I am so sorry this took so long, I really didn't know where to go. I love your reviews so much so thank you for that. For the guest who wrote a piece that long in a review, thank you especially. It is based on someone's life, mine, and this helps me put everything in perspective. I need to tell you that the last few chapters were my creations and not based on the story, just the beginning. Thanks anyway!
I do not own Glee, just the storyline.
Sorry for any mistakes, perfection is overrated.
Enjoy my loves and please review.
When Sam arrives back at the table he stares daggers at Quinn who is oblivious to his nonverbal threats. He knows he can't confront her with the bombshell that Mercedes told him, because he knows Mercedes would never forgive him and he is finally on good terms again.
Mercedes is eerily quiet and he notices that she is moving her foot around on her plate. He just wants to hug her and tell her everything is going to be okay. He sighs and Quinn looks at him with a questioning look.
"What's up, bro?" She asks as she hugs Mercedes. Mercedes looks at him and shakes her head and he can see the fear in her eyes.
"Nothing, just tired I guess." He swallows his anger as he looks at Quinn and then at Mercedes. Her eyes filling with tears while she tries to come up with a good excuse to leave.
"I really need to go, Quinn, thank you all so much for a lovely evening." She gets up and walks to the front door as all eyes are on her until they can't see her anymore. Quinn walks after her as Mercedes puts on her jacket.
"Everything okay?" Mercedes sighs and looks at her best friend. She can't tell her about her and Sam and maybe she doesn't want to. She just broke a promise that she has kept for years and she feels awful.
"Yeah, I am just not feeling that well." She hugs Quinn who is smiling. "What?"
She chuckles at Mercedes's confused face. "Maybe you got what Sam has, you two get together secretly?" She nudges Mercedes' shoulder with her own, but her smile fades as she looks at her best friend. "Mercedes?"
"I really need to go." She opens the door and closes it behind her before Quinn can say anything else. In her car, she knows that she just lost her best friend and maybe even her love as well.
Back in the house, Quinn is livid. Did Mercedes just tell her in not so many words that she and Sam had done something together? She storms into the dining room as her parents were just clearing the table.
Sam is still sitting at that table and she slams both her hands on the other side of the table directly opposite Sam. "What the actual fuck Sam?" She shouts and her parents come out of the kitchen.
Sam, who has been developing a headache the past hour by grinding his teeth together, stands up as well towering over her petite figure. "What is your problem?"
She scuffs. "Ooh, my problem is that you're fucking my best friend and you don't even have the decency to ask me permission." She steps back when he finally looks her in the eyes.
Sam is not having her bullshit anymore. "I need to ask you permission to date Mercedes? What is wrong with you? Maybe I just like her and want to get to know her like that. There is nothing you can do about that. Why are you reacting this way?"
Quinn is stunned at the revelation of her brother. "Well, you can't!"
"That is not up to you. Don't you want me and Mercedes to be happy?" He sighs and lowers his head.
She furrows her brow at that. "Of course but not together. She fucking promised." She is frustrated and fed up with the two closest people in her life.
"Yeah, you made her promise and she feels awful for breaking that promise. Just talk to her and say that that promise is no longer valid." He tries but knows when he sees her face that it is in vain.
"So you fucked her? You actually fucked her you nasty son of a bitch." She wants to throw a glass at him, but he is faster and grabs it off the table.
"Could you stop saying fuck. I didn't fuck her nor would I ever, I would make love to her. Not that it is any of your concern but we have kissed, that is all." Getting more annoyed with the second with his sister he walks to the living room with Quinn on his tail.
"Okay, whatever. You want to make love to her don't make me laugh. You don't ever do that, you couldn't even do that with Rachel." She inhales sharply when he turns around quickly, knowing that she hit a nerve.
"How dare you bring her up? What happened between me and Rachel has nothing to do with this. I see a future with Mercedes and at the moment you are being a horrible friend… and a horrible sister. How can you not see that you are making our lives miserable with your stupid promise? You know Mercedes will do everything she can to honor that promise and that is exactly what you want." Her manic smile makes his blood boil.
"You know what I'll give you a promise, if you don't make the promise of Mercedes disappear I can promise you we are no longer family." He hears his mother gasp in the kitchen and he knows he is playing a dangerous game, but so is Quinn.
"Really?" That is all she says while putting her arms across her chest.
"Yes, so tell me what is it going to be?" He says as he tries to control his anger. He takes a few deep breaths and tries to read what she is thinking.
"I don't like being pushed around Sam and you know that. Either I can take the promise back and you two can be happy or… I don't and you will never get together?"
The thought of him and Mercedes not ever getting together makes his heart break as he looks at his little sister. How did he not see signs of her mental health deteriorating, her manipulative behavior is sickening to his stomach and he let her for so long? "So, what is it?"
She smiles again, but it doesn't reach her eyes. "No!" Is the only thing she says and he loses it.
"Really? Are you this selfish to actually not give me the only thing I have ever needed in my life, fine! You are dead to me. I don't ever want to see you again or speak to you. Don't even try to contact me, we are done you hear me?" With that he walks out the door to go back to his own home, feeling all the rage coursing through his body.
Quinn hears her mother cry and rolls her eyes. She knows he doesn't mean it, he just needs a few days to cool off and he will be back. Her brother is nothing without her.
Without him even realizing he parks his car in front of Mercedes' house. The house she has been living in alone for the better part of her life. Her parents have their own home on the other side of the country and she is an only child.
He grips the steering wheel tighter as he tries to get his thoughts in order. He just wants to be with her, even if it is just as friends.
With all the courage he can muster he exits the car and walks to her front door. He knocks twice and can hear her tiny feet running towards the door. She throws it open and jumps into him. He chuckles and envelops her in his arms.
"You are happy to see me." He smiles into her hair as she nuzzles his neck. She nods and buries her head further into the crook of his neck. He lifts her up and she puts her legs around his waist.
He walks into her house and closes the front door. Not even looking where he is going he walks to her bedroom and sits down on the bed as Mercedes is still wrapped around him.
"You wanna talk about it?" She shakes her head and he sighs, knowing they should. Instead of him pushing he lies back and she disentangles herself from him. He places her half on him as her head lands on his chest.
Her leg is in between his and her hand is rubbing his chest. Trying not to think of what they could be doing in this bed he rubs her back, making figure eights with his finger. She sighs contently and he kisses her forehead.
"We need to talk about it sometime." He tries again and she looks up at him. Her breath caresses his cheeks and he loses his train of thought. She licks her lips as her hand goes from his chest lower to his stomach.
He swallows audibly as he watches her tongue wet her big luscious lips. Her eyes grow darker while her hand goes even lower and stops on his growing problem. Her gaze never leaves him and she closes the gap between their mouths.
The kiss is sweet and chaste as he tries to control his every move. He groans when her hand leaves his manhood and she looks at him. She smiles and puts her head back down on his chest. "Tomorrow." She says half sleepy as her eyes grow heavy.
He sighs and knows to push her on the topic. He makes himself comfortable as he falls asleep with the only woman for him on this earth.
Sam wakes up to someone knocking on the door. He has Mercedes against him as they spoon and his erection is ever so present. He groans as the knocking continues and begrudgingly gets out of bed.
With an angry stare, he opens the door. "Hey, dude." Noah says as he passes Sam. Still sleepy and a lot confused Sam follows Noah into the kitchen.
"Uhm… hey I think." Without leaving Noah out of his sight he sits at the counter as Sam watches Noah making coffee.
"Is the misses up yet, I know she loves her coffee fresh." He whistles a tune as he makes himself at home.
"What exactly are you doing here Noah?" Sam rubs the back of his neck when Noah finally makes eye contact.
"I am here for Mercedes." He smiles and turns back around. Even more confused Sam gets up and gets into his personal space.
"I don't think you understand man that she doesn't need you anymore." At that Noah turns back as he just got the coffee pot going and smirks at Sam.
"Dude it's not like that." He laughs which gets Sam more irritated.
"What is not like that?" Noah steps back, trying to get a little space between them but Sam is not having it as he steps forward.
"Mercedes and I… we're just friends. The other day when you saw us it wasn't like that." Noah puts his hands in front of him as a peace gesture.
"Really? Do you always touch your friend's ass… or sleep with her in the same bed making her not sleep?" Feeling like this is a trap Noah tries it another way.
"She isn't into me like she is into you." With that, he doesn't win Sam over and he sighs, not knowing what to do or say to convince that Mercedes doesn't want anybody else but Sam.
"As long as you know that… dude." Sam says mockingly and Noah gets agitated at the tone Sam is using.
"What is your problem? Are you that insecure about yourself that you need to belittle me?" Noah stands tall and towers over Sam as he steps closer.
Sam tries not to be intimidated but fails miserably. "I don't have a problem and I am not insecure." The lack of confidence in his words makes Noah laughs and Sam snaps.
He lunges himself towards Noah who doesn't have to do much to get him on the ground. With one left hook and a kick on the side of his knee Sam is on the ground in pain as Noah stands above him.
"What the hell is going on?" Both guys look at the sleepy woman in the doorway as she tries to comprehend what is happening between these two buffoons.
I hope it still makes sense. Please let me know what you think, your reviews give me life. PS. I am trying really hard to update faster, but I have major writer's block so I am sorry.
Thanks for reading and stay safe!
