Take Me Or Leave Me

Jump!

Here we are... On a real set with a camera and everything! 

"I can't believe we're finally breaking into the biz!" Tina told us all happily. 

"You guys, I want us to always remember this moment. Soon, there may be agents and managers and movie deals, but right now I want us to remember what it feels like to be here together as a team." Rachel said dramatically.

"Whatever. Soon as I get my record deal. I'm not speaking to any of you." Mercedes joked.

"Meg, your hair." Mike told me, standing next to me in fount of a mirror.

"Sorry?"

"Your hair is... Here let me." He said before putting a stand of my hair behind my ear. It was so hard not to lean into his hand but then I remembered that he just thinks we're friends.

While I was thinking, we gazed into each others eyes, for a second it looked like he would lean in but the owners of the store came in. WHY! WHY COME NOW?

"Okay, guys, we're very excited to have you here. We here at mattress land believe that mattresses aren't just for sleeping and fornicating anymore. We believe that buying an affordable mattress should be fun." Mr Cusperberg said to us all.

"All right, let's go over the script. I think it's pretty brilliant. I wrote it myself. Action!" Dennis instructed as we started to read from the script.

"Ah, me" Finn began.

"What's wrong?"

"We just lost our jobs... at the factory, and we can't get a good night's sleep."

Wow... We are not good.

"Chipper up! Come on down to mattress land. We've got near-wholesale prices to fit your style and pocketbook!" Rachel stopped reading from the crap script we had. "I-I'm sorry. Mr. Cusperberg, this script is brilliant, but we're a glee club, and we should perform."

"Perform the lines as I wrote them." Dennis argued.

"Wait a minute, Dennis. What did you have in mind?"

"Come on down to mattress land!" Mr Cusperberg shouted for us to repeat, which we did.

"Come on down to mattress land!"

We all got back to school to find 12 mattress in the choir room.

"So we got paid...in mattress." I said unimpressed.

"It's not about what we get paid in, the point is that we got on TV." Mike said. 

"Where's everyone else?" I asked seeing no one else in the room.

"I think they all went home." He replied, looking at the mattress.

"Oh, ok." I quietly said while also walking over to the tower of mattress.

Without knowing or thinking, we both had somehow moved so we were shoulder to shoulder. 

"Ur, sorry. I'll just stand over there-" I began to walk away but Mike stopped me but putting a hand on my waist.

Like the other times, he began to lean in for a kiss which I obviously leaned in to. We were so close, his lips were millimetres away! But before we kissed, he pulled away!

"Wait...I can't." He admitted not looking at me.

"W-why?"

"Because I can't."
