It's been two days since bumping into Marshall at K-mart and Cynphony still wonders how his life has changed for him since becoming like a legendary icon to the public's eyes.

"Cynphony can you go to the party store and grab me a beer?" A voice boomed from upstairs ripping her away from her thoughts.

She sighed as should could feel her vein start to throb in her head. "Deangelo instead of drinking how about you go find yourself a job instead of mooching off of mama!" She shot back annoyed that she had been trying to search for a job for months and the only thing she's come up with is wiping tables at Taco Bell and working a desk job at a jewelry store.

"Your one to talk!" Deangelo shouted.

She couldn't argue with that one..

"What Kinda beer you want!?" She shouted giving in.

"Bud Light!"

She rolled her eyes as she grabbed the keys off the counter and went out to the car to fetch him his precious beer. She swears one day that man is gonna end up in the hospital with all that drinking he does.

It was late around 11:00 at night and everyone was either inside their homes trying to avoid the people that lurked through the streets of Detroit or they were looking to party and was headed out for the night not attending to come home til the next morning.

She finally arrived to the party store that was buzzing with drunken alcoholics and shady looking men.

She absolutely hated going to this store because everyone gave her flirtatious and sinister looks. She knew she was an alright looking girl but she was still short so guys often thought they could hit on her and she wouldn't do anything about it.

And sadly they were right.

She didn't have a single bit of toughness in her body..and considered running was the best thing to do in any situation.

Except this night was different.

She entered the party store and went to the aisle where the beer was and grabbed the 6 pack off the shelf approaching the counter. She saw a pack of M&M's and grabbed some for herself. She might as well get something out of this trip.

"That's all?" The menacing looking woman spoke sounding annoyed.

"Yeah."

"That'll be 7.99" She announced popping a few potato chips in her mouth waiting for me to hand her the cash.

"Okay." She reached for her money and handed it to the lady.

She grabbed her bag of goods and exited the store ready to give her brother another talk about how he's ruining his liver and kidneys.

Until someone grabbed her shoulder and spun her around to face them.

"Well hey there pretty lady." A man smirked his breath smelling of vodka and something else illegal she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Uh..hi?" She nervously spoke trying to get her wrist back but to no avail.

This dude was strong.

"What's a cutie like you doing out here at this time of night?" He questioned.

"I really don't think that's none of your business." She spoke starting to get irritated.

He obviously didn't like that answer because he snatched her bag right out of her hands and started prowling through it.

"Ooh, Beer? Didn't think someone as cute as you would even drink this shit." He laughed.

"I don't..it's my brothers." Her voice a tad shaky realizing that absolutely no one was out there except for them.

"Where he at now?" He asked looking around his own self.

"Not here." 

Damn probably should've lied..

A creepy kinda smile formed on his lips as he reached in the bag again this time pulling out the bag of M&M's.

"M&M's are for nerds.." He spat throwing them on the ground.

"Look..I don't have any money so i'll just be going..you can keep the beer though!" She tried reasoning as she picked up the M&M's and started to walk away until he grabbed her a second time.

"Hold up lil lady." He said whispering in her ear.

She shivered at how close this man was..

"Let me go asshole!" She tried shoving him off of her but his grip was ridiculous.

"Hey, keep still! Didn't yo mama tell you not to be rude to folks?" He yelled.

"Didn't yo mama tell you not to harass innocent women?" She bit back wanting this whole situation to just disappear.

A growl escaped his lips as his hand connected to her face. "Filthy B*tch." He spat.

She fell back landing on the ground holding on to her throbbing face. She felt tears starting to form but she knew she couldn't break down now or else..

A car suddenly pulled up and someone jumped out headed straight for their direction.

"Hey what hell's going on out here?" A voice shouted.

"Nothing." The man said taking a few steps back.

"That don't look like nothing." He said motioning to the girl on the ground.

"Whatever, she yo girl or sumthin?" The man asked.

I looked up to the man who had saved me from this bad situation and I couldn't believe that it was Marshall.

What was he doing in the hood of Detroit?

Recognition met his eyes as they both just kinda stared at each other in shock.

"Yea." He answered helping her off the ground.

 "Whatever white boy." The man spat noticing the giant security guard for Marshall.

He took off down the street as she tried to control her emotions and sadly she was doing a awful job.

"Hey Cynphony you okay?" He asked walking the shaking girl to her car.

"I'm fine..Marshall what are you doing out here?" She wondered.

"I had a concert tonight in the D and it just ended so I was heading home until I just so happened to look over and see you two outside this liquor store." He explained.

"Yo Marshall what's going on?" A man shouted from the car.

"Nothing Denaun!" Marshall replied.

"I'm fine..i'm going home now." She said starting the car.

"You sure you okay to drive?" He asked sounding worried.

"Yeah, uh thanks.."

"Wait." He reached in his pocket and scribbled something down and handed it to her.

"What's this?" She asked not being able to read it since it was dark.

"My number, call me later okay?" He said sounding serious.

"Alright.." She put the number in her coat pocket and drove off angry and scared wanting nothing more than to go to bed and forget this ever happened.
