I look out into the crowd and saw all of my friends in the audience. I smile as they waved at me, but my smile quickly fades when I didn't see him in the audience cheering me on with the rest of my friends. I can't believe he didn't come.
Say something I'm giving up on you,
I'll be the one if you want me too,
Anywhere I would have followed you,
Say something I'm giving up on you,
Kurt notices my change in expression and frowns. I walk off stage towards my friends they all hugged me.
"Mercedes you were phenomenal." Blaine said hugging me again.
"Yeah you were amazing Cedes." Santana said.
"We are so going out to celebrate." Rachel said.
"Woo-hoo Lord Tubbington said he couldn't make it, because of the facts of life rerun." Brittany said and I couldn't help, but laugh.
"Thank you, guys. Just go on without me I don't feel like celebrating." I said giving a brief smile.
"Aw. Why not?" Artie asked. Before I could answer Kurt spoke up.
"Mercedes can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked pulling me to the corner without me answering.
"What do you have to say Kurt?" I already knew what he was going to say.
And I am feeling so small,
It was over my head,
I know nothing at all,
"I'm sure he had a valid reason Mercedes." I roll my eyes. Leave it to Kurt to defend Sam.
"Kurt there's always-
"Baby I am so sorry I'm late." I turn around and see his green eyes pleading for forgiveness.
"What's the excuse this time."
"I will leave you two alone." Kurt said letting go of my arm.
"I have no excuse-
"Right!" I walk away and almost reach the door. Until I felt his hand on my arm. I turn around and look down.
"I'm sorry. I really am please don't be mad at me. I promise I will make it up to you." I look him in the eye and smile because he had a pouty mouth.
"This is your last chance." I said standing on my tippy toes and giving him a longing kiss. He pulls away and look down at me.
"You stuck with me forever, believe that." He chuckles and kisses me again.
"Let's go home and celebrate on our own. I grabbed his hand and high-tailed out of there. The whole night we celebrated and watch movies and cuddled.
A month later
And I will stumble and fall,
I'm still learning to love,
Just started to crawl,
Some things must come to an end some times. Today is my birthday and I'm waiting for him to say something, anything, but no he continues getting ready. Kurt texts my phone and tells me he's on his way over. He leaves without even saying anything. I literally shake my head biting down onto my lip. There is only so much I can take.
Say something I'm giving up on you,
As soon as he left I went downstairs into the kitchen. I stop once I hear the house phone ringing its Sam.
"Hey baby I'm meeting with the comic publisher tonight so I might be late coming home."
"Are you serious Sam?" I asked walking into the living room.
"Yea I-" I can't believe this.
"Did you forget?"
"Forget what?"
"Wow you are an ass you know that."
"Woah Mercy what is wrong with you." I look at the mantle where there was a picture of me and Sam at the lake the summer we spent together before he left.
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? It seems to me everyone knew about my-." I stop because he should have known.
"Mercedes I am so sorry-
"Sam I can't do this anymore. I'm tired of coming second to everything you do." I begin to tear up.
"Mercedes no-
"Goodbye Sam." I let the tears fall from eyes. He did it again. This whole relationship I fought by myself. I walked out the living room throwing my phone into the hallway mirror shattering it into pieces. Tears were stinging in my eyes as I ran upstairs knocking every picture frame down off the wall. I heard someone unlocking the door it's probably Kurt.
"Mercedes what's-" he gasped. "Oh my goodness Mercedes where are you?" I pull my suitcases from under the bed. He enters into the room looking at me like I was a mad woman.
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you,
Anywhere I would've followed you,
"Boo your scaring me what's going on?" I ignore him and open the closet door and start pulling my clothes off the hanger. I couldn't fit everything into my suitcases. I tap my chin thinking of what else I need to grab. I go to my drawer and pull out my undergarments. As I was walking back to the suitcase I hit my knee on the bed chest at the bottom of the bed.
Say something I'm giving up on you,
I rub my knee and pick up the stuff I dropped.
"MERCEDES STOP!" Kurt yelled grabbing my arm.
"Why?" I said snatching my arm away.
"Where are you going? Why are you leaving?"
And I will swallow my pride,
You the one that I love,
"I'm leaving." I said closing my suitcase.
"What did Sam do for you to destroy the house? Why leave when you and Sam came so far?"
"Kurt I've been putting up with this shit for too long. We've been together for eleven years. And these last two years has been hell. I've been trying to not make it a big deal, but how can it not be. I know how much his career means to him and now he's wants to do so much more. How can I fit into that? How long do I have to feel alone?" I wipe the falling tears from my eyes.
And I'm saying goodbye,
Say something I'm giving up on you,
"You are not alone. Sam and you have each other
"Sam use to be there now he's not. I'm alone." I said picking up my suitcases and taking them down and putting them in the car. Kurt follows me and stops me from getting into the car.
"Mercedes he loves you. You know that, everyone knows that. He just wants you to have a good life. That's all he's working-
"No Kurt, no more making excuses for him I'm done I'm ending this right now.
"I'm not making excuses for him. At least come to my place and stay please." I thought about it and I knew Sam would come there and force me back.
"He knows I will be there. I'm going to go stay with my mom." He looks hesitant, but nods.
"Okay call me when you land ok." He looks at me and give me a watery smile. I grabbed him and pulled him tight against me. In my heart I knew it was wrong to lie, but I can't trust anyone to know where I'm really going.
"I love you Kurt."
"I love you too." I let him go and get in my car. I pull out the driveway and drive an hour outside of California. My phone rings and its Sam I ignore it.
Sam POV
Baby please answer. I left the office to come straight to Mercedes. I know I haven't been paying attention to her and supporting her like I should have been. I just wanted her to have a good life and not have to worry for nothing. I p ull into the driveway and see that Kurt was here and I get out the car immediately running into the house looking around and I see glass on the floor and I run up the steps. "MERCEDES." I yell out. I look in our room and see Kurt cleaning up.
"Where is she?"
"She's gone Sam." My eyes begin to water and I scratched the back of my neck.
And I'm sorry I couldn't get to you,
"Where did she go?"
"I don't know."
"Just tell me Kurt, so I can fix this and bring her back home."
Anywhere I would have followed you,
"There is no fixing this Sam. She's done and you're just going have to accept it." I shake my head no. I see Kurt phone on the bed and I snatched it and ran to the bathroom locking it. I see her number and pressed talk. She picks up on the third ring.
"Kurt I haven't gotten on the plane yet
"Mercedes please come home." I hear her breath hitch.
"Sam what do you want." She choke out.
"I want you to come back please I'm begging you." Tears started falling from my eyes.
"Sam I told I can't do this anymore. The late nights and empty bed.
"I'm doing this for us-
"Tell me you will walk away from your job to work on us." I must have been quiet for a while because I hear sniffing.
Say something I'm giving up on you,
Say something I'm giving up on you,
"Thought so. I love you, but I don't have enough love for the both of us. You just made your decision."
"Baby-
She hangs up the phone. I unlock the door and walk emotionless to Kurt and gave him his phone. He looks at me.
"Sam what happened."
"It's over." I dropped to my knees and sobbed loudly. Kurt kneeled beside me and I clutched.
"She's gone I whispered.
Say something.
