Hi! I'm Beth and this is my first foray into the Glee fandom for writing, although I have been reading for months. I hope you enjoy and critique fairly. This is just a prologue, but I am already hard at work at the first chapter. This idea has been in my head for a while, so I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, and I probably never will.
They got the call the morning of their seventh preview. Their beloved director Jeannie has suddenly passed of a heart defect the night before. Tonight's performance would be their last. All of their financial backing fell through once they no longer had the benefit of their seasoned and renowned director.
The cast was devastated. They had put so much hope and heart into Spring Awakening and now it was gone forever. Their chance to change people with this show had passed. They were heartbroken.
That night's performance was electric, sparking with intensity and emotion. Jeannie would have been so crowd. There wasn't a dry eye in the house between the audience and the cast and crew. Everyone was left drained but hopeful for their own futures.
The cast and crew stayed backstage for hours after the house emptied out, laughing and weeping as they recalled all their times together.
It was at the end of this night that Rachel Berry dropped another bombshell on them.
Her dads had decided that since Spring Awakening was over, she would be moving to some cow town in Ohio to "get a taste of life outside the city, expand her horizons, and move through her grief at the death of Jeannie, who was like a mother to her."
Rachel was obviously being forced to do this, and the group couldn't fault her for something that was out of her control. Slowly they pulled into one last group hug with Rachel at the center. The group was a tangle of arms and legs, buzzing with "good byes", "I'll miss yous", and "keep in touchs."
In the very center was a group of six, Rachel and her boyfriend Alex, her brother Nate and her best friends Evyn, Johnny, and Abbi. The group was standing their just hugging, tears running down their faces and telling each other "I love you."
The day after the funeral, Rachel left them all behind and went off to start her new life in Lima, Ohio.
This is way shorter than my normal work, but I needed a short little part about her leaving New York to start it off. This is only a prologue. The first chapter will deal with McKinley High's first day of school, and their first day with the undeniable force that is Rachel Berry. Please tell me what you think of this idea!
Love, Beth
