Hey guys so you see I updated the Trip and am working on Glee World, Breath Again and Is it love. But I was on a role when it came to writing so I banged out this story. I hope you like it! And the fast updates lol.

I am working on writing out the stories in full then adding them, its so much fun to read the reviews as the story is unfolding, so remember to review and let me know what you think.


Mercedes Jones-Evans, wiped the tears from her eyes and sighed. She stared at the TV trying to go back to when everything made sense. She watched at the couple on screen shared their first official Kiss as man and wife. Everyone applauded as they walked down the aisle, waving as they exited the church so happy, so in love and so unaware of the pain the years to come would bring.

She pushed paused feeling the sharpness of pain hit her in the chest. She stood up glancing at her suitcases. The time had come for her to leave she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She couldn't leave, she couldn't just take the twins and walk out, could she? She bit her lip thinking about their honeymoon and how they promised each other forever.


9 years earlier…


Mercedes smiled as she stepped out onto the balcony and smiled overlooking the beautiful soft white sand and crisp blue water of the resort. Sam Evans walked onto the balcony of their honeymoon resort and pulled her close.

"Why Mrs. Evans I think island life agrees with you."

"It could be this beautiful honeymoon resort, or it could be married life I'm not sure yet."

Sam wrapped his arms around her waist. "Oh you're not sure? I mean you did say you do."

"I know but I am gonna need at least 24 hours to make sure I didn't make a mistake."

Sam turned her towards him.

"Regretting me already?"

"Well it has been ten whole minutes since you kissed me. I think you're getting sloppy already."

Sam pulled her up spinning her and then he dipped her planting light kisses up her neck. He pulled her back up and tilted her face towards his.

"I love you."

"Well with moves like that how can I not love you?

"And I know most men would say I'm a fool but I am glad we waited. Being here with you seems damn near perfect. I don't think I could be any happier than I am right now."

She smiled at him pulling away.

"Oh?"

Mercedes opened her robe revealing a lace red teddy.

"You sure there is nothing I can do to make it better?"

"Woman you are gonna kill me. Again?"

She smiled shimming towards the bed.

"At least you will die happy."

Sam walked off of the balcony and hopped on the bed.

"True."

Sam smiled as he turned her over.

"This is one of the best decisions I have made in my life."

Sam moved in to kiss her but Mercedes shook her head. "Uh uh what do you mean one of the best?"

Sam pulled her closer to him. "Don't worry in the top five of wonderful and amazing choices I made you are the number one best choice. I love you."

Mercedes smiled pulling his lips down to hers. She placed a soft kiss upon his lips before holding him tighter. Sam pulled away leaving her breathless. He placed her hair behind her ears.

"I want to make you a promise right here and right now."

Mercedes bit her bottom lip staring up at Sam. "Ok."

"I promise that no matter how busy we get or how bad things may be between us, we will work through it. We will always make time for each other."

Mercedes sighed, smiling widely. "That's big talk there Mr. Evans. Are you sure you can promise that?"

"Oh I am more than sure." He said leaning closer to her and capturing her lips in his.

Back to present

Mercedes sighed glancing at the photo on her dresser. It was of them on the beach. The door opened and her eyes widened seeing Sam starring at her. His eyes went to her suitcase, he folded his arms and cleared his throat.

"Going somewhere?"

"I thought you were staying at the office late?"

Sam stayed put shoving his hands into his pockets. "Are you leaving?"

Mercedes wiped her eyes staring down to the ground. "I think I am. Sam I love you but after today I don't see how I can stay."

Sam shook his head moving closer. "If you just let me explain."

She held up her hands making him stop in his tracks. "Sam stop. Just stop it. I know what I saw."

"So you just gonna take my kids from me?"

Mercedes bit her lip holding herself. "I would never do that. They need you, I just I think the best thing for us is to separate."

"Separate? Mercedes come on its not that serious."

Mercedes laughed bitterly. "It is serious! I am trying my best to keep it together but you, its not a big deal? You don't think what I walked in on was anything serious? And that is why I am leaving. I am going to sleep in the guest room and after I drop the twins off at school I am going to find a place to stay. We can figure the rest out later. Right now I am tired and I really don't feel like dealing with you or this anymore."

Mercedes moved towards the door but Sam stopped her. "I understand you are upset, but I am too. You lied to me, have been lying to me for years."

"And you cheated!" she yelled back at him.

Sam shook his head. "It was one kiss! I was hurt!"

"I am not doing this. Excuse me."

Sam rubbed the back of his neck. "You know what? Fine you wanna leave go right ahead I have an early surgery in the morning and I need some rest."

He pulled at his tie and walked into the master bath as she shook her head angrily and grabbed her bags taking them to the guest room. He was no longer the man she fell in love with and it broke her heart. She laid on her bed wishing he would have fought more. Wishing he would come into the room and begged her to forgive him.

But he never came into the room. He never apologized and by the time she awoke, he was already gone. So she took the kids to school, then found a rental house in which she would stay until she found a house she would eventually move into. It was a tough transition but they worked out a visitation schedule and decided to work together for the kids.
