The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 11: The Talk
Wednesday, August 10th, 2016 - Summerslam 2016: 11 Days Away - Bakersfield, California
For the past few hours of their road trip it had been nothing but silence since Lexi was sleep and James was taking this time to think about their relationship or if there was one. One thing James didn't want and that is for Lexi to end up hurt but he did want her to be happy whether it be with him or Matthew. He didn't care all he wanted was her happiness.
"Lexi." James said trying to get her attention.
"Lexi!" James shouted a loud making Lexi's eyes open loudly as she sat up now.
"What?" Lexi asked as she started to stretch while James kept his eyes on the road.
"We need to talk." He said to her as he used his right to adjust the radio.
"About?" Lexi asked as she pulled out her phone now. James pulled out of the carpool lane and pulled off to the side of the road off the interstate. James put the car and neutral and turned to look Lexi in the eyes.
"Us." He said.
"I was hoping you wouldn't want to talk about this." She said.
"Look, I'm confused with you okay. First you record me getting me to say what I wanted to say to you for so damn long then you kiss me and you tell me that we'll figure this out. And when I get to the point where I want to figure this out you act like you don't. Lexi I need to know." He said.
"Look, James, I love you. I really do and I want to be with you but I'm with Matthew and we've been together for a long time and trust him. I don't want to ruin what I have with him for a relationship that I don't know will work." She said.
James put his head down and closed his eyes fighting back his tears. He contemplated in his head whether or not he should tell her about her so lover but he decided not to. It was her decision and she made it. None of his business.
"Okay." He said as he opened his eyes and put the car in drive before he drove off with Lexi staring at him with eyes of concern. She put a hand on his shoulder trying to see if she can calm him but he did the one thing he had never done to her. He shrugged off her touch and reached into his pocket for his bluetooth earbuds. He turned his earbuds on and listened to his music ignoring Lexi. Lexi sighed deeply as she watched James distance himself from her mentally.
A/N: So yes I know short chapter but I was trying to get this out before Thanksgiving and this is just a short mini-chapter letting people know about the whole James and Lexi thing I know super confusing. Leave a review if you have any thoughts or questions.
