Saturday

Jaelyn

It's Saturday. I am going out with Marcel as a friend again. He also invited Melissa (Miley Masen) and Kyle (O'Reilly) to join us in ax throwing.

Bryson came over to help Bridgette baby the twins since she's still not old enough to babysit her siblings until she's about sixteen years old.

I still have not heard from Fergal. I am getting worried about him. However, I'm not gonna let it ruin my night out with friends.

"Okay, Bridgette, you know the drill. Bryson, thank you for coming over to help her babysit the twins," I said.

"It's no problem. You have a good time," Bryson said. "Thank you, Bryson," I said. I went to kiss Bridgette's head.

"Have fun with your friends, Mommy," Bridgette said. "Bye, Mommy," the twins said. I kissed their foreheads.

I grabbed my backpack and my phone. I headed out the door, shutting it. I sat down on a bench, waiting for him.

I checked my phone. 'Just about there' Marcel texted. I replied; 'I'm outside waiting', sending the text.

My phone vibrated. I see another picture of Fergal in Mexico on Instagram. He looks happy in Mexico.

I see someone with blonde hair. "He better not be seeing Veronica there," I whispered. I locked my phone.

I heard a horn honking. I look up, seeing Marcel's car pulling up into my driveway. I smiled as I got up.

I walked over to his car. He gets out, walking to me. "Hey, beautiful," Marcel said. "Hey," I said, smiling.

We hugged each other. I look over, seeing Bryson and Bridgette closing the curtain. "What?" he asked.

"My daughter and her dad are spying on me," I said. "Oh, does he live with you?" he asked. "Oh no. He's helping Bridgette babysit the twins because she's not old enough to babysit by herself and it's not safe for her to babysit alone at ten years old," I said.

"Good idea. A lot of creeps in Florida," he said, opening the door for me. I got in the passenger seat, buckling up.

He shuts the door, going to the driver's seat. He pulls out of my driveway. "Ready to throw some axes?" he asked.

"Yes. It's my first time throwing an ax," I said. "I've thrown axes before. I can show you how to throw it," he said.

I nodded, smiling. "Can I say that you look handsome?" I asked. "Yes and thank you," he said, smiling.

Bridgette

I heard a car horn honking. "I think your mommy's friend's friend," my daddy said. My daddy and I walked to the couch to see my mom's friend getting her.

I opened the curtain, watching my mom hugging her friend Marcel. I looked closely as I almost looked at him.

"Wait, is that Marcel Barthel from NXT?" my daddy asked. "Yes, that's him. He's mommy's friend," I said.

"Ohh, he's way taller than Fergal," he said. I nodded. Mommy looked up, seeing me. Daddy and I quickly closed the curtain.

"I think Mommy caught us spying on her," I said. "Yeah, she does that. Bridgette, I have something to tell you," he said.

"What, Daddy?" I asked. "Well, I have a girlfriend that I've been seeing lately," he said. "Ohh, what's her name?" I asked.

"Her name is Gracie. I met her at work and she's really nice," he said. "That's good, Daddy. I can't wait to meet her," I said.

"I can't wait either but I'm waiting for the right time for you to meet her," he said. "Has Mommy met her?" I asked.

"Yes, Mommy has met Gracie. She actually likes Gracie. Your mom and I agree that we should wait for me to bring Gracie around," he said.

I nodded. "Good idea. I think Mommy wants me to wait to meet Marcel," I said. "Actually, Mommy told me that she and Marcel are just friends," he said.

"Oh okay. I hope Mommy gets with him," I said. "Well see," he said. I nodded, smiling. "Sissy, come play," FJ said.

"Okay, FJ," I said, getting on the floor. I grabbed a ball, tossing it gently to them.

Jaelyn

We got to Epicaxe Throwing. I see Kyle and Melissa's car. Marcel opened the door for me. "After you, Schon," he said.

"Thank you, handsome," I said, going inside. Marcel walks behind me. We see Kyle and Miley as we enter the building.

"Hey Jae," Melissa said. Melissa and I hugged each other. "Hey, Miles. Hey, Kyle," I said, pulling away from Melissa.

"Hey, Jae. How are you?" Kyle asked as he hugged me. "Eh... I had better days," I said. Melissa and Marcel hugged then Marcel and Kyle bro hugged each other.

"Let's do this," I said. "How about Miley and I vs Jaelyn and Marcel?" Kyle asked. "Let's do it," Marcel said.

We got to an area, grabbing an ax. Kyle goes first. He throws the first ax, it hits 3. "Good throw, babe," Miley said.

"Thank you. Your turn," Kyle said. Melissa stood on a line, grabbing an ax, throwing it. It lands in the middle.

"Yes!" Melissa yelled, jumping. "Our turn," Marcel said. It's mine and Marcel's turn. He throws the ax and it hits 4.

"Wow, better than Kyle," I said to Marcel. "Your turn," he said. I nodded as I grabbed an ax, holding it up.

"Okay," I said, throwing it hard. It just hit the wall and landed on the floor. "Shit, I fucked up," I said.

"It's okay, you'll get it next time," Marcel said. I nodded. "Our turn," Kyle said. Marcel and I moved away so Kyle and Melissa could throw.

---

We've been playing for about ten minutes. Kyle and Melissa are in the lead. Marcel's doing better than I am.

Everytime I throw it, it never hits the wall. "Everytime I throw it, it always hits the wall and falls on the floor," I said.

"Well, you gotta stop overthinking, Jaelyn," Melissa said. "Yeah right," I said. Marcel throws the ax in the middle.

"Great job, Marcel. You always hit the target," I said. "I know. Your turn, Schon," he said. I nodded, sighing.

I grabbed an ax, I held it up. I threw it again. It hits the wall again. "Fuck! I give up," I yelled in frustration.

"Jaelyn, let me help you," Marcel said, grabbing another ax for me. "Stand here," Marcel said. I stood right in front of him.

He stood behind me. I held up the ax. He grabs my arm, setting it up at a 90 degree angle, raising my arm up.

"Hold it straight. Relax, breathe and pretend that wall is Fergal after he's been lying and cheating once you do that, throw the ax," Marcel said.

Marcel moved away so he wouldn't get hurt. I nodded, relaxed, taking a deep breath. I closed my eyes as I imagined the wall was Fergal.

I threw the ax at the wall. I heard a thud sound. I opened my eyes as I saw the ax is in the middle.

I scoffed, laughing. "I did it," I said, smiling. "Good job, Jaelyn," Marcel said. We hugged each other.

"Thank you," I said, smiling. Marcel and I looked at each other. We hear Kyle and Miley clearing their throats.

"Good job, Jaelyn," Melissa said. "Well, that's a game. Melissa and I win," Kyle said. "Well, I need a break," I said.

"Okay. We'll get some drinks," Kyle said. Melissa and I went to find a place to sit together while Kyle and Marcel went to get drinks.

"So, are you having fun?" Melissa asked. "Yeah, I am. You and Kyle?" I asked. "We are. Are you having fun with Marcel?" she asked.

"I am. He's very sweet, despite him being a sour pussed face asshole on tv. I love hanging out with him. He treats me like how a woman should be treated," I said.

"Now you see why Kyle and I tried setting you and Marcel up after Fergal cheated on you a second time. I believe Marcel will be a great person for you," she said.

"Yeah, he's a gentleman," I said, smiling. "So how's the divorce process going?" she asked. "It's still going. We have an appointment to sign the papers," I said.

"That's good. I'm glad you're divorcing him after lying to you and cheating on you the whole marriage," she said.

"Me too," I said, smiling. "I'm glad that you and Marcel are talking as friends again," she said. "I am too. He makes me smile," I said.

"At least he's making you smile. I hope one day you two can finally date each other," she said, smiling.

I nodded. "Maybe," I said. "So have you heard from Fergal?" she asked. I shook my head. "No, he won't even answer my calls or text messages," I said.

Marcel and Kyle return with drinks. "So what are you girls talking about?" Marcel asked, sitting next to me.

"Just girl talk," I said, smiling. Marcel and Kyle sat down. "Having fun, Jaelyn?" Kyle asked. "Yes, I am," I said, smiling.

"That's good. It's good to see that you're having fun after everything you've been going through," he said.

"Thank you, Kyle," I said, smiling. "You're welcome," he said. "Thank you for inviting Kyle and Melissa, Marcel," I said.

"You're welcome. We should hang out together more often," Marcel said. I nodded, grabbing my phone.

I see a text from Bryson. 'The twins are down and Bridgette's doing homework. I hope you're having a good time. -Bryson'.

I replied; 'Thanks, Bryson', sending the reply. "Is that Fergal?" Marcel asked. "No, it's Bryson, Bridgette's dad giving me updates on the kids," I said.

"That's good," Melissa said. I nodded, smiling. I put my phone away.

Later That Night

After the hangout with Kyle and Miley, Marcel and I went to my house for a bit. We are sitting on my couch

Bridgette and the twins are sleeping. "Did you have fun tonight?" Marcel asked. "I did. Thank you for helping me to hold an ax before throwing it," I said.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you had a good time," he said, smiling. I smiled back. "We should do that again soon. Just us two," I said.

"I love to do that again," he said, smiling. I smiled back, looking at him. Marcel looked at me, smiling.

"What?" I asked, smiling. "Nothing, just seeing how beautiful you are," he said, smiling. "Oh, thanks," I said, stroking my hair.

"Jaelyn, there's something I wanted to tell you for a long time but I don't know how you'll react," he said.

I heard my phone vibrating. I see a notification on twitter that's concerning. "Hold on a second," I said.

I open the DM and start reading the message. I scrolled, seeing pictures of Fergal in Mexico. I see some blonde chick with him, but it's not Veronica.

"¡Ese maldito bastardo!!" I yelled in Spanish. "What is it?" Marcel asked. I gave Marcel my phone as he read the message and pictures.
