Chapter 11

My dad…

He is literally the greatest guy in the world. I know a lot of kids say that, but he really is great! Whenever I go visit him, he always talks to me, has time for me, and helps me with whatever I have.

"K mom!" I said as I went up to my room to get something.

I opened my door and looked around. I still had my old room from when I was a little kid, but it changed a lot. I had a small flat screen in here, my bed was a double twin bed, I had movie and music posters, pictures of my family, and a couple other stuff, like hobbies, games, and a uh, few things that my parents cant find out.

I went into my drawer and took out my iPod, well it was my dad's, but he gave it to me as a graduation present. It was still good and had all of his songs on it. I got my purple Dre beats and went to the front door.

"Bye mom! I'm going to see my dad!" I said as I walked out.

"Wait!" she said, making me stop in my tracks.

Frustrated, I walked back inside, "What?" I asked.

"Don't forget your glasses." She said.

I have prescription glasses that I 'need'. I see perfectly fine without them, I don't know why I need them. But my mom still gets on my case for forgetting them.

"Alright." I said as I quickly grabbed them off the counter and put them on.

I went back outside and put on helmet, and put my headphones on, I put them on a way so that I can ride my bike without taking off my helmet. I got the iPod and quickly chose a random song off the playlist.

I started pedaling at it started.

My Life by 50 Cent, featuring Eminem and Adam Levine

(Adam Levine Chorus)

My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion, it's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try

(50 Cent Verse)

Yeah, '03 I went from quite filthy to filthy rich
Man their emotions change so I can never trust a bitch
I tried to help niggas get on, they turned around and spit
Right in my face, so Game and Buck, both can suck a dick
Now when you hear 'em it may sound like it's some other shit
Cause I'm not writing anymore, they not making hits
I'm far from perfect, there's so many lessons I done learned
If money's evil look at all the evil I done earned
I'm doing what I'm supposed to
I'm a writer, I'm a fighter, entrepreneur
Fresh out the sewer, watch me maneuver, what's it to you?
The track I lace it, it's better than basic
This is my recovery, my comeback kid
(Adam Levine Chorus)
My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion,
It's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try
(Eminem Verse)
While you were sipping your own kool-aid getting your buzz heavy
I was in the fucking shed sharpening my machete
Sipping on some of that revenge juice, getting my taste buds ready
To whoop down this spaghetti, or should I say this spa-get-even?
I think you fucking meatballs keep on just forgetting
Thought he was finished, motherfucker, it's only the beginning
He's buggin' again, he's straight thuggin', fuck who he's offending
He'll rip your vocal chords out and have them bitches plugged in the
Motherfucking wall with 3000 volts of electricity
Now take the other end of 'em then plug them, motherfuckers in each
One of your eye sockets cause I thought you might finally fucking see
That'll teach you to go voicing your cocksuckin' opinion to me
I done put my blood, my sweat and my tears in this shit
Fuck letting up, you're gonna end up regretting you ever betted against me
Feels like I'mma snap any minute, yeah, it's happening again
I'm thinking about the same
Motherfuck everybody that's up in this bitch, but 50!
Cause this is all I know, this is why so hard I go
I swear to God I put my heart and soul into this more than anybody knows
I'm trapped, so all I do is rap, but every time I rap I'm more trapped
And I rap myself right into this bubble, oh oh, I guess it's bubble wrap
It's like a vicious cycle, my life's in a crisis
Christ, how was I supposed to know shit would turn out like it did?
Feels like I'm going psycho again
And I might just blow my lid
Shit, I almost wish that I would have never made Recovery, kid
Cause I'm running in circles with
(Adam Levine Chorus)
My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion,
It's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try
(50 Cent Verse)
I haven't been this fucking confused since I was a kid
Sold like 40 million records, people forgot what I did
Maybe this is for me, maybe
Maybe I'm supposed to go crazy
Maybe I'll do it 3 AM in the morning like Shady (hah)
Psycho killer, Michael Myers, I'm on fire like a lighter
Tryna say this ain't classic, get your ass kicked
Mad quick, wrap your head up in plastic
Pussy, now pick the casket, dirt nap with the maggots
It's tragic, it's sad it's
Never gonna end, now we number one again
With that frown on your face, and your heart full of hate
Accept it, respect it
This a gift God given like the air in the lungs
Of every fucking thing livin'
(Adam Levine Chorus)
My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion,
It's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try

As I turned the corner of where my dad works at, I stopped at the security gate. I took my headphones off and the guard said, "Sorry son, visitors go through the back." I looked at him and said, "But I am Marshall's son, Truth."

"Oh, terribly sorry." He said as he opened he opened the gate.

"Its ok." I said as I pedaled inside. I parked my bike at near the entrance and walked inside. I was at the factory floor, where everyone sorted and shipped the fruits. I quickly made my way to a elevator and went to the top floor.

I waited, then the elevator doors opened and I was on the business part of the building. Everyone wore suits and similar attire as I went to my dad's office.

I went to the secretary and asked, "I'm Marshall's son, Truth. May I go see my dad?"

She looked at me and said, "Sorry Mr. Mathers, but your father is in a meeting right now, and he can not see visi-"

BEEP!

The intercom went off.

"Let him in! I always want to see my son, besides the meeting is almost over!" said my dad.

I told you he always wants to see me!

"But sir." Said the secretary.

"No buts! Come on in Truth." My dad said.

I smiled as I walked in. I saw my dad on his chair, the back faced the door, and he was on the phone.

His office was nice, he had a big window on the side so he can see the factory, pictures of me and my mom on the walls, nice plants in the room. He had his computer at the desk along with a few other miscellaneous items.

"Sorry. We don't give you guys and grapes or oranges, until you show us the nukes." Said my dad on the phone.

I heard someone yell on the other line and hang-up.

My dad let out a long laugh, "Who was that dad?" I asked as I sat in a chair across from his desk.

"North Korea, I am not selling them anything, until they show us their 'nukes'." Laughed my dad a bit.

I laughed a bit too.

"So, how was school?" he asked, with his hazel eyes looking at me.

"Pretty good, we have all the same classes." I told him.

"Cool, anything else?" he asked as he grabbed a M&M from a little bowl on his desk.

"Want one?" he asked as he handed me the bowl.

"No thanks. And no, nothing else happened at school." I told him as he put it back.

"You sure?" he asked.

"Well…" I started o say.

"Tell me, no one else has to know." My dad said.

"Well, there is a girl at school I think is cute." I said.

"Ah, crushes. If you are looking for dating advice don't ask me, ask your mother." Said my dad as he got up from his chair.

"I just think she is cute." I told him.

"Well, soon you will have feelings for her, then…" my dad started to say but stopped.

"Then what?" I asked.

"You start hanging out together as friends, and one night, when you are all alone, you just-"

"NO NO NO! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" I said as I covered my ears.

He let out a soft laugh and said, "I never told you how I meet your mother huh?"

"No." I said as I put my hands down.

He never told me, I always thought they meet in high school or something like that.

"Want to know?" he asked.

"YES PLEASE!" I said as I leaned in to hear.

"When I was 19, I moved to Boston. Within about 2 weeks of being there, I witnessed a murder." He said as the tone in his voice changed a bit.

My eyes widened in shock as I listened.

"I then meet your mother at the M.V.U building in Boston, when I was being questioned. Soon I was placed in witness protection, your Uncle Sonic was with me at first. But a drive-by happened and he got shot, then Blaze took his spot. We had to move around the country, hotel to hotel, until the trial, which was 3 months away. We went to Virginia, Michigan, and my home state California. Your mother and I have had some fun adventures when we went to hotel to hotel, AND NOT WHAT YOU THINK!" he said.

"Anyway, we were just friends the whole time, but I always felt like we were supposed to be together forever. Anyway, about a month before the trial, we went to California and visited your grandmother, grandfather, and Uncle Julian. That is also where I meet Uncle Shadow and Aunt Rouge, who was about 2 months pregnant with Shadow Jr. Anyway, a plane came and took us to Boston, where we saw again, Uncle Sonic and Aunt Amy." He said. He took a drink of water and continued.

"We stayed in Boston until the trial, then grandma and grandpa visited, and so did Uncle Julian. And the night before the trial, me and your mother were in the house, alone, while everyone else was gathering evidence. We were watching a movie, one thing led to another, and you were conceived in Boston." He said.

Well, I'm a Bostonian now.

"Then the trial was next day, the murder was put away, but on the way out of the courtroom, I was stabbed in the spine by one of his partners." He soon had a few tears go down his face, but he continued the story.

"I 'died', and I was in the hospital. Your mother was at my side when I 'died'. That is when she told everyone that she was pregnant with you. When I was 'dead', I was in heaven. God gave me another chance to live so I can be with you guys, but at a cost. My best friend, Michael 'Truth' Corvick, had to burn in hell so I can live. I named you after him." He said with more tears in his eyes.

"I came back, and you were born 9 months later." He finished the story.

Wow, someone should make a book or something out his story, and he meet my mom, all out of luck and chance.

He wiped away his tears and said, "You want to know how much I love your mother?"

"How much?" I asked.

"She was my first kiss, and she took my virginity. I was 19 when we meet and she was 29, I was 20 when you were conceived and born." He said.

"So now you know, that is the whole story." He said as he hugged me.

"I love you dad." I told him as I started to cry a bit too.

"I love you too son." He said.

We wiped away our tears and he said, "Since I don't have to do anything else today, how about I drive you home and make pizza for dinner."

We smiled and I said, "You always make the best pizza."

We walked out the door and went home...
