Song(s) that inspired this Chapter:

MGK - "See My Tears"

MARILYN

Colson and I just entered the charity party, I couldn't help but feel like I didn't belong, he seemed to know everyone. I was in awe at all the basketball players and their wives, they were all so gorgeous. I felt as though I was a sore thumb sticking out, but I was enjoying myself nonetheless.

"MJ right there," Colson said pointing to the table that had cards saying 'Marilyn Jane Rose, MGK'

"Who even invited us here again?" I asked as I looked down at the nameplates, my full name was printed which I found weird, I shrugged it off and we sat down and waited for the host to start.

A couple of minutes past and a familiar mixed Italian lady walked on the stage, my body began to involuntarily shake. I was livid, I cannot believe what the fuck was going on.

"Hello I'm Maria Rose" My eyes widened and I looked at Colson who had the exact same look on his face 'That's my fucking mom' I mouthed to him he nodded and we looked back up.

"So we had to invite my very own daughter... Marilyn Jane Rose! Come up here sweety." What the actual fuck, my mouth was agape and I was frozen in my spot. Colson tapped me and signaled for me to go, and I did, my body on auto-pilot. All eyes were on me as I walked on the stage, she went for a hug so I hugged her, hard. She moved aside and I stood in front of the mic, I really can't believe this shit. What was I supposed to say? "hello, my name's MJ, I hate this fucking bitch, I know she's hosting a charity event, but believe me, she's an evil cunt"? that's not appropriate so I settled for a simple introduction,

"Hello Cleveland, As you know this is my wonderful mother Maria..." I gritted through my teeth, completely forcing happiness,  "I really don't know what to say, but have a nice night dance, have fun and donate..." I spoke with my jaw clenched, it was the most awkward thing I've ever taken part in. I looked at Colson, who through a thumbs up and a cheesy smile, I couldn't help but relax at his gesture,

"Thanks for the words MJ" I nodded walking of the stage to my table, I was fully prepared to leave this shitty event. Of course, she was the event coordinator, she fucking plans everything in Cleveland, what a bitch.

"MJ, that was awkward as fuck.." he spoke as a plopped down in my seat forcefully, I nodded and looked around.

"I know," I said as the waiter brought us some drinks, "I didn't know my mom was gonna be here,  did you?" he shook his head taking a sip of his water, he promised not to drink alcohol tonight, but at this moment I wouldn't blame him if he wanted something stronger.

"She's so goddamn fake Colson, she kicked me out when I was" I stopped, didn't want to even speak it "I hope I never have to see her again" He took another sip of his water,

"This shows you how fake family can be.." I nodded in agreement,

"Speaking of family Are we picking up Casie? I miss her so much" I spoke truthfully, she was like a light in my life, and I loved her so much already, she was always something to look forward to while we were back in the land.

"Yeah, we can pick her up tomorrow afternoon, If you like?"

"Oh my gosh, she's coming for Christmas... You know, I remember when you first had her, She was such a beautiful child I was only 16 at the time and I remember holding her in my arms rocking her to sleep, she was like a little angel" I was starting to tear up now, just thinking about my life before it went to shit always got me emotional.

"I love her so much and I'm happy to say that I'm more than one of those people that came and went. I'm gonna be here for you guys for a long time," I laughed and Colson gave me a tissue, he stood up and gave me a hug,
