WAKE UP CALL

The talk

-Aigh't see ya guys later! Sa Proof, som var den siste som dro fra den lille sammenkomsten med D12.

-Later, doody! Ropte Marshall og lukket igjen døren etter han.

-TAKE A GODDAMN BREAK!! YOU NEED IT!! Marshall hoppet av utbruddet mitt og stirret på meg med store øyne. -Sleep medication is okay, but the amount you take is ridiculous!! You have to take a break, Marshall. Since 1999 you've been constantly either making a new album or touring or been flying around America on interviews! When you do have a break, you visit your family and then it's all over again! Of course, you need to keep the fans happy and your family is your life! But you don't have any time for yourself anymore! When you do, you're writing a new rap and then it's back to work. Jeg så han inn i øynene. -It's not healthy, I'm worried sick!

Han så på meg og nikket kort.

-I know. Sa han, jeg fikk store øyne. -I am taking a break, from the spotlight so I can be there for Haillie... I mean, I really haven't lately and that's killing me...

-You're a great dad... Sa jeg smilende og klappet han på ryggen, han møtte blikket mitt hardt.

-If I was she'd fucking be here right now. Sa han gjennom sammenbitte tenner, jeg vendte blikket hans mot meg.

-Haillie loves you, you know that damn well. Don't you dare saying anything else, if you ask her if you are a good dad, she's gonna laugh at you and then scream yes in your face. Don't you dare turning anything you have to something bad! Jeg smilte til han lett. -So you've thought about it for some time? Spurte jeg og byttet tema, han nikket kort.

-Yeah, just producing for the Shady-family y'know. No interviews or tours or albums in a while, I don't know how long, but as long as I need it to be... Haillie is 11 now, I have to be there for her. The same goes to the rest of the girls, Whitney and Alaina. I love them and I haven't really showed them that lately... Jeg nikket til han smilende.

-I'm happy you've thought about it and know what you are doing... I gotta admit, I thought you really was stupid! Lo jeg, han smilte til meg.

-Yeah, I get it... Lo han. -But you know... I don't know if you know but... I take, like... E? Y'know, before performing.

-Ecstasy? Han nikket, jeg likte ikke det, men han var ærlig så jeg skulle ikke kaste det i trynet på han. -Why?

-I'm... You know I've always been fucking shy... Lo han nervøst, jeg smilte lett til han.

-You nervous for perfoming? Han nikket.

-Yeah, I try not to use it, but then I see the crowd and... I'm like "yo, I can't fucking do this, I need something to boost my energy" so i take E and it helps... The faces in the crowd gets blurry too, I don't see their faces looking at me and shit.

-You need to stop that, you know... Sa jeg stille, han nikket kort.

-Yeah, I just... That's why I'm taking a break, I can't keep doing what I do, I have three daughters like, I need to chill out. I know that... Because of you, no one other than you and Proof have noticed this shit, that's why you're my bestfriends... Han slo meg i skulderen lekent.

-Hey, just bestfriend?? Sa jeg smilende.

-GIRLFRIEND? You happy now, you little bastard... Lo han, jeg smilte og dro han inntil meg i en klem.

-I'm happy, I'm VERY happy... Sa jeg og kysset han på kinnet.
