No mother figure

"Breaking report! Footage broke out of the collapsing of Diana at one of her concerts, her mother has a leg out that she is doing fine and that she was just overwhelmed,"

I sat upon the empty stage while just been deep in my thoughts. I sniffle as tears formed in my eyes. Do I even want to do this anymore? That thought hit me hard, this is to much for me.

Later on

Awards night I sat in front as I looked upon the stage with the performances they had, all in my head was when I fainted on stage that's other night, my mother pushed me way to far. "Alright it's time for the awards," the host says, I sighed because I knew it wasn't me.

"For the pop music awards isss..Michael Jackson," she announces everyone stood and clap there hands as a certain familiar face walks from the other side of the stage, I gasp I seen him before, he takes the award and smiles "thank you, this is such an honor," he said my face was in shock and confusion because I know that face.

Next day

I couldn't get him out of my head I know I recognize him from somewhere! I text my best friend Janet and told her to come over, once she does I pulled her in my room quick "girl what's up?" She asks "you know Michael Jackson right?" I ask "yea he's my old brother," my eyes went wide mouth dropped to the floor! "Don't tell you didn't know," she smirks "I'm just tryna figure out because I know I seen him before way back but don't remember," I said "oh yea you met him at the block party," then boom! It hit me I knew it! "I freakin knew it!" I shouted "I just couldn't remember when, but wow," I said.

She chuckles "you should meet him," she said my eyes went wide I shook my head quickly "oh nooo ion think that's a good idea," I said "why not? I mean he is a singer, he can help you with your music," she said I sighed shrugging "I don't know Janet," she smirks "alriiight, if you say so, well I have to go I have practice to go to," she stood I did as well and hugged her "okay," I said.

Next day

"So.. what happened that other night of your performance?" The reporter asks while she sat in front of me "I passed out" I answered.

"Did anything happen before the performance? Did you take any..drugs?" I got offended by her question I cocked an eyebrow "no" I answered, "what was the reason then? Your mother has said you took steroids, you've bee-" "I'm sorry what did you say? My mother who birthed me said what?" I leaned up in my chair "she said you took steroids," she spoke my face was just like wow, i scoff then give her a side eye from backstage even John gave her a disappointed look, "my mother has me working every single day! I barely slept, every morning I wake up I go straight to practicing straight to making more music, I never got to do anything fun in life," I said.

"So your mother basically controlled you?" She asks I nod leaning back "she did, I never really got to experience much till after high school, I- I don't even wanna talk about that, but she has made me work my ass off for what? I'm not even no type of star, yes I got fans but she says it's not enough," I said looking down at the floor, "how long have your mother been like that?" She asks "since I was 13," I said lowly.

After that interview I went all types of viral, it's been getting a lot of attention especially to the press that there's rumors of me taking drugs and mother being in control of me. John was already arguing to my mother about this, I sat in my room. "Hey girl you alright?" Janet asks from the phone "yea, I'm alright," I sighed.

"Why you didn't tell me what's going on? I could've pulled some strings," she says I shake my head "no it's fine, I guess, I just need to find my own way," I said scratching my head, "I think it's best if I just cut it off with my mother completely this shit bruh," I huff a knock came to my door making me look up "I'll call you back," I said "okay bye" she says I hang up and stand up walking to my door I opened it.

It was my mother, "what" I said "why would you say that on live television Diana!" She raised her voice "well everyone needs to know how much of mother you are," she smacks me, I held my face before looking at her, tears filled my eyes I stomp to my loathes and started gathering my stuff "you're not going anywhere!" She grabbed my hair pulling me, I screamed grabbing my hair as she forcefully pulls me from my room, "hey! Stop!" Janet yelled "this is nun of your business go home," my mother said I screamed before she slapped me again "shut up!" I cried before I caught my balance.

I stood up before kicking her in the stomach and then ran to my room. I lock the door "I'm calling the cops! This not right!" I hear Janet yell, I cried hard a knock came to the door and I screamed "hey, hey it's me," a soft voice came, I cry more as I went to the door carefully, "come through the window," I said closely to the door, there was nothing after, I unlock my window as Janet came through she hugs me tightly "oh my gosh Diana, it's okay you're safe now, you can come over to my house," she said I nodded before packing almost all my clothes.
