Chapter 14- Begin Again
Author's Note- Hey everybody! Thanks for all the awesome reviews last chapter! This is from where we left off; Will found Emma's CD and just put it in his car's CD player. Here's the chapter, enjoy!
Will Schuester was driving down the road as the CD began playing. He glanced down at the case; there was no explanation for what was on it. The Spanish teacher snapped his head up as he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey Will, it's me, Emma. I made this CD shortly before you arrived at my apartment. I hope that everything at my apartment went well. I know that you probably aren't ready to fully forgive me yet, so I hope that this will help you make your decision. You always tell the glee kids that when you don't know how to say how you feel, it's easier to express yourself through song. Well, I'm going to try that and hopefully I don't make a fool out of myself," Emma said. Will smiled; it wasn't often that he got to hear Emma sing.
"I can't get you out of the sunlight,"
"I can't get you out of the rain,"
"I can't get you back to that one time,"
"Cause you and me are still recovering," Emma sang, confidently. Will grinned; he couldn't believe she had actually taken the time to record herself singing for him.
"So let's just, try to cool it down,"
"The fighting, this feeling of flames,"
"So let's just try to slow it down,"
"We crash when we race,"
"Oh this is not the way it should end,"
"It's the way it should begin,"
"It's the way it should begin, again,"
"No, I never wanna fall apart,"
"Never wanna break your heart,"
"Never wanna let you break my own,"
"Yes, I know we've said a lot of things,"
"That we probably didn't mean,"
"But it's not too late to take them back,"
"So, before you say you're gonna go…"
"I should probably let you know,"
"That I never knew what I had…"
"I never knew what I had…" Emma continued. Will could picture her singing this in front of her laptop, thinking of him. He clutched the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white. Will was so lost inside the middle of his heart.
"See I look for you in the morning,"
"Cause that's what my mind always calls,"
"And I can't wait to get to the evening,"
"Cause that's when I want you the most,"
"So let's just try to cool it down,"
"The fighting, this feeling of flames,"
"So let's just try to slow it down,"
"We crash when we race,"
"Oh this is not the way that it should end,"
"It's the way it should begin,"
"It's the way it should begin, again,"
"No, I never wanna fall apart,"
"Never wanna break your heart,"
"Never wanna let you break my own,"
"Yes, I know we've said a lot of things,"
"That we probably didn't mean,"
"But it's not too late to take them back,"
"So, before you say you're gonna go…"
"I should probably let you know,"
"That I never knew what I had…"
"I never knew what I had…"
"But I know it now…"
"I wish I would've known before,"
"How good we were…"
"Or is it too late to come back,"
"Or is it really over," Will wondered if it was really over between them. Was it?
"If it's really over…"
"But this is not the way that it should end,"
"It's the way it should begin,"
"It's the way it should begin, again,"
"No, I never wanna fall apart,"
"Never wanna break your heart,"
"Never wanna let you break my own,"
"Yes, I know we've said a lot of things,"
"That we probably didn't mean,"
"But it's not too late to take them back,"
"So, before you say you're gonna go…"
"I should probably let you know,"
"That I never knew what I had…"
"I never knew what I had…"
"I never knew what I had,"
"I never knew what I had,"
"I never knew what I had," Emma finished, as Will pulled into his driveway. Will smiled sadly; the song's lyrics explained what they were going through perfectly.
"Will, I'm really sorry. I was stupid; I couldn't see that I had the greatest thing in the world right in front of me. You're the best friend I ever had, I'm not kidding. All I want is to begin again with you. It shouldn't end this way, with us in a huge fight. I think we should just start over, from the beginning. So, hi I'm Emma Pillsbury, and I hope that someday you'll be able to introduce yourself to me, when you're ready," Emma said, as the CD ended.
Will smiled and got out of his car. It was snowing lightly, the white flurries finding their way into his unruly curls. He took the CD with him and jogged up the steps to his apartment. Will unlocked the door and walked inside. The Spanish teacher made his way to the CD player and slipped the CD in, to listen to the sweet and caring voice on the other end once more. He hummed along as he heated up a mug of hot chocolate, thinking of Emma. I think I forgive her. No, wait, maybe I should give this more time. Well, it's been a week and like Emma said, we can gradually work our way up to best friends again. Gradually, slowly, not fast. She was just being so sweet today; the way she didn't laugh but instead understood me breaking down again and made the CD for me. It was really nice of her and the song choice was perfect. I think I'm falling in love with her all over again…crap, I was supposed to be mad at her. I don't think I'm very good at being mad. In fact, I don't think I ever was mad at Emma, I was just really hurt. Should I contact her? I mean we're on break, so we won't be able to see each other for a while. I don't think that I can go another week without talking to her. Okay, so I can forgive her…slowly. Like baby steps, Will thought, pulling his hot chocolate out of the microwave. He sipped on the warm drink and glanced around the room; it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Will had a tree up and a stocking among other decorations. The Spanish teacher was going to be spending the holidays with his parents and his brother, along with his brother's family. Finally making up his mind, Will whipped his cell phone out of his pocket.
He scrolled down his contacts, stopping at Emma. Will stopped for a second, composing a message in his head.
Hi, I'm Will Schuester. It's nice to meet you. ;) Will typed out, sending the text before he could stop himself. His cell buzzed immediately, Will looked down; he had a text from Emma. Hmm, I feel like I know you. ;) It read. Will smiled; glad they were finally talking about something normal. Me too, I really loved your song, Em. Thank you so much. I think we can try to slowly begin again. Will sent the text and eagerly awaited the reply. And I think that that's a great idea, Emma sent him. Will smiled before sending her one last text; ;).
So what did you guys think? We're on the road to Wemma recovery, yay! I hope you guys liked this chapter, I updated in three days which is awesome. Please review and I'll update soon! ;)
