you were mine...
Four years later (Nicole's POV)
I am heartbroken. He promised he would write, which he only did once. I did as I promised and earned $300 for my flight to California but when I went there, I stopped by the address that was on the envelope Michael had sent. No one lived there anymore...
I decided to rent a small apartment in California. I got a job at Disney! The one place I have grown to love about California. I really love this job, you get to see all people from young to old, woman to man, have the time of their life. Live their childhood. Which also saddens me, me and Michael were deprived of our childhood at a very young age, but we tried to have fun every time that we had together,and that's all that mattered.
I sit by the small pond at Disney where I currently work at the ice cream stand. An older Lady walks up to me and orders a sundae, I look behind her and see an older man with her holding a young child. I make her order and hand it to her with a smile, she notices my bracelet and smiles back.
"That's very sweet that you and your boyfriend have matching bracelets" she says to the blue and white braided bracelet with a silver plate with me and Michael's initials in the middle of it. I quickly blush and shake my head.
"No, no. Me and Michael aren't dating we made these when we were children before he moved." I smile as she nods her head trying to understand the situation. She then grabs the mans fragile hand and walks off. I let out a breath and continue my joy bringing job.
And from afar I hear it. The band. They always come through the park around three o'clock in the afternoon but today they came a little early. They stomp through the crowd and stop just a little bit ahead of me. The leader of the band steps ahead and greets the crowd.
" Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I am here to introduce you to someone extremely special to us, he is one of a kind and a true child at heart. He is the one and only Michael Jackson."
My. Heart. Dropped.
The man goes back through the band and hands a tall guy with shades and really curly hair the microphone. I figure that it may have jut been one of Michaels staff members until I hear the guy talk. Tears fog my eyes as I see my best friend ahead of me speaking.
Memories fill my mind and a sudden sadness fills my heart. What if he forgot about me...
Michaels POV
I speak to the small crowd softly. I am scared of their judgement. I continue to talk as the band backs away from me, I explain the show that I was doing tomorrow in front of the castle. The crowd claps for me and I give the microphone back to the man. I see a woman around my age run up to me, a little scared I watch as I notice that she doesn't have a book or anything with my face on it in her hand. She wears a striped aporon and I know she works here. She come close to me and I notice that she is crying. She whispers my name and attacks me with a hug. That's when o feel it, déjà vu. It felt so familiar she looked so familiar but I can't remember. I hug her back right before she pulls away. She grabs my wrist and examines them for a moment. She sees the bracelet that I had got from my very best friend Nicole and smiles brightly.
"Michael!" She screams attacking me with another hug. I get extremely confused as my bodyguard walks up slowly behind me.
She pulls away slightly and holds her hand in front of my face. I look at her and then her hand and see the cherished item she had kept for all these years. The matching bracelet.
"Ni-n-nicole?" I stutter
"Yes!Michael its me!" She smiles.I feel overwhelmed with happiness and pick her up. I spin her around and hold her in my arms for a while.
"I missed you so much, you don't even understand" I whisper into her ear.
"Then why did you never write me back? I Waited for your phone call, I brought a ticket here to see you, you weren't here. What happened?" She asks as people surround us with cameras. Without thinking I pull her arm and run through the crowd to my resorte. I run her up to my room and shut and lock the door. I turn to her and smile. She gives me a saddened look and looks down.
"Nicole, I don't know what happened to all of my letters, I really did send you one everyday, I even sent you presents. I really don't know what happened I promise." I say sitting next to her. She looked up and gave a small grin.
"I believe you Michael, I just want to begin where we left off." She says softly, I look into her bright brown eyes and chuckle. The last time I remembered seeing her was when we had cried in front of the doorway of my old house.
"So what do you want to do?" I ask.
Nicole's POV
He is beautiful. The last I remember of Michael was when he had a giant afro and a young spirit. I remember that he was the cute shy boy that you may have seen in the back of the classroom, alone, the one who didn't have any friends because he was afraid of being judged. Now we have grown he has became a surprisingly handsome man. He waits for my answer but honestly I don't know where to start. I ask him to catch me up on what I missed in the last four years. He goes on to explain the problems with his management and the disaggreements that he always has with his brothers over the structure of their music. He talked about some girl named Tatiana who had tried to use him for his money. He tells me that she tricked him into believing that she loved him and then left him when she got signed for a modeling contract. He tells me about the solo album he is working on and when he plans to release it to the public.
And then it was my turn.
" well when you left I got a job to start saving money for the ticket, when I had enough I took the flight. I used the address from the letter you sent me to try and find you, but when I arrived no one was to be found. I quit my first job and decided to stay here. I rented and apartment downtown and applied for Disney. Of course I got the job. And here I am now finally with my best friend." I smile
"How's Tom?" Michael asks
"My father is fine, I guess."
"What do you mean?" He continued
" Well, I kinda ran away..." I reply
"What did he do when I left?" Michael asks with an angered expression
That went from zero to a hundred real quick....
"What he normally did, nothing new besides not feeding me,but I'm fine" I say patting his shoulder.
" I'm just happy your safe, and we found each other" he remarks calming down
He grabs my arm and heads towards the door.
"Where are we going Michael?"
"To the park, how do you spend all day here and not go to the park?" He scoffs
"Its called work, who has fun there?" I ask
"You should working here" he says as we head on the elevator.
We spent the whole day on the rides that they had down at the park, catching up on the little things that we had missed in each others life. The night came too soon and we had to eventually leave.
"I had a great time today, I'm glad I found you" I say as we walk to the entrance of Disney.
" Me too! When is your next shift?" He asks
"Tomorrow afternoon, around 2:30, why?"
"I wanna help, you work at the ice cream stand right?" He asks
"Yes, but I don't know if I'll have a job after what happened today.... I kinda left my shift when I heard you speaking earlier"
"That's fine, I can speak to your boss or whoever is in charge, I can tell them why you left"
"Well we can only see what happens tomorrow, and if I still do have a job you are more than welcomed to help" I say giving Michael a slight grin.
"Really?!" He says getting overjoyed.
" Yes Michael, you can help. Calm down" I laugh
"Okay, see you tomorrow?" He asks
"Of course, do you want to meet here or at the ice cream stand?"
"Uh....the ice cream stand"
"Okay goodnight Michael." I say giving him a hug
"Goodnight." He says before leaving.
...........IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ.........................
Okay guys thank you for reading my second chapter! I wasn't gonna update but I kinda ran into an issue this week,well mostly today....
My family doesn't like the fact that I love Michael , normally around June they make fun of him in front of my face. Well being the moonwalker that I am I defend him. You may think that its crazy but Michael inspires me to be a better person every time things go wrong, like you rarely seen him getting hella angry and slapping the stupid out of people. Actually I don't think he ever got violent with anyone....
Michael loved the song smile..... which basically states when things go wrong just smile, so there really isn't a point in getting angry at ignorant people because i know that they do things like this to get on my nerve...
Anyway my family loves to pick on him and I hate it...when I try to defend him everything becomes a big argument and I'm the one who has to walk away...
I'm the stupid one to them because I get inspiration from a man they call unmentionable names. The ironic thing is that when one of his songs come on the radio my mom and brother start singing hella loud and dancing, but remember they pick on him. I honestly don't understand them, but they inspired me to write another chapter, I mean I was going to next week but they made me angry, and I tend to draw and write when I'm angry so yea.....
I'm sorry for my rant, but I figured that your a moonwalker if your reading this and some of you may have similar issues with people like this....
I guess we just need to do our best to defend Michael, because in the end we all know that Michael was an innocent man, and it shouldn't matter what color he was, or what he did during his lifetime, he is an inspiration to many of us and deserves more than anyone to be defended.
Thank you and remember to smile!
