"So you're really leaving?" Kurt asks
I nod and say "My dad got a job in Kentucky"
I've known I was leaving for a week now but it didn't hit me until I'm standing in the choir telling everybody. Some are crying and others just have a really confused look on their face. It's hard. Ohio has been my home my entire life and these people mean so much to me. Some more than others like Kurt my best friend, he's the best best friend a person could ask for and I don't know what life will be like without him. Then there is Sam. The sweetest guy I know and the guy I've liked for a year now
"You're not gonna be here for your Junior year?" Brittany asks.
I shake my head no "Or Senior" I say.
Rachel asks "When do you leave?"
"In a few hours. I just came to say goodbye to everyone"
They all rally up and hug me and say how they are gonna miss me. They all back up and smile at them, now crying myself. Then I see Sam is still sitting down looking at the ground after a few minutes he gets up and walks out.
I follow him out into the hallway
"Sam! You're not even gonna say goodbye?" I yell after him.
He stops but doesn't say anything
"Wow I thought we friends."
"Dammnit Mercedes!" He says now turning around. I can't see the expression on my face but I can guess it looks a bit taken aback because that's how I feel.
"I thought after we went to prom together you would have realized-" he stops
"Realized what?"
"That you mean more to me then just a friend"
My mouth hangs open in shock. Never in a million years would I have thought that Sam would like me back. He's standing there looking at the ground waiting for me to say something but i don't know what to say so I do the only thing I can think of.
I walk up to him straddle his face in my hands and kiss him. It's one of those little and sweet kisses that you only get or give when you are saying goodbye. After a minute we stop and just hold our foreheads together and tears are now streaming down both of our faces,
"I never thought I could feel this way about anyone, Sam. You mean so much to me. And you will always have a special place in my heart." I pull away, take his hand in mine, and give it a little squeeze before I let it go and walk towards the doors.
