''You've been together for six years. It's about time,'' Santana smirks from her spot on the couch.
I laugh a little, rolling my eyes ,''She's got a point, Rach.''
She nods, a smile on her face.
''I know, I know. Now you guys need to help me pick out a wedding dress.''
''What about this one,'' Quinn asks, holding up an ivory mermaid dress.
''That's beautiful,'' Tina smiles as she shifts her daughter, Riley, to her other hip ,''I like that one. And this strapless, mermaid one.''
''What about one with a sweetheart neckline,'' Brittany asks, holding it up.
''I loe that!,'' Sugar says as she holds her son.
I smile as I look at some of my best friends. This is the first time we have all been together since graduation.
Tina and Mike are married, and have a girl an boy: Riley and Ray. Mike owns his own dance studio , and Tina gives singing lessons there on the weekends. They live in Florida.

Quinn is starting her own fashion magazine.
Rachel is a Broadway star, and lives in New York. She is finally getting married after an ''on-again-off-again'' relationship.
''Diva, I have't seen you in months, and you look down. What's wrong?,'' a smooth voice says as my best friend slips his arm through mine.
''Nothing, Kurtie,'' I smile before leaning my head on his shoulder.
Kurt Hummel is engaged to Blaine Andersn. They live in New York. Kurt is a fashion consultant, and Blaine teaches music to kids and works with the commuity theatre.
''Cedes, may I say that you look absolutely stunning in that outfit,'' he asks as we follow the others trough the store.
''Why thank you, Kurtie.''
I am wearing blue jeans, black heels, a purple tank, and a black leather jacket. My hair is in waes, my bangs pushed to the side, my make up flawless.
''Anytime, Cedes.''
''Guys,'' Quinn says as she run toward us,'' We foud the perfect dress.''
We follow her to the back of the store, where Rachel is modeling the dress for Santana, Brittany, and Tina.
It's knee length and white with long, lacey sleeves.
''Rachel...that...is...stunning!,'' Kurt and I say at the same time.
''Great minds think alike,'' Rahcel smiles, doing a little curtsy ,''But Santana picked it out, so I can't take credit.''
''You look beautiful, Rachel,'' Tina smiles as she moves Riley to her left hip so that she can hug Rachel.
I smile. I've really missed them, so much.
My phone goes off, and I check it.
One new message. 12:47 p.m.
Hey, baby ;D I'm outside. Come on out.
''Guys, my boy's here. I've gotta run.''
''Okay, but you are coming to the sleepover tomorrow night at my house, right?,'' Rachel asks as she rushes to give me a hug.
''Yes, of course,'' I smile before hugging her back ,''I'll see yo later.''
I grab my purse and walk out the store.
Shielding the sun with my hand, I smile as I spy a familiar black car with an even more familiar tall, handsome, blonde man standing next to it.
Sam Evans and I have been together since high school. We live together in California.
''Hey,'' he smiles before kissing my forehead.
''Hi,'' I smile.
He opens my door for me, and I get in.
''Thank you,'' I smile, he nods and closes the door before getting in on the driver's side and driving off.
''Where are we going,'' I ask as we turn the corner.
''We are going to an interview I have set up for you. Later tonight, we're going to that Italian restaraunt with the others.''
I nod, leaning back in my seat and thiking about what song I am going to sing.
Three hours later, Sam and I walk back to the car.
''It's fine, Cedes. Next time you'll do great i the audition.''
I shrug, playing with a strand of my hair ,''That Lilly girl was a really good singer.''
''You're better,'' he says as we drie back to the hotel.
Rolling my eyes, I say ,''Love, you have to say that. You're my boyfriend and you're biased.''
''Maybe, but I know talent when I hear it.''
We are back at the hotel now.
He looks at his watch and smiles ,''We have three hours before we have to be at the restaraut, so an two and a half hours to get ready. I'll meet you in the lobby at six thirty.''
''Okay,'' I smile, kiss him on the cheek, and open the door to my room.
Two and a half hours later, I walk down to the lobby.
I have on a knee length, sleeveles red dress, a black caridagn, and black heels, My hair falls down in curls, bangs brushed to the side, a red rose clip in my hair.
''Miss Mercedes Jones, you look beautiful.''
I spin around, and find Sam looking at me.
''And you look handsome.''
He smiles. He is wearing a white button up shirt, grey jacket. and grey sweatpants. He has on black shoes.
''Are you ready,'' he asks, holding out his hand.
''Yes,'' I smile as I take his hand.
The moment we get there, I hear:''MERCEDES! TROUTY MOUTH!''
''Santana,'' Sam grumbles fondly, and I can't help but laugh.
She pulls us into a hug.
''You look beautiful, Santana. You two, Brittany.''
Santana is wearing pink, kneelength, strapless dress. She has on pink heels, an her hair falls straight down.
Brittany has on a knee length, off the shoulder, aqua blue dress. Her hair is in a curly bun, and she has on aqua blue heels.
''Good to see you, guys,'' Quinn smiles as she pulls Sam and I into a hug. with one arm as she is holding Ray.
She is wearing a knee length, strapless, yellow dres, nallet flats, and yellow headband in her curly hair.
''Good to see you too, Quinn,'' Sam smiles a he moves to hug Tina.
''Tina, I love your dress!,'' I squeal.
''Thanks,'' she smiles as she holds Riley.
Tina is wearing a navy blue, knee length, one sleeve dress, and her hair is in a ponytail. She has on black heels.
''Mercy! Sam,'' Mike laughs before pulling us into a hug.
''Mike Chang, I han't see you in forever!,'' I laugh before hugging him back.
''How have you been,'' Sam asks.
''Great,'' he smiles as he takes Ray from Quinn.
He's wearing black pants, a green button up shirt, black shoes, and a black jacket.
''Samcedes!,'' a familiar man with a mowhawk say as he pullls us both into a hug.
''Puck!,'' I laugh, hugging him back.
''My turn,''Artie smile, wheeling over to us and hugging us.
''Everyone's here except Finn and Rachel,'' Brittany says.
''Forget about us,'' Kurt asks as he steps through the door with Blaine.
''Blaine, get your butt over here, I haven't seen you in almost a year!,'' I demand, a msile on both of her faces as I pull him into a hug.
Kurt and Sam say hello as Blaine and I join the others.
''Now all we have to do is wait for Finn and Rachel.''
''No need to wait any longer, we have arrived!,'' Rachel anounces, a grin on her face as she steos through the door with Finn.
She looks amazing, wearing a white, knee length, halter dress. Her hair is in a curly side bun, and she has on white heels.
Finn is next to her, and he has on black pants, a white button up shirt, black shoes, and a black jacket.
After all the greetingss our done, we our seated at a table.
Kurt, Blaine, Rachel,Santana, Quinn,Tina and I on one side Finn, Brittany, Puck, Artie, and Mike and Sam on the other.
''What where you and Kurt talking about,'' I ask Sam as he chews his pasta.
''Nothing important,'' heshrugs before eating his pasta again.
I decide to get it go, and just dig into my lasagna.
When we are all done eating, Rachel suggests we go dancing.
I smile as I watch my friends twirl on the dance floor. It's just like old times.
''What are you thiking about,'' Sam asks a he wraps his arms around me from behind.
''Nothing,'' I smile as the music changes.
So In Love.
''So in loe are we too, that we on't know what to do,'' Sam sings in my ear.
''They're playing our song,'' he smiles, kissing my cheek.
''Mhmm,'' I murmur.
I could stay right there forever.
''Let's go for a walk,'' he says as he pulls e twards the door.
We're walking down to the balcoy, holding hands.
''It's a beautiful night,'' I tell him as we look at the stars.
''You're a beautiful woman,'' he counters, tucking my hair behind my ear.
''And you're handsome,'' I smile, kissing his cheek.
We stand in scilence for a couple of minutes.
''Mercedes,'' he says, looking oer at me.
''Hm,'' I mumur, looking at him.
''I love you. So much. Yu're so smart, beautiful, funy, and talented. Every moment with you means so much to me...''
He gets on one knee.o
''Sam,'' I gasp, covering my mouth with my hands and feeling tears well in my eyes.
''Will you marry me?''
''Yes! Yes!,'' I whisper before crushing my mouth to his, wrapping my arms around his neck, his around my waist as we get into the kiss.
After a few more minutes on the balcony, we decide to go back in.
''Guys, we're gonna head back to the hotel. We'll see you tomorrow.,'' Sam says as we say our goodbyes.
''I'm so tired,'' I yawn as I put my seatbelt on.''
''Well, we'll be back at the hotel soon Then you can sleep.''
He pulls off, and we head back to the hotel.
Right when we are about to turn the corner, I hear a horn honk.
I seecar lights, and I feel something hit the car full force.
None of it really registers. People yelling for someone to call an ambulance, A man getting out of his car and wlking towards us...none of that matters.
The last thing I am even able to focus on is Sam saying :''Mercedes!''
And then everything goes black.
