Hi sorry it's been so long! Now that school is over I have much more time to write! This took me a while to write because I had no idea where it was going! Thank you to everyone who sent their ideas! Enjoy!
Will and Emma were sitting together on the couch doing wedding invitations and had been doing it for weeks and they were finally up to S on the list.
"Gosh will this list ever end?" Emma asked.
"I know. Do we even know half these people?" Will replied.
"Well you know weddings…they always have the perfect setting, the perfect decorations, and…"
Emma never finished her sentence as she stopped at a name that had haunted her for years and now continued to fulfill this purpose.
"W…Will. U…umm I have a little bit of a d…dilemma."
Will followed Emma's gaze to the guest list and saw a name that still brought a chill to his spine.
Terri Schuester
They were quiet for a while until Emma broke the silence.
"Well?"
Will took a deep breath.
"I think we need to settle this once and for all…with both of them."
Emma nodded as Will went into the drawer and got out of the phone book. He then dialed her phone number half hoping he'd get the answering machine.
Ring
Ring
"Hello?"
"Terri"
There was a two short silence as she realized who was on the line.
"Will?"
"You and Ken need to meet us at McKinley in 20 minutes."
"Ok."
"Bye."
"Bye."
It was a short conversation, but it was definitely to the point. The ride to McKinley was the longest 20 minutes of both of their lives. Will finally pulled into the parking lot and they both entered the school hand in hand. They walked the halls until they saw Ken and Terri facing them. As they approached their enemies, Will leaned to Emma's ear.
"I love you."
That gave Emma a newfound confidence that made her go full speed ahead. They were face to face. Ken facing Will and Emma facing Terri.
"Hello," Terri said.
"Hi," Will replied. "Well, I think you guys know why we have brought you here."
"Well actually Will me and Terri were just discussing the fact that we don't know why you have called this little get-together," Ken said rather sarcastically.
Will was about to say something then Emma bravely stepped in.
"Well Ken. Maybe you should open up your pathetic excuse for a brain and remember what you have put us through. Ever since Will and I started going out, you and Terri have been concocting these plans to break us up. Well it's time to wake up and realize that, yes, Will and I had our ups and downs but at the end of the day our love has conquered all. Something that both of you will never understand."
At the end of her speech, it left Ken, Terri, and Will with open mouths. Will broke the long silence.
"We would like to speak with each one of you alone. Me and Ken and Terri and Emma."
They both agreed by slowly nodding their heads. Terri and Emma both left to go into Emma's office leaving Ken and Will standing alone.
"You gonna say something or what Schuester?" Ken asked.
"Ken…"
"Don't 'Ken' me Will. Let's go back about a year, shall we? You say to me that Emma is a great girl and that you know she deserves to be with someone. Back then, I thought that was a friend helping a friend find true love. Now I know that that was just so you could get your mind off her because you knew if she was in a relationship she could never be yours."
Will sighed for he knew Ken was right.
"Then as time progressed I saw the bond between you growing. It was after I proposed that I knew things had changed. You two realized that it was impossible to have your fantasies come true. I told you to stay away from her and you agreed. But in the end she would always come back to you. After she moved the wedding for you, I couldn't deal with it anymore. You had a special place in her heart something I couldn't take away from her. That is why this is going on."
Will looked from the floor and looked up at Ken for the first time. The man had been hurt…because of him. His selfish desire for Emma had tore this man apart. He then put his hand on Ken's shoulder.
"You're right Ken. I was the one that caused you this pain, not Emma. I take full responsibility, but I know that there is someone out there for you. Someone who will appreciate you for who you are. Then you'll feel the same way I do every day."
Ken took a deep breath.
"Hope you're right Will."
They then shook hands and put the past behind them.
"I wonder what the ladies are up to," Will asked.
"Knowing what Terri has to say, we should wait a while," Ken replied.
Meanwhile…
Emma and Terri stood there without saying a word for what seemed like forever. Finally, Emma took a deep breath and broke the silence.
"Terri, what do you have against me?"
"Hmm let me think about it. Well first off you stole my loving husband…"
"Terri I never laid a finger on Will because I knew that he was yours."
"Maybe…but you wanted to."
Emma took a deep breath.
"Terri I was willing to marry a man I didn't love in order to get Will out of my mind because I knew that I could never have him."
"Oh let me play a sad song on my violin. Poor Emma! Poor little helpless Emma!"
"Stop it Terri." Emma said through her teeth.
"Get it through your head. You are small, helpless, and inferior. The only reason people talk to you is because they feel bad for the poor little helpless guidance counselor."
With that, Terri took Emma by the shoulders and pushed her resulting in Emma tripping over the garbage can and falling into the corner.
Terri stood over Emma like she was 40 feet taller than her.
"You're a worthless little pipsqueak."
All the sadness in Emma suddenly turned to rage. Why should she let Terri rule over her life? It was time to set the record straight once and for all. Terri was just about to leave when Emma whispered:
"Will loves me more than he ever loved you."
Terri stopped dead in her tracks and slowly faced Emma.
"What did you just say?"
"You heard what I said and you know it's true."
"WERE YOU THERE FIFTEEN YEARS AGO WHEN WE SHARED OUR FIRST KISS? WERE YOU THERE WHEN WE WENT ON OUR FIRST DATE? WERE YOU THERE WHEN WE WERE CROWNED HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN? WERE YOU THERE WHEN HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM? HOW DARE YOU MAKE THAT ACCUSATION YOU CRAZY PYSCHO FREAK!"
"NO TERRI I WASN'T. BUT I WAS THERE WHEN YOU BROKE HIS HEART BY LYING TO HIM ABOUT HIS OWN CHILD!"
There was silence for a few minutes than suddenly Terri did something shocking. She started sobbing.
"Y…You're right! A…About e…everything! All that stuff I said…it doesn't m…matter because the way I h…hurt him just takes everything else o…out of the picture."
Emma was speechless.
"I see the way he looks at you. It's the look he used to give me in high school. He is totally and completely in love with you, and it took me this long to finally accept that. I guess I just had this fantasy that he would somehow come back to me, but I know that that's not going to happen. Now you can give him what I never could: a family, love, and support."
Emma then put her hand on Terri's shoulder.
"You'll find someone Terri. You probably don't even have to look that hard."
"Really?"
Emma nodded.
With that, Emma and Terri emerged from the office joining Will and Ken.
"Well I think we should head home," Will said.
"Wait!" Terri said. "We would love to go to your wedding."
Will and Emma were shocked. They gave Ken and Terri their invitations and headed home hand in hand glad to have faced their ultimate fear and have each other.
