Cliché, Complicated and Confusing.

Emily's POV

"He was not too happy with the way I asked questions. I don't know how he will cope in court." Marshall tells me sitting across me at the restaurant. I take my fork out of my mouth.

"But do you think she will get custody?"?

"If not Romeo can fight for custody of the 3 other kids but I doubt it after he did it foe the three that are here now."

"Poor guy. Wonder how Freya is handling all this."

"She seemed fine. But you know she asked Spencer to change Masons last name to Freddie's."

"No way."

"Yeah. I don't think he told Josh yet."

"No, clearly not." I say putting my fork down. "That would be a hurricane."

"I can imagine." Marshall laughs. He looks at his phone and clears his throat. "My old roommates are coming this weekend."

"Thats nice." I say not too bothered. "I was thinking about not telling Freya maybe. That would stir shit up for her and Romeo." He says moving back. "Malcolm keeps calling me." He says putting his phone down. I knew better than to tell him to pick up. He sighs and answers the phone.

"Hello." He says looking at his plate. "Okay." He says telling him what restaurant we ate before hanging up

"He wants me to meet my 'sister'." Marshall shrugs. "I'm so curious though." I say smiling. "You have two sisters."

"I do not know if I should base my opinion off of Malcolm or not."

"Maybe find out for yourself how she is." I say and he nods. "This is annoying. I'm not feeling this."

"Cheer up." I smile leaning forward to him. He meets my lips and I chuckle. "I left lipstick on your lips." I say and he wipes the dark berry coloured stain off his lips.

"Is that Nicole?" I ask Marshall seeing her walk in after Malcolm.

"But she.." He starts

"She lied." I say raising my eyebrows. What the hell. I scoot over and Marshall sits next to me in the booth we sat in. "Wait hold on." Marshall says frowning. I was so confused.

"Good evening." Malcolm says and I look at him. "You look lovely Emily." He says sitting down. Nicole sits down and avoids eye contact.

"You told me you were not..." Marshall starts off. Nicole looks at him and clears her throat. "Dad told me not to tell you just yet, so I had to lie."

"Does Noah know?" I ask annoyed she lied.

"No." She says running her fingers through her hair. "Dad? You just met him." Marshall says. "You're calling him dad?"

"Its not his fault I got adopted. He did not even know I excisted." She says. "But, I found him." She smiles.

"Is that what he told you?" Marshall asks. He chuckles out of frustration. I put my hand on Marshalls knee under the table. He needed to calm down.

"So all this time you knew I was your brother?"

"No I moved to LA to find my biological parents and for my own career. Then I just met Noah randomly. I knew Malcolm was my dad, I knew he had a label and everything. So one day I just walked into his office and told him."

"So who is your mom?" I ask. She shrugs and looks at Malcolm. After I found him I don't think I really want to find her anymore. She abonded me and didn't even tell him."

"I'm sorry I find it ironic that r painted himself to be the hero." Marshall says and I chew the inside of my cheek. "You do know right, he cheated on my mother and you were the result." I tell her. "Why are you so angry." She asks clearly unaware of what was happening. "For some idiotic reason I feel sorry that you are associated with him."
