Chapter 8

She's been avoiding me all day and I'm getting tired of it. I believe in giving people space, but I can't take this anymore. When I love someone I really love that person. I thought I loved Kurt, but Mercedes made me love her even more. I love everything about her it pains me that she can't admit how she really feels about me. Today I'm going to sing how I really feel about her. As I walk inside the classroom I noticed that I'm the first one here so I sit in the back on the right side. Then Mike, Sam and Puck entered in talking. We greet each other and then they sit in front of me. Incomes Mercedes who looks odd and nervous for some reason and she sits in the middle row. Something's not right I thought. Britney and Santana sits on the other side of Mercedes and Tina sits by Mike. Artie comes in followed by Kurt and Quinn. Kurt looks Mercedes way with a weird look in his eyes and she turns away from him and it looks like he going to cry until Quinn grabs his arm and they sit in the back on the left side of the room. Now I know something is going on and I will find it out. Mr. Shue finally arrives followed by Rachel with sheet music in her hands and Finn right behind her. They took their seats and everyone stop talking until Santana jumped up and said. "Oh hell's no Aretha who did that shit to your face." I looked over to see a stunned Mercedes.

I come into glee and I see Blaine looking at me, but I didn't even look his way. Then San and Brit sat next to me and I look up and see Kurt, but I turn away. So Santana starts talking to me and messing with my hat.

"I likes this hat cedes."

"Thanks Santana." She was getting nervous because she didn't want her to see her face.

"Ooo are these Gucci sunglasses let me see." She snatches of my glasses and looks over to Brit and gasped then takes off my hat and jumps up. I look at her and pleaded for her not to make a scene.

"Oh hell's no Aretha who did that shit to your face." I stood up and looked around and saw everyone looking at me. In glee club all the guys are overly protective and it's scary. Puck, Mike, Artie, Finn, and Sam look like they were ready to attack when they jumped up. I look over to Blaine and he looks really mad and I can see him clenching and unclenching his fist. I look at all the glee girls Tina, Rachel and Quinn who had their hands over their mouth. And then I look at Kurt I didn't want to see him get hurt, even though he did this I still love him and he's still my best friend.

"Mercedes who did this." Mr. Shue tried to ask calmly, but I can see he was upset too.

I had to lie for my best friend. " I just got into a fight it's no big deal." I said irritated.

"With who Shane, because I know you guys broke up this morning." Santana said. I can see out the corner of my eye that the guys were heading towards the door and I ran in front of them to stop them.

"Sexy mama you need to step out the way and let us handle this." Puck said coldly. I didn't move.

"Mercy seriously you need to get out of the way, because we're not letting him get away with this."

I decided to speak. "Shane didn't do this."

"So why did you break up with him." Artie said.

"He's been cheating on me."

"Even more of a reason to kick his ass." Mike said.

"No it's not worth it. I'm not innocent in this either" I look at them and they look confused.

"What are you talking about you're not innocent in this he's the one that cheated on you." Finn said. This was going to come out sooner or later. Mercedes you can do this.

"I slept with someone and I felt bad about it, but I don't regret it." I said looking at Kurt and Blaine.

"That still doesn't explain your face." Quinn said.

"I got into a fight with some girl at the mall." I looked at everyone who looked shot, except for Blaine he wasn't buying it.

"What you do let her hit you?" Santana said.

"No she caught me off guard and I was blindsided, but she looks way worse than I do." I said putting on a fake smile.

"Ok well class can we get back to the assignment we have for this week please." Mr. Shue said.

Everybody went back to their seats and Mr. Shue asked were there any volunteers that wanted to go first and Tina went followed by Mike and Artie. Then Puck and Finn did a duet. Then next went Quinn and after her Rachel went. Then Santana and Brit sung to each other. Then Sam was next he stood up and walk to the front.

"I would like to dedicate this to someone who believed in me when I felt like no one else did. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, because I know he knows where we stand which is us being friends. "Mercedes this is for you." Sam said.

The intro of the music starts I begin to smile.

[Sam]

You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back

Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you; I'll have faith in all you do

Just call my name and I'll be there

Tears are filling my eyes and my chin starts trembling.

[Chorus:]

And oh - I'll be there to comfort you,

Build my world of dreams around you; I'm so glad that I found you

I'll be there with a love that's strong

I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on - yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter

Togetherness, well that's all I'm after

Whenever you need me, I'll be there

I'll be there to protect you; with an unselfish love I respect you

Just call my name and I'll be there

[Chorus]

If you should ever find someone new, I know he'd better be good to you

'Cos if he doesn't, I'll be there

I Thank God I've met Sam. I know that he will always be there for me. I start sniffling and Santana grabs my hand I look and smile at her.

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah

I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey - ooh)

I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah

Just call my name

And I'll be there

As he ends the song I run up and hug him and cry into his shoulder while he kisses my head. He whispers in my ear. "Whoever he is that made you glow yesterday keep him around. You deserve to be happy."

"Thank you Sam." I looked up and give him a one last kiss goodbye. He smiles with tears in his eyes. Out the corner of my eye I see Blaine run out the room. I look at the door and back at Sam. He lets me go. "Go after him Mercy." Sam said. I nodded and rush out the room.

I hear a familiar sound coming out the auditorium. I opened the door and walk in then stop when he begins to sing.

[Blaine]

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.

My love is pure.

I saw an angel.

Of that I'm sure.

She smiled at me on the subway.

She was with another man.

But I won't lose no sleep on that,

'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.

You're beautiful, it's true.

I saw your face in a crowded place,

And I don't know what to do,

His voice starts to crack.

'Cause I'll never be with you.

When I heard that line a tear rolled down my cheek. Then the piano stops and he stands abruptly and kicks the piano bench and drops to his knees. I jumped and started walking towards him on stage. He starts to sob and I touched his shoulder and he tenses up.

"Hey." I said. He stands up with his back facing me.

"Hi." He said hoarsely.

"Blaine can you look at me please." I asked.

"If you came here to rub Sam and you in my face. I rather not look at you or hear what you have to say. Matter of fact I don't have anything else to say to you." He said coldly.

"I understand, just listen then. I know how much you care for me I do. I want to see where this takes us I really do. I just didn't want to rush things. Give me time to completely fall in love with you instead of halfway. I will completely understand if you gave up on me. That night I really felt special and you did that for me. That's all I wanted to say. I guess I'll see you later." I turn to walk off stage, but I stop when he grabs my hand and I turn to look into his eyes.

"Did you mean all of it?" he said looking down.

I lift his chin to where he's looking down in my eyes. "I meant every word of it." He smiles.

"What about the kiss with Sam?" He asked frowning.

"It was a goodbye kiss. He and I came… well he came to understanding that we should be friends. He knew it was for the best." I said smiling.

"Is it?" he asked.

"Yea it is. I will always love Sam no matter what, but he knows he's my past and hopefully you can be my future."

He steps closer and grabs my face and kisses me passionately. I pull back.

"So is that a yes?" I ask

"It's definitely a yes." Blaine said kissing me again. He pulls back. "Where would you like to go my lady? Because I'm pretty sure school is over."

"We can go to my house. I have Harry Potter."

"You are the true love of my life. I love Harry potter."

"Good let's go." I grab his hand and walked down the stage and out the auditorium. "Shit I left my bag in class. Here's my keys meet me by my car."

"Okay." He says taking my key and kissing me on my lips softly. I smile and he walks away.

After I see Mercedes and Sam kiss I cringe, but then I see Blaine run out the room and Mercedes rushed after him shortly. What the hell I thought.

"What the hell is going on between them?" Quinn whispers in my ear.

"I don't know-." I was cut off by the bell indicating school is over. Quinn tells me to call her later. Mercedes left her bag so I pick it up and decided to take it to her house I'm walking then I hear singing coming from the auditorium. I cracked the door and hear Blaine singing James Blunt Beautiful. When he sings the last line before he starts to crack on the last line I thought about Mercedes. I thought about how she doesn't feel the same way about me the way I feel about her. I know that she won't be mine, a tear rolls down my cheek as I listen to every word Mercedes is saying to Blaine. Honestly I believe that she will care for him and love him like he loves her. I always knew that Blaine felt something for Mercedes. I saw it every time she was around he had that look in his eye. I see pure honesty in both their eyes. Now I know that it's time to let her go and move on. As they kiss I turn to head back to the choir room because I know she will come back for her bag. I sit down and wait.

I walk into the room and jump as I see Kurt sitting there with my bag. He stands up and walks closer to me.

"Mercedes I am truly sorry for what I did. I had no right to do it."

"No you didn't." I said harshly.

"I just want you to be happy and to know that I will always love you. And you will always come before anyone." I look in his eyes and he was being truthful.

"Thank you Kurt. Maybe we can hang out sometime." He smiled.

"I'd like that."

"Well I gotta go, so thanks for watching my bag. I turn to leave, but I turn around and give him a tight hug. He slowly wraps his arms around me. We stay embraced for a minute or two. He pulls back and kisses my cheek.

"Bye Mercedes." I look up and see tears in his eyes.

"Bye Kurt. I walked out smiling with tears in my eyes. And I walk towards my car and Blaine walks up to me and grab my hands.

"Why are you crying? Is everything ok?" he asked with concern.

"It will be." I smiled and got in the car. He lifts my hand to his lips and kisses it. I look over and smile at him. Everything will be ok.

The End. Time to move onto a real Kurtcedes Fanfic. This story literally drained me lol. I hope everybody enjoyed it. You guys can email me on a pairing for a Mercedes story. I really wanna do a Brody and Mercedes. But I don't think that would make any sense. So give me any suggestions and comments.
