry for the way I reacted that night. I mean it was like my body just got took over by the devil on my shoulder. I know you don't love Will! He has done the most heart-breaking thing that I could possibly imagine…"Carl said with a straight face but Emma was quick to react.
"What are you getting at Carl? I broke up with you for a reason" Emma explained.
"I came here to say… I love you Emma. You are the cutest, sweetest girl I have ever met in my whole life! A-and I was wrong and stupid for letting you go so easily…" Emma swallowed a lump down her throat. She did not want to hear this, not now, not this week, not… ever.
"Carl… I don't need this right now." Emma tried to get out of her office but Carl grabbed her wrist violently so her feet wouldn't move.
"I-I want to get back together with you Emma… my life really sucks without you inside it… so would you like to go out with me again?" Carl pleaded and raised him voice at the end.
Emma stared at the ground of her office and stood there for a few moments before piping up.
"No Carl… I can't not now… not ever! I know who I'm meant to be with and it has taken me six months to realise that the person who I'm in love with will never stop fighting for me! I need you to understand that… So… I would like you to leave!" Emma piped up.
"Fine then you disobedient wretch!" Here was the angry Carl she had already recalled a few days ago. Now he was shouting wildly. Students who were walking past her office stared into the sudden, but not sudden, break out.
She just wanted that man to find her and defend her from this beast yelling in front of her. But that wasn't going to happen, not one bit. Everything wasn't a fairy tale as both Will and Emma imagined. It was more of a rocky rollercoaster and not knowing when it was going to do a loop-de-loop or a very hard left turn.
So here she was, looking beyond Carl, seeing her life rollercoaster. It was the most horrible rollercoaster she had even been on. It was too many loop-de-loops for her comfort, or in fact anyone's.
Carl was now verbally abusing her. She just ignored him and wondered the world of Will and her on a road to much romance.
All of a sudden, Carl violently grabbed her wrist before dragging her down to the unclean floor of her office. Before kicking her like a flat football. Emma was wincing in pain. Tears flooded down her cheeks with the outrage.
Students' mouths' opened in shock. All quickening up their pace but not telling anyone of this violence occurring with their once again beloved guidance councillor.
But then, Rachel walked by confused with all the horrified looks on peoples' faces and she looked inside Miss P's office. She stared in horror as she was getting more beaten every second. A single tear ran down her face in her dismay. Snapping out of the gaze, she quickly went to grab the nearest teacher within sight.
Of course, it wasn't just any teacher. She had to grab the one that she knew had to be close to Miss P.
That person was Will Schuester.
"Woah, Woah Rachel! What's happened?" Will said confused. "erm… Emma-Dr Howell… Violence… screaming, crying-" Rachel said with a shaking discomforted voice. But before she could continue, Mr Schue was running as fast as possible to her office.
Rachel couldn't stop shaking and tried to text everyone immediately:
GET DOWN TO MISS PS OFFICE! NOW! DR HOWELL IS PUNCHING HER VIOLENTLY!
Rachel stressed. Automatically getting 11 replies back within a few seconds. Here are a few of the replies:
WTF? Ugh that Howell is gonna get a punch up the nose! I'm coming! From Puck
Omg… dear is she ok? Well of course not! I'll be down in like a minute! xXx From Finn
And many of Glee sent their distress too.

Will ran as fast as his legs could carry him towards the glass paned office. He stopped. It was the most horrifying experience anyone could possibly see.
Blood was splattered on the floor, as Carl repeatedly kicked her in the stomach. Everyone crowded round the office all too afraid to act or call the police. But Will couldn't just let the love of his life die… right here, right now.
He quickly pulled out his cell phone and dialled 911 as tears rolled down his face. He talked to the police and asked them to send an ambulance.
It was a disastrous sight. But bravely, he waltzed into the office grabbing Carl away from Emma as she struggled to pull herself to the corner. Trying to get away from the upcoming fight.
Carl threw the first punch at Will's face. A cut formed into the crack of his lip. He didn't want to start a fight… especially in school. Plus, Emma was probably watching but trying to hold onto her life as it held by a thread.
Will never threw a punch, his target was just to defend Emma and get him backed off so the police (whenever they would come) could arrest him.
He decided to quickly glance around the room where he saw every single member of Glee in positions like statues. He found some rope that Puck gave Mr Schue to tie Carl up to a chair. With that he pushed him into the seat, tied his legs together and his hands attached to the arm of the chair. Tying the rope securely, he moved over to Emma who had a blood stained patch on the front of her blue blouse.
Will started crying with every emotion in his body. He lifted up her blouse to reveal her open wound. He gathered an emergency first aid kit which he knew Emma kept in her filing cabinet. Looking through it, he found a few wipes and started to remove the blood running from her stomach. Will could feel she was becoming lighter headed as the minutes flew by.
Taking away most of the blood, he put the wipes into the bin and wrapping a bandage around her stomach as lightly as he could without hurting her.
Emma fell unconscious in Wills arms as he cradled her. Many of the Glee Club entered the office and looked at Emma and Will quietly hummed a peaceful tune:
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your sides
I'll wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you…
Emma laid their quietly as her whole life was all around her…
A/N I hope you liked it!
