The Zack Mercer Story

Chapter 32: Move-In?

Wednesday, October 19th, 2016 - Survivor Series: 32 Days Away - Dallas, Texas

James came running into Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. James had his hair up in a messy bun as he wore black Nike shorts with his WWE Tapout Jacket with his standard Black and White Nike Air Huarache. He turned the receptionist desk and looked at her with an alarmed look on his face.

"What can I do for you sir?"

"Hey I'm looking for my daughter Elizabeth." James said.

"Elizabeth? Elizabeth McGrady?"

"Yes that's her. Oh well in that case, she's in room 416 right down the hallway." The receptionist said. James then went running down the hallway until he got to room 416 before he opened the door and saw the little girl he had been trying to see for the longest. She had black hair just like her dad and she had her father's eyes with her mother's nose and her mother's face. His daughter looked at him with a smile soon forming on her face. She had stitches on the corner of her head and stitches on her eyebrow.

"Daddy!" His 2 year old daughter said as she lifted her arms up in the air. James ran towards his daughter and grabbed her as he lifted her up into the air before he lowered her down for a hug in his arms. Tears started to form in his eyes as he held the girl that he had been trying to get into his grasp for months and months,

"I'm here baby girl. I'm here." He said as tears started to stream down his face. After a few minutes of him holding that little girl in the same spot, a woman came bargaining into the room. The woman was his ex. The ex responsible for taking him away from his little girl in the first place.

"Diana." James said as he walked towards the hospital bed and paced her down on the bed. His daughter kept her grip on him holding onto his index finger

"James." Diana said looking him up and down with a bit of fear in his eyes. She had a couple of stitches in her eyebrow and a few stitches on the corner of her head and the side of her mouth. She also had a bruise on the side of her face probably from her boyfriend. The man that forced her to get a restraining order against James in order to save her daughter.

Minutes Later

James and Diana had waited for Elizabeth to fall asleep before they went out in the hallway to talk. Diana leaned against the wall while James was walking back and forth looking down at the ground trying to get his mind clear before he finally stopped in front of Diana.

"Okay what the hell happened?" James asked, trying to keep his emotions in check. He was angry. He had every right to be angry considering that his daughter could've died because of his ex being drunk behind the wheel.

"I was sitting at home with Aaron with Elizabeth having a few drinks at first when he got mad 'cause I said something about you and he snapped. He sent Elizabeth to our room and he started to beat me down until I smashed the vodka bottle over his head and I took Liz and we both got out of there as fast as we could until I crashed trying not to hit the truck we saw on the road and I ended up crashing into a tree. I'm sorry James.

"Didn't I tell you right before you cut me off to get the hell out of there? I told you to leave but you didn't. And I get that he had you under his will and he had you brainwashed that I was the bad guy, but you could've called. I damn sure didn't want to meet back up like this. You could've killed yourself. Even worse, you could've killed Liz. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I was thinking about saving our asses, believe it or not."

"Look, Here's how we're gonna do this. You're moving out to my house in Vegas. You and Liz."

"What? I can't do that."

"Yes, you can. It's the only way that keeps you and Liz safe and in reach in case anything happens."

"Is it okay with Lexi? I know that you two were kinda close."

"Don't worry about her right now."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Fine Liz and I will move in with you." James gave her a small smile as he walked towards the window and looked into to see his sleeping baby girl. The baby girl that would finally be making a return to his life and boy was he excited.

A/N: Well, I hope you enjoyed the Chapter. If you did go ahead and leave me a note. I realize now that I left several plot holes in earlier chapters and I'm gonna start doing my best to try to fill those up and I'm going to change something about James including the way I write him. Please stick with me as I make these changes.

This is the ZackAttack signing out!
