Don't Stand Too Close To Me
Chapter Two: Love This Pain
Emma woke up and glanced around the small room she shared with Rachel. It took the redhead a few seconds to realise where she was but then she remembered, she was attending university. Emma glanced across to where Rachel was sound asleep but mumbling something. Emma smiled and got up out of the bed and went to have a quick shower. Emma then returned from the shower, clad in a towel, and checked her watch.
"Only eight am" she said quietly as not to disturb Rachel. Classes didn't start till eleven that day as there were mixers going on the night before and Figgins had advised the tutors not to start classes to early so that the students could get their sleep. Emma silently got dressed in a yellow and brown spotty skirt and a yellow blouse with a giant bow on. Emma privately thought she looked like a bumblebee but those were the clothes that were nearest to her in the wardrobe. She then slipped out of the room and into the main living area but there was no sign of the other five girls Emma shared with.
"I'll go and get a coffee and something to eat" Emma said out loud to herself and smiled. After scribbling down a message for Mercedes to read and brushing a comb through her hair Emma slipped out of the apartment door and walked down the hall towards the elevator. She rode the elevator and got out at the ground floor before making her way to a local coffee shop that she had heard been recommended. What she didn't expect to see was Will talking to what looked like one of the other tutors. Will lifted his sunglasses and grinned heading out of the door before smacking straight into Emma.
"Oops sorry" Will smiled before glancing at Emma. "Have we met before?" He asked a curious look passing across his face as a thought came to his mind. "Your the girl I met at the bar, Emily isn't it?" he smiled. Emma just shrugged past him as she walked to the counter and spoke to the cashier that she would like a small coffee and a bagel to take away as Will joined her at the counter. He glanced at her university pass which didn't have `Emily` written on it but `Emma Pilsbury`.
"You lied to me" he said quietly the happy look leaving his face. Emma grabbed the coffee and bagel and turned straight around to glare at Will.
"Yeah well I didn't know you, I still don't know you, even though this is the second time we have met. You would lie if you knew your father was going to find out, and I don't really think we should meet anymore as your supposed to be my tutor." Emma replied quietly grabbing her pass off Will "I'll see you later Mr. Schuester" she added walking straight out of the shop. Will put a hand through his curly hair and glanced at his cell phone which had just started ringing.
"Terri" he groaned answering the cell phone. "Yeah Terri what is it? It's half 8" Will answered tiredly.
"Will I need you to come home straight away after tutorials have finished today. I have something I need to tell you" Terri replied.
"But," Will started to say as he was hoping he could explain to Emma why he didn't tell her he was working at the university. I mean out of all the students he could have met at the bar he had to meet one he was going to teach.
"No buts Will I'm going to be on my feet all day the least you could do is leave that university alone and come home to your poor wife" Terri replied. Will sighed and muttered something but then conceded defeat. Maybe he could see Emma tomorrow it wasn't like she was on friendly terms with him anyway.
"Ok Terri I'll come straight home" Will replied before he hung up on the cell phone and put it back in his pocket before the cashier brought his order across. Meanwhile back at the house Terri gave a smug smile, she had won that round and pretty soon with the news she would be giving Will he wouldn't be going back to the university any time soon.
Rachel crossed her arms and huffed as she scanned the notice board. She had a spare half an hour before her first Spanish seminar and she wanted to see if there was any clubs that were dedicated to the arts. However she found there was none. Rachel then looked down the corridor and saw Artie being pushed by Tina in the wheelchair.
"H-Hey," Tina stuttered as she noticed Rachel "W-What are you d-doing?"
"I was just inquiring if there were any clubs that involved singing , dancing or even both. However there are none." Rachel crossed her arms as she glared at the piece of paper that was advertising the Cheerios, the cheerleading society that, Rachel noted Quinn, Santana and Brittany had expressed interest in joining, Artie pushed up his glasses and glanced at Rachel just as Puck and Finn came walking down the corridor.
"Hey" Finn smiled at Rachel who just blushed. "Me, Puck, Mike and Matt have just signed up to join the soccer team. Coach Tanaka seems an ok person but his partner Coach Bieste….." he shuddered.
"Yeah trust me you don't want to get on the wrong side of her" Puck smirked at Rachel who glared back but then glanced at Finn who looked hurt by Pucks flirting.
"We better go otherwise Will will think we have got lost" Finn replied walking off down the corridor in the opposite direction, Puck following his room mate. Rachel and Tina shrugged at one another as they walked side by side towards the class room. The rest of the class were waiting for them as Rachel stood by Emma as Carl just pushed a hand through his hair as he smiled at Brittany who gave him a blank look as she put an arm around Santana who glared at Carl. Carl then shot a smile across to Emma and was about to speak to her when Will arrived with his messenger bag and a ton of forms.
"Sorry about the wait" he apologised as he opened the door to the room and let the students in. Emma was at the back of the group and as she walked in Will just grabbed her sleeve and gave her a piercing glance. Emma just looked blank as she walked to a seat that was empty next to Rachel and opened her notepad. Carl, who was sat next to a boy Emma didn't recognise, gave Will a look as Will started to check that everyone was present.
"And that is your assignment for the week" Will concluded. "Has anyone got any questions?"
"Will, do we have to choose our own partners or will you be choosing for us?" Quinn asked her eyes wide as she leant on her elbows.
"No you can choose who you work with just as long as you work together I'll know if one of you has done more work than the other" Will smirked. The class stated laughing.
"Hey Will is a pretty good teacher" Finn whispered to Rachel who was sat just behind Emma and Rachel. Puck sat next to him.
"He's ok," Rachel shrugged "I just don't see why he has a sudden interest in making my life hell" the brunette complained. "I see you haven't said much" she glared at Emma who was fiddling with a pencil.
"Huh?" Emma said dazed "Sorry I wasn't paying attention."
"No like you weren't throughout the whole lesson" Rachel remarked just as Will came walking down the aisle towards Finn, Puck, Rachel and Emma.
"Me and Puck are working together" Finn glanced up at Will who nodded writing their names down on a piece of paper.
"Me and Rachel are too" Emma said quickly before Rachel could change her mind. Rachel looked surprised but nodded. Will also wrote their names down then crossed across to speak to Mercedes and Tina.
"Once I have your names you can go" Will shouted across the room.
"Sweet" Puck grinned to Finn giving him a fist bump. "Hey Quinn you want to go to the cafeteria and hang out?" He smirked at the blonde headed girl.
"No thanks" Quinn replied smoothly. "Me, Santana and Brittany are going to check out the Cheerios" she smirked at Puck and Finn as the three girls left the room. As the class dwindled only Finn, Emma and Will were left in the room.
"You sure your ok?" Finn glanced at Emma who smiled and nodded. "I might go back to the dorms catch up on some sleep" Finn yawned as he left the room. Emma sighed as she walked up to the front of the room to join Will.
"So what is it you want to tell me?" she asked.
"Just to say that maybe I should have told the truth about working here. But really what are the chances of me meeting a student in a place like that. The truth is I just wanted to get away from my wife Terri sometimes she just makes my life..." Will carried on talking but all Emma could hear were the words "His wife" being repeated over and over again.
"You're married" Emma softly said.
"Yeah for five years now. We've known each other since high school then started dating after. She's kinda high maintenance though but I really should be going to see her now."
"No you go I'm sure she will be waiting for you" Emma hitched up her bag. "And I'm sorry too, I should have been honest about who I was and my real name." She extended out an hand "Hi I'm Emma Pillsbury your first year Spanish student" she gave a small smile.
"Hi Emma I'm Will Schuester your Spanish seminar tutor" Will smiled at the redhead. Emma blushed and glanced down at the ground as she walked to the door.
"Good luck with your wife and I'll try and get Rachel to enjoy the assignment. You never know she might!" Emma laughed as she exited the room. However what she didn't know was that Carl was watching from the opposite end of the corridor and as soon as he saw Emma came walking down the corridor towards her.
"Emma hi" he smiled again showing perfect white teeth Emma noticed. "Would you like to meet up for a coffee? I kinda don't know anyone other than my flatmates and they all seem too busy at the moment."
"Carl I erm I have an headache at the moment" Emma lied. She just couldn't be interested in Carl at this moment in time. However she noticed the hurt look on his face and she softened. "Maybe another time when I feel better maybe" she gave a small smile as she walked away.
"Sure" Carl muttered as he brushed his hair from his eyes and glared in the direction of his tutor`s room. Something was up between Emma and "Mr. Schuester" Carl narrowed his eyes, he needed to get to the bottom of this. Plus he had started to develop a crush on Emma and he wanted her all to himself.
(Will walked up to the front door of his apartment and noticed it was open. He entered to see Terri standing there with a big grin on her face and as Will entered the living area she ran up to him and gave him a big hug.)
"W-whats happened Terri?" Will said confused. Terri smiled.
"Well you know I haven't been feeling so good these last few days. Well I took a pregnancy test today just to take being pregnant out of the equation and it turns out I am!" she grinned. "I'm pregnant Will!" she exclaimed.
"T-Terri that's great!" Will exclaimed running up to his wife and throwing his arms around her.
"I'm gonna be a daddy" he grinned. Terri smiled and sat down on the sofa watching her husband's reaction to the news.
"I want one thing though," Terri stated "You have to promise me that you wont suddenly do disappearing acts like you did over the summer. We will have an extra mouth to feed."
"I'll put extra shifts in at the university" Will promised Terri who nodded.
"I'll go and ring Kendra" she replied walking into the hallway while Will just paced around the room delighted with the news Terri had just given him. However was Terri tricking him or was she really pregnant?
Next time….
Carl again asks Emma out on a date but after she receives Will's baby news, will she accept? Meanwhile Will tells the students about Terri's pregnancy and his plans to leave the university as Terri receives some unsettling news.
Again feel better about this chapter but feel something is lacking. Maybe its just me I don't know. Anyway review and tell me what you think about it, the next chapter should be up sometime next week it would be this week but I'm still struggling with a cold
