Photo 4.

Brandon pulled out the album so often, I found myself browsing through the photos while he was in school. I happen to come across a picture that could've had a lot of scandal around it if I had made the wrong decision.

"Oh wow." I mutter.

I walked in to the HavenHurst residence as if it was my own to see Michael frowning at his arms settling on the marble countertop. "What's up yours Jackson?" I ask, sitting next to him and placing my camera on the counter.

He shushes me and diverts his eyes to Joe's office door. "Joseph is having a meeting with that guy. Don King."

My eyes raise, "the crook?" I ask.

He nods, rolling his eyes. "They're swapping ideas to get people to buy tickets for the tour, Joseph is gonna tell us when they get to an agreement but I don't wanna work with him."

"Oh.." I sigh. "Well maybe they won't agree on anything." I say shrugging.

"It doesn't work like that Sissy, they're contracted together." He says walking out of the kitchen into the foyer.

Moments later, Don and Joseph came out laughing, giving Michael the impression they had came to a decision. Joseph eyes caught up with Michael's and then mine before he suggested Michael and Don take a photo.

Michael looked at me reluctantly as I stammered to find an excuse to not use my camera.

"C'mon Sissy, Michael! Stand next to Don King" Joe blurts.

Michael slumps over as Joseph places his hand on my shoulder to push me in the right direction to take the photo.

"Ok on 3.." I say awkwardly placing my eye to the focus point.

Michael gives me the stiffest smile causing me to giggle quietly as I hit the shutter button.

A few days later as I was over Michael's house, Joseph pulled me to the side to ask me for the photo.

"Yeah I still have it." I reply.

"Well I need it, I wanna sell it to a magazine to show proof that the boys approve of Don King and I's partnership. Of course I'll pay you too."

"But the photo is only of Michael.." I question.

"I know but Michael's the face of the group. It won't matter." He gives me a sly grin I wouldn't trust if I wanted to.

I knew Michael didn't approve of Don King at all and it would've felt wrong to give Joseph that photo behind Michael's back. I nodded and headed back to my house to find the photo and contemplated giving it to him.

I had just had my son and I needed any money I could get, but with my fiancé in the military I knew we'd be fine.

I headed back to the house and told Joseph I couldn't find it, he groaned before waving me off.

"I almost turned on him for a dollar! Shame on me." I scold myself shutting the album.
