Okay for CENAORTONFAN69 Puck doesn't like Mercedes, he just wants to me her friend. The whole battle for her love is between Sam and (wanna be Sam) lol Hopefully you guys like it, and i should have made it clearer so there wouldn't have been misunderstandings. OH! and for the house reference that Mercedes was talking about, you will learn about that, in the next chapters to come. So i'm going to shut up and let you read :)


It was tall, it's hair looked blond.

"It can't be." She thought.

She opened her eyes as she found herself leaning against the tree. It all had been a dream, a vivid dream. She actually thought Sam had been in Lima.

"That would never happen." She laughed softly to herself and started walking towards home again.

Once she arrived she saw Rachel and Blaine were still sleeping, she saw Kurt who was extending Blaine's legs on the couch so he could rest better. Kurt saw Mercedes entering with a smile on her face.

"I'm seeing it worked?" Mercedes took a deep breath and went to place a blanket on top of Rachel.

"It's going to take some effort, and I'm willing to try." Kurt gave her a small smile; a smile Mercedes thought was hiding something.

"Are you okay? Is something wrong?" Kurt nodded in disapproval immediately after her question. Mercedes pointed her fingers towards the kitchen and Kurt immediately followed. He knew he had to make something up and fast. He couldn't find it in his heart to tell her Sam's arrival.

"Okay white boy, you better start talking. What is wrong? You know you can't lie to me." Kurt inhaled sharply and looked over to see Blaine who was already awake, and mouthing the words "tell her." Kurt quickly turned to Mercedes grabbed her shoulders.

"Blaine and I had a fight." He quickly turned to Blaine who fell back onto the couch annoyed Kurt didn't tell her. He dropped his hands form her shoulders as Mercedes grabbed his cheeks and stroked it gently.

"I'm sorry honey, from what I saw back there, you guys seemed happy, it was kind of disgusting." Kurt gasped and pushed her playfully.

"Cute disgusting." Kurt laughed.

"Are you okay?" He nodded and rubbed his eyes and then yawned.

"You should get some rest. You looked dead." Kurt started walking towards Blaine who was pretending to be asleep and laid next to him. Mercedes left by going upstairs to get some rest as well. Blaine kept an eye on Mercedes entered her room and shut the door.

Blaine automatically pushed Kurt off the couch causing Kurt to scream, which woke up Rachel.

"Is Barbra dead?" Rachel checked all around the room and saw Kurt on the floor with a surprised look on his face, as Blaine sat up on the couch grabbing a pillow and throwing it at Kurt.

"Babe!" Kurt protected his face with his hands as he dodge Blaine's pillow attack. Rachel fixed her hair and sat up as well on the other side of the couch.

"I'm guessing Kurt didn't tell Mercedes?" Blaine turned to Rachel and nodded. Kurt stood up from the floor and sat next to Rachel instead of his boyfriend.

"All I'm doing is protecting my best friend." Blaine grabbed the pillow off the floor and placed on his face muffling his scream.

"Kurt, she is my best friend too, but Blaine and I still believe that we should tell her. What if tomorrow, while she is getting congratulations from us, she sees him? What explanation are we going to give her? She'll be distraught that we didn't tell her. I say rip the bandage off." Blaine removed the pillow from his face and gave his opinion.

"Rachel, as much fun as that sounds, Mercedes wounds are still visible." Kurt turned to Blaine and his eyes widened.

"You were eavesdropping?"

"I didn't mean to, I agree that we should tell her that Sam is back in town, but we have to find a way of breaking the news to her without her heart breaking again." Kurt scoffed and covered his face with his hands.

"Doesn't matter what we do, she still will end up hurt. I just want to take her out of his town that has too many memories. Once free of her feelings, she will be able to live again. She can't do that here in Lima." Blaine and Rachel nodded in approval to Kurt's argument.


The next morning all that Mercedes was thinking of was the biggest day of her life had finally arrived. Graduation Day. She was finally graduating, and it was a day she never thought would come. Mercedes stayed staring at the ceiling until she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." Mercedes rose from her bed and got out of it. She made her way to the bathroom, as Kurt and Rachel came in with a bag.

"We bring gifts." They both said at the same time, Mercedes turned to see them all giddy before entering to the bathroom. She laughed and received the gift her best friends brought for her.

"What is this?" Kurt and Rachel remained silent and they couldn't stop giggling. Mercedes rolled her eyes and checked to what the bag had inside. She gasped once she saw it. She slowly pulled it out, dropping the bag. It was a fuchsia strapless dress. But she automatically remembered the design and the color.

"Is this…my prom dress?" They both looked at her giggling.

"Kurt and I made it short and added more design to it. Do you like it?" Mercedes stayed staring at she started remembering the memories that came along with it. YoutoldmeIlookedbeautiful.She thought. Kurt and Rachel started getting anxious, they didn't know if she liked it or hated it.

"You hate it don't you?" Mercedes snapped out the memory and smiled at both of them

"No, I love it. This is amazing, I never thought you guys design dresses." Rachel laughed and punched Kurt playfully on the shoulder.

"Kurt started teaching me, and now I design my own clothes." Kurt rolled his eyes as Rachel was showing Mercedes her latest design. Mercedes laughed and grabbed the bag off the floor and placed the dress back in.

"Are you going to get ready?" Kurt asked as Mercedes stayed staring at the dress before completely placing it in the bag. Kurt snatched the bag away from Mercedes, which caught her off guard.

"Are you going to be okay wearing this? I can't believe I listen to one of your ideas Rachel, you know-"

"Kurt! I'm going to be fine. Calm down." Kurt looked embarrassed, as Rachel was still shock at Kurt's outburst blaming her for the dress, when it was his idea to begin with.

Mercedes left them and entered the bathroom closing the door behind her. She opened the shower faucet, and took off her clothes. Once the water hit her body she closed her eyes and started singing.

I can be tough

I can be strong

But with you, it's not like that at all

She placed her head down as she felt the water fall down her neck.

There's a girl

who gives a shit

behind this wall

You've just walked through it

She laughed softly and raised her head turning her back against the faucet.

And I remember all those crazy things you said

You left them running through my head

You're always there, you're everywhere

But right now I wish you were here.

All those crazy things we did

Didn't think about it, just went with it

You're always there, you're everywhere

But right now I wish you were here

She started sobbing and covered her face.

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I'd do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I'd do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here.

She grabbed her head and started crying louder, gasping for air at the same time.

I love the way you are

It's who I am, don't have to try hard

We always say, say like it is

And the truth is that I really miss

She leaned on the wall while the water never stopped running through her.

All those crazy things you said

You left them running through my head

You're always there, you're everywhere

But right now I wish you were here.

All those crazy things we did

Didn't think about it, just went with it

You're always there, you're everywhere

But right now I wish you were here

She placed her face against the wall and lightly hit the wall.

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I'd do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here.

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I'd do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here.

She slowly started kneeling down and she automatically curled into a ball on the bathtub floor.

[Bridge:]

No, I don't wanna let go

I just wanna let you know

That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go)

No, I don't wanna let go

I just wanna let you know

That I never wanna let go

(let go let go let go let go let go let go let go)

She stood up from the bathtub floor. She took a deep breath.

Damn, Damn, Damn,

What I'd do to have you

here, here, here

I wish you were here (I wish you were)

Damn, Damn, Damn

What I'd do to have you

near, near, near

I wish you were here.

She turned off the shower faucet and stayed sobbing the very last tears she was ever going to shed for Sam. (For so she believed.)

"I will never forget you Sam Evans." She wiped the tears of her face and grabbed a towel she had placed the night before on the sink counter. She wrapped her body around the towel and walked out to find Kurt and Rachel ready to give Mercedes a makeover for her graduation. She laughed and went to get transformed K and R style.


"Are you scared man?" Puck turned to see Sam standing on the doorway of him room smirking when he saw Puck hands started shaking as he tried putting a tie on. Puck coughed and nodded in disapproval.

"Okay man, of course I am." Sam laughed softly and sat on his bed laughing at how Puck couldn't stop shaking. Puck threw a pillow at Sam, which made him laugh harder.

"Don't tell me you didn't feel this way when you graduated?" Sam exhaled sharply and remained quiet.

"That's what I thought Trouty." Sam got annoyed that his nick named hadn't been forgotten and threw the pillow back at Puck.

"Noah! It's time!" Puck rolled his eyes at his mother's yell.

"Coming ma!" Sam smirked when her heard his mother called him his real name. Sam got up from Puck's bed and they both headed out the door.

Next Destination: McKinley High School Graduation 2013


"Artie Abrams." His parents started screaming when they heard his name.

"Tina Cohen-Chang." Mike hollered when he heard his girlfriend's name.

"How do you feel coming back man?" Sam was sitting on the benches along with the parents and former students. Mike, Quinn, Finn, Kurt and Rachel were sitting with him.

Sam was staring out onto the soon to be graduates to see if maybe, just maybe he could see Mercedes.

"Sam?" Mike caught his attention and turned quickly turned to him.

"Uh, it's been great. I'm staying with Puck for a while." Mike looked confused at his former best friend.

"I came only for the graduation, after this I'm going to head on back to Tennessee." Mike nodded and then gave him a smirk.

"Are you sure that this was all you came for?" Sam was waiting for Mike to ask one of his creepy but truthful questions. Sam was about to answer when he heard her name, the name of the girl who not only broke his heart, but also was still the owner of it, no matter how he tried to deny it.

"Mercedes Marie Jones." Sam turned his eyes to the stage and saw her. She was wearing a fuchsia strapless dress, and she had her hair as straight as ever. He immediately recognized the dress's color.

"She is wearing her prom dress. She looks more beautiful than I remembered." He whispered as Mike and Quinn looked at each other, both shocked that for someone who broke Mercedes heart, he still talked about her as if they were still a couple.

She looks beautiful. Sam kept repeating that over and over in his head. Sam started tearing up when he saw the way she was smiling. That beautiful smile. He thought.

After a while of names being called out the soon to be graduates turned their tassels and were officially the graduating class of 2013.

Sam was the first person who walked off the benches in order to go look for Mercedes. Kurt and Rachel kept staring at each other with worry. Sam had to make way through many graduates until standing face to face with Mercedes. He saw she was hugging Puck, Artie, Brittany, and Santana but she didn't see him. Then he saw something he never thought to see.

As soon as he was about to yell her name, a big tall black boy grabbed her kissing her in the process. Sam felt his heart shatter more into pieces; he never thought he could feel this kind of pain.

She has a boyfriend. He felt a tear fall from his face.

Puck saw Sam witnessing Mercedes lips on Shane. He quickly ran to him, trying to block him from seeing anymore. Artie, followed behind him as Brittany and Santana left.

"Hey man, let's get out of here." Puck grabbed Sam's shoulder as he could see he was heartbroken. Sam didn't move, he just kept staring at Mercedes, as now she was talking to her boyfriend. He hated thinking the word, he didn't dare to say it, it would make him feel worse.

"Who's that with Mercedes?" Artie looked back as Merceds was walking away with him.

"That's Shane Tinsley, football player." Sam nodded his head in disapproval, pissed out of his mind.

She was well accompanied for the last year? Why I was suffering over her? He thought He was pissed and heartbroken at the same time. Mike and Finn joined Sam, Puck and Arite.

"Fine man, let's go celebrate. Let's go get wasted!" Puck was surprised by Sam's outburst. Mike looked concerned and so did Artie. Finn didn't even know saw arrived and was sitting with them in the bleachers. (Goes to show you how clueless Finn still is).

"I thought you weren't going to drink anymore?" Sam scoffed and punched Puck playfully on his shoulder.

"One night isn't going to hurt anyone." Puck sighed, as there was no way he couldn't convince him Sam it wasn't a good idea.

"Fine." They all went to celebrate after saying goodbye to the girls, Sam being the only one who hadn't greeted Mercedes.

Sam was determined to drink to take out this pain he felt inside. Pain, he didn't know Mercedes could cause him.

She has a boyfriend. Sam thought as he got in Puck's car and drove to a nearby bar.


OF COURSE! SHANE! He had to ruin everything. I bet mariposafria is going to be mad at me! SORRY! Hope you guys like Mercedes' singing in the shower song. It was "Wish You Were Here" by Avril Lavigne. I'm in love with that song! So the next chapter will be up today also. Please Review :)
