Mercedes Prov:
I couldn't believe I was finally done with high school. The day I have been waiting all my life for is finally here. I had finally graduated high school and was on my way to beginning a new chapter in my life. The best part was I was spending this new chapter and the summer with my best friend/ sister Quinn, and my other best friend Santana.
Quinn and I have known each other ever since kindergarten. There wasn't any grand gesture that tied us together. Nothing big really happened. All I can tell you is one minute I am sitting alone at my assigned desk, and the next thing I know I have this blonde little curly haired girl was sitting next to me. She took out her crayons and turned to look at me, and said "Would you like to share my crayons with me." I nodded my head and we started to color together.
That's all it took for our friendship to take flight. After that we spent every waking moment together. I don't think a day went by that we weren't together, we even went on family vacations with the other ones family. We didn't even consider each other to be friends. At this point we just called each other sisters, soul sisters actually. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her and there's nothing she wouldn't do for me. We meant everything to one another.
I was happy to have a friend like her because with the family I had I really needed it. My mom and dad were always busy. They were never really home, and when they were they were always doing something work related. I knew they cared about me, and that they loved me. But it was hard to believe it when I barely got a how are you doing from them when I saw them. That's why I was glade I had Quinn and her family to be there for me. They were like my second family and I was grateful to have them with me.
But nothing in the past really mattered. All that mattered at the moment was I was going to be spending the summer with Quinn, and a few of our other best friends up at Quinn's families beach house. Yeah that's right her family has a beach house. They were beyond rich. But they weren't one of those asshole families who treated everyone else like shit. They actually cared about people and tried to help others who were less fortunate out as much as they could.
I was currently waiting for Quinn and the rest of my friends to show up when I heard my phone go off. I looked down to see that my mother was calling me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Mercedes have you left the house yet?" She asked as me. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. My parents rarely call me, and when they do it never has anything to do with me.
"No mother I have not left the house yet. I will be leaving in a few minutes. Why?"
"Well I just wanted to make sure I reminded you to lock up. We have a lot of valuable items dear." I found myself again rolling my eyes. You see my family was rich as well. Maybe not as rich as Quinn and her family, but we were rich. With my father being a doctor and my mother being a lawyer how could we not be?
I heard a knock at my front door. "Hold on mom." I said to her. I walked over to the door and opened it. There stood Quinn, Santana, and Tina. I smiled at them and gestured for them to come in.
'Your mom' Quinn mouthed to me. I nodded my head, we both rolled our eyes and laughed.
"Okay mom I'm back. Yes I plan on locking everything up. So don't worry nothing will be missing when you get back." My friends and I laughed at my words. I could hear my mother scoff on the other side of the line.
"Okay well I'll be talking to you soon." Before I could say anything she had hung up the phone. It use to bug me that neither of my parents said I love you to me, but now it meant nothing. I didn't need their love to help me get threw life, that's why I had Quinn, my friends, and Quinn's family. They were all I would ever need in life.
"Sounds like you just got off the phone with the wicked witch of the west." Santana said as she picked up one of my begs.
"How did you know? Was it my platonic voice, or the sound of her annoyingness coming threw the phone?" I questioned as Quinn, Tina, and grabbed the rest of my bags.
"I would say both." Jenna said causing us all to laugh. We walked out to Quinn's ford focus and put my bags in.
"Listen I don't want to think about my parents right now, actually I would rather not talk about them at all this summer. I want to spend the summer with my best friends, and having the time of our lives before we go off to college." I said to them. They all nodded their heads in agreement.
"You said it girl, this summer is going to be amazing!" Quinn said to me. "Now lets get a move on. I want to be there before dark. You know I hate driving in the dark." Quinn said to us as she got into the car. I hopped in the passenger seat and buckled up.
"Buckle up Santana." Quinn, Tina, and I all said at once, causing us to laugh. Santana hated wearing a seat belt, and has been busted on more then one account for not wearing one. So now whenever one of us is with her we constantly remind her to buckle up.
Santana groaned but she grabbed her seat belt and buckled up anyway. "Okay everyone I'm buckled up now, let's get going." She said to us. Quinn smiled at us and started up the car.
We were only ten minutes away from Quinn's camp when she turned to look at me gave me her don't hate me look.
"What did you do?" I asked her. She turned back to look at the road.
"Well you see, I kinda forgot to tell you something."
"Oh fuck the shit is about to hit the fan." Santana said from the back seat.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on?" No one said anything for a while. Then Quinn turned to look at me.
"Samandhisfriendsaregoingtobetherethissummeraswell." She spoke so quickly I barely heard what she had said.
"What did you say?" I asked her, making her repeat herself. She took a deep breath and looked at me again.
"Sam and his friend are going to be there this summer as well." She said to me as she quickly looked back at the road.
I honestly didn't know what to say. I was beyond shocked, I was speechless. I couldn't believe what I had just heard, this must be some kind of joke. There is no way she just said Sam and his friends were going to be at her beach house as well. This has to be some kind of joke, please tell me she was messing around.
"Are you messing with me Quinn? Please tell me your messing around with me, and that Sam is not going to be there this whole summer." I said to her as I turned to look at her. She gave me an apologetic smile.
"I'm afraid not Mercy. I had originally thought it was going to be just us there. But he called a few days ago to tell me that he would be there as well. I was really looking forward to spending the summer with you guys. So instead of telling you that he would be there I decided that I wouldn't tell you until we were to far away from home for you to do anything."
I looked at her face to make sure she truly wasn't messing with me. I sat there trying to think about everything she had just said. If her camp wasn't four hours away from where we lived then I would definitely be finding my way home some how. I know I might sound dramatic, but people have no idea what a pain in the ass Sam really was.
Sam was Quinn's older brother, by a year. And the one person I really couldn't stand. Sam had always found a way to torment me. Ever since I was younger, I remember the first time we met. It was mine and Quinn's first sleepover and I had just arrived at their house. A little blonde boy opened the door and smiled at us. He said his name was Sam and he welcomed us into his home. After my nanny left me and Quinn bolted up the stairs and into her room. We played in there for a while.
When Sam had asked if he could join Quinn said no girls only. I remember feeling really bad for him, because I didn't understand why he couldn't play. Back then I never really understood the boys only girls only thing. It seemed stupid to me, but Quinn was my friend and I was having fun playing with her. So when Sam asked if I minded I sided with Quinn. He slammed the door, on us and didn't speak to us for the rest of the day.
Ever since then Sam Fabray has hated me. I even tried apologizing the next day but he wouldn't listen to me. Instead he tripped me and I fell into mud. That was the day I started to hate Sam right back. Ever since then we have been at each others throats, always giving the other one a hard time. When ever we were with one another it was a bad time. We constantly fought or argued over something. I tried to ignore him but it seemed like he was always trying to get on my nerves in some way.
"Hey it's going to be okay. I promise Sam isn't going to be that bad. Plus were going to have an amazing summer together. Don't let Sam being there ruin it." Quinn said to me pulling me out of my train of thought. I sighed at her words, but nodded my head. Quinn was right, I shouldn't let Sam being around piss me off. This was our summer before college and I was going to make the best out of it.
"Yeah it's going to be an amazing time. Plus we all know that deep down Sam is just afraid to tell you how much he likes you." Tina said to me. I laughed at her words expecting the rest of the girls to laugh with me. But instead they just sat there.
"Is there a reason as to why you guys aren't laughing? I mean come on there is no way Sam likes me. When Sam likes me hell will freeze over."
"Oh come on girl the only reason to why Sam is such an ass to you is because he wishes he could get into those panties of yours." Naya said to me causing Tina and Quinn to laugh.
I was about to respond, but then I realized the car was stopped and we were at the beach house. "Finally." Quinn said as she got out of the car to stretch. Tina and Santana followed her. I sat there for a moment before I got out of the car as well. I looked up and saw Sam and his friends walking over to us, with his friends
"Damn Sam you never told me your sister and her friends were so hot!" A guy with a mow hawk said as he winked at us. I couldn't help but blush some at his words.
"You can say that again!" Another guy who was shirtless said as he smiled sweetly at us.
"That's because they're not, they're annoying." Sam said to everyone as he walked up to Quinn. "Hey there little sister, ready to have some fun this summer." He asked Quinn as he squeezed her.
"Can't freaking breath here Sam." Quinn said to him as she squirmed her way out of his grasp.
"Hey there Santana and Tina. Glade you could make it." He said to them as he gave them both a hug. They hugged him back and smiled at him.
"Damn Sam college has been good to you. If I wasn't swinging for the other team, I would definitely be all over you." Santana said to him as she ran her hand down his chest. He smirked at her.
"When ever your ready Santana, I'm here for you." He said to her as he winked at her. His eyes then traveled to be, and his smile grew.
"Oh and if it isn't my favorite Cupcake." He said as he made his way over to where I was with his arms spread out for a hug. I dodged his hug and moved away from him.
"No way am I letting you near me Sam." I said to him.
"And why is that Cupcake?" He questioned as walked closer to me. Most people would think Cupcake was a cute nickname. Well let me tell you it isn't at all cute. The reason as to why he calls me cupcake was because when we were younger he smashed a cupcake into my face on my eighth birthday. Ever since then he continues to call me cupcake. He knows it bugs the shit out of me, yet he still calls me it.
"Hey leave hot mama alone." The guys with the mow hawk said to me as he put his arm around me. "Hey there hot stuff my name is Puck, and that Asian nerd over there is Mike." But you can call me anything you want." Puck said to me as he kissed my hand.
"Okay guys that's enough flirting with my sisters friends lets help them bring their luggage into house." Sam said to them. The guys nodded their heads and started to grab our bags. It only took a few trips to get all of our luggage into the house.
"Damn girls pack so much shit. I mean I have like one and a half bags, you guys have like six each." Puck said as he dropped the last of our bags onto the floor.
"That's because girls like to actually put an effort into the way we look. We don't just wake up looking good." Quinn said to him as she dropped her bags as well.
"I highly doubt you wake up looking bad." Puck said back to her causing Quinn to blush.
I looked around and notice I didn't have my purse with me. "Hey Quinn did you see my purse?" I asked her. Breaking her out of her starring contest with Puck.
She turned to look at me. "No I didn't see it. Maybe you left it in the car." She said to me as she turned back to her luggage.
"I'll be right back." I said to them as I walked out of the house and into Quinn's car. I reached into the Quinn's car, and grabbed my purse. As I was standing back up I felt someone behind me. I quickly turned around to see Sam standing there.
"What do you want Sam?" I asked him as I shut the door. I tried to move past him but he blocked my way. "Seriously Sam, what is it you need?" I asked again.
"I can't just come out here to make sure you were okay, and didn't need any help?" He questioned as he closed the space between us.
"You trying to help me out? Please don't make me laugh." I said to him as I backed up trying to get away from him. He came closer and put both hands onto each side of me. "Sam what are you doing?"
"Did I tell you how beautiful you look?" He asked me as he moved closer.
"Sam seriously what is wrong with you?" I asked as I tried to push myself further into the car.
"Nothing is wrong with me Cupcake. I just think your beautiful."
"Oh please." I scuffed. "I know you better then that Sam, remember?"
" You know people can change?" He said to me as he closed the distance between us so there was none.
"Guys like you don't change Sam." I said to him. He looked at me with hurt and sad kind of look.
He leaned closer to me and smiled. He moved my hair away from my ear. "Were going to be spending all summer together Cupcake. That means I have all summer to change your mind and make you mine." Sam said to me. He pushed off away from the car and walked back into he house. I would believe his words if I didn't know the type of guy Sam was.
Sam never wanted to be with anyone. He pounced from one girl to the next. I knew there was something going on here. There was no way Sam really liked me. He was definitely trying to mess with me, and mess up my summer. Well if he wanted to play games then we could play games. As I watched him walk back into the house all I could think was, I wasn't going to fall for his fake charm.
So what do we think about this new story? I'm really liking it and hope you guys like it to. Leave me a review to let me know what you think!:)
