Marshall started a band, D12 and marshall is always gone on tour or doing some gig at nightclubs or bars,
Aaliyah was busy too but not all the time, marshall is so busy aaliyah can't even have a normal conversation with him and when he comes home he's either in a bad mood, tired, or at his studio
Gloria has been working for aaliyah for awhile now and aaliyah completely loves her, she knows how to get the job done with no hesitation
Aaliyah graduated from school already and she got her master and bachelor degree for business and aaliyah had so many ideas for her own company that she plans on starting

(Monday night)
It's 11:40 pm and Marshall is out doing another gig at a bar and aaliyah didn't like how marshall was always performing in places that he shouldn't, Aaliyah is pentecostal and she was raised to not drink unless it was a special holiday or occasion and aaliyah and her family didn't really celebrate many holidays or birthdays, they only celebrated 4th of july, easter, thanksgiving, christmas, and new years eve, they believe that if you drink to get drunk that's a sin, they didn't smoke or did drugs but marshall was raised that way so it was hard trying to get him to adapt to that kind of life, aaliyah never cussed unless she was really mad or upset, Marshall believed in God but he wasn't really religious, marshall actions lately have been causing a lot of problems in his marriage, it got to the point where marshall and aaliyah thought about getting a divorce but Ray and Deshaun talked them out of it

Marshall and aaliyah marriage problems started in late 2004 and the problems been active since then
Well it's almost midnight, aaliyah was in bed waiting for marshall as she's reading a book she hears crashing for the living room, aaliyah sits up from her bed and sees marshall coming into the room

"Hey baby, i thought you were asleep" marshall said softly

"Nope it's hard to sleep knowing that my husband is out performing in the middle of the night" Aaliyah said
Marshall took off his shirt and threw it in the basket of dirty clothes, took off his shoes and put some comfy sweats on
He hugged aaliyah, but aaliyah quickly pushed him off

"What's wrong now!?" marshall angrily asked
Aaliyah hated when marshall would come home drunk and tried to be touchy with aaliyah

"Are you drunk? You reek of liquor! Have you also been smoking?" aaliyah exclaimed

"So? I had a few drinks, be deal! Porter had some weed so I tried it out! It's not a big deal aaliyah no one even cares" marshall said carelessly
He got under the covers and laid down on his side, avoiding eye contact

"I care marshall! I care! You're gonna ruin your life by partying!"

"What about you!? You drink too!" marshall yelled

"Yeah! Only on holidays and special occasions and you don't ever see me getting drunk and high do you!?"

"Look i'm tired i dont wanna talk about this anymore" then marshall turned off his lamp and closed his eyes
