I know what you're going to say: What about the other story's? I am working on them but I kinda have exam week with zero motivation so I'm sorry I took this long.

So this is a new one and I am secretly in love with it already. This is a very different story than I am used to so bare with me. I hope you guys like it.

Sorry for any errors, perfection is overrated.

I do not own Glee.

Enjoy my loves and please review.


"Please stop." The girl screams in the alley and the guy punches her again. He shoves her against the wall and she whimpers as her tears fall over her cheeks. The guys hands go from her back to her front cupping her breasts. "You are going to be mine like you promised." He whispers in her ear.

She tries to break free from his grasp to no avail. She cries out as one of his hands slip into her panties. He stills when he hears a voice. He turns around with one hand on her back, keeping her in place. "Who the fuck are you?" He asks the figure that he couldn't quite see.

The figure steps closer and into the dim light of the alley. She is wearing all black and looks at the guy with fiery golden, red eyes. "I am not saying it again." She says fiercely and the guy smirks, pulling a gun out and pointing it at her. He swallows when he sees the anger in her face and his hand begins to shake a little.

She puts her hand up and he fires his gun. She dodges it with high speed and looks at the wall behind her where the bullet went. She looks back at the guy now more pissed and he lets go of the girl. She doesn't hesitate and runs out of the alley.

"See, I let her go…" He pleads with her and she steps closer, still angry. Her hand goes up again and he feels himself getting tossed against the wall, pinning him on it. She walks closer and she smiles and he can see her white teeth. He wrestles against the force who is pinning him down, but he is fighting a losing battle.

"Should I have mercy?" She asks him and cocks her head with a menacing smile on her face. She is so close that he can have a good look at her. Her curly hair is masking a part of her face, but he can see her dark skin and tight black curls. She has curves and is wearing a black jumpsuit. Her eyes are still a golden, red and are burning like the sun.

"Yes, please have mercy. I won't do it again I promise." He pleads with her just like the girl tried to do with him. He feels the force lowering him and he feels the ground beneath his feet. The woman in front of him is still not moving and he steps closer to her, wanting to reach out for no apparent reason.

She steps back and hisses at him. "Go." She says as she walks away and out of the alley. He smirks as she walks away, his eyes looking at her ass that is swaying from left to right.

"Damn girl I would tap that to scratch my itch." She stops and sighs. She turns around and looks at him, rolls her eyes and puts her hand back up. He feels the force pulling at him until he is face to face with her. His vision gets blurry and it is hard to breathe. His head is hurting while he struggles to keep his feet on the ground. Through teary eyes he sees her eyes, they are no longer like the sun but more like the darkness. As black as the night before he feels himself closing his eyes.

He slumps unto the floor and she lets him go. Stepping over him she shoves him into a corner, hearing that his heart is still beating. She sighs again and steps out of the alley.


"Hey Cedes wait up." Tina walks up to her best friend for four years now. They went to High School together and are now at the same college. They even share an apartment so they don't have to live in the dorm rooms.

"Hey T, what's up?" Mercedes asks while getting her books into her locker. She looks at her best friend and smiles. She and Tina are more like sisters and she knows Tina has been with Mike all weekend.

"I was just wondering how your weekend was?" Tina blushes and Mercedes chuckles.

"It was fine, I am sure I didn't have as much fun as you did." Tina's jaw drops at the revelation and Mercedes doubles over in laughter. Tina isn't the one to talk about her relationship with Mike. She is quite the prude. Tina is the exact opposite of Mercedes. Mercedes is bold and doesn't give a shit about what anybody thinks of her.

"Well… yes I had fun. But girl tonight we are still up for hanging out right?" She hooks her arm in Mercedes' and they walk to class together.

"Of course. So how is Mike? Is he treating you right or should I kick his ass?" Tina shoves her a little and they both laugh when they walk in. They have arranged seats so they separate. Mercedes sits down at the far end, alone. She doesn't have anyone sitting next to her and sometimes that is getting a little lonely.

"Class, if I may have your attention. Today we have a new student so treat him kindly. You may sit next to Miss Jones." At that Mercedes head shoots up and sees the new student. She cocks her head and studies him. He has sandy brown hair and piercing green eyes. He is tall and well built and his blue shirt is tight around his arms and torso. His jeans are hanging low on his hips and he is wearing all stars. He smiles at her and she frowns a little, taking her bag off the table next to her.

He sits down and extends a hand to her. "Hi, I am Sam." He says and she waves at him instead of shaking his hand, not wanting to make a physical connection. He blushes at her and focuses back on what the teacher is saying.

She glances at Tina who winks at her. She rolls her eyes and goes back to drawing in her notebook. She feels the stranger, Sam, is peeking over to her once in a while. When she looks up at him quizzically she hears his heartbeat accelerating and she can't hide her smile. It is normal for guys to do that around her, but it always feels like a big compliment nonetheless.

When she hears the bell ring she packs her bag and wants to leave. She waits until Sam is ready so she doesn't have to pass him and accidentally touch him. He stands up and easily towers over her. He puts his bag on his back and smiles at her. "I never caught your name." He rubs his neck nervously.

"That is because I never gave it." He steps back so she can pass and she is relieved she doesn't have to touch him in any way. He smirks at her remark and she can see his teeth in that smile. She smiles herself and walks out of the classroom.

"Nice to meet you Miss Jones." He yells after her and she chuckles. So he knows a part of my name.


She sits down with her lunch and looks at Tina and Mike trying to be a couple but not trying to be obvious about it. She rolls her eyes and chuckles at the two. How is that even possible? She can see they are holding hands under the table, she is not stupid.

"Guys, what are you doing? I know you are an item." Mike looks at her in shock and then looks at Tina who shakes her head.

"I know we just want to take it slow." She sips from her drink and smiles at Mike. Mercedes doesn't get it why they need to be so complicated about it.

"For who? Everybody in here? They don't give a shit and neither do I." She says and she hears Tina gasp. "Except when you hurt her pall, then I am coming after you." Tina laughs and Mercedes joins her when they see Mike's expression.

"Is this seat taken?" She looks up and sees two piercing green eyes focused on her. How did I not feel him close to me? She looks at Tina and Mike who both look from her to Sam.

"Sure not come sit. I am Tina and this is Mike." She points proudly at her kinda boyfriend while Mercedes closes her eyes and sighs. "And that diva over there is-"

"No one you need to know." She throws daggers at her friend with her look and Tina shrugs.

"Well, I would love to know how to call you." He says as he shifts in his seat. Their arms almost touching and she picks up her chair and moves it away. When she looks at his face she can see the disappointment in his eyes. She sighs.

"How about hot momma?" She feels an arm over her shoulders and gets annoyed immediately. Puck sits next to her with his arm still over her shoulder, slowly descending to her back. Tina's eyes widen at the sudden contact and Mercedes' eyes shine a little brighter. She looks at Tina who shakes her head.

God, I would love to tap that. To fuck her into next Sunday. She would probably still be a virgin. How I want to hear her scream my name over and over and—

She shoves her elbow into his ribs and he stops thinking. She just heard every disgusting thing he thinks and she gets sick to her stomach. "Puck, get your filthy hands off me." She breathes through clenched teeth.

Sam picks up on it and stands up. "You heard her, beat it." At that Puck's attention goes to the new guy and smirks. "Do you hear that guys? Hot momma needs protection." At that Mercedes looks back at Tina who shakes her head again and gives her a 'don't you dare' look and she sighs. Damn, being a college girl is hard.

"So what are you going to do about it white boy? I see there is one of you and four of us." He looks back at his palls and him and Sam are now toe to toe.

"Okay knock it off you two." Mercedes says not looking behind her as she can feel the testosterone rising in the room. How is it that guys are so weird when it comes to girls who aren't even with them. She rolls her eyes and drinks some water.

"I'll see you around hot momma." She winces as his thoughts go back to what he wants to do to her in his bed, against the wall and on the kitchen counter. She tries not to gag as Sam sits back down. She looks at him as he pops a fries into his mouth.

"Who the hell do you think you are?" She spits at him as she stands up. Tina stands up as well and tries with hand gestures to calm Mercedes down, but is completely failing. Sam looks up at her confused.

"I just didn't think he should talk to a woman like that." He also stands up and wants to caress her arm but she steps out of his reach.

"Don't you dare touch me. Stay away from me." She almost yells and she storms out of the room as the light flickers. Tina sighs and squeezes Mike's hand. "I'll be right back." She walks behind Mercedes.

"What was that all about?" Sam asks Mike while he sits back down. Mike shrugs and eats another tater tots from Tina's plate. He knows Mercedes doesn't like to be touched. He asked Tina about it and she says it is about her boundaries. Mike thinks it's a little weird, but other then that Mercedes is quite nice… okay and a little creepy sometimes.

"That is just Mercedes dude. She doesn't like to be touched." Sam looks confused at Mike but lets it go.

"I am Sam by the way. I just got transferred." He holds out his hand and Mike shakes his hand. "Cool man, maybe you are any good at football? We could use a guy like you. Just remember Puck is also on the team and Coach Beast doesn't like us fighting. Talking about team spirit and all."

"I was on the team back in Kentucky so maybe I'll try out. And I don't care about that punk. Wait he touched her…" He doesn't understand why he can't touch her but that dickhead can.

"Yeah I know. He wanted to date her once and grabbed her hand in the middle of the hallway. He was recovering at home for two weeks. She broke his arm because he touched her. So dude if she says don't touch her then please don't unless you want to lose a limb."

Sam's jaw drops at that piece of information. She broke his arm? "What happened?" He asks while he eats another fries.

"Uhm… okay you don't have this from me, but he held her hand and her eyes went kinda creepy. I don't know how to describe it, like really dark… almost black. And then she shoved him into the lockers and twisted his arm. I heard his arm pop and his scream was horrible. Tina grabbed her and pushed her out of the school. I don't know man, but she can be really scary. And it is even more scary when you know that Puck is the quarterback of the football team and Mercedes is about five feet tall. That girl got some strength in her." Mike exhales nervously thinking back about that incident. Tina never wants to talk about what happened and he doesn't know why.

Sam listens to Mike's story and he gets a cold sweat on the back of his neck. He shakes it off. "Damn, I didn't see that story coming. Consider me aware of her and I am definitely not touching her." He laughs nervously and Mike looks up at him smiling. He shakes his head as they finish their lunch in comfortable silence.


Mercedes runs into the bathroom and Tina follows quickly after. Tina can see the mirrors rattling of Mercedes' anger. "You know you should stop thinking that everybody is out to get you." Tina says while sitting down on one of the sinks. Mercedes walk from one side to the other trying to figure out what to say to the new guy. She knows she went too far with yelling at him and tries to reign in her powers. The mirrors stop moving when she takes a deep breath.

"I know Tina but sometimes these guys make me so angry and I can hear everything they think about me and that just irks me the wrong way." She sighs heavily and looks at her best friend.

"Just go back there and apologize to him, it's not that weird. I know it's tough for you to do that, but at least try. He is not a bad guy not every guy is Puck. Look at Mike, he's not at all a bad guy not even close." Tina says while smiling at the thought of Mike and her becoming closer last weekend. Mercedes smiles at her friend and knows she's right. She sighs again and nods her head. "I know you're right Tina. Damn I hate it when you're right. Okay let's go and please just hold his hand next time, nobody cares!" Tina rolls her eyes at her friend knowing that she is right.


They have class again and now they are with Mike and Sam. Tina is sitting next to Mike and Mercedes is sitting alone on her arranged seat. Sam is sitting next to her not glancing at her or giving her any attention. She's not used to guys not giving her any attention and she kind of feels… weird. She looks at him but knows she can't read his mind because they didn't touch.

She looks desperately at her best friend who is looking over her shoulder at Mercedes. She nods her head to try to make Mercedes have a conversation with Sam. Tina turns around and looks at Mike and whispers: "This is either going very good or very bad." At that they both look behind them at the two.

"So your name is Sam?" she starts whispering to him and trying to make small talk. She facepalms her self internally when she asks him. I mean it's kind of a stupid question now isn't it?

That is the first time he looks up at her and she gets a feeling in the pit of her stomach. She looks at his green eyes and feels a little confused. "Yes, my name is Sam." Is all he answers and looks back at his text book. She exhales slowly knowing that she needs to apologize but she's not good with apologies at all. She looks back at her notebook and starts drawing.

When she hears the bell ring Sam gets up and doesn't give her a second glance. Tina walks up to her and sighs. "So that went well, didn't it?" Mercedes rolls her eyes at her friend. She knows it didn't go well, she's not good with relationships or friendships. Tina is the only one who knows who she really is and is also her only family really. She doesn't have a lot of friends and she doesn't trust anybody, scared that they will find out and try to kill her or even worse experiment on her.

They walk together to the parking lot and see Mike and Sam talking. "They are becoming quite the friends." Tina says to Mercedes. "Why don't we hang out all together and get to know each other?" Mercedes give her a look.

"Maybe, but I don't think Sam really wants me around." She says and feels quite hurt. Her friend looks at her quizzically. "Well, let me just ask." Before Mercedes can ask her to stay Tina walks up to the two guys. "Hey how about we hang out tonight at breadsticks?" She asks the two and Mike smiles at her. "Sure babe and how about you Sam?" Sam looks from Tina to Mike back to Tina's. "Yeah sure why not."

At that Tina squeals and claps. "Yay okay, see you tonight." She kisses Mike on the cheek and walks back to Mercedes. "Dude you know they are a package deal right? You either get both of them or neither." Sam looks at him and it finally dawns on him. "Okay I didn't know, so Mercedes is coming as well?" Mike nods.

"Well shit." Sam says while he brushes a hand through his hair. He really wants to make friends at his new school and he really likes Mike and Tina seems okay, but he doesn't really want to hang out with Mercedes after everything that happened.

Mike sees the conflict on Sam's face. "Dude don't worry we're both there. Tina and I will just keep you company and if it's too much just go home I guess. It's going to be fine trust me Mercedes isn't that bad, she is just Mercedes. You'll be fine all right. I'll text you and I'll see you tonight." With that Mike goes into his car and drives away.

Sam looks at the two girls who also get into their car and drive off. He goes into his truck and drives home as well.


"So this is breadsticks?" Sam asks while looking around. "Yeah, it's great isn't it?" Mike answers as he sits in one of the booths.

Sam fiddles with his fingers and shifts a little. "Dude chill! It's going to be fine." The waitress comes up and they both order a beer. Sam sees the girls coming in and gives Mike a pleading look.

Mike gets up and so does Sam. Mike kisses Tina on the cheek and she goes into the booth. He waves at Mercedes and she goes in on the other side, giving a look to Sam smiling shyly. While entering the booth the guys both sit down and Mike sits very closely to Tina and intwines their fingers.

Mercedes looks at Sam when the waitress comes back. They order a coke for Mercedes and another beer for Tina. Sam sits almost on the edge of the booth, trying very hard not to touch Mercedes.

He also tries very hard not to stare at her when she isn't looking. Tina and Mike talk while Mercedes and Sam are awfully quiet. After a while Mercedes tries to have a chat with Sam.

"So Sam you transferred, where are you from?" She asks while playing with the straw in her coke. At the question he looks at Mike who pleads with his eyes to be kind to Mercedes. He looks at her and smiles a little. "Yeah I did transfer. I am originally from Kentucky, my family still lives there but I wanted to go to the university here so… here I am." He sips from his beer again trying not to look flustered.

"Kentucky sounds like a wonderful city." Mercedes says. "So… Why did you come here then? I mean there's not a lot to do here so…" He chuckles at that and she smiles. "That is very true, I mean who doesn't wanna be in a small town with a good university?" She raises her glass at that and they toast to that.

"That is so right and it's a good university." At that Mercedes smiles. Even though it's small talk they are talking and she looks over at Mike and Tina and she can see them smiling at the conversation she and Sam has. "So… I still really don't know your name… I mean I do but… not officially… that sounds kind of weird, but you know what I mean… right?" Mercedes laughs a loud laugh and he chuckles out of embarrassment.

"Well I am Mercedes and I kind of wanted to apologize for what happened earlier today." Mike's jaw drops at the apology that Mercedes is giving Sam. He knows she doesn't apologize like ever and here she is apologizing to an almost stranger.

"Well I get it you don't like people to touch you. That's not weird, that's just your right and Mercedes is a nice name." He smiles at her and she beams back at him. They talk for a while when Tina interrupts.

"I am so sorry guys, but I really need to go otherwise my parents are going crazy if I'm not home at 11 PM." They look at the clock and they all say their goodbyes. Tina and Mike kiss, Sam hugs Mike and also Tina and Mike waves at Mercedes while Tina gives her a hug.

They both leave and now Sam and Mercedes are alone. "So when are you going home?" He asks her as they walk both to the parking lot. "Well I don't really have a curfew so… I don't know." She tells him while throwing her keys in the air and catching them every time.

"Maybe you could show me the town?" He asks her, she stops walking and catches her keys again. "You would like that?" She asks and he chuckles putting his hands in his pockets. "Yeah I would really like that. I mean I'm new here and I think a tour would suffice to let me know where I can get the good coffee or where the best places are to clear my mind."

She looks at him confused. "You need a place to clear your mind?" He steps closer to her. "Don't we all?"


"So this is the park, this is where I always come to clear my mind. The lake is beautiful, especially when the sun is going down. So if you need a place to clear your mind this is the perfect one." Mercedes says while sitting down on a big rock near the lake.

He looks at her, she looks at peace. He really didn't notice what she was wearing until now. She's wearing dark blue tight jeans with an off the shoulder purple T-shirt. Her hair is in a ponytail and her make up is minimal. She's wearing Nike air max and a smile on her face.

He just wonders what happened to her and what the reason is that no one can touch her and even in the most normal ways. He can't even give her a hand. While he is deep in thought she looks at him and he looks different. He looks different than all the other guys that she has met, not physically but emotionally. There's something there that she can't explain.

She can see that he is staring at her and she almost feels normal again because she knows that every guy that she comes across stares at her. He puts his hands back in his pockets and she smiles. "You can sit over here if you want to, it's the best spot."

With that she gets him out of his own head and he looks at her, really at her. "So this is the best spot huh? Okay, scoot over." With that she scoots over a little and smiles shyly at him.

"Mercedes can I ask you something?" He turns towards her and she moves a little bit back. "Why is it that nobody can touch you?" He instantly regrets the question as he looks at her eyes and they slowly darken. They look more cold. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to overstep, I just… I am just curious." He tries to back track.

"No, no I get it I guess it's a little weird when you think about it. I just don't feel comfortable with strangers or people I don't know good enough to touch me. I mean Mike hasn't touched me as well and I know him for almost 2 years. I am just not that kind of type I guess…" she looks at her hands who are now resting in her lap.

"But Tina can hug you and Puck had his arms around you." At that her head shoots up. "It's not that I wanted too. He just did it okay? And no, I don't like that when he does it but whatever… Forget it. I don't know what to say, he's a punk and if I could take it back I would. But I can't, can we just please drop this?" She stands up and walks towards the water.

She kicks a few rocks into the water while looking at the moonlight shining on the lake. He stands next to her and sighs audibly. "I'm sorry I overstepped. Thank you for giving me the tour, I really appreciate it and I hope we could be friends and maybe… you know hang out once in a while. Maybe going to breadsticks or the coffee Bean or maybe even here." She looks up at him and he sees the sadness in her eyes. "Sure." She whispers and turns back.

"I'll see you in school Sam." She says and walks towards her car. "Wow that went great." He says sarcastically to himself before going to his car.


So this is the first chapter. What do you think? What about Mercedes? And Sam trying to rescue her? What about Puck?

Please review guys, I love it when you do.

Thanks for reading and stay safe!
