Sealed Lips
Chapter two: Mirror, Mirror on the wall…
Sitting on her bed Mercedes slammed her book shut there was no point of pretending to study when she couldn't even concentrate. She couldn't stop thinking about what had happened earlier at the mall, Kurt's words and the stinging words from the girls at the food court. But it wasn't just that, it wasn't just two measly incidents.
It was every time she went to the mall when she asked for a larger size; it was the comments from sale's assistance about "checking out the great plus size store upstairs". It was the looks she got in the changing rooms at school. What was it they always said ….
She has such a great personality.
Well maybe she was sick of always being the personality and now she wanted to be the body, the cute girl, beautiful even.
Standing up she went and locked her room door, standing in front of her full length mirror which was propped against the wall she slowly took off her T-shirt and sweats. Mercedes took a step back and analyzed herself from all angles. She was fat. Her hands pinched her cheeks too full, they slid down to hold her upper arms too wide. Her hands moved across her stomach grabbing the extra fat there, disgusting. The word entered her mind before she had a chance to stop it. She slapped at her thighs too big ,too much ,too fat. Tears unknowingly spilled from her eyes.
This would have to change. She hadn't noticed how fat she had gotten.
"Mercedes, dinner" her mom knocked the door.
Jumping up Mercedes rushed to get dressed "Mom" her voice cracked "I ate out with Kurt when we went shopping"
"Well open the door let me see you" Mercedes mom demanded
Wiping her face free from tears, she took a breath, exhaled and opened the door.
Her mother gave her a once over "when did you take to locking your door?"
"I didn't even realize" she lied "I was doing a reading assignment"
"Okay" her mother replied craning her neck to see into the room, once satisfied she walked away. Closing the door but leaving it unlocked this time Mercedes sat down on her bed and put away her books, she just wanted to sleep.
Just as she had settled under the covers her phone rang, the ringtone brought a familiar smile to her face.
"Sam" she whispered into the phone.
"Hey sexy lady" Sam replied "I thought you said you'd call"
"Oh damn, sorry I forgot" Mercedes apologized.
"That's okay, I don't mind when people forgot about me" Sam said
"Sa-am" she whined "you know it's not like that I was out all day with Kurt and I just got caught up"
"Good thing he has a boyfriend or I'd be worried" Sam replied
"Haha" Mercedes deadpanned "forgive me?"
"How about you make it up to me" Sam said "What are you wearing right now?"
"Good night Sam" Mercedes said, she waited a beat for him to say goodnight before hanging up. He was so cute.
They had started dating at the end of the last school year and had spent the entire summer just being together, it made her giddy just thinking about it. Sam Evans choose her, not Quinn or Santana but her Mercedes Jones, that had to mean something right.
But they were still dating in secret it had been Sam's idea something about how it was better for their relationship, she didn't really get it.
He doesn't want to date the fat girl publicly.
Stop it, she mentally reprimanded herself. Sam was one of the good guys, he wouldn't do that but still they had already been dating for 3 months why hadn't they gone public yet.
Because no one would ever believe that football jock, start quarterback, washboard abs would ever date frumpy, fat wanna be diva Mercedes.
I am not doing Mercedes told herself, turning over she punched the pillow and willed her thoughts to stop.
