Chapter 34
Not too long after talking with Stephanie, Mercedes called one of her three best friends from Boston.
"Hello Mercedes," Angela Katz answered.
"Hey," Mercedes replied.
"It's great to hear from you. How are you?"
"I'm great. How are you?"
"I'm great too. How is that beautiful baby girl of yours?"
"Evie is doing just great as well. She is with her daddy right now!" Mercedes grinned, happily knowing her baby girl was with the right man.
"Fabulous. How's Colby?" Angela said.
"Everyone's great," Mercedes replied. "We're all getting ready for Royal Rumble in a couple weeks."
"Awesome. Vicky, Emily and I are all set to be in Philly with your mom for it. We are so excited to see you, Evie, Colby, and all your friends of the WWE."
"Fantastic," Mercedes replied. "I can't wait. I will have tickets for you to be at WrestleMania too!"
"Yes, yes! We need to see our bestie win that championship in person!"
Mercedes smiled. "I have something to ask you."
"Shoot."
"Well, Stephanie asked me if I wanted to do a WWE 24 for my Road to WrestleMania."
"That's great," Angela said.
"Yes, but it goes farther back than just my Road to WrestleMania. It is everything that has happened over the last year and a half with my rape and road to recovery."
"Wow."
"Yeah. I was wondering if you would be part of the WWE 24? As well as Vicky and Em."
"Oh," Angela replied.
Mercedes nodded her head. "You don't have to…"
"…I would love to!"
"Really?!"
"Yes!" Angela exclaimed. "You need a friend or two outside of WWE to help portray who you are."
"Thanks so much, Angie! That means the world to me!"
"Happy to help, Mer-Mer."
"Do you think Vicky and Emily would do it?" Mercedes asked.
"Yes, they would! We are so proud of you for everything that has gone on in the last year and a half! We said we would anything for you or get what you needed with this whole situation. This is WWE 24 is part of it. Plus, with all three of us defending you about this whole thing with people calling you a liar and such, you have nothing to lose. We might not be around you a lot, but we are three of your best friends too. We know you!"
"Thanks so much, Angie! I love you, girl!"
"I love you too, Mer-Mer," Angela replied. "Do you want me to actually ask Vicky and Emily about this?"
"In all honesty, yes," Mercedes admitted.
"Okay, I sure will."
"Yes, because they might not want to really do it with it being TV, you know."
"Excellent point! But I will definitely do it!" Angela said. "You just tell me when and where, or whatever."
"I sure will," Mercedes replied. "Thanks, love."
"You are most welcome."
"I have to go. I'll talk to you soon."
"All right, bye, hun. Give Evie a big kiss for me. And a hug to Colby," Angela said.
"I sure will," Mercedes replied. "Bye."
"Bye."
Mercedes ended the call on her phone. She was very happy. She could always count on Angela for anything.
Mercedes went to find Colby after that.
"Angela is going to do the WWE 24. But also, talk with Vicky and Emily to see if they will do it."
"Cool," Colby said.
"And she said to give this," Mercedes said. She hugged her fiancé, making him laugh. "But this is from me." She gently cupped his face and kissed him.
