Stronger Than I Was (Eminem Story)

The Addict

Rocky's POV

"MOMMY!" My boys yelled. Micah was now five and Kristen was two turning three next month. Sean walked with them to us and then we chuckled.

There was a change of plan, Sean flew my boys out here and I left Hailie, Alaina, and Whitney at home so the boys could be happy to see them.

"Hey Momma." Sean said and I smiled. I hugged him tightly and then him and Norman started talking.

"How would you feel if I told you that I was giving you guys a sister or brother?"

"That would be so awesome." Micah said and I smiled. Kristen smiled at me and I picked them both up. Norman looked at me and kissed the boys cheeks.

"How was the flight?" He asked them grabbing a piece of candy from the bag Sean had.

"It was fun, Uncle Sean brought us big bags of candy."

"Where are these bags?"

"In a plastic bag in our backpacks." Micah said and I walked them to the truck.

"I'm sleeping in the back of the truck in the trunk." Sean said and I nodded. Norman took Micah and placed him in the booster seat as I did the same with Kristen.

The thing about Norman is, he's thirty-six-years-old and he drives without a license. But he won't do that out here because he knows better. His ID is a ID. So I'm driving I assume.

I climb into the truck and turn out of the parking lot and head home.

Home

The boys ran inside and Hailie and Alaina bum rushed them.

Micah and Kristen were loving it.

I sat down with Sean and Norman near the fireplace and smiled.

"I missed you Sean." I said and he smiled.

"I had to see you guys as soon as possible, I mean it's not everyday Reedus gets a hot chick, let alone a hot chick with millions who can support herself." Sean said and I laughed.

"Speaking of Reedus, can you make me a sandwich?" I asked him and he nodded and then listened to me and Sean's conversation.

"Hey, go get her sandwich Fuckface!" Sean said and Norman stood up and I laughed.

"Where's Mingus?"

"His mom is flying him out here from New York and then she's going home."

"How are you and Reedus doing the long distance thing."

"Norman's staying with me for a month and then we are going to see each other every other week. I'll drive to New York and he'll drive here."

"So if you guys get married like what are you doing?"

"We always said we'd travel around the states before we got married to see which state we loved and then we'd move there. Um, my boys are tired off moving and they are five and almost three so I'll give them a break before my little Pumpkin gets here."

"You said your ex-husband has a drug problem?"

"Yeah, I'm also here so if the girls need me then I'm here. Until he gets sober and doesn't need me or them anymore then I'll stay here for a bit just to help." Norman came back into the room with a sandwich and some fruit.

"Thanks baby." I said and he sat back down in my lap.

"Sean?" Norman asked. Sean looked over and Norman passed him a water bottle. A couple of minutes later the kids came and sat down.

"When can we meet Mingus?" Hailie asked and Norman ran so quick out that door with Sean it was ridiculous.

"Norman has to go get Mingus." I said and they snuggled up next to me. Micah sat in my lap and Kristen sat on the couch. I snuggled up with the girls and they smiled.

"Oh my god, tomorrow's Christmas. Y'all wanna help set up the tree?"

"Yeah." Hailie said so I grabbed my plug in tree and we put decorations on it. The girls went to there freshly decorated rooms and Whitney stayed with me and the boys until Norman got home with Sean and Mingus.

We got Mingus and my boys in bed and then we brought all the presents in.

I laid down with Norman and Sean on the couch and we fell asleep.

Marshall's POV

I swallowed and looked at the pills. The place I'm at has sprung from the lost of love. I feel like Gatsby, she's right there. But these pills, I'll use them till I've had enough.

"You go down on my broken and numb insides." I said looking at the bottle and I heard it speak to me.

"Follow me, follow me. Come with me." My heart pumped with excitement.

"Where are we going?" I asked and it turned into a beautiful woman.

"Where do you wanna go?"

"Anywhere, I don't want to feel this way." This feeling has taken over and I'm feeling colder on the inside. This is my fix and I'm addicted. Yeah I'm an addict but I'm not telling Rocky that. She'd move again in a heartbeat.

"I don't wanna feel alone again." I said and the woman smiled.

"Trust me you won't after this trip."
