Okay! I seriously hope you guys wont kill me! But i least i am leaving you with good news (sort of). For some who hate Wannabe Sam, you will love this, but also make you him hate him even more, which is perfectly fine with me :) So It here it goes.
"Congratulations Class of 2013!" Principal Figgins screamed over the microphone.
Mercedes was the first one to stand up as she threw her cap in the air, then everyone followed. Soon enough Santana and Brittany greeted her.
"Chica can you believe we are done with high school?" Mercedes laughed, as Brittany couldn't stop jumping up and down.
"Yes! No more drama, slushies' or Coach Sylvester." Santana laughed when she mention Coach Sylvester. Then Puck out of nowhere gave Mercedes a kiss on her cheek, which caught her off guard.
"Sexy mama! We are done!" Mercedes giggled as Puck raised Brittany in the air. Santana gave Artie a hug and also a kiss on the cheek. Then before Mercedes could hug Artie she felt someone's arms on her waist.
Then without notice she was pulled close into Shane lips. It caught her extremely off guard, she couldn't move because she still was trying to process the fact that her ex-boyfriend was kissing her.
He finally managed to pull away, Mercedes' eyes felt like they were going to pop out, Shane couldn't help but laugh, as he tried kissing her again, this time Mercedes stopped him.
"Shane! What the hell are you doing?" Shane looked confused, but more hurt really.
"Look, Mercedes babe. I want to get back together; I acted like a jerk when you told me you didn't want to come with me to Florida. I shouldn't have broken up with you." Mercedes wiped his taste off her mouth discretely.
"You just don't go kissing your exes and expect them to get back together with you." Shane scoffed, as he didn't seem convincing.
"You didn't pull away from the kiss?" Mercedes knew she couldn't have this conversation where anyone could see her explode.
"Let's talk about this in private shall we?" Shane nodded and grabbed her hand, as she snatched it away from his grip. They reached a little tree isolated from rest of the chaos of graduates and balloons.
"Look, Shane I don't want to get back together." Mercedes was surprised that she didn't think twice about saying it nicely in order not to hurt his feelings but, she just didn't care anymore, well at least for Shane.
"Why? I thought you loved me?" Mercedes quickly gave him her "what the hell" look she gave Brittany when she was singing "My Cup", her sophomore year. She also remembered whom she was sitting next to. No Mercedes, stop thinking about Sam.
"Shane, I don't know what made you think I loved you. You even told me I didn't, when I refused to go with you to Florida. So stop making up shit for me to get back together with you. And I'm sorry I'm acting like this, there is no other way I can say this without you getting hurt." Shane nodded and laughed softly as Mercedes wanted to know why he laughed for no reason.
"What's so funny?" Shane remembered he still had Sam's letters, and how she was never going to find out about them.
"Nothing, just funny, I actually thought of giving you something, that meant and still probably mean a lot to you." Shane was thinking of giving her the letters Sam wrote, but he thought twice, and decided not to.
"What are you talking about?" Mercedes thought the guys was crazy.
"Nothing, listen take care all right? Have a nice life." He left her grinning evilly. And for that she will never know. Mercedes thought he was definitely crazy and Quinn, Kurt and Rachel soon greeted her.
"Diva!" Mercedes missed Quinn's warm embrace.
"Quinn! Girl how I missed you! How are you?" Quinn giggled as Mercedes stroked her cheek.
"I'm fine, I'm the works of opening a flower shop. So hopefully the economy won't screw me. " Mercedes laughed as she hugged her again.
"Well come on, we still need to set up for your good-bye party." Kurt said as Mercedes started to feel all giddy; she was going to leave to New York, to pursue her dreams along with her best friends. As soon as Mercedes said goodbye to her parents who were too busy talking to the other parents, she went with Quinn, Kurt and Rachel to her house to get ready for a big step in her life.
"Life sucks, you know?" Sam was beyond wasted; he had slammed his 9th tequila shot on the bar counter. Mike, Finn, Puck and Artie hadn't even finished their first beer and Sam was already drunk.
"Dude, I think you need to slow it down of the shots. You're already drunk." Mike was starting to grow concern, Sam only laughed and asked the bartender to fill up the glass.
"Nah, man. I'm just getting started. I need this. I really do." Sam chugged his 10th tequila shot and coughed as he drank it too fast. The bartender couldn't help but laugh.
"You want something stronger boy?" The bartender was Puck's uncle and he didn't like it that he found it funny Sam's was getting drunk.
"Uncle Jack!" Sam nodded in approval with his suggestion of stronger stuff. Puck gestured his head in disbelieve to how quickly his uncle brought the tequila.
"Now that's what I am talking about!" Sam slammed the tequila shot on the counter, as he couldn't stop laughing along with the bartender.
After 8 shots of the stronger tequila Puck's uncle gave him, Sam was dead wasted. Mike and Finn both grabbed Sam who was unconscious as Puck strolled Artie out of the bar.
"Thanks uncle Jack." His uncle laughed.
"That boy is welcome back to my bar as many times as he likes. A boy with such a strong stomach is accepted here." Puck ignores his uncle comment and continued walking. He saw Mike and Finn placing Sam in the back seat.
"You guys don't want a ride to Mercedes' good-bye party?" Puck asked as Artie strolled himself to where Mike and Finn were.
"No man, it's cool we can walk. Besides you need to take drunken trouty back to your house. We'll meet you over there." Puck nodded waving goodbye to the guys before getting into his car. As soon as he got inside and closed the door he heard Sam sobbing.
He quickly turned to see Sam with his hands covering his face and still sobbing quietly.
"Dude, are you crying?" Sam didn't answer he just continued. Finally he let everything out.
"I love her Puck! I came here thinking we can start fresh! Thinking we can be together again!" Puck saw the truth in Sam's eyes; he could see Sam was really telling the truth. Then the role of friend came in.
"Then why did you leave her?" Puck yelled at Sam groaned and grabbed his head, as his hangover came early and he also started whimpering like a hurt dog.
"I didn't have a choice." Puck was beyond confused; did he leave intentionally or because of his parent's situation? Maybe it was because of his parent's situation and not because he didn't love her, then that changed things. But puck had to get the confirmation from Sam, before he could tell Kurt, then hopefully he could tell Mercedes that Sam never abandoned her.
"What do you mean Sam?" Sam didn't response, which made Puck impatient and angry.
"Sam!" Sam had knocked out, he was unconscious, and will be for the next hour or two.
"Damn it!" Puck started the car, and took Sam to his house, then drove towards Mercedes' home; in hopes of telling her the real reason Sam had left.
"I can't believe my baby graduated and now she is headed to NYU with Kurt, Blaine and Rachel. Please take care of her. I know she doesn't need anyone to look after her because she is a Jones; strong, fearless and talented. I'm love you and I'm going to miss you baby girl. To Mercedes" Mrs. jones started to cry and the guest cheered "Mercedes." Mercedes went to hug her mom.
"I wont be gone forever." Mrs. Jones laughed and hugged her daughter again. Mercedes let her go and went to meet Quinn, Rachel, Blaine, Artie and Mike. Puck walked in panting and looking around as in search of something or someone. Once Puck saw Mercedes he was about to go up to her but Kurt got in the way.
"Are you alright Puck?" Puck took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Kurt man, we got everything all wrong. Sam…why... he... left." Kurt turned to see is Mercedes heard his name since Puck spoke loud, thankfully she didn't.
"What do you mean?" Puck coughed as he bended his body down still trying to breath.
"Sam had to leave because of his parents situation, not because he didn't love her. He did and he still does." Kurt didn't seem quite convinced.
"Did he tell you that?" Puck knew he didn't, but he was going to get here before he passed out.
"No, but he started bursting into tears telling me he loved her, you could tell he did and still does. Then when I asked why he left her, he said he didn't have a choice." Kurt didn't speak, why didn't he even doubt the nice, blond boy he helped when he needed it. He doubted the boy who was there for him when Karofsky was bullying him.
"Oh my god. Of course, why didn't I think that was the reason he left?" Puck nodded as he finally cleared his problem of trying to breath and calmed down. Kurt turned to see Mercedes laughing along with Santana and Quinn. Then turned around to face Puck.
"She looks so happy, I hate crushing her spirit, especially on such a happy day for her. She even told me that she didn't want to think about Sam anymore. She wanted to take him out of her life." Puck scoffed.
"Because she thinks he left her intentionally. She thinks that Sam never loved her. Kurt you have to tell her, or I will." Kurt looked surprised that Puck was acting like this, like a true friend.
"Why do you care so much about Mercedes' happiness?" Puck laughed softly.
"I promised her I would be a good friend to her, and you out of all people should be the one to tell her what really happened." Kurt nodded in approval and Puck smacked his shoulder playfully. He left Puck and went to kiss his girlfriend Quinn. (Yes they are dating).
Kurt slowly made to Mercedes taking a deep breath.
"May I please talk to my diva for a second." Santana nodded and she went holding hands with Brittany with Finn and Artie to get more food.
"What is it Kurt?" She recently was laughing at something stupid Santana had said, so she was smiling pretty big. Kurt smiled and took another deep breath, which mde Mercedes nervous.
"Kurt, you are scaring me what is it?" Kurt turned to see Puck smiling at mouthing the words "tell her."
"Puck heard from a reliable source that…" Kurt's hands started trembling, he didn't know why he found this difficult.
"Kurt spit it out, you know I hate it when people make a big deal of nothing." Kurt laughed.
"Honey, it turns out that this isn't one of those times. This is a pretty huge and drastic deal." Mercedes looked confused as Kurt's already sweating face.
"Kurt it will be easier if you say it really fast. Just rip the band aid." Wow, it's scaring how Mercedes and Rachel had the same thought, when revealing this news. He thought. Kurt closed his eyes and took one last breath before telling her.
"Okay. Sam didn't leave intentionally. He left because his family's situation got worse." He squeezed his eyes tighter thinking she was going to scream or hit him. But when he didn't hear anything from her, he opened them to make sure she was still next to him.
Once he opened them he saw Mercedes shocked as ever, but quiet also. Her eyes were slowly creating tears; her hands started trembling more and more. She started whimpering then that's when she started sobbing quietly. Kurt turned to Puck and Quinn who were both staring with concern at Mercedes.
"Mercedes please say something." Mercedes started sobbing louder and louder, that's when Kurt called Puck and Quinn to help him move her to the kitchen.
"Mercedes breath." Quinn grabbed her trembling hands as Puck placed his arms around her waist preventing her from fainting.
"Are you okay?" Puck asked and immediately Mercedes came back into reality.
"Is it true? Please tell me it isn't true?" Puck sighed and grabbed his neck; he had nothing to say to her because it was true. Mercedes took a deep breath by closing her eyes, releasing more tears.
"It doesn't matter if his departure wasn't intentional. It doesn't matter, because he never called me. Not one time so, this doesn't change anything. He could have called me when he arrived, or maybe given me a chance to tell me without crushing me on the night that meant so much to me. He didn't even write me, I mean I expected at least that, but nothing. So tell me, why should I look at this as a reason to forgive him?" Kurt, Quinn and Puck felt her heart shatter again right in front of her eyes once again, something Kurt wanted to avoid.
"Puck, how do you even know this?" Puck coughed trying to hide the fact that he invited Sam the graduation. He planned on telling her, but since this got her all worked up he decided to keep it a secret.
"He called me." Crap, that isn't making things any better. He thought. Mercedes guffawed and started wiping her tears.
"So he calls you, but doesn't have the decency to call me? Was he even planning on it?" Puck shrugged his shoulders, as he received a "really?" look from both Quinn and Kurt?
Mercedes laughed and fixed herself and nodded in disapproval.
"Look, let's forget we even had this conversation." Kurt looked shocked, he never thought Mercedes would react like this.
"Mercedes, please tell me this changes your perspective on Sam." Mercedes inhaled sharply and looked away from them.
"I wish it did Kurt, but it doesn't. This will help me, this will give me the strength to forget him." Quinn looked at her sympathetically, she knew Mercedes wasn't telling the truth.
"Mercedes, you know in your heart that isn't true." Quinn grabbed her hands and Mercedes lowered her head.
"I thought your heart was never suppose to let you down, but it did. And I can't go through that again, and I won't. I'm leaving tonight for New York; I'm starting a new chapter of my life. So none of this really matters. So please, let's not talk about this okay? Let's enjoy the party." Mercedes tried hiding her wrecked heart by smiling. She left Quinn, Kurt and Puck and headed to greet one of her aunts.
"That went well." Quinn smacked Puck's shoulder hard after his comment.
"No it did not Noah! How could you tell her Sam called you, things went downhill after that." Puck was stroking his bruised shoulder as Kurt sighed sadly.
"And that's why things should have been kept a secret." Puck nodded in disagreement.
"It's better she find out now, then later." Kurt crossed his arms across his chest and nodded.
"One thing you did right Noah, was you didn't tell her he came to the graduation. Or else that would have destroyed her completely." Puck nodded and all them stared at Mercedes, as she tried to hide her pain by talking to her family. Then Kurt thought of an idea.
"Puck, i have an idea. Get Sam here before we leave for the airport. We need to get them too see each other. I will hold us back as long as I can, I'll give you an hour, but I can't give you more." Quinn smiled widely as Puck yelled quietly.
"Oh hell yeah! I'm on my way." Puck left the party the way he arrived running and out of breath but this time to make a memorable event happen.
Puck entered his house quickly and was useless at not making noise. It sounded like things being thrown everywhere.
Puck slammed the door open to find Sam still asleep. He tried moving him hoping he would wake up.
"Sam! Wake up! Come on!" Sam was unresponsive but still breathing, then Puck thought of an idea. He ran to his kitchen and grabbing a pot he filled it with cold water. He came back into his room and threw the freezing water at Sam, which without a doubt woke him up.
"Ah! What the hell? Puck what the hell did you do that for?" Puck laughed as Sam was trembling plus when you add the fact that he was drunk, it made it hilarious to watch him stand up straight.
"Look man, we don't have time but we have to get you dressed up, well at least let you change clothes so you won't look like a hobo who just wet himself." Sam was definitely confused to what was happening.
"What? Why?" Puck punched him playfully on his shoulder.
"Mercedes is leaving for New York in less than an hour, and we have to get you two together." Sam looked at Puck as if someone told him he sucked at speaking Na'vi.
"What? New York? Why?" Puck ran to his closet trying to pick out clothes for Sam to change in.
"She got accepted to NYU's Music and Performing Arts department." Sam smiled as he remembered when they were together that she told him that was her dream school.
"She actually got in? That's amazing." Puck threw a red T-shirt and jeans at Sam to change, but he was too busy reminiscing that memory in his mind.
"Dude! We don't have time! Are you going to change or not?" Sam quickly took his wet shirt off and started changing.
"All right, I'll be outside waiting for you. Hurry up I don't think can hold them much longer." Sam nodded as Puck ran out the door and into his car.
A couple of minutes later Sam ran out of his house and into his car. Puck immediately turned on the car as they drove fast towards Mercedes' home, in hopes of still finding them.
As soon as they got to Mercedes' home, Sam ran out of the car and towards the door. He started knocking like a maniac on the front door until someone opened it.
"Sam? What are you doing here?" Mrs. Jones opened the door; she was beyond surprise to find Sam at her doorstep. Even though he saw her with her boyfriend, he didn't care, he wanted to see her.
"Mrs. Jones I was wondering is Mercedes was still here." In his heart he wished she was upstairs still getting ready, but life didn't turn out as planned.
"Sam, I'm sorry. You just missed her. She left with Kurt, Rachel and Blaine 20 minutes ago." Sam's world came crumbling down, Mrs. Jones saw how Sam's face turned from excited to distraught within seconds.
"Thanks anyway Mrs. Jones." She gave him a warm smile even after all she thought he did to her. Mrs. Jones never stopped liking Sam; she always knew he loved her daughter. She didn't doubt it one bit.
"Your welcome, sorry again." Sam smiled back at her and headed back to find Puck already waiting for him outside and ready for Sam to fall into his arms for a hug, and he did.
"It's all right man." Sam wasn't crying anymore. He started thinking, if fate didn't want them together; he wasn't going to question it. Though he will miss her with all his heart. Maybe he can finally forget her (though he thinks).
Puck released him from his hug and grabbed Sam's shoulder.
"What now man?" Sam looked at Puck and sighed.
"I'm moving back to Lima."
I AM SO SORRY! I had to leave you wanting more? Did it work? LOL Hopefully you like Mercedes telling Shane to get lost! Do you think Mercedes reacted properly the news? or do you think she overreacted. Also, it goes to show, a mother's instinct is never wrong, and even though Mercedes told her mother Sam left her, she doesn't believe the reason why he left is true. She thinks otherwise. Hope you guys liked it! Please Review:)
