So this is my first try at Glee Fan Fiction. I'm usually on the twilight fan fic portion but ever since the birth of SAMCEDES my imagination has been running wild. I don't have a beta for this story so i'm going to be very careful when editing this one. I hope you guys like it. I don't own glee or the characters but i wish i owned Chord Overstreet's trouty mouth. :) thank you for reading- Candace
Chapter one- A Fresh Start.
I, Mercedes Jones, am a thick girl. I'm just fine with that. I've come to terms with that. I've learned to embrace the fat that I will never be skinny. I'm totally cool with it! There are still a couple things I need to work on. The main thing is my self-esteem. I don't hate myself. I just want my confidence to be better. The other thing is a nice guy! I want someone to want me for all of me, curves and all.
I feel like I need a fresh start, so I'm moving from my childhood home in freezing cold Ohio to the very warm Houston, Texas. I'm going to be live with my longtime friends, Kurt and his partner Blaine. I have seen them in almost two years. They've recently started a music school and asked me to help out by doing private voice and piano lessons. I have always loved to sing and music is my passion. I met Kurt my sophomore year of high school in show choir. We both saw how much talent and style one another had; we were joined at the hip. That was until he left to go to another school after he couldn't bear being bullied for being gay. That's when Blaine came into the picture. It took a while for them to get together, but once they did; they never left each other's sides.
High school was a bit of a bust for me. I dated off and on but never found THE one. I ended up giving my virginity to a guy who was nice, but he never really made me feel good about myself or my body. He always had to comment about how nice a skinny girl's body was. After that, I vowed that I would never be with a guy unless they accepted me for all of me. So suffice to say, I'm a 24 year old born again virgin. I haven't been with a guy since I was 17. I was more focused on finishing college with my Bachelors in music education. So now, I'm ready for a change inside and out.
"So you're plane get here at 4pm, right?" Kurt asked during my call to him while I was on the way to the airport.
"Yes sir." I said, smiling from ear to ear.
"Oh Blaine and I are so excited to have you hear with us! It's seriously been too fucking long."
"Yeah tell me about it. I can't believe I'm going to be living in Houston."
"Mercy honey, you are going to love it down here. There are lots of fine men down here…..What? It's true." I heard him mutter to Blaine; who said something I couldn't hear. I had to laugh
"Oh I have no doubt about that, but I want to get adjusted first. Then I'll let you find me a husband." He deeply sighed.
"Yes, I suppose you're right." I shook my head as I laughed.
"Okay, well I just got to the airport. I'll text you when I'm about to board the plane. I love you guys!"
"We love you too Mercy! We can't wait to see you." I smiled as I hung up my phone. The cab driver pulled up to the airport entrance and even helped me with my bags. It was a bit odd that I'm doing this alone. Not having my family her to say goodbye kind of sucks. My family wasn't really too keen on my decision to move to Texas. I simply told them that getting out of this city was the only way I'd be happy. That was the end of that discussion. However, my mom was willing to ship some of my belongings after I got situated.
After a long flight, I finally landed in Houston, Texas. When I got off the plane, I just about ran to baggage claim. Kurt and Blaine planned on meeting me there, so I was itching with excitement. I was searching for them when I heard "Mercy!" yell out from behind me. I quickly turned around to see Kurt and Blaine's smiling faces. I squealed and quickly made my way over to them. They towered over me as they pulled me into a tight group hug.
"Oh my goodness! It's so good to see my boys." I said, unable to stop smiling.
"Same here babes." Blaine said as he and Kurt pulled away. Kurt took my hand and stood back a little bit. He gave me a bright smile.
"Have you been losing weight?" He would notice, that's why he's my best friend.
"Yes I have! I've lost about 30 pounds since the beginning of the year."
"Well congrats honey, but I don't want you getting skinny on me." Blaine sang.
"Oh never that." He laughed.
"Good, I like my curvy glass of chocolate milk." I snorted and playfully swatted his arm. We quickly got my bags and headed for the car.
"So, when your mom sending the rest of your stuff?" Kurt asked during the car ride to their house.
"I don't know. She kind of acted like she didn't want to send it; which is totally fine with me. It's basically all useless crap." Blaine looked back at me.
"Aww, sweetie I'm sorry you have to deal with that. It must have been really hard to leave her…hell your whole family for that matter."
"Yeah it was hard, but I think it's for the best. I need a fresh start." Kurt looked at me through the rear view mirror as he continued to drive.
"Exactly! Now that you're here, we can find you a decent man to make you happy! Ooh wait until you see our new guitar teacher, Sam. He starts on Monday too!" I smacked my lips and began to pout.
"Aww, Kurt! Can I get settled in before you try to boo me up with someone?" I saw him roll his eyes.
"Fine Mercy, but you have to see him. His lips are to die for." Blaine shot him a look…..uh oh.
"I knew you were all up in his mouth!" Kurt's hand reached out to Blaine and began to caress his face.
"Oh please! Baby, your mouth is the only one I want to be in." I felt the urge to throw up.
"Oh my God! I love you both to pieces, but that was way too much damn information." I said, trying to erase that comment from my mind.
For the remainder of the ride home, Kurt and Blaine filled me in on all of the fun places to go to in Houston. Their house was so cute! It had fit the both of them. When they showed me my room, I was a bit overwhelmed. They had designed it just for me. They knew that any type of purple was my favorite color so they blended black and plum together in my bedding and curtains. They even painted the walls plumb.
"You guys did this for me?" I said, trying not to get emotional. Kurt had come up to me and pulled me into a hug.
"Of course we did. We can't stress enough how happy we are to have you here with us. So consider this a welcome home present." I couldn't hold my emotions inside any longer. I hugged Kurt as tight as I could and cried. I felt Blaine wrap his arms around the both of us and held us both.
"Now why'd you have to cry? You know I'll cry if I see you crying." Kurt sniffed. I laughed through my tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy right now. I'm happy to be with my boys." Blaine placed a kiss on my forehead.
"And we wouldn't have it any other way. We love you Mercedes." I knew then that I had made the right decision.
