It's been 3 weeks since you broke up with Michael and you were a wreck. If it wasn't for your best friend Daniel, you'd probably be dead by now.

You regretted breaking up with him after one day and became "ill". You couldn't sleep and didn't want to eat or drink. You were only crying (on Daniel's shoulder, sometimes you even thought how he stands you) and thinking about Michael. The worst part for you was that he didn't even try to talk to you for once during these 3 weeks. Because of that, you thought he didn't love you and that you were only a toy to him, to entertain himself with, whenever he felt bored. And when you were no longer interesting to him, he disposed of you. But then, there was the other side of the story - he had expressed many, many times his love for you and seemed sincere, he even begged you not to leave that night... But again, why won't he try to make up if he loves you so much?

However, Daniel's been a REAL help to you. He convinced you to eat and to pull yourself together. You were looking for a new place and while searching, he let you stay at his place. In return, you would help him with the housework - cook, clean and things like that (since there's no woman in his house to do this kind of job for him).

He would always cheer you up and make you feel calm - something you didn't have with Michael. You even started feeling loved by him...

When you were in high school, you were in love with him and he - in love with you. He was your first love. You were crazy about him! But, unfortunately, it didn't work out between the two of you because the circumstances didn't allow.

These feelings would return back to you very soon...

It was around 7pm and you were cooking dinner while waiting for Daniel to get back home from work (you worked until 4pm). Finally, you heard someone unlocking the door. It was him. "Hi!" he said with a big smile on his face "Hi, Daniel" you replied smiling, while setting the table "How was work today?". "It was fine like always. We finally managed to finish the presentation for that important project I've been telling you about." he said. "This is great! So now you can relax a little, right?" you asked while placing wine-glasses on the table for you and him. "Yeah I guess so... if they don't come up with something new... It smells so good I can't wait to try it!". You laughed and shook your head "Thank you but I do know what kind of a cook I really am, you can't fool me!" you both laughed and you went on "Dinner's ready, you can go wash and afterwards we can eat!". "YES!! I'm starviiin'..." he said and went to the bathroom.

After having dinner together you decided to let off the steam from work by watching a comedy. Unlike you, he was having fun with the movie. This movie you've watched with Michael before but didn't want to tell Daniel because you saw that he really wanted to see this movie. All you could think about is how Michael held you in his arms while watching, how you rested your head on his chest and he would caress your hair through out the whole movie.

The movie was over and you stood up from the sofa, taking the big bowl of popcorn and coke canes, heading towards the kitchen to clean it up. Then all of a sudden, he grabbed your hand

"YN, can I please talk to you about something?" he asked with a strange look on his face "Yeah, sure let me just get these things t-" he cut you off. "No, I need to talk to you now, please!". "Well, ok, what is it?" you said as you placed the things back on the table and sat down on the sofa, facing him.
"It's just that... well, I don't know how to tell you and I was afraid to but I've been thinking about it a lot and I finally found the courage and I'm gonna say it no matter what!". "It's ok, you can tell me anything!" you encouraged him. He went on "You know... I have this feelings for you..." 'oh God, things are getting serious' you thought "... and you might know about them, you might have noticed but I-I wanted to tell you earlier but you started dating... Michael Jackson" he said it with an attitude "so I couldn't do it.. but now that you're no longer with him, I want you to know that I love you very much and I'd be honored if you agreed to be my girlfriend?" he asked. "Oh, Gosh!" you were surprised "I-I don't know what to say, I mean if I said I don't like you I'd be lying but... ". "But what?" he asked impatiently. "I can't lie to you... I still have feelings for Michael and I can't get over him..." you replied with sadness in your voice. He then grabbed both of your hands in his and "I know, don't worry about that! See... I wanna help you with that! 'Cause he doesn't love you... why won't he come talk to you, try to get you back?" tears started falling from your eyes when you heard those words, it really hurt you. "No, YN, no, please honey, don't cry I didn't mean to make you cry!". "I know... I just I..." you couldn't talk. "I wanna help you forget about him and I know you have some feelings for me even if they're tiny. I'll try and do my best to make 'us' work." you sighed. "You can't wait for him forever!". "I'm not waiting... I just don't wanna hurt you!" well, to be honest, you were waiting for him. " Don't think about hurting me, that's not important!".

In the end you agreed to be his girlfriend and try to forget Michael. But you also told him not to expect too much from you and not to be disappointed if it didn't work out. He, of course agreed, and you were stepping into this relationship very slowly - you didn't want to make love to him while still thinking about Michael.

More days were passing and as each day passed you lost a part of your hope that Michael might come talk to you. You were thinking maybe you should talk to him? But yet, it wasn't your fault that you broke up... and you were almost convinced that he didn't love you. And if he didn't want to talk to you, which you thought was the case, even if you did try to call him or go to Neverland, his people won't let you approach him. They'll throw you away like some dirty dog! So everything was up to him.

Anyway, this is how you spent your days: in the morning you and Daniel would have breakfast and then go to work together. After work you would meet somewhere and go out for a drink or to eat something, walking hand in hand - something you couldn't do with Michael 'cause he's MICHAEL FREAKIN' JACKSON, he can't go out like this! Then you would take a walk in the park, holding hands, and when it got dark, get back home. You actually started enjoying this, he made you feel good, he, unlike Michael, gave all of his attention to you, talked with you and listened you. The feelings you had for Daniel in college really started coming back to you and sometimes you thought this relationship might turn out amazing until....

One night Daniel had to do extra work and called you on the phone to say not to wait up for him. You were just washing the dishes when the doorbell rung. You quickly dried your hands and went to get it. As you opened the door you almost fainted! It was Michael...

"Hi." he said with the calmest voice ever.
"What do you want?" you asked dryly, trying not to show him your real feelings - on the inside you were simply euphoric to see him again. He looked good as always.
"I want to see how you're doing... to talk to you about things..."
"What things?"
"Some things... May I come in?"
"NO!" you were sharp.
"Well, in that case we'll have to talk here until someone comes and sees me and calls the press and all those paparazzi come and start t-to-" you cut him off.
"Geez, alright, you can come in."
"Thank you." he came in and looked around the apartment.

"So, what do you wanna talk about?" you got straight to the point and crossed your hands together "Wait! How did you even found me??" yeah, how did he find you? You never told him where you were!
"The landlord of this building is a friend of my friend and he told my friend about you and my friend told me about it." what what? Your brain needed a second to understand this information.  
"Anyway, what do you want from me?" you got back to the point.
"I want you." he calmly said.
"Ha!? You want me?"
"Yes."
"AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME?!"
"I know... I wanna talk about that... YN, baby, I made a terrible mistake and I'm really sorry about that!" he seemed sencere "I want you back! Please..." the words you've been longing to hear for eternity... finally came through his mouth.
"Michael, it's not gonna work.. I'm gonna come back and after some time it's gonna be the same. If it didn't work the first time, it won't work the second!".
"YN, would you just please listen to me? Please let me tell what's on my mind girl! Give me this chance?" you nodded your head 'yes'. "I know I was terrible to you and neglected you and hurt you and tried to rape you but I didn't mean all that! I was so stressed out from work and from all the problems I've been having with the media and with my health and skin disease... And they were pushing me to get the video done as quickly as possible... But when you left I realized how much I love you and that I can't live without you! Neverland is not the same without you! I'm not the same without you... It's so... empty!! " His eyes became watery and few tears escaped his eye. "I only want a second chance to prove you that I can be the man you fell in love with and no matter how much stress I go under, I'd never repeat those mistakes again!"
"Michael, why didn't you come earlier to me? WHY?" you wanted to know so badly...
"Because I... when you left, I started drinking a lot to forget the pain and emptiness... and it got real bad. I had to go to a rehab. I would drink to the point where I'll faint and I couldn't stop! I won't eat either!" he started crying and fell on his knees in front of you. You did the same thing to get on his level but he was looking down. "I didn't want you to see me like this and I thought that you don't love me anymore after everything I did because you never tried to contact me!" Oh no, you knew you should have called him!
"Michael.." you said as you pulled him in for a hug. He started crying and shaking even more. You buried your hand in his hair and started gently caressing him to calm him down "Don't cry, please...". You were rocking him in your arms like a little baby. You felt so happy to have him back in your arms, to be able to bury your face in his hair, to breath in his sweet scent, to feel his heart beating...

You heard the sound of someone unlocking the door. It was Daniel, coming back from work.

"What on Earth is going on in here?" he asked as he saw the two of you on your knees on the floor, passionately hugging and crying. He came closer and pulled Michael away from you. He got back on his feet and you did the same thing. "You know... you're touching my girlfriend!! HA!?" Daniel said with anger.
"GIRLFRIEND?" Michael asked amazed, he didn't know about Daniel, and looked at you.
"I-I I can explain!" you said but Daniel didn't let you finish "Don't worry honey, I'll explain him for you! LISTEN MR. KING OF POP, YN is mine! You let her down, she forgot about you and now she's with ME! So if you would please GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!" maan, Daniel was angry.
"Is this true, YN?" he grabbed your shoulder so that he look in to your eyes. "Yes but - " Daniel didn't let you finish again. "You heard her, now get your STUPID ASS OUT OF MY APARTAMENT!".
"WHATCH YOUR MOUTH!" Michael said as he grabbed Daniel and pushed him away so that he fell on the floor. "Oh, God!" you were afraid. Daniel got up and started attacking Michael. "Please no STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!" you screamed as you saw this turning into a fight when Daniel hit Michael and he hit him back. You had to do something. If a neighbor saw this, they'd immediately call the police and the press will come when they see it's Michael Jackson. So... the only thing you could do is stand between the two of them.

It worked and they stopped fighting, not wanting to end up hurting you.

"STOP IT JUST STOP! YOU'RE A GROWN MEN, YOU CAN'T FIGHT LIKE THIS!!" you yelled at them. They were breathing heavy and now a little calmer Michael said.
"You're right... I can't fight for something that was never mine anyway!" he meant you and that your love for him was never real. You couldn't believe this!! He didn't trust you! If he didn't trust you back then he won't be able to do it in the future! You realized this relationship was indeed doomed... And you were so angry at his last words... He gave up so easily on you... You burst out crying.

He walked out the door, leaving. "Yes! LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK EVER AGAIN!" Daniel said and slammed the door behind him like BAM! "YN, honey, don't worry.. It's gonna be ok.." he said as he held you in his arms to calm you down. You accepted the fact that you and Michael had no future together and this time really tried to move on. It was so hard for you... Michael was everywhere...

One night, after few weeks of piece, something strange happened.

Few days earlier, at Neverland

Michael, being all alone in his huge bedroom, was slowly pouring red wine into his glass. It was a dark night and only the fire from his fireplace brought some light in to his room. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts about YN. He couldn't stop thinking about her although he really did try to forget her. He gave his best. He tried to convince himself that he hated her and that she was bad for him! He even hooked up with other women, desperately hopping that they would make him forget her, even if it was for the moment... But it didn't work. It only made it worse. He started comparing them with YN, he couldn't stand their voices while having sex with them, he couldn't stay no other woman's voice unless it was YN's, they would get on his nerves with their stupid stories and blabber... He was going CRAZY. 'I can't stay anymore like this I have to do something! Why did I leave her with him that night, WHY? I can't believe I'm this stupid IDIOT! I should've dragged her with me and not care about her feelings for him! She must really love him... And here I get angry and jealous because it's not me! God, I can't stay the thought of someone else touching her and she enjoying it... and and... she completely erased me from her life...' he burst out crying again. He threw away the glass in anger and made the carpet in his bedroom red. He then took the bottle and started taking big sips from the wine and did the same thing with it - but this time the bottle hit the fireplace. 'Useless alcohol... It won't help me anymore.. I have to do something... I really gotta do something and do it now!' he grabbed his phone and dialed

"Yes, boss?" a heavy voice came through the phone.
"I need you to get the boys right now and get the car ready... we have some business in the city..." he hung up.

Michael knew where this Daniel worked - he knew everything from his friend. And that was exactly where he was going. He also knew that Daniel, very often, had to stay late to do extra work and if he had luck today, Daniel would still be there working.

The driver parked the car in front of the building, where Daniel worked. Michael looked through the window and saw the lights were still on and there were people inside. He had luck! He saw Daniel inside. So all he got to do was wait...

Daniel finally finished work and headed home. He now came out, through the big glass door of the building, and was on the street, going towards his car.

"That's him! Go get him NOW" Michael yelled at his men and they quickly jumped out of the car and within few seconds were with Daniel. They dragged him to the car, Michael could see he took out his mobile phone to call the cops maybe, but Michael's people quickly took it away from him. They finally came to the car, opened the door and pushed Daniel in.

"So it was you. I should've guessed! THE FUCK DO YOU WANT THIS TIME?" Michael was so angry to see again the man who stole his girl away from him but tried to remain calm.
"I'm gonna offer you a deal. And you better listen well 'cause I'm not gonna repeat myself!" he said with an attitude.

Few days later, at Daniel's apartment, you were waiting for him

You heard someone unlock the door and, as usual, it was Daniel. His facial expression was not pleasant at all. "I need to talk you."
"Ok, let me just set the table and we'll ta-"
"NO, NOW!" he seemed angry, but about what?
"Oook, I'm listening?"
"I want you to pack your things and leave my apartment now. It's over! I don't wanna see you anymore, ever again!!!"
"But.. but why? Did I do something?" you simply didn't know where you were... The man who has always offered his help to you, now walks in and says he doesn't want you anymore?
"No, it's me. I don't want to be with you anymore I realized that I don't love you enough. I met another woman and I love her! And you know what? I have sex with her.. something you don't give me! Now please take your things and leave!" it was late and he knew you didn't have anywhere to go to.
"Ok but can I at least wait till tomorrow I don't know where I'm gonna go and I just paid.. and I don't have money and.."
"NO I SAID NOW" he yelled at you. You got scared that he was getting violent and might hit you or something. So you quickly took your suitcase, packed your things, and left.

You weren't disappointed or hurt that he threw you out, after all you didn't love him the way he wanted you to love him. And you couldn't blame him - he probably got sick from waiting for you to answer his feelings. You still loved Michael and maybe he was able to sense that. Anyway, the only problem is that it was late at night, you had nowhere to go, no money, only this big suitcase. This area of the city wasn't the safest and you were afraid. You had to do something, you couldn't stay on the street any longer.

You knew only one person whom you could call - Michael. You didn't like this idea at all but unless you wanted to stay here.... No, that was not an option, it was too dangerous. Maybe Michael would understand you and help you. You felt so stupid and useless for having to ask him for help...

You took the phone and started dialing his number, hoping that he won't hung up when he hears your voice. He picked up

"Hello?"
"Ahh, H-hi, Michael, it's YN... I ahhh..." you started talking but then stopped.
"What is it? Is something wrong? TELL ME!" he insisted and, man, you were so happy that he did!
"Well.. I got myself in trouble... again..."
"Tell me!"
"It's a long story, Michael and-"
"Where are you?" you didn't know exactly where you were as you were simply walking without direction.
"That's a long story too..." you had the feeling he asked you that because he wanted to come get you, so you decided to risk and ask him to come get you "Listen, Michael.. I'm really sorry I'm calling you at this time of the night and I know I'm probably a burden to you... but I'm on the street right now and I have nowhere to go and I'm afraid.. I have no money and-" he cut you off
"Where are you?" he asked the same question again. You looked around to see the name of the street and told him. "Stay there. I'm on my way to get you." he hung up.

Your instincts that he wants to come to you, didn't lie. After all, you've spent almost a year with him.. you knew him!

You did as you were told. You stayed there until he came. He stopped the car right in front of you. He was driving and this time, was alone, no bodyguards.

He reached out his hand towards the opposite other door and opened it for you. You threw your suitcase on the back seat and sat on the front beside him. Without saying nothing he started driving, direction - Neverland. Once you got there you had dinner in the library next to the fireplace so that you could warm up because you were freezing from staying so long out on the street.

"So, you wanna tell me what happened?" he finally broke the silence then you started crying and told him everything. He took you in his arms and comforted you, calling Daniel different names for throwing you out like this. He also said he still loves you no matter what and wants you back, promising you the things he promised earlier in Daniel's apartment. Without hesitation, you said 'yes' to him because you loved him so much and no matter what he did to you, or will do to you, you wanted him back too and were so unhappy without him. Daniel... well in the moment you took Michael in your arms that night, you realized you had no feelings for any other man unless it's Michael. But things happened so fast you got so angry when all you had to do is run after Michael. You can't change the past but you can fix your mistake now.

Michael took you to your bedroom, you laid down and he cocooned you with his body. For the first time in a long time you fell asleep happy.
