Back In The Lima Hospital Waiting Room...

The girls and Kurt were still waiting around to hear any news of their friend's condition. To their surprise, Will Schuster, and Emma Pillsbury came walking into the room."Hey you guys", said Will.

"Hi Mr. Shue", said Brittany, cheerfully." Is Jade alright", asked Emma.

"We haven't heard yet", said Rachel, sadley."How did you know she was here", asked Kurt." Mercedes told me", said Will.

"Geez, if that girl got paid for texting, she'd be a millionaire by now",said Quinn.

"What happened", asked Emma, and everybody looked at Santana once again." I can't...not yet, I'm sorry", she said.

"Santana", said Quinn impatiently.

"Not yet Q", snapped Santana.

"What exactly is it that your waiting for", asked Rachel.

"For her. I need to know that she'll be okay first", said Santana." That's fair",said Kurt.

Quinn just shook her head. Will and Emma sat down." Well, not that I should be admitting this, but I know it had something to do with her family",said Emma." How did you know that", asked Santana." With all due respect Santana, if I didn't know things about students, I wouldn't be doing my job", said Emma. Her and Will looked at one another, knowing exactly what the other one was thinking. About their relationships with Jade.

Mr. Shuster walked down the dark hallways of McKinley High. It was late, and he was absolutely heart broken. Confused as to why he actually fell in love with a such a crazy, possessive, psychotically evil women. As he approached the choir room he heard guitar music playing. He peeked into the room, and saw a dark figure sitting on top of the piano, playing music. He quietly opened the door and took a few steps inside. It was Jade. He was about to say something but, she started to sing.

"I tried to be perfect,

But nothing was worth it,

I don't believe it makes me real.

I thought it'd be easy,

But no one believes me,

I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it's in my soul

I'd say all the words that I know

Just to see if it would show,

That I'm trying to let you know,

That I'm better off on my own.

This place is so empty,

My thoughts are so tempting,

I don't know how it got so bad.

Sometimes it's so crazy,

that nothing can save me,

But it's the only thing that I have.

If you believe it's in my soul,

I'd say all the words that I know,

Just to see if it would show,

That I'm trying to let you know,

That I'm better off on my own."

She stopped, because she felt like somebody was watching her. She turned and saw Will standing there.

"Oh, hey Mr. Schuster", she said, jumping down from the piano.

"Jade...that was good. Remind me again why your not in Glee Club. Your always hanging around them, why not just join", he asked.

"I wish I could, but I can't. I'm sorry", said Jade, and she sniffled. Will was concerned. The song she was singing although sung well, was rather depressing. He reached to switch on the light." No wait...", said Jade, but the light was on and Will's jaw dropped. Jade's eye's were really puffy, and she had dark black lines running down her face from her tears. She had dried blood all over her skin, and what looked like scratches on her arms and neck." Jesus, did you get a in fight", asked Will.

"Look, I shouldn't be here, I need to go", said Jade picking her bag up. Will stepped in front of her."Jade,who did that to you", he said. Jade couldn't help it, she grabbed onto Will and hugged him tight." Your not going to tell me, are you", he said as he held her." No. But, I needed the hug. Thank you Mr. Schuster...", she said. And she slipped passed him, and ran down the hall.

The next day, the Glee kids were standing listening to Will tell them about how because he had slept one of the mattress they had gotten for the commercial they shot. He was no longer allowed to take them to sectionals. They were all very upset of Corse, but after one of his obnoxious yet inspiring little pep talks, they seemed to be alright. After he was done, they were all about to go get their photos taken for the yearbook, but Will stopped the three Cherrios."Girls, have you seen Jade today", he asked quietly." She's out sick. She texted me this morning and said she has the flu", said Quinn.

"Ew",said Santana. Will shook his head.

"Why, do you miss her Mr. Shue", asked Brittany.

"Um...okay, obviously I'm concerned, you know that. So, I'll just ask. What do you know about her life outside of school", he asked.

"Don't look at me, I don't talk to emo screamo", said Santana.

"Her family owns a bar...and I think she has a couple older siblings...why", asked Quinn." Nothing, no reason. I was just wondering", said Will, and he smiled before walking away.

"Something is going on", said Quinn."Yeah, like it matters, can we just go get this photo bullshit over with already, please", said Santana, as she grabbed Brittany's hand. After school let out that day, Will went to Emma's office." Hello Will", she greeted, as he took a seat in front of her desk." How's your day", he asked." Just like any other day, but it's better now I suppose".

Will nodded slowly." Is something wrong", she asked." Does Jade Price ever...come in here to talk to you about anything", he asked.

"Just once. Nothing serious though, she was just here for a friend, who didn't want to speak with me alone. The friend ended up running out, but I talked with Jade for while. She was more concerned about her friend, but she did talk a little bit about herself. The only information I was able to gather about her, is that she has always been unhappy that her and her family are so much different from each other", said Emma.

"Oh", said Will." What's the matter", asked Emma." I didn't think I'd run into anyone that late in the choir room, but I got here last night, and there she was. I think she got beat up", said Will."Oh wow. How do you know she was beat up", asked Emma." She was a mess. I mean, she had scratches and blood all over the place, and it looked like she had been crying pretty hard. Also, she was singing a really sad song",said Will." Well, I hope she's alright. I can try to talk to her. But, you know she may have just gotten in a cat fight",said Emma.

"Yeah, I thought the same thing, but there was just something about the way she was acting that rubbed me the wrong way. Jade Price is...ridiculously happy all the time. Last night was the first time I had ever seen her in that kind of mood",said Will.

Emma nodded." Well, let's just hope that there isn't anything too serious going on", she said. As they talked, neither of them noticed that Santana was listening from outside Emma's office.
