Sue didn't show it often, but she cared. She remembered the forgotten glee club members especially Matt.
Matt was the sweetest kid you could ever meet. His smile lit up a room and his eyes were always full of hope. He was very helpful outside of school and hated the bullying.
She remembered the first time he sang alone. Well it wasn't a solo. He was on stage singing after everything there ended.
"She loved him like he was
The last man on Earth
Gave him everything she ever had
He'd break her spirit down
Then come lovin' up on her
Give a little then take it back"
Sue marveled at the boy, his voice was sweet like honey and deeper than a well. It was soulful, it was more soulful than the Rachel Berry's voice.
"She'd tell him 'bout her dreams
He'd just shoot 'em down
Lord he loved to make her cry
You're crazy for believin'
You'll ever leave the ground
He said only angels know how to fly"
Matt's voice cracked as a few tears escaped. He looked hurt really. Sue wasn't that caring but she knew what this song was about and it didn't sit well with her.
"And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye over the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly"
Maybe Will knew what was wrong with this kid. He looked terrible, there's no way Schuester ignored something this serious.
"One Sunday morning
She didn't go to church
He wondered why she didn't leave
He went up to the bedroom
Found a note by the window
With the curtains blowin' in the breeze
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye over the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man you oughta see her fly"
With that she left him. She tried to pay a bit more attention to him noting he lost more confidence and got thinner. She was waiting for will to do something.
Next year, about a month into it she heard the news. Matt was found dead after being pushed out a window by his abusive father. She cried that night, she wished he could of flew instead of fell. But he was dead, the glee club said nothing about the dead ex-member, it was terrible.
She went to the funeral where she met his mother who ran from the abuse, never thinking of her son being his next target, it pissed Sue off, but she comforted the woman in honor of Matt.
