Marshall POV
2pm

"It's not the same without her", I said. "I know em you've said that like a hundred times already", Future said. "Well Imma keep saying it until she comes back and why are you calling me em now", I said.

"First of all em you know Marshall starts with an M so em. Second of all you have a whole baby to be taking care of right now. Third we dont know if she's coming back", He said. "Shut up", I said. He shrugged and backed up. "Damn my bad", he said.

We continued walking towards my baby mommas house. I needed to drop some money off for Kim and the baby. It wasn't even my money, future had been giving me money for Hailie since I got fired.

"Sooo have you looked into any jobs?", future said. I shook my head no. "I know I should, Ive been using your money and I'm sorry. I owe you big time", I said. Future laughed. "Oh yes you do, when you become famous you best bring me along with you", he said.

I laughed. "I'm not gonna become famous", I said. "You never know", he said. I shrugged. "Hey uh, speaking about becoming famous.. I got a new track just about ready to drop," I said. Future looked at me with his eyebrow raised.

"For sure for sure?",He asked. I nodded yes and handed him a tape. "It's called rock bottom, listen to it while I go take care of business," I said.

We finally made it to the front door of Kim's apartment. I took a deep breath. "Wait out there Ill be quick", I told Future. He nodded and walked away. I knocked on the door.

No response. I waited then knocked again. No response. I tried opening the door and luckily, it was open. I opened the door and walked towards the baby's room. "Hello?", I said. I started to hear baby music playing in the distance.

I walked by the kitchen and into the hallway. I passed by Kim's room and saw her door was creaked open. I peeked in.

"Wha- Who the f*ck is this", I said. Kim quickly got off and covered herself under the covers. I had just caught her sleeping with another man. "MARSHALL GET OUT", she yelled. I pounded on the door. "SO YOUR CHEATING ON ME NOW?", I yelled.

I was so angry. "We aren't even a thing", she said. "We have a f*cking baby, what do you mean", I said. The guy got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She laughed. "Marshall that doesn't mean nothing. You can have a baby with someone but that doesn't mean were together. You never took me back and I never took you back, besides dont you have some new little girlfriend", she said.

"You know what I don't even care, here's the money", I said as I threw it to her. I turned around and shut the door. I walked to the next room to find Hailie crying. My yelling must've scared her.

I picked her up and cradled her. "Hi baby", I said as I looked at her beautiful eyes. She stopped crying and looked up at me. "I'm your daddy and I love you so much", I told her. She then stretched her little arms out and yawned. I set her back down and closed the door. I walked down the hallway towards the door.

Kims boyfriend was there. "Hey, I'm sorry about that I didnt know", he said. "It's cool, there's nothing between us", I said. I walked out to greet Future again.

He was bumping his head and listening to a tape. I came up to him. "What you listening too", I said. "Oh just this fire a** track by the one and only Marshall B rabbit or should I say Marshall Mathers", he said. I laughed.

"So what do you think?", I asked. "I think you should add it to the slim shady ep", he said. I laughed. "That was just a joke. Who would take someone by the name of slim shady serious", I said.

"You'd be surprised by the names people give themselves," future replied. I nodded.

"You hungry? I could go for a burrito right now," I said. "Yeah, with what money?" Future laughed. "I got some stuff back at the house come on, my treat," I said.

As we walked back, I noticed a man standing outside my door. He looked very professional in a suit and everything. "Sh*t did I forget to pay rent or something? This can't be good," I told Future. "What should we do?" He asked. I began to run. "Come on let's go to The Shelter instead," I said.

I wondered who that man was. As we got to The Shelter all I could think about was Robyn. I remember seeing her in the mornings walk to work or seeing her at the door taking tickets. I couldn't believe she was gone.

"What's wrong," Future asked? I shrugged. "I don't know, I'm just feeling down," I replied. Future opened the doors and we sat in a booth.

"You feel like your at rock bottom?," he asked. "Yeah that's how I wrote that song I showed you," I replied. He took the tape out from his jacket and started to play it again. "It's a fire ass song," he said. I nodded.

"You think this is the one I should release and start charging for?," I asked. He laughed. "Hell yeah! Ive been telling you to charge for that mixtape you gave me but you insisted I pass them around for free," he replied. I shrugged.

We spent a few hours there just talking and messing around with my music. I even wrote another song, just wasn't sure what to call it yet.

"That guy is probably gone by now huh?" I asked Future. He shrugged. "Well I hope so, Imma start heading back home now," I said. "Okay, see you later," he said.

I got up and walked out to the sunset. It was about to be six. As I walked I admired the colors of the sky and wondered what time it was for Robyn. It's funny to think we're looking at the same sky but at different times.

As I entered the trailer park, I noticed the guy was gone. I sighed of relief. I didn't know what or who he was and I didn't really wanna find out either.

I walked up my steps and noticed a piece of paper sticking out of the door. A chill went though me, there is no way I could be being evicted. I have no job and no where else to go. I unfolded the paper only to be even more shocked.

'Marshall Mathers please call (***)***-**** ASAP' is all the note said. It was on nice fancy paper too. This has to be some type of set up or something, I thought to myself. I debated if I should throw it away but I ended up saving it to show Future tomorrow.

In an odd way, I had a good feeling about the note. Almost like something life changing was coming.
