I Like the Way it Hurts (Eminem Fanfic)

Chapter 28 -First Christmas as a Couple

Christmas Day

Marshall's POV:
Today is my baby's birthday. Damn turning 5. She is the most beautiful thing in my world.

Kim and I are spending Christmas together at my house. Although she will be leaving after. There is no way in hell she's spending the night here.

I have to call Sara later to talk to her to be clear about today so there aren't any misunderstandings.

To be quite honest with myself, Kim, whether I like it or not, will always have a special place in my heart. She was my first love. I've known her since I was fifteen, almost half ma life. But putting her right next to Sara. There is no comparing. Sara's heart is genuine. She isn't fake. She really likes people. She makes everyone feel comfortable. When she walks into a room there is no denying you can feel her presence. I feel with her something I've never thought I could feel.

Unfortunately I can't spend time with her today. She's with her family and she has made it very clear to me that she is perfectly fine with me being in Michigan instead of next to her.That reminds me I should call her.

"Hello." she answered.

"Hey I just wanna say Merry Christmas baby!"

"Aww. Merry Christmas to you too. How's the birthday girl doing?"

"She's great. She's over at Kim's right now getting ready for a little party we're throwing her."

"Oh, well that's great that you guys still spend days together like this. It's good for her to see mommy and daddy get along."

"Babe I meant to tell you sooner about this but to be sincere I was putting it off cause I didn't know how to approach you with this."

"Emy, it's okay. This is her special day. I'm sure she is gonna have a great time. This is an important memory for her to have."

"Aren't you gonna ask me anything?"Im sure she has questions about Kim and I. She should. We haven't really spent a good deal on the subject.

"Mmm no. Should I?"

"Uh I mean if you actually don't have a question then no."

"Marshall I love you. Spend time with Hailie, okay. Dont worry about me I'll be fine. Tell her I said happy birthday alright."

"Okay I will. You enjoy yourself too."

"Yes. Have a good day Marsh."

"Wait. You didn't think I forgot did you. I love you too."

"Can I send you a kissy?" She asked.

"Yes." I said with a tone implying that she doesn't even have to ask.

I heard her kiss noise on the other side of the line.

...

After having a nice late lunch we had the girls open their gifts. Nate received something's too. Now that he is a teenager it's a little harder to please him.

Just as I was picking the trash away from all the gift openings Kim stood in front of me.

"Marshall..."

"Yea?"

"I was gonna ask you if I could stay here for the night. I just really wanna wake up and have breakfast with Hailie and Alaina."

Fuck. Really? I was hoping this wouldn't happen.

"Uh... man Kim I don't know..."

"C'mon Marshall..."

"Alright you can stay in one of the guest rooms."

"Thanks." she smiled. Ah great.

...
(Later that night)

I heard someone saying my name right next to me by my bedside.

I open my eyes and who do I see, Kim. The one and only.

"Yo Kim what are you doing here?"

"I just really wanna spend the night with you. Like old times. I miss that. Let's give us another chance."

"What the... No. Get outta here. This is exactly why I didn't want you to stay. Go to the room I told you sleep in or I'm kicking you out."

"Are you serious? Are you gonna choose that fake ass popstar who can't even take care of herself over me. Someone you've known for years and the mother of your daughter. Wow what a great father you are choosing that bitch over your daughters happiness."

"You know what... I swear to god I am this close to kicking you out. Fuck outta here. You don't know Sara therefore you can't insult her. And you can bet your ass she is a much better person than what you could ever be. Don't even try bringing Hailie into this."

"Okay fine. Act that way towards me but when you realize the only person who you love and loves you back is me then we'll see who's begging." With that she walked out and I made sure to lock ma door to keep her out.
