Mercedes dad slammed the phone down on the counter. He walked down the stairs for some water, when he heard a phone ringing. He realized it was Kevin's so he picked it up, that's when he heard it.
"Hello ? Kevin. If I were you, I'd watch your sister. She's fucking Sam." Mr. Jones felt like someone snatched his heart out his chest. His baby girl, his little Merce, this had to be a mistake. He decided to call her, that's it, all he had to do was call her and talk to her. He dialed her number. It rung out three times, and she finally picked up.
"Hello?" She said
"Merce, baby girl, where are you?" he asked, curiously.
"Daddy, I told you I was going to Santana's house." She answered him.
"Okay baby girl, just put Tana on the phone really quick?" He asked pushing it.
"Um, She's in the bathroom, why do you want to talk to her?" She asked
"Oh nothing darling, I'll see you later?" he asked
"Yes daddy, bye love you." She answered hanging up
Mr. Jones wasn't convinced, he was born at night, but it damn sure wasn't last night. He put on his jacket, grabbed his keys, and he was on his way. He damn near broke the speed limit, almost, he was a cop, he couldn't be that stupid. He pulled up to the driveway, walked up the steps, then knocked on the door. Santana opened the door, and she had a shock look on her face.
"Aha" He said practically bursting through the door, he opened most of the doors,
"Where's Mercedes Santana?" He said sternly.
"Hey, Captain obvious, did you try the bathroom?" She asked pissed, no one bursts through Santana Lopez' house, with out permission.
He knocked on the door.
"Chill out San, I just get in, Miss me already?" Mercedes asked coming out of the bathroom.
"Dad?" She asked confused
"Hey sweetie" He said nervously
"What are you doing here?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"I just came to check up on you baby girl" he lied
"Why would you have to check up on me? You never did before?" She said kind of loudly
"Don't raise your voice, I just wanted to see you that's all." He said pretending to be upset, he needed to get out of this.
"Okay, daddy. I understand. I'll see you at home okay?" She reasoned, feeling bad for him. She was neglecting him with all this Sam business, so she reminded herself to make time for him, she kissed him on the cheek.
"Okay pudding see you home?" He asked
"I'm sleeping over Tana's see you in the morning okay?" She asked
"Yes, I love you baby girl" He answered
"I love you too" she answered, and with that he was out the door.
Santana and Mercedes just stared at each other, both thinking the same thing, but not uttering a word.
"SOOO" Santana started
TWO HOURS EALIER
Sam and Mercedes were in the car, he silence was sickening, but neither of them would talk. Sam pulled up to one of his bros apartment, they weren't going to be home tonight, so he needed to talk to Mercedes.
"Where are we? Why did you stop, take me home Sam" She demanded
"We need to talk" he said
"There is nothing to talk about" She retorted
"Are you kidding me?" He asked incredulously. He looked at her but he knew, she wasn't going to be budge.
"Please Cedes, just give me and hour, and hour and a half at most" He tried, a different approach.
"An hour Sam, and don't call me Cedes, It's Mercedes" She said crossing her arms over chest
He walked over to her door side and opens the door for her and opens it, he tries holding her hand and walk to the apartment, she pulled her hand away, it hurt him, but he didn't react he walked and she followed him, he opened the door, and walked in. He switched the light on and sat on the couch. She took her boots off, sat criss cross on the couch.
"Talk" she simply said.
"I know I've been here already, and I know I always mess up, but I'm sorry Mercedes, I always hurt you, and I always fuck up, but I do care, I care so much about you that it hurts. If I go a day with out talking to you, I get worried, because being away from you, hurts deep inside. Even sitting her trying to explain how much you is hard for me. You know? Ever loved someone so much, that you can't find the right words to describe your love?" He asked
"You don't love me Sam, so please cut the bullshit. When you love someone, you don't hurt them" She snapped at him
"And you're right, it's just hard for me, I've never felt this way about someone. I'm not going to sit here and say I didn't care about Amanda when we were together, because I did, I Loved that girl. But with you it's just different with you, when you're sick I'm sick, when you're hurt, I'm hurt. Seeing you smile, makes me smile." he couldn't help but smile thinking about his cedes smiling.
"Sam.. I know you mean what you say, but.. but I can't trust you. You hurt me too much" she finished letting her head fall
"But Mercedes" He started but she held her hand up.
"Take me home" She stated
"Merce" he tried again
"I said take me home" she demanded
Sam was panicking, he didn't know what to do. He knew if he took her home, he would lose her.
"Hi, I'm Sam. And I don't like green eggs and ham" he said putting his hands out
"Sam, what are you doing?" She asked him sighing
"Mercedes, I may not be perfect, and I know I always make mistakes, and now I want to own up to my mistakes. I love you, and I'm sorry, truly sorry. And I want to start over, please, can I have another chance. A chance that I swear I won't blow, please" he said sad, with puppy eyes.
"Sam, I wish we could start over but I can't" She started
