*Time Skip*
Eric's POV

It was cold, and dark. I walked toward the entrance of Cedars Hospital. I see this man wearing all black. He still looked professional. He had sharp bone structure. It looked as if his hair was in jherri curls. He looked beautiful, I'm not a homosexual. But, damn he looked attractive. 

"Hello." He said as he lifted his head up noticing my sight 

"Hello dude." I said as I put my hands in my coat pockets 

"Let's get to business." He smirks as takes my hand making me follow him

"Wait." I say making him stop 

"What is it?" He says as his eyes widen with fear

"What is your name?" 

"Don't worry. I'll tell you sooner or later." He giggles as he accompanies me to the back of the building 

"Uh...Okay." I sigh wanting to know his name 

*Itty Bitty Time Skip*

"Swallow this." The man tells me as I had a big pill in my mouth 

I swallow down the big pill. A lopsided grin appeared on my face as I stared down at the dude's humble face.

"I'm telling you. This can cure your HIV. Take these for a week. When are you meeting your doctor again?" The man asks me as he gives me a bag of my medicine 

"I didn't make a appointment with him yet."

"Oh...okay." The man sucks in his teeth looking back down at the ground 

"Is there a problem?" I ask with concern 

"No Eric." The man shook his head 

"Alright. Is there anything else?" 

"I advise you to make a appointment with your doctor soon after you finish taking those pills. Also, I can help you defeat Death Row." The man smirks as he looks at my body admiring it 

"What you know about Death Row? And, how are you going to help me?" I ask with a little bit of shock wanting to talk more to this guy 

"Let's get to business in the recording studio. I'll show you something about defeat." The man smiles showing his pearly whites 

"Ooh." I say as I put my hand over my chest still in shock 

"I'm not playing any games Eric. I can help you defeat Death Row. Even though, you defeated them though. But, I can help you end their career for GOOD." The man says sincere 

"Are you sure you not jiving?" I asked making sure

"I am being serious Eric. Trust me, I got this my dude." The man says as he gets closer to me

I wanted to stare into his eyes so damn bad. All I could do was stare at his whole face, and body. His eyes were like fire. If my eyes stared at them too long, they would start to burn. He had such beautiful eyes. A soft voice that was calming. I was wanting to know what he could do in the recording studio...

"I think you know where to meet me." I say with a chuckle 

"Yeah you're right. I do." The man chuckles as well

"I must be going. See ya tomorrow." I say as I leaving the building 

"See ya Eric!" The man exclaims with a bright smile on his face  

*Time Skip*
Eric's POV

I was waiting in the recording studio. I tapped my foot impatiently waiting on this mysterious man. I was a little bit curious of what this man could do. 

*Itty Bitty Time Skip*

He finally walks in the recording studio. Holy shit my dick is getting hard. Eric try not getting a boner at a time like this. You are a straight male! Get it together! 

"Hi mysterious man." I greet the man with a warm smile 

"Hello there Eric." The man says as he smirks provably

"Let's get down to business." I put my hands together 

"I'm ready!" The man exclaims as he gets up to the mic 

*Itty Bitty Time Skip*

"You ready?" I ask him as I got everything settled 

"Yes." The man answers determined 

"Alright." I sigh as I put some music on recording 

The lights dim low...

  She's Out Of My Life
She's Out Of My Life
And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry
I Don't Know Whether To Live Or Die
And It Cuts Like A Knife
She's Out Of My Life  

His voice was beautiful, amazing, unique. The man's eyes were filled with something. It wasn't tears, it was something very special...

  It's Out Of My Hands

It's Out Of My Hands
To Think For Two Years She Was Here
And I Took Her For Granted I Was So Cavalier
Now The Way That It Stands
She's Out Of My Hands  

Tears were filling my eyes as I was listening to these beautiful lyrics...

  So I've Learned That Love's Not Possession
And I've Learned That Love Won't Wait
Now I've Learned That Love Needs Expression
But I Learned Too Late  

He puts down his head closing his eyes. Taking a few deep breaths.

  She's Out Of My Life
She's Out Of My Life
Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride
Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside
And It Cuts Like A Knife
She's Out Of My Life  

It ends...The song left me choked up. The lyrics were so beautiful. 

"What is your name mysterious man?" I ask as a tear falls down my cheek 

"Michael Joseph Jackson." He answers as he looks up at me with fierce in his eyes 

"Well Michael...Welcome to Ruthless Records." I smile as the whole crowd of tears started running down my face 

Michael walks up toward me hugging me tightly. "I know this song has you thinking of Aaliyah. I'm sorry for your loss. I know she's resting peacefully in Heaven. We're going to defeat Dr. Dre and his snobby Death Row.

My eyes were filling back with more tears. Thinking of Aaliyah over and over again. Her name never left my head. Her beautiful face never left my eyes. Why couldn't Dre kill me instead? It would've been better...

"Thank You Michael." I say as I continued hugging him tightly needing comfort from someone 

Michael was great at giving hugs. Tears couldn't stop running down my cheeks. I wiped my ears with the back of my hand. 

"No need to thank me Eric. I am here to help you." Michael says as he puts his bare hands on my shoulders looking me in the eyes 

I close my eyes thinking of the past. Thinking of the memories, then thinking of now. Aaliyah is gone, my soul is gone. My body had some type of feeling when Michael hugged me. It felt like Heaven was wrapped around me. The atmosphere was filled with positive vibes. I felt loved at that moment. I didn't feel lonely anymore.

"I have to thank you. Now, I don't really know what to do." I look down pouting 

"Don't pout!" Michael jokingly says as he mocks me 

"Wow." I giggle at his hilarious mock of mines 

"I forgot to ask you. What's your opinion on my singing or the song itself?" Michael asks me 

"Amazing." I say as my eyes widen with surprise knowing how good of a voice he had. His voice was golden 

Michael takes my hand telling me, "I am here.  Eric, most people would turn you away. I will never turn on you for any reason. I don't listen to a word they say." He says this with seriousness in his tone of voice 

I don't say anything back. I let him continue to talk these soothing, comforting words. 

"They don't see you as I do. I wish they would try to. I'm sure they'd think again." Michael sung as he was still holding my hand 

I hug Michael tightly. "I really need this hug."

"I know you do." Michael says soft as a whisper
