I'm sorry for the late update you guys, but it's no excuse. I lost my mojo, but I am back in full affect. I just started this chapter two weeks ago and literally just got finished revising it so it sounded good with no errors. Glee destroyed one of the best couples and I guess that's why I couldn't write anything for a long time. So here goes nothing. And plus this is the perfect week because of Samcedes lovefest. We will see. Enjoy my loves J


Sam POV

It's been at least 7 months since I've seen Mercedes last. I honestly dreaded the day we broke up even more so the day she left to go on tour. Thinking about it I was pretty nervous, hell scared even when I arrived home the night after my photo shoot. How was I supposed to tell the woman that I love dearly that I kissed another woman? Even though the kiss meant nothing I was still shaken up about it due to the fact I told Mercedes that I would wait as long as she needed and that I can live without sex but not her. The look on her face broke my heart.

Now all we do is text each other and occasionally send letters to one another. Every text and letter she sends me I cherish it. She even offered me tickets to one of her shows, but I couldn't make it because I had to recruit members for the football team. That was a bit disappointing, because I really wanted to see her. In reality I'm actually doing something that I enjoy doing besides drawing and doing impressions. Who would have guessed that I would be an assisting coach at my old high school? Doesn't pay much, but it's enough in my book as long as I'm making a difference.

I get my keys out of my pocket and walk inside my two bedroom apartment. It's not as spacious as the one in New York, but it's big enough for me plus its way cheaper. I step inside and shut my door tossing my keys to the side. One thing I learned about living with Mercedes and Blaine is that it always stayed clean no matter what. Well at the moment it needs a little cleaning, but I can't right now because I need to get to Mr. Schue's for our weekly dinner that started way back when some of the glee alumni got back in town. I walked further down the hall to my bedroom I walked in slipping my shirt off; easing out of my shoes pulling my socks off.

Undoing my belt I unzip my pants and pull them down; I walked out of my room to the bathroom across from my room. I turn the shower on waiting for it to warm up; slipping out of my boxers I step in feeling the heat scorch my skin, but surprisingly it felt good. My hands immediately went to my hair to push it back from falling in my face. The water trickled down my face as I began washing another day's work off my body. Then my mind starts to wonder about Mercedes. I haven't gotten a letter here recently nor did I receive a text from her. Maybe she's just busy I thought quickly washing myself up. After another 15 minutes I step out and dry myself off walking into my bedroom putting on some clothes. I look down at my phone to make sure I didn't have any texts or calls from Mercedes and I didn't. Leaving my apartment I get in my car heading over to Mr. Schues for dinner.

After about 30 minutes I pull up to Mr. Schues apartment hopping out walking up the steps to his place. Why did I attend this dinner? It has no affect towards me whatsoever other than it being about glee club; I pull out my phone and still no text from Mercedes. Hmm I thought? Maybe I should text her or maybe not. I'm seriously contemplating whether or not I should or shouldn't Just do it; ok I'm gonna do it. Wait! What do I say? Maybe I should say- Hey I haven't heard from you in a while I typed, but then I erased it. Or I could say I really miss you and I wish I could see you soon. I typed it, but was unsure to send it; I'm going delete it but too late I accidently sent it.

"Damn it." I said out loud looking at the message I sent to Mercedes. All of sudden it went quiet so I slowly raised my head to find everyone looking at me concerned.

"Sam is you alright there buddy?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah I'm fine I just uh.. my mom was supposed to send me something and said she forgot. Now I have to wait another week." Nice save blonde chameleon I thought.

"Okay well it was nice having you all here for dinner. I really do enjoy this." Mr. Schue said.

"Thanks for having us ; we looked forward to competing with you." Rachel said standing grabbing her coat. Kurt and Blaine also stood grabbing their jackets.

"Yeah Thanks Mr. Schue I will see you later." I said abruptly standing and bidding everyone a goodbye. Jogging to my car I get in racing to my apartment looking at my watch I see that it's a quarter to ten. What the hell was I thinking sending her that text? I pulled up to my destination rushing inside my apartment locking up. Maybe she thinks I've gone crazy really crazy. I checked my phone again and I still haven't gotten a reply. Sighing I walked into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and then headed straight to my room. I change into just my pajama pants and hopped into bed. As I dozed off my phone chimed indicating that I had a message I looked down at my phone it's from Mercedes.

Your wish has been granted ;).

-Mercedes

Wait what does that mean I thought as I laid my head back on the pillow.

Mercedes POV

Where do I even begin? This mall tour has been absolutely great and I couldn't have asked for a better crew. And I'm glad that I could share this experience with my trouble tones sisters. They have been amazingly supportive and patient with me. My career is great, but the only thing that is missing is Sam. He's the one that made all of this possible and if it wasn't for him I would have been still stuck in Lima. Luckily we have been communicating back and forth with each through letters and mainly text. He sent a letter first, so it was him that got me started writing letters. Honestly I thought it was kind of sweet and overly romantic for us just being friends. We even had the opportunity to see each other when I offered him tickets, but he said he couldn't make it because he was recruiting members for the football team. I was a little upset about it, but I totally understood. And wow I was in total awe when he said he was the assistant football coach. Never in a million years I thought he would do that; I totally pictured him as an actor or software game designer, but I guess not I'm still happy for him though. Now that this mall tour has come to an end I think I might have a little down time to go and see him. I am pretty sure he's wondering why I haven't returned his text and the reason is I have been really busy; with finishing out this tour, working my way back into the studio, and meeting with my vocal coach it's just too much. My Phone pulls me out of my thoughts and it's a text from Rachel; which is completely out of nowhere and so sudden. I opened her text anyway.

I've decided to revive the glee club. So it would mean a lot if you could join me and Kurt with recruiting members to join. I hope to see you here!

-Rachel-

"Wait what the hell!" I yelled jumping out of my chair.

"I see you got the text from the hobbit too." Santana said making me jump.

"Yeah, so this is for real." I asked turning to face Santana.

"As real as a heart attack." Santana said examining her nails. I sigh.

"I just thought broad way was her endgame." I said.

"More like sick obsession. As you can see teaching is her only hope at the moment she totally sank with that's so Rachel. I mean like literally the show sucked ass Wheezy." I glared at Santana. She puts her hands up in defense.

"First of all that name is so high school. Secondly the show wasn't that bad." Santana looks at me sarcastically. "Okay it was horrible, but she tried-

"And failed miserably." Britney said walking in sitting on my bed.

"See even Britney thought it sucked." Santana said.

"Well are we going or not?" I asked biting my lip. This can be an excuse to see Sam. I smile putting my head down thinking of Sam. Is he dating anyone? He never mentioned it at all; I tried dating, but it didn't last because no one can replace Sam. That man has-

"Mercedes. Hello are you there?" Santana yelled interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes sorry I blanked out." I said rubbing my eyes.

"Let me guess you were thinking about trouty mouth."

"No." I said a little too fast.

"Mhmm just like I was thinking I wasn't a full blown lesbian. Which I total am." She said looking Britney way to re assure her. "So sure whatever you say. Anyways I suppose we can help Berry and lady Hummel get members." San said rolling her eyes.

"I'm so excited to see everyone. Especially Lord Tubbington he's been calling me like crazy and I was just so busy that I couldn't answer." Brit said. Wow ok I thought.

"So we can leave tomorrow. I don't have to meet with my label until Friday and then that's it. Hopefully I can take a break for a little while."

"Considering we're in Illinois we can drive to lima and its only 5 hours. You and I can alternate. You drive for the first two hours and a half and then I drive the other half." Santana said yawning.

"Okay we can leave around noon." I said stretching popping my bones.

"Well Brit lets go get our lady kisses on." Britney giggles and grabs Santana hand and walks out the room closing the door behind them.

"Lady kisses I wish I was getting some man kisses." I said more out loud than to myself. I get in bed with a huff. Man I miss Sam like crazy; I miss the way he held me at night the security and safeness that I felt when he did that was unbelievable. Waking up to him was even more amazing watching him sleep was so beautiful to me. Alright Mercedes calm down you will see him Tuesday hopefully. Slowly but surely I drifted off to sleep.

"Mercedes wait I didn't mean it." Sam said. Wait what didn't he mean? I looked around and I was in a cabin all alone. What's going on I started walking around and I look outside and I see there's snow covering the ground; a very thick white sheet of snow covered the windowsill. I then walk into what looks like the living room and I see music sheets everywhere. Out the corner of my eye I see a white grand piano in the corner and something was drawing me to it. I sit down running my fingers along the keys suddenly I start playing a tune that I never heard before then my mind starts searching for lyrics to place with this tune.

I wanna run away from love.

"You have five seconds to get up or I will do something you won't like." I heard Santana say but I don't see her.

"Santana where are you?" I said standing up. Then all of sudden I begin to rock back and forth by a strong force that I couldn't see. My eyes open. I see Santana straddling me shaking me.

"Santana if you don't get your scrawny ass off of me right now." I said lightly pushing her off of me.

"Well I tried to wake you like a dozen times by yelling but obviously you couldn't hear me. You must have been having one of those wet dreams." She said getting off of me and getting up.

"What time is it?" I asked sitting up stretching my arms above my head.

"Well now its 12:00, so hurry up and get a move on it."

"Damn it okay give me 30 minutes." I said hopping out of bed and running straight into the bathroom.

"Alright niña. Brit and I are going to head down to lobby and wait for you." She yelled closing the door. I hurriedly showered and did my other hygiene routines; rushing into my room I placed on some sweats and a t-shirt and some shoes. Am I forgetting anything? I looked around and saw that I'm not; grabbing a bag I put my dirty clothes into it then grabbed my suitcase heading to the door. Shoot my purse I run back to the nightstand and grab my purse running out the door and onto the elevator. Checking my watch I see that it is almost one I guess that's okay. I see Britney and Santana waiting by the front desk. I hurried over towards them.

"Took you long enough." Santana said snappy.

"Yeah Yeah whatever. Here is our room key." I said placing our key on the counter.

"Well thank you Mrs. Jones for your stay. We hope to have you back. The clerk said.

"No problem have a nice day." I said smiling and rolling my suitcase out. We walked out of the hotel waiting for our car to arrive. As soon as it came we bee lined it out of there. I had no clue as to what they were talking about. All I could think about was Sam. What if he moved on and forgot about everything that we had like he did when he dated Britney? No he wouldn't do that because he would have to told me. Right? After another hour and a half of driving I stopped at the gas station. Filling the tank back up and grabbing a couple of snacks and drinks I get in the backseat this time to catch up on some sleep.

"Do not wake me until we arrive please and thank you." I pull my phone out to look at the time it's already 4:30. My eyes became too heavy and I started drifting off into a slumber.

3 ½ hours later

"Mercedes wake up!" Britney screamed patting my leg frantically.

"What the hell Brit?" I asked with an attitude.

"Well you said wake you up when we got here and so I did." She said unbuckling her seatbelt. I look out the window and looked at Britney's house.

"Why are we at your house?" I asked stepping out of the car.

"I was thinking we can stay here you know and save money and plus I was just so eager to see Lord Tubbington."

"Plus her parents aren't here which is a plus in my book." Santana said. I roll my eyes and grabbed my suitcase following them up to the door. We get settled in and decided to order some pizza.

After about two hours of San and Brit messing with each other on the couch I decided to head up and take a shower before bed. After an hour long needed shower I go to my assigned room and dug in my bag for a shirt. I put on one of Sam's old shirts and hop in bed. Still smells just like him; my phone was lighting up indicating I had a message. Picking it up I look at it and its from Sam I open his message.

I really miss you and I wish I could see you soon.

-Sam-

"Well then Mr. Evans." I said smiling typing my response.

Your wish has been granted ;). I replied falling asleep


Today is the day I finally get to see Sam for the first time in months. I wonder how it would feel being close to him again. This is so exciting, but I'm so nervous at the same time. I haven't even seen him yet and he already has me lost for words. I hear someone honking and I know its Santana. I look myself over once more and was satisfied with myself. Getting into the car I just knew that Santana was going to say something, but she didn't; which is shocking and a little bit scary. We rode in silence all the way to the school. The closer we got the more queasier I felt. You can do this Mercedes he's your friend remember. I take deep breaths as we pulled into the parking lot. Everything just went blank and I froze.

"Are you just going to sit there or are you going to get out of the car?" Santana said opening my door. I step out rolling my eyes at her.

"Wow Mercedes you look so great." Brit said linking her arm into mines and Santanas. We walk inside the school getting a few stares. Man it feels great to be back in my roots. I missed McKinely so much; I turn a deeper shade as I pass my locker on our way to the auditorium. Walking on stage made me feel good about myself because I have came a long way and accomplished so much. I carefully sit on top of the piano.

"How long are we suppose to sit here in the dark like idiots." Santana said hopping onto the piano next to me. I wish I could see her face.

"Sshh Kurt and Rachel will be in here any minute." I said shushing her. We hear them enter and they started talking for about 30 seconds and then a spotlight flashed on us and we struck a pose. Then out of the corner of my eye I see Quinn, Puck, and Artie being wheeled in by Sam. He was just surprised as I was and he looked amazing as always. Sam smiled looking right at me and came straight towards me and hugged me. I admit my breath hitched because he smelled so good.

"Damn it guys I told you to wait until I parked the car." Tina said and I felt so bad and made a pouty.

"TINA TINA TINA TINA!" We chanted and she walked in on the group hug. I tap Sam shoulder and we turned away from the group. My lips formed a big smile as I looked at him with admiration.

"Are you still a virgin." He said giving me major side-eye. And to think I thought he was going to say something sweet. Typical Sam I thought. I rub his back not wanting to answer that.

"Sam." I said turning back around to the group. Man its great to have everyone back well almost everyone Mike isn't here. After catching up with everyone and singing take on me. We've decided to call it a day. I was about to follow everyone else out but Sam cleared his throat behind me. I didn't even know he was behind me.

"Mercedes we will meet you- " Santana trailed off and hurried out the room with Britney in tow. Damn it Santana. I turn around and see him with his arms crossed and a quizzical look on his face.

"So what's up and why are you looking at me like that? I asked taking a seat watching him follow.

"Oh nothing so I guess this is what you meant by your wish has been granted." He said smiling sitting next to me. I nod my head.

"Yes it is." I said turning slightly away because his arms were distracting me. We sat there in silence; no one making a sound at all. Until I hear the chair scrape as he gets up and pulls me up with him. He embraces me cradling his head in the crook of my neck.

"I've missed you so much." Sam said. Those simple words caused me to place my hands around his shoulders. He has no idea how bad I've missed him.

"I missed you too." I whispered sadly smiling into his shoulder. He pulls back slowly completely letting go of me.

"I'm sorry-

"No it's fine Sam really." I cut him off saying. He smiles giving me that lopsided grin that I love so much.

"So how long are you in town?

"I'm here for a few days and then its back to handling business."

"So do you have time to spare with little ole me? Or is the Miss Mercedes Jones too busy?" I softly giggled.

"We shall see Mr. Evans." I walked out the classroom and straight out to Santana and Britney.

"Well-

"Shut it and go." I said sitting in the front seat looking out the window with a huge grin on my face.
