Soaring

Chapter 3

 "I want you to apologize to my husband. He's MY husband. He doesn't have to be nice to you. He isn't YOUR husband he's MY husband. He doesn't owe you shit! He shouldn't be nice to you! That would be a red flag!" Screamed Makayla. It's now the next day and we're still fighting about it.

"Do you not understand? If you're supposed to be family, a family doesn't allow their significant others to act that way. They tell them to treat them like they'd treat their own family." I sigh.

"He doesn't need to be nice to you." Makayla started. "He's my man. I'm only special if he's only nice to me."

"You're.... Impossible." I say and walk away.

I go to my room and call Jane, making plans to go out to lunch or get coffee. "She's become impossible," I begin. "She refuses to be cooperative about other people's emotions."

"She's always been that way." Says Jane. "Putting her emotions before yours and making yours feel invalid. Your emotions are valid too. The way she's treating you is not okay. And the way that Mario treats you is not acceptable."

"I just want to be treated equally. When he's around, nobody else matters. It feels like I don't exist to her most of the time unless he is not here. Before him when she was with Matthew, I was always included and treated as if I was part of a team." I sigh.

"She's got to go." Said Jane.

"She has nowhere else to go," I tell her

"How is that your problem?" asks Jane

"Because of Addison," I say.

"Addison at this point is the only reason you even keep Makayla around." Said Jane

"That's not totally true." I begin, "We have a fantastic time when it's us. When we're at our normal pace. Then when he comes around, it causes more problems than what it's worth. When he leaves, she's happier than when he's here."

"Still." Said jane. "He still won't grow up either. Why should you play nice with him when he's a consistent dick towards you."

"She sees him as a saint." I sigh.

"Which is something that he is far from. Especially the way he treats Addison. I'm not trying to be a bitch, but truly it mostly matters how he treats Addison. And he sucks at that." Jane stated

"Yeah, I know," I said. "Just doesn't help that even his face just pisses me the fuck off."

Jane laughs, knowing that I never have problems with most people. In fact, I mostly only get along with men. So the fact that for once I'm not one of the guys, says a lot about Mario.

"I'm gonna get off the phone. Before drama breaks out because of me using my phone in my room. Since there's now drama because I got tired of being disrespected in my own home." I say.

"Okay, I understand. Talk later bitchaches?" Asked Jane

"Of course. I'll still be texting you. I just think being on the phone in my bedroom with the door shut will probably cause unnecessary bullshit. Love ya bitch." I say

"Love you too." Jane says before hanging up.

Now I know I'll have to be walking on eggshells in my own home. Never knowing when drama is going to break out. Having no idea when things will go downhill because she is obsessed with the idea of love. Honestly, I don't think she knows what love is. She just is in love with the idea of love.

Ever since I can remember, Makayla always had a boyfriend. Never allowing herself to be alone. Her motto always was to consider romance as the answer to life's problems.
