Perfect Chaos || An Eminem Fanfiction

Chapter 21. Superman

Ella arrived at the club that Sara had arranged to meet her at, smoothing down her dress she walked past the bouncer and onto the floor, looking around for Sara.

"Up here!" Sara yelled from the top balcony, she was in a gold sparkly dress you couldn't miss her.

Confused as to why they were up there, Ella made her way over to the stairs, greeting the security, who let her straight through, nodding at her as she walked past.

She spotted Sara and made her way over, as she came closer to the booth she made out more familiar faces.

"Deshaun??" Ella said with a wide smile.

"Hey girl, ain't your a sight for sore eyes" Proof grinned standing up and pulling her into a hug.

One other thing she missed about Marshall was D12, her extended family.

As she pulled away from the hug, and finished greeting the other members her eyes landed on a set of blue.

"Marsh" She smiled "Good to see you again"

"Hey Ella, you're looking great"

She blushed and smiled.

"Sorry to bust up girls night, but I figured you girls would have more fun up here, like old times" Proof grinned, shoving a glass in her hand "Don't worry, it's lemonade" he said and winked, gesturing for her to take a seat, not surprisingly, it was next to Marshall.

"Deshaun ran into me at the bar" Sara said grinning "Him and Marshall invited us to join them, my sides hurt from laughing so much already"

"Man we been missing your fine asses" Bizarre laughed "Ain't met another set of girls like you guys, ain't none of them got a damn sense of humour"

"Well you guys were blessed when you met us"

"Marshall bestowed that blessing by pulling you two back stage, that was the start of a beautiful thing" Denaun chuckled then realised what he said.

"It's okay" Ella smiled and looked at Marshall who was still staring at her with intensity "I still hold those memories very close to my heart, I missed you all so much"

"Oh shucks Ella" Bizarre laughed and turned to Marshall "She still got that heart of gold"

"I know" Marshall smirked "Still that dope ass chick we first met years ago"

"You know" Proof said having a sip out of his glass "You two sitting together like that, it ain't even like, you know, anything's changed, your body language and the whole atmosphere is the same energy"

"He on his spiritual shit" Marshall laughed, he knew exactly what Proof was doing and why he was doing it "Sit you high ass down"

"We also heard you're sober, congratulations" Kuniva smiled "Two years away for this fucker did you good"

Proof jabbed him in the ribs "My bad"

Marshall chuckled and shook his head at his friend, they had all been bedside themselves when thy found out he went to visit her.

As Ella moved she accidentally brushed Marshall's arm, sending shockwaves through his body, it was both a sharp and electrical, zapping up his spine, almost like it was sending his body into a state of bliss.

He stared at her as the euphoria spread, she had her head thrown back in laughter at something Proof has said, it sucked the breath right out of him.

A few hours later the girls excused themselves to go to the bathroom, it was still a weird feeling being sober while everyone around her drank, sometime she got the urge to join in but after all the trauma of drugs that plagued her past she was determined to not go back there.

Tonight also reminded her how at ease she was with Marshall, even though they were purely going to be friends from then on she just couldn't help but enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia of dating him for almost 4 years.

"You ok?" Sara said smiling at Ella, who nodded with a grin, leaning into check herself in the mirror.

"I love seeing you like this" Sara continued.

"Like what?"

"You with him again"

Ella smiled shyly at her best friend "We're only going to be friends"

"I don't care, you two have this life force about you, everyone feels it, you two together, litrally puts electricity in the air, it's insanity"

"You're drunk"

"Nothings that bad if it feels good"

Ella chuckled at her friend and shook her head.

"You're clearly meant to be, fate is a cruel mistress, but she's not stupid"

"You sound like Deshaun"

"That's because he feels the same" Sara laughed "And ain't nobody ever disagreed with that man"

"I'm not setting myself up for that trauma again"

"Girl, this is gonna be traumatic the rest of your life then" Sara said flipping her hair over her shoulder "Both of you are gonna go through loveless for the rest of your life because you know what's meant to be" Grabbing her purse off he counter, turning back to Ella.

"Let's go torture you both some more shall we?"

Ella chuckled, her friend was so right, this whole situation was fucked up.

Every time Marshall looked at her, accidentally brushed up against her, it was like her heart has been returned, that gaping hole was no longer there, her heart began to beat again, pumping warmth throughout her cold body again.

They went to walk out of the hall, almost bumping into Marshall.

"Hey" he said with a smirk pulling at his lips "Mind if we go somewhere a little private?"

Sara raised her eyebrows and smirked, handing Ella her vest to put on, giving them a nod then waved as she walked back to the VIP booth.

Marshall gestured to the balcony, and Ella walked in front of him, him placing his hand in the small of her back, leading her through the doors, and then both taking a seat in the outdoor couch.

"So, there a reason we're out here Romeo?" Ella grinned as Marshall sat, arm across the back of the chair staring at her.

"Earth to Marshall"

He snapped out of his trance and "I have to tell you something"

Ella's laughed "Well spit it out"

"I'm just looking for the right way to say it" Marshall said, shifting in his seat, sitting up so he was looking straight at Ella face.

"I'm waiting Marsh, it's not like you to be at a loss of words" she chuckled, thinking he was about to make a joke.

"I left Kim"
