The Model & The Singer

Chapter 25

Stevie squirmed and fought in Sam's hold as the photographer continued to take pictures, this time of the teen as he had an angry look upon his face. "Who are you? And why are you trying to attack me because I snapped a picture of Mercedes Jones and this guy?" The photographer asked.

"Are you kidding me?" Stevie yelled. "Let me go!" "That's enough!" Dwight scorned Stevie, causing the teen to stop moving. Sam carefully let his little brother down on his feet as his dad stepped up to the photographer. "Excuse my son, please. We're on vacation and he's a big fan of Miss Jones. He just got excited when he saw her, then got defensive when he saw you snapping pictures of her."

The photographer's face fell and seemed a bit let down there was no scoop. He shrugged a bit and looked down at his camera as he started to delete the pictures. "No problem." He said before he glanced back at Mercedes. "But Mercedes Jones, why are you here?" He asked as he started to back up trying to get a good angle when bumped into a metal trashcan against the railing.

The photographer went crashing backward, dropping his camera. Mercedes quickly went to get help as Sam got his family out the way. A couple of security officers arrived with Mercedes to help the photographer. But he refused their help, he stumbled trying to get up, causing him to step all over his camera.

Before he knew it other photographers were taking pictures of him refusing help from Mercedes and the officers as he destroyed his very expensive camera.

By the time Mercedes arrived at the private car, the driver helped her in the back seat, the Evans family was very quiet. She glanced at them while the driver drove them away from the airport.

"Mercedes," Mary began with a stern look on her face, focused on Stevie. "Stevie has something to say. Don't you?" Stevie nodded his head slowly before clearing his throat to speak. "Mercedes, I am so sorry that I acted like that and embarrassed you. It won't happen again." He said.

She smiled at him and reached over to give him a hug. "Thank you, Stevie. And you didn't embarrass me. I was actually angry that what was supposed to be a private, sweet family moment for you was ruined by some paparazzi looking for a story."

The Evans family glanced at her in surprise while Sam sat back and smiled. His dad glanced at him. "Son, why are you smiling?" Dwight asked. "Because, you all are going to learn when it comes to Mercedes, that if she has to choose between people like that and people like you. It will be you every time." Sam told her.

All eyes were on Mercedes, which caused the singer to blush. She glanced to see the twins grinning, the parents gushing, and Sam looking full of pride. Secretly, each time she talks to the Evans family she falls in love with all of them.

They remind her of the Hummel family. And Dwight and Mary Evans reminded her of her late parents. Thoughts of her parents, as well as the Hummels and Evans, let her know how lonely she was. Not lonely of friends, friends of family, and family adopting her.

But having her own family. The happiness upon her face started to fade as she remembered the text from her brother. She was deep in thought when a gentle hand touched her shoulder, bringing her from her thoughts. Mercedes glanced up to see Sam outside the car looking at her with concern, while his family was on the sidewalk giving her the same expression.

"Mercy, are you okay?" He asked her before helping her out of the car. The driver got out and helped with the luggage as Sam stood face to face with her. She glanced up at him, trying to find the words. She decided to remain quiet and moved away to head to the door and unlock it for everyone to enter.

Sam stayed in the back as he watched his family get settled in with Mercedes. She talked to everyone and let them get comfortable when her cellphone rang. "Hello?" Mercedes answered. "Hi, Lauren. What? When?"

Sam noticed Mercedes with a shocked look upon her face as she let the phone move away from her ear. He moved passed his siblings and parents before he headed towards her to grab the phone. "Hello, Zizes? What's wrong?" He asked.

"Sam? I was telling Mercedes that I learned from Santana that it's hit the fan." Lauren stated. "What has hit the fan?" He asked, getting worried. "She found out from a source of hers that Noah has given a tell-all-interview about her family life and the fact her brother is in town to sell her a baby named Tamera." She told him.

"What!" Sam yelled, gaining his family's attention. "Have you called everyone?" Lauren got up and she adjusted her cell against her ear. "Yeah, we'll all be at her house soon." Sam sighed and nodded. "Good. We're here. See you soon." Sam hung up Mercedes' phone before he pulled out his own and dialed Santana. "San, are you on your way here? To Mercedes' home?" He asked her.

"Yeah," Santana stated. "But Sam, this is really bad. My source said Christian is looking for a legal way to deal with everything. He has a lawyer. And he's coming after Mercedes."

Christian sat in the law office of Blaine Anderson as he was going to not only take care of this baby mama drama but also his dim-witted sister. All the attention and the inheritance his parents spent on her still pisses him off to this day. So killing two birds with one stone is an act of perfect revenge. He felt his phone receive a notification from a tmz app. He saw an interview article from Noah Puckerman talking about his sister's secrets.

The more he read, the bigger the smile appeared on his lips. Once he finished, Blaine Anderson walked into his luxury office and sat down in his chair. "Mr. Jones, are you ready to begin legal proceedings?" Blaine asked.

Christian sat up straight before he nodded. Yeah, I am. In fact, I just read something that will help our case." He told the attorney before handing him his phone to read.

While Blaine read the article as Christian began to feel excited. "I am secure in knowing I finally got my dear old sister over a huge barrel. And it's all thanks to her stupid ex."
