The Zack Mercer Story

Chapter 28: A Promise Made

Sunday, October 9th, 2016 - No Mercy - Sacramento, California

"Andy. We can't." JoJo said as they broke up the kiss. James had looked at her string her in the eyes but the only voice he could hear calling his name was Lexi. The thoughts were running through his head while he had looked the Raw Ring announcer in her eyes. What the hell was he doing? This is what got him in the dog house in the first place. Another woman. His lust killed his chance at the one true love of his life. Lexi was the only woman for him. The only important woman in his life.

"I'm sorry Jo. I don't know what came over me." James said as he looked at the ground as he put her down on her feet.

"It's fine. Hey look I have a couch. You can sleep it off." JoJo said as she pointed to the couch.

"Thank you. Thank you." James repeated as he stumbled his way towards the couch. JoJo watched him make his way there and sighed and shook her head. Once again, he was in another one of his drunken rampages.

The Next Day - Monday, October 10th, 2016

The 2-time Intercontinental Champion laid on the couch staring up at the ceiling contemplating his mistakes. The adrenaline finally wore off and he could think nothing more then how he happened to mess up with his relationship. And almost sleeping with another woman wasn't something that was going to fix his relationship. He sat up on his bed and stood up where he saw Jo looking out of the window with a worried frown on her face.

"Jo-" He tried to say but James was cut off.

"No, It was a mistake. A mistake we almost committed. You can't afford anymore mistakes James. You found the love of your life and you're screwing up your chances to be with her by being the ladies man and shoving your tongue down other women's throats. So do us both a favor and forget about it. I will, if you will and I won't mention and you won't. So what you're gonna do is march your ass back to her talk to her and tell her you're sorry and start back dating. You two were cute." JoJo said as she walked towards him and patted him on the shoulder and then walked away. James sighed before he cursed silently at himself.

"Took the words right out of my mouth." He muttered to himself. He put his jeans on from last night before he picked up his phone that lay on the nightstand beside him. He picked up the phone and started to scroll through his notifications. He kept scrolling until he reached the notification with Lexi's name next to it. He pressed down on the text to see what he wanted to see.

"Drew, I think that we need to talk. We've both have done somethings that we can't take back but I think we can get over this. Please call me back when you get this." He read the text making him smile before he quickly was able to press the calll button.

He stood up and walked towards the window while he had his phone and waited for the call to go through. Luckily she picked up and he heard the voice that he wanted to hear.

"Hey Lexi." He said with a smile.

"Hey Drew, We need to talk." She said.

"I know. I know and as soon as I get to San Jose then we can talk."

"Okay but try to not to kiss anyone until then." She joked making him give off a stiff laugh.

"Bye Lexi." He said as he then hung up the phone. He put his hands on his side before he looked down at the ground with that same smile on his face.

Minutes Later

James had pulled up to the Oracle Arena with JoJo sitting in the passenger seat while he had his Intercontinental Championship sitting on the dashboard. He had been thinking about what he would say to Lexi the entire time whenever he got to see her and talk to her. He would make little conversation with JoJo whenever it got too quiet in the car. Even after his almost mistake last night it was good to know that they could still be friends and it made James think about alll of his relationships he made in the WWE.

"Ah, I hate this arena." James said as he opened the door and exited the car.

"I know you do you always talk about it especially when we used to watch those warriors games." Jo said with a smile on her face as she remembered the old times

"Yeah, the good days when we could just sit back and watch as the sports world just passed us on by. Now it seems like all eyes are on me." James said as he turned his attention to JoJo.

"Well, as the dubbed future of the WWE what do you expect?"

"Certainly not this. I feel like if I screw up it's my career."

"But this is what you dreamed of. Being the face of a company. You're not yet the face of the company but you might as well be."

"Dammit, when did you get so smart?" He asked rhetorically.

"James, I need you to make me a promise."

"And that is."

"Make up with Lexi and this time around don't lose her."

"You don't have to worry about that, I'm in love with her and I'm determined to make it work." James said as he grabbed JoJo's luggage out of his trunk and looked down at the short one.

"Bye James." JoJo said before they gave each other a hug. She then walked away from James while he stood there and watched as she walked away. He shook his head with a smile on his face before he walked around his car and opened the door before he entered.
