Goodbyes suck

I still love you. I've always loved you; will always love.

But what's best for us- isnt us together. I want you to get better for you but also for me. Is that a selfish notion? Were we a selfish love? Manipulative? A cycle of highs and lows? Were we- was I chasing the thrill of another downfall?

This hurt doesn't feel like that. I cry w/o even knowing the tears are falling. I don't even know what I'm crying for... i just know i miss having you near.

You're my favorite. Or you were. Everytime I see you, you steal my breath away. You make me feel ethereal... goddamnit this fuvking sucks

My dinkus. Dinglebean. Doofus. Confidant. Bambinoo. Lover. Best friend. Favorite headache. My kaedenface

Para || We have news

Who: Mercedes Jones, Sam Evans, Laura Adams, Courtney Holland and Miguel Rodriguez What: Sam and Mercedes tell everyone about their relationship When: March 31st, 2015 Where: Mercedes Bistro

Sam was nervous about this meeting. Earlier he sent James and Laura a text asking them to meet him at Mercedes Bistro. They decided to tell their friends about them reconciling. Although he was happy about being with Mercedes, but he didn't t know how they would react. He knew that James would be happy for him, but he didn't know how Laura would react. He knew that Court and Miguel would be pissed, that's why he didn't want Laya there in case drama unfolded. He was pacing in Mercedes office waiting for people to show up, and praying that everything went okay. Mercedes sighed as she waited for everyone to come to her Bistro. She and Sam agreed telling everyone together would be better than alone. She sent Miguel and Court a text after dropping Laya off at her parents’ house. They had already told both her parents and Sam's and they got a resounding it’s about time. She knew everyone might have an issue with her and Sam she honestly didn't care. She was finally with the man of her dreams. Mercedes stood walking over to Sam and pulled him into her arms. "Stop pacing everything is gonna be fine. I told Carlos to send everyone back when they arrive. We are in this together Sam and I am so happy that I have you. I love you." She kissed him gently, then turned towards the door when she heard a soft knock. "It’s open." Court didn't know what was so important that she had to meet Mercedes at her Bistro. She wasn't really going to complain because she most likely was going to get some free food out of the impromptu visit. She was going to invite James but he told her that he was meeting up with Sam. That was fine by her because the more time James and Sam spent together, the less time Sam could sniff around Mercedes. Court made her way into the Bistro and saw Carlos who told her to go to Mercedes office. She made it to the back and thought that it was strange that the door was closed. She knocked softly and walked in when she heard Mercedes voice. Her smile faded when she saw Sam with her. She rolled her eyes at Sam and gave Mercedes a hug. "So chica, what was so important that I had to meet you here and are you serving free food today?" Laura was surprised to get Sam's text asking her to meet up with him. She was figured it was to say goodbye since she was sure his vacation time was up. What confused her was that he has her meet him at Mercedes place. She assumed maybe it was because he was saying goodbye to her too but something didn't feel right about it. As she entered she told the Host she was meeting Sam and a tall man who introduced himself as Carlos, escorted her to a back office. She walked in noticing Sam, Court and Mercedes and cleared her throat. "Uh Sam what's going on?" She walked over to him and gave him a hug then turned towards Mercedes and Court. She looked at them then back at Sam. "I thought it was just going to be the two of us?" Miguel was excited to get Mercedes text asking him to meet her at the Bistro. He just knew that she was going to give their family another shot. He deserved it. He was the one that was there for two years while Sam was living it up in LA. Why should he be the one to reap the benefits of his hard work? He made sure to get her a bouquet to lilacs to celebrate the occasion. He walked into the Bistro and Carlos told him to go to Mercedes office. He walked in her office and the sight of Sam quickly melted the smile off of his face. "Baby...what are they doing here?" James had a feeling Sam wanted to talk to him about Mercedes. He hadn't talked to him since he said he was going to fight for her. So James figured this could either be good or bad news. Considering the fact they were meeting at Mercedes' Bistro, he figured it was good news. He also figured that is why Mercedes wanted to meet up with Court. He thought maybe they should be told together but considering how Court felt about Sam, maybe it was a good thing they weren't together at the moment. He walked in and nodded as the manager sent him back to Mercedes office. He was shocked to see the little gathering and knew immediately that this was not going to go over well if they were telling everyone together. He walked over to Court kissing her cheek then smiled. "Sooooo what's going on here?" Sam watched everyone enter Mercedes office on by one. He ignored Laura's question and glared at Miguel for calling Mercedes baby. Sam knew without a doubt that James would be the only one happy for them. He just wanted to get it over with it. He doesn't know how to tell them or what to say. "Uh...thank you guys for coming...it means a lot to us. We asked you to come because we are officially a couple and we wanted you guys to know so you are not blindsided." Mercedes had given Court a hug and Miguel a slight nod by the time James finally arrived. She was thinking of a way to say they were together without hurting anyone when Sam blurted it out. She looked at him then gaged the room. The only person with a visible smile on their face was James. She sighed and figured to just keep going. "We know this is sudden but life is short and Sam and I have been through a lot and now that we have finally found each other I, we just didn't want to waste that time. You guys are really important to us so we wanted you to be the first to know, besides our parents of course." Court was surprised when Laura, Miguel and James walked in. She didn't know what was going on but she knew that she wasn't going to like it. Court stopped listening after Sam told them that they were together. She couldn't believe that Mercedes would just dump Miguel like that and get with Sam. She looked over at Miguel and felt bad for him. She couldn't console him now. She put on a fake smile and went to hug Mercedes and gave Sam a small hug trying to resist the urge to roll her eyes. "If you are happy Merce, then I am happy for you." Court thought that she sounded convincing enough even if she didn't agree with the words that fell out of her mouth. Laura frowned hearing Sam's words. She couldn't believe he was with her. She looked over to Mercedes hearing what she has said and couldn't stop herself from scoffing when Courtney hugged them. "You can't be serious? I mean Sam what are you thinking? What about your life in California? What about the fact that Miguel is Laya's father or that Mercedes choose Miguel over you? Sam please tell me you are kidding. You can't be with her, you just can't." Laura looked at Miguel and felt his pain. Yes she was with someone new but a part of her would always love Sam. She turned to Mercedes. "I swear to God you are the most toxic person I know. You ruined my relationship with Sam, got pregnant by Miguel and now you are destroying your own family to ruin the new life Sam built for himself? What kind of woman are you?" Miguel couldn't believe what he was hearing. They are officially together. He agreed with Laura except he thought that Sam was toxic. "Do you like destroying families?" He turned to Mercedes with pleading eyes. "He can't love you like I can." James smiled the moment Sam said he was dating Mercedes. He may not have liked the thought of them before, but falling for Court made him realize you can't choose who you love. He frowned hearing the negative things Miguel and Laura were saying. "Well I am happy for you guys. Forcing yourself into a loveless relationship because of a kid is not smart. And staying in a place you may like but being from the one you love sucks. So I am happy for you guys." Sam felt himself getting angry. "Laura...Mercedes is not toxic at all, and James is right. A loveless marriage is no way to live. I love Mercedes and I will always love her. You have to accept it." Sam turned to Miguel. "I'll let your comments slide since you are hurt, but do don't ever question my love for Mercedes. No one can love her like I can." Mercedes sighed. She knew this was not going to go over well. "Thanks Court and James. Laura I get you are upset but I would never compromise Sam's life like that. You both need to understand that I have been in love with Sam since I was a teenager. And Laura yes Sam lived you and probably still does and I do you love Miguel. But it's a different kind of love." Mercedes walked over to Miguel. "I'm sorry. So sorry but it's not fair to you. I can't love you like I love Sam I tried I really did. I just couldn't." Court understood Miguel and Laura's anger, but she held her tongue. She had to support Mercedes no matter how much she hated the idea of her and Sam together. She just decided not to say anything. Laura moved closer to Sam. "She is toxic, and trouble and a bit of a slut if I am being honest. You left here Sam, you told me how much she hurt you how you hated her. You were finally dating. You got you Gallery opened. Your life was better off you told me you were better off. Mark my words if you give up your life for her you will live to regret it." She turned to Mercedes. "You say you love him? Then prove it. Let go of him. This hold you have had on him since he was 16 let it go. He deserves better than you. We both know it." Miguel was pissed at the situation but didn't like Laura talking to Mercedes like that. "It's not her fault. He is the toxic one. He needs to leave her alone and give me back my family." Miguel looked at Mercedes and could tell that this was hard for her. "So this is it? What about Laya? I'm the only father she knows. Don't take my daughter away from me." James was trying to stay out of the arguing. Miguel and Laura had issues to express but he could tell by looking at Mercedes that she wasn't faring well here. He cleared his throat. "Guys I know this is a tough time for you all but name calling isn't gonna help. This is a tough situation. You should know it is because I am actually the voice of reason here, let’s just calm down and let Sam and Mercedes finish talking. Miguel I am sure she isn't taking Laya from you and Laura Sam isn't giving up anything that means more than Mercedes does." He looked at Court hoping she would help him out. Sam understood that Laura meant well, but he thought she was out of line talking to Mercedes like that. "I know you are upset, but blaming Mercedes is not going to help your situation. I do still love you, I'll probably always will, but I am in love with Mercedes and always have been since I was 11. It won't go away no matter how much I tried to fight it. She isn't toxic to me. I am not interested in a life that doesn't include her." Sam turned to Miguel. "I would never replace you in Laya's life. She loves you and she knows you are her daddy and I am Sam...Well Sammy to her. We wouldn't dream of taking her away from you. I was just hoping that we can get along for her sake since we will be seeing each other more often." Mercedes couldn't believe everything that Laura and Miguel were saying. She knew they were upset but this was becoming too much. Was she toxic because looking around the room at the hurt faces made her wonder? Sam did have a life that she still knew nothing about in LA and Miguel felt he would lose his daughter. She ruined Laura's chance at happiness with Sam. She felt tears burn the back of her eyes. "Miguel I wouldn't do that. She loves you, you are her dad. I am sorry I am just so sorry about all of this. She turned to Sam wiping her eyes. "And you, what are you giving up Sam? What is she talking about?" Court knew she had to say something on Mercedes behalf because her friend was close to tears. "You two need to stop thinking about yourselves. They are happy and we should be happy for them. Laura, stop blaming Mercedes for Sam dicking her down. That was his own free will. No one coerced or seduced. He is a grown man and made plenty of mistakes, but he deserves a second chance at love and Mercedes deserves to be truly happy." Court thought she would feel a certain way about that speech, but she felt good and she actually meant every word she said. Laura glared at Court. "Whose side are you on Court? You know how much I was in love with Sam. You know how hurt I was that he cheated, you told me Mercedes had finally moved on to Miguel and they were happy. How can you and James just sit there and let this happen?" Laura scoffed at Mercedes. "Sam is giving up his dreams that's what. The man opened his own Gallery and now what? If you loved anyone but yourself you would see the trail of destruction that follows you. See the lives you are ruining. How can you say she isn't toxic? Look at this mess? She hurts Sam by making him lose his dream, Miguel loses his family and we all know how she hurt me. And she gets everything. Her restaurant, her daughter, Sam. She doesn't care who she hurts so why should I care if I hurt her pathetic little feelings?" Miguel knew that Mercedes wouldn't take Laya away...but that gave him little comfort. "Laura, back off. Sam ruined everyone's life. He cheated on you with Mercedes plenty of times. Mercedes had no loyalty to you and she was a single woman. Sam made the commitment to you and still stuck is dick inside another woman. He left because he couldn't take that Mercedes wanted a real man, not one who plays with her feelings. If you going to call out Mercedes, then call out Sam because his ass ain't no saint." James shook his head this was going nowhere fast. "Ok Sam cheated with Mercedes that’s done it happened we all moved on. I don't get why you are fighting or trying to fight. It’s clear they made up their minds so accept it and move the hell on. This shit right here is getting petty. Mercedes and Sam may not be saints but at least they aren't sneaking around and lying. At least they came to you guys and put everything out there." Sam stared at Laura in disbelief. "She didn't ruin my life at all. She enhanced it. James is right. We made up our minds and we are going to be together whether you want us to or not." Sam looked at Mercedes. "I have my own Art Gallery out in LA. It’s doing pretty good. But that doesn't matter. My life is out here with you." Mercedes stared at Sam wondering why he never told her. They had spent so much time reconnecting she didn't even wonder what he could be giving up. Miguel looked like his heart was just ripped out of his chest and Laura looked angry enough to spit nails. She was the common factor in all this. She turned away from Sam and walked over to her desk needed to clear her mind. She never realized how many people could be hurt by her actions. She didn't know what to say because how could you defend yourself in this situation? It would be easy to yell and scream and try to sound like you are not wrong but she couldn't do that. She felt horrible. Court got in Laura's face. "Back off! It's so easy to blame the woman when the man is at fault. They made mistakes and that was two years ago. Get over it. You are supposed to be his friends. That means you support his dumbass and be there for him. Stop attacking Mercedes because you are pissed at Sam." Court walked to Mercedes and hugged her. 'None of this is your fault, at all. Don't be upset, you are wonderful. Laura is just blinded by jealousy and hate." Laura shook her head in disbelief. "I am Sam's friend and if you were Mercedes friend you would tell her what a mistake this is. Sam think about how hard you have worked for this. Throwing away your dreams while she gets to live hers is unfair." Laura turned to Miguel. "I am sorry that you are in the middle of all this. You are a good guy who deserves better. I can see that you guys have all jumped on the Mercedes band wagon so I am leaving." She walked over to Sam. "Don't let her ruin your life like she has ruined mines and Miguel's, Sam. Please go back to LA," Miguel was glad that Laura left. He wanted to check on Mercedes, but knew that wasn't he job anymore. "Just treat my girl’s right or I will kick your ass." James smirked seeing Laura leave. It was past time for her to go. He knew what she said had gotten to Mercedes because if it hadn't he knew she had no problem going toe to toe with the girl. Grateful to Court for finally picking the winning side he looked at Miguel. "I know how hard that must have been for you dude, you really do love her. Sam is a good guy he won't hurt her." Sam moved over to Mercedes and gently pulled her away from Court. "Babe...it's not your fault. I'm at fault. Let's forget about everything and start over. All of that stuff happened over years ago. Please? Mercedes was glad to have Court on her side she finally felt like something was going right but she had a pit inside her stomach that wouldn't go away. "Owning a Gallery is what you have always wanted, but never thought you could do. Why didn't you tell me Sam? You can't just give that up." Court walked over to James and Miguel to give them some privacy. She turned to Miguel. "I am very proud of you Miguel. That took a lot and I am sure Laya will be proud." She turned to James. "I am also proud of you sticking up for Mercy and Sam." She gave him a kiss on the lips than wiped off the gloss that she left behind. Laura was pissed she needed to get out of there ASAP. How could Sam just give up what he worked so hard for? Mercedes needed to disappear she was certain of that. There was no way she would allow Mercedes to ruin Sam's life again. Miguel thought it was best for him to leave also. He said what he needed to say and he felt there was nothing left for him there. "I'll catch you guys later. I have to head into work/" Miguel walked out with a heavy heart James nodded to Miguel then looked at Court. "Maybe we should go too, I think maybe Mercedes and Sam need to talk. They have something’s to work out and I think they need their space." Court nodded her head and went and gave Mercedes a hug and a kiss on the cheeks. "Take care of her Sam. I don't want to have to kick your ass." She grabbed James hands and they walked out. On the way to his car she turned and spoke to James. "He better treat her right this time." Sam sighed at Mercedes questions. "You are worth more than my gallery. I love my gallery, but I can do without it. I love you and I want a life with you. I can always sell it and use the money and open up one out here. I just want to be with you Mercedes. We always have some thing that comes in between us. Now there is nothing and I want to take advantage of that and be with you free and clear. Mercedes sighed looking at Sam. "I know you are right that things always get in our way but Laura was right Sam, I have my dream, and you are giving up yours." Mercedes huffed walking to her couch. This whole ordeal left her emotional. "Is it really worth giving up your life in LA Sam? Your dreams? I don't want you to resent me. To resent your decision." Sam wrapped his arms around Mercedes waist and peppered her face with kisses. "You are my dream Mercy...I love you so much. Being with you will gain me so much more than my Gallery. I love you and I want to be with you and I don't care if I have to give up my gallery. As long as I have you and Laya in my life. Mercedes felt tears come to her eyes. "First thing in the morning we are going to talk to my dad, he found this place for me I am sure he will find the perfect place for your Gallery. Sam you are not gonna give up your dream. You helped me with mine so I am gonna help you with yours. And I am sorry, about everything." Sam shook his head. "Don't apologize. You did nothing wrong...we love each other and that's all I need. And hopefully I can find a gallery and start my business back up." Sam sat on the couch and pulled her on his lap and kissed her soundly. Mercedes smiled a little brighter. "Sam you seem to always know how to calm me. I know we can get your business back up." She kissed him back and wrapped her arms around him. "You are mine and I am yours. That is all we need." She sighed laying her head on his chest as he held her tightly.

Laura was upset, Miguel had sent her a text saying the Mercedes let Sam go and Laura was beyond heated. Sam left her for that two faced slut and now Sam was left alone and hurt. While she told Sam she wanted him to suffer she didn't mean it. She knocked on Sam's door and waited patiently for him to answer. No matter the situation she still wanted to make sure he was ok.

F2F || Mercedes and Court

Court stood outside of Mercedes door knocking. It was time for her to give her friend some truth bombs. She didn't like Laura and Mercedes fighting over Sam. She felt a little bad for what she said to Sam, but he was pissing her off. "Merce open the door please."

Miguel was worried about Mercedes since she stood him up last night. She didn't even call him to cancel and that wasn't like her. They had fun when they went out Saturday if the kisses were any indication, so he did not know why she stood him up. He figured that she may be sick, so he stopped at one of his favorite restaurants and ordered some soup. He drove over to her house and knocked on the door hoping she wasn't too sick to walk.

Lovers or Friends

Moving plans are coming along, and what perfect timing.

I guess it's impossible to be best friends with the person you love in this world.  My boy told me that he loves me, but doesn't see me as his best friend...I guess I can see that.

It's hard for us to hang out as friends, let alone as lovers...that just hurts.

That's alright.  I know who my best friends are.  One of them shouldn't still be my friend, but we keep coming back together.

He said something about soulmates the other night...now, soulmates is one of those terms I hate.  But if I were forced to define it, I would define it as souls that are bound to come together reincarnation after reincarnation.

My soul and the soul of one of my best friends has done that.  We keep getting separate and coming back together when we thought all hope was lost.

We shouldn't, though.  We each have our respective people...of course, now mine has said I'm not his best friend.

That bothers me.  Again, I see how we aren't, and I know he loves me, but ouch, you know?

My father has often said, "If you're not marrying your best friend, you're marrying the wrong person."

I guess we're doomed to marry the wrong people.

And we'll just have to live with it.
