Secrets and Advantages

Back To The Old Ways.. Again? (Part 1)

It had been a month and a half after court and Marcella was still staying with us. Everything was going great until today..
Michael had gone out to get a drink and some food so I was guessing he had went to McDonalds or something. Everyone else was in the house either making something to eat or sitting at the table when the door opened and shut but nobody said anything. I got up and went to see if someone had came in and there Michael was on the love seat... with a girl. Not the same one but a different one. I was about done with his shit and I was about to go up and smack him but a hand held me back. Ashton. "Don't. He'll learn from his mistakes like he has the past few times" he whispered to me "but Ash, this isn't the first time he's done this. Someone needs to do something about it" I whispered back "no Luke, just let him do this.. Right now we need to make sure Marcella doesn't see them". We walked back into the kitchen where she was nervously cutting cucumbers "are you alright babe?" Ashton asked "yeah, I'm fine. Who wouldn't be fine? Not me" she said unconvincingly "what's wrong?" I asked. She dropped the knife on the counter and stormed off to the bedroom. "Ugh..." "Go Luke" Ashton pointed me towards the direction Marcella had gone.
I knocked on the open door "Marcella, what's wrong?" "Don't you think that I can see the front door from where I stood in the kitchen?" She about yelled "wai-, what?" "I saw Michael and that girl" she sounded like she was about to cry, her voice shaky. "Oh.." I said. Marcella started pacing back and fourth and after a minute, asked "do you feel hot to or is it just me?" She asked as she stopped pacing, she looked flushed "are you okay?" I asked but she didn't say anything. Then she fell to the floor. "Marcella!" I yelled as I ran to her side.
