Every Rose Needs The Rain Sometime

On the low

(mayte in description)

I was back home and I wanted to keep it on the low for a minute I went to the doctor for my ankle and it turned out thankfully it wasn't broken fully but it sure as hell felt like it but it was a really REALLY bad sprain with a small fracture and the doc said it would take a few weeks to heal so it was braced up I was sitting in the little coffee shop I go to where I play from time to time just relaxing me time hopefully Aidan wasn't gonna be here after last night or the whole damn week it was needed i could just be alone my phone had been blowing up from Carmen, to Aidan, to Susan and the other girls so on about where I was this morning but I just told them I had to leave a bit early for family reasons. I was thrown off by a bit of a surprise when I felt a hand on my shoulder I turned to see Marcus "Hey you" he said reaching down and hugging me he went to sit across from me and we just smiled at each other "So please don't tell me the crutches are for you!" I took a deep sigh "yeahhhh...I slipped off the curb and I got a small fracture but I should be ok within a week or two" "Wonder what Prince is gonna say.." "He's not gonna say anything because I'm not coming back to the tour" I said sitting back taking a sip of my coffee "I heard what happened last night" "you did?" "Yeah..why do you let him do this to you..let him run yo off and now look your injured" "I'll be ok" "Ok what about your heart" "Prince cares he's just an asshole but I don't wanna talk about him right now" "Ok wellll let's talk about umm this place do you come here often" "Yeah I uh perform from time to time." "Like dance?" "No I can sing,play guitar and piano" "What?!?!? I had no idea how come you never said anything" I shrugged "I mean nobody ever asked or I never thought of bringing it up people just assume im some stripper average dancer" I said looking down "Ok do not let that bitch Mayte get in your head because as far as I know she can barely dance and your amazing dancer it's like your the only one" "Thanks Marucus so tell me about you and when you started drums" "Well I was 8 and I was in piano lessons at first I hated it so I told my dad I wanted to try the drums he finally let me and what can I say i was great" I nodded my head "Rose I would love to hear your music sometime maybe work on some stuff together you know would that be ok?" "Yes that would be great!" "ONLY if you come back on tour" I took a deep breath "Ill give it thought" I didn't really wanna leave just wanted to see how much prince actually gave a fuck I guess...the rest of the night Marcus and I spent talking away and relaxing in the park watching the stars he was a genuine person.

Over the next few days Marcus and I had jam sessions and it felt really good playing with him and showing off my voice we also just spent time hanging out and talking I know I know I should call Carmen but talking to Marcus felt like I had nobody judging me or telling me what to do. "I wanted to bring you something" I put my guitar aside and sat next to him "really what?" "close your eyes." oh goodness I felt something around my neck what is it with everybody and getting me these necklaces I looked down at the pretty necklace in the shape of a music note "thank you Marcus" I hugged him gosh please don't be falling for me as cool as he was and I liked being around him I was using him to fill the void of Prince. "Well i gotta get home now I told my mom I would go see her" "yeah yeah thanks for stopping by i'll see you tomorrow" I walked him to the door limping we hugged and he left out. I laid on my couch watching funny movies interrupting my laughter was a knock on my door assuming Marcus maybe left something I walked to the door opening and to my surprise stood prince ..I was actually so happy to see him."what are you doing here.." I asked trying to hide my urge to just kiss him all over "I missed you we need to talk" his deep voice said and I just ran into his arms not letting go
