@thelegendevans

Sam was always happy to see Mercedes. She was his best friend in the whole world. He smiled at how excited Mercedes was but the smile faded when he met her new friend Courtney. Mercedes was his friend, and he didn't like how excited she was about Courtney. So he put on a fake smile. "That's nice Mercedes. My dad bought me a new Mario Kart game for my Nintendo. You want to come over after school to play?"

Mercedes nodded. “She has a pool too!” Mercedes said knowing Sam had to be impressed with that. “Mario Kart? Yes! Can Courtney come too?” She asked oblivious too Sam not being happy.

Her having a pool was cool, but Sam didn't want to admit that to Mercedes. Sam didn't want Courtney to come. But he didn't want to hurt Mercedes’s feelings when she was so obviously happy about a new friend. Why did Mercedes need a new friend anyway? "I only have two controllers though."

Mercedes shrugged. “You guys can play and I can watch. I know how to share, momma said I was the best at it. Let me go ask her if she can come over your place!” She said turning to leave but stopped. “Also she gonna sit with us on the bus!” Mercedes said happily. “

"But three people sharing a seat is crowded." Sam shouted at Mercedes, but she was already running off to Courtney. Sam turned around and sat on the curb waiting for recess to be over. He didn't like this new feeling of being replaced.

After school, Sam got on the bus and went to the seat that he and Mercedes always sat. He sat on the end so she can have the window seat. Normally they arrived at the same time, but today he got there first and looked eagerly down the aisle for her.

Mercedes and Courtney chatted away as they got to the bus. Mercedes and Courtney seemed to have a lot in common and she liked that about them. As they got on the bus, Mercedes lead them to Sam. "Sammy guess what? Courtney's mom is gonna take us to the Zoo. Sammy scoot over." She said sitting on the seat so Courtney could sit across from her. As they sat down, Mercedes bounced in her seat.

Sam's smile faded when Mercedes said they were going to the zoo. "I thought you were coming over to play Mario Kart." Sam slid over and couldn't help but think that things were changing between them and he didn't like that feeling one bit.

Mercedes nodded. “We are just tomorrow maybe… you can come too Courtney said her mom said we all could go as long as our moms said it was okay.” She turned to look at Sam and smiled brightly. “So we can ask as soon as we get home.”

"Oh, I forgot that me and my dad were going to throw the football around today after school. But have fun at the zoo." Sam turned so he could stare out the window.

Mercedes watched Sam but nodded looking back at Courtney. Sam was acting weird, she just didn’t know why. As they made it to their bus stop she grabbed Sam’s hand as she always did and pulled him off the bus with Courtney following them. “Courtney I am gonna go ask my mom right now and I will come right over.” She said pulled Sam towards their houses. “Sam, you sure you don’t wanna come? We get to get slushies.”

Sam wanted to go because he loved the zoo, but he wasn't in the best of moods and didn't want to bring everyone down. "I'm sure. Have fun for us both. Bye Mercedes." Without waiting for a response, Sam went into his house and went straight into his room to play video games. He needed a distraction.

________________________________________________________________

Mercedes walked over to Sam's desk with the picture she made. Art wasn’t her favorite subject but she was proud of her canvas. She made flowers and a blue sky. Plus a lot of green, Sam’s favorite color. “Sammy look at my picture I think its the best one yet.” She said holding it up.

Sam was drawing the Animaniacs, one of his favorite cartoon characters when Mercedes showed him her picture. “You draw really good Cedes. I really like the flowers. You should add some cows so they are munching on the grass.” Sam still felt worried that Mercedes was replacing him, but he wasn’t going to show her that. And besides, he really did like her drawing. “How was the zoo?”

Mercedes laughed. "Cows? I can’t draw cows." She placed her paper down. "It was awesome, we are going to the Fort after School," The for was Mercedes treehouse. No one but she and Sam had ever been there.

“Drawing Cows is easy. I can show you if you want, or draw them for you.” Sam’s eyes bulged when she said she was taking Courtney to the Fort. That was their special spot. “But you just met her. Are you sure she’s worthy of the fort?”

"Maybe show me later?" Mercedes nodded. "She is! You should come too and help me show her so we all can be friends!" She asked hopefully.

Sam’s eyes dropped to his drawing in front of him. “How do you like my picture? I drew the Animaniacs. One of my favorite cartoons.” Sam hoped that she wouldn’t mind him changing the subject.

She looked at it. "It’s awesome but Sam you draw real good anyways." She put his picture down. "Are you gonna come to the fort?"

Sam knew better than to think that she would just drop it. “I don’t know. If you want me to come then I will.” Sam went back to his drawing. Maybe he should give this girl a chance.

"Of course I want you too she's my best friend now too." Mercedes sat next to him. "Oh and guess what? Her dad is taking us to Disney on ice!"

That was it. Sam was not happy. Mercedes was his friend. Ever since Courtney came, it's like Mercedes forgot about him. "I can't. I promised to spend more time with Stevie and Stacy. Have fun." Sam got and began preparing to go home.

Mercedes frowned. "Sam why can't you play with them later?" She watches him gather his things, and the teacher calls for her to do the same. "We will talk on the bus." She said turning. As she walked away, someone bumped her. Seeing it was James she frowned. "Watchout!" James just shrugged and kept moving. Mercedes sighed going back to her desk.

Sam didn't want to talk about anymore. He needed a new friend since Mercedes had one. He knew he couldn't replace her but at least he could keep busy with someone else. He saw James stick his tongue out a Mercedes when her back was turned, and figured he could be a good friend. He walked up to James and smiled. "Do you like video games?" James looked at him and nodded. "Great! You're my new best friend!" James shrugged. "Okay." Sam beamed. "Good! Sit with me on the bus?" James nodded. "Ok." They both lined up and when they got on the bus, Sam sat in the seat that him and Mercedes usually sit and James sat next to him. Sam felt good about this.

Mercedes watched Sam lined up, she knew something was bothering him, she just didn't know what it was, so she figured they could talk about it on the bus. As she made her way to her seat, she frowned seeing James in her seat. Moving towards it she folded her arms. "That's my seat! You gotta move!"

Sam was telling James all about his games when Mercedes popped up. He could tell she was unhappy, but James was his new friend. James frowns at Mercedes. "Your name isn't on it. I can sit where I want." James doesn't move and Sam could see if he didn't interfere, things would turn badly. "Mercedes, James is my new best friend. He likes video games also."

Mercedes eyed James. "I dont care if hes your new best friend that my seat!" She insisted. "Move!" James continued to sit there and the driver told her to take a seat she grew angrier. "Move!!" James smiled sticking his tongue out at her. "Make me." The driver said to sit again. Court pulled Mercedes to her seat behind Sam and James and Mercedes sat back staring at them. This meant war.

Sam never saw Mercedes so angry before. It was just a seat. He felt bad that he let James take her seat, but she had Court now. "Mercedes is psycho. I mean it's just a seat." Sam startled at James voice. "If I were you, I wouldn't say that too loud. Anyway, are you coming to my house after school? We can play with my power rangers." As James and Sam continued talking, their bus stop came. Come on James, I'll introduce you to my mom and siblings. My dad is at work." The continued talking as they walked off the bus. Sam turned around and wave to Mercedes. "See ya later Merce."

Mercedes was livid, and when she was livid she was petty. The entire bus ride was spent plotting her revenge and now she was gonna get it. When Sam waved at her she rolled her eyes and stuck her nose up at him. He was no longer her friend. Courtney had to run home and change then she would come back over. Coming in the house her mom smiled. "Hey Merce! How was school?" Mercedes just shrugged. Amelia looked at her. "Where is Sam? Doesn't he usually come over after school? I haven't seen him in a few days." Mercedes folded her arms. "Sam's not my best friend anymore." She walked away and to her room, grabbing her supplies, then snuck into her brothers rooms for more ammo. "They wont know what hit them."

After calling James parents to let them know where he was, the boys immediately ran back outside to throw a football around. The twins were taking a nap and Mary didn't want Sam and James to wake them up. "How many little brother and sisters do you have?" James asked curiously. "Just two. They're twins." James nodded in understanding. Your mom seems cool." Sam beamed. "She's the best." Sam and James continued tossing the ball around not aware of any danger that may be brewing next door.

Mercedes had began to fill up the water Balloons when her mom let Courtney in. Once the girl's were done filling the balloons and water guns, they used the Forts dolly to lift it inside. Courtney looked over at Sam and James. "Are they gonna be mad?" Mercedes shrugged. "Probably but I don't care." Courtney nodded. "I don't care either." Mercedes grabbed the super soaker and pushed the bucket of balloons to the window. Grabbing two balloons she looked out of it. "Hey butt heads? This is for sitting in my seat!" She yelled unleashing the water balloons at Sam and James.

Sam and James were having fun one minute and the next they knew, they were being attacked by water balloons and water guns. "What are you doing?!" Sam yelled while trying to take cover. "Man she's crazy. All of this because I sat in her seat?" Sam shrugged. "Stop talking and grabbed the hoses." James looked around before replying. "There's only one, what will I use?" Before Sam could reply, a balloon hit him square in the face. "That's it! James get the hose from Mercedes house. Will soak them from both sides." James nods and leave, but becomes target practice for Mercedes and Court. Sam got his hose and him and James started soaking up the tree house and Mercedes and Court. "Surrender!"

Mercedes and Court squirts them more but when they spray them with the hoses she screamed and Court dropped the gun and grabbed her hair. “My hair!! I just got it done! That's it.” She grabbed the super soaker and aimed at James’ head as Mercedes shot Sam right in the face. “You will pay!!!!!” she screamed at the top of her lungs.

James laughed at wetting Court's hair but when she started shooting him and not missing he regretted it. Sam could barely see with how much water is in eyes because of Mercedes, so he felt no remorse about Courtney's hair. He increased the pressure of the hoes and blasted the whole tree house soaking both girls. "You started it, but will finish it!"

“UGH!!!” They both screamed deciding to abandon the tree house. They climbed down the back and Mercedes lead her to the mud pile that contractors left, her parents were having a pool put in. Hiding behind the pile, they grabbed handfuls of Mud and started throwing it at the boys.

Sam and James had big smiles thinking that the girls retreated. "Yea, that'll teach you to mess with us." The celebration was short lived when the girls began to throw mud at them. James turned to Sam. "What now?" Sam found some mud patches my the tree house the girls abandoned. "Follow my lead." Sam ran to the tree house, picked up some mud and began throwing it at the girls. James followed suit.

Amelia was in the kitching, working on dinner when a glob of mud hit the window. “What in the world?” She looked out of it and her eyes grew wide seeing what was happening. She ran outside screaming. “What are you kids doing?! Stop this now!” Mercedes froze seeing her mom. “They started it!” She said pointing to Sam and James.

"No, Mercedes started it!" James yelled. Hearing all the commotion, Mary came out. She intended on telling them to lower their voices because the twins were still sleep. But her mouth flew open at the scene in front of her. "Oh my god Sam. What did you do?" Sam didn't know what to say to his mother or Mrs. Jones. "I'm sorry for messing up your backyard Mrs. Jones." Mary shook her head. "Sam, sometimes sorry doesn't fix it." Mary looked at her son disappointed.

Amelia angrily moved towards Mercedes. "Mercedes Amelia Jones what has gotten into you! I have never been so disappointed in you then I am right now. This is a complete mess." Mercedes looked to the ground. "I'm sorry mommy I am but Sam-" Amelia held up her hands. "I do not want to hear it."

"Amelia, I don't know what has gotten into my son, but Dwight and I will pay for any damages." Mary was just confused. "I thought you two were best friends. Friends don't throw mud at each other. "She isn't my best friend anymore. James is my new best friend and Court is hers."

Amelia shook her head. “No Mary it's okay, they were fixing back here anyways I am more concerned with this. Mercedes you and Sam aren’t friends anymore?” She shook her head, “No he chose James! He gave him my seat!” She said defensively. Amelia rubbed the bridge of her nose. “I think I see what is going on Mary.”

Mary, understood also. “Yea, I’m starting to see also.” Sam didn’t think anyone would understand how he was feeling. “She replaced me with Courtney. It used to be just me and Mercedes, and then when Courtney came, she forgot all about me and liked her more than me. So, I got a new friend, and replaced her. I didn’t think him sitting in her seat would be a big deal, since there aren’t assigned seats on the bus anyway.” Mary just shook her head at Sam. She knew he cared for Mercedes, but she didn’t think he would get jealous of her making new friends. “Sam, Mercedes wasn’t trying to exclude you, in fact, she invited you, but you turned her down. You don’t own Mercedes. She can have a million friends, and still care about you, and want to be your friend.” Sam was still sad. “But she threw water in my face and mud at me for no reason!”

Mercedes folded her arms, she wanted to scream at Sam but his mom said what she was feeling. She was hurt that he thought she replaced him. "You stopped being my friend first! And gave my seat away I sat with you everyday since we moved here. I never gave Court your seat." She said her voice full of hurt." Courtney moved closer. "Mercedes and I thought we were all friends." She confirmed but Sam made her cry." Amelia sighed. "If you were hurt by Sam you should have talked to him, not spray him and attack him." Mercedes nodded still upset but knowing her mom was right.

"Sam, don't you have something to say to Mercedes?" Mary didn't want to see their friendship dissolve over a misunderstanding. "I'm sorry Mercedes." Sam felt embarrassed so he ran to his room, and shortly after James followed. Mary looked at Sam's retreating form sadly. She turned back to Mercedes. "He'll come around. He's a little embarrassed. Why don't you come over tomorrow after school for some cookies and milk and you and Sam can talk things through?"

Mercedes felt tears come to her eyes and turned to go inside with Courtney on her heels. Both parents could hear Mercedes ask Court why Sam hated her so much." Amelia sighed. "Those two, what are we gonna do with them?"

"I think this will make their friendship stronger. It's clear that they care about each other a lot. Just give it sometime I guess." Mary hoped time was all they needed. "Anyway, I have to get started with dinner. And I meant what I said about Mercedes coming over for cookies and milk, if she wants to of course."

“I will make sure she is there, they are too close to let them define their friendship.” Hugging Mary, Amelia made her way to Mercedes room, she and Court were in the bathroom washing off the mud. Amelia sighed as Mercedes looked at her. “I am still very upset with you girl's but I do understand what happened.” Mercedes looked down at her hands picking at the mud. “He replaced me.” She said softly. “Me and Court wanted to include him but he replaced me…” Amelia moved closer to hug her. “Sweetie boys are complicated at this age, well at every age. So just go over there tomorrow and give it time.”

After Sam and James washed up, Mary called them to help her with dinner while the twins sat in their high chairs. "So Sam, I'm sorry you and Mercedes had a falling out. But you do understand that she wanted for you to also be friends with Courtney. And you know she wouldn't replace you right?" Sam nodded. "I want to be her friend. It was just hard sharing her. She's my bestest friend." Mary smiled sadly at him. "Maybe you should tell her that tomorrow."

After dinner, james mom picked him up and Sam went to his room. He hoped that Mercedes would forgive him. He didnt mean for anything to turn into a fight. Sam wasn't the best at expressing himself, so he drew Mercedes a 'I'm sorry' card. He drew them on the Swings at Mercedes backyard. He was pushing her. That was the first time they played together. He wrote, Dear Mercedes, you are my bestest friend in the whole world. I am sorry how I treated you. I should not have given James you seat. Please forgive me, Your best friend, Sam Evans." He climbed out his window carefully, and crossed the lawn to Mercedes window. He knocked, hoping that she wasn't sleeping yet.

After they got cleaned, Courtney headed home and Mercedes helped clean the windows. Once they were done and dinner was finished, Mercedes made her way to her room. She hated that Sam seemed to hate her now, and gave James her seat. Right now she just figured she had a hard time letting go when she was hurt, in the future she would learn it was just her petty nature. Getting ready for bed she heard a knock and went to the window. She saw Sam and folded her arms. “What do you want?”

Sam could see that Mercedes was still mad at him and he couldn't blame her. "I made you a card. Just wanted to say I'm sorry. I leave it out here if you want to read it." He turned to leave letting his card do the talking for him.

Mercedes watched Sam walk away and opened her window fully to take the card. She read it and smiled. Sam knew her and knew what she liked. She didn’t go after him, she would talk to him tomorrow.

The next day, Mercedes was happy to make her way over to Sam’s. She was ready to forgive him and move on and maybe they could all be friends, well everyone except James, she hated james. She knocked on his door and waited for him to answer.

Mary took the cookies out of the oven and went to answer the door. "Hi Mercedes. Come in." Mary closed the door behind her and called Sam. "Sammy. Mercedes is here!" Sam came bouncing to the front door. He was happy to see her but he didn't know what to say. "Well, I'll let you two talk while the cookies cool off." Mary made her way to the kitchen. "Um, I just want to say sorry for being jealous of you making new friends." Sam felt embarrassed, but at least he got it out of the way.

Looking at Sam as she came inside she searched to see if James was there. Mercedes heard his apology and sighed. “I am sorry for squirting you and throwing mud...at you...though not sorry about doing it to James.” She said honestly.

A small smile came across Sam's face. "So can we be friends again? James won't sit in your seat anymore." Sam felt bad that Mercedes was still mad at James. It was his fault that James sat their. He'll just tell James to apologize the next time they see each other.

Mercedes hesitated for a moment then smiled softly. “Yes we can be friends again.” She said moving towards the kitchen. She would tell him not to let James near her seat again tomorrow for today she was happy with it being just the two of them.

Once I was 7 Years Old || Samcedes

Who: 7 year old Mercedes Jones and Sam Evans

What: Mercedes moves into her new home and meets her new neighbor Sam.

Where: Mercedes Jones home in Baltimore, MD

Notes: None

@thelegendevans

Mercedes Jones stared at her new room. When her parents told her that they would be moving and she would be starting a new school, she was excited but also nervous. She didn’t know anyone and First Grade was scary enough without having to be the only new kid in class. Moving towards her huge bay window, she glanced out, looking across into the house next door and seeing someone staring back at her. Shutting the curtain’s quickly she panicked, only to open then again seeing a little blonde boy staring at her.

Sam was playing with his Power Rangers set, happy that it didn't get damaged during the move. Even though they moved here a few weeks ago, there were boxes everywhere. His mom was pregnant with his little brother and sister so she couldn't move around much or get to the boxes. His dad started his new job right away so he didn't have time to unpack either. The Power Rangers were easy to get because they were in his little book bag. And although he loved them, he wished his other toys were unpacked. As he was playing he noticed movement in the house next to his. He saw a little kid that looked like his age. His eyes lit up as he went to ask his mom if he could play outside. At her nod, he ran outside and went to the window where the girl was and knocked. He hoped she like Power Rangers.

Mercedes shut the curtain when he ran out of the room and shook her head. He was hyper. She went to her bed. Her lavender room was complemented with her white lace canopy bed. She grabbed her barbie, still waiting for her dad to bring up her barbie dream house when she heard a knock on her window. Walking to it she smiled seeing the boy. "Hi." She said, chubby cheeks cheesing and showing her missing front teeth.

Sam’s smile widened when the girl came to the window. “Hi!, I’m Sam. Sam, I am, and I don’t like green eggs and ham!” Sam hoped she found him funny. He worked on that opening all week with his mother. She assured him that it would help him make friends faster. “Do you want to be my friend? We can play with my Power Rangers set. I have all of them. The green ranger is my favorite.” Sam smiled and tried to remember to let her talk, but he was too excited.

Mercedes eyed him as he talked. He talked fast. But his joke made her laugh. "Dr. Sueuss. I love to read." She held up her black barbie. "This is my favorite toy her name is Michelle and she is a doctor. Maybe she can heal the green power ranger if he is sick."

Sam frowned. “The green ranger doesn’t get sick. He’s super strong.” He emphasized by pointing to the green power ranger’s muscle. “Anyway, do you want to play with me?”

Mercedes rolled her eyes. “Everyone gets sick!” She said smartly. “Poppa said so and he knows everything.” She opened her window wider. “You wanna swing? My uncle just helped put up the swing in the back.”

Sam didn’t care what her father said, Power Rangers didn’t get sick. “Yea, we can swing, I’ll push you first, and then you push me. Do you have a tire swing? That’s my favorite.” Sam waited for her to climb out the window before following her to the swing set. He couldn’t wait for his parents to set up his swing set.

Mercedes ran to her door. “I’m going out back!!” She yelled as she ran back to the window and outside. Going to the swing set she beamed brightly. “We have the seesaw swing and other swings and we have a slide. I can’t wait for them to put my treehouse cause its gonna be my secret club.” She sat on the swing so Sam could push her first.

Sam’s eyes lit up when he saw her swing set. His swing set wasn’t like hers, at least he didn’t think so. He ran behind her swing and began to push her. “Hold on tight. My mom said I’m getting super strong, but I’ll try not to push you too high.”

Mercedes laughed as he began to push her. “Higher!!! I wanna fly.” She squealed as Sam continued to push her. She really loved the swing it made her feel so high.

Sam used all his strength in his push to get her as high as she can. “It would be awesome if you could fly,” Sam said with a big grin. “If I could have a superpower, it would be flying. Then I can go anywhere I want. He pushes the swing again before asking, “What would your superpower be?”

Mercedes laughed. “Flying too!!! Really really high so I can spit on my brothers for being mean to me.” She laughed. After a few more moments she was ready to get down and give Sam his turn. “Okay, your turn!” She said moving her feet out so she could slow down.

Sam laughed at her when she said she wanted to spit on her brothers. If he had older brothers that were mean to him, he would do the same thing. But soon he would be the older, brother, and he hoped his new brother and sister wouldn’t think he was mean. Not hearing Mercedes, he went on to push her again, hard, while still talking, oblivious to what was going on. “I hope my brother and sister don’t think I’m mean when they get older.”

Mercedes moved to hop off the swing when Sam pushed her hard. She flew off the swing landing in the dirt on her arm and she screamed out in pain.

Sam’s eyes widen when he heard Mercedes scream. He didn’t mean to push her that hard. But before he could go to her, adults were rushing out of the house. Sam couldn’t stop the tears stinging his eyes.

Amelia Jones heard that scream and knew nothing good was happening. She ran outside, to see Mercedes on the ground in tears and a little boy standing over her with a worried look on his face. “Oh Mercy, honey what happened?” Mercedes sniffled as her mom helped her up. “He pushed me hard and.. and I fell off the swing.” she cried. “My arm hurts.”

Mary Evans heard a scream and rushed out with one hand protectively on her swollen 8-month belly. She was worried that Sam had gotten hurt. Buy the time she reached the back yard, she saw Sam looking so worried with tears in his eyes, and a little girl crying in her mother’s arms. Mary wobbled to the scene and immediately wrapped her arms around her son, before addressing the little girl and her mother. “Is she okay?” Sam interrupts his mother. “Mom, I didn’t mean to make her fall. I’m sorry.” Mary kisses Sam on the head, before turning to the girl and her mother. “Is there anything we can do?”

Amelia smiled looking over to Sam and his mother. “It was an accident, pretty sure she just sprained her wrist, it’s okay.” She said directing the last part to Sam. She stood smiling at Mary. “What a way to meet huh? I am Amelia Jones, and this is my daughter, Mercedes. We just moved here with my husband and two older boys.” She said dusting Mercedes off and wiping her tears.

“Well, nice to meet you, I’m Mary Evans, and this is my son Sam Evans.” She said smiling down at her now tear-free son. “We moved here three weeks ago. And it’s good to see that Sam has made a new friend so fast.” Mary looks at Mercedes and smiles at her. “And you seem like a brave big girl Mercedes.” She turns to Sam. “And what do you say to Mercedes Sam?” Sam lowers his head and speaks low. “I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention.”

Mercedes continued to sniffle as Sam spoke. “It’s okay.” She said softly moving closer to her mom as she held her wrist. Amelia looked at Mary’s stomach. “Well, it looks like you guys will be welcoming another baby soon. Are you excited, Sam?”

Sam nods but doesn’t say anything else. “Yea, we’re expecting two more babies. A boy and a girl.” Mary looks back at Sam and decides to take him for lunch. “Well, we will let you go to take care of Mercedes. It’s lunchtime for Sam. But if you ever need anything, you can just ring the bell. May take me a while to get to the door though.” Mary joked.

Amelia laughed. “Yes go right ahead we are going to get our arm checked, right Mercy.” Mercedes nodded tearfully. Her arm really hurt. Amelia smiled back up. “You guys have a nice night, we really should do dinner though.” Amelia pulled Mercedes closer and waved as they walked into the house. Looking back at Sam, Mercedes sniffled following her mom.

____________________________________________________________________________

Mercedes was awoken by her mom, she was given the children Tylenol for her sprained wrist and it had been wrapped and in a brace since the accident a few days ago. She hadn’t felt much like playing so she just stayed in her room. Though her dad felt bad for her and put a TV there. She sat up as her mom left, promising that if Mercedes left her room, she could have a cookie with her lunch. It was a last-ditch effort to try and lift Mercedes spirits but nothing did she was just sad.

Mary was in the kitchen making breakfast for her and Sam since Dwight had to head in early. She called Sam down and smiled sadly at him. “Why the long face? Are you still upset about Mercedes?” It’s been a few days, and Sam hasn’t smiled since the incident. “I just feel so bad that I hurt my new friend.” Sam sat at the bar stool in the kitchen head in his hands. “Sam, it was an accident.” Mary knew that her words weren’t getting through to her son. “How about if you do something special for Mercedes. For the first time, since the accident, Sam smiled and his eyes lit up. “Mom, do we have construction paper and my art supplies? I want to make Mercedes a card.” Mary helped Sam find his art supplies and watched as he began drawing. Mary decided to make a cake to go with the card as well as a welcome to the neighborhood gesture. After an hour, Sam was ready to head over to the Jones house. “Mom!! Hurry up!” Mary put the cake in her cake dish, and she and Sam headed to the Jones house. She rung the bell, while Sam was hopping up and down in excitement.

Amelia sighed as Mercedes sat on the sofa quietly, she didn’t know what else she could do to cheer her daughter up. Nothing seemed to work. Not even Beauty and the Beast and that always cheered her up. She had finally gotten Mercedes out her room with the promise of once she felt better they would go to the water park, but Mercedes still wasn’t in a good mood. Thankfully her brothers were away at camp for the week or she knew things would be worse. Hearing the doorbell she kissed Mercedes’s forehead and walked too it. Seeing Sam and Mary she opened the door and smiled brightly. “Well hey guys, what brings you over here?”

Mary smiled when Amelia opened the door. "Well Sam feels terrible that he hurt Mercedes, so he made her a get well soon card." Mary smiled encouraging her son. He shows Amelia the card. "Can you give this to Mercedes Mrs. Jones? And tell her it's from Sam? We also made a cake." Mary lifted the cover off the container. It’s Chocolate fudge cake. I hope she isn't allergic or anything."

Amelia smiled. “I think Mercedes would really love that card. How about you take it to her, and I help your mom to the kitchen and get her off her feet.” She moved so they could come in. “Mercedes is in the living room go right in Sam. And you momma come with me, I have some tea with your name on it.” She said taking the cake from Mary.

Sam smiled at Amelia and left his mother to go give Mercedes the card he made for her. He hoped that she liked it. Sam entered the living room nervously. When he saw Mercedes, he took a deep breath before speaking. "Um--- hi Mercedes. I made you a card. In sorry for hurting you and I hope you feel better soon, so we can play again."

Mercedes sat there staring at the teapot singing when she heard Sam. Looking over to him sat up taking the card with her uninjured hand. “You draw really good Sam.” She said after a while. “Thank you.” She held up her arm. “It doesn’t hurt as much. But I can’t play yet.” She said sadly.

Sam nodded seeing the brace on her arm. "Don't be sad, we can do other things besides playing." He saw Beauty and the Beast on the TV. "Maybe I can watch TV with you? And my mom made a chocolate cake. We can have a slice with some milk. I can get everything if you want." He was determined to show her that they can still have fun.

Mercedes nodded. “You can watch with me! It was just getting to the best part.” She said moving for him to sit with her. “I like chocolate cake almost as much as I like yellow cake!” She said smiling for the first time.”

Sam smile big, glad that she was smiling back at him. "Okay let me get everything!" Sam ran to the kitchen and up to his mother and Mrs. Jones. Mercedes and I are going to watch a movie, but we want cake and milk. Do you have a tray that I can put everything on and carry into the living room?" Mary smiled at how excited Sam was. “I'm sorry Amelia. When Sam has his mindset on something, he gets overly excited."

Amelia smiled down at Sam. “I do have a tray that I think will be perfect.” She said standing and grabbing two plates. Handing them to Mary to cut the kids slices, she grabbed two cups of Milk and placed them on a tray with two carrying handles. “Are you sure you don’t need any help?”

Sam nodded enthusiastically. "I'm really strong. I won't drop it. I promise." Mary chuckled while cutting two nice size slices of cake and put them on the plates with two plastic forks. "Sam please be careful." Sam rolled his eyes. "I will mom. I promise." Mary placed the tray in Sam's hands, steadying them before letting go. Sam made sure to walk extra slow so nothing spilled. Once in the living room, he placed the tray on the coffee table. "Ready to eat?" He asked Mercedes excitedly.

Amelia smiled brightly watching Sam walk away. “How cute would it be if those two got married one day?”

Mary smiled at the thought. Sam never took to anyone the way he took to Mercedes. "Only time will tell."

Mercedes looked up and smiled. “I paused for you. Do you want me to start it over?” She pulled her blanket closer. “This is my Mulan Blanket, I really like that movie too.” She said softly.

Sam nodded and sat next to Mercedes under her Mulan blanket. "My favorite movie is Aladdin. I love the genie. But Beauty and the Beast is my second favorite movie, also Lion King. I hope the cake makes you feel better."

“I like Aladdin too! I have that and Mulan, Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty. OOoooo and Lion King. But my brother destroyed Snow White. I'm glad they’re gone right now.” She took a bite of the cake. “This is so good your mom is a good baker.” She scooted over to Sam and smiled as she started Beauty and the Beast again finally feeling better about everything.

Cold Feet? Part 2|| Jourt, Samcedes

Tagging: James Matthews, Courtney Holland, Sam Evans, and Mercedes Jones.

Where: Wedding Chapel

When: June 13, 2017

What: James and Court’s wedding day has a few surprises

Court knew that the silence wasn't a good sign. She figured that they were either shocked on surprised by her confession. But it could also mean that they didn't hear her the first time. So she decided to repeat herself. “I asked Laura to alter the results so that it showed Miguel being the father instead of Sam.” She braced herself for their reactions, especially Mercedes.

Sam heard her loud and clear the first time. The second time just pissed him off even more. "So you're saying that all this time I was afraid. of getting too attached to Laya and she was mine. I was afraid to love this little girl with everything I had because I thought that Miguel could just take her from me since she was his. Why? Am I that bad that you thought that I had no rights to be a father to her? I know I fucked up, but that doesn't mean that I would be a bad father to Laya. She's my own flesh and blood! How could you Court? Is your hatred for me that bad?" Sam was pissed and he didn't know if he would calm down at all. She had no idea what she did.

Mercedes wasn't sure what to say or do after hearing Court's confession. In that moment her mind went back to all of the bad things Court had ever done to her and she couldn't think of one. Court was always the one who had her back, the one who was there for her when she thought she lost Sam. When she found out she was pregnant, when she had Laya. Court was there. So to hear her say that she had the paternity results changed, it broke her. She couldn't move from her spot, she couldn't see past the tears in her eyes or her heart breaking at the thought of Sam missing out on his daughter.

James moved closer to Sam and shook his head putting a comforting arm around his best friend. "Sam wait I am sure there is a logical reason for all this." He turned towards Court. "Baby come on tell me, tell us that this is a joke. I know that you wouldn't do something like this. Not when a child is involved not ever."

Court wanted to tell them it wasn't true so bad. She wanted to tell them it was a joke more than anything. She wanted to forget about everything and walked down the aisle with James. But she knew she couldn't do that. She knew that she had to be honest. The hurt look in all their eyes was a little too much for her to bare. She hurt them all when all she thought she was doing was looking out for Mercedes. Mercedes was her number one concern and she was so afraid that Sam would hurt her again. "Sam I’m so sorry. I didn't mean for all this to happen. I just wanted Cedes to be free from stress. I did this for her, but I never meant to hurt you in the process. Now you know. Now you can love Laya freely and be a family." her voiced cracked but she didn't want to cry. "I'm so sorry." She tore her eyes from Sam and focused on her love. James please, I'm sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing by Cedes. She looked at Mercedes and wanted so bad to hug her. "Cedes, I never meant to hurt you. That's the last thing that I wanted to do.

Sam didn't want to hear James finding an excuse for her actions. "She did do it because she is a manipulative bitch. You don't play with people's lives because you don't like how it turned out. All of this had nothing to do with you. it was between Merce, and I. Not Courtney." Sam looked at Mercedes and his heart was breaking at the sadness he saw in her. He walked over to her and embraced her. "Baby, it will be okay. Nothing's change." He kissed the top of her head and held her, but he knew that pretty soon her anger would probably push him away.

Mercedes barely noticed Sam standing next to her until he kissed her forehead. She should have felt calm with Sam holding her, he always had that effect on her. But she wasn't calm. She was pissed and she was trying her best not to speak while she was angry. But all it took was one look at Court and everything came flooding to the surface. She moved from Sam's embrace and moved closer to Courtney. "You're sorry? You never meant to hurt me? Never meant to hurt Sam? You knew how much I loved him, how much I missed him and even when I told you I wasn't in love with Miguel you pushed him on me. Made me believe that if Sam loved me he wouldn't have left. That Miguel was better and when I told you that I was sure Laya was Sam's you told me I was crazy and now I find out that you changed the paternity results? You played with my life and my daughter's life? That's your Goddaughter!" Anger overtook her and she lifted her hand to slap Courtney across the face. "YOUR GODDAUGHTER COURT! YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT HER!" Mercedes shook her head angrily. She looked at Court and couldn't take it. She just turned away from her and walked out the room.

James was about to speak up when he heard Mercedes speak. He had never seen her so quiet, and he knew that wasn't good. Then Mercedes erupted and everything happened so fast. One minute she was talking the next slapping and yelling. James moved to Court immediately. Seeing Mercedes walk out of the room he went to Court and tried to hug her. "Court are you ok? I know you love us by why would you do that?"

Court knew she deserved everything that Mercedes dished at her which is why she didn't respond when she smacked her. She knew that she deserved that and more. When Mercedes left, she wanted to go after her but James was there. "Baby, I didn't mean.... I thought I was doing the right thing. I didn't mean for it to be like this especially on the day that's supposed to be the happiest day of ours lives. Baby, so sorry."

Sam couldn't stop Mercedes from slapping Court, but in all honesty, he didn't want to. She deserved it and he felt no sympathy towards her. Sam ran out after Mercedes not able to stand being in that room with Court any longer. "Baby," he caught up to her and pulled her into an empty room. He pulled her to him and just kissed her like it was his last kissed. He wanted all the anger to leave her so they could have a rational talk. He deepened the kiss and cupped her her face, wanting it to last as long as it could.

Mercedes heard Sam but was too angry to stop she needed to get away from that place. But Sam pulling her into an empty room and attacking her lips stopped her. She fought against him only for a few seconds before giving into the kiss. She hated and loved how he knew exactly what to do to calm her. She wrapped her arms around his waist kissing him just as deep and pulling him closer. She could feel her love for him overshadowing her anger.

James watched Sam go after Mercedes and he sighed. "Well this is a fine mess. But its nothing that can't be fixed. Baby I know you weren't doing this to be mean but I am not sure how you could have thought changing the test was a good idea. You love Mercy I know you do but sometimes you think you know what is best for her and you don't want her to be heart broken or hurt. I know that thing are dark right now but if you truly are sorry then talk to her and don't let her walk away you guys have been friends for far to long to let it end like this."

Court knew that James was right but she didn't think that Mercedes would talk to her. "I'll talk to her in a minute, I need to let her cool down anyway. What about us? Will we get through this okay?"

Sam felt her fighting and then felt her relaxing into the kiss. He knew shew as calming down and that's how he wanted her to be. He hated her upset and talking to her while she was upset wouldn't do anything. He slowly pulled away and gave her tiny kisses along her jawline to her neck. "Feel better baby?" He asked as he continued kissing and sucking her neck trying to leave his mark.

Mercedes closed her eyes as the kiss continued and kept them closed as he moved to her jaw, hitting the spot on her neck that made her weak. "Mmhmm." Was all she could make out she needed to pull away from him but she couldn't she loved the way he made her feel. She sighed against him. "I love you so much Sam."

James moved closer to her and lifted her head to his. "That is probably for the best because she might try to slap you again." He tilted his face to hers and placed a gentle kiss to her lips. "We will get through this. Court you have seen me through my worst and this doesn't even come close. I love you and one mistake will never change that."

Court was so grateful that James was by her side. She loved him and loved the man that he became. She knew they would get through this, but she felt that she owed Mercedes and Sam. "Baby, how am I going to fix this with them? I think that I owe them. Look at what I put them through. I need to make it up to them, I just don't know how."

Sam pulled away from her and smiled. "I love you too, and I know what Court did it messed up, but I'm glad the truth is out now. We have a beautiful family and Laya is mine and she can have my last name and my name on her birth certificate. Sam choked up at the thought of her having his last name. Everything was perfect to him. "I love you so much Mercedes, and I wanted to wait until tonight when we were alone but now seems like the perfect time. Well not really since I know you're pissed, but I can't wait." He got down on one knee and took the ring that he has been carrying around for the last two weeks and presented it to her. "Merce, we have been through hell and back, but you're the love of my life. I love you more than my next breath. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I want you to have my last name. Will you do the honor of becoming my wife?"

Mercedes smiled slightly hearing Sam talk about giving Laya his last name. Its what she wanted, always wanted. She saw Sam rambling and stared wondering what was going on until he got on one knee. She stepped back with a gasp and felt herself began to cry once again but this time tears of joy. She saw the ring and couldn't speak, she was afraid of how her voice would sound if she tried to speak. Mercedes nodded yes holding her hand out to Sam.

James held her closer. "You do owe them, but only you know how you can make it up to them. You are Mercedes best friend. I know you know her better than anyone so only you can know how to fix this but I have so much faith in you, and I will support you in whatever you choose." He kissed the tip of her nose. "Unless you try to give them our honeymoon i have to draw the line at that." He said with a laugh.

Court did know how to make it up to them. She laughed at James and was amazed at how he could make her laugh no matter how bad she was feeling. "Well not our honeymoon because believe me when I tell you that I am going to rock your world tonight. But I do think I have an idea and I will tell her when we they come back, or maybe we can go look for them."

Sam was happy that she nodded, but he needed her to say yes. Only then would he know that this was becoming a reality "Baby, I need to hear you say it. Please."

Mercedes wiped her eyes, lifting her dress and going to her knees to be face to face with Sam. "I have been in love with you since I was 16. At least that is when I realized I was in love with you. But I think I was before then. We grew up together and you are my best friend, you have meant everything to me even when we were not together. I love you I need you and I can't think of anything I have ever wanted more than being your wife. So yes Samuel Evans I will be your wife. I will be your everything."

James kissed her. "Promises, Promises." He looked around the room and sighed. "We better go find them for two reasons. One I saw the look on Sam's face and if they are alone for to long lets just say we don't want to walk in on that. And two I want to hurry up and get you back down that isle. You have stalled long enough."

Court chuckled at James. She really wasn't looking forward to seeing Mercedes. She was scared of what was going to happen when they came face to face again. She bashfully smiled up at James. "I love you and I don't want to stall anymore. I feel better that everything is out in the open." She took his hand and began their little journey to find Sam and Mercedes. "I really don't think Sam will be trying anything. Mercedes is too pissed to have sex with Sam anyway."

Sam couldn't stop the tears from falling at her words. He knew that she loved him just as much as he loved her. He already knew everything she said. He just needed her to say it and he was glad that she did. She meant so much to him and he was looking forward to starting a new life with her. He slid the ring on her finger and pulled her into a deep heated kiss. He made sure that everything he was feeling was felt. "I love you so much baby." he said against her lips.

Mercedes kissed him back holding him close. Yes she was still upset but who could really be angry when the man of your dreams gives you everything you wanted and more. She was going to be Sam's wife. Mrs. Evans. They wasted so much time she was just happy they didn't waste anymore. "I love you too."

James laughed. "Yeah then you don't know Sam. Hell if tensions weren't so high, I would've snuck you out of here and had my way with you." He followed behind her in search for Sam and Mercedes, hoping they could all put this behind them and just move forward.

Court just shook her head at James. She secretly wondered if Sam was too busy thinking of sexing Mercy down then thinking of the problem at hand. She walked down the hall in hopes of finding them. She decided to open each door one by one to see if they had gone into one of the private rooms. "Babe, do you know where they could be at?" She asked before opening yet another door. She was glad to see that she had the right room and smiled at them awkwardly seeing them on the floor kissing. Court didn't know what to say so she said the most naturally thing that came to mind. "Hey."

Sam kissed her so more but before he could get into it, the sound of Court's voice stopped him in his tracks. He stood up and helped Mercedes stand up also. He really didn't know what to expect with this two, but he knew he didn't want them fighting or anything. He looked at James and gave him a head nod, but he said nothing to Court. He had nothing to say to her at all.

Mercedes allowed Sam to help her up and she wiped her eyes turning towards Court and James. Mercedes wanted to hate her, she wanted to cuss her out and just leave but she couldn't. Because Court was still her best friend and because she was finally happy. She sighed looking at her friend and cleared her throat. "What are you doing here? shouldn't you guys be speaking your vows right now?"

James nodded back at Sam, he knew his best friend was angry and all he could do was pray Sam would get over it. If they were all gonna be one big happy family, they needed to put this to bed.

Court looked at Sam and knew he didn't want her there. But when she looked at Mercedes, it looked like she was trying to forgive her. "Yea, but you're still my maid of honor and Sam is the best man and it wouldn't be right without you guys there." Court hated the mess she created and wished there was a quick fix. She took in the scene not knowing what else to say, but something caught her eye when Mercedes wiped her eyes. A ring. "Mercedes, is that a ring?"

Sam didn't want to hear anything from Court. He just wanted to take Mercedes home and make sweet passionate love to her all night long. He tuned her out until Court asked about Mercedes ring. "Yup, despite you interference, Mercedes and I are getting married. We love each other and our love had stood the test of time."

Mercedes took Sam's hand in hers, she knew he was pissed and she didn't want that for him. She moved closer to him kissing his cheek then looking at Court. "Yeah Sam asked me to marry him. I know we are, but with everything that happened I just...Court how could you do that? How could you lie like that?"

James wanted to congratulate them but he knew things needed to be worked out before the celebration. He heard Mercedes question and hoped Court could say something anything to make things better.

Court knew that it would take time for Sam to forgive her. "Merce, I honestly thought I was doing the right thing. I love you so much and your happiness means more to me than anything else in the world besides James. I honestly thought that Sam was going to break your heart like he did so many times before. But I see how wrong I was and that no matter what, I shouldn't have hid the truth from you and Sam. He deserved a fair chance to be their for Laya and I screwed that up and I'm so sorry."

Sam didn't want to hear her excuses. Him breaking Mercedes heart two years before he found out about Laya didn't justify her behavior. He hated how she thought so low of him. If anyone knew Sam, they knew he was a family man and that his family was his first priority. There was nothing that he wouldn't do for family. He didn't say anything. He knew Mercedes and James would forgive her, but he had no loyalty to her anymore and he wasn't going to forgive her any time soon. So he stayed quiet and let Mercedes talk to her.

Mercedes shook her head. "I don't get it. James was, no offense, but the biggest asshole ever. He sexed anything that walked and cheated multiple times on his girlfriends and yet, you gave him a chance to change, when you and he got together I was against it but I knew you were happy so I let it go. But why couldn't you show Sam the same courtesy you showed James? You could have ruined us. What if Sam left after learning Laya wasn't his? What if he couldn't give me another chance? Laya would have spent her whole life not knowing who Sam was."

James really wasn't offended by Mercedes comment, it was true he wasn't the most honest or trustworthy guy, but Court saw past it. So he was curious why if Mercedes could let them be happy, that Court couldn't let her and Sam be happy.

Court didn't have an answer for Mercedes. "Yea, James wasn't the best example of an honest person, but he never hurt me or broke my heart. He always treated me with respect. Sam never did those things for you. He led you and Laura on. He seemed like he had no problem doing it either. I know that doesn't make you feel better, but I didn't want Laya growing up with her father constantly hurting her mother. I really did have your best interest at heart."

Sam heard enough. He was even more angry, but it wasn't at Court. It was more at himself. He was mad for just running away from the situation instead of just trying to fix it. If he was man enough to stay, then maybe Court wouldn't have thought so lowly of him. Maybe he would have made the connection with him and Laya sooner. Maybe Mercedes would have feel more comfortable telling him. It was his fault just as much if not more than Court. "No one seems to think of Laya when we make decisions. It's all for our own benefit, not really hers. I'm guilty of that, so is Mercedes and so are you Court. It's just something that we have to come to terms with."

Mercedes shook her head. "It was more than that Court. Yes Sam hurt me yes we all made choices that would benefit us and not Laya but when you think about it, the whole situation was a difficult one. Sam never knew how I felt about him, and I never knew how he felt about me. So when everything went down, none of us knew how to handle it. I should have listened to myself and not you, I wanted Sam but you wanted Miguel for me and he was and still is great. I can't say anything bad against him because he was here for me when I felt alone but he wasn't Sam. If you could have seen that, seen how much I needed him, you would have helped us instead of blocking our relationship at every turn. Maybe the way Sam treated me was wrong, but the way you treated him was wrong too."

James sighed. "Look guys this is not something we will fix overnight. There is a lot of hurt here and a lot of pain that will take time to heal. I just think its time to finally put the past behind us. Finally be the people we all know we are capable of. We need to start fresh. make a new start, all of us."

Court didn't know what else to say to make Mercedes understand how sorry she was. Court agreed with James, things weren't going to get fix over night, but she wanted to make it up to Mercedes and Sam. They deserved happiness after everything she put them through. "I want to go down the aisle and marry the man of my dreams and Mercy, I want you to do the same. Today. Marry Sam. We can have a double wedding. What do you think about that?"

Sam heard Court, but didn't believe what she was saying. "A double wedding? Today?" Sam loved the idea. Their parents were already there and so was Laya. It was perfect. He turned to Mercedes to see what she thought. "Baby, what do you think about us getting married today?"

Mercedes heard Court but shook her head. "No I can't we aren't ready, we literally just got engaged and I mean this is your day with James and I can't take that away from you..." Her voice trailed as she noticed the hope in Sam's eyes. She knew this was what he wanted but were they ready? She knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Sam and maybe this was meant to be, but was she really ready to do this?

James smiled. "Baby that is perfect! I can't think of anything better than getting married to the love of my life and woman of my dreams, with my best friend Standing next to me Marrying the love of his life and woman of his dreams. You guys have to do this."

Court shook her head. "Yea, you just got engaged, but do you really want to wait to married the man of your dreams? Do you really want to put off being a complete family? Like Sam already said, your parents are here, Laya is here and your wedding dress is already at the dress shop. We can have that down here in 20 minutes. Sam already has his tux on. Why wait?"

Sam thought that Court was making some good points. But he was a little confused. "What do you mean she already has a wedding dress? Never Mind. Baby, I don't want to wait any longer to marry you. We already live together, so why not get married?"

Mercedes sighed looking over from Sam to Court then back at Sam. "This is crazy, this is sudden and..." Mercedes bit her bottom lip, yeah it was sudden but maybe this was what was supposed to happen. She sighed and took Sam's hand in hers. "I can sit here and make up excuses as to why this is crazy but truth is I can't wait to make you my husband. I love you and can't wait to become Mrs. Evans."

James smiled widely. "Sam lets go tell our guests what is going on and let these girls get your bride to be dressed. Before they both change their mind." James pulled Sam with him, while going to kiss Court on the cheek. "You better be down that aisle in 30 beautiful, I have been waiting too long to make you my wife."
