Okay, so this is a short one. At least I think it's short. But anyways review and enjoy!
Sorry for any errors, perfection is overrated.

I do not own Glee, if I did I don't know anymore guys. It could've been so much more. Okay that's enough! Please tell me what you think guys, I need it.

PS. Still in quarantine so entertain me with your amazing reviews, questions and just simple comments, anything would suffice.

Mercedes tries to cry herself to sleep. Not only does she feel ugly, she also feels stupid for kissing Sam. It was what her heart wanted but what her head had prevented until this day. What Quinn had said didn't bother her. The way Sam reacted did. He didn't defend her like she would him. Maybe this was a stupid idea.

They were always best friends and are very close. If people didn't know them they would think they were in a relationship. They hug and kiss each other on the cheeks. When Sam hadn't seen her in days he would run up to her and hug her tight and spin her around. She would scream, but he never complained about her being heavy or anything like that. He loves her just the way she is. She is curvy and he always told her that she was special.

What happened between them? Yes, she has developed feelings for him, but he would always be her friend no matter what. And she knows he is way out of her league. She wasn't like the girls he always dated. She isn't as skinny and classically pretty as Quinn. She had left the thought of them ever being together in the back of her mind a long time ago. But now they kissed, like really properly kissed. She is so confused. He is the closest thing to a family she had left. And now maybe she was losing him.

She hears Sam downstairs. It's almost 2 AM and he isn't sleeping. Neither is she and maybe she will not sleep at all. Did everybody think what Quinn thought? Did Sam know she has feelings for him? At the mere thought she cries even harder into her pillow. She feels like a fool.

"Cedes?" She hears him at the bottom of the stairs. She wants to be quiet and sob herself to sleep, but she can't keep her crying to a low volume. It just hurts too much. She turns around facing away from the door. Not that he could go upstairs, it was more for herself anyway.

"I am coming upstairs if you don't come down." He wouldn't she thinks, but then again this is Sam she is talking about. Then it is silent for a while and she looks at her door over her shoulder. He wouldn't would he? A loud crash made her jump out of bed and down the stairs. His crutches are on the floor, but he looks totally fine, even smirking a little. The little bitch she thinks while looking him over double checking if he is okay.

"I hate you." Is all she says to him while walking down the stairs. His smirk turns into a genuine smile. "I can't sleep Cedes. Can we talk please?"

She walks right passed him without answering, going into a kitchen and gets a glass of water. He walks behind her and says nothing. "So you're gonna ignore me for the rest of the weeks?" She turns around and stares daggers at him.

"No." Is all she says. "So we can talk? Cedes please, talk to me?" He gets closer and she gasps, walking backwards until her behind bumps into the kitchen counter.

"Okay, if you don't want to talk then I'll talk." His hands now resting on either side of Mercedes on the counter. He leans in close. "I love you, you know that. What Quinn said isn't true. She is just bitter that I am moving on with my life without her. You are my best friend and I can't imagine my life without you. You are a constant to me and I should appreciate you more. You are everything to me, but I forget that I am everything to you too. After your mother died I am all you had and I now know that more than ever. I am so sorry for everything I did. I really am. I was an insensitive ass and I want to make up for it. I wanna see you smile and be the one making you. Please Cedes? Don't make me beg and go on my knees, because I don't think I can get up on my own."

At the last part she bites her lower lip, not trying to smile. "You mean that?" She whispers and feels his hand on her cheek making her look him in the eyes. "More than you think." He whispers back and she hugs him.

"There is only one thing I need to know." He looks at her again with a serious face. "What Quin said about you having feelings, is that true?" She averts her gaze and stays silent for a while.

"I do love you as a friend." Is all she says and he brings her back in a hug and sighs from relieve. "I knew it. You are more like a sister to me and I wouldn't change that for the world." He knows it's not true, but he doesn't want to scare her away, like he had with every other girl.

She gives him a watery smile. "I should go to bed." He looks at her with his head tilted to the side. "You don't have to. You can sleep here if you want to."

She pushes him away from her. "The bed upstairs is a lot more comfortable than the couch so I'll pass. Goodnight Sam." She kisses him on the cheek and leaves the kitchen.

That night Mercedes cries herself to sleep, promising herself that she is going to forget about Sam like that. She is going to date.

Okay, so like I told you it was short. What did you think? Who is she gonna date? And how is Sam going to react? Stay safe and wear a mask.
