Thanks for reviewing, guys! I'm sure people forgot about it since I forgot to update as constantly as I was in the beginning... Oh well. Tell me if I should write more, I'd love to do another wild fanfic, though I'd rather do something NOT done a lot, like horror or comedy or action, you know? Fanfiction is filled with angst and drabbles, though they are my guilty pleasure. Ideas would be great!
"I don't get it -"
"Everyone I know is in there. I put everyone's address in it before I moved here... My parents, my aunts and uncles and cousins and my church's priest-"
"Your priest? You have an upside down cross tattoo, I didn't take you for a Catholic. I guess the rumours are true about Catholic girls..." he added under his breath. Emma shot Will a dirty look before walking to the closed book. With trembling hands, Emma opened it. She pressed her eyes closed as soon as she did before flipping through the pages. All over it were numerous names and addresses circled and underlined. Will walked over and took a look at it. "Y-You didn't do that?" he asked cautiously. Emma shook her head. "Will, if my parents see that tape, they'll have a heart attack!" Will hugged her firmly. "They won't see it, okay? We'll just..."
"We'll steal it back." Will looked at her crazily. "What?"
"We have to steal it back. There's no way she'll give the tapes to me without Carl." Will shook his head. "Emma, be reasonable -"
"I tried! My whole life is at risk here! What if the tape gets around school? God, imagine if the Glee Club saw it... What if the whole school saw it? I'll lose my job if Figgins even heard about it." She could tell Will wasn't convinced. "How do you know she hasn't sent them out?"
"She wants me to change my mind." She turned and looked up at Will. "If you help me, we'll do it again."
"Do what again? Oh... you mean...?" Emma nodded hopefully. She needed those tapes out of her life, and she was willing to do anything. "Emma, what you want to do, what you're asking me to help you with, is illegal. If we break into her house -"
"God, I hate that phrase. We're not breaking into anything, Will. We're... going into something without someone's knowledge." Will rolled his eyes. "Whatever you want to call it, Emma, it's still illegal. Not only that, but it's wrong, and immoral..."
"So was letting her film everything, Will. I'm not the only one on the tape. You are, too." Will blushed. "Look, I wouldn't ask you to do this if it wasn't a big deal to me. Please..." Will looked into her eyes for a moment before sighing. "Alright... But I want it twice. Once at school." Emma looked at him crazily. "Wha- No!" Will shrugged. "Then I guess we don't have a deal -"
"Okay, okay, fine. Once at school." Will grinned boyishly. "Alright. So, when do we go?" Emma thought for a minute. "We need to know when she's gonna be out of her house..." She paused before dialing a number on her phone. "Holly?" Will looked at her crazily. "It's Emma... I need those tapes gone... Even if that means losing Carl." Holly said something inaudible to Will. "Carl should be home around 10 tonight... How about you come over, and we'll all settle this?" Emma grinned at Holly's response. "I know, I don't expect you to bring them. But if we figure something out, you'll get rid of them, right? Great. Alright, I'll see you at 10." She hung up the phone and turned to Will. "I don't get it."
"She's going to my house tonight to talk to Carl and I. Or at least, she thinks she is. Carl's at a conference, he won't be home until around midnight." Will paused a moment to take all of this in. "So... We're gonna break into her place while she's at your place?" Emma nodded. "And we're gonna get the tapes."
"Emma, you do realize there's a chance of us going to jail, right?"
Fun Fact: The songs that inspired this (songs are always the inspiration for my writing, by the way!) are Not Myself Tonight by Christina Aguilera and Fix by theStart (I imagined that song playing during the club scene). Anyway, thanks for reading! I'd love to hear some feedback.
