Infinite (Eminem Fanfic)

12. My Peace & My Sanity

Marshall's P.O.V.

Since I got to be up at the studio early tomorrow, trying to record for this new EP I'm working on, I ended up leaving the party earlier than I normally do.

All of the fellas was still out there getting it in and acting a fool, when I bounced on them, taking Jordyn with me and dropping her off at her house. Ain't no way I was leaving her out there at the club the way she was like, you know what I'm saying?

That other chick, Savannah, chose to stay though, being too busy tryna hook up with either Proof, Bizzy or Denaun, not even sure which one of them she was feeling the most at that point. Not to judge cause it ain't none of my business no way, but that girl do seem just a tad bit slutty to me, but I'm not one to judge like I said.

When I was dropping Jordyn off at her place, I ain't gonna front, I really felt for her when that woman who I presume is her aunt came to the door. That lady seemed like a real bitch and the way she spoke to Jordyn, I knew right away that Jo wasn't exagerrating when she was telling me the other day how her fucking aunt hates her guts. The vibe I had got from that lady was that she definitely does, and I had to bite my tongue real hard in order not to cuss her ass out. If I could I would take Jordyn home with me, to be honest. Just so she won't have to deal with that aunt of hers, but with how Kim is staying there with me still, obviously that wasn't an option.

Speaking of which.

Not long after I walk into my mother's trailer and settle on the couch in the living room where I stay, Kim comes out of the small bedroom she, her mother and Hailie share, and sits on the edge of the couch with me.

"Hey," she says softly.

"Hey," I reply back, scratching the back of my head.

"So, how was your court case?" Kim then asks me.

"It got thrown out on technicality," I shrug, not really wanting to get into it with her. If she really cared, she could've actually showed up to be honest, not like she had anything else to do today, but nah. Neither she nor my mother had so much as bothered to make it there today.

"Well, that's good," Kim smiles and places her hand on my shoulder, rubbing it lightly with her fingertips as I frown at her. Fuck is she being so nice to me for?

"Thanks," I reply back, scratching my head again, and Kim smiles at me again. I ain't gonna front, I feel like I'm in a goddamn Twilight Zone all of a sudden.

"So uh... how's Hailie?" I then ask her awkwardly. It occurs to me that I ain't seen my daughter all day.

"Sleeping," Kim says softly and looks towards the bedroom. "You want me to bring her out so you could see her?"

"Nah," I quickly shake my head. "I ain't wanna wake her. Let her rest."

"Makes sense. Want me to make you something to eat?" Kim then asks me, and I'm wondering to myself if maybe I'm hallucinating this whole convo between her and I right now cause I'm higher than I thought I was?

"Nah, it's cool," I chuckle. "Ate already."

"Oh yeah?" Kim then narrows her eyes at me as she keeps her hand on my shoulder. "Where have you been all day anyway, Marshall?"

"Chilling with my homies," I reply back with a frown. "Why you asking me that shit anyway, Kim?"

"No reason," Kim then smiles. "It's just that Dawn has told me something today," she then adds.

"What Dawn told you, girl?" I grumble, not really interested.

"Well, she said that one of her friends had seen you dancing with some girl at the club earlier tonight. Is that true, Marshall?"
