Helping Out A Friend

"Sure, let me just change out of these clothes I traveled in and bring my bag upstairs. I won't be long." Elle said before walking out the kitchen and going upstairs after grabbing her bag.

John nodded then put a hat on then leaned against the counter as he waited with Macy.

Macy nodded as she waited with John.

"I can see why you're with her, she seems very sweet." Macy said.

"She is really sweet, I love her to death." John said with a smile.

"You didn't have to tell me that, I could already tell that you do." Macy said.

John nodded.

"I've hurt her a lot though in the past so I'm lucky to still have her as my wife." John said.

Elle came downstairs a bit later in a pair of shorts and a loose top.

"You all ready?" She asked.

John looked at Elle and nodded.

"I am, you ready Macy?" John asked.

Macy frowned at John, but refuse to ask about it knowing it was probably a sour subject.

She looked up at the two before standing up. "I'm ready."

John grabbed his keys.

"Alright let's get out of here." John said as he walked to the door.

Elle nodded, thanking John as she walked out of the house and went towards his car.

Macy nodded as well before walking out of the house and to John's car.

John followed them both out then unlocked the car before opening the passenger side door and the backseat door for Elle and Macy.

Macy smiled.

"Thank you." She said before getting into the car.

"You're welcome." John said before he walked over to he driver's side of the car and got in.

Elle thanked John as well, getting into the car and putting on her seat belt.

"If you don't mind me asking, what's going on?" She curiously asked.

Macy sighed as she turned to Elle.

"Michael, usually, can never take a joke. So when John made a comment about him on Randy's picture, he took it too seriously and got mad. Even though John said that he was kidding, he still wouldn't let it go. So Mike made his status about John calling him a jackass and it all basically elevated from there. I tried telling Mike to let it go, he was making an ass of himself. But of course, he always have to be a man and try to win the fight. So they continued to argue over the status about Mike not getting laid and bullying or whatever before John mentioned you.

Then Mike mentioned Lucky having sex dreams about him and how she was getting a divorce and whatnot, please don't ask how or why that was brought up because I don't understand either. But it sort of put me in a mindset that he was more attracted to her then me, which pissed me off more. Then John posted that picture of you, and that's when things got really bad. I told Mike not to even go on the picture and start more drama, but of course he never listens to me.

Of course Mike ended up being attracted to Elle, but he didn't want to admit it in front of John. So after John won the argument, Mike decides to lash out on me, even though I'm the one who told him to stop. He had to bring up me leaving him for seven months to go through my pregnancy alone. He always has to bring up me cheating on him and me feeling guilty. He tries to use it to his advantage because he knows it's a touchy subject for me. So after that, I was done. I had to get the hell out of that house before I severely injured him because he was being an asshole."

Elle didn't reply right away, listening closely to what Marcia had to say and processing it all.

"So, to sum it all up, it's complicated and it just got really, really messy?" Elle asked. "I understand how you feel. Have you talked to Mike or has he reached out to you? Do you even plan to?"

"He basically blew up my phone last night. I plan on trying to fix things with him, but I need my space for a moment." Macy said.

"Take as long as you need, our house is always open for you." John said.

"What John said. I understand what you're going through, you can stay with us as long as you need." Elle said.

Macy smiled slightly.

"Thank you guys so much. I kind of feel like an idiot now for selling my house back in North Carolina. I didn't think this would happen, so thank you. I promise to be out as soon as I can."

"Take your time finding something and getting it all together, there really is no rush." Elle said.

"What Elle said." John said with a nod.

"But I can't help but feel that I'm intruding." Macy said.
