June's point of view
Michael is outside, having time with his brothers while I'm sitting on the couch with Janet, LaToya and Michael's parents. Joseph remained silent, he didn't say a word to me since Michael introduced me to him. I don't even know if this is a good thing or not. Maybe he'll talk to me soon; I hope he will, I really want to get along with him. Anyway. Janet and LaToya told me a couple of things about Michael that I didn't know, like how Joseph used to scare him by wearing a monster's mask, or the fact that he put spiders in LaToya's bed. It seems to be only details about his life, but I like to hear it. I really want to know as much things as I can about the man in my life.
"And you, dear, what about your childhood?" Katherine gently asked me.
"It was a lot of fun, too. I used to do a lot of silly things with my brother, Julian. I remember once, he just had his driver's license, and he wanted to brag and take me to the mall, so he asked my father if he could have his car for the day to take me to the mall, and my father being this gentle and giving man agreed. The thing is, when Julian went to the gas station, he put the wrong gas in the car, so we were stuck there because he flooded the engine." I said, giggling as I remember this day like it was yesterday.
Janet, Katherine and LaToya were slightly laughing, and Joseph was just emotionless, I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"So you have a brother? Where does he live?" asked Janet with a smile.
"Um, he passed away seven years ago. He's in God's hands." I said, looking at my lap and then looking at them, forcing a smile.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm sorry for you lost." shyly said Janet.
"Thank you. You couldn't know anyway."
"And what about your parents?" asked LaToya.
"My mom lives in New York by herself, since I lost my dad a month ago." God, I hate this. I don't want anyone to feel pitty for me. I know I don't have the best life, but I'm a fighter, and Michael has helped me a lot through this step of my life. He was always there, he was everywhere and I couldn't thank him enough for this.
"Oh sweetie... I'm so sorry." LaToya told me, rubbing my arm.
"It's ok. Michael has helped me a lot through this." I said, weakly smiling at them. "You raised an amazing man, Mr and Mrs Jackson."
"Thank you, love." said Katherine, smiling. "Anyway, you have new borthers and sisters here. You're a part of this family, now." She gently told me, rubbing my shoulder.
"Thank you so much. It means a lot." I smiled at her. She walked out of the room, and Janet and LaToya followed her giving me a warm hug. This was me and Joseph alone, now.
"What kind of relationship did you have with your father?" Joseph asked me, sitting in front of me.
"After Julian died, he was the only one who succeded in replacing my brother who used to be my confidant, my best friend, the one I could tell everything to. My dad wasn't only my father, the one who gave me birth, he was also my best friend, my other half." I sincerly said, trying not to cry.
"You basically lost the two most important people in your life." Joseph concluded, nodding.
"Yes, sir. But since your son walked into my life, pain seems to be more bearable."
"So you're not going to break his heart?" He asked, emotionless.
"I would never do such a thing on purpose, Mr Jackson. Never." I said, putting my hand over my heart.
