Life Goes On

11

"You look amazing babe" Jesse compliments my outfit while lying in bed.

"I so wish you could come" I say a little sadly.

"Me too babe but I've been so sick this week" he says and gives me a weak smile.

Jesse isn't able to go to the Deja and Proof's wedding because he's had the flu for the past few days. So I will have to go by myself but it's fine I can hang out with guys that I haven't seen in so long. Its weird that their known as D12 to the entire world now. I used to know them as my crew, the guys I would hang out with almost every Friday night. Too bad we lost connection over the years. I'm so nervous to see Marshall I think to myself. I don't have any feelings for him at all but I know he's changed throughout years. I just don't know what to expect. Will he even talk to me? Will he be angry at me for not answering any of his calls or texts? I guess I will find out.

I pull into the church parking lot. I don't see many people but I know that's because they only want close family and friends here because of their fame now a days.

"Hey Rachel how have you been baby" Deja's mother greets me at the door as I walk in.

"Good how are you?" I ask her as she pulls me in for a hug.

"Great! Take a seat in any of the first 3 rows" she tells me.

I nod and smile beginning to look for an empty spot. I quickly walk into a pew without looking to who I was sitting going to be setting next to. I sit down looking around to see any familiar faces. I look to my left and notice Marshall right next to me! Oh my gosh! I think to myself. I look at his new bleach blonde hair to his fancy suit he has on. He looks good...Rachel stop! I tell myself in my head.

"Damn long time no see" I hear someone say. I snap my head to see that Marshall has said that.

"Oh yeah hello" I say so incredibly awkward.

"How have you been Rachel" he asks me with a light smirk displaying on his lips.

"Oh I've been good" I say with a fake smile. I see his eyes run down my body and back up to my eyes.

"Yeah you look good to" he says smirking. I blush immediately.

"Oh wow tha-" I was interrupted by the music starting to play. Everyone turned around waiting for Deja to come through the large wooden doors.
She finally walks out and she looks absolutely stunning. She's wearing a simple but beautiful white lacy dress. I feel the tears coming.

The reception was beautiful. Deja and Proof have some strong and amazing love for each other. I am so happy for them. I'm now on the way to the after party which only consists of their close friends and a few family members. I make it to Deja's beautiful home. They live in an amazing suburban home that's still in Detroit. I walk into their home seeing all of my old friends. It felt like the old Friday nights at Proofs moms house.

"Rachel" I here Deja call me from the kitchen.

"Heyyyy" I say and pull her in for a hug.

"So how does it feel to be married to the man of your dreams" I ask her and giggle.

"Girl you have no idea! I just can't wait until our honey moon!" She says with excitement.

"Yes! Your going to Hawaii right?" I ask her.

"Yes I can't wait" she says smiling.

"Anyways...have you talked to white boy yet" she ask smirking.

"You guys talking about me" I hear Marshall speak up from behind me.

"Marshall your so nosey" Deja says jokingly.

"Well I'm the only white boy here so I had to know" he say laughing while looking at me.

"Yo Rachel can we actually talk" he says looking at me more serious.

"Um yeah sure" I say looking at Deja. I follow him into I assumed to be a guest room.

"So what's been up" he asks looking at me.

"Marshall... what do you want" I ask him knowing this conversation isn't about catching up.

"Nothing..." he says "Why haven't you called me back these last couple of years when I called?" He asked and looking deep into my eyes. I could see the hurt that lies within them.

"Well I began a serious relationship and I just didn't feel it was right to be calling you and shit" I said truthfully.

"I just wanted to talk and see what you were up to" he says acting confused.
"And who the fuck are you dating these days?" he asks me.

"His name is Jesse... he's pretty amazing" I say smiling to myself.

"Wow so you just completely moved on" He says. I know look at him completely confused.

"What? You literally got married and still are!" I say a little angry.

"I'm just kidding" he says laughing. I shake my head at him.

"But we're getting a divorce actually" He says. He doesn't seem very sad about it.

"Damn that sucks" I say feeling bad.

"Yeah it's whatever... so wheres this boyfriend you apparently have?" He asks playfully.

"He's sick" I say not looking at him.

"Mmm" He hums at me.

"What?" I ask smirking.

"Nothing... it's just that you'd think he'd want to come and protect his girl from the sexy and famous ex boyfriend" He says smirking.

"Well actually he trusts me" I say looking at him.

"Does he know about me?" He asks randomly.

"Well yeah I told him that me and you were together for a little while" I tell him.
"He trusts that I don't feel anything for you anymore" I add.

"Wow he's just so amazing and chill isn't he" He says and I can hear angry in his voice.

"What is wrong with you? Your the one asking about him!" I say angrily.

"It's nothing Rachel!" he raises his voice.

"No what the fuck is wrong!" I ask once more.

"I still fucking love you" He admits.

"Marshall... what?" I say shocked.

Opp what will happen next?
