Just the two of us (Eminem fan fiction)

Chapter 20 On good terms

All i can think about the next day is that Marshall is gonna visit me tonight and I just can't wait, this day is gonna feel so fucking long. After school I go straight to my room and suddenly someone knocks on my door and it's Rachel.
"Can I come in?" she asks me. Not really..
"Would you take no for an answer?" I ask her irritated and she just walks in, so apparently not.
"I can't take this anger you got towards me anymore Amelia, please can we talk this out?" She asks me.
"There isn't really anything to talk about." I tell her.
"I'm so sorry if you felt like i let you down that day and yes James definitely went over the line, I told him that as well."
"Why didn't you do something?" I ask her and I can feel my anger rise inside of me again.
"To be honest.. I was kinda chocked because I've never seen James tick off like that, that's why I told you that you push people to a limit that they didn't even know they had." She tells me but it sounds like bullshit to me, chocked or not she should have done something. We're family and my mother always told me that family comes first so that means that Rachel should fucking divorce his ass for what he did to me.
"You should have done something Rachel." I say and my voice starts to shake as I speak again - "I was so fucking scared and are you even aware of the bruises he gave me?" It's kind of a stupid question because I never showed her but I just wanna know if she's aware of how hard he actually hit me.
"No I'm not." She says with a low voice and guilt is written all over her face, that's just what I need to see! I wanna see that she's actually sorry.
"You could clearly see where he had hit me with that belt." I tell her. She doesn't dare to look me in the eyes, it's obvious that she's ashamed. There's a moment of silence before I speak again. - "I don't think you know how difficult it is for me to live here, I mean i made some pretty good friends but I live in a home where I feel like a prisoner."
"What do you want me to do? You broke the rules Amelia." She says in an upset tone.
"The first two times weren't on purpose, I get why you punished me for the last one but just know that I would never had lied about where I was if it wasn't because all of your silly rules!" I say and I can't feel that i get really angry.
"Amelia you're only 16 you can't just hang out with 20 year old guys and drive around in their cars all night!" She raises her voice.
"I wanna be able to visit my friends and have friends over without it being a fucking problem!" I raise my voice as well.
"It has never been a problem Amelia!"
"Yes! Because I have fucking lived her for like almost 4 months now and I've been grounded 3 times!" I yell.
"Because you can't keep your word Amelia!" She yells.
"Yes I can but you don't give me a chance to show it again!" I yell.
"Because you wanna prove it when you're with Marshall and I can trust you with that kid." She says not yelling anymore.
"What is your problem with Marshall?" I ask her. I really don't understand, she was fine with him when I first moved here.
"He's a trouble kid, he always gets into fights and he comes from a troubled home." She explains.
"It's not his fault that his mom is like that." I say but Rachel doesn't respond. - "You should really give him a chance Rachel, he's my best friend." I say.
"Best friend? He's not more than a friend?" She asks me and I shake my head. "It's just funny because the day you were talking to him outside you were standing pretty close." She says. What do I tell her? I really don't know what to tell her because I know no matter what I say she won't believe me. "I'm not stupid Amelia." She says.
"I like him." I just say.
"You know he's with Kimberly, right?"
"They aren't anymore." I tell her.
"So he's with you now?" She asks and I really don't know what to tell her. - "Amelia?" She asks me when I haven't answered her question.
"We're not together." I say because that's not a lie.
"But you like each other?" She asks me. Is this some kind of interrogation?
"Yeah i guess." I answer her with a low voice.
"He's what? 20?"
"Yeah." I answer her not making eye contact but instead I just look at my feet.
"You're only 16 Amelia. he's way to old for you."
"My boyfriend from New York was in the same age and mom approved it because he was a nice guy." I tell her.
"Amelia I'm not your mom and it's different with Marshall, he's not a good kid." She says in a very serious tone.
"You don't know him Rachel, can't you just give him a chance?" I ask her and she sighs deeply. - "Please?" I ask her before she answers.
"Fine when you're not grounded anymore I'll give him a chance." She surrenders and a big smile comes across my lips.
"Thank you so much!" I say and hug her. This is the first time that I hug her.
"But.. I want you to be more open to me then and I want you to be honest with me." She demands.
"Sure." I say.
"Then it's a deal." She says. I couldn't be more happy right now and I can't wait to tell Marshall that she's gonna give him a chance. "And I already want you to be honest with me now." She says. Oh no..
"Okay?" I say waiting on her question.
"How long have the two of you been flirting around?" She asks me.
"About 3 weeks." I tell her honestly and she just nods.
"Okay." She says and gets up from the chair. "I gotta go out to make dinner, do you wanna help me?" She asks and I nod. I'm really trying to be her friend right now because I hope it will come to my benefit. I help her make dinner and it's actually okay because we just talk about all kinds of random things.

After dinner i text Marshall.

To Marshall (7:18pm)
Do you know when you're gonna come by tonight?

Marshall (7:57pm)
It's gonna be late baby so don't wait up

I'm going to bed at 11 and i drift off to sleep. I wake up with the feeling of someone laying down on my bed, I already know it's Marshall because I lot the window stay open for him. He crawls under my quilt and lays his hand on my stomach, I jump by the feeling of his ice cold hand.
"Holy shit!" I gasp and he just chuckles in my ear.
"Hi baby."' He laughs and kiss my neck, oh.. Now it's just impossible for me to be mad at him.
"Hi, what time is it?" I ask him.
"About 3am I think." He says and he keeps on kissing my neck, I can smell the alcohol on his breath but I don't care, I'm just happy he's here.
"Did you have fun?" I whisper in a low moan.
"Yeah." He says and I can feel that he's not searching for a conversation because he's to caught up working on my neck. "I can't stay for long." He then says.
"Why not?" I ask him.
"DeShaun is waiting for me." He says and turns me around to face him. I actually get a little sad because I really need him here, so why did he even come if he's apparently too busy? "You're so sexy." He says and kisses me. Really? If I'm that sexy then how come you're rejecting me when I want sex?
"Apparently not sexy enough." I say. He looks at me with frowned brows.
"Why would you say that?" He asks.
"Because you refuse to have sex with me."
"I don't refuse to have sex with you Amelia, I already told you why we can't have sex here in your room." He tells me and it's clearly that he's getting pissed about what I said.
"Sorry." I apologize because it wasn't my intention to piss him off and he just kisses me. We kiss for like 10 minutes before he leaves. I can't wait till' I'm not grounded anymore..
