'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 61

Three days before I leave Michigan I decided I would take this time and chill out at 54Sound with our friends since I don't know when I'll come back, they all cracking up jokes and working while music is blasting through the radio, and I'm sat on Marshall's lap "Wanna blunt?" Dina asks me as she rolls up her weed "Yeah" I nod "She smokes this shit?" Obie asks laughing "Ma girl is full of surprises" Marshall smirks at Obie "Bet" Obie sips his whiskey "Here" Dina passes me the blunt she rolled up and I place it on my lip, she lights it up and I inhale the smoke, I blow it out.

I hate smoking weed, it always makes me feel and act weird. Sometimes I can barely concentrate on what's going on since I'm lightweight and get high fast. I'm only on my first blunt, barely halfway through it and I'm already feeling sick. My stomach clenches and I become green "Are you okay?" Shanice asks me as she notices my complexion changing "No" I drop the blunt on the table and jump off Marshalls lap, I race to the restroom ignoring Marshall hollering my name. I force my way inside one of the stalls and vomit my guts out "Amanda" Marshall bangs the door "What's going on?" I don't answer him. I need to stay clear from smoking weed, my stomach doesn't tolerate it. I get up and flush the toilet "Amanda, open up" Marshall yells "Give me a second" I approach the sink and rinse my mouth out with water, I wipe my mouth with my sleeve and head over to the door.

I open the door and Marshall looks panicked "What happened? Are you okay?" Marshall asks me "Yeah I'm fine, I just can't smoke weed anymore" I chuckle "You scared me, Amanda" Marshall pulls me in for a hug "I'm sorry" I rub his back "Don't be" We pull away from the hug "Do you need to go home and rest?" He asks me "Yeah" I nod "Should I go with you?" Marshall asks me with concern in his voice "No, I'll be fine I swear" I smile at him "Okay, call me or text me when you are home" Marshall kisses my forehead "I will" I head back out to the guys and say bye to all of them. I get in my car and take a sip of my water before I begin to drive, I place my purse on the passenger seat. I begin to drive.

I finally make it home and check the time on the wall clock, it's 4:35pm. I walk my way to the kitchen to make myself a warm cup of green tea, I grab my phone and message Marshall "I'm home" a few seconds later, he writes me back "Aight, I'mma be home soon, I love you" I smile at his text "I love you too xx" I write back to him. I walk to my living room and toss my phone gently on the coffee table, I sit down and place my cup of tea on the coffee table and pick up the remote control to turn on the TV. My tea is way too hot to drink.

I skim through the channels to find something interesting to watch but so far nothing. I stop on the news channel because the reporter mentions Marshall's album The Marshall Mathers LP, she talks about Kim and Dawn. Soon after I see my picture leaving the prison pop up on the screen "Detroit rapper Eminem's current girlfriend Amanda Vanderwall was spotted yesterday leaving the prison at exactly 12:20pm. An insider states Miss Vanderwall's father is currently being held at that prison for attempted murder. No further information has been provided at this time. We'll update you more as the story progresses" I hate the media. I grab my phone and message Marshall "You need to come home now! We need to talk" A few seconds later, he messages me back "On my way"

Not even 30 minutes later, Marshall bursts through the door and spots me sitting on his sofa looking pissed "What's up?" He asks me as he takes off his hoodie and hangs it on his coat rack "Someone took a picture of me yesterday leaving the prison and now the news is talking about me" I break it to him "What were you doing at the prison?" Marshall asks me as he sits next to me "I visited my dad" I tell Marshall "Why the fuck you visited Jared?" Marshall glares at me "Mom told me what happened after I left" I tell Marshall "But that's not important" I shake my head "What's important is getting the media to leave me alone" Marshall leans back "Welcome to my world" Marshall sighs "I don't want any part of this, I don't want to be the media's hot topic" I'm clearly frustrated over this "Well you are dating me and I'm the main topic" I turn my head to look at him "I'll sort it out" Marshall says as he gets up and pulls his phone out from the pocket of his sweatpants.

After almost 15 minutes, Marshall comes back "So" I look at him as he sits down "You're not gonna like this" Marshall sighs "But they want to interview you live" Marshall continues "You've got to be kidding?" Rhetorical question "Use this as an excuse to tell the media to fuck off" Marshall says seriously "If they ask me personal questions about us, I'm keeping it short" I tell him "Yeah" Marshall nods "Who am I being interviewed by?" I ask Marshall "By Mojo in the Morning on the 6th January" Marshall says "Great" I lean back and let out a long sigh "You're gonna be fine, Amanda" Marshall tries to reassure me but it's not working "I've done this many times before" Marshall continues "Yeah but I'm not famous" I tell Marshall "Famous or not you are dating rap star Eminem not Marshall in the public eye so as long as you are dating Eminem you are the talk in the media just like everyone else" Marshall explains, I hate that Marshalls right.
