Hey Guys I am back! I'm so sorry it took me so long. First of all I would like to thank Amanda for helping me out with this chapter. I had no idea where I was going to go with this. I also will like to thank my beta Kaitlin! Also this chapter got so long that I had to break in down into two chapters! So this is in Mercedes Point of view. I decided to add at least 5 more chapters to this. Sorry for any grammar mistakes! So I am going to stop talking and let you guys read.

I do not own Glee! Wish I did, because it would be all about Samcedes!

Mercedes Point of view-

The Future:

Everything is going so great for Sam and me. We have been together for three months now. He has been so amazing and supportive. I couldn't have asked for a better boyfriend. I knew Sam was it for me. You would think I would be so excited about the future, but the truth is, I wasn't. All my friends in Glee knew exactly what they are doing with themselves. Artie, Tina, Sugar and Blaine had one more year of high school left. Quinn got into Yale. Rachel is staying here in Lima to help with the Glee Club until her next audition comes around next year. Finn was going to join the army. Mike got a full scholarship atJoffery Academy of Dance in Chicago. Santana and Brittany both got a full ride scholarship at University of Kentucky through cheerleading. Puck and Sam got a full ride scholarship at Syracuse University in New York playing football. Kurt got in NYADA. Don't get me wrong - I am happy for all of them, but I am still at a standstill with my future. I mean, I knew I want to sing. I just didn't know how to get there; however, that all changed two weeks ago .when the biggest opportunity came my way thanks to my mom's and Sam's faith in me.

~Two weeks earlier~

I was cuddling on the couch with Sam. We decided to watch the movie "Friday" with Kurt and Santana. We were having a great time laughing until I heard my mom yell, "Mercy, get down here. I have someone that I would like you to meet."

I rolled my eyes and muttered, "Sorry, guys."

We stopped the movie and went down to see who my mom wanted me to meet. Kurt was ahead of us and stopped dead in his tracks.
"Oh my god, you're here. Mrs. Jones, you know her?" Kurt pointed out in a shock state.
The rest of us went to see why Kurt was freaking out about, "Porcelain, what's the deal? You almost caused a traffic jam in the hallway," said an irritated Santana. Kurt just stood there in shock.
"Well, since I finally have you guys down here," my mom, chuckling at Kurt's expression, pulled me to meet my little surprise guest, "Mercy, this is my good friend, Carmen Tibideaux."

I reached out to shake the woman's hand, confused as I grabbed her hand cordially, "Hi, it's nice to meet you."

She smiled and mirrored my action, grasping my hand in hers, "It's nice to meet you, too, Mercedes. You are beautiful - just like your mother."

I only grinned, blushing at her unexpected kindness, "Thank you, ma'am. What's happening?"
"Mercedes, I am the dean of NYADA. Your friend Kurt knows me. I've heard a lot about you. Your mother told me that you have an amazing voice and asked me to come by to hear you sing, considering you don't know exactly what you want to do; however, she did make it clear that you wanted to sing," Carmen chimed in.
"Oh-my-god! Mercy, you have to do it," said Kurt, jumping up and down. I glanced at Santana and Sam in disbelief and managed to sputter, "Can you excuse us for a minute?"

I grabbed my mother's hand and escorted her into the kitchen. I turned on my heels, my stomach doing flips, "MOM! I can't do this. NYADA is a big school, and I have little to no chance to get in; I couldn't do this even if I wanted."

My mom simply smiled in return, replying with confidence, "Yes, you do, Mercy; I have all the faith in the world in you. You can do this, baby girl. You just have to believe in yourself."

I huffed, annoyed at her blindness. I hate being put on the spot, especially when it involves me singing. "Mom, Rachel didn't get in."

Mom rolled her eyes, "You know, I am getting so sick and tired of you comparing yourself to Rachel. Yes, the girl is talented - but she choked, Mercy.

"You are just as talented as Rachel, if not more. I will meet you in the living room when you stop doubting yourself. This is your chance to shine." she rubbed my cheeks gently and exited the kitchen.

God, I can't believe this. Mom wants me to try out for NYADA - but what if I don't get in, I thought to myself.

"Baby, you will be accepted. You just have to try first," declared Sam, breaking my thoughts.

I slowly turned to face my boyfriend, who leaned against the door frame, "Sam, this is a big school. Rachel didn't even get in. She froze," I replied, meek and internally fragile.

Sam cheekily smiled and snaked his arms around my waist. Our eyes met, his gentle green orbs melting into mine before whispering, "Yes, you can. You just have to believe in yourself. I truly believe that you can do this. I believe in you more than anything. You started singing before you could even talk, Mercedes. It's time. You need to chase your dreams. Grab them by the shoulders, turn them around, and shout 'Look at me. Me. I belong in this spotlight, and I will do anything to be there',"

Inhaling his distinct scent, I grinned into his shoulder as he kissed my head before he whispers, "You're my star, Mercy."

And with those words that felt so right, he took my hand and led me into the living room, where Mom and Carmen chatted joyfully. Kurt turned as the door opened, alert and nervous enough for the both of us, "You got this, Mercy-me; you got this! Just deep breaths, and let those angels spread their wings and fly like the wind. Y'know, let those angels mimic your voice and just sing to the heavens! You know, just, angels, everywhere-"

Uncontrollable laughter escaped my lips as I pressed my body close to his, sighing into his ear, "I'll be okay, Kurt. I know I'll be okay."

"Where's Santana again?" I murmured, glancing around the room for any sight of my friend.
"Oh, Britney called. Apparently, Lord Tubbington tried to sniff baby powder, and kind of overdosed. Britney went a little crazy, herself, and panicked, and called Santana. I'm sure she'd be here if she could, Mercedes. Just, she'd be dying to hear your little vocal angels-"
Chuckling at Kurt being so nervous for me, I shook my head and stared downwards, my feet a new interest as I stared at it to avoid any more confrontation. Sam's gentle hand moved up my back, "You've got this, baby."
I know, I thought to myself as I stepped towards Carmen. "Oh, we all set?" she questioned, taking a seat on the couch. "Never been more ready." I nodded, a smile creeping its way onto my mouth.

~Back to the present~

"Wow, you're in a pretty deep thought, aren't you?" Kurt derailed my train of thought and snapped me back to reality.

Sighing, I nodded, turning towards him, "Yeah, I was just thinking about Carmen. I haven't heard anything. Mom said Carmen won't even tell her anything right now. Something about she has to talk to someone special before she can give me an answer."

Before a sound could pass Kurt's lips, made his way towards us, stopping to look at me, "Um, hey guys. Mercedes, I need you to meet me in my office. Kurt, you can come, too,"

Kurt and I looked at each other, confusion written on our faces. We were led into Schue's office, where Sam had a seat in a leftmost chair. The blonde boy turned to face us, shock coming over his expression, "Hey! Um, babe, what are you doing here?"

Before I could answer, "I asked you three to meet here for a reason. I have some important news for Mercedes, and I knew she would want you guys to hear it," Mr. Schue chimed in.

Our teacher and mentor handed me a letter with my name formally inked on the front. Mercedes Jones, I thought. Flipping the envelope, I could only see five letters printed so carefully and beautifully, I wanted to cry with joy - when a pang of anxiety covered me. NYADA

My eyes scanned the news, each letter jumping out at me, "Well, Mercy-me. What does it say?"

"I got in," I whispered, not quite sure if I was being pranked or not, "I got into NYADA."

Kurt jumped up and tackled me out of my chair, "MERCEDES, OH GOD, THIS IS SO GREAT. YOU'RE MOVING IN WITH ME. WE CAN BE ROOMIES. RACHEL WILL PULL THROUGH. IT'S JUST YOU, ME, AND YOUR PRECIOUS ANGELS, OKAY."

"Baby I am so proud of you. This is amazing for you!", Sam chortled after Kurt's outburst.

Once silence filled the room, a little noise slowly dripped into the air. Mr. Shue now leaned into his chair, a few tears parading down his cheeks, "It just finally hit me that you guys are going to be gone next year. My best singers will be gone. Mercedes, I am truly going to miss you. I knew you would get in. Carmen called and asked me about you. I told her she would be a fool not to have you."

Mr. Shue stood to give me a hug, tears threatening to spill from my own eyes, "Mr. Shue, you gave me a recommendation?" I asked in shocked. "Yes, I did! I gave you and Kurt both a recommendation. I feel like both of you are ready for NYADA. I didn't give Rachel one, because I feel that she isn't ready yet. But you guys are. I will leave you guys alone." Said walking toward the door. I walked up to before he left and said " , do you mind if I wait to tell everyone. Don't want Rachel to make a big deal about it just yet. We still have five more months to deal with her." Mr Shue laughed and nodded and left the room.

"So happy for you Mercy, your secret is safe with me too. We need to get together and talk about moving in together. You can come house hunting with me. Blaine, Puck and Sam are coming too.. Said an excited Kurt. I went to give him a hug and said "Sounds like a plan. Can't wait." Kurt broke the hug and left. Leaving Sam and I alone, I turned to face him and rushed to me and gave me a mind blowing kiss. "So proud of you" Said Sam out of breath. "Everything is finally coming together. I am going to school in New York playing football and you're going to NYADA!" I gave him one more kiss and said "Promise me, you will visit" he kissed my hair and said "Of Course I will. Beside we will be in the same state, only an hour or two away, together forever baby." I broke the hug and getting really excited "I will come to every game baby. I will even drag Kurt along."
Sam Chuckled and gave me one more hug. "I need to go call my mom. But will you follow me home after school? My parents and my brother won't be home until late. I want our special night to be tonight." He smiled, and replied "Yes baby I will be more than happy to follow you home. That is fine with me. Are you sure you're ready?" He asked worried. I grabbed his hand and kissed it "yes Sam I'm ready. You have been so supportive and I think I am ready to move on to the next level" I said squeezing his hand. "Okay baby. But if you change your mind I will understand" He said leaning down to kiss my cheek and turned to walk away.

I went to my locker to put my stuff away, getting ready for my last class. "Hey, 'Cedes."

I turned to find Quinn, leaning on the locker next to mine. "Hey, Quinnie."

"Walk to class with me?" she smiled, closing my locker door after I grabbed my books. My answer was given when we started to walk; I'll admit - I felt bad not telling my best friend about NYADA after all. I was the first person she told about Yale. Breaking the silence, I stopped her, "Quinn, before we go any further, I want to tell you something!"

She stopped her pace to look at me, nodding slowly, "Okay, what's up, Merce?"

"Well, my mom is friends with Carmen. You know, the dean for NYADA?" Quinn answered with a 'yes'.

"Well, she came to my house, wanting me to try out. So, I did!"

Before I could continue, Quinn started jumping up and down, "OH-MY-GOD, YOU GOT IN?" I shook my head yes jumping up and down with her. Quinn had tears in her eyes and gave me a big hug "I am so happy for you Mercy! You are going to go so far. I promise I will come visit you every chance I get" she sniffled. I squeezed her tight and said "Yes you better or I will take you to the carpet" I laughed through my tears. "Does Rachel know? She is going to be pissed!" ask Quinn. I giggled "No not yet, I want to wait until its closer time to graduate. So far Sam, Kurt, , and Now you, are the only one who knows." Quinn gave me another hug and said "I know Kurt is excited!" I started laughing "yes he is, we are going house hunting next weekend. Do you want to come along? It will be a big trip! Sam, Puck and Blaine are going!" I said hoping she would say yes. Quinn thought it over as we started walking toward our class." I wouldn't miss it for the world. I gave her another big hug and said "Everything is falling in place for us Quinnie" Breaking the hug she smiled "Yes it is! Now let's get to class." We walked into class. The future is a little brighter for me, and everyone that I care about.
