I Like the Way it Hurts (Eminem Fanfic)

Chapter 37- What are friends for?

(Weeks later) 

Marshall's POV:

For the past several weeks there's kinda been a lot of things going on.My relationship with Sara still exists, but its not as strong as it used  to be.I admit that could be my fault I mean I have  been spending more time with Britney. I see Sara when she's sleeping or on days off which are quite rare.I really wouldn't be able to tell you what's she's been up to since we don't have time to have long conversations. I have been bad I'm not gonna lie. Real bad. Sara got a little pushy some time ago and asked if we could do something together. As if she doesn't understand how busy I am. So since then things between us haven't been as good. So Britney and I about a week and a half ago got a little touchy and began flirting, well we've made out a couple times. But before that she did ask me if Sara and I were still together.Sara hasn't really been in the public eye for quite a while, since she moved in with me so to everyone anything that's shes doing or where she is at is unknown. Nobody knows she lives with me except my friends and hers, family, and obviously my daughters. So I lied to her. It all happened fast I didn't even realize what I was doing.

Also I basically have no life right now. I get up early got to the set and get home quite late.Its been really hard for me to fall asleep so I've been taking quite a couple pills but nothing serious. Britney at work is the only thing close to a reality that I have at the moment.She's very easy to get along with and she's a beautiful girl.Not that Sara isn't, but you know it is what it is. And I know she'll probably never find out whats going. Britney and I are just having fun for the time being.

Sara's POV:

I don't know what to do with my relationship with Marshall. I love him.I really do, but he has been a little off lately. I have my doubts as to how invested he still is in this relationship. I want to trust him and believe that he'd be straight  forward with me if something was going on that could jeopardize what we have. Maybe he is just overwhelmed with juggling filming and recording the soundtrack which he decided to get on board on. Also his new album which I actually found out about by speaking with Dre on the phone instead of by the man himself.

I called Proof yesterday to ask him to come over because I needed to talk to someone. I asked him to please not tell Marshall.

As a matter of fact I hear a doorbell.

I go and get it knowing it's him.

"Hi" I say as I let him in.

"Hey whats up?"He asks as we give each other a friendly hug.

I opened my mouth to speak, but he beat me to it by saying,"Wait don't answer that. Marshall."

"Yea"

We sit down on the couches in the living room.

"Tell me."He says.

"I like to think that you're also my friend and therefore I can talk to you about him.Don't get me wrong I know you being his best friend and all you have loyalty towards him...I kinda feel neglected by him. I don't want to seem selfish or anything because I am aware he has a lot on his plate, but me, if I was in his situation you known I would do anything to spend time with him. I just think maybe he's kinda over this.Over us."

He sighed,"Sara I understand where you're coming from. Now I'm not making excuses for Marshall, but this is all new to him.The fame,work, being extremely busy, You guy's relationship.He's not used to it.He doesn't know how to deal with it.I'm sure when things whine down everything will be back like it used to be and you'll have 'Emy' back."He reassured me  with a smile.

"Okay.Thank you.I feel so isolated here in this house. It's beautiful but I don't know many people out here.I can't go out. I haven't been out. But I'm trying to make the best of it and focus on the music. Dre is actually coming soon closer to when Em is done shooting the movie so they can also focus on the album and mine as well."

We sat talking for about an hour because he was also supposed to go and see Marshall.

Talking to Proof did make me feel a little bit better.I'm just gonna trust that everything is going to be alright.
