A/N: Hello everyone! I just wanted to mention that it will be a while before the next update since I am going on vacation. I am also still looking for ideas for this story so if you have one, leave it in a review. Hope you enjoy this next chapter!
Everyone was shocked by the news that they had just heard. Some looked hurt and disappointed while others had a look of disgust. It was clear though that everyone except Finn seemed to be hurt by the news. It was a while before anyone spoke.
"I'm so sorry you guys. I didn't mean for this to spiral out of control. It's just that Rachel and I love each other no matter how wrong it is," Will said.
"It's true. Even though we haven't been together very long, Wil I mean Mr. Schuester and I have feelings for each other," Rachel explained.
"So that is why you practically get every solo," Mercedes said while rolling her eyes.
"No. That is not the reason," Will said. "Rachel gets the solos because she has worked hard for them and has shown that she can handle them. It has nothing to do with our relationship."
"Mr. Schuester is right. Things haven't changed and they won't change," Rachel said.
"How do we know that for sure?" Quinn asked. "This is a perfect reason for him to give you more solos."
"It is, but I'm not going to. I will treat everyone the same as long as all of you can keep a secret," Will negotiated.
"Why would we keep your secret?" Santana asked.
"Do you guys really want Mr. Schuester to get fired and have his reputation ruined? The Glee club would be over and none of you would get to do the things you love anymore," Rachel said trying to convince them.
"Rachel's right," Quinn said. Everyone turned heads with surprised looks on their faces to look at Quinn. "If we want glee then we need Mr. Schuester," she explained. "We can't tell."
After a couple of minutes everyone nodded their heads in agreement except for one.
"You guys do what you want. I need the money," Puck said.
"Noah. You can't. Please," Rachel said with a pleading look in her eyes.
Puck stopped for a moment and looked into her eyes. He could tell what he was doing was truly hurting her but he needed the money. He was in a tough spot and he didn't know what to do.
"Fine. I'll be quite." He paused for a moment before continuing. "For now anyway," he said with a wink and smirk on his face. With that he turned and grabbed the pictures that were laying on the piano and walked out.
All the kids looked to Will and Rachel to see their reaction. They stood there with concerned looks on their face unable to speak.
"Alright everyone, today's rehearsal is over," Will finally said. "You can all go home and prepare for tomorrow's practice."
The glee club gave them nods and small smiles before turning and leaving. When everyone had left Rachel turned to Will.
"What are we going to do now?" Rachel asked with sad sorrowful eyes.
"We can't really do much Rach. Our fate is left to Puck," Will said.
"I hate this. I hate how we can't do anything about us. I mean what are we supposed to do? Just sit by and watch us get torn apart?" Rachel yelled.
Will stood there with a shocked expression on his face. He didn't know where all this anger was coming from. "I hate this too Rachel but we can't do anything. We have no control over Puck and his actions," Will said trying not to yell since yelling would just making everything worse.
"If that is how you really feel, then I'm not so sure about this relationship anymore," Rachel said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Please don't say that. I love you Rachel and I want to be with you," he said with tears also starting to form in his eyes as he was walking over to pull her into a hug.
"I'm sorry Will but I just need time to think," Rachel said while trying to get away from his grasp. As she did so, she turned and grabbed her bag that was sitting on the floor and left with tears spilling from her face.
Will stood there unable to move as he watched the girl he loved leave the room. No he thought to himself Rachel is more than just a girl. She is my true love and I need her, he continued to think. Out of nowhere he was leaving the room. Not towards Rachel though, towards the opposite side of the school. He needed to talk to a certain cheerleading coach.
"Hey Sue? What the hell is wrong with you!" Will yelled as he busted through the door without knocking.
"Hey William haven't you heard of knocking? Probably not, they don't teach manners where you are from," Sue said.
"This is no time for jokes Sue. Why are you paying my glee kids to spy on me? It is immoral and wrong," Will shouted.
"First of all I have no idea what you are talking about and if I did it's because I want one thing in life Will and that is to see you fired and the glee club gone so I can have my budget back to the place where it belongs, to the cherrios," she said.
"You don't need the money and the cheerios didn't even win their competition if I remember correctly," Will yelled. Sue looked up from her paper work she was filling out with a look of pure rage on her face. Nobody talked about the cheerios loss at Nationals.
"William, I am going to make this clear," Sue said in a rather calm manner. "I will not rest till I get that club cancelled and see you fired, so if that means I have to pay kids to spy then so be it, and you shouldn't be talking about morals to me when you are the one having an affair with a student," she said.
"I'm not having an affair. That is just a rumor," Will said trying to cover up him and Rachel even if they were fighting at the moment.
"That is not what Puckerman told me. He said that he wanted to show me something tomorrow and said that I would be very interested in what he had to offer," Sue said with a sly grin on her face.
"Well don't count on it because Puck told me he had nothing. He only said that to you to try and fool you," Will said trying to make his lie sound convincible.
"I guess we will see tomorrow, as for now, get out of my office. I'm done talking to you," Sue yelled.
"Fine, but don't be disappointed when you get nothing!" Will shouted as he walked out of the room.
As Will was walking back to the choir room he couldn't help but feel helpless. The only way that he and Rachel would be safe would be to try and talk to Puck again but he didn't think that it would work. All he knew was that he had to try though. It was the only way to get Rachel back he thought.
When he entered the room, he was surprised to see Puck sitting in one of the chairs.
"Puck? What are you doing here? I thought you left?" Will asked slightly confused and still a little angry for he was the reason that Rachel had left him.
"I came back because I realized that I don't want to be the bad guy anymore Mr. Schue, bad ass maybe, but not the bad guy. I realize that what I was doing was wrong and I should have never joined forces with Ms. Sylvester. I hope you can accept my apology," Puck finished while handing over the pictures to Will.
Will stood there a minute in surprise thinking that this was some kind of trick. He however gratefully accepted the pictures and went and put them in his book bag.
"Thank you," Will said giving him a slight nod and placing his hand on his shoulder. "I'm glad that we can all be mature about this and move on."
"Exactly. Well see you later Mr. Schue," Puck said as he waved goodbye to his teacher.
"Bye Puck. Don't forget about glee tomorrow!" he yelled.
Will was in full smiles and relived to see that his student had enough sense to know when something was wrong. As he grabbed his bag and turned the lights off in the choir room, Will thought to himself that he had just one more thing that he needed to do and that was to talk to Rachel.
