On the first page of our story the future seemed so bright. Then this thing turned out so evil. I don't know why I'm still surprised. Even angels have their wicked schemes. And you take that to new extremes. But you'll always be my hero. Even though you've lost your mind. Now there's gravel in our voices. Glass is shattered from the fight. In this tug of war you'll always win. Even when I'm right. 'Cause you feed me fables from your hand. With violent words and empty threats. And it's sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied. So maybe I'm a masochist. I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave. 'Til the walls are goin' up in smoke with all our memories.
It's morning, you wake, a sun ray hits your face. Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction. Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry that you pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me. Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me. Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy. Baby, without you I'm nothing. I'm so lost. Hug me then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me. Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the destructive path that we're on. Two psychopaths, but we know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs, that we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky. Together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills. You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'? I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count. But together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain. Our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refuse counsellin'. This house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand square feet of it to the ground. ain't shit you can do about it 'cause with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you I'm out it.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's all right because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry, but that's all right because I love the way you lie. I love the way you lie.
Mercedes' favorite shade of orange clouded her vision. She smiled to herself. Jerome had his head nuzzled comfortably in the crook of her neck. Jerome has an arm protective wrapped around her stomach. Mercedes replayed the conversation they had last night after sex before bed in her head.
"Mercedes... Do you think.. he hurt your baby..? Will your baby be okay..?"
"No I don't think he hurt the baby.. it should be okay.."
She knew the baby was coming soon. She knew that was going to be a tough day. She hadn't been able to see Lee, so Mercedes took it upon herself to do everything Lee had her do last time. She felt like the baby was fine. Mercedes was ready to tell Jeremiah the gender. Jerome started to groan and shuffle.
"Doll face... you are thinking too loud.. your projecting me your thoughts.."
Jerome nuzzled back into her still half asleep.
"Sorry..."
He sighed with his eyes closed. His thumb gently rubbed over her stomach.
"Mercedes.. we can handle that day.. it will be fine.. As for the conversation last night, don't start saying I'm getting a feeling for this kids. I just know it would destroy you if something happen to it."
Mercedes smiled to herself. She could always tell when Jerome was lying.
"And the gender, of course you already know it. With your powers. I think you should tell Jeremiah first before anyone else. I know you already have a name too. Why wouldn't you?"
Mercedes spoke through a laugh.
"You're lying Jerome. As weird as this situation is, you are wondering about what it will be like to be an uncle."
