Thank you for your patience. My CPU broke down and I had to send it out then I lost my muse. But here is Chapter two so I hope you enjoy. I don;t own glee or its characters.

Someone knocked on her door and looked up wiping her eyes in shock.

"Wh-what are you doing here? How did you find me?"

Brad crossed his arms over his chest. "I tracked you by your car. Get dressed we are leaving."

Mercedes slowly shook her head no. "I can't, they want to keep me over night, and you hurt me really bad this time Brad. Please just… can you just go?"

Brad moved closer to her. "You hurt yourself! I should smack the hell out of you! Going to the hospital Merce? Really? What did you tell them?"

The loudness of his voice scared her. She bit her lip trying to control her fears. "That I fell."

"Oh you fell alright and I swear to God its gonna happen again. You don't listen! I told you to have dinner ready not check yourself into the hospital. The only reason I am not kicking your ass right now, is because you were smart enough not to use your real name. I bet you thought I forgot about Jordyn Grace? As impressed as I am that you aren't as dumb as I thought you were you are high if you really think I am gonna let you leave me and make a full of me? Of my family?"

Mercedes shook her head. "Brad I am not going home with you."

Brad saw red as she denied him. He grabbed her by her arm and yanked her out of the bed causing her IV to come out of her arm. He threw her towards the door.

"Get your shit and let's go!"

Mercedes felt pain shoot through her as she hit the floor. Brad stood over her and punched her in the side. He got on top of her deciding it was time for him to show his wife who exactly he was. His hand went around her neck as he held her down. Tears fell from her eyes as she shut her eyes tightly bracing herself. Suddenly Brad felt weightless. She heard a loud grunt but was afraid to open her eyes. Feet raced into the room and some grabbed Mercedes. She yelp out of fear but opened her eyes to see one of the nurse reaching out for her. Mercedes held onto the nurse as she heard more people ran into the room. Yelling and shuffling were becoming distant as Mercedes felt her loosing consciousness.

Mercedes awoke with a pounding headache. She forgot where she was for a moment. She saw someone in the shadows in room and immediately felt scared. She tried to sit up but Sam came out the shadows. "Mercedes you shouldn't move so fast."

Mercedes laid back on the bed. "Where is Brad?"

"He won't be back in here. I can't believe that man." His voice trailed off and Mercedes could see the anger in his eyes. She sighed as he moved closer to her.

"Are you ok?"

"I'll be fine… Sam what are you doing here?"

Sam walked towards her bed and sat next to her. "Santana had Mike call me. She was worried about you. Mike was too but he has that Merger and you know Santana got detained with work and she won't be here for a few days. He gave me your alias and told me that he needed to stay with you until Santana got here, I walked in and saw him on top of you and I don't know I just lost it."

"Thanks for being here."

"Mercedes what happened? I thought you came here alone, that's what Mike said."

Mercedes bit her bottom lip wincing. "Brad came home early. He found me packing and let's just say he wasn't happy about it. He left and told me to unpack but I was in so much pain I just drove myself here. They told me that I lost the baby, that I had some bruised ribs. The next thing I know he is in here pulling me off the bed and attacking me. That about sums it up." She wiped the fallen tears.

Sam took her hand. "You needed to get a restraining order. This could have been worse."

Mercedes shook her head. "I can't."

Sam ran his hands threw his hair. "Well why the hell not? That man attacked you in this hospital. There are witnesses."

Mercedes shook her head. "it's never gonna be over I am gonna have to live this nightmare for the rest of my life. He will make bail and he will kill me unless I go to him promise to never press charges and stay."

"What happened to the woman in my office last week?"

"She just got the shit beat out of her twice! I can't leave he is just gonna find me."

Sam took her hand in his. "Do you want out?"

Mercedes stared at him. "Yes, I want out. But-"

Sam stopped her from talking. "No buts if you want out. Press Charges against him, let me draw up a restraining order."

"And go where? As I just found out, he can find me anywhere I go."

Sam shook his head. "Not anywhere. Come with me."

"With you where?"

"Come stay with me."

Mercedes shook her head. "I don't even know you."

Sam smiled slightly. "Ok then, my name is Sam Evans. I am 30 years old and have been practicing Law for five years. We just started our firm two years ago but we seem to be doing well for ourselves. I have never, ever put my hands on a woman. I am single. I had a girlfriend I had dated for a year and a half but we separated deciding that we were better off as friends. I am a slob, I don't know how to cook and I am a total dork. I am talking dressing up a comic con type of dork. I have a hero complex and for some reason I feel the need to protect you. So there I have told you the basics. Anything else you want to know just ask. I want to help you please let me."

Mercedes sighed. "You are crazy you know that?"

"So I have been told. Tell me about you and we can get this show on the road."

Mercedes smiled slightly but winced at the pain from her lip and cheek. "Well I am not sure there is much more to tell then you already know."

"I know about your situation, I want to know about you."

Mercedes closed her eyes. "I honestly don't know anymore. I used to love to sing and write. I used to be inspired and now I am a shell."

"Where is she? He said she was here!"

Mercedes heart sank as she heard her mother's voice. "Oh God. No Please don't let her in."

Before Sam could question it the doors burst opened. "Mercedes Jones I swear to God I was worried to death. Brad calls us saying you are in the hospital and they think he hurt you. You need to drop the charges."

Mercedes rolled her eyes. "I am fine mom, I only have a few bruised ribs, and I lost your grandchild."

Maryanne Jones glanced at Mercedes then finally noticed Sam. "And who is this?"

Sam stood. "I am her attorney. Your daughter was hurt pretty badly. We are getting a restraining order and pressing charges."

Maryanne nodded. "So you represent Brad too?"

"No mom. He is my lawyer. My lawyer who helped me file for divorce and who stopped Brad from trying to kill me. Your precious son in law put me in here."

Maryanne moved closer to Mercedes. "You need to stop making him mad. And the hospital? Really? You are such a drama queen. Now get dressed. I am taking you to the police station and you are gonna tell them this was a mistake."

"Have you heard anything I had to say? Mom he hurt me, killed my baby and tried to kill me. I have to stay here over night to make sure I don't have any other damage."

"It's a little bruise get over it. Come to the station he can't stay there all night."

"He can rot in there, mother!"

"That is your husband."

"Not for long. Now if you will excuse me I am tired, in pain and I don't want to see you right now."

Maryanne looked at her in disgust. "I will be back in the morning, see if your father and Nathans can get him out right now/ You need to decide where your loyalties lie. You have nothing and no one."

She cut her eyes at Sam then turned towards the door. Sam cleared his throat. "You are wrong. She had people who will help her. You are supposed to be her mother. Suppose to protect her. She deserves better than you."

Maryanne walked out the room shutting the door and Sam looked over to a crying Mercedes. He got into the bed with her and held her. It was the only thing he could do. "She was wrong. You have people who care and as soon as you get released, we are getting the rest of your stuff and you will stay with me until we can figure out your next step. I am going to make sure he never puts his hands on you again. I swear.
