Emma cocked the gun and pointed it at them.
Will and Rachel were so shocked but they held each other close tightly.
Emma smiled mischievously. "Well, well, well. I just came here to ask Will if he wanted to go out to dinner tonight, but look what I find instead! I just KNEW my suspicions were correct!"
Will clutched Rachel tighter to him. "Emma, what the hell do you think you're doing! Put the gun down!"
"SHUT UP WILL AND LET ME TALK!" Emma screamed back.
"Ms. Pillsbury, this isn't-"Rachel began but Emma cut her off.
"Miss Berry, I suggest you say as little as possible before I blow your brains out!"
Will closed his eyes. "How did you find out?"
Emma frowned. "I first got suspicious when I walked past the choir room the other day. I saw you and Rachel in the classroom so I was just about to go inside and say hi but then I saw you get down on one knee, Will, so I decided to watch from the sidelines." Her fragile eyes started to fill with tears. "Then I heard you say the worst words a girl with feelings as fragile as mine dreaded to hear. Why would you do this to me, Will? You know I loved you!" She then began shaking with uncontrollable sobs.
Rachel couldn't help but pity her, but she stayed quiet so she wouldn't make her even angrier.
Finally, Emma got herself together and pointed the gun again. "After that, I walked around the next few days in a delirious state, trying to process it all. Today I decided to come to your office after Glee rehearsal before you left to make sure I wasn't seeing things and look what I find!"
Will thought for a few seconds and then let go of Rachel. He started walking slowly toward Emma. "Emma, this isn't like you. The Emma I knew was sweet, funny and gentle. You don't want to turn into a psychotic killer now, don't you? Just put the gun down and let's talk about it." He noticed the scared look in her eyes and knew that he was close to breaking her. She slowly began to lower the gun, but then her instincts kicked in and she raised it again.
"Nice try, Will! You thought you could use your charm and wit to convince me to let you off easy? I don't think so! Now get your ass back over there with Rachel before I pull this trigger!"
Will sighed and walked back over to Rachel. He looked at her and could see so many emotions in her eyes: pain, pity, fear…and a hint of determination. He tried to reach out to pull her to him but Emma's eyes flashed with anger.
"Uh-uh! You stay right where you are! After this moment, you two are never gonna touch each other again!"
Rachel and Will looked defeated which gave Emma satisfaction.
"Now here's what we're gonna do. I'm going to give you until Friday to break-up this whole love fest. That gives you two days. Starting from there, I don't wanna see the two of you together, especially alone! The only time you are allowed to even just look at each other is during Spanish class and Glee. I'll be keeping a close watch on you."
Rachel looked shocked. "Ms. Pillsbury, you can't do this! We're gonna get married after I graduate!"
Emma let out a cruel laugh that didn't suit her at all. "You two are going to two exactly what I say unless you want to celebrate your wedding with Will behind bars! If I see you two together, I'm taking this straight to Principal Figgins! You don't think I know about the 'no teacher-student relationship rule'? "
Rachel started to cry. It made Will just want to forget everything Emma threatened to do and hold her close because she was scared, but he surely didn't want her to pull the trigger. "Fine, Emma. We'll do what you say. But even if we do break it off, I'm NEVER going to you or forgive you after all this."
Emma bit her lip. "I've already accepted that, Will. But this is my way of saying if I couldn't have you, NO ONE can!" She pointed the gun at Rachel. Rachel covered her face with her hands and burst out into sobs. That was exactly the reaction Emma wanted.
"Emma, stop it! You're scaring her! Why did you even bring the gun in the first place?"
Emma looked at him with the gun still pointed at Rachel. "Because I didn't want you trying to wiggle your way out of this." She looked back at Rachel. "Rachel, sweetheart, I know this is going to be tough at first, but it's what's for the best. You REALLY don't want to see the man you love deeply with all your heart behind bars because you broke the law now, do you?" Rachel shook her head. "Good, so now we're all on the same page. You can leave now, Rachel, but don't try anything!"
Rachel scrambled to get all her things together and ran out of the room. After the door closed behind her, Emma put the gun down. "I had to do this, Will. It's for your own good. You should head home. I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, she left the room, leaving Will dumbstruck. Suddenly, he thought of Rachel. She needs me! He thought, but then decided to go home first to process everything and hopefully make a plan to stop Emma.
And there you go! Jeeze…I got goosebumps and chills running up and down my spine as I wrote this! Sooo…Emma's a psycho who wants to break them up. What's gonna happen next? Stay tuned to find out! *Gosh, I feel like a TV show!*
