Chap.19

-FINALE- 

When we get to the apartment building it was brown with a new kind of touch to it. Michael creaked open the door and I got off his back. We went in and he opened a door on the left. Light came out because it was already 6 in the morning.

I see to my surprise Zi playing video games. She wasn't a teenager any more she looked pretty old around my age. Probably 26.

Michael walked in and faced her.

"We have a visitor." He said.

Zi didn't look from her screen.

"Who?" She asked.

I walked from behind the door and I looked at her clearly. She took a glance at me then took a second look. She dropped her remote and ran straight towards me. She jumped on me toppling us both down. She looked at my face and started crying.

"Oh, how I missed you Nina." She said.

She just started crying and laughing at the same time on me.

I smiled and patted her back. 

She got off and slapped Michael.

"Why didn't you tell me she was here?" She said.

"I just di-" Michael tried to say.

"I don't even care, as long as she is here." She said holding her hand out on Michael face.

"What is all that racket?!" I hear a familiar voice yell.

I sit up to and I hear footsteps. To my surprise I see my dad. He looked quite older now. He saw me and gaped.

I ran up to him and I jumped on him. I started hugging him really tight. My father slowly wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. I felt him shaking.

"My little girl." He whispered.

He broke down crying at once. 

"I missed you darling. So very much." He said.

"I did too daddy." I say crying.

I hear Zi yell from behind me, " Group hug!" 

I feel as Michael and Zi crowd on me and we all hug. It felt so nice. I wanted to stay like this forever, until Zi sneezed.

"Ew." Michael says getting off.

I get off too feeling snot on me.

"Seriously Zi?" I ask.

"Sorry guys." She said.

My dad started laughing with tears in his eyes. 

"Wha?" I hear someone say from behind my dad.

We all turn around to see who it was. It was the queen. Zi's mom.

She was wearing regular human clothes and she looked pretty human except for the wings in the back of her.

"Hey." She said looking at me.

She hugged me. 

"Family reunion!" Zi yells.

"Oh we should tell you. We are kind of sisters now." She said.

"What?" I ask confused.

"Here is the deal. Your dad fell in love with my mom. They didn't get married though." She said.

"That is interesting." I say.

"Player." I say nudging my father's arm.

His face was red.

We all had a long talk at the table with a huge meal. I hadn't noticed I was hungry until I smelled the food. We all reconnected and we had some cries and laughs. Michael even held my hand under the table. He would squeeze it when soft topics would come up.

"Do you remember being William's slave?" My dad asks me.

"No, and I don't wish to." I say.

Then memories start flooding back and my head does this summersault in my skull. I fall to the ground everything blacking out. I hear everyone screaming my name. I am twitching a lot. But once I feel Michael's touch on my skin I am back.

"Are you okay Nina?" He asks me lifting my head slowly. I grab on to his shirt and I bury my face in his shirt. I couldn't cry anymore so I just sat there in Michael's shirt.

"No more." I hear Michael whisper to everyone.

I remove my head from his shirt and I see him doing the "cut it out." Sign.

I laugh. He smiles at me. 

"You dork." I laugh.

He kisses me and we both end up laughing together.

I scrambled up with Michael's help and I sat back down. Everyone looked at me like I might break at any moment. It made me feel sort of uncomfortable. Michael intertwined his hand between mine and made circles on my hand with his thumb. 

"Don't try to remember." Michael whispered to me.

I nodded and finished my soup with the silent table. 

"Hey. Nina, you want to get out of here and get some space?" Michael asks me.

I nod.

"As long as everyone is okay with it." I say.

Everyone agrees and mumbles what they are going to do without me.

Michael smiles and runs with me to a room. I was guessing this was his. He had books on a shelf a few of my pictures on the wall and to my surprise I see a very old Hope laying on his bed.

"Hope!" I yell.

Hope's head picks up at the sight of me. She jumps off the bed and circles around my legs. I pick her up and I pet her. She purrs.

"How is she still alive?" I ask.

"A miracle." Michael said smiling.

We both sat down on his bed and I pet Hope. 

"Nina." Michael calls.

I turn around to face him and he kisses me. I kiss him back. I feel Hope jump off my lap and run off somewhere. I fall on the bed as Michael kisses me.

"Michael." I giggle.

He just smiles on my lips.

"I just can't get enough of you." He said.

"I know." I say.

Michael sits up and so do I. 

I stand up and I look around his room. I spot something glistening in the corner of my eye and I look to it. 

I walk to the closet and Michael is about to say something. I yank it open and I see a naked woman sleeping there! No I'm just kidding. I saw a lock of my hair sitting there and a pin. The pin I used to prick my blood for Michael.

"Oh." I say.

"I'm sorry." Michael said.

"Why are you sorry?" I ask.

"Because, you weren't suppose to see that." He says.

I laugh.

"Michael. Any girl would think this is creepy. But I'm not any girl." I say.

"I know." Michael said.

Michael came next to me and we intertwined hands. He just looked in my eyes and I did to him. I saw sadness and fear.

"Michael. I won’t ever leave you again." I say.

"You promise?" He asks desperately.

"Yes." I say.

"NO! You swear it?" He said squeezing my hand.

I nod.

"Swear it on something important to you." He said.

I put my hand on his cheek.

"I swear it on my father." I say.

He pulled me into a hug.

He whispered, "Thank you." 

I traced my fingers on his chest. Making letters and shapes.

"I want to give you something." Michael said.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Here" He said breaking the hug and walking to a drawer. He pulled out a small box. He opened it to me and in there was a necklace.

"Michael." I say.

He smiled at me.

"I love you Nina." He said.

"I love you so much." I say hugging Michael.

He put the necklace on me and smiled.

"You look perfect." He said.

"Naw." I say.

"Yes. You do. I think you are the most beautifulest person I have ever seen and your heart is pure and filled with love." He said.

"Oh Michael Thank you." I say.

"I want to show you something else." Michael said.

"Yeah?" I ask.

We walk to the window and Michael opens it. The cold wind gushing on us.

"See that tree. That’s where we shall stay." He says.

Before I can say anything we are already out the house and sitting on the tree.

I cuddle against Michael and we watch the sky and the snow, and just life. I felt for the first time like I was nothing. I was just the wind passing by. 

Michael pushes back strands of my hair and I'm back.

"You have changed my life." Michael says.

"I have?" I ask.

"You made me a new person, a better person." He said.

I blush.

"I want to just stay here. Forever." I sigh.

Michael started singing. I felt his body vibrate under me. I started crying not knowing where I got these tears.

Michael was crying as well. As his song came to an end I heard his voice cracking.

I kiss Michael. He kisses me back.

"I feel nuts when I'm around you." Michael said.

"I'm just happy you feel." I say.

Michael laughs and I laugh with him. We watch as the clouds pass and the sun shines on us. Like a spotlight. Just for us.

THE END

(The song Michael sings is in the media)
