Pain and Fame (Book 2)

Chapter 28 - Christmas Eve

(Wednesday, December, 24th, 2011)

Today's Christmas Eve, and I'm hiding out in one of the guest rooms wrapping gifts. I had my headphones on my head playing music on shuffle, in my own little zone. Marshall, and I finally talked a couple days ago, I finally let it all out to him, everything I thought I couldn't say to him, I told him. Marshall understood me, and I guess I can say it brought us closer again.

I finished wrapping up the gifts, and stacked them on top of each other neatly then there was a quiet knock at the door. I slipped my headphones off my head, and let them rest on my neck.

"Come in" I said, and picked up the gifts from the floor placing them in the closet.

"Hey listen, Imma go pick up the girls, wanna come?" Marshall asked.

"Yeah, just give me a minute" I said, and walked out the guest bedroom with Marshall behind me, then walked into our bedroom.

I slipped on my slippers that stayed at the end of the bed, and pulled over one of Marshall's hoodies before slipping my phone into my pocket.

"Ready?" Marshall asked, I nodded my head, and we walked out of the bedroom, then downstairs.

As we were in the car Marshall, and I goofed around. We pointed at random things, and made fun of them. It may have not been the right thing to do, but just hearing his laugh made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Marshall can we go to McDonald's" I said, and pointed.

"There's food at home" Marshall said, and I rolled my eyes.

"Stop being like my mom, and go to the McDonald's" I said, and he pulled into the McDonald's drive-thru.

"What do you want?" He sighed as he turned towards me.

"Don't give me that attitude" I chuckled. "I want a kids meal with nuggets" I said.

"Are you serious?" Marshall said while taking a glance at me.

"Yes, and I want a toy!" I smiled.

"You are something else" Marshall said, and ordered my food.

Once we got inside the house the kids ran upstairs to change into something comfortable. I plopped myself down on the couch, kicked my feet up on the coffee table, and started playing with the little toy I got. Marshall came and sat next to me, wrapping one arm around my waist pulling me closer to him, then turned on the tv putting on a movie with his other hand.

"Are you seriously playing with that toy? How old are you?" Marshall asked me.

"Five" I chuckled.

"Now you're making me seem like a pedophile" Marshall said, and I put the toy down giving him a kiss.

"Now you're really making me seem like pedophile" Marshall chuckled, and I hit his chest playfully.

The kids came running down the stairs one by one, and once they all came down we played their favorite Christmas movie. My phone rang multiple times during the movie so I quickly excused myself, and ran upstairs to the bedroom to answer the phone.

"Hello?" I said into the phone without looking at the contact.

"Another DWI Maegan!?" My mom angrily said into the phone. 

"Mom.." I said quietly.

"Mom nothing, Maegan. This is too much for me. One day I'm going to get a phone call saying that my daughter is dead, and there is gonna be nothing I can do about it because you can't stop!" My mom yelled.

My mom rarely yelled or yells at me, mainly because of how I grew up, so when she does yell at me it's serious.

"It was a one time thing" I said angrily.

"A one time thing is not almost dying from alcohol poisoning twice, and having four DWI's under your name now! You're turning out just like your dad!" She yelled, and the last part really hurt.

"If your gonna fucking be like this don't bother showing up tomorrow, I'm anything else, but my dad, and you know that!" I yelled, and hung up the phone, throwing it on the bed.

Tears streamed down my face as I paced around the room, I grabbed the closes thing to me which was a glass vase, and threw it at the wall, making the glass shattered everywhere. I stormed into the bathroom, slamming the door behind me, and making sure I locked the door.

"Maegan?" Marshall said, and I remained quiet while looking at myself in the mirror. The door handle shook, and I still ignored it.

"Maegan open the door" Marshall said, and the door handle shook even more. "Maegan! Open the damn door before I kick it down!" Marshall yelled, and I unlocked the door, yanking it open.

"What happened?" Marshall's asked, and his face changed to a more concerned look.

"My mom" I broke down crying, and he held me in his arms.

"What happened with your mom?" He asked.

"She said I turned out just like my dad" I cried on him.

What a great Christmas Eve.
