AU: I am so happy with all the positive feedback this story has been getting….with that said if you really enjoy it spread the word. Your reviews are like crack to me. Without further ado here's the story….

Mercedes POV

'I am so dead.' "Sam calm down...you don't know what this is about." I say calmly. He scoffs "Oh really? Because I'm pretty sure I just heard your ex-fiancee threaten my fucking family! What the hell is going on Mercy?!" He exclaims. Tears start welling in my eyes again and I can't help but think 'You have really stepped in it this time Mercedes.' "I have no clue as to what you're talking about Sam. Excuse me." I try to sidestep him but he's right there blocking my path."No fucking way are you walking away from me again." He leans down and looks into my eyes "What has you so scared Mercy? You know I will always protect you." I begin biting my lip ."You haven't seen the terrible things he's done already Sam. There's absolutely nothing that you or I can do. Except be his puppet. But you don't have to be... Sam he thinks you're still clueless .As long as you stay away from me he'll keep his end of the deal and stay away from you." I reach up to touch his face but stop myself before making contact. He grabs my hand before I retreat it all the way. "Mercy….please just talk to me. What deal? What is Shane doing to you? To us?" He stares in my eyes intently as if he can find the answers there. I close my eyes because the intensity of his stare is killing me. "Mercy?" I can hear the silent plea that registers in just that one word. I open my mouth to tell him everything but before I utter a word the door swings open. "Mercedes? What are you doing in here?" Quinn asks. I can see the expression on her face when she registers Sam's presence. Her face goes from worried to excited in an instant. "Ha! I knew that one of us was bound to end up having sex in here. Too bad you guys beat me & Noah to it…." She stops speaking when she noticed that Sam's eyes haven't left my face. "I'll just leave you two alone.." Quinn says as she turns to close the door. "Quinn wait! Sam & I are done talking. I'll come with you." I pull away from Sam and head toward the door. "Mercy please.." I turn to give one final look at Sam. " This is for the best. Goodbye Sammy." I walk out the door in front of Quinn .My heart breaking even more.

Sam POV

I run my hands through my hair thinking 'I don't have a fucking clue as to what Shane did to her but it can't be good. The sassy girl I fell in love with is nowhere to be found.' With that thought I leave the restroom. When I walk back into the main room of the club the lights have been dimmed more. Suddenly a light lights up the stage. "Hi my name is Mercedes Jones and I'm gonna sing a song for you….a song that really touches my heart. And I can't help but think of the love of my life every time I hear or sing it" The intro to our song begins playing.

"I love you….I love you….I love you
Baby I love you
You are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete
If you weren't by my side
You're my relation
In connection to the sun
With you next to me
There's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrop
I am the seed
With you and God, who's my sunlight
I bloom and grow so beautifully
Baby, I'm so proud
So proud to be your girl
You make the confusion
Go all away
From this cold and mixed up world

I am in love with you
You set me free
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me
Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you
I'll never leave
Just keep lovin' me
The way I love you loving me

And I know you love me
Love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am
Baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy
Easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication
From you to me
Later on in my destiny
I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife
And I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you
sometimes make me wanna cry
Realize all my blessings
I'm grateful
To have you by my side

Every time I see your face
My heart smiles
Every time it feels so good
It hurts sometimes
Created in this world
To love and to hold
To feel
To breathe
To love you

Dangerously in love
Can't do this thing
I love you , I love you, I love you
I'll never leave
Just keep on loving me
I'm in love with you
I can not do
I cannot do anything without you in my life
Holding me, kissing me, loving me
Dangerously
I love you
Dangerously in love"

By the end of the song I'm so entranced by Mercedes and busy trying to decode what that song meant, how she just told me goodbye then spent the entire song staring in my eyes. I didn't even notice that in the middle of this all Penny has snaked an arm around my waist. "That was a beautiful song baby wasn't it? It made me think of us ….Sammy." I look at her in annoyance."Don't call me that. Ever." I began to storm away when I stop and realize my frustration isn't with Penny. She's just an innocent party in all of this. I turn around and come back to her side. "I'm sorry Pen. I'm just on edge….Forgive me?" She nods and pulls me in for a kiss. As I'm kissing her I can't help but feel disgusted. It all feels wrong. Her tongue is too slippery, Her teeth keep scraping mine and she keeps biting my lip to the point that it's painful. I pull away and try my best to ignore her hurt expression. "I'll be right back." I go in search of Mercedes but I can't find her once again.

Mercedes POV

When I got up on stage all I could think about was his green eyes. Shane may own me but he could never own my heart that would always be Sam's. So I had to sing a song to let him know that no matter what I would always love him. And being as I already sang I will Always Love You I felt this was appropriate. When I began singing I forgot all about the drama with Shane and I only saw Sam. When the song was over I descended the stage prepared to walk to him and say "Fuck Shane." But then Penny kissed him and they began kissing passionately. So I ran away.

AU: I'm sorry to leave you guys at a cliff hanger but this is a long night as you can see…..Tune in & REVIEWWWWWWW
