It’s about two weeks later on a Saturday. te haven’t seen Marshall for this whole time. According to Jake, he says Hailie detto that her dad has been in the studio for the last two weeks working on stuff for Relapse 2 and some things for others. te really wish te could see him, te think you’re about ready to tell him the whole truth about how te like him, and that te were lying to him about not liking him. te also plan to tell him about Jordan, and how he’s the reason, te never wanted to get into a relationship until te met, and got to liking Marshall. te plan to tell him the successivo time te see him, which should be today around lunch because te have to pick up Jake from Hailie’s.
Right now, you’re just sitting home alone, nothing to do. te look at the clock its only 10am. te should be picking Jake up around noon o one. te decide to go tidy up Jakes room sense te have absolutely nothing to do in this world right now. te go upstairs and to his room. te organize everything, hoping that Jake can find his things, you’re almost done when te come across an Eminem CD “Relapse,” te say to yourself. “Hmm, maybe I’ll give it a listen,” te say to yourself. te grab the CD then bring it to your room and put it in the player. te listen to the first few songs and decide that te don’t like them. te glance at the back of the CD. Track 17. Beautiful seems to interest you, so te skip inoltrare, avanti to that song. After te listen to it, te decide that the song is amazing, and te would tell him that. After that, te listen to Déjà Vu. te like that one too. *I wonder who DeShaun is* te think after the song is over. te decide that te will ask him later… te look at the clock after that and its noon. te grab your things put the CD back in Jakes room then head over to Marshalls…. te get though both gates…. te knock on the door and Marshall opens it.
“Ahh Abby, long time no see,” he says and goes for a hug, this time te let him hug you.
“Hey, how’s it goin?” te ask as he lets te in.
“Fine, been busy, haven’t got much sleep, but Im used to it so…,” he says like hes gonna say something else but he don’t… te walk in to the cucina after Marshall.
“Hey mom,” Jake says from the table. Hes sitting there like hes waiting for food.
“Hey Jake, Hailie, Laney and Whitney,” te say with a smile then sit down at the tavolo successivo to Whitney. Marshall sits successivo to you.
“Wanna stay for lunch?” he asks turning to te completely ignoring everyone else at the table.
“Uh… Sure,” te say just for Jakes sake… Plus te still wanna ask those questions, and possibly tell him that te like him. The kids randomly take off into the living room… After about 2 minuti of awkward silence, te and Marshall stand up at the same time then go walk to the living room.
“I… uhh wanted to talk to you,” te say stopping him. He stops immediately
“Yes go, go ahead!” he says like hes excided. *Yeah its not what te think* te think.
“Uhh… Well… Can we go in a room with a door?” te ask. He sort of smiles.
“No, don’t be a perv,” te say and hit him. te think he likes that tho, which he probably does.
“Im sorry, yeah,” he says and points down the hall. te look over the kids are playing DDR…. te walk into a room that must be some kind of office. “What was te gonna ask me?” he asks shutting the door.
“Uh, first… I actually listened to one of your Cds, Relapse, and I was wondering who’s DeShaun?” te ask confused. All of a sudden, his smile goes to a sad frown. “Was I not supposed to ask that?” te ask somewhat concerned.
“No, its… ok…. I just,” he says…. Then he slowly walks over to the bacheca and grabs a foto off the wall, turns around, and hands it to you. te stare at the picture for a bit.
“That’s him?” te ask. He nods. te hand him back the picture, he puts it back on the bacheca then pulls te a chair out then sits down at his desk, and te sit on the chair. He lets out a deep sigh.
“He was my best friend; he was pretty much my brother, that’s how much time we spent together. He was a brother to me. We met when we was about 14, we were at this rap club and I heard him rapping so I went over to him and gave him this paper and told him to come check us out sometime, he shook his head like white boys don’t know how to rhyme. However, he came down anyway. And he really liked my shit… so he invited me to this rap battle and whatnot and yeah from then on, we became brothers. He made me who I am today, he made up our group D12, he did so much for me though out my years…. But yeah…. A few years ago, he was shoot and he died, and that’s why I was doing drugs for a few years. But now I’ve been clean for a year,” he explains. And he looks very sad.
“Oh Marshall Im so sorry,” te say placing your hand on his. He smiles slightly.
“Thanks, it’s been 3 years now, if I was asked that a anno fa I wouldn’t been able to tell you,” he says… “I couldn’t even talk about him without crying o wanting to cry,” he says.
te don’t say anything te just stand up and give him a hug. Which sort of shocks him cuz it takes him a few secondi to hug te back, after a few secondi after he hugs te back te let go and sit back down in the chair.
“Uh…” he says confused.
“Don’t get your hopes up, I did that because of your friend,” te say.
“Gee thanks,” he says then smiles. “Maybe I should be sad più often,” he says with an evil smirk.
“Haha don’t even try,” te say and get up. Then the doorbell thing buzzes…. Marshall stands up and goes to leaves the room without saying anything. *fuck* te think….*I guess I’ll tell him later* te say following him out the room… te go sit in the cucina once te see the kids running in there. Marshall brings the pizzas in and sets them on the tavolo along with Mountain Dew and Red Bull. te decide to take a Red toro and a piece of pizza with everything on it, Marshall sits successivo to te and get the same thing. The kids keep staring at te and Marshall like something happened in the room…
“What?” Marshall asks with a mouth full of pizza.
“Why did te go in the room with my mom?” Jake asks with a smile.
“She had to talk to me,” he risposte like hes guessing the answer and like hes confused.
“Oh sure,” he says then continues to eat.
“Whats that supposed to mean?” te ask glaring at your son.
“Nothing, it was just a question,” he says not looking at te but down at his plate.
After te finish eating, everyone decides to watch a movie without even asking te what te wanna do. te just shrug it off and follow the others into the living room, theres only one spot open and of course, it’s right successivo to Marshall. te sit down watching the smiles on the kid’s faces. “Ok guys te really need to stop that,” te say giving everyone the evil eye.
“Hey don’t look at me like that, I did nothing,” Marshall says holding up his hands like there was a cop telling him to put his hands up. te watch Obsessed. The whole time no one talks…. te sit there wishing te could tell Marshall how te fell but your so nervous, you’re scared to tell him thinking he my not like te no più cuz te lied to him. After the movie is over the kids disappear downstairs as if they don’t care what te think. te sit there in the living room successivo to Marshall, nervous as fuck. te kinda don’t wanna tell him no more, but then te do. te sigh loudly, which causes Marshall to stare at you. “You ok?” he asks.
“No, I no...I … I … I damn it,” te say annoyed as your phone starts to ring…you sit there…
“Are te gonna answer that?” Marshall asks.
“No, I …I cant cuz I want to tell te something but I don’t know how,” te say.
“Just say it. That’s what I do,” he says motioning te for to say something. te take a deep breath.
“Fine,” te sigh. “I’ve been lying to you,” te start.
“Huh?” he asks.
“I umm been lying on how I detto that I don’t like te cuz of who te are. Well I do like you, I have sense the time te came to my house,” te say, you’re shaking badly.
“You’re shaking,” he says.
“Yeah well Im not good at these kind of things,” te say. “And the only reason I didn’t ever wanna get into a relationship is because of Jordan. He broke my heart, I don’t know if Im even over him, but I hate him so much,” te say. “But I miss him, I loved him,” te say. “Do te know what its like to have someone break your cuore like that?” te ask him almost crying.
“Yes, I do,” he says.
“He don’t even care about his son, he wont even send child support,” te say ignoring what he just said. “I can’t believe I loved that asshole, I wasted over 13 years of my life with that asshole the only thing good that I got out of that relationship was Jake,” te say starting to cry. “And I never wanted to start a relationship with te cuz I didn’t wanna get hurt again,” te say crying. He reaches over to te and hugs you.
“Uh?” Hailie says confused. Marshall lets go of te and te wipe your eyes. te both stare at her. “Did I….?” she starts.
“No,” te say quickly.
“What is it Hailie baby,” Marshall asks. *Aww hes such a sweet father, I mean look at that tattoo; he loves his bambini so much. Damn it I wish Jordan could Amore Jake as much as Marshall loves his girls* te think.
“I have to tell te guys something,” Hailie says. “Jake and I have been going out for the past 3 weeks. Please don’t be mad daddy I really like him,” Hailie says.
“Uhh…” Marshall says like that’s all he can get out. Then he looks over at you.
“Just forget everything I said!!” te yell then run out of the room and to the kitchen.
“Did I?” te hear Hailie ask from the living room.
“No, te can go out with Jake, but only because hes Abby’s son,” te hear Marshall say. te stand in the corner of the cucina wiping your eyes and trying not to cry anymore.
Marshall walks into the kitchen. “I don’t wanna talk!” te say before he even gets close to you.
“Fine, sorry,” he says and walks on the other side of the cucina looking all depressed and whatnot… He sits down at the tavolo and puts his head in his hands. te sigh seeing him like that, but te don’t wanna get into a relationship now that the kids are together it’s just too odd… About 15 minuti go by, te stopped crying and te turn around too see Marshall still in the same position as before…. te quietly walk over him; te place your hand on his shoulder, which makes him jump up quickly he looks up at you, he looks really sad.
“Look, I know I just told te I liked you, but now that we found out about the kids, I think its best we stay friends… for now,” te say with your hand still on his shoulder. He sighs.
“Yeah I guess,” he says sadly but somewhat happy, because te detto “for now”
“Well I think I better take Jake home now, I gotta see what that call was all about,” te say.
“Yeah ok,” he says.
“Jake! Come on we gotta go!” te yell, he comes into the kitchen.
“Ok,” he says. “You two ok?” he asks.
“Yes we fine,” Marshall answers.
“Ok,” he says.
“Honey, say goodbye to Hailie, then go wait in the car,” te say.
“Ok,” he says confused… te sigh.
“Well I’ll see te later,” te say.
“I guess,” he says sadly.
“Stop recitazione like it’s the end of the world,” te say.
“Don’t worry Im fine,” he says being all defensive te can tell hes thinking it is the end of the world….
“Ok, well bye,” te say then take te hand off his shoulder and leave the house…
te arrive home; te go straight to your room and slam the door shut. te lied your not fine at all, te want to be with Marshall, te feel like the kids just ruined your life. In addition, te know Marshall feels the same; te can’t ruin Jake and Hailie’s relationship just cuz te wanna be with Marshall. te start to cry… a lot about everything te told Marshall… and how te can’t be with him. “Mom te ok?” Jake asks knocking on the door.
“GO AWAY!” te scream towards the door in tears.
“Fine!” he yells. te sit there and sob… your phone starts to ring, te figure its Wanda cuz she called earlier but te didn’t answer. te pick up the phone but its says ‘Unknown caller’
