Chapter 1

There are times when I feel like there's no reason to keep going on; I'm the only gay guy in this whole town, Rachel and Finn score every solo it seems like no one wants me to have my time to shine and show what I can do. I love being in Glee and I can't believe the friends I have made through it; Mercedes and Artie and Tina, even our resident Cheerios and jocks aren't so bad. I just want my chance to stand in the spotlight, if I hadn't given up the Defying Gravity solo I may have had my chance, but I had to for my dad. I love him, and he's been amazing through everything but he can't deal with the calls that me singing a female solo would cause.

"Mr Schue?" I asked after practice.

"Yeah Kurt, what's up?" Mr Schuester replied in a distracted tone.

"I'm leaving Glee."

"What? Why?"

"I love Glee I really do, and I've made some amazing friends because of it. But the ridicule I face on a day to day basis was never this bad before I joined Glee, I was mostly invisible before besides my daily dumpster dives. I think I'd like to go back to that. The costs are just too great compared to the rewards." I replied.

"Kurt, your voice is an amazing gift, you can't just give it up because of some high school punks. You have so much potential at your finger tips that could lead to so much more." Mr Schue replied.

"My mind is made up Mr Schue, I'm doing this for me and for my family." I turned and walked out of the room never realising that another Glee member had been standing in the office and had heard everything.
