I ran down the stairs and got into the car. Michael was hopping on one foot while trying to get his other shoe on and hopping out the door. Michael finally got into the car and I pulled off in a rush.

Michael: Okay, will you please tell me what's going on?

Suesie: I will later on but for right now we gotta get to their house.. Which sister did you call?

Michael: Rebbie.. But LaToya picked up instead.

Suesie: That's very unusual..

I said pulling up in Rebbie's driveway. I just barely parked when I hopped out of the car. Michael came rushing after me and stopped me at the door.

Suesie: What are you doing? Get out of my way!

Michael: No Suzanne.

Suesie: Do you not care about your sister's lives?

Michael paused.

Michael: What are you talking about?

Suesie: I-.. I'll tell you when we get home.

Michael: No Sue. Let me know now.

Suesie: Get out of my way and I will!

I said pushing him from in front of the door. I tried to open the door but it was locked so I knocked on the door until is couldn't anymore. Nobody answered the door, nobody made a sound but me, and nobody could make me feel better. I was grieving for my sisters and I couldn't get over the fact that my sisters might be dead. I felt arms wrap around me but they were to loose and small to be Michael's. I looked at the person with tears filled in my eyes and I saw the one person whom I thought was dead and hated me.

LaToya: Suzanne? What's wrong?

I looked at her and my eyes widened. I grabbed her and held onto her as if my very life depended on it.

Suesie: I thought you were dead.. I'm so sorry about last night. I pray that you don't hate me.

LaToya looked at me with a convoluted expression and wiped my tears away.

LaToya: I could never hate you. I'm just upset about what you said and how you said it to me.

Suesie: I know.. I am so sorry sister. I treasure you and I never meant to hurt you..

LaToya held me tighter.

LaToya: I know Sue. I know.

I looked up at her with a serious expression on my face as my tears streamed down it.

Suesie: I would kill the very person who harms you in any type of way.

She looked at me convoluted..

LaToya: What is possessing you to say that? I mean.. I would do the same but why are you saying this?

Suesie: I thought that.. That he was here.

LaToya thought about it and her face went completely contorted.

LaToya: Why would you think that?

Suesie: Because Michael said that-.

LaToya rolled her eyes as she loudly blew out air.

LaToya: I'm sorry.. Go on.

Suesie: Michael said that when you were on the phone, your voice was uneasy and you said for us not to come here.. But deep down inside, you knew that you wanted us to come..

LaToya gave me a motherly look that said 'He said what now?' and I knew that LaToya, & I had quite a few bones to pick with Michael..

LaToya: Why on earth would he-? You know what.. Nevermind. Lets go inside.

Suesie: Alright..

LaToya wiped my eyes once more and she opened the door. I walked through the door but it was dark. LaToya flipped on a light and I saw the unpredictable..

Jackson: SURPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZANNE!

Oh shit.. How could I forget my own birthday? I jumped and held my head as I closed my eyes tightly. I opened them slowly and looked around. I am so lucky to have a family like this. I smiled and the party began. We had so much fun but in the middle of it, I received a present from Janet.

Janet: Suzanne! I have a present for you.

She whispered to me.

Suesie: Thank you.

I said admiring the box.

Janet: Go try it on.

Suesie: Alright.

I went upstairs and laid the box down on the toilet seat. I opened it and smiled once I saw it. It was a red and black dress that was kind of short but beautiful. I loved it. I put on the dress and called Janet up.

Janet: Do you like it?

Suesie: Janet.. I Love It.

She beamed and I found it truly adorable.

Janet: Come downstairs after I call you down.

Suesie: Alright.

Janet: And keep the dress on too!

Suesie: I will!

Janet ran down the stairs and the room became quiet.

Janet: Suzanne! You can come down now!

Suesie: Alright!

I opened the door and saw everyone gathered around the stairs. Michael was looking at me and I knew what was up. Mom was smiling at me, my brothers were staring with awe, and my sisters were giving each other a grin. When I came down, mother embraced me with a hug.

Katherine: You look beautiful.

I kissed her cheek and the party resumed. Michael walked over to me and pulled me to the side.

Michael: Do you realize how sexy you look?

Suesie: Do you realize that everyone can tell?

Michael looked down and sighed.

Michael: My pants are black. Nobody will notice.

Suesie: Sure they won't.

Michael: Anyway.. I want to go home.

Suesie: But I haven't even got to eat the cake or open up the presents yet!

Michael grinned.. I got the message.

Suesie: You are very dirty..

Michael: Not that dirty.

Suesie: I want to have fun here first. Can you wait a few more hours?

Michael shook his head.

Michael: No.

Suesie: Go take a cold shower then.

Michael: It doesn't help anymore. I'm immune to it.

Suesie: Damn..

Michael gave me a look..

Michael: I'm sorry, what did you say?

Suesie: I said dang..

Michael nodded. Just then LaToya came over to get me.

LaToya: Come on Sue! It's cake eating time!

I was dragged over to the table and cut the first piece. It was very big. I took a piece in my hand and signaled Michael to come over. I took a piece on the fork and then smashed the rest of the cake in his face. Everyone laughed as Michael made a devious contorted smile. I couldn't stop laughing and I knew Michael was upset. I gave Michael a towel and led him upstairs to the bathroom.

Michael: Why did you do that to me?

Suesie: I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back. I knew that you'd be upset but I also knew that I wouldn't regret it.

Michael shook his head.

Michael: Just like I can't hold back this?

Suesie: Wha-.

Michael cut me off with a kiss and I got cake on my face.

Michael: Now I can have my cake and eat it too.

I hit his shoulder.

Suesie: Let go! This is your sister's house, not ours!

I said prying Michael's hands from around my waist.

Suesie: We could've been done by now.

Michael: My face is not important.

Suesie: I knew I shouldn't have came up here with you.

Michael chuckled.

Michael: Well, you did.

Suesie: Just sit down..

I said pointing to the toilet seat. Michael grinned and sat down.. On the counter. Oh well, easier for me.

Suesie: Here.

I said handing him the towel. He looked at it and then at me.

Michael: What?

Suesie: Clean yourself up. I'm going back downstairs.

I said opening the door.

Michael: No you're not.

Michael said grabbing my arm.

Suesie: Mike!

I whined.

Michael: Close the door.

We had a stare-down for the longest but I didn't win.

Suesie: Fine.. What now?

I grumbled.

Michael: Come here.

He said pulling me towards him by my arm.

Suesie: You better wipe off that cake before the flies eat you up.

Michael: They're gonna eat you up too.

Suesie: Not true!

I said as I took the towel away from Michael and began to wipe my face.

Michael: No!

Michael said snatching the towel away from me and pulling me close.

Suesie: Let me go!

Katherine: Michael? Suzanne? What's going on in there?

I was about to say something but Michael covered my mouth.

Michael: Nothing mother.

Oh the lies!

Katherine: Come back down here with us, everyone wants to see you.

Michael: Yes ma'am.

I licked Michael's hand and he let go.

Suesie: Mom! Michael is-.

Michael kissed me but he wasn't trying to be romantic.. He was sucking the cake off of my lips and I couldn't pull away because he had my lips locked between his teeth. When Michael finally let me go, I wiped my mouth as he licked his lips.

Suesie: You are so nasty!

Michael: At least the cake is off of you.

Suesie: You still need to clean yourself up.

Michael's eyes softened along with his voice.

Michael: Why don't you do it for me?

Suesie: You're not a baby. You have two arms and two hands, use them.

Michael: Oh you mean like this?

Michael said gabbing me by the waist.

Suesie: No, you know very well what I meant.

Michael: I'm using them, aren't I?

Suesie: Not correctly.

Michael grinned again.

Michael: Then maybe I should do this then.

Michael said squeezing my ass.

Suesie: Michael! Stop!

I yelled in a whisper. Michael just did it again.

Suesie: Stop it Mike.

I said grabbing his hands.

Michael: Or what?

Suesie: I will call mom up here.

Michael: Oh you wanna bet?

Suesie: Yes, MOM!

I yelled. Michael didn't catch me in time to stop me.

Michael: No one is going to come up here.

Suesie: But if they don't come up, I'm going down and away from you.

I said grabbing hold of the doorknob. I opened the door and sprinted down the stairs. LaToya saw me and pulled me to the side.

LaToya: Where have you been?

Suesie: Michael kept me upstairs in the bathroom and refused to let me out.

LaToya giggled.

LaToya: You two never quit.

Suesie: It wasn't me!

LaToya: I know.. Anyway. I want to take you tonight to have some fun.

Suesie: I have a baby on the way Toya and I don't drink.

LaToya: Don't worry! This is completely child appropriate.

Suesie: I don't know..

LaToya: Please? This will be our sister time.. To prove it to you, I'll bring Janet.

Suesie: Perfect.

I smiled. LaToya hugged me and we went to sit down. Michael soon came down the stairs searching for me and eventually found me.

LaToya: So what do you think?

Suesie: That sounds great!

Michael: Hello Toya. Mind if I steal my wife away for a moment?

LaToya: No problem.. Just make it PG.

Suesie: Toya!

Michael laughed.

Michael: So what were you talking about?

Suesie: LaToya wants to take me somewhere with Janet for sister time.

Michael: When will you be back home?

Suesie: I should be back before dinner.

Michael: Nine then?

Suesie: Somewhere around there.

Michael pouted and leaned in close to my ear.

Michael: Just don't take too long.

Suesie: Ten it is! LaToya!

I said getting up. LaToya came over and was filled with joy.

LaToya: What he say?

Suesie: Nine..

LaToya: Perfect!

Suesie: Yes. Plenty of time for us.

Michael: Be back by nine baby.

Suesie: Eleven it is! Boy, I love you for giving me this much time with my sisters!

Michael shook his head and walked away.

LaToya: Michael looks sad Sue.. Maybe you should tell him that you're kidding.

I looked at Michael with his back against the wall and sighed.

Suesie: I guess you're right.. I'll be back.

I walked over to Michael and he saw me just before I got there.

Michael: You're gonna make it twelve now?

Suesie: Mike.. You know I'm just kidding around. I could never do that to you. I'd miss you too much.

Michael: I don't believe you..

Suesie: Mikey..

I said into his ear. Michael's eyes closed and let a breath escape past his lips. I kissed his ear and he bit his lip.

Suesie: Oh well.. I tried.

I said turning to walk away. I felt something grab a hold of my arm and pull me back.

Michael: Just don't make me wait too long..

He semi whispered to me.

Suesie: Alright Mikey.. I'll try to be a good girl.

I walked away and joined LaToya and Janet.

LaToya: Ready to go?

Suesie: Yes I am. Let's go!

I smiled as we all went to the car.. This is going to be fun!
