        "Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away."

Marshall's P.O.V

I watched Gardina as she began acting really strange all of a sudden, she appeared disoriented and looked even more out of it than usual.

What did he give her?

I made sure to quietly creep through the window in hopes that Melvin wouldn't spot me.

"Marshall!" A voice whispered from outside.

I turned to see Lanelle, "We're gonna go around back, we got you if anything goes down." Lanelle said in a hushed tone.

"Got it." I whispered continuing to climb through the window, and jumping over quickly finding myself a hiding spot behind some shelves for I wouldn't be seen.


"Uhgg I'm too old for this

"Uhgg I'm too old for this." I groaned straightening myself out while peering through some shelves to see if I could find an opening.

I could hear them talking to her right now and I made sure i leaned in real close so I could understand what they were saying.

  "What do you want out of him from that, do you want his anger, his sympathy, his apology?" He asked standing up and walking face to face with me.  

  "No.."  I watched her shake her head as a tear escaped her left eye.

  "I want his heart."  I heard her clear as day as my eyes widened.

Who was she talking about?

Lanelle?

Me- No there was no way she had any type of feelings for me, especially after everything I've kept from her. I knew I was nothing but a problem to her, and when I finally do manage to get her out of this place I planned too take her to a real rehab facility, maybe she would do better if she was away from me?

It honestly pained me to think like that, and it hurt me even worse knowing I was letting Proof down, but I can't stand by and make Dina's life hell just because I feel some type of way about her, So I was gonna treat her exactly for what she is, my Baby's mama and nothing more. Because honestly neither of us needed anything more than that at the moment anyway.

Right?

"You can tell yourself that Marshall, but I know the real you."

Shady.
