Will Shuester sat through another long teachers meeting at McKinley High. Higgins was dragging on about the newly developed cafeteria menus. Ever since parents found out about the school serving prison food, Higgins had made it their new goal to improve the quality of food. This would have been a great idea if it didn't mean taking budget money from the sports and clubs.
Sue was currently yelling profanities from the third row.
"How dare you take another cut to my cheerio's budget and from their puny 'not so important' clubs!", Waving her hand behind her to the rest of the teachers.
Will caught Emma's smirk as she shook her head. Will couldn't really classify Sue as an Enemy, even though most of the time she was but there were a handful of times she had actually helped Glee club and the kids. He couldn't help but think about how great of a team they were when they sided with each other, they were unbeatable.
Higgins was shouting for silence when Sue had beaten him to a screaming match. Higgins had given up in minutes, calling for a short recess.
Will turned to Emma, who was sitting next to him in the cafeteria
Will wasn't particularly worried about the budget cut. He knew Sue wouldn't let that happen for her cheerios so He knew that in turn the Glee club would be safe.
He heard Sue's scowling become louder and turned to see her barreling by.
"Well you don't look too worried about this latest budget cut" standing above him with her hands on her hips, sporting her usual red track suit.
Will gave her a smirk and opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by his phone ringing.
He grunted reaching for it. "Excuse me Sue, I'll have to hear your smart banters a little later" pointing to his phone.
Not recognizing the number he flipped opens the phone. "Hello"
There was a long pause before Will asked again. "Hello?"
He could hear Sue banter to Emma. "Let me guess, It's one of his lady friends calling to tell him she wants her curlers back." Emma shot Sue a small glare as sue laughed at her own joke.
A tiny whimper escaped the lips of the unknown caller. He secretly prayed it wasn't Suzie Pepper again.
"Mr. Shue". The girl said on the other line.
He recognized the girl's voice. "Quinn?" glancing at Emma and Sue who both looked up when hearing the cheerios name.
'Wait, Quinn, My Q? Why are students calling your private line Shuester" Sue hauled, her brows frowing. The anger seeping through her glare.
Will ignored her yelling and focused on Quinn. Her voice was distant. Something was off.
"Quinn, is that you? What's wrong?"
There was a long pause. He could tell she was trying to suppress the tears. Before they came out all at once she blurted "The Car" She cried. "Brittany…Santana".
Will was caught off guard by this and had to back up
"Whoa whoa- Quinn Slow down, What happened?"
Sue took a step closer putting an ear to the phone in all seriousness, whispering to Will "What's going on?"
"There was an accident Mr. Shue."
"Brittany's Parents aren't answering and they're not Home." Quinn sucked in another breath "I don't know what to do". Her voice cracked and another soft sob escaped.
"It's ok Quinn, its okay. Are you alright? Where are you? He asked her, grabbing his jacket on the chair and patting down his pockets for his keys.
"The Hospital" The words sent a ping of pain the Will's chest.
"I'm coming" He reassured her, hanging up and pulling out his keys from his breast pocket.
Emma and Sue stepped significantly closer. "Was that Quinn?
"Why are my cheerios calling you, Shuester?" Sue growled, her hands raising to her hips.
"I need to go" striding for the door
Emma grabbed his arm "No Will wait, what's wrong?"
He paused a moment while collecting his words
"That was Quinn. There was an accident. Brittany and Santana are in the Hospital. That's all I know."
"Whoa. My cheerios?" Sue asked baffled by the words Will just threw at her.
"A car accident I think. We need to go", grabbing Emma's arm.
"I'm going with you" Sue interrupted again, her face was cryptic. Will couldn't tell if it was fear or anger.
Will sprinted through the Hospital door with Emma and Sue in his wake.
"Q" Sue yelled, seeing her blonde head pace the floor.
She was out of her cheerios uniform but it wasn't the time or place to think about that.
Will hustled was over to her. Her cheeks were stained with tears. "What happened!"
"They were driving home. San was driving. There was Ice. This guy couldn't stop." She paused to shake the tears away. "He slid through a red light and hit them." She cried. Will glanced back at the two shocked adults. He pulled Quinn into a hug and told her it was going to be okay.
"Is Santana's Parents here?" Emma popped her head around.
She nodded, burying her head in his chest. "They just got here, they're with everyone else"
"Were you there?" Will asked and Quinn immediately dislodged herself from him and shook her head. Her arms stretched around chest, whipping the tears away.
"Mike Chang's mom is a nurse. She recognized them when they brought them in."
Emma hurried to Quinn side and put an arm around her shoulder and the other on her arm.
"Hunny lets go sit down, alright?" guiding her to the waiting room. Sue and Will followed.
Will was floored by the mass that had already formed in the crowded room.
