Through The Storm (Eminem Fan Fiction)

I Believe What You Say of Me

Marshall POV

"Gas up the jet Paul! I'm headed to Florida! Tonight!"

I walked through the studio while still on the phone, so Porter was there to hear everything I was saying.

"Marshall, I don't just have jets on standby at your beck and call." Paul laughed deep at me.

"But you have the power to get me there tonight still. It's only like two hours away by plane. That's what the fuck I pay you for."

Porter was now chuckling and shaking his head as he sat behind the soundboard.

"Aight Paul." I hung up the phone and looked at Denaun, "He said he'll call me back, so whenever I can get on a flight, I'm gettin out of here."

"Why you suddenly going to Florida? Is Val ok?"

"Yeah, she's gonna be aight, but there's no reason for her to go through this alone."

"She'll probably be thrilled as hell if you go down there and surprise her."

"Yeah, I think she will be. I knew she'd be going through a lot of bullshit emotions while she was down there. I just wanna make sure she's ok."

My phone rang in my hand, and I looked down to see it was Paul.

"I'll see you next week man." I dapped up with Porter before I left.

I didn't get up in the air until later that evening, so I had time to stop home and pack a bag. I had been texting with Val all day and she was at her friend Sierra's house now. She said she planned to stay in for the rest of the night and unwind. I asked for her friend's address and told Val it was because I wanted to send something to her which was partially true. I had a dozen roses delivered about an hour later and she called to tell me how much better it made her day and that she loved and missed me. I couldn't wait to see her! She would be so excited!

2 hours later...around 9:00 PM in Florida

I just showed up at Valentina's friend's house where she was staying and lucky for me, they let me in the house. Sierra's husband, Pedro, was about a foot taller than me as he shook my hand and told me to follow him. There was a girl at the end of the hall standing in a doorway.

"Val, I know it hurts, but you need to calm down. Fuck them." The girl turned around and put her hand to her mouth in surprise to see me standing there. "Uh, Valentina, I think you have a visitor."

Val was laying on the pullout couch in a bath robe and towel wrapped around her freshly washed hair and I could tell she had been crying. She jumped in my arms and threw her arms around my neck when she saw me.

"It's ok baby. I'm here." I held one arm wrapped around her little body and the other at the back of her head to hold her tight as a fresh tear escaped her eye.

Val finally stepped down from my arms, "I needed you here so much." She whispered in my ear as I continued hugging her.

"I'm here now baby." I bent down to look in her eyes.

Val eventually turned to her friend who I think was standing there gawking at us the entire time. I'm sure seeing Valentina with a man who cares about her the way I do is something Sierra has never seen before. And of course, because of who I am.

Valentina stepped away from me a bit, "Sierra, this is Marshall."

Sierra was kind and caring. I could tell she was genuinely happy for her friend. Her husband insisted that I stick around and that there were still some burgers on the grill from earlier.
