Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Slim Shady Era

Chapter 52

I rolled over in my sleep as I heard my phone going off. I rubbed my eyes and lead on my stomach, stretching to the bedside table to get my phone before it woke Marshall up, Karlie was calling me at twenty-to one in the morning?!

"Hello?" I answered still half asleep, closing my eyes as my head hit the pillow,

"Hi, where are you?"

"I'm in bed... where else at this time"

"So you're not coming back to my aunts YET again?" She sighed,

"What? No, I never said I.." I could tell she'd had a few,

"Am I actually going to get to see you at all? I mean there was no point in you coming here with me"

"Karlie it's nearly 1 in the morning, where is this coming from?"

"It's just... it's pissing me off, if you wanted to blow me off to fuck someone for the whole time here then you should of flown out by yourself"

"What the fuck??" My whisper raised, Marshall pinned my hip down as I tried to get up,

"Where you goin'?" He mumbled,

"One minute" I stroked his back as I got up to have it out with Karlie,
"What is your problem!" I snapped down my phone as I stepped out onto the hallway,
"You know we're trying to sort things out?"

"You've stayed in this house not once since we arrived! How disrespectful of you when my aunt is putting you up! We came out together!"

"Look I didn't plan this! I didn't even want to come! You forced me here! I didn't beg for you to bring me, you begged me!"

"To get you away from your drug binge of a life! Not to come here and get played by the heartless fucking arsehole again! He doesn't love you he's using you!"

"Wow... wow! How can you say that? And you aren't my fucking saviour! You need to butt out of my life! Why're you so obsessed about what I'm doing and who I'm with? You're fucking crazy!"

"Oh I'm crazy?! That's rich! Who the fuck flys out to a man who used them and then goes running back to him? Because that's crazy! No no.. that's desperate!"

"Desperate? That's what you think I am?" I looked to his bedroom door that he'd just closed, I'd woke him up, shit,

"Yes! That's exactly what you are! But this isn't about you two for once! This is about you not showing any respect to my aunt whose putting you up yet you continue to use her home as some kind of pit stop!"

"Look I'm sick of fucking arguing with everyone lately!" I held my tongue,
"I'm sorry to your aunt, I'll make it up to her and apologise but you need to know how important this is for me"

"I know but at least have the decency to tell us when your out, she worries, it's dangerous out there, it's not like England. And I don't want to see my aunt upset over you who's out getting her leg over!"

"I'm sorry. I am. Look I have to go.."

"Do you think you could at least show your face tomorrow for a family meal?"

"Of course. Karlie I really have to go"

"Night Jodie"

I walked up to his door and opened it, he was in his ensuite with the light seeping into the darkness of the bedroom, I got back into bed and closed my eyes, just hearing him in another room made me miss him, I was just waiting to feel his body next to mine. He cleared his throat, coughed and then turned off the light, had he heard my conversation? I cringed at the thought if he had,
