Chapter 3

Date: June 5, 1993

Michael's POV

I was on the plane to London for this award ceremony where the London Humane Society is giving me an award for Humanitarian of the Year I was looking out of the window and I sighed

Every since Shayne called me, I've been thinking about her more than  usual, if that's even possible I guess Janet was right about that breakthrough stuff

Julie: Mike.?

Michael: Yeah.?

Julie: We're running late so when we land, we have to go straight to the hotel, you change clothes, and go to the dinner, alright.?

(I nodded. I was used to rushing around because I'm always late. 3 hours later, it was 6:42pm and we landed. We got off the plane and ran to a waiting truck. There were hundreds of fans waiting and I waved at them as we drove away. We got to the hotel 10 minutes later and we hopped out.

I walked up to my room and went straight for the shower. I got out 20 minutes later and dried off. I put on a red military jacket, black pants, and my loafers. By the time I was finished, it was 7:25 and the ceremony started at 8. Me and Julie ran back downstairs and jumped in the car. Jerry drove us to the dinner and we walked in with 10 minutes to spare.)

Michael: Yes.! We made it in time.!

Julie: We always do.!

(We did a lowkey high five and I started to talk to some of the people that were there. At exactly 8, we sat down at the tables and the ceremony started.)

Shayne's POV

I was at this fancy hotel, taking pictures for the London Humane Society because they were having their awards ceremony for all of the honorees Christy was there also but she was a hostess

Everytime an honoree got their award, I took a picture with them and the President of the Humane Society, Jimmy Cross I was refocusing my lens when I heard something that made me freeze

Jimmy: Our last award, The Humanitarian of the Year, is going to a man who is the world's biggest star In spite of that, though, he continues to donate his time and money to various charitable causes

(My eyes widened. Please, don't let him be talking about who I think he's talking about.)

Jimmy: Give a big round of applause for our Humanitarian of the Year, Michael Jackson

(Everyone stood up and applause boomed throughout the room. I stood there and sighed. I looked up at the ceiling.)

Shayne:(Whispers) Seriously.?! I just can't get a break, can I.?!

(Michael walked onto the stage and shook Jimmy's hand. I hesitantly walked in front of the stage and held my camera up. I was hoping that I could just take the picture and sneak away unnoticed. Of course, that didn't work, did it.?)

Michael:(Mouths) Shayne.?!

(I smiled a little and waved at him. He shook his head in disbelief and it looked like he was about to cry. He stepped up to the podium and cleared his throat.)

Michael: Um, I would like to thank the London Humane Society for giving me this award I am truly honored, I really am

(The room clapped.)

Michael: I have always had a love for children and if I could have one wish in this world, it would be that no child would ever have to suffer again Even after I'm dead and gone

(They clapped again.)

Michael: Once again, thank you for this award and I love you all

(The whole time he was talking, he kept sneaking glances at me. He shook Jimmy's hand again and walked off the stage. I sighed and made my way towards the door where Christy was.)

Christy:(Whispers) What are you doing.?!

Shayne:(Whispers) I have to get out of here before Michael tries to talk to me.!

Christy: No.! You are NOT running away.! You've been running for 6 years.! It's time to face the music, no pun intended

Shayne: But, I can't do it.! What do I even say to him.?!

Christy: Well, I suggest you figure something out because he's standing right behind you

(My eyes widened and I slowly turned around. Michael was standing there with his hands in his pockets.)

Michael: Hi Shayne

Shayne: Hello Michael

Michael: I was wondering if maybe I could talk to you outside for a moment

(I looked back at Christy and she nodded her head. I looked back at Michael.)

Shayne:(Nods) Sure

(He smiled and grabbed my hand. He led me outside where there was a bench in front of the river. We sat down and I looked at him.)

Michael: You look amazing, Shayne

Shayne: Thank you You look good yourself

(When I said that, I was serious. His hair had gotten a lot longer and curlier, and his face had thinned out. His skin was paler but I knew it was because of the vitiligo.)

Michael: Thanks So, how have you been.?

Shayne: Pretty good I've been living here for a while now

Michael: That's good

Shayne: I don't even need to ask you how your doing You have another #1 album on your hands.!

(He laughed and blushed a little)

Michael: Yeah It's done pretty good

Shayne: Last I heard, you were on tour

Michael: I'm on break right now We start the 2nd leg in August

Shayne: Cool

(We sat there in a akward silence for a while until I spoke up)

Shayne: I've gotten all your birthday gifts

Michael:(Nods) I see....... You have on the earrings I got you

Shayne: Yeah My favorite color

Michael: Shayne,.........(He scooted closer to me) Did you really mean what you said on the phone.?

(I sighed heavily. Knew this was coming.)

Shayne: Yes, I meant it

Michael: I've missed you

Shayne: I missed you too

(All of a sudden, he grabbed me and hugged me tight. I immediately hugged back. He held me in his arms for at least 2 minutes. I pulled away and looked him in the eyes.)

Michael: What time is it.?

Shayne:(Looks at watch) Midnight

Michael:(Groans) I have to go

Shayne:(Frowns) Why.?

Michael: I have a 6am flight back to the states

Shayne: Oh

(We got up and walked back to the hotel, where Julie was standing outside waiting.)

Julie: Shayne.!

(She ran up to me and hugged me tightly.)

Shayne: Hi Jules.!!

Julie: What are you doing here.?

Shayne: I live here now

Julie: That's awesome (Looks at Michael) I'm sorry Mikey but we have to get going

Michael:(Nods) Alright Go ahead I'll be there in a minute

(She smirked and got in the truck. I turned back to Michael.)

Michael: It was good to see you Shay

Shayne: You too Michael

(He hugged me again and was about to get in the car when I stopped him.)

Shayne: I know your number but you don't know mine

Michael:(Smiles) How about you give it to me.?

(I nodded and Michael got a pen and paper from Julie. I wrote my number down. I handed it to him and smiled.)

Michael: I'll call you

Shayne: I'll be waiting

(He winked at me and hopped in the car. I watched as they drove away. Maybe......... we are meant to be.)
