His Peace

The Interview

I finally finished packing. Amara, Kayden and I are heading to Guyana for the summer break. School is finally out, we have two months off so as usual we take the first flight to Guyana. The only difference this time is Kayden is travelling with us.

Its been almost two and a half months since Marshall asked me to officially be his. He is very busy with concerts, tours and interviews so our communication is limited. Even though I miss him like crazy I understand that it is a part of the job. It is funny how someone can just walk into your life and make such an impact.

"Hey Zen come out here quickly." Kayden called for me from the living room. I quickly head out to see his and Mara watching Marshall in an interview. I sat on the ground next to them and stared at how good he looks, even though his face was void of any emotion.

Interviewer: So Eminem, congratulations on hitting Platinum on you new Album.

Marshall: Thank you, but I got to give credit to the fans. They are the real reason for it hitting platinum.

Interviewer: Of course, but we must acknowledge your lyrical genius. Every song on that album was different, evoked a different emotion and you have the ever beautiful Rihanna too. Its is amazing.

Marshall politely thanked the interviewer commenting how amazing it was working with the talented Rihanna. I am still jealous of him for getting to meet her.

Interviewer: One song in particular I would like you to ask you about. Space Bound. It felt very personal, is it for a special person? Do you have a muse for that song Eminem?

There was a pause, I held my breath waiting for his answer. I wasn't sure what I wanted him to say but i definitely did not expect him to say wat he did and man it hurt hearing it. It hurt a lot.

Marshall: Nah. That wasn't about anyone special. Just heard a word from a random and rolled with it. Took me five minutes to write in my hotel room... 

The interviewer asked him something but I was too far gone to hear, I felt the tears roll down my cheek. I had no control over them. Mara tried to hug me, Zayden was trying to explain something but I couldn't hear him either. I wanted to be alone. I silently got up and went to my room, lie on my bed. His words replayed in my head over and over until I fell asleep.

Mara POV

"What the fuck was that Kayden? How can he say something like that?" I was furious at Marshall. Zen hasn't cried since the incident until she met Marshall. The emotionless shell she was in was finally falling apart. She was finally smiling freely, Finally wearing colours, hell, she is even starting to dress like she used to. I was finally getting my best friend back. How can he say that she wasn't special. We all knew that song was for her.

"Babe he is protecting her. His world can be ruthless. If they only get a whiff of him having any form of relationship they would stop at nothing to find out who she is and Zen's peaceful world would be over." Kayden tried to explain and I understand where he was coming from but to call her a random, really? that was uncalled for. 

I got up to check on Zen. She was fast asleep, with a tear stained face. I felt sorry for her and let her sleep. As I went to pull the covers over her I saw her phone ringing. I picked it up and quietly  left the room.

"You're one piece of shit, you know that Marshall!" I had to let him know.

" Where is she Amara?" How can he be so calm? Like he doesn't care.

"She cried herself to sleep. Thanks for that by the way."

"Look Amara..."

"No you look Marshall, my best friend is not a blanket for when you're cold okay. She has been to hell, tortured and hurt in ways you would never want to imagine. I was finally getting my best friend back and you pulled her right back to square one. If you don't want the public to know about her then you should've explained that to her. If she is a fling to you then let her know but what you did there was a low blow, even for you." I ended the call before he can reply. I looked up to see Zen standing in the hall. I ran up to her and hugged her. She immediately broke down.

"Shh, lets go rest, we have a flight to catch in the morning." I took her to bed and we both tucked in. I held my girl until we both fell asleep. 

Marshall

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. That's all I could say zs I threw the vase across my hotel room into the wall. It broke to pieces imitating the state of my heart currently. Zee is not answering her phone, Amara said her piece and is now ignoring me. Kayden tells me that I made my girl cry the entire night. I've done a lot of fucked up shit in my life but I honestly cannot remember feeling this disgraced by myself as I feel now.

I know what I said was fucked, I knew I could've said something else without sounding so heartless but that is just how I am. I speak what comes to mind and I know I have to be better and I intend to for Zenobia. I truly intend to, because she is worth it.

What Amara told me haunted me through the night. Like what does she mean by Zenobia being in hell? How can  a pure soul as Zenobia experience the ugly of this world. She deserves only the best and the purest this world has to offer and I know I am the farthest from that but I do not intend to let her go. Ever. I must make this right.

I picked up my phone and called Kayden. They should be on their way to the airport by now.

" Hey bro, what's up?" I guess he didn't want them to know he is speaking to me.

" Send me the address. I need to make this right."

He replied with an ok and hung up. That's why I appreciate Kayden. He always have my back.

I immediately called Paul. He is going to flip a switch and maybe sprout a few more gray hairs but I got to get to my girl. I need to get to my girl.

"Yo Em what's up?"

"Book me a flight to Guyana now!"

"Why and where the fuck is Guyana? Don't mind that, YOU CANT LEAVE NOW YOU HAVE  TWO INTERVIEWS TOMORROW AND A SHOW ON FRIDAY!"

"One, don't fucking raise your voice at me, I'm not your child. Two, I will be back in time for the show and cancel the interviews. I hate those shit anyways, Finally, you have about 30 mins to book that flight before I reach the airport or else you're fired!"

I quickly packed my bag and left the hotel and headed to the airport. I'm coming babe. I will make this right.
