" I see the way you look when you hear his name.."
In the dimmed auditorium , Mercedes sat in one of the many empty seats. The school was supposed to be closed but the reformed glee club had needed to practice for upcoming sectionals. That had been over two hours ago. She knew nobody would notice her absence. Always in the background, so she snuck out. Seeing all of her friends was great at first but she suddenly felt like a loner. Santana and Brittany were engaged to be married in a few weeks. Blaine and Kurt, also engaged and everybody always knew that Puck and Quinn were always going to reunite. Even Tina and Mike were now talking about rekindling their relationship. She tried not to let it get to her as she looked at Rachel hanging onto Sam's shoulder the whole evening.
"I hear you loud as a bomb wanting a shoulder to cry on"
"You two are obviously soul mates!" Mercedes tried to repress the memory of her "friend". She had heard the news of their dating though Brittany of all people. It had hurt— Really Hurt. She thought Sam and her were making progress from the few weeks they had been there. Then Rachel came in the picture. It was a little insulting actually. But she still couldn't get over the fact that it was finally over.
"It's in the moments when your left all on your own where your hit from out of nowhere"
Tears pricked at her eyes and she closed them releasing her pain with a quiet whimper. She wrapped her arms around herself. "I'm pitiful" she tried to laugh but all she could manage was a small sigh. The lights that dimmed room suddenly turned pitch black. "Well I guess that's my cue to leave" she thought but she stayed there letting the darkness consume her. Soon after she dried her eyes and got up slowly exiting the auditorium.
She slipped her heels back on and she strode down the dark hallway. A new found confidence was ignited in her as she walked past the choir room. With the her head held high she walked straight out of McKinley Highschool. She turned to look back at the entrance. Goodbye. As she walked down to the parking lot she heard familiar voices of her friends. Sure enough they were all hanging out in the parking lot.
"There's my boo" Artie's voice rang out. She almost smiled at his comment but she pressed on towards her truck.
"Mercedes! I know you weren't gonna just bolt on us?" Santana shouted from across the lot. Mercedes paused. She didn't want to be rude that wasn't her, even though it was what she wanted at the moment. Turning around she walked to the opposite side of the parking lot where they stood. "We were just going to go to BreadSticks since everybody is in town." Mike spoke as she approached the group. Looking directly at Mike she tried to ignore Sam's persistent stare.
"I'm actually pretty tired and I think I'm going to head home." It wasn't exactly a lie.
"Aww Come on Mercedes." She didn't even acknowledge that squeaky voice that she wanted so much to strangle. "No thank you. You guys have fun without me." Smiled and waved before turning around to head back to her truck. The click of her heels on the pavement was shared with the sound of their halfhearted goodbyes. After what seemed like 30 minutes she finally reached her truck. Digging around in her purse she looked for her keys.
"Mercedes." His voice made her freeze but only for a second. She had found her keys and she proceeded to unlock the vehicle.
"Mercedes"
His voice sounded a lot closer and her body betrayed her sneaking a glance at the man who still held her broken heart. He was much closer than she expected. He stood about 3 feet away from her and was still approaching.
"Yes Sam?" His green eyes scanned over her face as if he was puzzled. "Is something wrong?" She looked away from his gaze taking a breath. "No, I'm fine. Goodnight Sam." She opened the door and got in the truck but before she could close the door, Sam stopped her by blocking the door. He didn't say anything but his face grew solemn. Mercedes matched his expression as he continued to stare at her.
"I need to go." She couldn't do this. Not right now. Not ever. Goodbye Forever.
Sam let go of her truck stuffing his hands in his pockets and it seemed that he was finally leaving. He walked around the truck as Mercedes closed her door. Turning the vehicle on she paused for a moment taking in the song that now played softly.
"Here and now, You're afraid…"
The passenger door opened and the cold air hit her as she turned to see Sam get in. He closed the door and his green eyes gleamed with determination. Grabbing her hand that had been on the steering wheel, he spoke the words that Mercedes had wanted so desperately to hear but also dreaded to face.
"I cant let you go…Not again." We are Forever.
" I'll teach you to fly before you fall away"
A/N:Hey guyyys
Idk what this even is. I was super depressed about Satchel and yeah and I felt like this song would be appropriate for the situation.
Hoped it was okay.
Guest: Don't make me cry about that :'( . I was so pissed. But what made me so sad about it is that Michael wrote it. He was the one who "loved" samcedes so I'm a bit confused. But the twitter rage and trend made me feel better. I still don't think their endgame but it's so disrespectful to have them fling this nastiness in our faces, especially when Mercedes is helping out the chick who's out for her man.
LOL all a lot of y'all aren't watching. I cant blame you ...glee has sucked me in so far that I have to watch whenever Mercedes is in the episode basically. So Kimpa7809 and I will stand in the gap for you lol
Well Hang in there. We'll get our happily ever after ;)
