Mercedes- (she started crying) Chord I don't know what's wrong with me!

Chord- that's it I'm coming to California! I'm catching a flight first thing tomorrow morning!

Mercedes-No Chord! Sam would hurt me! If he found out! You already started enough mess as it is!

Chord- well where the fu*k is Sam now huh?! While his girl is losing her mind, you the one that called me Mercedes! I didn't call you!

Mercedes-But Chord!

Chord-But Chord nothing I'm coming to California! (Click he hung up in her face)

The next day Chord texted Mercedes for the directions to her apartment when Santana saw Chord standing on her doorstep she was furious

Santana- what are you doing here?!

Chord- Santana I don't have Time for your mess where is Mercedes?

Santana- don't worry about where the hell she is, you didn't answer my question why are you here?!

Chord- ask Mercedes why I'm here!

Mercedes came walking out her room

Santana- Mercedes what is he talking about?

Mercedes- it's ok Santana I called him

Santana- What?! You called him, him!? ( pointing to Chord) out of all people! Oh you have really loss you're damn mind!

Mercedes- Santana listen!

Santana- No you listen! did you forget this the as* hole who fu*ked over you twice! the one who Guts you hated so much, the one who came to California with his wannabe girlfriend to break you and Sam up! now you're calling on him! Mercedes do you realize how crazy this looks!
This is a smack in the face to Tina and I Cedes!

Chord- Santana calm down

Santana- shut up Chord!

Mercedes- Santana I'm sorry! Just hear me out!

Santana- I don't wanna hear it Mercedes! do you know how this makes me feel! I'm hurt Mercedes!

Mercedes-Santana it's not that serious,

Santana- it is serious Mercedes, do you wanna know why?! (She started crying, Santana never cries so Mercedes realized she was really hurt) Tina and I been here for you through everything, through the mess Chord put you through in high school! through all your bullsh*t! Through all this crazy psychotic mess! you and Sam been going through! we've been taking abuse from you the past few days when all we're trying to do is help! You won't talk to us you won't listen to us! but you go and call Chord! Chord!

Tina walked in

Tina- what's going on ?! Chord what the fu*k are you doing here?!

Santana- Apparently Mercedes called him Tina instead of talking to her best friends, her sisters!

Tina- What?! Mercedes really?!

Mercedes- just listen ok! Just listen! I didn't call him with the intentions of talking to him or having him come to California ok! I was so upset that Sam was leaving me! So I called him to yell at him and we ending up talking and he decided to come to me! I'm sorry!

Santana- you shouldn't have called him in the first place Mercedes! If you would've listened to me you would've known that Sam is not leaving you! He needed to be around his family to deal with what he's going through! you know what I'm done! Maybe you can talk some sense into her Chord obviously you're more important to her then her best friends!

Santana stormed out the Apartment

Mercedes-Tan! No! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry sis! please! Santana!

Tina just stood there

Mercedes- Tina, don't leave too I'm sorry I haven't been myself don't give up on me

Tina- I need to check on Santana
( with that she walked out behind Santana)

She turned to Chord,

Mercedes-Chord, I shouldn't have called you I don't know what I was thinking

Chord looked hurt

Mercedes- Sorry

Chord- it's ok Cedes I understand

Tina and Santana won't give up on you they're just hurt right now, so what are you going to do? Maybe it would be best for you to go and visit your family for a minute too

Mercedes- I don't want to be around my family right now Chord,

Chord- Mercedes it really would be best Mercedes you don't have to go now, but just take my advice ok, I know I should be the last one giving you advice I admit I did break your heart more than once, then I came to California with my conniving ways, trying to get you away from Sam, knowing I should've stayed away, I know I can't take back anything I did, but I still Love yo...

Mercedes stopped him and threw her hands up

Mercedes- stop right there Chord I don't have time for this again

Chord- no Mercedes just listen, I still Love you, you will always be my first Love, I have to let you go Mercedes I want you to be happy with Sam and its hurting me to witness you break like this, I didn't know that you have been going through this mess for months,I hope you work this out with Sam, Mercedes

Mercedes- you don't care Chord so stop with the acting you left me now Sam is leaving me!

Chord started laughing sarcastically and shaking his head

Chord- wow I really did a number on you huh? I'm serious Mercedes and did you not hear Sam is just going to visit family, why are you in denial? Do you want him to leave you?

Mercedes- of course not Chord, I don't know what I want

Chord- go visit your family stay for a couple days and come back you can drive back with me I will take you back to Ohio then make my way to Tennessee , we can rent a car and drive or catch a plane whatever is best for you, I promise I won't try anything you can take my word for it, and while you there maybe you can come to Tennessee find Sam and try to work it out

Mercedes-I don't know Chord I don't even know where Sam's parents live

Chord- remember Amber is his Ex I will get the address from her

Mercedes- I don't know if I want you and Amber involved in any of this

Chord- you put me in this already Mercedes, you called me...Amber and I we're off of that, we both feel like fools for what we did, look if you're down we can leave Tomorrow morning I will go rent the car and we can hop on the road to Ohio Then Tennessee

Mercedes- what about Tina and Santana? I wanna make things right with them before I leave

Chord- they will be alright, work it out with them when you get back

Mercedes- Chord I don't think this is an good idea I will take you're word for it, go be with my family but I think you should just go back to Tennessee without me, I will catch a flight home myself

Chord- Trust me Cedes, like I said before Amber and I are off of that,
I already had a talk with Amber, she knows better

Mercedes-Chord just leave ok

Chord- Mercedes please I came here for you as a friend, forgave me Mercedes you have too, you really hate me don't you?

Mercedes- Chord I don't hate you, I try to but I can't, I still Love you, you're my first Love,but my Love for you is that I will always have Love in my heart for you but I can never Love you again like I Love Sam, we can work on being friends again at some point but not now Chord,

Chord- I will take that, but Cedes I...

Mercedes- just leave now Chord! I don't know why I called you in the first place

Chord- Really Mercedes!? I don't have time for the bullsh*t! but remember you called me! And I hopped my.. as you would say " My dumb ass!" on a plane to come to you (And with that he walked away with his head hanging low)

Mercedes- Well I didn't tell your dumb, stupid ass to come now did I?! (Mercedes realized what she said) Chord I'm so sorry!

Chord- (throwing his hands in the air and turning back to Cedes) Mercedes, I'm staying for a day or so if you need me just call me, I'm leaving! (mumbling under his breath, "ole crazy ass")

Mercedes- Chord!

Chord- bye cedes ( he slammed the door in here face)

Mercedes plopped down on the couch thinking to herself (da*n Mercedes you're just running everyone away huh?

The day went on and she never heard from Tina and Santana she texted and called their phones all day with no answer, she didn't blame them for being mad at her but also thought, out of everything they've been through together how could they give up on her now maybe she deserved it

Meanwhile Chord was out grabbing him something to eat when he ran into puck and Mike

Puck- oh hell no I know that's not who I think it is, Chord?

Chord- hey what's up Puck

Puck- don't what's up me what the hell are you doing here, you caused enough drama, I should kick your as*! (Puck jumped at him)

Mike- (jumping in between Chord and Puck) woah! Lets not do this here please Puck it's not worth it, I don't know about you but I'm tired of the drama, Chord what are you doing back in California?

Chord-I'm here for Mercedes

Puck- what's going on with Mercedes?

Chord- she thought Sam was leaving her so she freaked out and called me to chew me out, but it backed fired on and I decided to come to her, look I know I shouldn't be here but I care about Mercedes and I want to be here for her, you guys were my best friends at one point, you should understand the Love I have for Cedes unfortunately she don't want me here now

Mike- good and yeah we "were" your best friends

Puck- who you turned your back on after you moved back to your hometown

Chord- I know I'm sorry, I still consider you guys my best friends who I lost touch with, I know you're best friends with Sam now and I'm not his favorite person but let's just get over this drama and be here for Mercedes and in you guys case for Mercedes and Sam

Puck- you know what I'm going to be there for Cedes and Sam, but you and I probably would never be friends again I don't know but you turned your back on us and messed over Cedes twice, sh* t three times in my eyes because you came here and started all this drama between Cedes and Sam, Chord I'm going to be the bigger person and forgive you maybe we can be friends again or maybe not but I advice you to just stay away from Cedes until she gets her head together, if she decide to let you back in her life that's on her, but for now just lay low ok and we're cool, (walking in Chords face) If you cause anymore drama I will kick your pretty boy as* and I know my boy Mike over here don't have a problem joining me

Chord- no need for all that I will stay away from Mercedes right now but if she wants me by her side there's nothing you two or Santana and Tina can do about it, I might be a jealous asshole when it comes to Cedes but y'all gotta give me more credit then that you know I wouldn't intentionally hurt Cedes you two were my best friends at one point

Mike-True that, but the sh*t you and your girl pulled we don't know what you're willing to do to get next to Mercedes

Puck- enough of the talking like I said just stay away from Mercedes right now, understand?

Chord- understood

Puck- good,see you around

Chord walked away with his head hanging low, Puck called out to him

Puck- Chord?!

Chord-Yeah?

Puck- Maybe after all this drama over we can learn do forgive and forget and grabbed a beer or something you,Mike and I just like old times but for now stay away from her

Chord- of course man

Meanwhile Mercedes decided to call Mikes phone but it went straight to voicemail then she called Puck and he answered on the Second ring

Mercedes- Noah

Puck- eww Mercedes please don't call me that

Mercedes- I'm sorry Puck have you seen Tina and Santana

Puck-No but I just ran into your Ex Mercedes please tell me you didn't call him

Mercedes- puck I don't even wanna talk about it but Tina and Santana walked out on me and I haven't seen or talked to them all day

Puck- they will come around, you guys can't stay mad at each other for long

Mercedes- I don't know Puck I've been a real psychotic bi*ch lately I need to go out

Puck- I heard there's this bar that's having Karaoke tonight, we can hang there, you Mike and I we haven't sung in a while maybe that would clear your had like it did in high school

Mercedes- I'm down, come pick me up tonight, I pray Tina and Santana come around

Puck- they will baby, see you tonight ok

Mercedes- ok Puck

Later on that evening Puck and Mike picked Mercedes up to her Surprise a lot of USC students were at the bar, she thought Damn do everybody have fake Ids in college, she was not surprise to see Tina and Santana both sitting at a table eyeing her still cleary upset and Chord sitting in the corner drinking a beer looking like he lost a puppy or his favorite toy he made eye contact with her and stood up like he was getting ready to walk towards her, Mike gave him that don't you dare look and he sat back down

Mercedes sat at the table with Puck and Mike all night avoiding eye contact with Tina,Santana and Chord while sipping on cherry coke she was not in the mood to drink, or even be out really she just asked Puck to take her out before she went even more crazy at home, she had to sit through most of the night feeling eyes on her from her ex and best friends while also listening to the horrible screeching and singing on stage, she knew she could out sing mostly everybody in there with the exception of Santana but didn't want to get up and sing without her best girls on her side

Mike- Cedes you need to get up there and put these poor people to Shame

Mercedes- Bro, I'm not in the mood plus I don't know what to sing

Mike- Sing anything on your mind Cedes you and I both know you have a long list of things on your mind right now, go ahead before someone else get up there and make our ears bleed

Puck-Yea sexy momma go head

Mercedes looked over at Chord and a song popped in her head one of her favorite songs by Ciara So Hard because of the lyrics it self, she stood up and walked to the stage whispering something to the dj then grabbed the Microphone,

The beat starting playing she closed her eyes and started feeling it, thinking about Sam and everything Chord put her through this song was not only dedicated to the Love of her life Sam but her Ex Chord who she thought would be her forever she started singing swaying to the beat with her eyes still closed tight

So Hard

Oooooooo

He made it so hard

To trust someone

He made it so hard

To fall in love

Not tryna mess up this relationship ( Santana,Tina) (thinking)

She opened her eyes to see Tina and Santana on the side of her singing back up she was so lost in the beat that she didn't hear them come on stage she smiled to her self then closed her eyes again

Cause the last man did me that way You gon' do the same things I Don't wanna be this way But I'm hoping you can change the way that I feel

You see (Santana and Tina, oooo)

I trusted him with everything

Never held back anything

Thought we be together for the rest of our lives

So suddenly he took his love away

And made it hard to trust again

(pre-chorus) (Mercedes,Tina and Santana singing pre-chorus)

I know I been holding back

But he really hurt me bad

I don't wanna take my past and put it all on u

I'm not tryna hold you back

Really hope you understand

I don't know what I'm gonna do

(Chorus) (Mercedes,Tina and Santana)

When I think of what he did to me

It makes me hard to fall in love

When I think about just what I need

It makes it hard to trust someone

Baby I gotta let go

Don't wanna miss out on love this time

Gotta leave those things behind

Whatever's yours, you call it ours

Send flowers with love you keep me showered

And so did my ex-man at first

You see what started out so simple

All flew out the window

There I go comparing you to him again (she opened her eyes and pointed to Chord)

Its keeps holding me down (Santana and Tina, I gotta let it go)

I wanna give love a chance (Santana and Tina, Cause you may never know)

Baby you could be the one for me

Yes the only one for me

And I don't wanna lose a good thing no

(pre-chorus)

(chorus)

one disappointment, one heartbreak

too many mistakes in love I made

I can't come with all this baggage

Thinking he's gon' have it

See I know I'm selfish

But I gotta let it go

Close that chapter close that book (she stared at Chord with tears in her eyes)

Faith and love is all it ever took

That's why I never gave up

And I never gave in

Cause I know true love is waiting on me again

(pre-chorus)

(chorus) (Mercedes,Tina,Santana)

He made it so hard to trust someone

he made it so hard to fall in love

ooooooooo

Every jumped up out there seat applauding her she looked around and noticed that Puck, and Mike were taping the whole performance, she looked into Chord green eyes they were red like he had been crying he put his drink down and walked out the bar Mike went to chase after him while pulling Puck with him, Puck waved him off and looked back to Mercedes still applauding, Mike smack him in the back of the head and made him go with him to check on Chord

Mercedes ran off stage in a hurry and to the restroom, while Santana and Tina followed behind her she closed and locked the door behind them and rested against the wall silently crying

Santana- I'm still mad at your ass, but I'm still here for you I swear if you yell, curse me or pull any of your crazy acts on Tina and I we're done, we're walking out and don't you dare come chase after us or blow our phones up trying to apologize, you will have to handle your own sh*t, now talks to me why did you run off stage?

The lyrics to that song was so true and it hit her like a ton of bricks

Mercedes-The lyrics I just sung was so true I love Sam so much but maybe I was still holding on the Chord, like the lyrics say, he has made it hard to Love Sam with my full heart until that incident happened, you know how they say you don't know what you're missing till its gone? Well that was the case with me I thought I loved Sam with my whole hurt until Chord brought his ass to California,… after Sam left me and I literally had a nervous break down that made me Love and appreciate Sam even more , even though we've been going through some crazy sh*t my Love for him grow more and more that's why I've been going crazy amongst what else is going on with me, I see Sam in my future, the song says "close that chapter close that book" Chord is that chapter that I need to close, maybe in the future we can be friends but I'm done reading that chapter for now, I know he came all the way out here for me but maybe I'm that chapter that he needs to close in his life as well and he knows that, that's why he stormed out when the song was over

Tina- Talk to him Mercedes before he leaves town that's the least you can do, after that is done start thinking about what you're going to do about you and Sam

Mercedes- Ok I would talk to Chord, I decided to go visit my parents after that I would try to work it out with Sam, if we can't fix what's broken with us then maybe I need to close the chapter on both of the green eyed, pretty boys, I love Sam but if he don't want to fix it, then its nothing more I can do

Santana-Trust me Mercedes that boy would try to keep you in his life anyway he can literally (thinking back to her and Sam's talk and finding out that he wanted Mercedes Pregnant, because he knew that she would guaranteed be in his life if a baby was involved, that was a bit*h move she thought but Sam was to damn crazy to realize that's something a crazy, gold-digging tramp would do)

After Cedes was done having her talk with Tina and Santana she went to look for Chord she noticed Mike and Puck walking back into the bar without Chord and stopped them

Mercedes-Where's Chord?

Puck-Why?

Mercedes-I need to talk to him

Puck-for what?

Mercedes-I need too…you know what forget what I need to talk to him for, just tell me where the hell he is Puck damn and stop with all the questions

Puck-Fine he's outside

Before she could walk out Mike grabbed her arm be careful Cedes, we don't want a repeat of what happened at the Mall

Mercedes-of course what you think I'm crazy?,

Mike-Ummmm…

Mercedes-don't answer that, but I will be careful just going to have a innocent conversation that's all

Mike-ok if you say so

Mercedes-whatever Mike

Mercedes walked out to see Chord leaning against the wall with his head down

Mercedes-Chord?

Chord-Hey Mercedes, sorry I stormed out, you were amazing up there

Mercedes-Thanks, I just want to see where we stand, I know I shouldn't have…

Chord cutting her off before she could finish

Chord- I know you shouldn't have called me, but I was the one that decided to come out here I know that song was partially about Sam and I, look we don't have to have a long drawn out conversation about where we stand, I will go my way and you go yours just know if you need me I'm always there ok, you can close my chapter out your life for now but, just think of me as that chapter you finished but sooner or later you go back to that book and reread that chapter again, I'm always here Mercedes even if we're not in each other life anymore I'm always a phone call away, erase my number out your phone, sh*t even block it if you want, but just don't forget about me, I'm sorry for everything that I have ever did from the bottom of my heart, just remember that I did love you at one point with my whole heart, I know I just said this but don't forget about Cedes

Mercedes didn't realized she was crying this was all she needed from him after everything he put her through and she finally got it

Mercedes-Chord don't be silly I would never forget you, who can forget their first Love, it's funny that we're standing here having this conversation, I never thought we would be in this place I have always thought that we would be together until we're old and wrinkled, I thought I would be you're wife in the future wobbling around carrying your green eyed babies, the kids and I watching you play on screen in the NFL with your dream football team, while I hold the fort down taking care of home while you're away and I'm bringing in us even more money with my fabulous clothing line or with my successful music career, boy ole boy, how things don't work out how you plan them, you were my best friend Chord, never thought you and I would be here talking about not being in each other life and moving on with someone else, I might be done with your chapter now but I will have that purple book mark saving that chapter so I could always come back to it, I'm going to call that chapter sexy Chord's chapter (laughing)

Chord-I like the sound of that (laughing) you are so lame though (laughing)

Mercedes-(laughing) I know

Chord-I'm going to stay at the dorms with Puck and Mike tonight probably hang with them tomorrow then have one of them drive me to the airport that next day

Mercedes-wow you guys are back friends again?

Chord-we're getting there (opening his arms for a hug)

Mercedes embraced his hug he grabbed her tight pressing her against his hard masculine body

Chord-see you around kiddo, at least when you're ready to reread that chapter (smiling) since I'm back in Puck's and Mike's life I promise you I will stay away, until you ready ok

Mercedes- Ok

After that she watched him walk away to find Mike and Puck

Mercedes thought to herself "wow that was easier then I thought was I wrong for forgiving him that easy? Its was time I let that grudge go anyway it's not healthy maybe I can get my life back normal again this the most sane that I have been in a while, Maybe Chord was one of the main reasons for my craziness in the first place"

She made up with Tina and Santana, her next step was going to visit her parents and seek out Sam before she turns into psycho Mercedes again and push everyone away once again, her hormones were under control now, but there's no telling how they will be tomorrow

Meanwhile Sam had finally made it to Tennessee after driving forever he got a video message from Puck and Mike on his way, amongst other text messages telling him to be careful and they have to have bros night out when he gets back, he didn't bother to even look at the video messages he didn't have time for their freaky or obnoxious videos they found online, he wasn't in the mood, he let out a huge breath that he didn't realize he was holding in, he instantly felt a little more relaxed, he missed home in the south so much there's nothing like that country feel or smell

He stopped in a gas station to get gas on his way home and to his luck he ran into Amber as he was walking into the gas station

Amber- Omg hey Sam, what are you doing here? ( she reached out to hug him) she was shocked when he returned the hug, it was weak but at least he hugged her

Sam- Hey Amber

Amber-you're back home?

Sam- just temporary, I needed to be home with my family for a while too much drama back home in California

Amber was shocked that Sam considered California home as much as he loved Tennessee, then she remembered him telling her after she broke his heart that Tennessee didn't feel like home to him anymore, because it reminded him too much of her and the guy she left him for (Chord)

Amber- about the drama, I'm sorry for what I…

Sam-Amber stop I don't want to talk about that anymore its over and done with leave it alone every time someone mention anything about the drama Mercedes and I are going through I want to punch something preferably your boyfriend, where is he anyway? you two are always together

Amber instantly started acting weird she knew Chord flew to Cali to see and help Mercedes and she was cool with it she promised to not say anything, she actually liked Mercedes now and didn't want to start anymore drama with her blabber mouth she cut Sam off and looked at her invisible watch on her wrist

Amber-Sorry Sam I'm late I can't talk to you right now, see you around, bye

She jumped in her car and sped off almost burning rubber

Sam-what the f*ck was that, she didn't even have a damn watch on whew I shouldn't be surprised I've been dealing with a lot of weird sh*t lately

Sam pumped his gas and made it to his parents house

He walked through the door with his key and almost scared his mom out her skin

- Omg Sam! Baby what are you doing here ?

The twins Stacy and stevie came running hugging at his legs

Twins-Sammy! You're home to play with us!

He laughed and thought that's all they think about

-Honey is something going on you never just pop up like this without notifying us first, you wanna talk about whatever is going on with you, you look stressed

Sam- Yea mom I've been going through it can I shower first

- Sure honey, I'm going to cook up a quick meal, you're dad should be home from work soon,

Sam-Ok Mom

I was attempting to finish the story tonight but I got super sleepy, I don't want this story to keep dragging and dragging with no ending or solution, I promise the story would be finish very soon or as early as the beginning of the week if I don't have to work crazy hrs :-)

That's good Chord and Mercedes made up did she forgive him too soon? hopefully he don't backstab her and do some more spiteful sh*t, him or his Amber, because they can't be trusted, or maybe they truly are sorry for what they did who knows!… Mercedes is sane for once lets see how long this last, she got one foot free and one on a banana peel she so close to sliding on that banana peel and sliding her as* right into that looney bin,.. and Lets see if angry Sam will get his act together in Tennessee, and please don't let Amber choke and open her big mouth and let Sam know that Chord caught the first thing smoking to run to his Ex A.K.A Sam's girl rescue and what will Sam say when and if he finds out his best buds are back hanging with their old best friend Chord Puck being tuff and talking all that mess to Chord about friendship now he's spending the night with him and Mike in their dorms and planning a day to hang, what would Sam say about this, and how would he react when he finds out Mercedes forgave Chord hopefully he's not angry Sam anymore when he do find out

Sorry for the short chapter ;-)

End of this crazy story coming soon :-)
