MICHAEL POV

____________________

"Good morning beautiful." I sigh smiling at Ava.

She laughs and sits up.

"Michael. Did I ever tell you your morning face is hot?" Ava says.

"No. But it does turn me on." I say sitting up.

Im going to kiss her until she gasp.

"What?" I ask.

"Michael. What is that on your stomach?" She asks me nervously.

"What? What is it?" I say looking at my stomach.

Then I see it. Its a huge white spot there.

"How did that get there?" I ask.

"Maybe it can wipe off." She says.

She starts rubbing my stomach.

"Stop your tickling me." I yell between laughs.

"Okay. So it needs soap and water." She says.

"Its probably nothing." I say.

"Michael what if its cancer or something or an infection. Please go check it out?" She says worried.

"Okay. I will go to the hospital today." I say.

I kiss her on the forehead and she smiles.

Ava's hand slips into mine and I squeeze it. A doctor came to us and smiled. Okay no bad news.

"Hello Mr. Jackson. And hello Mrs. Green." The doctor says shaking our hands.

"Can you tell us what is wrong with me?" I ask.

"Uh, yes. Well it looks like you might have a disease." The doctor says.

I feel the words sink in. I'm gonna die?

"You don't have to worry. You won't die from it." He says quick.

Ava relaxed a lot.

"Its called vitiligo. Its a disease that rips the pigment of your skin and changes the skin color." He says.

(I know vitiligo does not happen overnight! This is a story go along with it!)

"So what is going to happen to me?" I ask.

"Well. This makes you at a bigger risk for getting skin cancer and your skin will change to a lighter tone. But this takes process and time so it might mean you have spots all over you." The doctor says.

"Wow." Ava says quietly.

"Is there a cure for this? Is it contagious?" I ask.

"Its not contagious and there is sadly no cure for it." He says.

"This can be passed on my genes though." He adds.

"I see." I say slowly.

I turn to Ava and she is staring blankly.

"Ava." I ask worried.

"Yes?" She asks coming back.

"This is a lot to take in." I say.

"Yeah. Im fine. And I understand." She says boldly.

"Okay. Well you should get a dermatologist set." the doctor says.

"Yes. Um we will be leaving now." I say sitting up.

Ava follows me.

"We hope to see you again soon Mr. Jackson and Mrs. Green." He says smiling.

I walk out the door really fast with Ava at my heel.

"Michael." She says.

I stop midway walking to the car.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I still love you all the same with or without the disease." She says.

She walks toward me slowly and hugs me. I feel hot tears on my chest. I start crying too. She kisses me all over and I cry more.

My phone rings in my pocket and I take it out.

"Michael. I think I know what I want. Come over." She said on the other line. Then she hung up.

I put the phone back in my pocket and smiled.

"What is it?" Ava asked sniffling.

"I think Madonna might finally leave us alone." I say.

"How?" She asks me.

"I don't know lets just go." I say grabbing her hand.

"Can we walk Michael?" She asks me.

"Why?" I ask.

"Her house isn't far from here and we've never really been on a walk together. To talk and stuff." She says blushing.

"Sure." I say my face turning pink.

She slides her hand in mine and we started walking. She looks straight ahead just walking.

"Michael. I should tell you something." She says.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Okay so you know when I was lost right? Well I stopped at Norway and stuff and then there was this guy, Tom who talked to me and said he fell in love with me so-" She says really quick.

"Woah, back it up. This person "Tom" fell in love with you?" I ask confused.

She glances a nervous look at me and keeps going.

"He said he fell in love with me at first site and he kind of kissed me but I stopped him, dont worry, and I used his phone to call you while we waited and then I kissed him back. But that was out of pity." She finishes.

"Please don't be mad at me. I mean It was a pity kiss." She says cringing.

"I'm just in wow shock." I say.

"I thought you were just in Norway. I didn't know you were having an adventure." I say thinking.

"I didn't and I still don't have any feelings for that man. And I just..." She says.

"I feel so stupid." I say.

"Don't Michael. You know I only love you." She says.

"Its fine Ava. Don't worry. I mean you didn't feel anything towards him and if he isn't in your life anymore. It doesn't worry me." I say.

She sighs with relief.

"We're here." I say.

I knock on the door and Madonna opens right away.

"Oh there you are Michael." She says in a dramatic tone.

"Oh. And you brought Ava." She said glaring at Ava.

"Come in come in." She says.

We walk in slowly.

"I'm so glad to see you made it. I have already set up tea. It was a few minutes ago. I hope its not too cold." She says smiling.

We sit on the sofa while she sits across from us. I don't drink the tea just in case its poison.

"Lets get to the point." Madonna says taking a sip.

"I want..." She tries to say.

"Love." She finishes.

I hold in my laugh. Why would a witch like that want love?

"Before you laugh. Let me tell my full story." She says clearing her throat.

"I grew up in a foster home because my parents abandoned me. One day, I got adopted. I was excited because I would finally be loved. But then I realized who they were. They were just men looking for a sex slave. I escaped the first day before anything happened. I went back to foster care until I was old enough to leave. I became a model soon after and my fame started. I never did have love. Ever." She ends.

"But you have your fans." Ava says.

"I don't know any of my fans." She sighs.

"Well why don't you become more active with your fans? They probably feel so distanced from you. Invite them over and connect." Ava says.

"But my fans probably already hate me." She sighs.

"NO! Do you realize how lucky you are to be able to have millions of people to love you? Only to ignore them? There are so many fan pages about you." Ava says getting up.

"Look. They don't want anything to do with me and I don't want anything to do with them." Madonna says.

"Give them a damn chance! I would love to meet my idol and it would make both of you feel better." Ava says.

"I thought I was your idol." I say.

"Sorry hun. But you know your limits when it comes to Anne Frank." Ava says.

I look down disappointed.

"Madonna. Please. Just give it a try." Ava says sitting back down.

"Okay. I will." Madonna says rubbing her temple.

"So you will leave us alone as long as this works?" I ask.

"Yes." Madonna says.

"Thank you." Ava says.

Ava puts her hand out and Madonna shakes it.

"I never knew you had a business side to you Ava." I say nudging her.

"Me neither." She said.

"You guys may leave now." Madonna says.

"I loved to have your stay." She says.

We both get up and leave.

The minute we walk out Ava starts crying.

"Whats wrong?" I ask worried.

"Its just. Her story is so sad!" She bawls.

She cries on my chest.

"We have to help her Michael." She says between sobs.

"We will." I say.
