Singing Hearts - Quinn Fabray x OC

Throwdown

Since the day Sue Sylvester strutted into the choir room as the new Glee Club
co-director. The club has been flipped upside down and become even more of a nightmare than it already was. For the past week, Mr. Shoe and Sue have been going at it like some angry divorced parents.

They argue constantly, about anything and Vesper isn't sure how much she can handle before she does something that will get her in trouble. It's exhausting watching them argue constantly. It reminds Vesper of how her parents act at home.

She would have ditched long ago but she was worried about Quinn. What if Sue lost it again and tried throwing a chair at Mr. Shoe and what if that chair just happens to hit Quinn?

" As we head into sectionals I want to get some feedback like what kind of stuff you guys would like to be doing" Mr. Shoe explained to the glee club as he sat backward on a chair.

" I'd rather not do dancing anymore " Vesper muttered lazily, playing on her phone as
Mr. Shoe went along and ignored her, like always.

"Is there anything, any music in particular, that you guys want to do?"

" Could we maybe try something a little more....black?" Mercedes asked, with a look around the room.

" I agree. We do an awful lot of show tunes" Kurt voiced, making Rachel huff.

" It's Glee Club, not Krunk Club" Rachel instantly disagreed, making Mercedes shake her head as she turned to look at Rachel's big ass nose.

" Don't make me take you to the carpet" she sassily said, making Vesper laugh under her breath, she would like to see that.

" Fantastic" Mr. Shoe interrupted before Rachel got her nose broken. " Thanks, Mercedes. Kurt. Dully noted" Everyone already knew that was code for never happening.

" Anything else?" Shoe asked the club.

" I can pop and lock" Mike hesitantly spoke from the back of the class.

" Not really what we're going for, Mike, but....noted. Noted yes" Vesper watched Shoe turn him down with a shrug and a wince making Mike shrink into himself, regretting even talking. It left Vesper to roll her eyes as the bell rang.

Vesper sighed as she walked out of her bathroom freshly showered. It was late and she had just finished putting Toni down for bed. Vesper's dad was out of town for a 'business trip' as he put it. So she wasn't going to be seeing him for at least a week. And she didn't know where her mom was so Vesper could only guess she was out taking advantage of the fact her husband was out of town.

It left Vesper disappointed, she wasn't bothered by their distance anymore, she had learned to live with it. But it still didn't mean she wasn't bothered by how quick they were to forget about Toni. It made her sad that he barely even knew much about his parents. He didn't call out for them, he never did, only Vesper and the babysitter.

So with the more added responsibility, Vesper knew she was going to have to find some more time to head to band practice. With her schedule now being more full than normal. Maybe she'll just take Toni with her to band practice.

She could just make sure the guys don't smoke around him or do anything illegal. She could slip on noise-canceling headphones over his little ears. It will all be good. She'll make sure to call Avery in the morning to ask, just to be sure. With all the tension in her shoulders, Vesper knows she needs a break to just relax.

She looked over to the box of cigarettes on her nightstand Vesper paused before shaking her head. She's supposed to be cutting back on them, which she has but she still takes one here and there.
