I do not own Glee or anything to do with it. That belongs to Ryan Murphy and FOX
This between the lines is set just before the Pilot started but grows the scene in Showmance where Emma is sat in her car crying over `All by Myself`
Glee: Between the lines
Ch7: Showmance
"So Emma. Done anything nice at the weekend" Will smiled at his friend who was putting her gloves on to eat sandwiches. Emma then looked up
"Huh. Oh sorry Will I was miles away. Too busy concentrating that no bugs went on my gloves. No No I didn't do anything at the weekend. Just sat in my apartment alone and did some reading. Did you?" Emma glanced up at Will with her brown eyes wide almost as if she wanted to know everything Will said
"No Terri was working the Sunday shift at Sheets n things so I just did some marking and just watched TV. Saturday we just watched a movie" Will gave a small smile
"That must be nice. I mean not the stopping in but having someone there beside you. Someone that you love" Emma said wistfully
"Emma there is someone out there who will be the person for you. They just haven't found you yet that's all" Will smiled. Emma gulped and nodded
"I don't think so. After all who would want someone who is so hung up on gloves and wipes that she wouldn't be able to go out on a proper date at a proper restaurant. No Emma I`m afraid you will be just like me. At one year over 30 alone. At least I have chosen that" Sue smirked leaning across the pairs table. Emma gave a sharp gulp looking down at her gloves and then ripping them off ran out of the faculty lounge. Sue then glanced at Will who was glaring at the Cheerio coach
"What!. William I am the only one who tells her straight. Everyone just pussyfoot around her because she has big bambi eyes and looks like a doll. Not me!" Sue replied confidently
"Sometimes I wonder why you ever become a teacher" Will muttered darkly "You know she has problems and sometimes you just push her too far"
"Where are you going?" Sue glanced at Will suspiciously
"Nowhere you would want to know" Will shook his head as he strode out of the faculty lounge. He was going to find Emma as she wasn't in her office however he glanced out of the window and noticed the rain was coming down heavily and there was no way Emma would set foot in the parking lot in this weather.
"Maybe she went to the canteen" Will thought as he headed down the corridor
Meanwhile Emma was sat in her car crying and listening to All by myself. This was nothing to do with her crush on Will, who she knew she would never have, as he was married and even if he was single he would never go for her. No this was to do with Sue telling her the truth. Maybe she was going to be alone. Looking out of the window Emma wiped her tears away and decided to get out of the car as the rain was subsiding slightly. She then made a decision that from this day she was going to find someone, she had read in the newspaper that there was a mixer that weekend and she was determined to go. Sue was right she needed to try and find someone. She couldn't pine after Will forever…
And done. Sorry that was a bit angsty but I thought it would be good to flesh out that scene where Emma was crying in her car. Now the next one will be set during Ballad I'm thinking as that was what this chapter was going to be before I got this idea and then the week after will be Sectionals and then maybe one more before I have to go for my 3rd and final eye op for now. So I have a couple of ideas going already so please review and I should get the next chapter out sometime next week.
