A Little Mad

Chapter 51

Mercedes stared around the room in amazement. Jerome chuckled.

"I know. It's a lot of weapons to choose from."

Mercedes smiled. 

"I can see why you didn't want me in here."

Jerome raised an eyebrow half laughing.

"Now don't get too crazy." 

Her eyes landed on a medieval battle axe. Her face brightened. Jerome followed her gaze as she ran to pick it up.

"I want this!" 

Jerome tilted his head looking puzzled. 

"You plan on taking down vampires or some shit?" 

Mercedes laughed and smiled as she examined it. 

"Oh come on... It's a real medieval weapon! It's so beautiful... Yup I pick this one." 

An evil grin grew on Jerome's face. He chose the gun he thought was perfect for this outting. Mercedes skipped into the living room where everyone else was. Jerome was right behind her. Mercedes giggled.

"Look at what I got!" 

Everyone stared at them confused. Bailey stood up.

"Um.. What is going on?!"

Mercedes beamed with excitement. 

"We are about to go have some fun!"

Bailey did not like this idea at all. She worried for Mercedes's safety and by the looks of it, so was TaTyana. Bailey stepped closer to Mercedes and grabbed her by the rim of her pants.

"It's just... I was going to come look for you.."

Bailey gave Mercedes her best seductive smirk. Jerome rolled his eyes and groaned. He pulled Mercedes backwards.

"Sorry, but we have plans right now."

Bailey stepped forwards again.

"Wait, are you seriously going to take her with you?!"

TaTyana stood up and walked towards Mercedes, though, not saying a word. Mercedes shook her head. 

"I'll be fine."

Jerome straightened himself.

"Yes I'm taking her with me."

Bailey tried to pull Mercedes back.

"It's not safe! You just got over losing a baby! Are you sure you are in the right emotional state to do this?! You can't go! No! It's dangerous!"

Mercedes pulled away from Bailey carefully handing the axe to Jerome.

"Bailey back the fuck off... I can take care of myself.. and since when were you the know it all on my emotional state? You don't know half the shit I've been through. I get it that you care and always want to help, but I don't need a fucking care taker. Jerome knows that. So just back off."

Bailey stood there shocked and heartbroken. Ash tried to grab her hand and Bailey pulled away. She ran off towards her room with tears in her eyes. TaTyana stepped in front of Mercedes.

"Are you sure...?"

Mercedes gave TaTyana a reassuring smile.

"I can do this. I'll be fine."

Ed pulled TaTyana back.

"Just let her go. If she wants to act big and bad and Jerome will risk her life by enabling this, then just let her go. She'll figure it out that it's too soon."
