A/N: Thank you for the reviews again :) this chapter has no real plot development but my sister liked it so hopefully you will too :)

Chapter 14: Mr Schue

The nine remaining teenagers sat in silence in the living room, unsure of what to do with themselves. They had lost their rock. Mr Schue had held the group together. He was a great teacher. He made them all feel good about themselves and during this week he had stopped them all from breaking. He looked after them all like they were his children. Some of the kids saw him as a second father. And now he was gone. The group had never felt more alone. Although there were still nine of them the room felt empty without Mr Schuester.

Everyone knew Mr Schue wasn't the bad guy so they felt safer with him around. No one had really even suspected him. He was just an innocent guy. One of the good guys.

Rachel thought about her audition for glee. The way he smiled at her when she was singing. The way he complimented her voice. Even when she got annoyed with him for giving the solo to someone else or making up rubbish dance routines she always knew that she was in the wrong and he was right. He was just trying to make everyone happy. Trying to make the group happy. Glee club isn't about her. It isn't all about Rachel Berry. Will Schuester was Glee club.


Finn remembered back to when he first found out Quinn was pregnant. He was shocked and he had no idea what to do. No idea who to turn to for help. He didn't know what it was like to be a dad. He was just a sixteen year old boy. But Mr Schue had helped him. He had given him a reassuring hug and told him everything would be okay. Throughout the whole year Mr Schue had helped Finn. With his singing, his dancing, his home life, school life. Everything. Finn had grown to see Will as a father figure and he respected him more than any other person.


Santana wasn't sure about Mr Schue at first. She thought he was soppy, a bit of a wimp and had really bad hair. She was a bully. So of course she's going to think badly of him. She thought badly of everyone. But joining glee club made Santana see that he was a great teacher. He loved his students. He loved her. He didn't see her as a bully. He saw her as more than that. A good person, who had been taking the wrong path in life. He bought her back on the right path and for that she was grateful. Whatever anyone else thought of Mr Schuester, Santana would always see him as a very good man; the most generous man she knew.


Before this week Mercedes would have never cried in front of any of her fellow glee clubbers. She had only ever cried in front of about three people in her life. Her mum, her grandma and Mr Schue. When she was in love with Kurt, he had convinced her that he was in love with Rachel and that broke her heart. She didn't know he was gay. She just thought she wasn't good enough for him. Will found her in the choir room one day sobbing her heart out. He rested a friendly hand on her shoulder and told her she was beautiful. That one day a man would come along and love her for exactly who she was. He made her so much happier with herself. He gave her the self confidence she needed.


Puck would never admit this to anyone but he thought Mr Schue was great. As with Santana, Puck had a reputation as a bully. Will made him see past bullying. He was one of the only people that saw Puck as an individual. Didn't stereotype him. He probably should have stereotyped him. Puck was a bad person. He bullied because of his own insecurities. Since finding Will's body Puck had been furious. Who could do such a thing to such a good man? Puck decided he was going to try and become a better person and do it for Mr Schuester.


Mr Schue was one of the only people who didn't judge Quinn when he found out who the father was. That was the great thing about him. He didn't judge people. He didn't make you do anything you didn't want to. And he respected every single person as an individual. Quinn broke down when Finn found out he wasn't the father. She had let him down and she had let herself down. But Mr Schuester still talked to her. Even after what she had done he still accepted her, still looked out for her and most importantly he still thought she was a good person who had just made a mistake.


Matt thought back to when Mr Schue first helped him. The football kids in glee had been given an ultimatum by their coach. Glee club or football. This was a particularly hard choice for Matt as both were passions of his. He knew he couldn't persuade Coach Tanaka to change the practice, so he had to decide. He sat in the locker room and tried to think which he should choose. Mr Schue came in and sat down with Matt. He told him that Matt was very special. A very talented kid. That it was unfair that he had to choose. He also told him not to let anyone influence him. Not anyone from Glee, nor anyone from the football team. The decision had to be Matt's decision. Mr Schue said to follow his heart. The next day Matt chose Glee over football.


Mr Schuester was one of the only people who knew Brittany by name. Most people knew her as either just another cheerleader or Santana's dumb friend. She didn't bully people but most people thought she did because she was a cheerio. She liked Mr Schue because he was nice to her and he knew that she wasn't a bully. He also gave her extra tutoring sessions to help her with her Spanish. He was also one of the only people that didn't think she was dumb. He was her favourite teacher, but she'd never tell Coach Sylvester that.


Mr Schue was the third person Kurt told he was gay. He had already told Mercedes and his dad and he wanted to come out completely but he didn't know how to. Kurt knew that he was different. Coming out as gay in Lima would just make him even more different. More of an outsider. He knew he'd be bullied for it but Kurt was fed up of hiding the truth so he went to Will for help. He offered his best advice and to Kurt's surprise it actually really helped. He said no matter what anyone thinks, be yourself. The only people you need are the ones that accept you. Anyone who doesn't accept you is not worth your time. Kurt gained a lot of confidence and it was all thanks to Mr Schuester.
