"I think it only worked because it's so rare lately" she teased back. She knew that Gerard was distracted and she didn't need his half hearted teasing to tell she thought. Normally it would only take one sweet kiss for him to move things to a more passionate place.
She really wasn't sure how he would react to what she was saying but she could almost instantly the confusion that was mixed with his anger. Mercy wished was was better at actually influencing other people's emotions. But she hadn't fully figured out how to do so consciously yet. She ran her hands gently over his back as he started to speak his confusion.
"I have no idea. I doubt she has told anyone about anything. Might explain why she has been acting strange lately." she said softly. Gerard had been saying just the other day that he didn't understand why his sister had seemed so withdrawn lately. She knew her boyfriend paid no attention to the rumors that swirled around the school. "She was with Lourdes when she overdosed. Maybe sometime happened then." she suggested. The fact that Lourdes Backer had overdosed on something at a club in Halifax had spread around school pretty fast but there hadn't been any rumors about Detroit other than she had been with Lourdes.
