Chapter 43- Evidence (Marci's POV)

~ Present Day~

"And that is all."

I couldn't wrap my brain around all of this. I had known Jon for years. I dated him and I was currently engaged to him. And if all of this was true, everything that happened was sham. I couldn't just go off of Colby's word. I needed more evidence. This could be just Colby trying to get me back so I needed to talk to some more people first.

"Hi. How are you?"

Mercedes walked in with a bunch of flowers. It had been a day since I talked to Colby. I needed to talk to some more people about what really happened. I didn't want to ruin my relationship with Jon over something that may not have happened. I had to talk to some more people.

"So, Colby told me. About Jon."

She looked at me in shock. "I'll kill him. We agreed not to speak about it. Ever."

So, she did know something. Crap. I was hoping for a confused expression. This only further proved Colby's story. "He didn't mean too. It just sort of was said."

"So, you know that I had a crush on Colby?"

"I do."

"I don't feel that way anymore, you know." She sighed and sat down. "Can I tell you about the night I first went out with him?"

Part of me was very reluctant to hear this but I nodded anyways.

"It was a Monday night. We were all very excited as the next week was Wrestlemania. Everyone was going crazy. And Colby wanted to go party before heading towards the city for Mania. No one else really wanted to go so I decided to go with him. We partied all night. It was one of the best nights of my life. We spent that whole week together. I thought that it was going to be something. But after Mania ended, we did too. I thought that maybe I wasn't good enough for him. But then, I figured out he couldn't commit to a relationship. I was happy that I found out another reason why it didn't work. Then, you came along. And he committed so easily to you. And I realized, maybe it was me. And trust me, I didn't want to want him. I wanted to be happy for you. I wanted you to be happy. I was terrible person and a terrible friend. I'm so sorry. And I understand if you never want to talk to me again."

"Mercedes, we have been through a lot. So, you wanted my boyfriend. You couldn't control how you feel. It's ok. But I want to know one thing, if you knew about Jon, why didn't you tell me?"

"Jon loves you. Yeah, he may be a terrible person who used me and Colby to manipulate the situation. But I can see that he loves you. I'm not saying you should stay with him but sometimes, we do stupid things for the people love. I mean, hey, I pined after my best friend's boyfriend because I thought it was love. We're only human and we make stupid mistakes sometimes. It's what we learn from them that counts the most."

"Thanks, Mercedes."

She smiled and we spent some time together. I was glad that I could have her in my life.

I spent some time thinking about what had been said but there was only one other person I could talk to that might know a little bit more and would be sober enough to remember.

"You're asking about something that happened three years ago?"

"Yes, Joe. Just, tell me what you remember."

"Ok. I'll tell you."
