I never thought that this would happen. In the past few years it seemed like Sue was unstoppable, sure there was the incident with the gun when she had to resign from her post but ever since then she had been making good changes to the school; really making a difference even if the students didn't like all of them. Sure, her methods were sometimes cruel, like the fat shaming and releasing the hounds but she had done so much good for McKinley that I usually forgot about the bad things she did.

For one, she had allowed me to come back and to do my second year of my degree as the Coach of the Cheerio's. She could have refused and then I would have had to find somewhere else to work for a year and she had also been emailing my tutors to remind them on what I was doing and the progress I was making. It was something that she didn't have to do but I was very grateful for everything she had done for me, even when I was in high school and she saw potential in me that no one else could see.

Sue may not have been the nicest person, especially when it came to the Glee Club but she had always cared about making the school a safer place. She had been extremely involved in the process when Coach Beiste came back to McKinley after his surgery, making sure that he felt welcomed and punishing anyone who disagreed with the change. Sue was a difficult person to understand, no one really did, but I trusted her in ways that no one else did and I felt sorry that her career had ended the way that it did.

"Sam, what are you watching?" I asked as I walked into the lounge, seeing my fiancé lying across the couch with a bowl of popcorn. "You've been there for ages."

"It's the show about Sue, they're interviewing her." He replied, shovelling a handful of popcorn into his mouth, before passing the bowl to me. "Do you want some?"

"No thanks, I have to watch what I eat so that I can look good in my wedding dress." I joked, being truthful about needing to watch what I ate but teasing him because we knew that we weren't getting married anytime soon.

"I don't care what you wear. You could wear nothing and you'd be perfect."

"That's really sweet but I don't think my Dad would approve of me being naked at my wedding." I rolled my eyes pushing the bowl back towards him.

"No, but I would." He smirked, wiggling his eyebrows at me and then taking another handful of popcorn.

"I still can't believe that they fired Sue." I muttered, watching her worried expression on the television, she really liked her job.

"I know and here's the crazy part, it was Becky who sold her out."

"Wow, I wonder what happened between them? They were always really close; I didn't know that they had an argument."

Sam didn't say anything else as we carried on watching the show and I even felt bad for her when she asked if I had given an interview but I had refused to; not wanting to seem political on television. My Dad had given an interview and some of the Glee kids had said some things about her but I wanted to stay out of the argument. I liked Sue but I knew how many people didn't and it seemed cowardly but I didn't want to ruin my reputation by sticking up for someone that no one liked. I just wanted to focus on training the Cheerio's, helping New Directions win Sectionals and then my future with Sam because that's what really mattered to me.
