Song(s) that inspired this Chapter:

MGK ft. Dub-O - "Cleveland"

COLSON

"Worst person you've fucked" Slim asked adjusting his hat. I shrugged sheepishly, we always ask dumb questions when we sit down and talk it was a way to get to know each other more than we already do.

"Selena from L.A."I forced out, shit I could've declined the question, no I feel bad.

"Selena Pena?" Slim inquired, his eyebrow raised slightly in a doubting manner, I shook my head,

"Man, I wish. It was just some girl that was horrible, it felt like she was trying to take my dick off .." I spoke almost disgusted, "who's yours?"

"Umm... Brittney Hill that bitch was loose as fuck and she tried to put a finger in my ass.." I chuckled, "okay best person?"

"Marilyn."

"Really Why?"

"When you have a connection with someone, it just makes everything more real." Slim sucked his teeth as if he knew my answer already. He rolled his eyes,

"For real?"

"Yes" I confirmed, sending MJ a wink, she rolled her eyes from the bunk where she was propped up on one elbow listening to our conversation and occasionally giving conversation input.

"I'm starving, Who wants something to eat? Cause Now that we're at a stop, I'm going out"

MARILYN

After almost 4 hours of driving with the boys, who were annoying the living shit out of me we finally got to their house in Cleveland. The boys were like a gang of children, I watched them bring their luggage in the home and joke around about missing Cleveland pussy. I just rolled my eyes and followed behind.

"Wanna visit your Mom while the boys put your shit in your room?" Colson asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Nah I'm good, thanks for offering though," I spoke not even attempting to hide the disgust in my tone.

"Why not?" He asked genuinely,

"They hate you... And I never told you why I left Cleveland did I?"

"No get to explaining, I thought you were cool still"

"Well uhh.. They, uh, kicked me out." I half lied, they did kick me out but for reasons unknown to Colson.

"Yeah, I figured that it's okay I'm not gonna force you into anything" Colson spoke, "but we should go by the restaurant by your old house, I need some chicken" I let out a chuckle and nodded in agreement. After telling the boys we were heading out to the restaurant to get dinner they all agreed and told us what they wanted, we ordered before we left.

Once we arrived I got out of the car and went into the restaurant to get the food, Colson still had half a blunt to finish so he waited outside his car.

COLSON

As I inhaled smoke from the blunt I caught sight of a woman who I realized was Marilyn's mother. I could recognize her anywhere, She looked just like MJ, the only real differences were their skin tone, Marilyn's mother was slightly lighter than her, and their hair. MJ's hair is more curly, whereas her mother is almost pin-straight.  I stared at her in disbelief, what a coincidence this was, I exhaled the smoke along with a cough before throwing the blunt roach on the ground and stomping it out.

"Mrs. Rose," I called out, she looked back at me with a raised eyebrow before pulling her sunglasses off her face, just as boujee as I remember.

"Do I know you?" She asked, frown on her face and clutching her Dolce & Gabbana purse.

"Yeah, I used to go out with Marilyn" I explained, her snark expression dropped once she heard her daughter's name.

"Oh, Colson right? I recognize you, you're the one who got her pregnant, how is my grandchild?" she scoffed, my eyes widened, my voice got stuck in my throat.

What the fuck?

MARILYN

After getting the massive amount of food I thanked the pretty blonde at the counter and began my way out of the retro restaurant. As I walked towards the exit and spotted Colson outside of his car talking to a woman, I rolled my eyes, I could only see the back of her but she looked too boujee for this neighborhood. She must live where my mom does. I'd only been gone for 5 minutes and he already found someone to talk to, which was totally like him. I was not surprised.

I stepped outside and recognized the woman immediately when she tilted her head, it was my mother. My breath hitched in my throat and I felt like I was going to die at that moment. It'd been so long and she still had an effect on me, all of a sudden I was anxious, it felt like the end of the world. When he looked up at me with pain in his eyes I knew, he knew.

"Colson, let's go," I spoke, I brushed past my mother ignoring her completely, and got in the car quickly, she looked at me and with shock on her face, Colson got in after me, he was bewildered and I could tell, he put the car in drive and drove off, for the first 5 minutes he didn't even look at me.

"What happened to the kid?" He finally spoke, I ignored him, "I said what fucking happened?" He yelled hitting the steering wheel, I flinched at the authority behind his tone and cowered in my seat feeling small.

"I had a miscarriage" I spoke lowly, ashamed, it was the lowest moment in my life and now the memories were all coming back to me.

"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?" he spoke helplessly, his grip tightening around the wheel as he glanced at me. We locked eyes and I quickly reverted mines back to the window.

"Because you just started out with your career and you just had Casie I didn't want to intrude and make things more difficult than they already were" I spoke slightly above a whisper.

"You could have just told me," he said, parking in the driveway which I hadn't even realized we were in. "Why didn't you just tell me" his voice cracked,

"I'm sorry okay. I just thought if I disappeared your life would have been better... And I was right, two children? That would've been selfish of me, I was young and we should've been more careful." I spoke, one tear sliding down my cheek. I got out of the car still carrying the food.

Dub, Dre, and who I assumed was Rook were in the living room smoking, and drinking, Slim looked up for a split second and noticed my red puffy eyes before getting up. I dropped the food on the counter and ran up the stairs.

"You okay?" he asked walking up the stairs behind me into the guest room,

"Yeah, um, we just got into a fight, nothing serious" I reassured him, he just nodded and gave me a hug,

"I'm sure once we get back on tour you guys will make up." I just nodded, I hope.

"Thanks, Slim," I said wiping my tears away.
