I'm glad that everyone is enjoying this story! I do want to let you know that from here to the end it isn't all sunshine and roses. You're all about to find out why my friends call me the 'Drama Queen' when it comes to writing. I actually brought myself to tears writing this story so if you can't handle it feel free to walk away now. ________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next few days they developed a routine. Neil would come and visit Sam after lunch then would meet Mercy after her shift. Sometimes they went to dinner and sometimes they just stayed in and watched a movie at Neil’s hotel or at Mercy’s apartment.
Before Neil knew it the first half of the break was up and he hated the limited time he had with Mercy. It had only been a week but he was developing serious feelings for the young woman and wondered how he was going to deal with the separation when the tour started back up.
As usual Neil was waiting for Mercy outside of this hospital but tonight the nurse looked tired and drawn. “What’s wrong?” Neil asked while taking Mercy’s bag from her. “Long day?”
“You could say that.”
Mercy was silent as she drove to Neil’s hotel and the singer wondered what had disturbed her so.
After plopping down on the couch in Neil’s room the nurse kicked off her shoes and flexed her tired feet. Neil sat down behind her and pulled the clip from her hair, letting the long tresses spill across her shoulders. He wrapped his arms around her waist and felt her lean back against him.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“I’m really not supposed to talk about the patients.”
“I know, but you can tell me if it’ll make things better for you.”
Mercy sighed and closed her eyes. “It’s Sam. She’s been with us for nearly two weeks and lately has been asking when she can go home.”
“Why can’t she go home?”
“Because the police can’t find her parents. Sam came to us after their neighbors called 911 when they heard shouting and breaking glass. She was in bad shape, I don’t know what exactly happened but it looked like she tried to break up a domestic dispute.”
“What?”
“Yeah, little Sam tried to keep her parents apart and got pretty banged up in the process. Anyway, the police said that both parents looked worse for the wear but they were both denying that anything had happened. They both claimed that Sam fell down the stairs. When the parents never showed up at the hospital the police went to question them and they had both disappeared. They’ve been looking ever since.”
“I know Sam’s daddy, he’s a mean old drunk and a bully when he’s sober. Sam’s mom is young, she was sixteen when she got pregnant, and ran with the wrong people. Something bad is going to happen, Neil, I just know it.”
Neil knew that Mercy was shaken because she’d actually used his name instead of calling him rock star. He pulled her closer and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “It’s going to be alright, Mercy, you’ll see. Now why don’t you get some rest? I’ll wake you up when it’s time for you to head home.”
The nurse nodded and drifted off a few minutes later. Neil held her as she slept, wishing he could chase away the demons that haunted her.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! In honor of the holiday, the scene you've all been waiting for! Have fun and paint the town green today! ________________________________________________________________________________
Mercy had the next day off and wanted to forget about her problems for a few hours. “I hope you packed your swim trunks, rock star, because we’re going to the beach!” she exclaimed over the phone as she drove to Neil’s hotel.
It was still pretty early but they had a two hour drive ahead of them and Mercy wanted to spend as much time as possible on the beach. They sang along with the radio and Neil was surprised to see the chaos of the city fade as they headed south.
Soon he could smell saltwater and was surprised when he saw the first glimpse of the ocean from between two houses. He had no idea that such a lovely place existed so close to the big city.
“Welcome to Galveston,” said Mercy while parking the car on the soft sand. “It’s nothing spectacular but it’s not bad.”
Neil glanced around at the people who were running and playing on the beach and grinned. “It’s perfect.”
They set up their chairs and umbrellas and Neil couldn’t help but grin when Mercy shucked her pullover. She was wearing a modest one piece but she wore it well. The nurse felt Neil’s eyes on her and busied herself with the cooler in order to ignore his gaze.
“Come on, let’s go for a swim,” said Mercy while taking off for the water.
The surf wasn’t too rough and the two spent a good portion of their time in the warm water. Mercy could swim like a fish and Neil was always surprised when she’d disappear under the waves and suddenly materialize behind him in order to dunk him.
He was attempting to follow her form through the water when he felt his legs yanked from underneath him. He came up sputtering and encountered Mercy’s laughing face. “You are in so much trouble,” he growled and she took off through the water.
She nearly made it to shore when Neil grabbed her around the waist and spun her around before tossing her into the waves. Unfortunately for Neil, Mercy didn’t let go and they both went toppling into the surf.
They were both laughing so hard they could barely walk and Mercy fell to her knees giggling before they reached the shore. Neil held out his hand to help her up but Mercy pulled on his arm which caused him to fall forward.
Neil caught himself before he hit the ground and realized that his face was mere inches away from Mercy’s. He stared into the depths of her brilliant eyes for several moments before dipping his head and kissing her.
Mercy could barely believe that her first kiss with Neil was on the beach with the waves crashing around them. It was cheesy and romantic and absolutely perfect. She pushed any other thoughts away as Neil pulled back to catch his breath before kissing her again.
Neither one knew how long they were locked in their embrace but the moment was lost when a huge wave crashed over them. Mercy shook the water off of her face and began to laugh. Neil joined her then stood and helped her to her feet, wrapping an arm around her waist as they made their way back to the umbrellas.
The two enjoyed a lazy day, basking in the sun and enjoying each other’s company. Mercy was currently dozing in the shade on her stomach and Neil was sitting on the edge of her chair with one hand resting lightly on the curve of her back. He brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face and smiled as she moved towards his touch.
He had no idea that he could fall for someone so quickly but apparently it was possible. He was falling hard for Mercy and hoped that she felt the same way. Turning his gaze towards the waves he wondered where this relationship was going. He knew he couldn’t ask Mercy to leave her job and he couldn’t imagine leaving Celtic Thunder but he didn’t know how he was going to just walk away when the tour begin.
Neil was pulled from his reverie as Mercy began to stir. She smiled then sat up and stretched. “Want to go for a walk?” she asked and Neil pulled her to her feet.
The two wandered hand in hand along the beach until the sun began to sink below the horizon. Neil stood behind Mercy with his arms wrapped around her waist as they watched the sun set, thanking whatever Fates were listening for brining her into his life.
