Later that night as I drove to the Mercer's I thought about what guy said to me before.

"Let them believe that you like them. Let them trust you. Then when it is time take care of them. Just think about what this will do for your career. You will be known as the greatest. The one that got rid of the biggest enemy…the Mercer brothers."

I could feel tears building up in my eyes. I didn't know what to do. Now with my new partner Barbie around I had to be careful of what I did.

I pulled up to the house and parked my car. I headed towards the door; the house just looked so warming and inviting.

I opened the door and walked inside. Angel was passed out on the couch snoring like a bear. I couldn't help but laugh.

I walked up the stairs and peeked into Jack's room, no one was there. I grabbed some of my clothes and headed towards the bathroom.

I turned on the water and got undressed. I looked at myself in the foggy mirror. Something hit me, it was like I didn't recognize who I was anymore. I looked to soft, not as hard and tense as I used to. Something was changing and it bothered me. I looked away from the mirror and hopped into the shower.

After my shower I got dressed and walked back into Jack's room. I laid down on the bed and fell asleep.

Later that night I was awoken by Bobby.

"Where the hell where you last night?" Bobby stormed into the room

I sat up in the bed and looked at him, "Huh?"

"Where were you Mercedes?"

"What are you my father?"

"You know you had us all worried that something happened to you. Do you know what types of people are out there?"

"What does it matter anyway, Jack knew where I was," I shoot a look at Bobby.

He didn't say anything.

"I slept with Stefan last night, is that what you want to hear. Huh Bobby! That I was out screwing around with some guy! God why am I telling you this! It doesn't matter you anyway! This is my personally life! God!" I pushed past him and walked down the stairs.

Bobby walked down after me, he didn't say anything. He just grabbed his coat and left.

"Hey where is Bobby going?" Jack asked as he walked into the house

"Who knows?" I replied

Bobby hopped in his beat up Oldsmobile and drove to his favorite local bar.

Bobby walked into the bar and walked over toward his usual corner.

"Hey Bobby what can I get you." A tall blonde waitress walked over to his table.

"Hey Lynn, the usual."

"You got it Bobby." The waitress smiled and walked away.

Bobby sat around checking out the place. The usual people crowed in the place.

"So what's bothering you Bobby?" Lynn handed Bobby a beer.

Bobby took his beer and looked to the side.

"Girl trouble huh?"

Bobby turned back and looked at Lynn.

"Oh so I am right. So tell me about her."

"There's nothing to tell." Bobby took a swig of his beer.

"Ok well when you want to talk I'll be over there." Lynn smiled

After a few more beers Bobby decide to head home. As he was walking out the door he caught Lynn's eyes. Next thing he knew they were heading up the stairs to his bedroom.
