The Queen of R&B

Just you and me

It’s been two weeks now since aaliyah’s death and her funeral is in two days, tomorrow is the viewing of the aaliyah’s body before her funeral

Marshall has been partying none stop, he hasn’t eaten much since, he hasn’t called or seen any of his friends, family or any of the riveras
He gave all the dogs to Bea and tony, he knew he couldn’t take care of them, marshall’s house was an absolute mess, there was dirty dishes and dirty clothes scattered around there were also empty whisky and vodka bottles everywhere

Marshall was sitting on couch just thinking and crying, looking through pictures of him, aaliyah and DeShaun
Marshall cried and just kept asking God why

“God, I know you can hear me, why? Why did you take them away, they didn’t deserve to die like that” marshall broke down crying
Marshall had aaliyah’s favorite playlist playing, Marshall then laid down on the couch then his phone started ringing, it was ray

(END OF CALL)
Marshall grabbed his alarm clocked and set the time for

Marshall laid still on the couch trying his hardest to not sleep, but he couldn’t help it, his eyes felt so heavy and his body felt numb as marshall laid still, as he started to doze off to sleep, aaliyah’s voice echoed in his head as he replayed their last conversation

“I’ll see you soon, i love you” aaliyah softly said as her voice echoed loudly in marshall’s ears
Marshall slept, as marshall started to sleep he was drifting into a dream or so he thought
Marshall saw the footage and heard the audio of aaliyah’s death, he saw her crawl on the floor crying out for help, heard her screams of pain, fear and terror

*MARSHALL’S DREAM*
Marshall’s POV:
There was Gloria's condo apartment complex, why is it so quiet? Where is everyone?
I hear someone screaming, it’s aaliyah! I run to her but she run passes me screaming for help, i chase after her i could hear her crying out for help, i can’t help but cry for her
I see her collapsing onto the floor in the main office

“Aaliyah it’s okay, I'm here!” i sobbed
She looked at me with so much pain and fear in her eyes, I could see her hands trying to hold pressure on her wound, she was shot in the chest close to her arm by her heart. Why was there so much blood?

“Please don’t let her get me, she’s coming for me!” Aaliyah cried out
I heard a door open, i turned around and there’s gloria holding her gun pointing it at aaliyah

“NO!” i screamed then she pulled the trigger

*NORMAL POV*

Marshall’s alarm went off, marshall woke up out of fear and fell off the couch

“NO! NO!” marshall yelled as he woke up, marshall noticed that he was on the floor
He rubbed his eyes and saw what time it was, he took a shower, brushed his teeth and tried to find a clean, nice outfit
He wore a black long sleeved shirt that hugged his muscles, black jeans and sneakers, he wore his black leather jacket, put on some cologne
