Returning to the Past ( Eminem Fan Fiction)

Returning to the Past

" Boys come on, you will be late for school" I screamed as I frantically ran around the house trying to get my sons to school. Being a single mum is pretty hard especially when you have two teenage boys. My oldest is Ryan, who is 16 I was really young when I had him and my youngest is Alec who is only two years younger than Ryan.

Driving them of to school was quite as always, they weren't the boys that liked going to school but what teenager does. We have only been living here in Michigan for just under a year, we were previously living in Australia where my family lives but I have been living in America since I was 15 only a year before I had Ryan so we had more friends and family living over here but that doesn't say I don't miss Australia and my family, but when you have children overseas that's the sacrifice you have to make.

" so are you meeting up with Dre today?" Ryan asked just before we were about to pull into school. Even though I tried to keep them out of my work, they always knew what was going on.

"yeah I am, now out you get. Have a good day at school and will see you when you get home this afternoon" I said as I gave both of them kisses and telling them I love them making sure none of their friends saw. At home they were both Mummy boys but at school they had to be cool.

As I arrived at my own music studio, I realised that Dre wasn't here yet so I had some time to do some other work. I had recently just opened my own Studio just a few minutes from home. You see I am a music Producer/ Song writer and I also help people discover unknown Artist. I mainly specialise in Hip Hop but I usually just work with unknown artist trying to get in the game because it is hard being a female in a male dominated lifestyle but it is even harder being white, when people think hip hop should only be for Black people who have grown up in the ghetto lifestyle which for me, was is the total opposite.

" now here is a face I haven't seen in a while" Dre said behind me, making me nearly jump out of my skin.

" Hey it is so good to see you" I said as I walked up and gave him a hug. Dre has been one of my closet friends. I have known him since I was 17 and we are really close with his family.

We hugged for a second knowing this was the first time we have seen each other in a few months. Dre had been really busy at home with Nicole and the kids also with his music Label back in New York.

" so what can I do for you" I asked knowing he was here for some reason. Even though I was a music Producer I have tried to keep out of the whole famous music scene. I knew what that kind of lifestyle was like because I was part of it for so many years, but being part of it kind of changed me for the worst, I missed out on so many years with my kids and seeing them grow up, so now I don't really do any big productions because I don't want to leave my kids.

" I was wondering if you wanted to work with some of my artist, I know a few are eager to work with you" he said adding the last bit after he saw my disappointed face. For years he has tried to get me back into the game with working with his music label and making it a full time occupation again but every time had refused, I liked doing it casually knowing I wasn't tired down with a certain music label.

" I don't know Dre, you know I like doing it casually" I said as I put some CDs away trying to tiredly the studio.

" I know you do, but Sarah you are one of the most talented producers I know, so I am not just asking you because I have to I am asking you because you are a natural and you would do so well in this industry now." he said coming closer and taking a seat.

" its changed Sara, its not like it used to be. They have more respect for women these days. please just think about, you know he would want you to do it " he said

I know Dre was only trying to help, and as much as I love working casually and mainly making beats I would love to get back to where I used to be, working with the artist and producing it in the studio with him.

For he rest of the afternoon, we sat in my studio talking about family and the past. I even showed him a some new beats that I had produced. he loved all of them especially one that he played over an over again, he even tried to freestyle with it.

As I promised the boys I was home by the time they got home from school, we did our usual routine, Homework, dinner and TV. I usually have the boys one week and than they stay with the father the other week. That was one of the reason we moved to Michigan, there Dad was offered a position from his job that I knew he really wanted. Besides it was the right thing to do he had stuck by me throughout my whole career now it was my time to show my support.

The next couple of days flew by really quickly, I didn't hear from Dre because I knew he was giving me time to think, and I sure did a lot of that. It drove me insane, I really wanted to work with artist again but I didn't want past to repeat itself, I had missed to much of my kids life and it was one of the reason my marriage broke down. I knew if I did do it, that I was going to make sure that it didn't overtake my life, that I kept my work separate to my social life.

I was doing some paper work late in the evening while the boys were playing PlayStation. I was surprised to hear my mobile because know one usually rings me after I leave the studio.

" Hello" I said into the phone kind of surprised bit worried at the same time.

"hey is this Sarah pieceson " the guy on the other side said.

" yeah this is she" I answered really curiously, why was the person ringing me.

"my Name is Wayne Carter but most people call me Lil Wayne from Cash Moneys, your friend Dre showed me a beat that you produced earlier this month" he continued as soon as I heard Dre name, I knew it was something about work.

" he did?, I am sorry about that" I asked quickly trying to apologise for Dre actions, I didn't want him to push people in to working with me.

" why are you apologising, the beat was unbelievable , I have even got some Lyrics written down. So I was interested in buying it of you" he asked, I was speechless. Lil Wayne liked my beat. I have always been a big fan of his.

" I guess we can work something out" I said giggling like a little school girl, I thought he would think I was a loser but when I heard him chuckle as well, that was a good sign.

" I was also wondering if you would help produce it and help write some of the lyrics." he asked again, I was taken back by this. I couldn't believe he wanted me to produce.

" that should be good, I am a little rusty though" I continued hoping not to sound more of a loser but that wasn't working out very well.

"haha don't worry you will be great. I also showed Eminem the beat and he wants in as well. " he continued as soon as Eminem was mentioned that's when my heart nearly sank. Dre mentioned I should get back into the business I didn't think he meant with the two biggest hip hop Artist.

After I organised everything with Wayne, I tried to regain myself but I couldn't. that's when the nerves hit me. I was going to work with the two of the biggest Hip Hop artists of all time

Before I fell asleep, I wanted to thank Dre for showing Wayne my beat. this was the start of something new I could just tell and I was nervous as hell.

Dre, so I see you stole my beat and showed it to Lil Wayne.

Thank you it was just the push I needed :)
