AN: Just a short little drabble set after the mattress fiasco. Inspired by lyrics from "White Flag" by Dido.


Watching the scene through the doorway, I knew that I had done the right thing. I might be losing my dream of bringing the Glee Club back to it's former glory of the early nineties but the club would go on. Those twelve kids in there, brought together from many walks of life, would see to that. They had the talent and the initiative - the mattress commercial was proof of that.

Yes I was walking away. Taking one for the team. By banning myself from competition it meant that those kids could perform at Sectionals. And though they might all doubt it right now, they would do fine. They had the talent to win and I had faith that they would go and do just that.

Glee Club was my passion. I had fought so hard for this club already thus far and banned or not I would continue to fight for them. Continue to make sure that these kids knew they had the talent to do whatever it is they wanted to do. I just couldn't do that as their director right now. Still, there were others ways to guide and influence them and I planned to continue to do just that.
