A/N: OME I wake to having seven e-mails all alerts, and two reviews. Well I promised ch.2 ASAP.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, Glee, nor any of the song that will be song in this story. I do own Josh.
I found myself walking toward the choir room, walking at a snails pace.
I knocked on the door once I reached my destination, hesitantly walking though the doorway.
"Bella, I beginning to think you weren't going to show up, anyways take a seat, I'll be with you in just a second."
Taking a seat, absorbing the atmosphere around me, receiving a slight warm feeling from the room. My observation was interrupted by Mr. Shu walking in.
"Sorry I was putting in grades whey you came in and I didn't want to leave it incomplete." Mr. Shu took the seat next to mine. "Are you ready to explain what happen to you?"
I faced forward while taking a deep breath, and basically explained my whole life sorry: How my parents were divorce when I was young, moving here from Arizona, meeting Edward, our perfect summer together, my birthday (changing the sorry to Jasper and I arguing instead saying he tried to take a bit out of me), and lastly the hardest part of memory of them all, his departure.
But the end, I didn't notice I was crying until a tissue was brought to my attention, making me realize the moisture that was collecting on my face.
"Oh, Bella. Most would pass that as young love, but they way you describe it, to you it was something more," Mr. Shu sounded pained, "Believe it or not, I know how you feel, I may not have looked like it but I can relate to your situation."
I chuckled, "Really, You're miserable like me?"
"Yes, if you haven't notice, this is the first year that I have taught here, before I taught at another school, and at the time I was married."
Like I had Mr. Shuster took a deep breath before telling me his story.
"We had were high school sweethearts, she was the head cheerleader, and I was just in the glee club, our relationship was unexpected. Well, I continued onto college and when I finished getting my teaching certification, I proposed and we were married a year later.
After I started teaching, we started having problem and Terri want more that what I could offer as a teacher, material things. Yet when another problem we had was the constant suspicion of me cheating, but I proved to Terri time and time again the I was solely committed to our relationship.
When I began to coach glee at my last school, thing were calm between me and my wife and I was ecstatic when Terri gave me the most amazing news, that we were going to be parents. But I realized that being a teacher only offered so much financially, and I made the decision to quit and become an a accountant.
Right before I was about to leave from my last day, a dear friend gave me a good sense of advice, that 'the only life worth living is one your really passionate about' and, I stuck with teaching, I was surprise that my wife agreed to it so sudden. But I should have figure something was going on, and as time pasted, and suspicions kept building up but came that dreadful day when my suspicions were conformed when I found the pouch."
" A pouch?" I questioned, not meaning to cut him off.
"Yes, you see Bella, I was looking for my pocket square for picture day the next day, when I couldn't find it within my thing I began to look in my wife's things. When I found the pouch I didn't think much about it, but something snapped in my head.
The answer was straight in my face and I was ignorant to the see it."
'That makes two of us' mentally saying in my head.
"I reviewed the last five months before and I put two and two together. She never had morning sickness, she 'went' to her monthly doctor appointment with out me. She would hardly ever let me feel the baby move or kick.
I confronted Terri on why she had a pouch and she tried everything to play it off, but her story didn't make any sense, in the middle of our argument she wasn't paying attention I lifted up her shirt and I found a fake empathy belly.
Bella I was heart broken, I had built up a love for a child that didn't exists, I felt like someone had ripped a hole in my heart. So betrayed by Terri it was the last straw for me, so I filed for divorce and I ended the year. After that I couldn't face the outside world. After I didn't go back to teaching.
When I finally did go outside of my room, I took at jobs away from teaching."
"How did you get back up?" I wonder how he did it. Our stories were so different yet the same. He smiled.
"I recalled my friends advice, the most happiest I was when I was teaching glee. Yes, the pain every so often is reminisced but music, it was the only thing that made the pain easier to bear. Teaching also makes each day worth living, seeing my life's work making a difference in someone's life."
I took a moment to take it all in and sighed.
", I don't think I don't thing I can do this, I've never sung anything, and I can't walk over a flat surface without tripping, so how can I do this?" Mr. Shuster just turn towards me and smirked.
"Bella, something tells me that your going to make it, plus I want to meet with each and everyone of you to work on things. This region has tough competition.
Panic rose, "Wait, we're going to compete?"
"We would," Mr. Shu stated, "but on the moment we don't have enough members. Most likely we'll perform for school events and for the community." Oh thank God, I mentally said.
"So do you have your song prepared?"
Caught off guard, "Uh, no, I didn't think I would even come back."
"Well, I'll extend the date, unless you can come up with something by Monday?"
"I'll see, If I have one prepare then I'll be here Monday after school, if not I'll come to you earlier and tell you." He smiled. " Alright"
I nodded, "Well I better get going before my dad sends a search team. See you around , "Mr. Shue, thank you, for letting me know that I'm not the only on that's ever felt like me."
"Your welcome, Bella" giving me a smile.
. . .
I didn't realize how late it was til I got outside to see become dark, making my way to my truck, I hadn't notice the figure leaning on my door til I was just at my door. I startled whatever it was when they heard me gasp, it was Josh.
"Bella, sorry I didn't mean to scare you, I wanted to apologize for Tuesday, I had no right to say that about you, can you forgive me?"
He seemed to be honest with his request.
"Uhm, o.k.?"
The long pause felt as if we had stood there for hours.
"I really need to go home. . .can I get to my truck? I tried to be nice, but with him it wasn't an easy task.
"Yah," he said while moving out of the way, "Bella I should have said what I did but it doesn't mean I don't mean it."
I stop whatever I was doing and turn to look at him with an angry expression.
"Oh what, you think you're the only one who's gone through what your going through?" looking at me with a sinister smirk.
"Look, I'm handling things the best that I can," who was he to question me "I know that people want me to get over it. BUT I JUST CAN'T!"
"AND YOU THINK EVERYBODYS LIFE IS EASY! That you're the only one who has lost someone they love?" Anger covered his face, I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a bit frighten by him.
He took a few breath to calm down, "Look I came to apologize and not get angry at you. I just hope my actions won't make you more uncomfortable then you should be."
I was still stunned, but somehow found the mechanics to move my lips.
"It's ok . . .look Josh, I know that I'm not the only one who gone through what I have, but I wasn't trying to receive sympathy from anyone, that's not my intention, I'm sorry if ever made you feel that way."
He was still, I didn't know what to do, I got into my truck and started up truck.
"Bella wait?" I was hearing that a lot lately, I rolled down the window.
"Will you be there Monday, if you here my song you'd understand?"
I sighed "I'll try" and with that I drove off.
