WHEREEVER I MAY LAND
I missed ya! I have been helping with my nieces and my poor laptop, Blue is going haywires. Well here is the conclusion to my story. I watched the season 4 finale hoping that there was something I could add to my story, sadly there was not. I was thinking about starting a story starring Quinn and my favorite original character, Simon Evans but I'm going to put that on the backburner until I close my other stories.
Well here goes, and as usual I do not own Glee or any of their characters just my opinion
Sam shifted under his mother knit-picking with his graduation gown. Stacy was busy hoping on one foot so that every time her foot dropped she could hear the thunderous clap it made against the floor. Stevie was sulking in a corner at the idea of wearing his church clothes unlike Stacy who was happy to show off her beautiful lavender dress that spun like an umbrella when she twirled around. Sam's father sat off in the shadows with his hands jammed in his trousers watching his family. Sam turned to see Tina contending with her own family. Sam had to admit she looked very beautiful; her red graduation gown hit her feet. Her hair was curled up like curly sue. Her own mother was fussing over her while Tina seemed to lean against Mike for support.
Sam smiled at Tina.
"No Sam, I have not talked to Mercedes, I don't know if her flight was delayed nor do I think she stood you up. If she told she was coming then ten out of nine she's coming unless something has come up. Yes, she is your guest but she is my best friend she will be here." Tina said before Sam got a chance to ask her for the hundredth time that day about Mercedes.
Sam's ears blazed with embarrassment.
"Oh how nice will it be to see Mercedes," Mary Evans smiled.
"Mercedes is already here silly," Brittany tickled Sam's ribs as she pointed to Unique who was talking to Finn. The New Directions were going to perform at the graduation ceremony.
"That is not Mercedes!" Stevie snarled pushing Brittany.
"I'm sorry dear who are you again?" Mary grabbed for Stevie. She was upset that Stevie was acting out yet she really didn't feel like he was not wrong in pushing the girl.
"Hi Mama Evans, I am Brittany Sam's fake wife we have a fake family together a cat Lady Tubby." Brittany introduced herself.
"Sam would you like to explain." Dwight said in a tone that read you better explain now.
"Brittany is my girlfriend. We got married when we thought it was the end of the world so we wouldn't die lonely. Luckily our teacher really didn't let us get married. I have a lot to explain I know. Can we talk about it later?" Sam asked?
"I thought Mercedes was your girlfriend?" Stacy asked?
"She's stupid," Stevie whispered to his mom about Brittany.
"Sam, we have a lot to talk about like the fact that she is calling other people Mercedes." Mary said sternly. She was at awe how Sam seemed to accept the fact that the blonde was calling someone else Mercedes like it was alright.
"It's Brittany she's very original." Sam said as if Brittany's name alone paraphrased her in one word.
"She is not that special. She might act like she doesn't know what's she doing but I have a feeling the little girl does. How do you call yourself not only Mercedes friend but that young child's if you don't correct her?" Mary had to stop herself from not telling Stevie to push Brittany again.
"Mom, this is the first time she said it since I resumed my friendship with Mercedes." Sam protested. Mary crossed her hands across her chest. He looked at Brittany who was trying to hold a conversation with Stacy.
"Sammy loves Mercedes how are you his girlfriend?" Stacy asked?
"Britt- Brat, let's talk real quick." Sam pulled her aside before she was able to indulge their private life to his sister.
"Five minutes until show time." Mr. Schue warned his senior class.
….
"Hey Kurt," Mercedes waved to him to sit next to her.
"Mercedes, I am so glad to see you," Kurt looked towards a row that preoccupied a very lovely family. The mother was an auburn hair and striking green eyes, tall, and very classy looking. Next to her was her son, Cooper the handsome actor with those sea blue eyes. The father commanded respect just in his posture. He looked like he had spit Blaine out with his own busy eyebrows, and bow tie. The family looked like they could pose for GQ magazine.
"Blaine looks just like his dad. Is he still in denial that his youngest kid is gay?" Mercedes waved at Cooper. Cooper had come to William McKinley High a few years back he had ran an acting workshop.
"Good news is that I finally met Blaine's mom. I passed. That is a great thing Blaine says she doesn't think anybody is good enough for her baby. Why aren't you sitting with the Evans?" Kurt asked?
"I am not dating Sam and if I sit with them it will confuse the family. I am looking forward to seeing them though. Do you know my mom wants to have them over for dinner? I guess my family is confused." Mercedes shrugged.
"Coming as Sam's guest confuses Sam. How are things with Matt?"
"I wish Matt had told me how he felt when he was going to school with us. Matt and I are friends. We went on a couple of dates. I cannot settle down with anyone right now especially not a long distance relationship built on a high school crush. My mom told me to take the time to date to audition the kind of man that is best suited for me. She also said that was not the green light to give up my virginity. She said dating does not equal sex," Mercedes mimicked her mother's voice, "Mercedes sweetie, Dating is not sex."
"Talking about denial, she doesn't know your cherry was popped by Samuel Evans?" Kurt laughed.
"And she never will. Whoever I marry will be considered my first by mom just like I consider my father her first, last and only." Mercedes warned Kurt.
The graduation March music warned the guest that it was time to pay attention to the ceremony.
Kurt smiled a we-will-continue-this later look.
Artie led the pack of graduating seniors with Blaine right behind him with his million dollar smile and political wave. Mercedes couldn't help but seeing Blaine as a governor or something. A CEO would fit him perfectly. Tina Chang looking as beautiful as always was not too far behind them. Mercedes could feel Sam's eyes locking onto her. Sam waved at his parents then turned to her and blew a kiss to her before taking his seat.
"Your right Sam is not confused one bit." Kurt leaned to whisper in her ears.
"Sam has a girlfriend Brittany remember? He bought her a kitten a few weeks ago. He sounds very happy with her."
"The question is does he remember he has a girlfriend because any time you are near he tends to forget."
"Shhh," Mercedes commanded trying to pick out the rest of her New Directions members in the senior class.
….
Sam had heard the words that he had graduated but he couldn't really believe it as all the noise enveloped him with cheers.
Artie ran over his foot lightly on purpose, "Damn Evans I've been trying to get your attention. What are your plans for college? I'm going to film school and everybody else has talked about life after high school except you. I thought you got held back for a minute."
"Can't tell you yet, I haven't told my parents. I will tell you at the party. Is the party still at Joe's house?" Sam asked?
"Yea, hey Brittany, "Artie said giving his ex- girlfriend one last once over. She was as beautiful as ever in a form fitting maroon dress.
"Artie." Brittany bent down to hug him.
"Well I have to go talk to a couple of people." Artie spotted his parents.
"Well are we ready to do this?" Sam asked? Brittany nodded without saying a word they embraced in a bear hug. Sam kissed her with all his might.
"Friends always?" Brittany asked?
"We have to be for our little cat. I will send cat support next month." Sam promised.
"Thanks," Brittany eyes landed on Santana. She started to walk over towards Santana when she turned to Sam.
"Sam, tell Unique and Mercedes I'm sorry. I meant no disrespect. I know the difference I guess I was threatened by Mercedes when it came to you." Sam couldn't believe his mom was right about Britt, what if she had been faking everything? No, she couldn't have.
"Bye, Brittany." Sam said.
He smiled finding Mercedes talking to the twins.
"I hope you aren't talking about me?" Sam swung Stacy around.
"We were telling Mercedes that she should come visit our new house in Kentucky we finally have it set up." Stevie smiled.
"That would be nice. Mom and Dad may I go to a party tonight. I want to say goodbye to all my friends before I start a new chapter." Sam smiled.
"That's fine. We want to take you out to dinner first, Samuel. Where is your little girlfriend maybe she wants to come too." Dwight suggested.
"Brittany and I broke up. Mercedes, since you are my special guest I was hoping you would like to come to dinner with us as friends of course." Sam begged silently with his green eyes.
"Why did you break up with Britt? I hope it was nothing I said. "Mary asked?
"No, actually we planned to break up the last day of school a few weeks ago too bad it was after I bought her a cat. We didn't want to try long distance relationship it was not worth it when we were really just keeping each other company" Sam didn't take his eyes off of Mercedes.
"Is she okay?" Mercedes asked?
"It was her suggestion. She told me she gave me a chance but it was and probably will always be Santana who holds her heart. I get it. "Sam was happy his family was there, he also wished he was hiding out in Mercedes bedroom getting a one on one graduation gift.
"Shall we go to dinner?" Dwight asked?
"Maybe I should sit this one out." Mercedes felt like she was intruding on a private family moment.
"Nonsense Mercedes, we love having you if you don't come the twins will be disappointed." Mary said.
"Please come," Stacy hugged her tight.
"Beside if you don't come I won't tell you the surprise. My parents know but if I have to blackmail you into coming I will." Sam whispered in her ears. Mercedes could feel the minty gum induced mouth warming her ear.
"As long as I'm not interrupting anything." Mercedes looked at Sam, damn, he knew her curiosity would win out. She hated how well he knew her sometimes.
….
"Now Evans, what is this wonderful surprise you have to tell me?" Mercedes asked after dinner. She was escorting Sam to the graduation party. They were parked in front of Joe's house.
"Oh yeah, I took the SAT's over and let's say if there was award for most improved it would be this guy." Sam smiled.
"That is great!" Mercedes hugged him.
"I applied for multiple colleges and got in quite a few." Sam continued, "I even got a couple small scholarships for a couple."
"Very good, Sam." Mercedes beamed with pride.
"I couldn't have done it without my parents support."
"Do you know where you want to go?" Mercedes asked raking her hands through her hair.
"Mercedes, I heard that Puck will not be your roommate this year." Sam said.
"He told me he has a candidate for me to interview to take his place but who cares your news is way more interesting than my problems."
"Well I was hoping that maybe we could do the interview tomorrow." Sam cheesed.
"I'm sorry what do you mean?" Mercedes stammered.
"I got into UCLA. I told Puck he told me he is going to go to college in Cincinnati. He told me he didn't want to leave his hot Mama alone. I told him there would be nobody other than your dad that could take better care of you" Sam smiled.
Mercedes blushed, "Sam, what are you trying to do? We are friends. I'm not sure if living together would be a great idea. I'm happy you got into UCLA but us living together? Not too long ago you were not talking to me now you want to be my roommate?
"I know. I chose UCLA because I got an internship opportunity at Disneyland's animation department. Who knows what can happen. I chose to be your roommate well because Puck is leaving and you know me very well." Sam said.
"Sam, I'm dating and having my ex answering the door is not a good look. I don't think it will be a good idea."
"I thought you would say that. That's why I already accepted a dorm room. I had you there for a minute huh," Sam laughed.
"What if I had said yes?" Mercedes challenged.
"I would have moved in by the end of the week. Truth is I am going to UCLA and I promised Puck I will check in on you."
"I don't need anyone to check on me." Mercedes crossed her hands over her chest.
"I know Mercedes; I know I have a lot to prove you. But here's my other truth I want you back."
"Not this time, Evans." Mercedes said.
"Fair enough. Only time will tell." Sam kissed her on the nose before jumping out of the car.
"Yeah only time will tell." Mercedes sighed before following him into the party.
Mercedes wondered if UCLA was big enough for the both of them.
Sorry about the cliffhanger there! I guess I would say everything worked out. I might do a second part later Love ya, LudaNeet!
