Mercedes stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel.

She got dressed in a tight-fitting babydoll top that showed off her figure and some jeans.
She knew Quinn liked this outfit, and she was tired all day and entitled to a little pleasure with her girlfriend.

"Quinn," she began as she stepped out of the bathroom.

And saw Rachel and Quinn kissing.

Mercedes gasped and quickly ducked behind the bathroom door.

She peeked out at them, watching them kiss deeply.

Mercedes took a deep breath and stepped out of her hiding place.

Quinn gasped and quickly broke away from Rachel.

Mercedes's eyes were red, glistening, and fixed upon the carpet beneath her feet.

She stood in the middle of the room, scowling, arms folded across her chest.

"Her?"

Quinn stammered, trying to come up with an excuse.

"Have you lost your mind?"

"She--" Rachel begins.

"You shut your mouth, Berry. I'm not talking to you!" Mercedes screamed.

Her blazing eyes were trained upon Quinn.

"Yell all you like," Rachel answers calmly.

"But Quinn's made her choice, and she chose me. Deal with it."

Mercedes rushed at the small diva angrily.

Rachel shrieked as Quinn held Mercedes back.

Quinn let go of her and ran over to Rachel.

"I need you to leave, baby," she whispers to her.

Rachel nodded, looking terrified.

Mercedes grabbed Rachel's arm at the door.

She pulled the brunette girl closer, fingernails clawing into her skin.

"She won't stay with you," she hissed with venom.

"And she won't be faithful. She cheated on Finn, she cheated on me. What makes you think it'd be different with you?"

Rachel didn't reply, but the wounded look in her eyes tells Mercedes that she knew it wouldn't be different at all.
