A day of regret

Mercedes Jones wanted to cry; all her emotions seemed to pile on her at one time. Hatred, betrayal, rage, sadness…the list went on and on because she was starting to feel herself lose control. As she, thought about the truth that was just revealed to her, she felt like she was going to be sick. She looked around her apartment trying to focus on anything to control her tears. She glanced at the black leather sofa across from her, then to the fifty-inch flat screen on the wall. She glanced down to her left hand and glanced at the engagement ring and wedding band that occupied her ring finger.

The tears fell, silently splashing on her legging covered legs, and she gazed at the picture frames on the wall. She took a deep breath and looked at Noah Puckerman forcing the tears to stop. After two years of Marriage she knew she was still in love with him but didn't know if she could forgive him for the bomb he just dropped on her. She looked him up and down. Any other day she would be aroused at the sight of him in his workout clothes which consisted of black sweat shorts and a black Nike beater she shook her head.

"Why?" she whispered softly trying to control her emotions.

"I don't know…I messed up and I know that I'm sorry."

She looked into his pleading eyes and didn't know who he was. She knew he loved her at one point, but when did he stop? Was it the way she spent more time with her mother then him? Could it be at night when he's in bed and she's traveling to be the daughter that her mother needed? Did he go to his ex because she wasn't woman enough to take care of home? Puck moved closer to her but she pushed him away. She didn't want him to touch her she didn't want him to look at her at all. She just wanted to leave. She grabbed her multi colored blue coach purse and threw it over her blue bubble print Ruched V-neck top.

"You make me sick I can't even look at you." She spat.

Puck went to her, towering over her 5'3 height with his strong tall body.

"Baby let me explain what happened. Please." He begged, praying she would hear him out.

She pulled away and gathered some distance from him. She couldn't believe what was going on and all she wanted to do was leave and figure things out on her own. She needed to make sense of this away from him away from the sight of the man who betrayed her in such a un original way. The knight in shining armor who used to fill her heart with hope for the future took off his mask to reveal he was no different than the dogs in the pound. He would hump anything he could get his hands on.

"EXPLAIN!" she screamed at him. "What is there to explain you cheated on me? Our Marriage Vows mean nothing."

"It wasn't like that. I went to her house to talk that is it. She came on to me."

"You went to talk?" she folded her hands across her chest.

"About what?" she spoke calmly which put Puck on edge; he felt this conversation was a trap but he had to take a chance.

"I just wanted to make sense of all this. Of us and what was going on."

"And of all people you turn to your ex?" she laughed. "For a very intelligent man you are just a dummy."

"I wasn't thinking!" he volleyed back to her.

She shook her head begging the tears to stop falling.

"I told you she was trouble. She's your ex! The stupid slut was just waiting for another chance to get with you and you just gave in didn't you?"

"Baby if you would just listen to me."

She closed the distance she just made between them and shoved him.

"Didn't you!"

She shoved him again but he grabbed her hands between him pulling her close to him.

"Yes ok and I'm sorry. She said she needed to check her messages when she came back she had nothing on. I wanted to stop but I couldn't."

Mercedes struggled to get free. "You could you just didn't want to."

She pushed Puck off of her and wiped her eyes looking at him.

"I thought you were the one."

"I am the one."

"No you're not. The man I met was so sweet and caring and I just wanted to be happy with you. But I was so wrong."

"Mercedes baby please."

She turned away from him looking at the ground.

"I am going to go. I got to pick Angel up from my mom's."

"Are you coming back?" he asked moving closer to her.

"No I'm not."

"I love you. I really do and being with her just confirmed that."

She turned towards him and couldn't stop the laugh that left her lips.

"Let me get this straight sleeping with her confirmed that you loved me? How in the hell can you ask someone to marry you and you don't know if you love them or not? Two years of marriage didn't do that?"

"Please just give me a chance. Let me make it up to you…I want you and only you."

"You had me." She spat as she Puck moved angrily closer to her.

"No I had part of you. You never gave yourself to me like she did. I wanted to show you a better way to love but you refused me."

"I told you in the beginning that I have been through a lot. It was hard for me to even tell you everything I went through but I did."

"Yeah and I respected that. I never pressured you to do anything. But you could be mean and moody. I couldn't do anything right. Between you being here and taking care of your mom, you never took care of me. Hell you wouldn't even let me get that close to Angel."

She turned towards him holding herself. "I gave you my heart. I gave you my soul I loved you and you did this just because I wouldn't be here for you. My mom has Breast Cancer do you understand that my mother needed me. And for the record Angel is my daughter not ours."

Puck threw his hands in the air exhaling angrily.

"Exactly! She is your daughter but I loved her like my own why was that was never good enough. You know that I wanted to adopt her. Hell she spends more time with your mom then here."

"She is in school and she helps Maggie and Devon and more importantly she makes my mom happy. It was what was best for her."

He grabbed her arm forcefully. "No! It was what was best for you so you would have an excuse to drive home a get away from me."

Mercedes pulled her arm away from him. "I am not doing this I got to go."

"Talk to me Mercedes."

"No."

Mercedes wiped her eyes and took her keys out of her purse. As she walked to the door Puck grabbed her.

"Mercedes please don't do this."

She whipped her hand across his face pushing him from her.

"You did it. Not me! You had sex with Brie or are you calling it making love?"

"I don't love her I love you. Please give me a chance to prove that to you. "

"No Puck."

Puck pulled her into a kiss. She pulled away and slapped him hard dead in his face again. She pointed her index finger at him.

"You don't have the right to kiss me. Not anymore."

"I love you Mercedes. I do. I know I messed up. But at least I told you. Not like some of those other guys who would have just let you believe they were faithful."

"Yeah and I love you too…But I told you from the start I am very serious about my life and who I am with and the first time your unfaithful I am leaving. I have to go."

Mercedes took the rings off her finger and held them out for Puck. He turned his head so she placed them on the coffee table. Then she walked closer to the door with tears streaming down her face. Puck blocked her exit.

"Why are you doing this? Just let me prove to you that this can work."

"I can't trust you Puck."

She pushed him away from her.

"How could you do this to me? To us?"

"Why are you running from me? Every time we get close to a breakthrough in our marriage you back away."

"Oh so cheating on me was a breakthrough in our marriage?"

"In a weird way yes, I may have done wrong but I have never been so sure of my feeling for us."

"I can't hear this."

"Merce I love you I really do."

She looked at him fighting back tears.

"Puck we are not going to do this. I am done with this ok I am done with you."

"Well I am not done with you. I need this to work. So talk to me please I know we can work this out."

"Move!"

"No."

Puck stood his ground and he and Mercedes were in a stand still.

He had loved Mercedes from the moment he first met her. Puck always knew there was something special about Mercedes. From the moment he saw her there was something about her that spoke to his soul and he always got what he wanted. He knew that sleeping with

Brie was wrong but he was weak when it came to women and he had been so good up until that point. Just looking into Mercedes's tear soaked eyes was punishment enough. Mercedes wiped her eyes.

"Don't make me do this please. Just move."

"No if you want me to move then you are going to have to make me."

Mercedes stared at him. Why did he have to hurt her? Why did all men have to hurt her? Tears filled her eyes and gladly slid down her face. Time seemed to stand still as they stared at each other both wondering what the other was thinking. Puck praying she would just stay and Mercedes thinking of all the men who hurt her. All the men who used her and realizing that Puck was now one of those men.

"Puck right now I think it's best if you just move to the side."

"Mercedes I love you. I need you. You and I belong together can't you see that?"

"Move." She said in more of a low growl then whisper.

"You are going to have to make me." Puck said putting his foot down.

Mercedes didn't want to hurt him. Even though he broke her heart, she still loved him. But she knew he wouldn't move. He would continue to stand there until she changed her mind. He was just as stubborn as she was. Puck folded his hands across his chest and Mercedes wiped her tears knowing what she had to do. She stomped on his left foot and kicked him in his right knee. He hobbled out the way falling to the ground as she left the apartment and walked to her car barely aware of her surroundings. As she entered her car she started it but just sat there, not making any effort to go forward or move back.

She wanted to cry but she couldn't hold it in. She put her favorite CD in and pressed 7. Puck always thought she was crazy for her method of healing. But it's the only way Mercedes knew, music spoke to her soul. Once upon a time she thought she would be a singer, but everything changed and reality hit her. She turned the volume up and locked her doors. As "I won't Cry" by Profyle came on she felt the heaviness of her heart become too much and she began to cry. She loved Puck. They had been together for fifteen months before he asked her to marry him, and she thought they were moving in the right direction. When he asked her to marry him, she thought things were finally going to be normal for the first time in her life.

Mercedes grew up the second oldest in her family. Her mom kicked her dad out when she was a teen. He was an addict with no morals and a low down dirty man. Her mom Genie worked night and day, while Mercedes helped take care of her two younger siblings. Mercedes never had extra money to spend on things she wanted but didn't need, but she was happy. When she was accepted to a University outside of her hometown she didn't want to go but her mother thought it was a great chance for a new start, Mercedes had given up so much, had been through so much, that going to school, even two hours away was a gift.. When her mom became sick, Mercedes had to take care of the family. Derek, her older brother was already gone and into his own mess following the footsteps of their father and Mercedes didn't want him taking care of them so she felt she should sacrifice for her family.

Her mother had Breast Cancer it all hit them out of the blue and Mercedes new she needed to do everything she could to make everything better for her mother. Once she went into remission, Genie urged Mercedes to go to school. And even though she had no money and had to take out loans, she was excited that she could go.

That is when she met Puck. She couldn't believe someone as handsome and smart as he could want to be with her. He was in his last year of law school with his life going the way he always planned. He had no interest in being with just one woman. He prided himself on being with as many women as he could get. When he met Mercedes, she took him for a loop. She was stubborn and hardheaded, but she was also beautiful and headstrong, and the moment she opened her mouth he wanted to get to know her. He had no idea that meeting her would change him forever.

He stood at 6'2 and had green eyes that melted Mercedes's soul when he looked into hers. After a month of him, casually showing up to her job as an assistant for Dr. Miles the legal department head, she finally agreed to go out with him.

As Mercedes brought her thoughts back to reality, she was overtaken by sadness again. She thought back to that man she fell in live with. To the man who astounded her. His mind was sharp and his body was that of an Adonis, the few times a month they made love she was never disappointed. His smile would make her day even if she was in a funk. He was a sweet man who made her feel like she was the most important woman in the world. Now three and a half years later she was sitting in her car crying over him. He broke her heart and she could never get over that.
