I know you're all probably pissed at me & I understand. I've been away for months but my computer acts really rotten & I was oping to have it fixed by now. It's still not but at least I'm able to get on it every so often so this is what I'm doing.
I actually finished this story (I decided to split it up) but this past Sunday, I dropped my phone in the toilet so everything from the makeupto graduation is lost. I have to rewrite everything from memory. Yeah. It's going to be hard & it won't be as good as it was but I'm trying.
Enjoy!

I finally found that punk at his locker. He was stocking it for his return the next day but all I could see was him getting away with his crimes.
I slammed his locker shut, making him jump. "You bastard!"
"Jones?" He looked around before scowling. "What the hell do you want?"
"For you to pay!" I stepped closer. "You think you could just do that to Kurt & no one would care? Well, guess what? I care!"
Finn finally caught up to me & wrapped an arm around my body, holding me back. "Cedes, don't do this."
"I'm about to take this fool to the carpet!" I shouted. "No one messes with my baby & gets away with it!"
"It's what he wants." Finn murmured in my ear but I was too far gone.
"Why don't you pick on somebody who's not afraid of you?!"
"Like you?" Karofsky stepped closer.
I struggled against Finn. "You're damn right! I dare you to try something!"
He got even closer with a mean look on his face. "You better listen to Hudson, little girl."
"I'm not too little to let you taste my fist!" I knew people were staring but I didn't care. "I know exactly what you are, Dave Karofsky!"
His eyes widened. "What?"
"I know exactly what you are & you're worthless." My voice lowered but the intensity didn't. "You're a pathetic excuse for a human being & you just chased out the only person who'd ever try to understand where you're coming from!"
"What did he tell you?!" He slammed his fist into his locker.
"He didn't tell me a word." I bit off. "You did. With your words. With your actions. You're nothing but an asshole who's going to get what's coming to him one of these days!"
He jumped towards me but before I could drop kick him, Finn stepped in front of me, pushing him back. "Wait a minute, dude."
Karofsky got his bearings & glared at Finn. "Move. She wants to talk hard, she can get hit hard."
"I may have been too late to defend my brother but you're not putting your hands on her!" I've never seen Finn get so angry. I guess he might have regretted not fighting when Kurt was here & might have still carried a grudge with the football player.
"You're such a freak!" Karofsky snapped. "Hanging out with all those losers turned you into one. We used to be boys."
"I decided I'd rather be a man!" I was really liking the new Finn Hudson. No wonder Rachel was so possessive!
"You can't protect her forever." Karofsky sneered.
"The hell we can't!" I turned to face Mike. I didn't know he was anywhere around. "& Artie's not here. Who you gonna push me into now?"
"Like I'm afraid of you!" I could tell by his eyes that he was bluffing. & he should have been. Mikey can get down. Don't let the skinniness fool you!
Puck strolled up. "You need to worry about your mouth before it writes a check your ass can't cash."
"You can't touch me!" Karofsky scoffed. "You'd be booted back to juvie so fast, it'd make your head spin!"
"I'd go to prison for Mama." Puck declared. My insides melted at that. "Watch yourself."
"& I'd really like another go." Sam appeared out of nowhere. "This time without Coach to save your ass."
"All this to protect this bitch?" He flipped his hand at me like I was a fly.
Puck, Sam & Mike jumped at him but Finn held them all back by some miracle. "He's scared."
"Finn's right." I smirked & made my way to stand in front of Karofsky. His eyes followed my every move. "All of you could mess him up on your own but all four of you would end up killing him. But it's unnecessary."
I shrugged. "Because as much as I would love to see him beat down, it won't bring Kurt back. But make no mistake." I stared the coward down. "You mess with Kurt again & you'll wish I'd let them at you. I'm not nearly as nice."
I turned my back on that SOB & led my boys away, confident I had made my point.
S&M&P
Puck: POV
To say I was turned on by what Mama told Karofsky would be an understatement. She was so sexy going godfather on his worthless ass!
We made our way back to the choir room where Finn called Rachel, who in turn called all the other girls. I texted Artie. Within moments, everyone was together.
"What's going on?" Santana walked in bored. "The hobbit said it was necessary."
"It is." Finn told her. He waited for everyone to take a seat before he turned to Mama. "Cedes, you were amazing!"
"I was angry." She admitted sheepishly. See, everyone thinks Mama has a bad attitude when in reality, she's super sweet. It takes a lot to make her mad. Karofsky made her mad. She was coming off the high just now.
"You were amazing." Mike rubbed her knee. What the hell was that?!
She smiled at him in thanks. "I shouldn't have done it though. It was stupid."
"It was brave!" Finn corrected her.
"Is anyone going to fill us in on what she did?" Artie demanded.
Between the five of us, we recounted the story. When we got done, a cheer went up.
"MJ, you are a hero!" Artie pretended to bow.
"I just told him off." She waved away the praise.
"You let him know his bullying isn't tolerated." Sam was gazing at her in a lovesick way. It made me want to puke but I knew I wore it sometimes, too. Chick had a way of making a man fall!
"Which is why I stepped down as acting principal." We all turned to face the voice of the person we hated slightly less than Karofsky; Coach Sue Sylvester.
"What do you want?" Quinn snapped. "We don't have anything for you."
"I want Martha Walsh." She clasped her hands behind her back.
Most of us had stupid looks on our faces. I know I didn't know who the hell that was. Mama was smiling so I guessed it was a compliment.
Quinn rolled her eyes. "She's one of the Weather Girls. You know? From It's Raining Men? I'm surrounded!"
There were "ohs" from the girls but us guys were having a harder time.
Mama started singing the chorus & the girls jumped in. We got it then & they started giggling at our obtuseness.
"Now that you're all caught up, Jailbird-" I narrowed my eyes at her. "Dumb & Tall-" Finn cocked his head in confusion, not getting the reference to the chain of menswear stores, Big & Tall. "Sit & Spin-" Artie's jaw dropped. "Pearl Harbor-" Mike muttered "So racist!" under his breath. "& tall, blonde & lips-" Sam touched his mouth. "I can get down to business."
"Which would be?" Santana folded her arms. "Why do you want Wheezy?"
"For my team!" Sue looked at Satan like she was as bright as Brittany.
"Why?" Quinn wouldn't budge either.
"Nationals." Sue rolled her eyes this time. "We won last year but I believe it would have gone better if a certain plus sized singer didn't desert her team."
"I didn't desert the Cheerios, Coach Sue!" Mama protested. "I had to leave for my own sanity!"
"Sanity's overrated!" She waved a hand.
"So that's her excuse!" Mike whispered to me. I smirked. Chang's my funniest bro.
"I heard that, Panda Express!" She scowled at him. That woman had the ears of a damn bat!
Mike was going to say something but Mama spoke. "That's a compliment! Panda Express has bomb food!"
That appeased him & he sat back content. Tina rubbed his shoulder. "So you want Cedes back only for competition?" The tiny Asian shook her head. "Why now?"
"Not just competitions but yes." Sue admitted. "I didn't think I needed her after I won but I liked having that extra edge. Winning is fantastic but I like crushing the competition."
"There's a reason I quit." Mama refused to humor the psycho.
"Something about being true to who you are or some other garbage you told yourself." Sue tried to not roll her eyes but I guessed being around us made it impossible. "I know it was because you were sick of Charlie Sheen."
"Hey!" I couldn't believe she called me Charlie Sheen! I don't do drugs! Weed doesn't count.
She was completely unapologetic. "You weren't man enough for her so she ran. I call it how I see it." My mouth fell open. I couldn't believe she was blaming me! "That's why I lost one of my key players."
Sam looked so confused. "Mercy was a cheerleader?"
Sue nodded proudly. "& she will be again."
"No, I won't!" Mama looked downright offended. "Why the hell would I willingly sign up to be one of your evil henchmen again?"
"Because I'm willing to make a few compromises." She sighed. "I can get you a slightly longer skirt for the spring, I won't harp on your weight & I'll leave the glee club alone."
"You have to take it, Cedes!" Rachel was basically pimpin Mama out!
Q whistled for Britt & Satan to follow her. They huddled together whispering before coming back. Q nodded at Mama, who looked at her hard. Mama nodded at Coach Satan. "Okay."
"Come get your uniform."
"Now?"
"Now."
Mama gathered her stuff & the rest of the cheerleaders followed them out. The rest of us split up after that but I checked my phone when it went off in my pocket. My room midnight Oh yeah!
S&M&P
I crept in through her window exactly at midnight. I hated seeing her cry & that was what I saw when I moved out of the moon's way & it lit up her soft tear stained cheeks. I took off my boots & climbed in her bed, pulling her into my arms. "Mama."
"I need Abe." She whispered.
After kissing her softly, I gave her what she needed.
S&M&P
Mercedes: POV
I squeezed my eyes shut as I heard Puck's feet hit the floor. I hated this part. It made me feel like some random booty call than a friend. It wasn't his fault but I wished he'd always stay & talk. That made me feel better. That made me feel good about myself. But I was raw & he was leaving.
"You'll be fine."
My shoulders un-bunched. I knew he was gone. But I was able to sleep better than if he'd never spoken at all.
S&M&P
This past week has been crazy! Rachel cheated on Finn with puck because she found out that Finn slept with Santana when they were broken up. Puck was the one to stop everything & tell Finn so when she found herself willing to confess; he was ready to dump her crazy ass. He surprised us all when he asked out Quinn.
There was a little strife musically but Tina & I sung Dog Days are Over so that was a win in my book. Florence + the Machine for the win. As for my own relationship drama, I found a solution in the unlikely of all places; class.
I was literally sitting in class when the idea hit me to make a pie chart. So I used colored pens & got to work. I put in school hours, homework & extra curricular hours, family time, friend time, alone time then finally Sammy time. It turned out good so I marveled over it for a few seconds before the bell rang & it was time for glee. I couldn't wait to show a certain blondeā¦
S&M&P
Sam: POV
I walked to the choir room in a funk. I've been this way all week. Even my family was acting the same. I crashed in a chair, not caring if anyone was in the room. There wasn't. I didn't know how much longer I could take this break thing. I missed Mercy. Really, I missed her. I didn't know she was standing in front of me until she snapped her fingers in front of my face. "Sammy!"
"Huh? Mercy?" I looked up into her smiling face.
She shoved something in mine. "I have something for you."
"what is it?" I didn't care. I was just glad she was talking to me. I took the page eagerly but I didn't understand. "A graph?"
"Yes. I figured out how to spend my time." She sat beside me.
"Does this mean what I think it means?"
She nodded. "Break's broken!"
So like I said; sorry for the loooong delay. I'll try to upload as much as I can.
