Mike walked around the corner. Burt walked around the corner. Tina and Carole walked around the corner. Puck, Quinn, Sam, Mercedes, Lauren (carrying Artie), Brittany and Santana walked around the corner. No expected what they found.
Sue Sylvester was lying on the ground in the arms of a gunman. Rachel was crying into Finn’s shoulder. Finn was all his knees with his hand on Kurt shoulder. Kurt and Blaine were clinging onto each other so tightly that it looked painful.
Everyone’s eyes went back to the centre of the room. The gunman was gently stroking Sue’s face and whispering.
“Sue” He said mournfully.
“Hello Andy” She replied.
“Long time no see”
“Yeah, remember why?”
Those words hit Greyson like a train.
“Sue, I’m so sorry for what I did to you. I messed up big time. You were the only person I ever loved”
Everyone looked shocked.
Sue gave a half-hearted chuckle.
“Yeah? And look where it’s gotten you. Blowing buildings up and shooting children”
“I’m not really in a good place right now. Kendra offered to give me anything I wanted. So I was prepared to do whatever necessary”
“And now look where that’s gotten you”
Greyson’s eyes were filling with tears. He looked down at his hands, which were on Sue’s hips, and saw they were covered in blood. He looked and saw the bullet wound. The fatal bullet wound. Sue groaned in pain. She looked at Kurt, Blaine, Finn and Rachel.
“See what you kids have done to me?” She said in an obvious attempt at a joke.
Kurt was crying now. Blaine was rubbing his back although, he too, was on the brink of tears. Finn opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Sue suddenly realised how great the audience was, she nodded at the Glee club.
“I’m sorry I didn’t to more to protect your son” Sue said towards Burt.
Burt said nothing. He moved to stand next to Carole and took her hand. Mike came over and did the same to Tina.
“Sue...” Greyson was saying, choking back tears.
“Improve yourself” was her response, “In a few minutes, do something to help everyone in this room”
“But I - ”
“For me” Sue said as a tear rolled down her face.
“Of course” Greyson said immediately, “Anything for you Sue”
Brittany had tears following down her face, Santana had wrapped her arms around her but her eyes were also moist. Even Puck with his ‘badass-ness’ was trying not to cry. Quinn turned into his chest and he could tell from her shaking that she was crying.
“Sue, I love you” Greyson said, his voice breaking.
“And you where it’s gotten you” Sue repeated closing her eyes.
“Sue - ”
“Don’t” she interrupted sounding weaker.
There was a silence as Sue breathing became more uneven.
“Tell Shuester to stop putting butter in his hair” Sue said softly.
The Glee club gave a small laugh because they were at a loss of what else to do.
Sue gave a moan of pain then her hands fell to her sides.
Greyson, who was crying openly at this point, moved. He put his hands on Sue’s neck and felt for a pulse. There was none. Greyson broke. He began sobbing his heart out. He was pounding the floor in his grief. Everyone who wasn’t crying before was definitely crying now. Everyone was silent as Greyson sobs echoed off the walls. No one knew how to react. Sue Sylvester had always tortured the Glee club however her final act had been saving their lives. After a few moments Carole moved forwards and gently placed a hand of Greyson’s shoulder. He jumped and looked up at her. Carole opened her mouth to speak but he interrupted her.
“No” he said simply.
“Perhaps we could - ”
“NO!” He yelled, interrupting Carole again, “No, no, no, no, no! Sue! I just – It’s not – I’m not – She’s – NO!”
Greyson got to his feet with a wild look in his eyes. Carole took a step back.
“Kendra!” Greyson yelled grabbing his gun with his blood stained hands. He looked around the room for a moment then ran down the corridor screaming “Kendra” over and over again. Everyone was silent as they listened to his fading footsteps and screams. They looked at the body of Sue, in one of her signature tracksuits. A blue one, with a crimson stain that was still spreading. Everyone spun around when they heard a woman scream, followed by a gunshot, followed by silence.
