Crazy In Love (an Eminem love story)

Is there even light across a dark road? I thought to myself. I looked up at the ceiling in the school. "I had the only seat against a wall. I stared at my ex-boyfriend Christopher everyone calls him Chris for short or Batman. "Ariadne Renessemee." My teacher called. "Here." I said looking at my bag. "Class I want you to welcome a new student. His name is Marshall." "Ariadne let Marshall sit by you sweetheart." Mrs. Right said looking at me. I shifted and looked out the window. "TEACHERS PET BITCH!" A boy named Marcus chanted before laughing in my face. "Hi I'm Ariadne." (My name is Prenouned Ari-ed-ne) He smiled. "I'm Marshall." He said shaking my hand. Chris looked back locking eyes with me for what felt like a infinite amount of time. "2x+13=21." I knew this by heart. "Ms. Renessemee what is the answer." "4" I said quietly. "Correct." At the end of class she let us work with partners so ofcourse as if on cue Chris walks back here. "What do you want asswhole." I said jokingly. "My grade up." I looked at Marshall, he was half way done with the sheet and had his head turned away from me. I kicked Chris and watched as he hoppled off. "Marshall." I said as the bell rang. He stood up turning in the sheet and walking out. So, I followed. "Marshall." He turned around looking lost in a way. "Hey Ariadne." He said looking at his classes. "Let me see." I said looking at mine. "We have the same classes." I said looking up at him. "Your eyes are beautiful." I said smiling. "Thanks." He said. "Come with me." I said walking with him to our English class. We sat in the back and when we finished he started drawing. I saw my cousin Alicia-Aliana crying outside. "Ms. Daniel can I use the bathroom?" "Ofcourse." She said smiling. I ran out to her. "Leelee what's wrong?" "My dad!" "What did he do?" "He hit me and my mom's." I walked her the bathroom. "Show me." She pulled up her shirt showing the giant bruise on her stomach, it was the shape of a bat. "Can I come live with you." "Okay." I said grabbing her and walking into the classroom with her. I sat by Marshall again and Leelee came over. "Holy Shitzenet." I said looking at his drawing. He laughed and looked in my eyes. "When were you born?" "Janaury 1,1975" I said smiling. "You can draw really good." I added in amazement. I grabbed my book and looked at words. "It's a miracle I survived." He said. "Yes it is." I said not paying any attention. "A miracle is what seems impossible but happens anyways." I looked up at him his smile bright. Our friend Demetre walked in. "Who's the new kid Ari." "Marshall meet Demetre. Demetre meet Marshall. You're going to like each other." I said watching Leelee tip over and throw up. "Holy shit." I mumbled looking at her. I grabbed a towel and walked her down to the nurse with Marshall. After dropping her off Marshall asked me, "What happened? Why did she just throw up?" "She's sick her fake ass dad hit her with a bat earlier." "My girlfriend hit me with a chair one time." "Holy shiznet what did you do?" I ran out. It's my third year in ninth grade and I'm thinking of dropping out." "Marshall, don't this year will be fun. I promise." I said as we grabbed our stuff and walked to the lunch room. He pulled out a card. "Marshall, don't." "What?" He asked. "The card." I handed him five dollars. "At least for lunch this week." "I can't take it." "Marshall, take the goddamn money." He looked at me appalled. After a while he took it and brought lunch. "Thank you so much." He said looking at me then waving at his friend. "No problem. Bring your friend over here if you want." He looked at me, smiling and walked to Deshaun aka Proof. They walked back, plopping into the seat. "Hey Ari." Deshaun said smirking at me. "Hi Proof." I said throwing a paper ball at him. "Ariadne can you show me the ropes?" "Okay, first you have to met people and when you know them well enough use there nicknames. Like you could be M&M, or like how Deshaun is Proof. If your smart you go to the dances, or any other public event that shows 'Hi I'm here.' Now lunch. If your a outsider than you sit at the table to the far left in the corner. If your popular you eat outside. If your like me you eat right in the middle because, like in the book The Outsiders by S.E. whatever her last name is your a Soc or a Greaser. We are in between like The inbetweeners." They looked at me with admiration. "What?" "You're not white trash. You're crazy sexy cool, chillin, You play your position,You never step out of line." They both said smiling. "Wow never knew that. Shit Marshall we gotta go." I said hugging Proof bye. In the hall we were talking, "How you know Mr. Holton?" I asked refering to Proof. "We've lived on the same block for four or five years." He said as we walked to our last class.

After School
Marshall's POV
I walked to the bus with DeShaun thinking about the brown eyed beauty. She was walking fast to the bus. She rode the same bus as me and even sat with me. "Where you live at?" I asked trying to make conversation. "In the Suburbs. I hate the kids over there so sometimes my dad let's me walk over to Proof's or Demetre's." "Usually dad's are protective bout that." "My dad is chill. He knows I'm smart and won't fuck round with my best friends." She said braiding her brown hair. "So basically you're book and street smart right?" I asked pulling off my coat. "Yeah pretty much." She said smiling. I pulled out my notebook and started drawing. "Marshall." Deshaun said poking me in my head. "What?" I asked. "Let's go. Ari is letting us come over." He said dragging me to her house. She was unlocking the door when we got to her. We all walked in and her dad was laying on the couch with I guess her mom or step-mom. "Daddy." She said hugging him. "Who is she?" Ariadne asked looking at the woman. "Where is my mother?" She asked. "She's at work sweetheart." "Who is this woman?" "Daddy's friend." He lied in her face. She turned around. "Can y'all go upstairs for a couple of minutes?" She asked before walking into the kitchen. We dashed into her room and sat down. "Yo M, her dad lost track of time." "I know she probably gone call her moms." We laughed before hearing a scream. We ran down and she and her dad were having a fist fight. But, she was winning. We looked at a different woman who was in the corner crying. "ARIADNE!" She screamed pushing her self over to Ari then dragging her off of her father. "I'm sorry Momma." She said hugging her then walking to us. "Sorry bout that shall we?" She walked to me and Deshaun limping. We helped her up the stairs and walked to her room closing the door. "What happened?" We asked looking at her nervously shaking. "I called my mom he comes in and throws me on the floor and so I stood up and punched him but, you see I'm strong just not enough to have someone cheat on my mother it's unacceptable." She said smiling. God help me!

Until The End Of Time

Ariadne's POV

December 25,1995

I woke up this morning and heard the tv saying something about disaster in the world and it make me wonder where I'm going. (Now Played by: Brittany Murphy [my usual but, she's so pretty]) I curled my hair and walked in to wake my cousin up. "Leelee. I'm going down to Proof's I'll be back in a couple of hours." I walked to my car my ponytail high and out of my face. Driving back down to Detriot was scary since I feared that place with all my heart. I walked to the back of Proof's place and slid the door open. Locking it behind me. "Deshaun Holton." I said walking to the front of the house. "ARIADNE!" He yelled running up to me and hugging me. "Just in time." "Ayo Proof we gotta go she's in labor." A familiar voice echoed throughout the house. "Okay but, come down here I gotta surprise." I looked at Marshall. Sweat covered face and a diaper bag on his shoulder. "ARIADNE!" He shouted and hugged me. "Hi Marshall." I said hugging him softly. "We missed you so much you don't know it." "I missed you and Proof so much. But, we can catch up in the car." I said walking out behind him.

Car ride

"So where exactly did you move?" Marshall asked. "I moved to a quiet town in Virginia but, I'm about to move up to NYC for this broadway show." I said my Detriot accent coming back in. "That's amazing." Proof said. "Maybe when you get the record deal you can come see me. Or when my graduation comes around." Marshall nodded. "When is it?" He asked pulling into the Hosptial. "June 10th." I said. "I'm getting my masters degree in Art and Journalism." I smiled. We ran into the Hosptial. "Do you know where Kimberly Scott happens to be?" "B514." She said. Marshall, Proof, and myself ran up into the room. We had to wait behind ofcourse. "Ari, can I tell you something?" "Sure Proof." "Marshall is in love with you." I cocked my head. "I know and I don't care. He cheated so I left." "You know that was selfish right. Everybody was rootin' for you. Everybody." I rolled my eyes. "Listen here Deshaun, Marshall decided in a hour he was gon cheat. I decided in a minute I was going to leave and not return for four years." "That's not fair." I looked at him. "I know. But I can't be around him. I'm surprised I didn't throw up when I saw him." "Damn you need to like handle that." He said rubbing my back. "I only came back to see you, Demetre, my mother, and my sister." "You have a sister." "A lot of fucked up things happened when I left." I said rubbing my teary eyes. "How old and what's her name?" "She's 20 and her name is Briadne." "Y'all 3 years apart." "She has a daughter who's three named Lisa." I said looking at my watch. "Y'all wanna meet Hailie Jade?" "Nigga, the fuck you think." Proof said walking with me in. I brought out the gift bags. "Hey Kim." I said looking my former friend in the eyes. "Hey Nay." She said softly. I slid the gift bag in her bag looking at the baby girl in her arms. "I'm sorry bout everything." She said. I rolled my eyes. "The more you tell me the less I believe you. I wish the best of luck to both of y'all but, I have to go now." I said walking outside. I called Demetre. "D!" "ARI! You back in town?" "Hell Yeah!" I said smiling. "Where you at?" "I'm finna walk to Kinko's would you like to join me." "I'll be there in ten." He said. I walked out the Hosptial and took the five minute walk to my favorite restaurant."Ariadne Dashnel." I looked up at my best friend in the whole wide world. "DEMETRE!" I screamed running to my best friend and hopping in his arms. "Oh my god I missed you so god damn much. Oh Jesus." I said feeling tears fall. "No crying Baby Gal." He said smiling. I walked with him to the bar. "You are 22 right now so whatcha wanna do for your birthday." "I'm throwing a fucking party." I said taking a sip of my Bacardi. "You gon be 23." "Damn which makes you how old again." He popped my hand and smiled. "I'll be 24 dumbass." "I don't see you less then 6 months away from getting a degree. So I am obviously smarter than your dumbass." We laughed at the wackness of the conversation. "Who are you here to see?" He asked me smiling. "My mother has cancer so I'm paying for her treatment and going to see my sister Briadne (Bre-ad-ne)." "You saw M-" "Yes and I wish I hadn't." He tilted his head. "You left everyone. Every friend! For his mistake, not our's his." "I didn't go by myself and second he broke me so, yes I'm going to be an asswhole and leave. Nobody needed a farewell. Just a call that said I'm leaving. Yes it was wrong and yes it was dumb but, I do not give a single shit. Now my grey eyed baby I have to go now my dear."

Marshall's POV

I looked up and she was gone. "Proof what the hell happened." He dragged me out. "I told her and she flipped. Kim apologized and it was the end of that. " "She's still pissed?" "Yes, Marshall Mathers I am." We turned around and there Ariadne stood. "I have input a lot of money to stay away from you. My actions not only hurt you but, others around me and for that I say I'm sorry. Now I'm going with my sister to the mall I'll be back in a hour or two." She said walking out. "I hate it when she's mad makes me look like the bad guy." "DUMMY DON'T YOU GET IT? YOU ARE THE BAD GUY! SHE LEFT ALL OF US TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! She didn't want to leave but, Virginia is the ONE place you refuse to go to so that's why. She's moving to New York and she is not going to help you get a deal. She is doing this for her not you." Deshaun yelled. "Maybe I can convince her to move back here." Deshaun shook with anger. "Marshall please know if she never comes back here you're losing two vital friends." I looked at him nodding.
Ariadne's POV
"Briadne if I were to finish the broadway show in New York I'd have enough money to potentially move back out here. Proof misses me, Demetre misses me, my mother, our dad......" I paused looking at her. "You should do what makes you happy." I smiled. "I shall do that."
June 31st, 1996
After the stuggle of graduation and the broadway show me and Leelee are on the way to DETRIOT. I miss everybody. Kind of. I don't miss Marshall he can go to hell for all I care. Inconsiderate bastard. I thought about it on the plane ride. No matter my ill-feeling for Marshall I'm letting him, Kim, and Hailie move in since it's a seven room house and enough room for everybody. Deshaun and Demetre are going to live with us also. I hope with all my heart that there with be no bullshit. But with these people you never know.

Ariadne's POV
I sat on my bed my new Aaliyah album playing in the background. I looked at my pink hair. I liked it temporarily it was different. There was a knock on my door so, I stood up and opened it. "Hey Ari can we talk." "What is there to talk about Marshall?" He walked in locking the door behind himself. "Everything like why you're hanging on to something that's five years old." "DID YOU GET THE LETTER? IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING YOU'RE ASKING!" I screamed. He took it out his pocket. "She hid it from me for five years Ariadne." "Read it." I said pulling some jeans on.
Marshall's POV
'Dear Marshy,
Please understand I have to go. I know about you and her but, I couldn't believe it until I saw it. She's what you want not me and I hope that as your friend we can look past it. Now it's not my attention to hurt anybody. I love everybody here and I'll come back only if you call me. Or if I find out something is needed.
I love you
Ariadne Dashnel'
I looked up at her. She was crying but managed to get out,"All I wanted was a fucking call. I would have stayed." She said wiping her face. I hugged her. "I'm here now." I picked her up and laid her on the bed. "Marshall, what about Kim?" "I've messed up I have and it's my chance to give you what we want." I whispered in her ear. I rubbed my hands up her back and took off her shirt. "Marshall." She said I just ignored her. "Ariadne." I said kissing her neck. "Marshall." I looked at her brown eyes. "Yes Nay." It was her favorite nickname. "Nothing Marsh." We made out for a couple of minutes and then that turned into the way my daughter was made but, this time with protection. We were laying on each other wrapped up in a sheet. When I was messing round with her it felt right. I felt complete. She slid out of bed and walked to her closet, putting on a robe. "Get dressed. People don't need to know about this." "Baby Girl chill we got the house to our self. Demetre,Deshaun, Alicia-Aliana, Kim, and Hailie are at a Demetre's mothers til seven." "It's six so can we go chill downstairs?" "Of course." I picked her up. I put her on the couch and put on LL Cool J's I'm Bad album. We lip-synced but, when I need love came on. "When I'm alone in my room sometimes I stare at the wall
and in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
Telling me I need a girl who's as sweet as a dove
for the first time in my life, I see I need love
There I was giggling about the games
that I had played with many hearts, and I'm not saying no names
Then the thought occured, tear drops made my eyes burn
as I said to myself look what you've done to her
I can feel it inside, I can't explain how it feels
all I know is that I'll never dish another raw deal
Playing make believe pretending that I'm true
holding in my laugh as I say that I love you
Saying amor kissing you on the ear
whispering I love you and I'll always be here
Although I often reminsce I can't believe that I found
a desire for true love floating around
Inside my soul because my soul is cold
one half of me deserves to be this way till I'm old
But the other half needs affection and joy
and the warmth that is created by a girl and a boy
I need love
I need love

Romance sheer delight how sweet
I gotta find me a girl to make my life complete
You can scratch my back, we'll get cozy and huddle
I'll lay down my jacket so you can walk over a puddle
I'll give you a rose, pull out your chair before we eat
kiss you on the cheek and say ooh girl you're so sweet
It's deja vu whenever I'm with you
I could go on forever telling you what I do
But where you at you're neither here or there
I swear I can't find you anywhere
Damn sure you ain't in my closet, or under my rug
this love search is really making me bug
And if you know who you are why don't you make yourself seen
take the chance with my love and you'll find out what I mean
Fantasy's can run but they can't hide
and when I find you I'm gon' pour all my love inside
I need love
I need love

I wanna kiss you hold you never scold you just love you
suck on you neck, caress you and rub you
Grind moan and never be alone
if you're not standing next to me you're on the phone
Can't you hear it in my voice, I need love bad
I've got money but love's something I've never had
I need your ruby red lips sweet face and all
I love you more than a man who's 10 feet tall
I'd watch the sunrise in your eyes
we're so in love when we hug we become paralyzed
Our bodies explode in ecstasy unreal
you're as soft as a pillow and I'm as hard as steel
It's like a dream land, I can't lie I never been there
maybe this is an experience that me and you can share
Clean and unsoiled yet sweaty and wet
I swear to you this is something that I'll never forget
I need love
I need love

See what I mean I've changed I'm no longer
a play boy on the run I need something that's stronger
Friendship, trust honor respect admiration
this whole experience has been such a revelation
It's taught me love and how to be a real man
to always be considerate and do all I can
Protect you you're my lady and you mean so much
my body tingles all over from the slightest touch
Of your hand and understand I'll be frozen in time
till we meet face to face and you tell me you're mine
If I find you girl I swear I'll be a good man
I'm not gonna leave it in destiny's hands
I can't sit and wait for my princess to arrive
I gotta struggle and fight to keep my dream alive
I'll search the whole world for that special girl
when I finally find you watch our love unfurl
I need love
I need love

Girl, listen to me
When I be sittin in my room all alone, staring at the wall
fantasies, they go through my mind
And I've come to realize that I need true love
and if you wanna give it to me girl make yourself seen
I'll be waiting
I love you" We sang to each other. She stopped the CD and called a couple of friends. "We throwing a party. I had Demetre's mom watch Hailie so we good." She said throwing on Aaliyah's first album. "Happy Friday!" She said pausing the CD. She ran upstairs and I walked to my room. I picked out my outfit. It was a blue shirt and some baggy pants. I heard a knock at the door and saw her fly down the stairs. "Liyah." She screamed. I walked down and the Aaliyah was there. "How do you know her?" I asked. "She lived with me for two years." "I'm Aaliyah." Aaliyah said shaking my hand. "I'm Marshall." I said putting my hand on Ariadne's shoulder. "Excuse my half nakedness." She said standing in mini-skirt, and a bra. She smiled putting dragging Aaliyah upstairs. I put on Feel Me Flow By Naughty By Nature. She came down with a corset on and a leather jacket. Aaliyah and Ariadne ran into the back and placed lights everywhere and placed strobe lights on the side of the house. They ran in and looked at each other before laughing. She took of the corset revealing a tube top and running upstairs. "She needs some sweats cause she couldn't breathe." "I could tell." I said smiling. She came down some in her favorite pair of sweats. As the hours passed there was no sign of the roommates but, it was apparent she wasn't worried. Ariadne was dancing and enjoying this last minute party. Aaliyah had a smile on her face. I finally decided to drink. To drink to the point I was hammered. To the point that I was making out with Ariadne. To the point of passing out.
Next morning
I woke up and Aaliyah was on the floor and Ariadne had her head on my chest. She had her eyes wide open. "Aaliyah your momma called she waiting outside." She nodded, stretched ,and ran outside. Ariadne slid out of the bed and walked to her room. I followed her and she laid on the bed looking at the wall and covering herself witha blanket protected. I walked into her room and she looked at me. "I'm scarred." She said her lips quivering. "Why?" "Did you use protection?" She asked. I thought long and hard. "Yes." She sighed in relief. We walked downstairs and the mess was ridiculous. I walked outside and a note was there.
'Dear Marshall,
I walked in and you and your slut Ariadne where naked on each other. So. It's over you're done. As for Ariadne she coo cause she hates you anyway and was probably drunk. I'll be home at six and you are going to have to find somewhere else to sleep.
Kim'
I stormed in it was six in the mornin. Ariadne was cleaning up the living room so I walked upstairs packed up everything that was mine and set it on the steps. "Marshall what are you doin?" "She knows." Ari turned around. "You need a place to sleep?" "Yeah." "Well as long as you stay on your side you can stay in my room." I smiled hugging her. She finished cleaning the house at eight and then Deshaun, Alicia, Demetre, Hailie, and Kim walked in. Everybody went to their rooms but, Hailie stayed down with us.
Ariadne's POV
I loved Marshall but I also hated him. I loved him cause he loved me but, I hated him because he loved Kim. Hailie crawled over to me.

Lesson Learned
December 1,1998
Ariadne's POV
It had been a couple of months since I had seen Marshall. Excuse me Eminem. I remembered the call so well.
Flashback
June 13,1998
"Ari I DR. DRE WANTS TO SEE ME!!!" He yelled through the phone excited.
"Wow Marshall that's amazing."
"You gotta foot stuck up your ass? What's wrong?"
"Marshall, when you blow up we are hardly going to see each other. You and Kim are engaged how the hell you think she going to feel? She gonna run off to someone who can give her what she needs."
"Ariadne you work 20 hour days sometimes as a actor. Let me help."
"I never said I didn't like working 20 hour days I do what I don't like is I might have to raise your seed more than you!"
"Fuck you Ariadne."
"Fuck me? FUCK ME MARSHALL?! NO FUCK YOU! I'M TIRED OF YOU TALKIN' TO ME ANYWAY YOU SEE FIT SO IF THIS DON'T WORK I TOLD YOU MARSHALL!"
Present
There was a knock at the door knocking me out my thoughts. I stood up and opened the door. There he stood, his hair blonde, his blue eyes poked out more than the gray, and his tattoos showing. So I did the most reasonable thing. I hopped in his arms and kissed his forehead. "I missed you so much." I cried. He held me tightly in his arms and kissed me on the lips. "I missed you too. You don't even know." I started crying and while still hugging him and we rocked each other back and forth. "I'm sorry about my out burst." I learned to value our friendship since he got jumped at the airport after we stopped talking. "I need to take you down to California." "For how long?" "Bout a week." "When?" I asked. "Right now." He said. I grabbed my jacket and packed a duffel bag before hopping in a car with him to the airport.
Air plane
I looked out the darkness of the sky. Marshall sat in a seat next to me sleeping. I turned and stared at him until he opened his eyes. "Fuckin' werido." He said kissing me. "Am not." I said laying on his chest. "I need you to meet a girl I've been living with for the last couple of months." "What's her name?" "Skye." I nodded. We got off the plane and saw a girl. Her blonde hair, electric blue eyes, and thin shape is what had my blood pressure up. "Hi I'm Ariadne Dashnel." I said moving my brown hair out my eyes. She paused getting lost in my hostile look. "I'm Skye Welliams." Marshall put our bags in the trunk of the car and I sat in the back while he stay with Skye in the front. I focused on the ugliness of the weather. I thought back a couple of months. I was pregnant by Marshall. I went in one week there was a sound so musical. My baby's heartbeat. The next week. "Ariadne." Marshall's voice said snapping me out the trance. "Yeah." I said. "You okay?" He asked reaching back and holding my hand. 'NO MUTHAFUCKA I MISCARRIED YOUR BABY AND I DON'T LIKE THIS BITCH!' I thought but instead I just nodded.
House
Marshall and her walked into a different room. I walked into the spare bedroom. I laid on the bed and sighed. "Cupcake." His echoed through room. "Marshmellow." I said hugging him. He threw me on the bed. I groaned and held him in my arms. "Marshall." I said kissing him. "What?" He asked. "I have to tell you something." I swallowed. "What." "In July I found out I was pregnant but, about three weeks later." I stopped, the tears choking me. "I wish you would have told me." I walked to the window and looked out. "It would have been my own in a couple months." I slammed my hand on the wall. He stood behind me rubbing my back. "Stop it Marshall!" I said brushing my way out into the hall way. "Ariadne." "NO MARSHALL!" I walked to the kitchen where this girl was feelin her self. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at him. "YO WHAT THE FUCK! I HATE IT HERE YOU BETTER FIX THIS SHIT." I screamed my accent comin' out. "Gon have me come out here knowin' damn well I hate it. Fucking dumbass and if yo mofuckin' wife found out you'd be done. Over. Roasted. Turkey is out the oven. Finished." I exclaimed I grabbed my duffel bag and as I tried to walk out he tackled me. "GET OFF!" I screamed kicking him in the stomach. I ran so fast down the stairs and finally I stopped. The rain overpowered me and a sat on the stairs soaked before blacking out.
===================================================================

You Lost Me

When I woke up I was in a bed and Marshall was laying next to me sleeping. I stretched out and put my arm over him. I closed my eyes and felt him open his. "Mini-Thug Ari you could catch a cold dumbass." Marshall's soft voice said. I wonder if he always talked to me in my sleep. "I love you not no Kim it's for Hailie. One day me and you and Hailie will be a family. I promise." I felt his warm lips on my forehead. I opened my eyes and looked up at him then myself. "Where are my clothes?" I looked at the floor and they where laid everywhere. "FUCK!" I screamed. "That's exactly what we did." He said. I groaned my body sore. "The hell did you do to me?" He smirked coming behind me. "I tore that ass up." I turned around punching him lightly in the stomach. He kissed my cheek and walked out. "Aye yo Skyen (Skye's full name is Skyen Pronouned sky-ann) Where you at baby!" He asked before turning around and winking at me. I ran to the closet, all my stuff was on hangers and folded up neatly. I put on my brown shirt and black jeans. I put on my pink lip gloss and my brown jeans before walking to the living room. Skye was on the couch and Marshall was on the ho moving his hips back and forth. I grabbed my camera and took a picture and put it back in my pocket. I grabbed my purse and umbrella and walked out. I grabbed a spare key and had the driver drive me to the beach. I stripped into my two piece and layed on the warm sand. I felt someone in front of me. "Can I do something for you?" I asked not opening my eyes. "I'm sorry I couldn't help but notice how beautiful you were from a far." I opened my eyes and saw a cute guy in front of me. "I'm Ariadne." "I'm Jonathan." He said laying next to me. "Jonathan where you from?" I asked looking at him. "Detriot." I pulled my sunglasses down enough to look at him. "I am too, and it's so nice out here." He sat up and gave me a paper. "Call me anytime you need me." He said hugging me. "Very nice to meet you sweetheart." I left a couple of minutes after he did.

Marshall's house

I walked in just in my two piece and heels and trench coat. "Marshall, I'm back and the craziest thing-" I stopped seeing his reaction. "Marshall, what's wrong." "Skye don't like you, and you walked out without saying shit." I knew what to do to calm his nerves. "Marshall. Baby," I said dropping my coat on the floor. "Why you so mean? And Skye would like me if she wasn't fucking you. I've only gave you what you wanted bout five times so lets times that by fifteen for her." I threw the pictures on the table. "You think Kim is going to let you touch her if she sees this?" "WHAT THE FUCK!" He screamed throughing me against a wall. I grabbed my coat and pulled out a knife, he backed up. "Don't you fuckin' touch me!" I yelled back running into the room. Skye was standing there. "I'm sorry I judged you Skyen." I said walking to her. "Kim hates me, I thought you did too." She said softly. "Marshall loves you. I'm just a special ho to him. My name is not Skyen it's Skyleranna." "Where'd he get the name?" "His head. It's messed up thinking I love him and he doesn't.." She said crying. "I cheated on my boyfriend, Jonathan with Marshall. So, he moved down to Long Beach and His carrer is taking off." "What's his number." "313-365-9387." It was the number I got earlier. "So, you're from Detriot?" She nodded. "Did you meet him today?" "Yes." I said. "You know what's crazy. I hate Marshall but, I love Shady." "You don't get it do you? Marshall is a father, someones fiancé, Eminem is a rapper that's all it's going to be, Shady- I hate him! He ruins everything." "So I'm living with a charming rapper?" "You're living with a charming asswhole." I said standing up. "What do I do?" "Go back to Jonathan. I gotta get home and the only way is to pay for it." "How?" I pulled a card out my wallet. "I worked forty hours for this. No sleep no nothing." "Holy shit." She whispered. "It's 4,000 on this card." "When you leaving?" "It's the seventh so I'm going to try for tonight." We went downstairs and she checked if he was here. "I'm going to pack up and go. It was very nice meeting you Ariadne. Try to keep in touch." She said giving me a number. I called the airport and reserved a seat then I started packing. "Ariadne!" He called out for me. I walked out and and Shady was there. "I'm not talking to Shady nor am I talking to Eminem so get out my face!" I screamed looking him dead in the eyes. I slid my packed bags under the bed. "Have you seen Skyen." "Her name is Skyleranna and yes she went out." He smiled, "Good." He said picking me up and laying me down. I pushed him off. "Stop!" I yelled. "I'm going home tonight!" I blurted out and he stopped. "You're lying." I showed him the information that was printed. "How?" He asked. "Don't worry about it. I'm about to go." He ran into his room and I heard him grab something, he came back in. "Please read these on the plane. Wait can I take you to the airport?" "We got 3 hours left with each other." "I'll be right back." He said running out. I grabbed my bags, my meds, and the notebook also the ticket. I took a seat and called my mother. "Hello." "Mommy." I said. "Ariadne! Where have you been!?" "California. Marshall wanted me out here to meet a couple of people but, I'm coming home soon." "How soon?" "Tonight Mom." "Okay well I'm going to go now okay." "Okay. I love you." With that we hung up. Marshall busted in the house with two boxes. Both from Tiffany and Co. One had Kim's name, one had mine. "Can you give this to her?" He asked. "Sure." I said placing it in my bag. "You ready to go?" I nodded. We walked outside and put the stuff in the trunk. I looked up and Jonathan was there. "Jonathan what are you doing here?" "You're going home?" "Yeah." He hugged me. "It was nice meeting you but, have you seen Skyleranna?" "Nope." I said getting in the car. Marshall got in and it just started pouring. "I'mma miss you." "You my ho." I said smiling. "I'm sorry about what you had to see. Ya know Skye, she's not a ho." "Marshall, she left. She missed that Jonathan dude so she packed up and left." He had a sad look on his face. We were at the airport. We got through security and waited for the plane. "Ms.Ariadne Dashnel." They said over the intercom. We hugged each other and finally after a couple of tears he let me go putting the Tiffany's necklace on me. "I love you." I said walking through the tunnel. "I love you too Ariadne Dashnel." "See you in four weeks Marshall Mathers!" I said walking into the plane.
==================================================================
I stepped off the plane and saw the most happiest thing standing within thirty feet from me. I turned around and started crying before running to my family and friends. "WELCOME HOME ARIADNE!" They shouted. I hugged my mother and my tears still fell. I spotted Hailie and ran to her. "Hi baby." I said smiling at her. She hugged me. "Hi Ari." She said hugging me. "You are so pretty." She smiled. I drove home and collapsed on my bed tired.

Freedom

Ariadne's POV
July 9,1996
I went with Marshall to his concert. Infinite wasn't sellin' nothin' but a copy a day. "Here's my break." He mumbled. I smiled at him. He climbed on the stage. People who came in support came in. "Proof hit the beat." Deshaun smirked clicking a button. "Oh yeah, this is Eminem baby, back up in that motherfucking ass
One time for your mother fucking mind, we represent the 313
You know what I'm saying?, cause they don't know shit about this
For the 9-6

[Verse 1:]
Ayo, my pen and paper cause a chain reaction
To get your brain relaxing, a zany acting maniac in action
A brainiac in fact son, you mainly lack attraction
You look insanely whack when just a fraction of my tracks run
My rhyming skills got you climbing hills
I travel through your mind into your spine like siren drills
I'm sliming grills of roaches, with sprayed on disinfectants
Twist the necks of rappers 'til their spinal column disconnects
We disinfect then check the monologue, turn your system up
Twist them up, and indulge in the marijuana smog
This is the season for noise pollution contamination
Examination of more cartoons than animation
My lamination of narration
Hit's a snare and bass of track fucked up rapper interrogation
When I declare invasion, there ain't no time to be stare and gazing
I turn the stage into a barren wasteland...
I'm Infinite

[Chorus:]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it serving a sentence for murderin' instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite

[Verse 2:]
Bust it, I let the beat commence so I can beat the sense of your elite defense
I got some meat to mince, a crew to stomp and two feet to rinse
I greet the gents and ladies, I spoil loyal fans
I foil plans and leave fluids leaking like oil pans
My coil hands around this microphone are lethal
One thought in my cerebral is deeper then a Jeep full of people
MC's are feeble, I came to cause some pandemonium
Battle a band of phony MC's and stand the lonely one
Imitator, Intimidator, Stimulator, Simulator of data, Eliminator
There's never been a greater since the burial of Jesus
Fuck around and catch all of the venereal diseases
My thesis will smash a stereo to pieces
My accapella releases classic masterpieces through telekinesis
And eases you mentally, gently, sentimentally, instrumentally
With entity, dementedly meant to be Infinite

[Chorus:]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it serving a sentence for murderin' instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite

[Verse 3:]
Man I got evidence I'm never dense and I been clever ever since
My residence was hesitant to do some shit that represents the M-O
So I'm assuming all responsibility
Cause there's a monster will in me that always wants to kill MC's
Mic messaler, slamming like a wrestler
Here to make a mess of a lyric smuggling embezzler
No one is specialer, My skill is intergalactical
I get cynical act a fool then I send a crew back to school
I never packed a tool or acted cool, it wasn't practical
I'd rather let a tactical, tact full track tickle your fancy
In fact I can't see, or can't imagine
A man who ain't a lover of beats or a fan of scratching
This is for my family, the kid who had a cameo on my last jam
Plus the man who never had a plan B
Be all you can be, cause once you make an instant hit
I'm tensed a bit and tempted when I see the sins my friends commit...
I'm Infinite

[Chorus:]
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it serving a sentence for murderin' instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite
You heard of hell well I was sent from it
I went to it serving a sentence for murderin' instruments
Now I'm trying to repent from it
But when I hear the beat I'm tempted to make another attempt at it...
I'm Infinite"
We all cheered for him.
Marshall's POV
2 weeks later
So Dre let me leave two weeks early because, I don't know it was generous. I walked up the walkway of my home. I looked at Ariadne and smiled. She was sleeping and Demetre was sitting next to her watching Titanic. I creeped my way up stairs and into mine and Kim's room. She was sleeping next to Hailie. I kicked off my shoes and my sweatshirt and slid into bed wrapping my arms around her.
Ariadne's POV
I walked into the kitchen and read through a script. All of them weren't clicking but one. It was called Girl, Interrupted. If I could win the part of Daisy Randone maybe, just maybe it could bring in more. The broadway shows only gave me thousands but, I'm interested in millions. So I memorized my lines and called the people which said I could come down today. So I did.
And I won the role. I walked to my room and a rose and a note. I picked up the card.
Everyday I'll send you a flower
Even until my darkest hour
A note that purposes my love
And sends that you are as gentle as a dove
My name begins with a L
Like the love you'll have in your heart
L
I smelled the rose. "Ariadne, we got a surprise." I turned around and looked at Demetre. "Who gave you those?" "Someone who's name begins with a L." He smiled and grabbed my hand tugging me down the stairs. "What are you doing?"I asked nearly plucking him in his eyebrow. We walked out side and there he stood. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "He let me come home early." I looked at him. "You just gon stand there or hug me." I ran over to him and hugged him. "I missed you a lot when you left Ariadne." Marshall said, "I had to cook my own dinners, make my own bed, argue with my pillow. It's a lot of work being alone." He laughed. I looked up at him smiling. "You missed me?" "A lot." He said smiling.
July 1999
We all sat having 'family' time when suddenly my phone vibrated. "Shit I'm sorry." I said answering it.
"Hello?"
"My name is L."
"Well L how did you get my number?"
"You have your people and I have mine gorgeous"
"When can we meet?"
"Hollywood, California. I'll purchase your ticket."
"Can I have your name?"
"Not yet sweetheart you just pack a bag for tomorrow morning I'll be waiting."
"Okay thanks." I said hanging up. I ran upstairs and packed a bag. I couldn't believe what I was doing. I sat the bag on the floor and laid in bed. I was noticeably getting thinner and thinner. I knew cause my flat stomach. I put my hair in a bun and climbed under the covers. Hopefully he was cute. Hopefully he was a actor.
Next Morning
I hopped off that plane with no sleep. I walked down the stairs and some cameras took pictures of me. That was odd. I walked outside and there somebody was with my name. "You are as beautiful as your pictures. Now I apologize for the fact you can't see my face but, it's for our convince." He said opening the car door for me and slid in behind me. He took off the veil and for the first time I saw DiCaprio. Ah shit. God why? "So how long have you had a crush on me?" I asked. (I changed her age it was mandatory) "Since I first saw you in New York." "I was like 20." "Your performance was that of perfection." I blushed. "What were you doin' in New York?" He smirked. "I was creating a similar form of art." "A film?" He nodded. I looked in his greenish blue eyes. We drove to his house. But in the process I fell in a puddle. "Shit." I mumbled. He turned around and carried me into the house. He laid me on the leather couch and walked into a different room. When he came back he had a towel and a smile on his face. We starred at each other and he mechanically was wiping my face as light as a feather. "You are very stunning." "Thank you." I said standing up. "Do you mind if I take shower real quick." He shook his head. "Follow me." He said placing his hand on my waist. He walked me to a bath room. "Make yourself at home." He said closing the door. I peeled the wet clothes off. I hopped in the shower and felt the warm water on me. I heard my phone ringing, so quickly I answered it.
"Hello."
"So what's his name?" Demetre's super happy voice said.
"His name is........ LEONARDO!" I screamed.
"DiCaprio?" He gasped. "AMEN!" He screamed. "Oh my god didn't see that comin' oh god. Shit Leonardo Mother Fuckin' DiCaprio."
"I gotta go." I said smiling.
The phone clicked. I got out the shower and put on my silk dress and robe on. I walked out and he was on the phone. I walked into a room and sat my bag down. Then my best friend Marshall called.
"Hello."
"So me and my wife are going out of town-"
"Nope I decided to never have kids and I sho' as hell ain't takin' take of yours."
"Why?"
"One, I'm not in town two, it's your kid."
"Okay. I love you." I smirked.
"I love you too Em."
"Call me later Nay."
"Muah." I kissed the phone in a way it said 'Okay, love you, bye.' I placed the phone on the bed. Leo came in. "I have a surprise." He said looking at me. I stood up and held his hands. We stood there looking at each other and he leaned in a kissed me. My knees buckleted. I fell back on the bed and tried to get up but, when a handsome dude has his lips against yours what you gon' do. I loosened myself and held his hand. "Can I see the surprise now?" I whispered. "I think that is a good idea." He and I walked to the living room. There was a diamond necklace. "Leonardo I don't know why you're being so nice." "I read your boyfriend in Virginia wasn't your favorite cup of tea." I paused and looked at him. "He must've hated me, the amount of times he threw me against a wall, punched a wall that was behind my head, slapped my cousin." I said looking at him. "That's terrible." "Yeah he wasn't exactly a teenage dream." "Then what did you see in each other?" "Sex." I said bluntly. "Damn, so you didn't love him?" "I love vital parts of him. He loved my figure. It was lust for both of us until he fell in love with me and after five years I left him. I couldn't manage living with him." "Sweetheart I don't think you're being serious." "I loved him, he loathed me. It's crazy I was just 20 and partying and I calmed down a bit when I moved back to Detriot cause my friend had a baby and I didn't wanna be a bad friend." "You love this guy don't you?" "Yeah. I've known him almost eleven years and he had a baby and married his girl. So instead of praying for it to end we just gonna watch. I'm not planning on having kids myself because, I was going to wait for him and it wasn't worth it. It still isn't so if anything between me and him were to happen then I would consider it but not now." He smirked. "What about me?" "You got me now." I said taking my hair out its braid. "Wanna go to the beach?" He asked laying his head in my lap. "Yeah." I said stroking my fingers through his hair. I grabbed a swimsuit and slipped it on. He came in my room. I ignored him. He hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek. (Damn you Leonardo)
2 Weeks Later
After two lurious weeks with Leonardo I flew back home. I walked into the house and I heard shouting. "MARSHALL WHO THE FUCK IS SKYLERANNA?!" Kim screamed and I saw her run into a room. "KIM CALM DOWN!" I heard him shout at the top of his lungs. "FUCK YOU!" I dropped my bags and ran into the room. "Kim." I said grabbing her shoulders and pulling her into the next room. "Please." She started crying. "He hates me. He says it everyday he can." "Good lord, Kim he loves you. He could have any girl and he could've left you to take care of Hailie." She looked up at me and nodded. I walked to the front door and picked up my bags and walked upstairs. Hailie had walked in. "ARI!" She shouted running to me. I picked her up and she smiled. "My sister is downstairs, Ma." "What's her name sweetheart?" "Alaina Marie Scott." I walked to the living room and a little girl with dark brown hair and green eyes was crying. "Alaina. I'm Ariadne do you wanna come upstairs with me?" She held my hand nodding. I picked her up balancing a six and three year old on my sides. I laid them on the bed and they fell asleep. I walked out back with my phone, a book, and my R. Kelly CD. I looked at the blue water ,and the green grass, and breathed in the crisp air. My phone rang.
"Hello Darling." I said to Leo with a smile on my face.
"Hey Sweetheart. What's it feel like to be home?" He asked.
"I came home and they were arguing and they adopted his wife's niece while I was out there." I vented.
"What a way to come home." He said chucking.
"Leonardo DiCaprisun stop laughing at me." I said jokingly.
"I believe it's DiCaprio on my birth certificate, Gorgeous ." He said brighting my day up.
"When are you coming to see me?" I asked leaning on the table that was next to me.
"How does tonight sound?" He asked.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"I'll travel the world with you angel."
"Okay, I'ma go clean up around you go ahead and get that flight."
"Okay sweetie. See you soon."
"See ya." I said hanging up.
I ran inside and Marshall was at the table with Kim lookin' stunned. "What just happened?" I asked nervous.

Sideways

"She WAS pregnant but, she miscarried." He mumbled. I held my head and ran upstairs to my room. I picked the napping girls up and took them to their rooms. Demetre and Alicia had moved out and so did Deshaun. So that left just enough rooms for Alaina and Hailie and a guest. I cleaned up my room and took a quick shower letting the water run through my thoughts. I thought back to the day my boyfriend Earnest nearly killed me.
Flashback
I walked into the apartments and was swept off the floor by my neck and thrown into the back of my house. "Leelee!" I screamed seeing her blood on the floor a gash on her head and neck. I was throw outside and he picked me up by the neck and had me floating from the balcony. "EARNEST STOP PLEASE!" I cried and shouted. "YO y'all see that?" I hear some kids yelling. "DUDE STOP!" One of them ran into my room. "We got a pulse still." What were they doctors? I felt his arms wrap around mine and he sat me down leaving.
Present
I turned off the water and put on a blue shirt, blue jeans, and I curled my hair. I had some basketball tickets for tonight and Leo was coming with me. I walked down to the living room. There was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" I asked. "L." I opened the door and looked at Leo. I hugged him. Even if I just got home it was always nice to be by someone you łø- I mean I liked. "You got a nice house." He said smiling. "Thank you." I said holding his hand. I walked him to Marshall and Kim's room. "Marshall." "Yes Nay?" "I want you to meet my boyfriend." Marshall popped up. "Eminem is your friend?" "Leonardo DiCaprio is your boyfriend." They said at the same time (at the same damn time.) "Yes." I said wrapping my arms around Leonardo. Hailie and Alaina walked in. "Hi Mr.DiCaprio." They said shaking his hand. "This is my goddaughter Hailie and Alaina." I said. "Can I see where I'm supposed to sleep for the next month?" I nodded. I walked him into my room. "There are three empty drawers you can unpack in." I said laying in bed. He nodded. "Babe I got something for us." "And what would that be Hun?" He asked laying next to me. "Basketball tickets." I said pulling them out my pocket. He kissed me grabbing one. "Thank you." He said. "You're wel-" "MA! I made a stick fixture." Hailie said. "I like it baby. But, it's called a figure honey." "Ooh." She said crawling in between me and Leo. She laid on my chest. "Ma why can't mommy and daddy get along?" I put my head on hers. "See Hail they can't get along because, they have issues that don't have to do with you sweetheart." Leo looked at me calmly. She simply nodded before crawling out of the bed and running into the next room. I laid my head on his chest. "You wanna get ready?" He nodded and we both stood up at the same time. I did my make-up. He came out in a white and blue shirt. "You ready?" I asked. He nodded. We walked to the car and left for the game.
3 days later
I felt happiness as I read the headline, "Happy New Couple? Leonardo DiCaprio and Ariadne Dashnel." I brought a copy of the magazine and a lady was looking at the same thing. "That Leonardo DiCaprio I'm getting tired of him. Aren't you?" She asked. I nodded and pulled my hat down low. I grabbed some strawberries or as Hailie calls it 'Strawburys.' and I grabbed some gummy bears, and jelly beans paying for the stuff and rushing home. I pulled out the magazine and read the article.
"The couple has been seen around Detroit and Hollywood. A close friend of Leonardo has said 'She's all he talks about. If it's not everyday then it's every other day. It's clear he really likes her.' She was seen just 3 days ago going to a basketball game in the D and the biggest part - Leonardo went with her. 'They are going back and forth to each others houses, I met her and she's just an amazing person. They go with each other and take random videos and pictures. But, I know he's not ready to settle down and niether is she.'" I closed the article and walked into the house. Marshall and Leo were sitting on the couch talking causally. "Hey guys." I said looking at them. They waved before continuing the conversation. I handed Leonardo the magazine and walked into the kitchen. Hailie was coloring at the table and Alaina was doing her homework. Leo walked in smiling at the girls before walking straight to me. "How do you feel?" "Good." I said putting my hands in his and looking him in the eyes. He kissed me and I kissed back only letting go when the girls screamed out 'Ewww." "I'mma go take a nap." He winked. Smitten I followed him. "Marshall, take the girls to the park." I said chasing Leo upstairs. He disappeared down the hall. "Leo, honey." I felt a hand go over my mouth and myself being dragged into my bedroom. I crawled on my bed and Leo kissed me putting the covers over our head.
45 minutes later
I laid on his chest listening to his heart. He played with my hair as I felt on his warm, baby soft skin. I looked at him. His eyes closed and he hummed to the music in the background. I grabbed my robe and slipped it on before sliding out of bed. I held on my Tiffany's necklace and walked downstairs. Marshall and the girls walked in. He saw my face and busted out laughing. "Ooh I know that face." He laughed again. "Shut up." I said putting my hair in a bun. Hailie ran to me and hopped in my arms. "Ariadne." Leonardo's voice traveled. "Hi." "I know that face." Marshall laughed and Leo stood there looking at me with a smirk. "MARSHALL!" They laughed. I ran upstairs and l laid on the floor. "Ms. Dashnel." "If I had I daughter I would name her Chanel!" He laughed. "What if you had a son?" "I would name him Dominick." I said standing up. "Cute." He said kissing me. "Thank you."
2 weeks later
I came home from a job to find Leo packing. "What's goin' on?" "It's time for me to go home." "I don't wanna be here with Marshall by myself." "Then come with me darling." I grabbed all the clothes from my drawer and threw them in a suitcase. "MA!" Hailie screamed. I turned around and looked at her. "Hi baby." I said picking her up. "Where you are going?" "I'm going with Leo for a little but, I'll be back soon baby I promise." "Can I come?" "No,I'm sorry baby. I promise I'll be back real soon." I said. She sat on the floor and started crying. "HAILIE JADE SCOTT!" I shouted picking her up. She tucked her head in her shirt and screamed. I put my hair in a tight bun and tucked her under the covers. "I'ma go call Marshall." I said walking out.
"Marshall." I said annoyed.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Where the hell are you? I have a plane to catch at 8:30. And it's 7:45."
"I'm in New York."
"NEW YORK!" I screamed, "WHAT IN THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?"
"Stop yelling, look can you take her with you?"
"MARSHALL!"
"Ariadne."
"Im going to be in Cali a while."
"It's fine."
"I need to go." I hung up.
"Fuck." I mumbled. "So what are we doin'?" He asked. "Well he's in New York with Kim and I could call Demetre and Alicia-Alaina but, they live a hour away so we gotta take her." He frowned. "You okay? I mean your entire face is red sweetheart." I pulled him out. "I love Hailie I do, but I'm too young to have to take care of his kid." I whispered. "Yeah I know but, I brought the ticket for her and we need to go." He said slipping his coat and Hailie's on. I threw some of Hailie's clothes in my purse and we ran into the car. I grabbed her car seat and somehow the last thing I remember is collapsing in a plane seat.

When I finally woke up Leo had his head on mine, which was on his chest, and Hailie's head was on my lap. "Ms. Dashnel." I looked up at a flight attendent. I stretched. "Yes." "Would you be interested in any drinks before we land in 30 minutes?" "Yes a water for me and my boyfriend and a bottle of milk for my daughter." I said. She nodded walking away. "Leo." I said nudging him. "Yes Sweetheart." He mumbled. "I got us some water so wake up. He looked at me smiling. "Thanks." He said taking the cold water from the attendent. I woke up Hail and she fell back asleep sipping on the warm milk. "She's a cute kid." He said looking at me. "Yeah." I said my head pounding.
Welcome To LAX
I picked up Hailie and Leo and I rushed to baggage claim. Paparazzi chasing us and micphones placed in our faces. "LEONARDO!" "ARIADNE!" "Y'ALL ARE CUTE BUT, WHO'S KID IS THAT?!" I put my hat on Hailie and pulled down on it so they couldn't see her face. Leonardo helped me get the carseat into the back swiftly. I put the suitcases in the trunk and he strapped her in, closed the door, and started the car as we drove swiftly out the airport pick up line.

Cellar Door

Ariadne's POV
I sat in a chair on the balcony looking at the view. "When you comin' to bed?" His soft, weary voice asked yawning in the process. "Ten more minutes I wanna soak in the moon's rays." He snorted. "Come on." He begged and I looked at him with no shirt, only boxers, and a gay ass robe. "I swear if I get pregnant I'm going to fight you." "Why?" "You came out here looking fly as fuck." He smirked. "Thanks baby." He said, poured another glass of wine. "You're going to get a headache." "It's only my second glass." I said accidentally dropping the bottle. "SHIT!" He screamed causing me to jump in fright and he ran up to me throwing me against the balcony railing. "Honey I said I think you already had enough." His eyes nearly black. "Leo," I said backing up straight into a table, "Leonardo," I said putting my hands on his chest, "Baby." I freaked out and ran into the house. I watched as he pulled out a cigarette. "Shit. She wasn't supposed to see that side." He mumbled just loud enough for me to hear, just barely. He put his head in his hands. I walked back out and looked at him. "Leonardo please calm down." I said. "Hear me out." He said and a tear fell out, "I didn't mean to scare you." That nearly made me want to go back to Michgian. "You know I'm not finna get punked out cause I had 1 and a half glasses of wine. How you know I wasn't drinkin' that half for Jesus. Bread and Wine remember that." I said grabbing my papers and pens and ran to the room. I walked to check on Hailie and She was squirming a lot and then screamed herself awake. "DADDY!" She screamed and started crying. I ran over to her and held her in my arms. "Ma is here, Auntie Nay is here." "Where's daddy?" She hiccuped. "New York baby girl. How about I take you out tomorrow and we go to a amusement park." She nodded laying her head in my lap. I grabbed my phone and called Marshall.
"Hello." He said obviously high.
"Hey." I said tucking her in and walking to the room.
"Is everything okay?" He asked.
"She had a nightmare." I said playing with my hands.
"Ari, why do you have to be with him?"
"Who?" I asked stupidly.
"You know who. Why can't you be with me?"
"Because you and me can't be two."
"Oh but, that bitch can?" He spat.
"MARSHALL SHUT THE FUCK UP!" My voice growing hoarse.
"Why should I? I see how it is. I'm the lying, cheating, bastard ex-boyfriend but, as soon-"
"Marshall, please."
"If you hated me so much what were you doing carrying my kid?" I tried to breathe but I couldn't so I hung up.
1 year later
"Leonardo." I said walking in the house. Since last year Kim had been staying over more often while Marshall was out. Marshall and I really haven't spoken since that day but, every night I cried about it. "Kim." I heard a noise and I swore to god if Marshall was here. I walked into the kitchen. Nothing there. So I traveled to the guest room. Kim wasn't in there and niether was Hailie. So then I remembered that Kim was supposed to be at home with Hailie because, Marshall was there. So I traveled over to my room. I looked through the keyhole and saw him and her. I walked in so calmly grabbing my stuff. They didn't notice me for at least five minutes. "Aw shit." Kim mumbled. I hadn't realized that I had buttdailed Marshall until I heard his screaming.
"Marshall." I said coolly.
"WHAT!"
"Please calm down. I understand you're upset but, this two dollar ho ain't worth the time. Let alone get arrested yet again for." I said loud and clear.
"I'm getting you a plane ticket. I want you home and we need to talk."
"Yeah don't worry bout my ticket I'm actually supposed to come back today."
Home
I couldn't even make it through the front door before being collapsed in hugs by my favorite two little girls. Yes two. "Auntie Nay!" Aliana said crying. It had been six months since I saw her and two weeks since I saw Hailie. "Hi Lovebug." I said encasing her with love. I ran through the house looking at Marshall. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! WE COULD'VE BEEN TOGETHER AND YOU DECIDED TO-" Marshall yelled at me. "Bitch. No bitch. Every since we met it's about what I'm doing wrong...... But, I'm not the one with the problem here." I said pulling my jacket off. "He's known for not wanting to settle down." He continued. I chuckled, "Yeah I noticed." We walked into His and Kim's room and packed up all her stuff in trash bags and left it on the porch. We went out and got new locks and a gate that all we had to do was unlock it with a pass code. He gave me and himself a new key before going to change the locks. I couldn't help but have feelings of Love inside but, my problem was who it was for.
Marshall Mathers.

So Bad

July 4,2001
I couldn't believe how stupid I had been. I can't love him he's married. Okay hardly called a marriage with these dumbasses. You can call it a broken marriage/friendship. I sat on the couch legs crossed and a blank look on my face. "We don't need them little soldier." I looked at him and smiled. Everyday since I got home I had been mute. "No words, no voice." He said. "I'd hate it." I took a deep breath and looked at him. "It's not too bad I mean I observe more anyways." His eyes widened and his lips curled. "Dawg!" He said dragging me into his arms. "Hi." I said looking at him. He bent his head down and kissed me so lightly. My heart beat was out of control and I couldn't speak. Boy this boy could kiss but, then after he did he always said sorry and it got on my nerves. Why did I have to love the shy one. I looked in his icy blue eyes and smirked. "It's okay." I said laying on his lap. "I messed up." He said his hands shaking. I placed mine in his. "She messed up Baby Boy." He looked at me. "I wanted a son. Ya know. I couldn't believe you miscarried. I wish I could have helped you." "We wouldn't be talking." I admitted. "Why?" "You'd most likely think she's a ho, it ain't mine, the only kid that's mine is Hailie and this that and the other so I would've said fuck you and you wouldn't see your son or daughter or me for that matter." I said truthfully. He just looked at me. "What?" I asked. He grabbed me and walked me to the room. "Marshall I-" "Not married." He mumbled kissing my neck. "But I-" "Not married." "What about the-" "Sleeping peacefully in their rooms not bothering daddy." He said pulling off my shirt. I started to breathe faster and he smiled. "Baby." He mumbled. "Marshall." I said clinging on to him. We went at it for half an hour before collapsing next to each other covered in sweat. He looked at me smiling. "Hey." He said wrapping his warm arms around me before falling asleep. I pushed myself out his grip and straight onto the floor. After silently yelping I grabbed my clothes and car keys. Now in the quickest steps I was in my car pulling my jeans up and my shirt down. Aye you think I'm staying here tonight? Ha you're funny. First, I'd hate to sleepover and have his girls wake up and hate me cause Aunt Nay is a ho. I walked into my house and collapsed on the couch. The last thing I remembered was seeing a picture of me and him as teens.
Morning
I woke up to someone banging at my door. I slipped off the clothes from last night quickly and slid into my pink silk robe. I ran to the door, fluffing my hair. I looked through the peep hole and it was Marshall. I pulled the door open and pushed my hair to the side. "Hey baby boy." I said stroking his face. "Why'd you go." He asked. I only smiled at him. "You wanna come in, I'm making waffles." I said in a sing-songy voice. He looked back. "SHIT!" He said pushing me lightly inside the house and stepping in himself. He closed the door. "Aye I'm sorry bout that." He said picking me up off the floor. "No baby it's okay." I said walking to the kitchen. He put his head on my shoulder. "I want you." He whispered. "No, you don't." I said turning to look at him. "Please Ariadne hear me out, I love you I REALLY do." "YOU DO?" I said laughing. "Are you being serious?" "YES WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO PROVE IT!?" He asked. "Tell it to the world, be here for me. I lost you for almost five years I'm not doing it again." I said. "Will you be my girlfriend Nay?" He asked kissing me slowly but, softly. "Okay." I said hugging him.

Wicked Games

For about four years it was good. We loved each other cared for each other but, when your first love gets out of jail and comes to live with you, you are prepared for the worse. And for me that's what happened. After three years of taking care of her girls, after caring for him, I left unable to take what I was given.
---------------------------------------------------------
I walked into the house and they were talking. I eavesdropped from behind a wall. "Kim I love you. You know I love you so what do I have to do to prove it?" "You need to break it off with Ariadne." "When?" "As soon as she walks through the door." I heard a movement so I ran quietly upstairs to get a head start on the packing I would have to do. I felt tears fall and I stopped for a brief second to catch my breath. She tore us apart last time and I can't believe he fell for it yet again. I slid on the floor and laid there tears streaming. I hated him but, I was in love with him. I heard the door open and there he was. "When did you get home?" He asked grabbing me off the floor. "Let me go!" I screamed letting my brain function. "What?" "Your up here to dump me mothafucka and that is why I'm glad cause I hate you. You were just a boy who made me laugh at a party once. And if you touch me I'll scream!" He placed a hand on me and I screamed making him turn around in order to protect his eardrums. "FUCK YOU!" He screamed and I ran to a separate room. "FUCK YOU." "What you gon hit me now?" He looked at me with bitter hate. "Don't worry, I can't be bothered! You're not worth the trouble it would take to hit you! You're not worth the powder it would take to blow you up." "What am I worth then. Since your dumbass wants to waste three years of MY life what exactly am I worth!" He looked down. "Exactly I'm worth everything to you but, if she comes around I'm nothing." "That's no-" "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I screamed pushing him. "So it takes me losing a fuckin' kid and you wipe you brows like shit that was close. Yes you're right but, I did wanna let you know I had surprise." "What?" I reached in my bag and pulled out papers from the doctor and handed them to him. "Are you serious?" "Very. I'm 4 months and you wanna sit there and play house with your ex-wife. With emphasis on ex, the root wood of ex is former. So past so if it didn't work then what makes you think it's going to work now?" I asked. He stayed quiet. "Your pregnant." He said to himself. "NO. FUCKIN'. SHIT! I never knew if I had sex and you don't pull out I can get pregnant." I can't believe I was surrounding myself with his shit. I grabbed the rest of my stuff and walked out. "Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked just as I was about to pull out. I looked at him and noticed the wrinkles of worry. "It's a boy Marshall and I'm so sorry you won't be able to be around him with her around." "SO YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE MY SON AWAY FROM ME!?" "HE WILL NOT BE AROUND HER!" "HOW ELSE CAN I SEE HIM?!" "YOU CAN COME SEE US!" He looked down. "Are you finna cry?" I asked. "Naw." He mumbled. I pulled his head up. "Don't do this to me." "I'm so stupid." "It's over." I said my accent coming out. "I'm sorry." "Marshall stop." I said. I pulled out the driveway and drove down to my friend Christina Aguilera's.
Christina's House
"My mom said, and I quote
'Hickory dickory I'ma kickyourassickory you butt munches get your fingers out your ass." She said within a few minutes of me arriving at her house. "So why are you here?" She asked softly. "I dumped him after hearing that I was going to be dumped so he could be with Kim." "But, your pregnant." "I could be a single mom." She shook her head. "He really fucked up didn't he?" "He sure did. He can be around my son but, she can't." "Are you sure you just didn't overreact?" I shot her a glare. "Okay. Okay." She said, "What's the date?" "November 29,2004. He said I was going to be five months tomorrow and I'm so lost." I said tears falling out.

Adrian Ethan Mathers/ So Simple

Ariadne's POV
April 3, 2005
I laid down in my new apartment, smiling at the thought of any day my son would be in my arms. I hadn't talked to Marshall since we broke up and I was happier that way. I had decorated his nursery and had picked up the baby books. Marshall couldn't experience what I had with our son and that was fine. Christina and Jessica (Simpson) had came over everyday and made sure I was okay. I put my hand on my belly and felt him kick so hard I had to stand up so I wouldn't get any 'water' on my bed. I felt a sharp pain and grabbed my bag in a rush to get to the hospital. In the car I called Marshall. No answer. "FUCK!" I screamed trying again.
"Hello."
"Marshall, listen my water broke and I'm on my way to St. Claire so can you-"
"I'll be right there."
I hung up and in a rush to get to the Hosptial I skipped all stop signs. I felt his kicking and he was like 'If y'all mothafuckas don't let me out this womb in 20 minutes I'mma blow some shit up.'
So in the room everyone was crowded around me and Marshall finally showed up. My hair was soaked with sweat and my face red. "Marshall." I said holding his hand. "Yes baby." "What should we name him." "Adrian Ethan Mathers." I nodded taking the last push. "Congrats it's a beautiful baby boy." The doctor said handing him to me. "Oh my gosh you're so cute." I said as they got the fluids out his throat. He reached out for me. "Can I hold him?" "He's your son." I said smiling. Marshall picked him up smiling. "Hey little man." He said kissing his cheek. Marshall's phone rang and he looked at it smiling.
"Hey Hailie."
"Daddy, what did you name him?"
"We named him Adrian Ethan Mathers."
"I like it, can I talk to Ariadne?"
Marshall handed me the phone an smiled.
"Hello?"
"Congrations." She said dully.
I looked at Marshall.
"Hailie."
"Ariadne are you trying to break our family apart." She asked.
I handed him the phone and took Adrian. "Sign the birth certificate and go." I said wrapping him in his baby blanket.
"Hailie hang on." He said
"What happened." He asked. "Your fuckin' daughter happened," I said tears falling,"And it's not her fault." I said rubbing Adrian's skin. "I'm sorry just please let me be here for our son." He said stuffing his face in my shoulder. "Okay." I said kissing his cheek

Get It Over With

Ariadne's POV
3 months later
I was sitting in bed with Adrian and was trying to calm myself down. "Where is Daddy?" I asked him kissing his cheek. He smiled and leaned deep into the bed. Marshall wasn't picking up his phone and he hadn't seen Adrian in the past two months. I got checks in the mail every weekend. But, no Marshall. Still. So I tried calling for the ninth time.
"Hello."
"Marshall where have you been?"
"I've sent checks."
"REALLY. CHECKS ARE GOING TO LET YOU HAVE TIME WITH YOUR SON? Marshall please tell me you don't think that."
"I don't it's jus-"
"IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR THREE LITTLE GIRLS THEN YOU HAVE TIME FOR MY SON!" I screamed just as Christina and Jessica walked in. They watched him for me as I walked outside.
"That's no-"
"Get here in 20 minutes I'm not playing."
"Okay."
20 minutes later
I sat on the couch rocking him back and forth as the girls cooked dinner in the kitchen. He wouldn't stop crying. "Oh come on." Finally there was a knock on the door. I put my hair in a ponytail and put him in his bassinet. I walked to the door and opened it. "Hey." He said. "Hi." I said moving to the side. "How you doin'?" He asked looking me in my eyes. "I'm good." I said smiling. I picked Adrian up and handed him to Marshall. Almost as soon as he saw him he stopped crying. "Hey." He said holding him in his arms. "I'm sorry." He said to him kissing him on the nose. I walked to my room and slid under the covers crying. I heard the door creek open. "Ariadne." Marshall's voice carried through. "Yes." I asked. "Can I take him with me,So the girls can see him? I have everything set up." I looked at him. "Are you all right?" He asked sitting next to me. I shook my head and leaned against him. "What's up gorgeous." "I miss us Marshall. I'm a nervous wreck I can barely take care of our son without the stuggle." He grabbed some tissues and handed them to me. He snuggled with me under the covers. "I miss you too. I love you still but, Kim we're in love with each other." my heart broke and my tears stopped. I crawled from him and went to pack a overnight bag. I grabbed Adrian and kissed his soft skin. I looked at Marshall. "Bring him back tomorrow." I said. "I love you baby boy." I said kissing Adrian's forehead before putting him in the car seat. "Be careful with him." I said smiling. "I will." Marshall said walking out side.

Back To Basics

Marshall's POV
There I was with Adrian in my arms. I probably could've stayed longer had I lied to her but, I don't love her anymore. I love this kid tho. I thought like this the whole ride home. I walked inside the house and was ambushed with hugs. "HI DADDY!" the girls screamed waking up Adrian. He looked around and realized he wasn't with his mother, he started screaming and crying. I picked him up and walked around the house with him until he calmed down. This wasn't going to be easy.
Ariadne's POV
"Girl what happened." "He loves me but, he's in love with Kim." "I don't get it tho. Like I think he doesn't love you anymore just the thought." I nodded standing up. "I'm ready for the clubs." "Ain't you-" "I'm not going to make my baby drunk so no, no drinks tonight." We laughed getting ready. Aye for having a baby three months ago I looked good. I was about to leave when my phone rang. I kept walking but, answered as I got in the car.
"Hello." I said looking at Christina and Jessica
"He won't stop crying." Marshall's concerned voice said.
"What do you want me to do?" I asked telling Christina to stop by Marshall's.
"Can you stop by?" He asked.
"Okay." I said.
Marshall's House
"Okay I'll be right back in about ten minutes." "Okay." They said turning back to their conversation. I pulled open the door. "Marshall." I said hearing Adrian's cries. I followed the sound. "Hey Nay." He said his eyes popping out. I picked up Adrian and rocked him gently. He stopped crying and fell asleep. "I love you stankbutt." I said kissing his cheek and putting his teddy bear next to him. I put him in the crib and looked at Marshall. "I have to go now the girls are waitting for me." I said smiling. "Okay. Thank you by the way." He said locking eyes with me. "Welcome, goodnight Mr.Mathers." I said walking outside. As I hopped in the car I looked at the girls. "TIME TO PARTY!" We screamed extending the Y's.
Next morning
I woke up next to Jessica and Christina. I poked them. "AYE!" I yelled. "Shut up." They both said hungover. "I'm going to get my son." I said changing into some sweats and brushing my teeth. I walked to my car and as I thought about it I got nervous. "What if something happened to my kid." I said to myself driving to Marshall's. I walked in using my old key. "Hey." I said looking at Aliana. "Ma." She said running to me. "Hey baby girl." I said hugging her. "Dad's locked in his room and won't let me in." "And your brother?" I asked. "Sleeping with Hailie in the den." She said. "Can you get his stuff ready?" I asked. "Yep." She said running into a room. I walked upstairs. "Marshall." I said knocking on the door. The door clicked and I walked in. "Hey." I said looking at the empty pill bottle. "Marshall." I said my smile gone. I walked to him and hugged him. "Was it a long night?" He nodded. "Where is Deshaun?" I asked. "I don't know. He was here yesterday tho." He said laying on the bed. I laid against him listening to him talk to me and I thought about the party. The party back in the 90's that tore us apart.
Flashback
April 1,1995
I was sitting on the couch and silently cussing Marshall for bringing me here. "Hey you came here with someone right?" "Yeah I did why?" "He's in the back with his ex." I looked at my shoes and back into the dude's eyes. "Where?" I asked rubbing my elbow. He grabbed my hand and escorted me to the back room to the left. I walked right in and wished I hadn't. "MARSHALL!" I screamed punching a hole through the wall. "Ariadne." He said and didn't even have time to pull out. "So, I'm going to go now okay. Don't come home. Please don't." I said walking out. Since he was the one with the car, I had to walk home. The cold, misty rain poured down on me like tears. When I got home I poured a glass of water and looked right through it. My mind was set and I was leaving Michigan.
Present
I shot up and walked around his room. I looked at the window. "I came to get our son." I said wiping my eyes. "What?" He said. "I'm taking him home, and where is Kim?" "She's out." He said irritated. "Bye Marshall." I said halfway out the room. "Wait!" He screamed. "What do you want?" I said bluntly. "I thought about some stuff and-" "Don't give me the pleasure. Look maybe if you weren't with her I might listen." I said walking downstairs. Hailie was looking at me. "Goodmorning." "Are you trying to-" "I said Goodmorning. Don't forget I raised you for three years before your mother hobbled back. I love your father but, I have a baby I have to love even more." I said putting her in check. I picked up the carseat and baby bag. "Thank you Aliana. Give Whitney a kiss for me. Bye girls." I said grabbing my keys.

Rock Bottom

Home
I walked in with Adrian. "Hey boo." "Hey." I said looking at them. "Ariadne, I was thinking- we were thinking we should all move into a house together." Christina said. "Just You, Jessica, Me, and Adrian?" "Yeah." Jessica said. "Okay." I said picking Adrian up. "Jessi can you make him a bottle of milk please?" I asked placing him on my shoulder. She ran into the kitchen.
December 5,2005
I turned on Mojo in the Morning as Adrian walked around. I paced around the room. I listened as Marshall went on. Within a couple of minutes I heard how much he loves his girls and Kim, and their plans to remarry, but no talk about our son. "MA!" Adrian yelled. "Yes baby." I said heartbroken. "Juice." He said sitting on the floor. I handed him the bottle. When Marshall got off the phone I called him.
"Hello." He said.
"Can you come over?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said hanging up.
I walked to the back room with Adrian. I put on my pink shirt and blue jeans with my pink heels. I got Adrian dressed in a blue shirt, blue sweats, and blue Jordan's. Within a few minutes there was a knock at the door. I gasped looking at Adrian, "Who's at the door? Is it Daddy?" I asked smiling. He looked at me and grabbed my hands walking to the door. I opened the door. "Look it's daddy!" I yelled kissing him on his cheek. "Hi." Marshall said. "Come in." I said moving out his way. I grabbed Adrian and walked him into Christina's room. I walked back and leaned against the wall. "You must really love fucking with my emotions." I said blunt. "What do you mean?" He asked. "THIS MORNING! OH I LOVE MY DAUGHTERS AND KIM! WERE YOU SAYING THAT LAST NIGHT WHEN YOU WERE IN BETWEEN MY LEGS!" "YO!" He screamed jumping up. "SIT YO ASS DOWN I'M NOT FINISHED! NOW YOU KEEP MESSING UP BUT, trust me it will be the last time." I screamed. "I came here to spend time with my son." He said. "THE SAME SON YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO MENTION THIS MORNING!" I screamed hearing a door open. "Y'all okay out here?" Jessica asked. "Yes Jessica." I said dismissing her. "I love my son." He said getting louder. "I know you do. But, I told you SHE WON'T BE AROUND MY FUCKING KID!" "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK SHE'S MY FIANCEE!" "WHY ARE YOU MARRYING HER?" I asked. "TO HURT YOU LIKE YOU HURT ME!" I bent over to prevent myself from puking. "Wait I didn't mean it." "Yes you did and it's okay." I said walking to my room. I collapsed on the bed in tears. "I'm sorry." He said. "I'm worth nothing to you. Our son- shit Marshall I thought you wanted a son." I said laying on my side. "I did, just not like this." "Separated?" "I wanted to be with you." "And she got out and you want her." He stayed silent. "I let you have him whenever you want, I didn't cuss you out when I found out you brought him around her. What else can I give that I haven't received? I'm waiting on you Marshall when are you going to see that this isn't going to work?" I asked tears falling like raindrops. "I don't know, and I'm so sorry." He said rubbing my back. "I love you Marshall." I said. "I love you Ariadne." He said kissing me on my lips. "Can I have him?" "Can you stay tonight?" I asked. He kissed me again. "Yeah. I'll tell her I gotta go to Dre's." He said holding my hands.

Never No More

I walked with Marshall to his car. "So you're coming right back right?" I asked. "Yes." I looked at him, then suddenly I heard a click of a camera and got in the car. "This is one of three things." I said leaning on his shoulder. "Yeah and what is that?" He asked looking me directly in my eyes. "Paparazzi, Cheaters crew, or a private investigator." I said looking down the road. "I don't give a fuck." He said pulling me into a hug. Another click. ."It's a private investigator." "Let's give her something to worry about." He said blessing my lips with his. "I love them lips." I said giving him a peck on the cheek. "When you get back meet me in the backyard, I got some Christmas lights to put up." He nodded kissing my check. I got out smiling and waved at him. "I love you." Marshall said. "I love you too." I said walking to the porch. He smiled at me driving off. I walked to get Adrian from Christina when she stopped me. "Why the f-" "Please don't cuss around my son." I said grabbing him and walking him to his room and then walking back. "Why is he coming back?" "To stay the night with his son." She looked at me sideways. "Look I don't need the fucking glare, or the pity." I said, "Y'all have your boyfriends over all the time. Why can't I have my baby daddy over?" "BECAUSE IT'S HIM!" I walked out the room and back to Adrian who was sitting calmly on the floor. I picked him up and held him on my chest and he sucked his thumb. I heard a knock on the door as I laid in bed with Adrian. "Stay here baby." I said calmly. I ran to the back door and opened it. "Hey beautiful." He said hugging me. "Hey Handsome." I said looking at him. He had on a puffy white coat, a white pair of tennis shoes, and some sweats on, I had changed into a black leather sweater, a black pair of Jordan's, and some blue jeans. We walked into my room and Adrian had fell asleep. I gently tapped him on his shoulder and his eyes popped open. I smiled at him and put him in a snowsuit. Marshall picked him up and put him in his swing. I grabbed the lights and handed some to him. "So Nay I was thinking for Christmas we all should get together. I know since you and Deshaun's fall out y'all don't talk but-" "I miss him." I said looking at the lights. "You should call him soon." "I will." We climbed down the ladder and looked at the lights. "It's beautiful." I said leaning against him. We looked at each other briefly. I picked up Adrian and took him inside with us. I placed him on the couch and Marshall picked me up and kissed me. "Not now, not here." I said laying on the couch. Adrian crawled to me and laid on my shoulder. "You are the one I'm out to marry." My smile dropped. "If that was true you and me wouldn't be doing this. We wouldn't be in this fucking house. " I said putting my hands around him. My head on his shoulder. I looked at him and then closed my eyes.
Marshall's POV
I felt the warmth of her skin against mine. Christina came creeping out her room and looked at me. "What?" I asked looking at Adrian shift in her lap. "Why do you keep trying to get with her? Go home." "I'm here for my son." I said stroking my fingers through her hair. "Marshall, how you gon teach your son to be a man when you're not even one." I moved quickly and stood up. I grabbed her and walked her to the other side of the house. "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALWAYS JUDGE ME? YOU HADN'T MET ME UNTIL THE MTV AWARDS AND YOU TRASHED MY MUSIC!" "So what." She said. I heard a door creek open. It was Nay. "Look I don't give a fuck Christina I told you don't start nothing you can't finish, I need y'all to be on hush mode cause if that baby wakes up, I will personally choke the live out of both of you, am I understood?" She said sternly. "Yes. Sorry about waking you." We said separating ourselves. I walked into her room and laid on the bed. I heard Adrian crying in other room. I walked into the living room and he was on the couch crying. "I'm making him milk so can you check is diaper and take him in my room?" She asked from the kitchen. "Yeah." He seemed to be getting louder. I picked him up and he screamed before squirming around in my arms. I held him against my chest walking to her room. He screamed and I checked his diaper and it was good so I laid him down in bed and he calmed down a little but, not by much. She ran in and passed me the bottle so I fed him the formula. He wouldn't stop crying so I did what I had to."And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back..." I sung to him.
He stopped crying, his eyes lowered and he blinked slowly before falling asleep. She came in a pair of pajamas in hand and a gallon of water. She grabbed him from me and laid him on the bed. She took off the snow suit and gently put him in the shirt and pants. She laid him in the bassinet and smiled. She slid into bed with me. We took off the jackets and laid under the covers. "I missed you a lot." She said smiling. "I missed you too." I admitted falling asleep with her warmth.

Understand

I walked with Marshall to his car. "So you're coming right back right?" I asked. "Yes." I looked at him, then suddenly I heard a click of a camera and got in the car. "This is one of three things."

Go home." "I'm here for my son." I said stroking my fingers through her hair. "Marshall, how you gon teach your son to be a man when you're not even one." I moved quickly and stood up. I grabbed her and walked her to the other side of the house. "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALWAYS JUDGE ME? YOU HADN'T MET ME UNTIL THE MTV AWARDS AND YOU TRASHED MY MUSIC!" "So what." She said. I heard a door creek open. It was Nay. "Look I don't give a fuck Christina I told you don't start nothing you can't finish, I need y'all to be on hush mode cause if that baby wakes up, I will personally choke the live out of both of you, am I understood?" She said sternly. "Yes. Sorry about waking you." We said separating ourselves. I walked into her room and laid on the bed. I heard Adrian crying in other room. I walked into the living room and he was on the couch crying. "I'm making him milk so can you check is diaper and take him in my room?" She asked from the kitchen. "Yeah." He seemed to be getting louder. I picked him up and he screamed before squirming around in my arms. I held him against my chest walking to her room. He screamed and I checked his diaper and it was good so I laid him down in bed and he calmed down a little but, not by much. She ran in and passed me the bottle so I fed him the formula. He wouldn't stop crying so I did what I had to."And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back..." I sung to him.
He stopped crying, his eyes lowered and he blinked slowly before falling asleep. She came in a pair of pajamas in hand and a gallon of water. She grabbed him from me and laid him on the bed. She took off the snow suit and gently put him in the shirt and pants. She laid him in the bassinet and smiled. She slid into bed with me. We took off the jackets and laid under the covers. "I missed you a lot." She said smiling. "I missed you too." I admitted falling asleep with her warmth.

On Our Way

January 15,2006
I woke up and Adrian was crawling on my stomach. I looked up at window and started crying. My phone started ringing.
"Hey." Marshall said.
"Morning." I said.
"What's wrong?" He said.
"I don't want you to marry her." I said tears pouring out.
"I know." He said.
"I'll be there." I said hanging up.
I grabbed Adrian and got him in his suit. "Hi baby!" I said. "Mama." He hopped on the bed. I got in my lavender dress. I picked up Adrian. I put him lightly in the car seat handing him his bottle.
Chruch
I brought Adrian to Marshall's Dressing Room. Deshaun was sitting quietly on the floor. "Hey Dee, where is he?" He pointed to the closet. I handed him Adrian and walked to the closet door. "Marshall." I said, he unlocked the door. "He-" He cut me off dragging me in locking the door. "What are you doing?" "Please I need this." He said. "Marshall." He pulled up my dress. "You said it was mine." He said leaning me against the wall. "I'm sorry." I said pushing him. "Thanks a lot." He said I rolled my eyes and we walked out. "What the fuck were y'all doin'?" Deshaun asked. "I needed some." I gave him the evil eye. "Really the day of your wedding." "I don't love her no more." "So why are you not marrying her?" Deshaun asked. I looked at Marshall and a sudden breeze of anger hit me. "He's playing me!" I screamed. "Woah." Marshall said. "You've been playing me and now that I think about it, IT'S NOT MY WEDDING SO BYE MARSHALL!" I got Adrian pulled together. I dashed down the hall like the Dashnel I am and I was grabbed from behind. I screamed shocked by the sudden force. "Its just me." Deshaun said. I turned around and looked at him. "This little marriage ain't gon work." I looked at Adrian. "Little Man can attend, tell Marshall I'm fine I'ma go to his house and get the after party set up." I smiled at Deshaun. "Okay." He said picking up Adrian. "I love you baby." I said kissing Adrian's cheek. I walked out and was hit with flashes. "Hey Ariadne!" A reporter said. "Hi." I said walking to my car. I drove to the house and walked in. I was tempted to go upstairs and so I did. I walked to the closet and pulled down a box. I looked at a picture he took of me three years ago, he kept all my letters, all the cards, he kept a copy of our scrapbook. He kept everything. I neatly put everything back and walked to the back and started cooking the food for everybody. I set up the tables and when I was done everyone walked in.

Trapped (R.I.P Deshaun 'Proof' Holton)

April 3,2006
I looked at Adrian. "Happy Birthday Baby Boy!" I said kissing his stomach. "Mama!" He said jumping in my arms. Marshall had left Kim and tomorrow he was filing for divorce. The whole day I spent my time with Adrian, no Marshall. "Where dada?" He asked leaning back, a pout on his face. "I don't know." I said hugging him. It was eleven at night by the time Marshall had actually made his way over. "You know what Marshall, this is the last straw." "What?" I looked at him. "YOU MISSED HIS FUCKING BIRTHDAY!" I screamed pushing him. "I know and I'm sorry." I put my hand in my face and wept. When I looked at him I noticed something. "MARSHALL!" I screamed looking him in his face. "You're high." I said pushing him onto the couch. "Can you just stay over here tonight?" I asked placing a blanket on him. "Okay." He said closing his eyes. Adrian toddled over to him. "Dada." He said poking Marshall in the forehead. "Hey." Marshall said moving over a little so Adrian could lay with him.
April 10,2006
11:30pm
Deshaun and Me were going out to a after hours club tonight. I spread my hair out. "Deshaun I'm ready." I said picking up Adrian. I turned on my video camera. "Say Hi Uncle Proof." Adrian looked at me and waved. "Hi Poof." He said walking to Proof. "Wuv you." He said hugging his legs. Deshaun picked him up. "I love you too little man." He said kissing his forehead. "Do you wanna lay him down?" I asked him. He nodded.
Club 4:25am April 11,2006
I looked at Deshaun. "This is stupid I mean over a game of pool?" "I love you,Sharonda,Em, Adrian, my kids. I'm sorry." He said kissing my cheek and hugging me. I looked at the clock. 4:29 in the morning. Proof went to finish the fight when the dude pulled a gun on him and so Deshaun shot him in the face. 4:30am the bouncer looked directly at Proof and took the gun off safety. I stood up and hugged Deshaun and kissed him tears strolled down my cheeks I dropped to the floor. The bouncer pulled the trigger three times. I noticed people flooding out. I looked at Proof with blood on his hat, on his face, and on his shirt. I looked at the bouncer. "WHY!?" I screamed. "I'm sorry." He said. I hugged Deshaun's lifeless body. "Deshaun stop playin'! Oh my god please wake up. DESHAUN PLEASE!" I screamed looking at my solider, we had been friends so long. I heard cops and after answering some questions I went home at 6:59am. I walked in my room where Marshall was sleeping. I shook him awake. "Huh." He said weary. "Deshaun is dead." I said busting out in tears. He looked at me and walked into the bathroom. Within a couple of minutes I got nervous. I walked in the bathroom and he was in the shower. I kicked off my clothes and walked in with him. "Baby." I said holding him up under the freezing water. "God." He said crying. I held him tighter. We got out the shower and I slipped on a robe and he slipped on some sweats.
Marshall's POV
After making it to the hospital I was freaking out. "Goodmorning can I help you?" A pretty blonde woman said. "I'm looking for........ Deshaun Holton." I said choking up. "He's in Room 411D, I'm sorry for your loss Mr.Mathers." She said looking down. I walked up to the room and looked at him, lifeless. I turned around in tears and threw up in a trash can. I walked over to Sharonda and his kids. "I'm so sorry." I said hugging them. She held onto my clothes. She was mumbling his name and I looked at him and I had to leave. "Bye Doody." I said wiping my tears and walking out. I walked out the hospital and walked over to his mother. She was on the ground and crying. "Ms. Holton." I said softly. She looked up and hugged me. "My baby boy." She said hugging me. "I'm so sorry." I said balancing her. "Thank you Marshall." I looked at the ground and walked to my car. I started screaming and crying, and choking on air. I drove back to the house. When I walked in she was screaming and crying into a pillow on the floor. I picked her up even though I was as weak as she was. "I'm sorry Marshall. I should've stopped him." She said tears falling. She curved her back and rolled out my arms on the floor. I grabbed her and walked her to the room. "Where's Adrian?" I asked crying. "He's with Briadne and Lisa." She said choking on tears. I held her close to me and tried to calm down. "I love you." I said listening to her heart. I felt dead inside and she did too I just knew it. She had seen our best friend in the world, killed, pushed off the edge of earth. She was mumbling and mumbling and finally I heard what she was saying. "I'm gonna kill myself." She mumbled. "Please don't." I said kissing her forehead. "Please." I felt tears roll down. She nodded and went under the blankets. The warmth of her skin is all that would remove his body out my head. She must've fell asleep because she popped from the covers straight into the bathroom. She started screaming. "Baby calm down." She screamed louder. "Baby." I said putting my hands on her. She looked at me, screaming stopped, and cheeks soaked in tears. I took her into a hug. "I love you." I said my cheeks soaked. "I..... Love...... You.. Too." She said pausing because she took in too much air. I listened to her slow breathing and l held on to her. We cried on each other knowing the pain would be there when we wake up. I held her hand, which she would occasionally pull away to wipe away forming tears. She was looking at the floor and she would close her eyes and they would pop back open. I held her against my chest. I could tell we were exhausted no matter how many sleeping pills, no matter how many hugs and kisses we gave, the pain stayed with us with no mercy at all. She was asleep in the other room so, I turned on her camera. I looked at my son talking to Proof and hugging his legs. I can't believe he was gone. I was just talking to him last night. I called his phone to hear his voice again.
"Aye Wassup, dis is Deshaun mafuckin' Holton aka Proof. Leave yo number and yo dumb ass name and I will do my worst to get back to ya. Peace." I laughed. I looked up and Ariadne was looking at me. "Hi." I said softly. "Hey." She said walking over to me and she just started crying.

Nobody Business

April 19,2006
Ariadne's POV
So today we have to say our goodbyes to Proof and I'm not ready. I got Adrian ready and he wouldn't stop crying. "I know baby." He screamed. I held him close to my chest. He swung his arms and screamed. "Marshall." I said. He walked in his suit and picked him up. I put his binki in his mouth and grabbed my bag. Marshall drove us there and we walked in. Hailie, Aliana, Whitney, and Kim were standing together. I walked over to them. The three beautiful girls stood looking at me. Aliana walked me first, then Whit, then Hailie. I shook in their arms. We all took our seats and Marshall and I sat in the second row behind Deshaun's family. I promised his family I would speak first. They called my name and I walked up there with Adrian in my arms. "Goodmorning," I said my tears rolling straight down my face, "I remember when I was 14 and He looked at me and said 'Whenever you need me.... I'll be there.' I being so young didn't realize that He was quoting a Michael Jackson song." They exploded in laugher. "I thought he meant it- excuse me I knew he meant it because he was that type of person, a protector and he did protect me even in his last seconds. I remember I couldn't go to the hospital that day because, I was scarred, a punk, I realize that me being a coward is what leaves me standing here. At this moment I know he's watching me from up above, and my son." I handed Adrian the rose and he put it in the casket. People erupted into tears. I called the next name on the list which was Marshall and I stayed up there with him. He started sniffing then, talking,
"I can't, I can't feel my um, my friend leave without me sayin my peace and um
I know its been really, really trying on everybody you know,
Our group, Our friends, Our loved ones, everybody,
I'm suppose to give you an idea that,of the the kind of, Proof, Deshaun that i knew,
that when I was 16 years old, He took a pair of shoes
And He threw em at my feet and He said 'Put those on
and I said 'Put em on for what?'
And He said 'Cause I'm tired of you wearing them dirty ass shoes!'" They laughed. "I apologize for cursing in Chruch." He grabbed his flower and placed it next to Proof. He pulled a ring out is pocket and placed it on his finger. "Nathan, found it. I'm sorry my mom stole it but, he found it." He said softly. Marshall turned his head so his tears wouldn't get on his suit. I walked to him, hugging him. I was hyperventalating. We sat down together and I closed my eyes tight and cried. Marshall rubbed my back and held Adrian who was sleeping soundly. When it was over I stood up and grabbed Adrian and was going to leave when Marshall grabbed me. He walked me to my car and we drove to the burial site with Police escort. But in the car he asked me something I didnt think I would hear. "You know I love you, and how much I need you right now, and I was thinking can you move back in with me?" He asked checking that the little man was okay. "Of course. I miss the girls a lot." I said leaning my seat back. I closed my eyes and turned on my iPod. I picked These Drugs by D12 and listened to it. I wished Proof could be driving right now and we could still be going out to party. I looked at Adrian who's head was turned slightly so he could sleep in comfort.
July 7, 2006
Christina and Jessica looked at me. "So you're really doin' this?" They asked. "Christy, Jessi look Marshall and me thought on it and we figured 'Hey we need each other' co-parenting is hard on two people who are deeply in love with each other. I do the most ridiculous things for him and he does the most for me." I said placing the bed in the moving truck. Adrian was with Marshall so, I could pack. I placed all the boxes in the truck and walked into my now empty room. I breathed in the air and looked at all the memories we had built up in 11 months and 14 days. I looked at Adrian's nursery, also empty and smiled. Me and Proof had remodeled it and made everything nice. "It's so empty." A familar voice said taking me in a embrace. "I know." I said kissing Marshall. Adrian was playing with his toy on the floor. "I'm ready." I said holding his hand. "Okay." He said grabbing Adrian and we walked out into the car. I walked inside and me and the girls hugged tightly. "I love y'all." I said hugging them even tighter. After saying goodbye a couple of times I got in the car.
Home
After putting some of my stuff in storage we unpacked quickly and chilled waiting for Kim to drop off the girls. I decided to get in my swimming suit, I grabbed Adrian and put him in his swimsuit and floaties. I carried him down the stairs with me and walked into the pool with him. "Wawa." He said feeling the water. "Is it cold?" I asked. "Yes." He said. I set him down and he started screaming until he realized he was floating. I grabbed his hand and started swimming with him. "Mama." He said as I took him out. "Yes." I said wrapping him in a blanket. "Cold." He said. I laid him on me and laid against the beach chairs. We fell asleep in the middle of the day and woke up at night. I stood up, him in my arms and walked up stairs. "NAY!" The girls screamed. "Hey girls, can I have a favor?" They nodded. "Can you give him a bath and when you finish can you bring him to our room?" I asked. They smiled and Aliana took him from me. "Thank you." I said walking into my room weak. I had another dream about Proof and it wasn't like I could tell Marshall. I walked into the bathroom and the shower was running. "Marshall." I said undressing. He opened the shower door and I slipped in with him. "How'd you sleep?" He asked incasing me in a hug. "Good." I said washing the chemicals out my hair. He washed it out for me and did four quick braids. Yes, if the man can cut his own hair and take care of three girls for a year when Kim was out hell yeah he can braid my hair. I leaned against him and he set his head on mine. "I miss him." He said. I looked at him a nodded. "Anytime you need me I'm here." I said pointing at his head and heart.

These Drugs

The next day
Ariadne's POV
I woke up to the smell of food being cooked. I walked down the stairs and nearly fell on the floor. I walked straight into the kitchen and looked at him. I waitted for my eyes to adjust to the lights and saw he was making enough patty to feed Whitney, Him, and Me. "Marshall what the hell?" I asked. "Hey." He said. I knew something was up. I smirked and ran into our room. I turned on the bathroom light and looked through the medicine cabinet. 20 pill bottles stood on each row for different things. I looked at the bottles. All administered less than thirty-six hours and 20 empty bottles and each had 30 pills. I grabbed a plastic bag and threw the empty bottles in it before walking downstairs to him. I took them out the bag and placed them on the table. "We have a problem, well actually you have a problem." He stood up and pushed me into the wall. "Marshall, I'm not scarred of you." I said pushing him off me. He pushed me right back against the wall. He punched the wall breaking a hole in it. "I'm still not afraid of you, you got some nerve, I can push out my son, I can go through the pain of you spiltting me so you can have pleasure, you are a addict and I can't do much but, until you scare your own self I guess your fucked." I said pushing him away from me and walking to our room. I did a thorough search of the house and found myself with four trash bags of empty and full pill bottles. "This shit is fucking stupid." I mumbled. I walked downstairs and placed all four bags in front of him. "I mean do you wanna die?" I asked, "Do you want me to be miserable?" I looked him dead in his face. He looked down and I walked upstairs. I walked into Hailie's room and noticed she was crying. I wrapped my arms around her. "It's okay." I said rocking her back and forth. She had fell asleep on me so I slid from her grip and walked to check on the others. Aliana was listening to music and doing homework for her creative writing class, Whitney was awake but, was about to knock herself out, Adrian was laying with her. I walked into our room and layed on the bed. I couldn't believe how many I found. I actually started crying. I'm just saying, my son needs a dad and since my dad left my mom when I was 14 or 15 I didn't have that expirence fully. I closed my eyes and drifted asleep.

Ghetto Story

December 23,2007 

Ariadne's POV  

I looked at Adrian who was just smiling. But, that was because he didn't know what everybody else did. So the other day I found out I was pregnant, again and it fucking sucks. It turns out I was five weeks along. I was scarred of him now, when he got high and he knew I knew he would get extremely violent. I still have bruises on my arms from when he hit me two nights ago. "Mama." Adrian said quietly. "Yes." I said putting him in his pajamas. "I love you." He said snuggling up against me. I rocked him in my arms, putting both me and him to sleep. 

Marshall's POV 

When I woke up, I looked around and managed to climb out of bed and was stumbling to the bathroom. I fell in and locked the door behind me. I walked to the toilet and when I finished I washed my hands but, my knees gave out and I got back up. Can you imagine what happened next? Yes, I fell again. I couldn't move and I could hardly breathe. "Marshall!" I heard. "DADDY!" I heard, they were in the room. "Girls, everything's going to be okay. Whitney, go check on Adrian." I blacked out. 

Hospital 

Ariadne's POV 

I held Adrian in my arms along with a dufuel bag. I sat in a chair and looked at Marshall. I placed Adrian on a couch and covered him with is favorite blanket. I curled up next to Em. "Marshall. This shit is crazy, why can't we have a good year?" I asked wrapping my arms around him. 

Marshall's POV  

I was walking through my old neighborhood and saw Ariadne sitting on top of her old house smoking weed. "Aye!" She yelled catching my attention. "Come up here." She said. I climbed up the ladder and plopped down next to her. "Marshall, I need to let you know that you got things to handle." "Like?" I asked hearing someone sit down next to me. "Ariadne, is about to tell you something and you really, really need to listen to her closely." I looked over and Proof was sitting on the very edge of the roof. I heard a distant voice in the background, that soon got louder. "Marshall, I wanted to tell you that I went to the doctor's the other day and I found out we're expecting." I heard her say. "Dang what you been doin' to the future me?" Ariadne asked. "Fuckin' up." "I hear." She said climbing down the ladder and I followed and Proof followed. "Where are we going? " I asked. We walked in a building and there I looked at myself and Swift break dancing. "Why are you young here, and in this room." "See Marshall, we wouldn't connect mentally if I was the future me now." I looked at myself throwing a towel at Swift and walking to Ariadne. I listened to myself talk to her. "So what do we do now?" "You really wanna play me don't you?" She asked the old me. "Nah." The old me said. "Then get the fuck out my way." She said pushing Old me and walked out. "I'm such a asshole." I said looking down. "Come on." Proof said taking me and Ariadne down the streets. I knew where we were. "Ariadne its your first apartment." She ran up the stairs and I heard a baby crying. "OH MY GOD MARSHALL!" A 2005 Ariadne said. This Ariadne sat and looked at her future self. "NO! SHE CANNOT BE AROUND MY SON!" 2005 Ariadne screamed. "I always wondered where I would be in ten years. This wasn't the idea." 1995 Ariadne said. She looked at Adrian and smiled. "He looks just like you." She said standing. "WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT? IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" I looked at all the pain I caused. I walked out with Proof and 1995 Ariadne. Proof walked me to a train station and I looked at myself doing what Hailie called the booboo face and she came over and hugged me. "Do you even remember what happened?" Proof asked me. "The next day I fell asleep in the studio, I had you take Hailie for me and when I went to the hotel, I had to step over ten hangover bodies to get to Kim who was butt ass naked with her friend Jenny and when we flew home we got into a huge arguement with each other and I kicked her ass out." Proof nodded. "Now watch." I looked at Ariadne walking in. "What happened this time." Old Me pointed to a picture and a wedding band. "Jesus Christ." 2001 Ariadne said looking at the floor. "I don't know why you deal with her, you know she's pregnant right." "Right. It's January the 19 so, she's four months." "You were on tour four months ago for the entire month you weren't there except to take Hailie to school and then you flew back to Europe." 2001 Ariadne said. "FUCK!" I looked at myself. She hugged old me and laid against me."All right my turn." Ariadne said taking our hands. Ariadne walked us to a door and Proof stood by her. "If you walk through these doors, you're going to be up in heaven with me, which wouldn't be fair to your girls at all but, if you go through the other doors with Ariadne y'all will get better. I hugged Proof. "Love you Doody." "Love you too Doody." He said. I walked over to Ariadne. "Look Marshall I love you and all but a girl can't wait for long, just pop the question ASAP." I nodded kissing her softly. "I will I promise and I love you too." She held my hand and we walked through the door together and in my mind I knew something would be different. "Ariadne." I said hanging on to her hand. "You've been asleep for two days so go." She said smiling. I floated back and my eyes shot open. I couldn't move, and I was full of tubes. I looked down and Ariadne was laying against my arm sleeping. I couldn't move or talk and Ariadne looked up at me. "Marshall blink once if you can hear me." I blinked. She smiled. "I'm going to call the girls, Merry Christmas baby." She said kissing me.

Rescue Me

Ariadne's POV
1 week later
"Marsh." I said picking Adrian up. "Huh?" He said laying back against the hospital bed. "Are you sure you wanna do this?" I asked putting Adrian on the bed. "Yeah." He said signing the papers. I helped him in his wheelchair and placed Adrian in his lap.
Home
When we got home, I helped him into the living room and sat him there. I took Adrian to his crib and laid him down. I checked on Marshall who was sleeping on the couch. I started getting lunch ready. When it was ready, I woke Marshall up and helped him to the table. I didn't realize how weak he was until he couldn't lift up the salt. "FUCK!" He shouted, scaring me. He sat his head on the table and started crying. I stood up and walked over to him. I massaged his shoulders. "Baby, lay on the couch I'ma call someone." I said. He was just so weak and I knew it so I was going to look for some pills. He needs to detox from them and a week is not going to help.
Marshall's POV
I laid on the couch breathing softly. I fell asleep looking at a picture of Ariadne and me.
(it happened so he's dreaming a memory)
I climbed on the roof of Ariadne's house waiting on her. "Brucie." I heard her say. "Huh?" "I fucking hate the blonde Brucie." She said laying on my chest. "I wish that we could go out and do something again." She said laying on the roof. I looked over her and smirked. "What?" She asked. "Come on." I said sliding down the ladder. When she came down, we walked to my job and went underground. "Marshall." She said holding my hand. I ignored her and climbed over the bars. I connected hands with her again, pulling her up and over the bars. I wrapped my arms around her and we snuck behind some machines. She smiled, zipping her coat zipper down. I pulled down my pants and picked her up. I looked at her and smiled and caressed her chest. She started blushing and we kissed. "Marshall I have to tell you something." I snapped awake. I started screaming. "OH SHIT!" I heard Ariadne scream as she dropped something. I looked at my leg and my knee was out of place. "NAY!" I screamed. She ran to the room, hair in a ponytail, a look of worry on her face, and sweat on her face. "Yeah." She said a bag of pills in her hand. "They all are vicodon." She said handing me two. I put them in my mouth and swallowed them down. "What's wrong?" She said. "My knee is out of place." I cried. She looked at me. She grabbed a towel and poked my leg. "ARGH!" I screamed in pain. "I'm sorry but, you need to put the towel in your trap." I nodded. She made sure the towel was in and grabbed my knee and popped it in. I screamed, bit the the towel and looked at her. "I'm sorry." She said wrapping my leg up in a type of cloth. "FUCK!" I screamed. She pulled out her phone. "Hey Dr. Friend look, Marshall is scaring me, I don't feel as comfortable with him as home because..... Yes it's not enough...... Thank you so much." As soon as she got off the phone she looked at me and started crying. "I'm sorry, you know the other day since you fell on the trash can the girls made us one." She said wiping her face. She walked into the kitchen and came out with a trash can that had the girls name written on it. "We have to go into surgery for you in a week." I groaned. "I know." She said laying her head down.






A/N
I just wanna say that this world is getting crazier and crazier. You fear going to school, running events, going to movies, going to stores, getting on airplanes and what scares me is the stuff made to protect us is now being used against us. R.I.P to the Dark Knight victims, Sandy Hook victims, and now the Boston Marthon victims.

Hello there, I haven't had a chance to read this, but I can see that I will struggle because of the lines being squashed together. If you could paragraph them, I will reread it.

Okay
I will try because I'm new to this and I'm trying to figure everything out but, thank you.

Next Day
I woke up and Ariadne wasn't there. I was scarred as I limped throughout the house and straight to the kitchen.
"Nay." I said scarred out my mind. I walked warmed up a piece of chicken and sat at the counter. I really wished she was there now because, I couldn't pick up the chicken up. I heard the front door open and there she, Adrian, and the girls were. The girls were obviously very tired so, they ran straight upstairs with Adrian. Nay laid on the floor and fell asleep. I tried to get the chicken up to my face enough, and I did. I sat the chicken on the plate and as soon as I put it down I fell out on the floor. A out of body type of thing I guess. Ariadne ran to me. I looked at my jolting body. She held flipped me on my side and grabbed the house phone and called the hospital. I was sucked back into my body and I felt her arms on mine.
"Marshall." She said crying. I looked up into her eyes as the jolting and jerking stopped. I blinked slowly and she moved as EMT's came in. They picked me up and Ariadne disappeared somewhere.
Ariadne's POV
I had enough my son wasn't going to be fatherless. My little girls were not going to bury him. I walked throughout the house and grabbed every pill I saw. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself. My eyes watery. I called Kim.
"Goodmorning." Kim said sniffling.
"Marshall had a seizure and-"
"I'm on my way."
30 minutes later
I hugged Kim, and shockingly she hugged me back. I cried.
"I know." She said patting me on my back. "You can't keep doing this to yourself, your daughter needs to make it through these next six- seven months." Kim said rubbing my stomach. Hailie walked down with her stuff and she hugged me.
"I love you Nay." She said walking out the door with her sisters and Kim. I looked at them and locked the door. "Oh Ariana." I said to my baby. I cried and cried until, a someone knocked on the door. I sniffed and coughed before walking to the front. I creaked open the door and my sister walked in.
"Where is Rain?" She asked refering to Adrian. I pointed up and she ran up stairs and emerged several minutes later with Adrian in his car seat and a baby bag.
"Where are you going with my son?" I asked my eyes filling to the brim with tears.
"You need a break." Briadne said walking out to her car. I blew Adrian a kiss and closed the door. I kicked the door and punched a wall.
"WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING!" I screamed grabbing my phone.
"Hello this is Rochester, Michigan Detoxification Center."
"Hey," I cleared my voice," I'm checking my boyfriend in for a strange variety of prescription medication."
"Do you know what kind they are, or the names?" The woman asked.
"Um. Vicodin, Ambien, and Valium oh and methadone." I said opening one of Marshall and my photo albums.
"Can I have his name?" The lady said.
"His name is Marshall Bruce Mathers."
"Was this a mutual d-"
"I'm sorry but, I'm pregnant and he overdosed over Christmas, and he had a seizure today and he was due for a knee surgery today, and he might be going through withdrawl." I said crying for the millionth time today.
"Okay and when do you want him to come in?" She asked.
"Monday will be perfect." I said smiling.
"Okay, we are get a room ready for Mr. Mathers and all you need to do is pack up a bag and bring him in, in three days." She said.
"Thank you so much." I said getting dressed.
"It is our pleasure." She said.
Hospital
I walked in and there he was siting in discomfort and the drugs being put in to his system.
"We gotta talk." I said sitting in a chair next to him. He looked at me in so much pain.
"So, today is Thursday. I don't know where to go with this but, Monday morning I'm taking you and you're going to get help." I said and I didn't cry, I didn't scream, I took in the silence and breathed in.
"Do I have a choice?" He asked and I shook my head.
"No, I gotta pack your bags tonight." I said rubbing his back. "And you are still using aren't you?" I asked. He nodded. I held his hand and smiled. We never had to get married but, as long as he was there for me as much as I am for him then that's all I'll ever need.
Monday Morning
I woke up and looked at the time. I couldn't believe he was going to be gone from today February 18 until April 20th. I looked at him cuddled up in a ball and his eyes wide open. I rubbed his back and walked into the bathroom. After a quick shower, I got dressed in a sweat suit and walked out to the car with him. Adrian was still with Briadne but, she was bringing him to say bye to Marshall. I glanced at him and he leaned his chair back and was looking yup.
"I love you." He said a tear coming out from either heartbreak or withdrawal.
"I love you too." I said stopping at a light and seeing Briadne, Lisa, and Adrian.
"I'm sorry, I messed up th-" He started.
"Stop Marshall." I said as we reached the detox center.
I got out the car and looked at my sister and niece. I ran to their car and grabbed his baby bag and him.
"DON'T YOU EVER IN YOUR MUTHAFUCKIN' LIFE TAKE MY CHILD AWAY FROM ME AGAIN!" Marshall screamed, some how he got out the car by himself. I walked to him and stuck Adrian in his arms and walked to Lisa. She hugged me and smiled. I hugged Marshall and he squatted down and kissed my belly. I held him close and he gave me a kiss. He handed me his jacket.
"What's this for." I asked kissing him some more.
"Basically, you can do that shit they do on movies. Wear it, smell it, love it because, it smells like Mr. Mathers himself." He said holding my hand. I grabbed his crutches and he reluctantly accepted my help. I grabbed Adrian and walked him into the center with Marshall.
"Hello Mr. Mathers." A girl named Valentina said.
"Hey." Marshall said his arms around my waist.
"Hey Mrs. Mathers, Hi Adrian." She said looking at us

Distance (5 years sober!)


I looked down at my phone, a little nervous, a little happy.  

"Hello?" I asked answering the call. 

"Hey this is Demetre I was wondering if I was speaking to Nay." The mystery caller said. 

"Damn Dee your voice got hella deep." I laughed putting my Bluetooth in. 

"Yes it did." He snorted. I pulled out of the detox center and made sure Adrian was okay before doing the half hour drive home. 

"So Dee you in the Michigan area still?" I asked. 

"Yeah, my daughter said hi." He said and in the background I heard a little girl. 

"Really? You and Alicia-Aliana had a baby?" I asked. 

"Yup." He said popping the 'P' 

"Congrats. I haven't seen her since y'all moved out the house." I said smiling. 

"We aren't doing anything today can we stop by?" He asked. 

"Sure actually call up the whole crew and we'll have a reunion." I said stopping at a light.  

"Will do. See you in about two hours." He said. 

"Goodbye Mr. Victourous." I said driving into the driveway. I picked Adrian up and walked into the house. The girls would be here soon and I needed to get everything ready for this last minute reunion. I sat Adrian in his play pen and called Christina and Jessica. 

"HEY GIRL!" The two women shouted in the phone.  

"Wassup y'all, I had a question." I said getting straight to the point.  

"What is it?" They asked. 

"Okay so everybody from a couple of years ago is coming for a reunion I'm having at the house and I wanted to know if y'all wanted to join us?" I asked wiping the counter down. 

"Yeah, you need help?" The asked. 

"It would be nice." I mumbled felling nauseous. 

"Be right over Momma." They said hanging up. I ran to the closest bathroom and gagged before the morning sickness overcame with a lot of food from last night. I mean I keep forgetting I'm pregnant and it's been a while since I was. I washed my face and brushed my teeth before cleaning up the living room.  

"SEXY MAMA WHERE YOU AT MY BITCH?" Christina screamed.  

"In the living room." I said a little tired. I smiled at the females and they looked at me.  

"So what happened to I'm going to go natural for the hair color?" Jessica asked.  

"I can't dye it for another seven months." I said wiping my forehead.  

"YOU'RE PR-" 

"Shut up Christina my neighbors don't need to know about that." I laughed. 

"When were you going to tell us? How far along are you?" 

"I was going to tell you when everyone got here, and I'm 11 weeks and 3 days." I said smiling. They hugged me and after a couple of seconds of catching up we separated into groups soon everything was done and everybody was here. I silenced the room and they all looked at me. 

"Um, how the hell do I start? Well this past year as been really, really tough for not only the Mathers and Dashnel family but, everyone. You know he was going through his addiction and had to explain to the girls last night he was going to be away from today until April 20th. I don't know how to thank y'all, especially Christina, Jessica, and Demetre. Now I have some big news that I might get cheers over." I said smiling at them. 

"What is it?" Taryn Manning, one of my roomie's during my broadway show asked. 

"While I'm PREGNANT!" I said beaming at Demetre's look.  

"CONGRATS ARIADNE!" My friends shouted coming to the stage and hugging me. Adrian was playing with his Legos near the pool and was drooling on him self. Now even with all my friends here I felt a little lonely.

Runnin'

March 29,2008 (17 weeks and a day) 

I crawled under the covers. I felt her moving around and I was just laying there. Adrian was laying next to me. The phone rang, and it rang, and it rang, it rang until I grabbed it and answered it.  

"Hello." I said wiping drool off my arm. 

"Hey Nay." Marshall said. 

"Hi baby." I said rubbing my baby bump.  

"How are you guys?" He asked just as Hailie, Alaina, and Whitney walked in. 

"We're good, we just miss you a lot." I said as all the girls cuddled up next to me. 

"It's only twenty more days and then I'll be home." He said into the phone. 

"I love yous." I said kissing the phone. 

"I miss your sugars, Sugar." He said.  

"I miss yours too, oh the girls are in here did you wanna talk to them?" I asked smirking. 

"Yes please." He said quietly. I put it on speaker and they said, 

"Hey daddy!"  

"Hey babies." He said, his voice cracking. 

"We miss you." They said bunching up to the phone to make sure they heard each and every word. Adrian climbed over them.  

"Dad. Daddy, my birthdate is in four days." Adrian said smiling.  

"Oh man I forgot little man, I'm sorry." Marshall said, I forgot also. What am I going to do? 

"I love you dad." They all said tears falling. 

"I love y'all too." He sniffled. My eyes were watery but, Adrian was wiping them away for me. 

"Mama stop crying." He said. 

"Nay." Marshall said. 

"Yeah." I said kissing Adrian. 

"Pick your head up, little soldier." He said kissing the phone again.  

"Okay." I said taking the phone off the speaker. 

"Thank you, how's the baby doing?" He asked. 

"She's fine, I'm fine." 

"You don't sound like it." He said dully. 

"I promise baby." I said. 

"I gotta go." He said. 

"Bye baby." I said hanging up. I looked at the girls and they smiled at me. I kissed their cheeks and they laid with me and they wept. I tucked them in and walked downstairs. I walked outside in my robe, I jumped in the water and leaned back. I let the coolest hit me, and rubbed my belly. Soon it didn't bother me anymore and that's when I got out. I ran in the house and grabbed the sweater. I hopped in the shower and looked at a picture of us in a frame on the wall. It was on the set of 8 Mile and he had introduced me into Brittany Murphy, very bubbly, very sweet. We were standing together, our noses touching, and a grin on our faces. I placed my hand on my bump and let my mind go blank.

Final Warning
Ariadne's POV
20 Weeks & 2 Days
So day was the day, April 20th. It fells crazy to say it and even crazier that, when he left I had no bump and now I do. I drove all the kids down to the center.
"When y'all walk in, tell the lady you're here for Marshall Mathers. Y'all get the tears, hugs, and kisses, I'll be in here." I said letting my insecurities get to me. They nodded and within 20 minutes they all came out red faces and all. I slipped on the sweater and got out the car. He looked at me, he was slim again and had shaven his beard. He put our son in Alaina's arms and ran to me. He picked me up, twirled me around, and kissed me.
"I missed you," He said kissing me again. "I love the sweater by the way but, I wanna see the bump." He was really testing these hormones. I slid the sweater off and he smiled. He moved his hand up and down my belly. I smiled putting my hand on his. He offered to drive and all of us piled into the truck, car, vehicle- shit whatever you call it and drove to Kim's. They gave us hugs and kisses before, walking into her place. We drove to Christina and Jessica's place, dropped Adrian off and went home.
Home
He dropped the keys in the bowl and picked me up. He held my hand and walked me to the room. Now I know what y'all thinking, 'Ew she's pregnant, what the fuck man? Ain't the baby gon feel that?' that's why I stopped it.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Look, I feel that we should wait until the baby is born before we do something like this."
"Okay." I knew what he was thinking.
"So I had a idea." I said laying back.
-----------------_________________-------------__________________-----
We were in the pool and were sitting at the bottom of the pool holding hands. I pointed up and he pulled me on his back and swam up.
"I missed you a lot." He said holding me close.
"They started sleeping in the bed with me because, they missed your scent."
"I missed yours." He said softly, his gentle touch on my skin. I breathed in and allowed my fears to dissolve. He helped me out the water and wrapped a towel against my body. He grabbed something and got down on a knee.
"Look.... I should've been asked you this but, I was to high and mighty but um shit..... Will you marry me sweetheart." He asked. I was choked up with tears so, I simply nodded. He kissed me lightly and picked me up. Our breathing was slow, and as I laid against his chest he's heart beat soothing me. I silently prayed to Big G (God) and hoped it could stay this way.
