Chapter 9: Love Me When I'm Gone
This was going to be the longest four hour trip in history. Even though it was for the best why did Sam feel like he was riding to his doom? He refused to shed any tears when he was around Mercedes and his friends, but now that he was sitting in the front passenger seat of his family's jeep he couldn't control the several tears that began to fall down his cheeks. He knew saying goodbye to Lima was going to be hard, but saying goodbye to his girlfriend was completely undoable. Cassandra Evans looked and saw her son's resolved starting to crumble so she reached and grabbed his hand in hers not saying a word. She knew her and her husband were asking too much of their eldest son, first him having to basically put the weight of their entire family on his shoulders and now they were taking him away from the one thing that they deemed his salvation and sanity from their crazy, messed up lives. She knew he was too young to have to worry about so many burdens in life and watching him these last two and half days she made a promise to herself to never again see or put Sam through this again.
Sam smiled weakly at his mom he knew he was making her feel guilty about them having to move but it wasn't intentional.
"Why don't you rest your eyes for a while honey Stevie, Stacy, and I are fine." His mom told him.
"I'm fine I will sleep when we get to where we are going." Sam replied his voice sad and crestfallen.
"Look Sam I am sor-" She began.
"On second thought a nap sounds good." He cut his mom off. He didn't want to talk about the situation right now it was too soon and too much to handle. He laid his head back and closed his eyes his mind instantly began to replay the events of the past couple of days.
OOOO
"We're leaving Lima Mercy."
"What? Who? Wait I don't understand." Mercedes said confused.
"My dad got a job and we have to move."
Mercedes felt like her throat was closing and she was soon gasping for air. She didn't hear him right he could not leave her. A worried Sam held her close in his arms and held her tight to his chest. He knew how she felt because when his mother delivered the news to him earlier he found it hard to breathe as if someone had set on his chest.
"Breathe Mercy just breathe." He tried to calm her down.
"No. You can't leave me Sam." She said as she found her voice.
"I know baby I can't." He was trying not to cry again because he knew he needed to be strong for the both of them.
"Where?" She asked tears brimming the rim of her eyes.
"Kentucky." He answered after a few seconds.
"Kentucky! Ken tuc key Kentucky." She kept saying as if repeating it was going to change anything. "When?"
"Saturday."
"SATURDAY?" She whispered screamed in disbelief. "No that's too soon Sam."
"I know but I am afraid I don't have a say in the matter Mercedes. I can't believe that I spent the entire day fighting with you not knowing that we were on borrowed time. I am so sorry about everything."
He reached for her and hugged her tight, desperately. The tears in her eyes began to flow because she could no longer keep them contain. This wasn't fair she had been waiting so long to find a guy like Sam. Someone that loved her for her and didn't worry about the little things that others deems as what should be, and now that she had found him he was being taken away from her. Was it selfish of her to think for one second that her need for Sam not to leave her was more important than the bigger picture of Sam's father finding a job to support his family? She pushed the thought out of her mind and decided to not spoil what little time they had left dwelling on how wrong this was. She tightens her arms wrapped around Sam trying to insert this moment, this feeling, of being in his arms into her mind. He looks down at her and wipes a tear from her cheek with his thumb. She smiles weakly at him and closes her eyes to his touch. He bends downs and kisses her face all over, his lips making their way to hers last. They didn't kiss each other like it was going to be their last but instead like it was any other normal day where their lips dance around each other's until they were both breathless.
"Make love to me Sammy." Mercedes whispered breathless breaking the kiss.
"I don't think that's a-" He began to protest but she cut him short with another kiss, only this time she pushed her tongue in his open mouth without seeking admission and deepened the kiss. She didn't hold back anything her hands traveled over his entire body in desperation. He let out a small moan when she bit his bottom lip and then soothed some of the pain away by sucking it gently in between her plump lips.
"Please." She begged.
"What about your parents." He asked looking into her chocolate orbs.
"I don't care about that I just want to be with you right now, I need you and nothing else matters."
He could see the want and need in her eyes. He would do anything in that moment for the woman that he loved consequences be damned. Not because he was whipped or some sucker for Mercedes but, because he understood wholeheartedly what she needed being that he needed to be with her also. The need was too much to resist especially since their impending separation was coming. The need to kiss her soft curvaceous body all over one last time. The need to feel her lips make flaming paths of pleasure from his neck to the beginning of his happy trail. The need to hear her tell him how good he made her feel by doing the simplest of things to her brown, soft, skin. The need of her in general of his Mercedes Jones. He leaned in cupping her cheeks, his forehead connecting to hers, softly pecks her on the lips and nodded in agreement to what she had asked.
It only took a matter of seconds for the both of them to be rid of their clothes once they made it quietly to her bedroom. There was no rush when it came to the actually task at hand unlike the last few times. Everything was unhurried and savoring. Sam kissed her gently as he lay between her legs there was no rough grab or pull of his hair this time, instead she tenderly stroked the hair on the nape of his neck with her fingers. He kissed every inch of her body slow, sensual, and caring. The way his lips explored her was a feeling that she had not expected and would never cease to exist in her mind. She was trembling from the sensation that he was causing and the anticipation of what was to come. He could smell her arousal wafting in the air and the smell was intoxicating. He licked a line from the middle of her beautiful breasts down to her warm, hot, center. He placed a few light kisses on her lower lips at first before diving in hungrily. He licked, slurped, and sucked at her like an ice cream cone melting fast on a hot, summer day only the taste of her was much sweeter. Mercedes was losing her grip on reality. She was fighting the urge to scream at the top of her lungs from Sam's ministrations. His mouth felt like heaven but it was hell for her to hold back her cries of pleasure. She tried her best to scoot away from him to relieve some of the pressure but he wasn't having any of that not tonight. He grabbed her hips and pulled her closer to him placing her legs over his shoulders. He pushes his tongue inside her and uses his nose to tease her clit and that was all she wrote. Mercedes grabbed a pillow to muffle the sounds of her cries and whimpers as her building orgasm came to a head pouring her sweet. tangy, nectar into Sam's awaiting mouth. He kissed his way back up her body until he reached her lips allowing her to taste herself.
"You will always be the best thing I've ever eaten." He laughed.
"You're so silly Sam." She smiled up at him.
Sam positioned himself between her legs and rubbed his hardness along her middle when Mercedes reached for his hand and stopped him confusion placed on Sam's face.
"Switch with me." She whispered.
"You sure?" He asked.
"Yeah."
They switch positions with Sam sitting up against the wall at the head of Mercedes bed. She straddled him nervously. She knew this was something that he always wanted to try but she was always to insecure to do it. Now given the circumstances she owed it not only to herself but to Sam to give it a try. She lowered herself onto to him with his help and they both groaned at the sensation. Finally, when she was all the way down she began to grind in a slow, steady, pace. She silently cursed herself for not giving into this position sooner because the way his dick was hitting her spot just right was amazing. He was thrusting upwards into to her matching her rhythm and his grip on her smooth, round, bottom tighten. Their pace quickens and Sam couldn't hold back the "fuck Mercy" that escaped his lips. She wraps her arms around him and buries her face into his neck to drown out her moans and yelps while raking her nails up and down his back. Sam could tell he wasn't going to last too much longer so he latched onto one her nipples biting it then sucking it hard in his mouth. Her walls tighten around his cock and she came for the second time with Sam following her a few quick thrusts later. They stared in each other's eyes foreheads touching as they rode their orgasm out.
"I love you Mercedes Jones."
"I love you too Sam Evans."
They held one another like this in silence for a couple more minutes until Sam relentlessly left to go home before his mother started to panic.
The next day at school was somber, and filled with goodbyes. Sam announced to the Glee Club with Mercedes at his side that that was his last day and he was moving. The whole room was in shock. All the girls except Santana who was trying to act cool about the situation started crying, until Sam hugged her and told her he was actually going to miss her then she let a couple tears falls saying "screw you trouty mouth screw you." They all sang together one last time ending it with their signature group hug.
His family had dinner with Mercedes and her family Friday night where they all seemed to enjoy being in each others company. Stacy and Stevie attached themselves to Mercedes the entire night and he couldn't count the number of times when his little sister would go into fits of tears at the thought of leaving Mercedes behind. He watched his girlfriend and she remained strong for his siblings through and through. When it was time to say goodnight Stacy begged her mother to stay the night with her and after another crying fit she agreed. Sam couldn't help the jealously that he felt for his sister being able to snuggle one last time in the bed with Mercedes because that was all he wanted to do. Hold her one last time, make love to her one last time, but he knew no matter what it wasn't going to happen. And if his prays were delivered straight to God, Bonnie Jones suggested that the entire family stay the night to get a decent and comfortable night rest before heading on the road. Of course she didn't take no for an answer and Sam decided to call Puck and Finn to help pack up the little belongings they had into the family jeep.
When the boys had everything packed and ready to go Sam decided to use this time to talk to them about something that had been on his mind.
"Can you guys do something for me please?" He asked as they were walking to check out his hotel room. "Can you look out for Mercy for me?"
"Dude you need not to even ask that question we already do." Puck said.
"Yeah you have nothing to worry about." Finn said.
"I guess I am just going to be worried about her now that we are going to be apart. I just want to make sure that someone is looking out for her that isn't name Shane Tinsely."
"Don't worry bro I got your back and Merce's too." Puck said patting him on the back.
"We all do." Added Finn.
"Thanks guys." Sam smiled. "For everything."
The three friends man hugged each other before saying their goodbyes. When Sam made it back to the Jones everyone was up front watching a movie so he joined them. After the movie the house began to whine down and Stacy and Stevie begged to sleep with Mercedes so they did with her in the middle. Morning soon came and they all shared a big breakfast thanks to the women. They were eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, grits, and fried potatoes. The atmosphere wasn't as festive as dinner the night before but was more filled with the reality of the Evans' approaching departure. Mercedes and her mom packed plenty of sandwiches and snacks for their four hour car ride. Before anyone knew it was 10 minutes till noon the time they had planned to leave. Stacy was crying again and this time Mercedes, Cassandra, and Bonnie had joined her.
"Thank you Jones family for everything that you guys have done for me and mine." Cassandra said hugging each of them.
"The pleasure was all ours and remember don't be strangers call us sometimes." Bonnie said. "Good luck with everything in Kentucky."
Stevie and Stacy both hugged Mercedes together and she squeezed both of them tight.
"I love you guys." She said kissing them both on the cheek.
"We love you to Cede." They said and hugged her once more. Elijah and Bonnie escorted Cassandra and the twins outside to the car to give Sam and Mercedes a few seconds alone. They practically ran into each others arms holding on for dear life. Mercedes could feel the tears starting to form again as she melted in her boyfriend's arms.
"I don't want you to go." She said.
"And I don't want to leave." He replied.
He moved his hands to her neck and they kissed passionately. His tongue slid across her bottom lip seeking permission and she happily granted. Their tongues were twisting together one last time so he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. The kiss was sweet, heartfelt, and erotic. They kissed one another until air became a factor.
"I love you always beautiful." He said kissing her lips once more.
"As I love you Sammy." She said as he swiped a falling tear from her face. "Come on lets go."
"No stay here please."
"What? Why."
"Because if you walk me outside and I see your face sad and crying I won't be able to get in that Jeep Mercy. So stay inside here okay."
She didn't say anything but just simply nodded her head yes. He hugged her once more taking a deep breath breathing her in one more time and she closed her eyes. With a kiss to the forehead he released her, turned and walked out of the door. They had decided the night before that they were not going to say goodbye being that it would be too much for either one to handle. After they left Mercedes went to her room to lie in her bed and cry. The pain of losing Sam was too much to bear. Later there was a knock on her door she said come in expecting her mother but was surprised to see Puck walking towards her. Without a word he climbed in next to her and held her close while she cried in his chest.
OOOO
Sam could still smell her the whole car ride to Kentucky. When they left, he text Puck he was gone and to go and check on her Mercedes later. Even though him and Mercedes agreed to stay a couple he knew things weren't going to be the same, but he was determined not to let his one true love slip away no matter the distance between them.
AN: Hope you guys liked it. Tell me what you thought of this chapters and things you guys want to see happen while they are apart. Are you happy they decided not to break up and what you thought of Puck being her shoulder to cry on. There will be a small time jump next chapter and remember you will like me at first but then you are gonna possible hate. Please review it is my motivation.
