Changes

Chapter 1

The year is 2009. Me and Marshall haven't seen each other much since Deshaun's funureal mostly because he's a fucking dick so I avoid him. I heard he was in rehab back in 2007 and I'm really happy that he got some help but that still doesn't mean that I wanna talk to him. I'm so dissapointed in him and I still have so much anger towards him from his cheating.

Leticia is doing good, it was tough for her to get through Deshaun's death but she's a strong woman and she's now a single mom and she rocks at it.

Me and Leticia stand in my office talking when Hannah our boss walks in.

"I have job for you." She tells us.

"Okay?" We say confused because we usually gets a schedule of some kind.

"The two of you are gonna work on Eminem's new music video." Hannah says. Is she fucking kidding me?! I don't want to be any near Marshall and specially not at work where I'm forced to be professional, but I can't really refuse to do it as Hannah doesn't know a single thing about me and Marshall past.

"Wait, what about Jane?" I ask her as I know Jane used to be his stylist back in the days.

"She won't do a job on him, something went down between them back in 2006." Hannah informs us as she gives me some papers. It's good for Leticia because she's still friends with Marshall and it's always nice to have clients you know. "This is all the information you need." Hannah says and she leaves my office.

"Fuck." I sigh.

"Listen, he's different now, alright?" Leticia says.

"I don't care, the asshole cheated on me, he hurt my feelings, he fucking walked all over me, then he fucked me after his divorce with Kim and walked all over me again, I don't care if he's sober now, he's still an asshole." I say.

It becomes the day where we have to work on the music video. We have to find some different looks, find some actors and of course hear the song. When we walk into the big studio Marshall's eyes widen when he sees me. He looks like himself but his hair isn't blond anymore and then he's lost a little weight but his body still looks fit.

"Sit down girls." Davis the instructor tells us. Leticia gives Marshall a huge hug while I just sit down. We talked for a few hours about ideas for different looks and so on.  

"Well I got an idea then." Davis says. "The 3 of you are gonna go out tomorrow and buy some clothes for Marshall and see if you can get more creative."

"I'm sorry, I can't." Leticia then says. "I have some things I have to do with my daughter."

"Well what about the two of you?" Davis asks while he looks at me and Marshall. "Can you handle it alone?" I really hope that this is a very bad dream.

"Sure." I just say coldly.

"Then Imma pick you up tomorrow at 10am alright?" Marshall suggests. Does he think this is a fucking date or something? I swear he's gonna feel tomorrow how angry I still am. 

"Yeah fine." I just say while I take some notes and I don't even bother to look at him.

The next day at 10am.

I get into Marshall's Mercedes and I feel sick being this close to him, no one should go through the feelings I'm feeling right now.

"Yo." He says but I don't say anything and he just begins to drive. Suddenly I feel his hand going down between the seats and suddenly there's a smoothie down from my favorite smoothie shop in front of my eyes. "Kiwi, banana and strawberry, right?" He says mentioning my favorite mix of fruit in one smoothie. I can't believe that he remembers that it's my favorite smoothie. I sit and look at it for a few seconds because I don't know if I should take it or not, but I end up taking it anyway.
