Sam moved closer to her and moved his hand to her face. The sadness in her eyes crushed him. "I was right." He whispered. "You are my angel."
He felt drawn to her, in that moment there was no Quinn no accident just her, the beautiful woman with the voice of an angel and sadness in her eyes. To Mercedes there was nothing but the man who made her heart race with just a look. Mercedes felt herself being drawn to him. Leaning into Sam she wanted to pull away but she couldn't. Grabbing her face with his other hand Sam pulled her closer. Their lips touched and fire shot through each of them. A force neither had ever felt or could control made Mercedes shutter and Sam moan.
Mercedes paced the floor wondering what she was going to do. Sam kissed her and she kissed him back. She shivered thinking about the way his lips caressed hers. After she pulled away they stared at each other in silence before Kurt came in and took him for more tests. Mercedes bit her bottom lip and sighed. She needed to leave, and get away from Sam, she needed to think. There was no way she was falling for Sam.
Yes, she spent a lot of time with him in the last few weeks and yes she felt responsible for him while his parents were gone. But there was no way she was falling for him. She touched her lip thinking over the butterflies that shot through her. She hadn't felt that way in a kiss since Finn. Wasn't she betraying Finn by thinking about him and Sam?
She continued to pace trying to get her legs to move out of the room before Sam returned. As she turned to the door Kurt rolled Sam in and she knew she was in trouble. Kurt smiled widely as he talked to Sam about shoes. She smiled sweetly hoping that Sam wouldn't bring it up when they were alone. Kurt locked Sam's bed into place and looked at Mercedes.
"Mercy Me are you staying here tonight?"
Mercedes was about to speak when Sam spoke up. "Yes, she has been really been a really big help, I know she didn't have to stay here with me and it means a lot that she did. She is a pretty amazing person."
Sam smiled to her and Mercedes went weak in the knees. She turned away from him trying to avoid his gaze. She nodded. "Sam I am going to talk to Kurt for a minute and then I will be back."
Sam nodded. "Ok I should call my parents see where they are."
Mercedes handed him the cellphone and walked out the room. Kurt smiled brightly. "Mercy me he is a treat. Funny and cute. Well not cute that man is sexy. He is sweet too, and I think he has a little crush on you. He was asking all about you."
"We kissed."
Kurt's face dropped as he looked at her. "Who kissed?"
Mercedes looked into Sam's room. "Sam and I."
Kurt pulled her to the on call room and shut the door. "Mercedes are you serious? He is a patient and engaged and just woke up from a coma and you are in there making out with him? Who are you Santana?"
Mercedes put her hands in her head. "Kurt I didn't do it on purpose. I had told him about Quinn leaving him and then he was so sad I sang for him, and afterwards he looked at me and I swear he was looking at my soul. I think we both just kissed each other and I have no idea what to say to him."
Kurt stared at her for a little while."
"Oh my God you liked it."
"What?"
"You kissed him and you enjoyed it."
Mercedes walked away from Kurt. "He is a patient and it was a mistake. I did not."
"You did too. I see it in your face."
Mercedes felt tears come to her eyes. "I think I got too emotionally invested in Sam, I looked at him and I think I saw Finn, someone who needed me because someone hurt him. Kissing him was different Kurt. I mean yeah I hooked up with Mike, but I kept kissing him and dating him because he couldn't make me feel how Finn did."
"And how did Finn make you feel that Mike couldn't?"
"Just looking at him or talking to him on the phone, gave me butterflies in my stomach, when we kissed, it was like was like two magnets being pulled together. He made me feel loved and wanted."
Kurt looked at her face and knew what she wasn't saying. "You felt that when you kissed Sam, didn't you?"
Mercedes nodded wiping her eyes. "Uh huh. My body is betraying Finn and I feel horrible."
Mercedes sat on the bed and sighed. "I barely know Sam and I shouldn't have kissed him. I need to go in there and tell him that. Tell him that I will have someone else sit with him."
Before Kurt could respond he walked out the room and towards Sam's room. Kurt was on her tail the whole way. As they walked to his door Santana walked out of the room.
"Hey I was wondering where you guys were, Sam said you needed to talk to each other."
Mercedes nodded walking into the room and sighing when she saw Sam was sleep.
"He fell asleep?"
"Dr. Chang ordered him some antibiotics and pain killers before he goes back into surgery in the morning. I think the Morphine knocks him out."
"Wait back?"
"The swelling around his spinal cord has gone down which allowed them to see a piece of bone pushing on his nerves. They feel by removing it, they may increase his chances of walking. Sam agreed and they are prepping him for Surgery in the morning."
Mercedes nodded. She knew any chance Sam had to live a normal life he should take. Santana continued.
"He wanted to wait to talk it over with you but I assured him you would agree with what the doctor suggested. I told him he could discuss it with you but this was his best chance."
"You are right I would have. I will reassure him once he wakes up."
Santana glanced at her two best friends. "So what was so important you had to leave your favorite patient for?"
She looked from Mercedes to Kurt and smiled seeing the look on Kurt's face. "Oh my God you kissed Sam."
Mercedes shoved her into Sam's room and closed the door. "Ok how the hell did you know that?"
"I just guessed but wow, how did you kiss him when?"
Kurt squealed. "Today and she said she felt something for him."
Santana shook her head. "I knew you were spending too much time with him. You need to transfer off his service and stop sitting around here."
"I know I should…but I can't. And it's not just because I promised his family, it's because I really think he needs me. The kissing will never happen again. It was a mistake and when he gets out of surgery I will explain that to him and I am sure everything will be ok."
"Why not before surgery?" Kurt asked and Santana scoffed.
"Kurt you don't break a guy before he goes into surgery. You give him hope that way he has a better survival rate. Then after surgery, you break it down for him." She turned towards Mercedes. "You are doing the right thing, just be careful I don't want to see you hurt."
Before Mercedes could speak, a voice came over Kurt's phone radio, telling him he was needed on the fifth floor. He waved goodbye to the girls as Santana went to finish giving meds to her patients. Mercedes sat in the chair across from Sam and sighed watching him sleep. She would tell him that nothing could ever come from that kiss. That what they shared was a onetime thing.
Mercedes smiled walking down the hall hand in hand with Finn. The day started off the way it always did. Finn walked her to class, kissed her cheek and said he would see her later. But before he could walk to his class they both heard a scream followed by two shots. They turned to see a bunch of students just running. Finn pulled her towards the library as kids ran into different rooms locking the door. Relieved to see Kurt and Santana already in there, they huddled close together as Finn and another student tried to barricade the door.
Using the book shelf to block the entrance they all moved to the back of the library. Mercedes heart broke seeing the looks on the kids' faces. There were about 15 kids in that library and all of them but one looked lost and distraught. Jacob stared at her as Finn, Kurt and Santana surrounded her. He looked angry and she couldn't shake the feeling something bad was about to happen.
She turned towards Finn to talk to him when she heard a gun click. She knew it was aimed at her without even turning. It was the way Finn's body stiffened, the way he pulled her closer. She turned to see Jacob aiming his gun at her.
Finn placed his arms around Mercedes never taking his eyes off of Jacob.
"Jacob what are you doing?"
"For five years I have watched you Mercedes. I watched you smile at me, stop the bullies from torturing me. You hugged me. I loved you and yet you started to ignore me for him?"
Mercedes stood despite Finn trying to pull her back. "Jacob you need to stop this."
"You love me I know you do. The talent show in the 8th grade showed me that. You came off the stage and started singing right to me. Saying you were dangerously in love with me. I knew then I could have you."
Mercedes' eyes widened as she thought about that day. Kurt told her if she wanted to win she would have to get off the stage and flirt with the audience through song. She sang to Jacob and a few others. She looked over to a huddled Kurt and Santana. She felt a few tears come to her eyes.
"Jacob that was just a performance. I never meant to lead you on."
"You don't mean that."
"I do. I am sorry Jacob. But this isn't you. Can you really do this? Kill people?"
Jacob stood meeting her gaze. Her body shivered as she saw the cold dead look in his eyes.
"Karofsky, Azimo, Rick the dick. I shot them, and now I will shoot you unless you come with me."
"You can't do this? Threaten me just to scare me into being with you."
Jacob moved closer to her as the other students had made their way to the door.
"Mercedes you have two choices. Be mines, or die. Simple. I want you I have always wanted you and I met you first."
Mercedes felt tears come to her eyes. As she saw that she, Finn, Kurt, Santana and Jacob were the only ones in the Library now. "Jacob I love Finn, I can't be with you."
"That's unfortunate." Jacob fired the gun and shot her in the arm. Mercedes screamed as he fired again but realized Finn covered her and was hit. She stared at him as he leaned and kissed her one last time telling her he loved her. Jacob moved closer to her aiming at her head when Finn jumped up and attacked Jacob. Two shots rang out as they both fell to the ground. Mercedes turned Finn over to see a gunshot wound in his chest. She screamed begging him to wake up. He own wound forgotten she screamed for an ambulance as she covered his wound with his letterman jacket trying to stop the bleeding.
Santana was consoling Kurt while dialing 911. Mercedes laid her head on Finn's chest praying that he would be ok. As they heard a commotion in the room Mercedes watched as she was pulled from Finn. They tried to save him but there was just too much blood and too much time passed by.
Mercedes awoke with tears streaming down her face. She looked up to notice Sam was staring at her with a concerned look on his face. He had tissues in his hand waiting to give it to her. She accepted them sighing as she wiped her eyes. Sam cleared his throat. "Are you ok?"
Mercedes nodded.
Sam sighed. "You were having a pretty real nightmare. It woke me up. You were screaming no and begged for help."
Mercedes looked down to the ground as Sam sighed. "You know I am not just a wounded hot guy I am a pretty great listener. Who is Finn?"
