A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update.
He felt so confused, like someone punched him in the gut. Is he trying to be friends with her. Well, he shook his head out of his thoughts and made his way to Ms. Berry's class. There sat his cousin, Quinn. He placed himself on the seat next to her and saw to the left corner of his eye, was Mercedes Jones. She sat in the back row, next to Bowtie Anderson and Hummel.
Quinn, saw the starry look in her cousin's eyes. She would never use her powers for nothing, but she had to. She used her telepathy to track his thinking. In his mind was a training session with one Mercedes Jones. Another event was when he saw her cutting herself. Then she saw her in a beautiful scarlet dress that distracted him severely. Ms. Berry's lesson. It's a good thing she didn't notice. She kept searching through his thoughts and saw him dancing with her at The William McKinley Institution Prom.
'Well that proves he likes her' Quinn thought to herself, ending her research and focusing her attention back to the Jewish Woman.
"Now for this week's homework assignment, you will all choose one person who you will anonymously serenade to. Time's narrowing down to Christmas and this will be a gift for you from a special someone." She grinned, "Everyone has to sing to someone, and everyone will be sang too. But one person will be sang too twice."
Everyone lined up, Ms. Berry holding a clip-board, ready to check the names off the list one by one.
Sam walked up and whispered into her, "Mercedes Jones."
Mercedes strutted, "Finn Hudson."
Quinn tip-toed her way to Ms. Berry and silently said, "Blaine Anderson."
Kurt walked behind the blonde woman, "Blaine Anderson."
Blaine dapperly slid his foot behind his friends, "Kurt Hummel."
Everyone else seemed to be choosing random people or their significant other. Anyway, this assignment was a suprise. Everyone was getting ready to showcase their voices and make themselves known to the other one on the line.
Sam sat on the cell bench and thought. What song could he possibly say I don't want to hurt you and let me be the one to love you. Then using insight, he decided a mash-up would be best.
Mercedes was frightened. She didn't want to ruin her friendship with the gentle giant, but she couldn't help falling in love with him. So she had an idea, a bright one indeed.
The next day it was class and everyone was excited about who was going to sing to them. Sam really wanted Mercedes to sing to him, but it was a one in a million chance it would happen.
Ms. Berry called people one by one and the first one was Blaine.
Falling a thousand feet per second, you still take me by surprise
I just know we can't be over, I can see it in your eyes
Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
Making every kind of silence, it takes a lot to realize
It's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on
I won't fall, even if you said I wrong
I know that I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
When you're caught in a lie and you've got nothing to hide
When you've got nowhere to run and you've got nothing inside
It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me
You thought that you knew
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my, just myself
Just myself, myself, just myself
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying
Then it was Sam Evans. During his performance, he store straight at Mercedes and felt her being a tad bit uncomfortable. He began strumming his guitar and sang,
You're way too young to be broken.
You're way too young to fall apart.
You're way too young to play these games,
But you better start,
But you better start.
This is when it starts,
From the beating of your heart
Till the streetlamps talk to you.
Jumping off of at the edge,
Oversleeping your head,
Everything's turning dark to you.
I went to pick up the parts,
The doctor's hiding the charts,
He won't let me see this side of you.
It's on the tip of my tongue,
You know you're way too young
To have someone lie to you.
Give a little time to me or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
Give a little time to me, or burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My, my, my, my, oh give me love,
My my, my, my, oh give me love.
Give me love like her,
'cause lately I've been waking up alone,
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt,
Told you I'd let them go,
And that I'll fight my corner,
Maybe tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood turns into alcohol,
No, I just wanna hold ya.
Drink the poison lightly,
'Cause there are deeper than darker things than you.
I know 'cause I've been there too.
I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.
I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.
You'd better find somebody else and get a hold of yourself.
I'm not the one, I'm not the one who wants to hurt you.
There was then the one and only Quinn Fabray, who closed her eyes during her performance to read Blaine's thoughts. Luckily, she saw the positive remnants of his mind.
When the world gets too heavy
Put it on my back, I'll be your levee
You are taking me apart
Like bad glue on a get well card
It was always you falling for me
Now there's always time, calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
I'm a fly that's trapped in a web
But I'm thinking that my spider's dead
Lonely, lonely little life
I could kid myself in thinking that I'm fine
It was always you falling for me
Now there's always time, calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know
That I'm skin and bone
Just a king and a rusty throne, oh
The castle's under siege
But the sun outside says leave me alone
It was always you falling for me
Now there's always time, calling for me
I'm the light blinking at the end of the road
Blink back to let me know.
Kurt Hummel walked to the stool and took a deep breath, and started serenading his boyfriend.
Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed
You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know
'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian Summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test
He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth, oh!
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into
You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know!
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your, your eyes
Looking into your eyes, looking into your eyes
Oh, won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
Oh, no more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay.
As the boy left, the bronze diva stood there, hesitating. Mercedes Jones was nervous, but she had to let her feelings out.
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love
With you
Shall I stay would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love
With you
Like a river flows surely to the
Sea darling so it goes some things
Are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life
Too for I can't help falling in
Like a river flows surely to the
Sea darling so it goes some things
Are meant to be
Take my hand take my whole life
Too for I can't help falling in
Love with you
For I can't help falling in love
With you
For I can't help falling in love
With you
As the song ended, she was completely confident with her feelings. Mercedes walked to her seat, somewhat scared of the aftermath. She was having mixed feelings, and Mercedes wished Finn was oblivious enough to think the song wasn't about him. She was hopelessly falling down the tunnel of love, but everything happens for a reason. Maybe Finn isn't the one for her.
Sam watched her during her performance, subtly. Not like a perverted way or a stalker. He didn't want to blow his cover. He just wanted this mission to be over with and all those feelings for Mercedes would go away right.
