Some people might've died from the shock of seeing this notification in their email inbox, so, sorry. Thank you for sticking by this story and I apologise for my sucky updating skills. But the 2nd half of this chapter is good, so read on! : )
There was a single spotlight in the middle of the stage it landed on Quinn as she started to sing softly…
It's just you and me,
And there's no one around,
Feel like I'm hanging by a thread,
It's a long way down,
I've been trying to breathe,
But I'm fighting for air,
I'm at an all time low,
With no place to go,
But you're always there…
Emma felt different, she felt a lot lighter and happier than she had twenty minutes ago. She swayed as Brittany, Quinn and Rachel all sung in perfect harmony.
When everything falls apart,
And it seems like the world,
Is crashing at my feet…
Brittany took centre stage.
You like me the best,
When I'm a mess,
When I'm my own worst enemy…
Emma thought for a moment, this song made her think of someone, she frowned, trying to think as Rachel was whispering the sweet lyrics through her microphone.
You make me feel beautiful, (Beautiful)
When I have nothing left to prove,
And I can't imagine,
How I'd make it through…
The music got louder, all of the girls stood in a line with Mercedes in the middle, Quinn and Rachel either side of her Brittany was next to Quinn and Santana was on the other side of Rachel. Tina stood next to Brittany. All the boys stood behind them as Mercedes belted out the next lines.
There's no me without you,
No me without you, no, no…
Finn stood forward and took Rachel's hand and they both sung together.
You hear what I say,
When I don't say a word,
You are my rising sun,
You're the place I run,
You know how it hurts…
Emma swayed, she was to calm and indulged in the kids performance to notice Will's eyes watching her, everyone on the stage sung now.
When everything falls apart,
And it seems like the world,
Is crashing at my feet,
You like me the best,
When I'm a mess…
Quinn sung by herself again, one hand in Sam's palm; the other was wrapped around Brittany's.
When I'm my own worst enemy…
Emma was to busy smiling to notice Brittany look across at Santana sadly. Then the blonde cheerio turned to Quinn, and the two girls sung softly together.
And when you say 'baby, it's gonna get better',
I believe you.
Rachel took over…
And I wish that somehow I could see me,
The way you do.
Quinn sung again,
With my imperfections,
You think I'm perfect,
When it's not easy,
You make it worth it!
Emma looked around, her head feeling light and happier now, she took another sip of her third glass of fruit punch. She was so enthralled in what the kids were singing that she didn't notice Jacob cringe in the corner and Sue's expression break into a grin next to him.
The lights dimmed and Mercedes finished off the song,
There's no me without you,
No me without you, no, no, no…
Emma stood up and clapped enthusiastically ignoring the stares of the people around her. "Hurray Glee club, Yay!"
A few people started at her, but she didn't see them. Will clapped the glee kids, and watched Emma. His eyes losing focus every now and again.
Emma finished clapping and sat back down, feeling slightly light headed and drowsy.

"Does Miss Pillsbury look drunk to you?" Rachel asked everyone as they left the stage. The watched as the guidance councillor was swaying softly in her chair.
"Puck…" Quinn glared at the boy, who had always been well known to spike things. "Did you put alcohol in the punch again?"
He put his hands up in surrender. "Hey! It wasn't me this time, I swear. I know Miss P hates that kinda stuff."
Brittany looked around ditzely. "Then… who was it?"
Santana's eyes narrowed as she looked into the corner of the room, where Sue was standing. "I think I know."
Mercedes followed Santana's gaze. "Aw, Hell no!"
"What?" Brittany said, confused.
"Can't she just leave us alone!" Rachel folded her arms angrily.
"Who?" Finn asked, looking around.
"Coach Sylvester." Quinn sighed.
Rachel turned back to the group, "What are we going to do? She's obviously spiked the punch with alcohol."
They all looked over to Miss Pillsbury, who had started to cry.
"Is she… okay?" Sam asked, watching the red headed teacher.
"I'll go and talk to her." Quinn let go of Sam's hand and started walking towards Emma.
Then Puck looked around. "Wait… Where's Mr Shue?"
The Spanish teacher was nowhere in sight.
"I'll go look for him." Finn offered, leaving the group.
"Whasuuppp McKinley!"
"Oh sweet Jesus." Mercedes' eyes went wide, they all looked up at the stage.
"Hey guys!" Will grinned down at them, waving his hands.
"Mr Shuester, people are staring at you." Rachel told him as some of the dancers had stopped to see what was going on.
"I'm gunna sing a song!" Will told them all.
"I don't think that's such a good idea." Tina said, Mike nodded.
"Do you want to go outside and get some air, Mr Shue?" Mike asked the teacher. Will jumped down from the stage and patted Mike on the back. "That sounds like an awesome idea, Other Asian!"
"His names Mike." Tina put in.
Will laughed drunkenly. "Hey, it's his girlfriend… Asian."
"Uh-let's go outside, Mr Shue." Rachel said, she was about to take him away when Finn appeared.
"Oh thank God, Finn, here!" Rachel shoved Will in his direction. "Take him outside for a while."
"W-what?"
"Go!" Rachel pushed them towards the door.
"Bye Rachel!" Will waved, as Finn took him away.

"Miss Pillsbury?" Quinn sat down in the chair next to Emma. "Are you okay?"
Emma lifted her head off the table. "No, Quinn. I'm not." She sobbed.
"Oh, um, what's the matter."
"Will! Will's the matter… And the fact that I have no more punch left." She looked sadly into the empty plastic cup.
"Mr Shue? What did he do?" Quinn asked, acting like she had no idea what was going on with Mr Shuester.
"He kissed Shelby, and April, and God know how many other woman!"
"Wait… He kissed Rachel's mom?"
Emma nodded sadly. "We were sort of dating, and then he just starts making out with women on his couch."
"He really upset you, then?"
She nodded again, "I was in love with him."
"Do you still love him?"
Emma didn't answer for a very long time, but when she did, she almost sounded sober. "I don't want to."
Quinn smiled and rubbed the guidance councillor's shoulder sympathetically. "Thank you Miss P."
"For what?" Emma asked, sounding confused and drunk again.
"Nothing." The smile didn't fade off her face as she went to find the rest of the glee club.
Miss P still loves Mr Shue.
That's short, considering how long y'all had to wait. But I like the 2nd half of this chapter a lot, and I hope you do to!
I wasn't keen on updating this, but then I read all you lovely reviews and it made me update… so… if want a quicker update… REVIEW! : )
