Chapter Three: Mercedes Heart Felt Song

"OMG! I was visiting my mom at work, and you'll never guess who I saw in their? Beat up like you would never believe!" Mercedes whispered to Kurt when she had arrived home. The situation had been so traumatic for her, that she had to tell someone. She wished that she had gone straight to his place instead of coming home there.

"I'll be there in a few minutes Cedes!" he said quickly, as she cried so hard, clutching Mister Scraggly Buttons to her chest.

She remembers the doctor's rushing past her, and blood being spat out from the teenage patient. He was so torn up, and bloody that he was unrecognizable. The only reason she knew who it had been, being wheel up for an emergency operation was because she had seen Wilbert Azimo, running along with them, soothingly hushing his brother with words that sounds so heart-warming and great.

She knew that he would do anything for his little brother, even though he wasn't the best of friends with him, or did anything to protect his brother. Instead he had internalized everything he had seen put against his brother, towards the many jobs that kept him really busy.

She felt horrible for Azimo now. She had never questioned the reason why he was such a bully, was because he was abused badly at home as well, and she now understood that it all stemmed from his abusive family life.


Flash Back

"Where is that no good for nothing son of mine?" she heard a man bellow from the hallways, as she sat frozen in place, waiting for her mother to re-appear.

"H-he is in emergency surgery sir" the young nurse stammered at him.

"You expect me to be paying for that? Hell no! I may have given him life, but his been a sore in my ass, since the day he was born! You best tell him when he wakes that there is no way I am paying for his stupidity, and he ain't got a home to go to!" and with that he stormed out of there, sending some people crashing towards the floor, and being pushed against walls.

Davit Azimo was one cruel bad man. If he could be so publicly threating like that, what more would he have done to Azimo growing up? She shivered in place at the thought.

End of Flash Back


She heard her bedroom door push open, to find Kurt standing there, holding out his arms towards her. She ran into them, and she cried so hard, she shudder. Kurt gently soothed her, humming a song that she didn't know, but sounded really soothing.

"Now tell me what has gotten you all shaken up Cedes?" he asked her gently, bringing her to sit on her three seater lounge by the window.

"It's… It's Azimo!" she sniffled a cry again, and brought Mister Scraggly Buttons to her chest again in comfort.

"Tell me what that Over Grown Oaf has down to you now?" he asked through his teeth. Getting reading to use the phone lines to access a mutual beating on the bully.

"He... his in hospital!" she cried into his arms, detailing everything that she had seen at the hospital.

"OMG, that's horrible!" Kurt put a hand to his mouth, shocked to hear about their mutual enemy.

"I knooww!" she wailed into his chest. Why was she taking this so hard? She wondered. She hated Azimo didn't she?


At school the next day, rumors of what had happened to Azimo flew around the school. Some people feeling remorse for the boy, and other's saying that he deserved everything he got. 'Pay back time'.

"No one deserves to be like that" she yelled at the comments being made as she stood at her locker. People just looked at the ex-cheerio and thought that she had 'lost it'. And she of all people should be throwing a party.

"I don't think you realised what you are all saying!" she seethed with anger. "Imagine he was someone you loved!" she yelled again.


"Mister Shuester, I would love to sing a song for Azimo"

"Sure Mercedes" he eyed her sadly, and sat with the other students.

"I'll be singing a Kelly Roland song, called Stole…"

He was always such a nice boy
The quiet one
With good intentions
He was down for his brother
Respectful to his mother
A good boy
But good don't get attention
One kid with a promise
The brightest kid in school
He's not a fool
Reading books about science and smart stuff
It's not enough, no
Cause smart don't make you cool, whoa

He's not invisible anymore
With his Father's 9 and a broken fuse
Since he walked through that classroom door
He's all over primetime news

Mary's got the same size hands
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints
And danced Chinese Theatre Show
She coulda been a movie star
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know

No no no no oh

They were crying to the camera
Said he never fitted in
He wasn't welcomed
He showed up the parties
We was hanging in
Some guys puttin' him down
Bullying him round round
Now I wish I woulda talked to him
Gave him the time of day
Not turn away
If I woulda been the one to maybe go this far
He might have stayed at home
Playing angry chords on his guitar

He's not invisible anymore
With his baggy pants and his legs in chains
Since he walked through that classroom door
Everybody knows his name

Mary's got the same size hands (Oh)
As Marilyn Monroe
She put her fingers in the imprints (Ooh)
And danced Chinese Theatre Show
She coulda been a movie star (She coulda been a movie star, oh)
Never got the chance to go that far
Her life was stole
Now we'll never know
(Now we'll never know, oh)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (20 feet away)
He had a tryout with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday (Saturday)
Now we're never gonna see him slam
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole)
Oh now we'll never know

Now we'll never never never know
Mmm now we'll never never never never know
Stole (Stole)
Oh whoa yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Mary's got the same size hands (Same size hands)
As Marilyn Monroe (Oh)
She put her fingers in the imprints
And danced Chinese Theatre Show (She was gonna be a star)
She coulda been a movie star (Oh no)
Never got the chance to go that far (Never got the chance)
Her life was stole (Stole, stole)
Oh now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know, no)

Greg was always getting net from 20 feet away (He had game, oh)
He had a tryout with the Sixers
Couldn't wait for Saturday
Now we're never gonna see him slam (Never see him)
Flying high as Kobe can
His life was stole (Stole, oh)
Oh now we'll never know
(Now we'll never never know)

Oh no no no
Yeah their lives were stole

She broken down crying after she had finished, bringing it home for everyone. Her singing had pulled in a crowd from the hallways, filling the room.

"Thank you everyone for listening…" she said through her tears. Everyone walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

"That was lovely Mercedes" Mister Figgins said to the young girl, who turned in surprised to see the principle also in the room. Apparently someone had turned on the speakers, and the whole school had stopped what they were doing and heard the entire song.

"Thank you Mister Figgins…" she smiled at the older man.

"Thank you Mercedes!" Mister Shuester pushed away the tears off his face.

"I would love Glee club to sing it at assembly" Mister Figgin's told the entire room. People nodded silently, now understanding the pain that she must have felt.
