Now I KNOW some of you have been waiting for this one FOREVER! I won't continue it until Asian Mystery is done but I can give you the proluge ;)
Prologue
The blonde boy was fidgeting like crazy as he sat in Finn's truck that he'd borrowed to get to the airport on time. He was so nervous because he knew he'd probably get himself killed doing this. Was it even worth it?
The blonde sighed. Of course it was. It had to do with the girl he loved and the boy that was one of his dearest friends. A boy that had been through so much and had been forced to live with lies before… he deserved the truth. The boy knew that his friend deserved the truth even though the girl they both loved didn't agree with that. She wanted to keep it from him for forever but the boy just couldn't do it.
His friend was the most truthful person the blonde had every met… if you didn't count the fact he lied about his identity and life to hide from murderers… but that's not the same thing! He told the blonde when the blonde's girlfriend was cheating on him. He never sweetened out truths when truths needed to be told. The blonde boy had to do the same now… right? He sighed and throw the door of the truck open and he walked towards the airport terminal.
When he got inside he looked around and soon spotted a dark red head that was not in a natural red color. He guessed that was his goal and ran over calling out a name. Calling out:
"Wes!"
"Hi Sam", Wes said and smiled at the blonde boy that came running up to him at the airport. "What are you doing here?"
"Wes I'm sorry but I can't let you leave without knowing the truth", Sam said and looked at his feet. "God I feel like such a jerk!"
"What's wrong", Wes asked worriedly and gazed into Sam's eyes. Sam looked back and realized Wes' eyes were dark red… like his hair.
"I can't stand this anymore", Sam said sounding desperate. "I can't stand being around you knowing that I am such a horrible friend!"
"What are you talking about", Wes asked confused.
"Mercedes cheated on you!"
"What? That's ridiculous man", Wes said and tried to walk around him.
"It's not", Sam said and grabbed his arm. "She did! I… I saw it!"
"Oh really", Wes said and narrowed his eyes angrily. "How come?"
"B… because she cheated on you with…" Sam didn't finish. He was thinking of backing out… or lying. No he couldn't do that. Wes deserved the truth.
"With", Wes asked.
"With… with…" Sam sighed heavily. "With me Wes."
Wes growled at that and pulled his arm free harshly.
"You lie", he spat.
"I don't! I'm sorry Wes", Sam looked as if he was about to cry. "The first time was a mistake we-"
"First time?!" Wes yelled furiously and pushed Sam back. "What do you mean with first time?!"
"S-someone spiked the bowl at that summer party we were at a few days after you left. They spiked it with alcohol and… and Viagra and… and we ended up having sex and-"
Sam was cut off when he met Wes' gaze. Wes' eyes were burning with a fury so intense Sam feared he'd catch fire if he looked into them for too long. But Sam knew he couldn't back down now he had to tell Wes everything.
"I don't lie", Sam said weakly. "I didn't want it at first… But then we just clicked and… and we hung out all the time. Only as friends at first but then… we… we had sex a lot of times and kissed and just… god Wes I love her."
Too late he realized that might be the wrong thing to say to Wes right now and he prepared to get pummeled by the short Asian. But Wes' face was impassive and unreadable.
"Thank you for telling me Evans", Wes said and turned around and headed for his flight. When he walked past the blonde he didn't even shove him or hit him with his shoulder… nothing. Sam wondered what the heck happened. Why didn't Wes hit him or try to kill him? He watched the older boy go and then saw him fish something out of his pocket and throw it into a trashcan. When Wes was gone Sam hurried up to it and took out what it was… a picture of Wes and Mercedes going to prom. Sam hurried after Wes but saw him walk past the flight attendant and board his plane. Sam sighed and walked out of the airport and met up with the boys and played video-games… half-heartedly.
Then… Wes disappeared from Facebook and from Skype, MSN and all other ways to chat over internet, he didn't answer phone-calls. He didn't even answer when Mercedes, Kurt, Brittany or his dads called. James and Howard had called Kurt telling them that they were worried about Wes because since he left two weeks ago he hadn't called, written or gotten in contact with them at all.
But then… in the middle of his third week of being MIA Wes suddenly answered when Mercedes called. He chatted happily with her and told her why he hadn't been in contact. One of his new friends in New York had broken up with his boyfriend because the jerk had been cheating on him and Wes had to save his friend from killing himself about six times.
He and some other people had been on what they called S-watch, suicide-watch, since that day and had barely gotten time to eat, sleep or go to the bathroom. They attended classes with Wes' friend but after each class it was a 24/7 watch going on. Finally they'd gotten the authorities to take them seriously and Wes' friend had been put in a home that would help him, so Wes could return all missed calls and talk to his very worried dads for over six hours. He told Mercedes he missed her the most and that he would look forward to hear what the new year at McKinley would bring them and he also hinted about a new student joining them.
Mercedes was relieved, as was everyone else. She had feared that Wes had found out the truth, but Sam hadn't told him right? And she hadn't told him, hell to the no she couldn't tell him. She'd rather die. She loved Wes, she really, really, really did. What happened with Sam was wonderful but… was it love? But then… Wes disappeared again. No phone calls. No Skype. No Facebook. No MSN. No texts. No e-mails. No letters. Nothing. Everyone was getting worried again and Mercedes was feeling the worst of all.
"It's strange ya'll", Artie said over the video conference they were holding. All boys were at Kurt and Finn's place while the girls were scattered all over Lima. No one had heard from Quinn in a few days and school would start that following Monday.
"I wonder where he is", Rachel said worriedly. "You don't think something's happened do you?"
"Was there a fourth guy chasing him", Puck asked.
"No", Mercedes said and shook her head. "I've talked to his dads and they say that there were three guys chasing them. One went down in Westerville and the other two died here in Lima."
"But then what's going on", Finn asked. "Has anyone talked to Sam? Maybe Wes has called him or the Warblers."
"I talked to Blaine and none of the Warblers has heard from him", Kurt said with a sigh. "They are searching for him too, contacting people at NYADA and such but no one there says that he is missing."
"Maybe he just has a shitload of work going on", Santana said trying to sound calm. "He'll show up sooner or later."
"Back to Sam", Finn said. Sam had moved from Lima and they hadn't talked to him in a while. "Does anyone know if he's heard something?"
"I called him", Mercedes said feeling guilt build up in her stomach. Wes had been missing for two weeks again and she'd run straight to Sam to get comfort and comfort-sex. Those who said that make-up-sex was the best had it all wrong, comfort-sex was so much better.
"Well what did he say", Tina asked. "Has he heard anything at all?"
Mercedes shook her head, Sam hadn't heard anything. No one had and it hurt to know that Wes didn't turn to anyone if he was in trouble. Mercedes was about to say something when her bedroom door opened behind her. She guessed it was her brother coming to tell her it was dinner or something.
"I gotta go guys", she said. "I'll talk to you as soon as I've heard anything." They all nodded but her gaze caught Kurt's face. For quite some time now Kurt had sent her glares of anger and disappointment. Mercedes didn't know why… maybe he knew or maybe he didn't. He was clearly upset about his best friend being missing. She'd be too, heck she was worried. She turned her chair around and nearly had a heart attack. In front of her stood a young man dressed completely in black, with heavenly blue eyes… and hair.
"Wes", she exclaimed and flew up. "What are you doing here?! When did you get here? Does your dads know you are here?! Where have you been?!" She made to hug him but he put a hand to her shoulder and pushed her back.
"We have to talk Mercedes", he said and she nodded and slowly sat down on her chair. Wes sat down on her bed. His eyes had none of the love or softness that he usually had when looking at her. Mercedes started to wonder if this was how the jocks felt when he gave them death glares or aimed his umbrella at them. She just had to check and sure enough… the blessed/cursed thing was lying across his lap.
"What do you um", Mercedes asked and ran a hand through her hair. "What do you wanna talk about love?"
"First of all", he said coldly. "Never call me 'love' again."
"What", Mercedes asked confused.
"I know what you did Mercedes", he said and she saw the anger and hurt on his face.
"What did I do", she asked, knowing fully well what she had done.
"Don't act all innocent with me", he spat. "I know that you cheated on me numerous of times with Sam Evans. Last time was just a few days ago."
"Who told you", she asked and looked at her lap. Wes got up and started to pace the room slowly.
"It should have been you", was all he said and she looked up at him.
"Was it my brother", she asked. "Or… did Sam… how… how long have you known?"
"Since I left to NYADA after the short break in my early summer classes."
"But… why didn't you-"
"I wanted you to come clean", Wes said and looked at her with an impassive look on his face. "But it's clear that you would never come clean to me. That's why I disappeared the first time, to try to make you come clean to me at my reappearance but you didn't. You went on as if nothing had happened so… I decided to give you another chance." He stopped pacing and turned to face her. "A last chance."
"You listened to all messages we left on your phone, didn't you", she asked. "You waited for me to confess of kissing and having sex with Sam."
"You were always smarter than you looked… usually."
"Wes I am so sorry", she said and reached out to take his hand but he pulled back. "Please forgive me."
"It's too late for that Jones", Wes spat, took his umbrella and went to the door. "It's over."
"No", she screamed and he turned to look at her. "No please Wes it can't be over! I LOVE you!"
"No you don't, not anymore", Wes scoffed and left her. She stared at the door and her knees gave out underneath her and she started to sob. She ignored her phone ringing over and over again. She knew why it was ringing. Wes' dads must've called Kurt telling him that Wes was back and Kurt would've spread it to the rest of the gleeks. She buried her face in her hands and then heard her front door slam shut. She ran up to her window and saw her boyfriend… ex-boyfriend walk down the drive angrily. She threw open her window and sang, the same song she'd sung when she let him down the last time:
Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Can you take me with you?
For my hand is cold
And needs warmth
Where are you going?
Wes looked up at her and she saw that his face held no regret or sorrow at all. His face was blank.
Far beyond where the horizon lies
Where the horizon lies
And the land sinks into mellow blueness
Oh please, take me with you
He turned to the road again and walked off without listening to her. Mercedes ran down and out on the sidewalk and sang to his retreating back:
Let me skip the road with you
I can dare myself
I can dare myself
I'll put a pebble in my shoe
And watch me walk
I can walk and walk!
And I shall call the pebble Dare
I shall call the pebble Dare
We will talk, together
About walking
Dare shall be carried
And when we both have had enough
I will take him from my shoe, singing:
"Meet your new road!"
Then I'll take your hand
Finally glad
Finally glad
That you are here
By my side
By my side
By my side
By my side
He stopped at the crossroads and turned to her one last time before turning left and disappearing from view. Mercedes hugged herself and sank down on her knees. The man she loved was gone… and autumn was coming. She knew everyone would hate her… blame her, shun her and side with Wes… and she couldn't have that. Wes had many friends but she had few… she needed them and to be able to have that… she would have to lie.
She hurried into her house and with tears streaming down her cheeks she called up all her friends telling them that Wes had just shown up acting as if nothing was wrong and made fun of her for worrying about him. She told them he'd changed and that he wasn't the boy she had once loved anymore and therefore she broke up with him and he didn't take that well at all. She told them she was now afraid of him and they all understood that and promised to protect her from the crazed Asian. No one deserved being treated like that.
That's all you get for now peoples ;)
