Chapter 25: Crossroads
"Where's Mr. Schue?" Tanya Willows asked as she reapplied her lipgloss, "Of all the times he could ask us to come here, why on a Saturday and he's still not here—"
"Ssh," Rob Robbins said.
Beth was getting worried. Arnie wasn't responding to her messages. They had a little fight last night, so she opted to drive herself to school. Just then, she received a call from Emma Pillsbury-Schuester, Will's wife.
"Mrs. Scheuster," Beth said, "What's going on?"
Emma was crying, sniffing.
"Ma'am?"
"I'm at the hospital,"
"What?"
"Will got into an accident, and so did our daughter, Emily—"
"Oh my God..."
"They were on the way to school and...and this truck hit them..."
"I'm so sorry, we're coming—"
"Beth, there's still something you need to know," Emma said, "On the...on the way to s-school, the...the doctors and the police said that...That the car that hit Will's car is...is Arnie's...and that Arnie's...drunk. He's also in the hospital now."
"Oh my God," Beth muttered, crying, "Oh my God..." She dropped her phone.
"Beth!" Zach said, and took hold of her phone, "Hello?"
"Who's this?" Emma said.
"Mrs. Scheuster, it's Zach. What's going on?"
Emma explained to him what happened.
"Okay, we're coming," Zach said, "We'll be there, hang on, okay?"
And Zach ended the call.
Beth was still crying. Tanya was holding her.
"Guys, Mr. Schue, Arnie and Emily are in the hospital, we have to go." He held Beth's hand, "Come on," He said, "It will be fine."
And Beth burrowed her face in his shoulders and cried even harder.
