AN: An angsty drabble that takes place in the beginning of season 2. I was inspired by the song 'Unbreak My Heart' by Toni Braxton. There are no pairings, per se. Remember, first review gets a drabble of their choice to commemorate my fiftieth drabble.

Drabble 49

Rumors ran rampant through Glee. Mercedes had pretty much stopped talking altogether, she barely sang, her eyes were lifeless, and even her love of fashion had seemed to dim. Even Rachel was worried. She thrived on competition, and Mercedes was the only one who offered a challenge besides Kurt. She confided in Finn, who had become good friends with Mercedes, due largely to the fact that she was the only reason he was passing Algebra.

Finn had watched Mercedes make her way to the auditorium during lunch one day, and he followed her covertly. The r&b diva made her way to the stage, where she sat down at the piano and began to play a sad melody. Finn looked confused; he didn't know Mercedes could play the piano. His eyes widened as she began to sing.

Don't leave me in all this pain

Don't leave me out in the rain

Come back and bring my smile

Come and chase my tears away

I need your arms to hold me now

These nights are so unkind

Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Mercedes sang with a slightly choked voice, and Finn could see tears glimmer in her eyes. He could see the emotion all but ripping its way through her body, and he felt his heart ache in sympathy.

Unbreak my heart

Say you'll love me again

Undo this hurt you caused

When you walked out the door

And walked out of my life

Uncry these tears

That I cried so many nights

Unbreak my heart

My heart

Finn could see tears begin to course down her face. He watched her compose herself slightly before continuing to sing.

Take back that sad word goodbye

Bring back the joy to my life

Don't leave me here with these tears

Come and kiss this pain away

I can't forget the day you left

Time is so unkind

And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Mercedes broke down then, burying her face in her hands and shaking with sobs. Through her crying, Finn could make out her anguished whispers.

"Matt. Please come back."

Finn quietly tiptoed from the auditorium. When Rachel asked him about Mercedes, Finn merely shook his head, and told Rachel not to bother her.
