So I forgot to write this; but the song from chapter 4 was "Running" by No Doubt.
The two songs in this chapter are "Forever" by Chris Brown, and "Drops of Jupiter" by Train.
About two months has passed by between Chapter 5 and now; this is a little fluffier chapter, filled with kindness and light moments :)
I enjoy this one a little bit, hopefully you will too!
Will Schuester stepped out of his car, feeling on top of the world; he had everything. The perfect job, the perfect girlfriend, even glee was going excellent…and now he had the perfect apartment. Two bedrooms, one bath, a small living room, breakfast nook, and it was fully furnished. He'd gotten it for a steal, and he couldn't wait to show Emma. This feeling was one he hadn't technically had since he and his glee club won nationals, for Terri's pregnancy had all been a complete lie. Oh, Terri: that reminded him; his divorce had been completely finalized. After going to court and telling his lawyer he wanted nothing but his clothes, pillow, and any money he'd earned himself – well, after that it was pretty easy. Trying to refuse to sign the divorce papers, Will finally had to appeal to her softer side using blackmail. "The court doesn't know about the fake pregnancy, Terri, and I'm not planning on telling them. But I bet if they caught one whiff of that, ooh…" After that she got the house, but he got most of the money.
"Hey, Mercedes, how's that solo coming along?" Will asked as he saw her, smiling.
"Great, Mr. Schue, but you can judge that for yourself at rehearsals today."
"You got it." He continued on, eager to share find Emma and share his news.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time: the feeling of security. He felt that through everything that could possibly go wrong, it'd still be alright.
And Will wanted to make it official, he was going to ask Emma Pillsbury to be his girlfriend.
As he entered her office, the smell of Lysol blew into his eyes and he gasped for air, not expecting it.
"Uh, Em, what happened in here?" He tried to waft the smell away and laughed a little, walking in and shutting the door. She turned around, sighing and spraying a few more items. Will couldn't help but look at the picture of them on her desk, even if it was concealed by many others. He understood: her not wanting people to ask questions. It was the two of them, standing on the football field behind the school. They were looking at each other, her arms wrapped around him and one leg popped. The sun was just beginning to set behind them, and it was obvious from the picture that they loved each other. One of the quiet students from yearbook had taken it, and then delivered the only copy anonymously – the two of them didn't really have any problems with it.
"Some of these kids just don't understand how to keep their hands to themselves. I know what I'll be doing the rest of the day."
"I disagree with that." He smiled, walking towards her and wrapping his arms around her. "I have some news."
Still dazed from him being so close, Emma took a second to answer. "What's that?"
"I got an apartment." After two months of searchinghe'd finally found one, and it felt even greater saying it aloud.
She squealed as it registered and wrapped her arms around him, smiling. "Will, that's great! What does it look like?"
"You'll get to see when I take you there after school. We'll get something to eat and everything, it'll be our first meal in my new place."
Emma laughed at how he had it all planned out and smiled. "That sounds wonderful."
He pulled her close and placed a slow, light kiss on her lips. After pulling away, she looked giddy…then again, he probably did as well; they were both finally happy.
"But I've also got glee rehearsals," he began as he remembered. "So you'll just have to come with me. The kids need a little womanly advice on their performances."
"Oh, no, I can't sing at all; I'll only make things worse."
"Nonsense, you're amazing." The bell rang just as he was about to kiss her again, and he groaned. "I've got to go, but I'll see you at lunch alright?" He didn't wait for an answer as he rushed out the door.
"So, saber is the verb used for when you personally know a person and –" Wait, no, that was wrong! "I'm sorry kids, conocer is the verb used for when you know people."
"Mr. Schue are you alright? You're acting kind of strange." Finn Hudson said, though it was probably one of the only times he was paying attention, how convenient for Will.
No, he was not alright. Actually he was, he was just – Emma was his problem. He had fallen head over heels in love with her, and anyone who knew about them could tell. Every time he left her, he wanted to run back and be with her again. Every time he kissed her, he just wanted to hold her there forever. Every time he asked her a question, he almost wanted to follow it with an "I love you too, just marry me and let's spend our lives together." However, that would be utterly insane. All he could do was thing about her, and even the smell of hand sanitizer being used made him want to be near her. Yet he loved the feeling, and it'd only taken more control of him when her job at McKinley became permanent again.
"Yeah, Finn, I'm fine. Did you all turn in your homework?" He said, changing the subject as quickly as possible.
"I'm telling you guys, something's up. You should've seen him in Spanish." Finn said to his fellow glee-clubbers, and they were completely intrigued.
"What, do you think he's still upset about his wife?" Brittany asked quietly.
"Of course not, he's been over her for quite some time now." Kurt interceded, ruling out that idea.
"Maybe he came to school with a little extra juice in his coffee mug." Puck teased, and everyone just ignored his idea.
"Could he have decided he wanted to go back to his wife?" offered Tina.
"Maybe he's found a new girlfriend." Rachel added, and just then their teacher walked in.
"Okay, guys, we've got a special guest with us today. You all know the guidance counselor, Ms. Pillsbury." He turned and smiled at her, gesturing for her to sit down. "She's going to watch us and give us a few pointers."
Any kids in the class with half a brain instantly lit up, knowing exactly what had made Will so happy; she was sitting right in front of them, smiling innocently. Kurt quickly shushed a few people and, seeing Mr. Schue's raised eyebrows, tried to cover it up with something random. "I think that's a great idea, but we still have the matter of our dance routine and how some of us keep getting squished toes."
"I told you before, you're supposed to lead." Mercedes jumped in, though it was obvious they weren't acting serious.
"Okay, guys, moving on." Will said, not catching onto their changing the subject. "So I've got a new mash-up idea that I want to try out, and Ms. Pillsbury is here to give us her opinion. We're going to mix up something old and new." He passed out a set of sheet music to each member of Glee, and Rachel instantly spoke up.
"Mr. Schue, you can't mix up a great band like Train with Chris Brown, it'll sound –"
"They're going to be in acoustic," He said, ignoring her comment. "And you guys need to spice it up."
"Oh, I got this." Mercedes jumped in, smiling wide as they all started singing in unison.
"I'll bet she's back in the atmosphere, with drops of Jupiter in her hair. She acts like summer and walks like rain, reminds me that there's time to change. Since her return from the stay on the moon, she listens like spring and talks like June."
Soon they were jumping up from their seats, improvising dance moves and belting out the notes as if it were their last performance. Artie and Tina spun around while Finn and Rachel faced each other, and the other members just followed along."It's like I've waited my whole life, for this one night, it's gonna be me you and the dance floor. 'Cause we only got one night: double your pleasure, double your fun. We'll dance, forever, forever, and forever…forever on the dance floor."
They broke off, finishing the song early. "How'd that sound, Mr. Schue?" Artie asked, breaking the silence.
Will turned and smiled at Emma. "Why don't we ask our guest judge?"
"So, are you ready to see my new apartment?" Will asked, a bright smile on his face. Glee had ended, and they'd both temporarily gone their separate ways as they both had their own cars.
"Alright." She said, nodding.
He took out his keys to open the door, and they stepped inside to reveal his new home. The living room centered the apartment, with a brown suede sofa complimenting a small rug covering a wooden floor. Two bedroom doors were off to the right, Emma ventured into the place and looked around, letting out a breath of air.
"It looks great, Will, how could you afford this?"
"Well, considering about ¾ of the money Terri and I owned was mine, I invested some of it on a good home for myself. But hey –" He was interrupted as Emma's eyebrows widened and she walked over to an open door, seeing it was the only other room that looked occupied.
"What's this?" She smiled devilishly.
"Noo, you do not want to go in there."
She ignored him and walked in, gasping. It was a complete mess; it looked like a tornado had gone through the room, sucked everything up, and then decided to spit it back out again before it left.
"Let's just leave that room alone for now." Will laughed and shut the door. "How about some dinner and maybe a little movie?" She nodded in agreement, trying to forget the disarray that was his bedroom.
"Hey, but first I have to tell you something. So, I just found out today..." He started, taking Emma's hands and looking at her very seriously. "My divorce with Terri has been finalized, and I am now a single man."
Emma didn't know whether to be ecstatic or just nonchalant, for it didn't really have a lot to do with her own life. "Good for you!" She pulled him into a hug and he held her for a second before letting go to look at her again.
"But wait, that's not all." His face fell, and as it did so did hers. "I'm not a single man, actually." She became confused in an instant. "Emma Pillsbury, would you be my girlfriend?" He hadn't realized how childish it sounded in words; it sounded like he was marrying her or something.
Silence followed for a moment, and then Emma broke into a huge grin. "Will Schuester, I will be your girlfriend." Will pulled her into his arms and kissed her as passionately as he possibly could, smiling just as big while he did. Finally, everything was perfect.
