A/N: I really hope I get good reviews and sorry if this seems rushed, it's the middle of the morning, and I feel a bit sad.
Tears left Mercedes' brown orbs as she reached the center stage. It was show time. Her first show, without him. Him.
She felt tired. Not like that sleepy tired after being kept awake for awake but the fed up, can't do this anymore tired.
The curtain came up and she began to sing a familiar tune.
Love of my life, my soulmate
You're my best friend
Part of me like breathing
Now half of me is left
A man was caught in the crowd, eager to see her. His serious face was intimidating to all the others but that didn't stop him. His golden brown hair was hard to catch. From his perspective, all he could sense was her melodious voice that was breathtaking.
I don't know anything at all
Who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
& who am I to say you need me
He needed to see her and he needed to talk to her, now. ASAP was not an option anymore.
Color me blue I'm lost in you
Don't know why I'm still waiting
Many moons have come & gone
Don't know why I'm still searching
It was hopeless, will she even talk to him. How would she react when she sees him again.
Don't know anything at all
& who am I to say you love me
I don't know anything at all
& who am I to say you need me
The song was close to ending. Almost fading actually. The lyrics made Sam think, who is she singing to. Who is she directly speaking these words to.
She walked off the stage, dress and all. Mercedes felt refreshed, part of a new beginning.
Sam pushed his way through, seeing her talking to her vocal coach.
"'Cedes." He eagerly shouted, out of breath. Her vocal coach left the two alone, seeing the sexual tension.
"Sam," she whisper-yelled, slightly suprised and half angry. "Who told you I was here?"
The curtains came up for a second time and a hispanic woman came out and sang. During the intro, Sam sneaked his hand to fit in hers, and she didn't bother moving it away.
I lit a fire with the love you left behind
And it burned wild and crept up the mountain side
I followed your ashes into outer space
I can't look out the window, I can't look at this place.
I can't look at the stars
They make me wonder where you are
Stars, up on heaven's boulevard
And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far
So I, I can't look at the stars.
All those times we looked up at the sky
Looking out so far, it felt like we could fly
Listening to the song and analyzing every single detail, Mercedes was tearing up. "Mercy," Sam started. "Sam, you shouldn't have came here." She ran away, leaving Sam's grip when he held her hand.
And now I'm all alone in the dark of night
And the moon is shining, but I can't see the light.
And I can't look at the stars
They make me wonder where you are
Stars, up on heaven's boulevard
And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far
So I, I can't look at the stars
Sam was looking everywhere for Mercedes. She ran as fast as she could, through the vast concert hall and quickly reached the exit. She had to hide yet again. Mercedes couldn't handle being with him, not anymore.
Stars, they make me wonder where you are
Stars, up on heaven's boulevard
And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far
So I can't look at the stars.
Santana trotted off the stage as applause filled the room. Sam looked around for Mercedes but she was no where in sight. He got extremely fed up, sick to his stomach and lost hope.
A/N: This was a bit rushed, I'm sorry for the inconvinience.
