I Turn to You
In light of recent events with Kim.....
~*~
Marshall paced the livingroom floor, waiting for Hailie to fall asleep.
'I gotta get the hell outta here.' He thought, looking around the room for the quietest exit. His eyes looked toward the stairs, where the nanny was finally descending.
"I'ma be out for a while. You'll be ok if Hai wakes up , right?" He asked,
watching the nanny nod her head. A smile spread across his face and before she could say anything, he was out the door.He pulled up in front of a small apartment building. He stopped the car and
just sat for a few minutes, watching the shadow in the window.
(When I'm lost in the rain,)
(In your eyes I know)
(I'll find the light to light my way)He walked up to the front door, hoping he wasn't disturbing anything, and
knocked lightly. A short blonde answered, and her eyes got wide when she saw him."Slim?" She asked quietly, wondering what he could possibly want at this hour.
"You said whatever I needed." He stated simply, letting himself inside.
(And when I'm scared, losing ground)
(When my world is going crazy )
(You can turn it all around and when I'm down you're there)
(Pushing me to the top)
"And what is it that you need?" She asked him, sitting next to him on the sofa."It's Kim, she's... She's..." He couldn't get the words out.
"I heard." She said simply, reaching up to rub the back of his neck.
That was all he needed. He slowly sunk down so that his head was in her lap. Hailie had *him* to keep her safe, to talk to when she had questions. But now *he* needed someone. Someone who wouldn't talk his ear off about what he *should* do, someone who wouldn't ask too many questions.
(You're always there, giving me all you've got)
(For a shield from the storm)
(For a friend)
(For a love to keep me safe and warm )
(I turn to you)
"What am I gonna do now?" He whispered. Kim was his everything, she knew it, and she always fucked it up."What you always do, Slim. You'll pick up the pieces, and learn to live with
whatever is thrown at you." She said, now rubbing his back."And Hailie?" He asked, knowing she wouldn't tell him what to do.
"When she has questions, you'll answer them, with as much truth as she needs, I know you, you'll do ok." She stated, lifting his head so that she could get up.
He sat up, as she went into the kitchen. She came back out with a beer , and a slice of pizza. He smiled, knowing she had that there just for him.
"And if she needs a girl to talk to about... you know, girly stuff?" He asked.
"Then you send her here, and I will see what I can do. I can't be Kim, we
established that, but I can be a *friend*." She stated simply.
(For the strength to be strong)
(For the will to carry on )
(For everything you do)
(For everything that's true)
(I turn to you)
"You'll be ok until she's out. I promise. And you know where you can go if you feel like you're not ok." She stared at him for a minute, remembering the talk they had after Kim had come back for the twelveth time."Yeah." He shifted so he was leaning more towards her. "And what about when I get horny?" He asked, a sly smile on his lips.
"Then you get in bed... Take off your pants... And do it *yourself*." She
said, laughing as he was jolted back into reality."Hey, you said *anything* I needed." He laughed, pulling her into a hug.
She sighed. "I'd love to Slim, but it's just not my place." She stated,
kissing him lightly on the cheek.(When I lose the will to win)
(I just reach for you)
(And I can reach the sky again)
(I can do anything )
('Cause your love is so amazing)
('Cause your love inspires me)"Can I just stay for a little bit? I need to calm down before I take myself back to *that* house." He asked.
"Of course. How 'bout I put in a movie, you can lay here with me and fall
asleep if you like, and I'll wake you up when it's over. That way you're there when she wakes up." She said, looking at him.He nodded. "Thank you." He whispered, wrapping his arms around her waist and laying down in her lap again.
(And when I need a friend)
(You're always on my side)
(Giving me faith, taking me through the night)
"Anything for you, Slim, anything." She whispered back, letting her fingers go in circling motions on his back."You're my best friend." He stated honestly.
"And you're mine." She said kissing the top of his head.
(For the arms to be my shelter )
(Through all the rain)
(For truth that will never change)
(For someone to lean on)
(For a heart I can rely on through anything)
(For the one who I can run to...)...the end
