New York, New York
"Hey everyone! Look what I have." Aliza walks into MJ management office headquarters holding a tray of Ice Coffees. "Is MJ still in his meeting?"
"Yes, they should be done shortly." A pretty young girl with a wide smile says holding her hand out for a hand shake.
"I'm Shana, Shana Mangatal. I'm the new receptionist"
"Welcome Shana. Cute bracelet" Aliza says while shaking her hand and handing her one of the ice coffees.
"Caramel Columbian dark roast w/ whip cream."
"Thank you. I'm a huge fan. You're my second fav artist right now. Michael being my first." Shana says shyly
"Well that we have in common. Nice meeting you. Bye" Aliza smiles and waves away as she walks into the back office.
*ding ding* The elevator opens and Kim walks in...
"Hey, did Aliza go in the back" Kim asks with a dry annoyed tone
"Yes. That way." Shana points

"Michael, we have to listen to what the fans are saying. Just think. If the fans believe they'll never have a chance with you, then it can go bad." Frank says with a Cuban cigar in his hand and his stomach on his legs almost
"Frank. Enough. The fans are loyal. Always and forever. Besides, it's not up for discussion." MJ says bluntly
——
"There you are" Kim says
Aliza jumps and turns around from listening to the meeting conversation outside the door.
"Hey. I was gonna meet you at the hotel before we head to Cali"
"I know. I have to talk to you once we're back home."
"You okay? You seem...sad" Aliza says putting her hand on her back side of her hip
"I'll fill you in later. Is MJ in there?"
"Yeah" Aliza grabs Kim arm to lock it in hers and walks to the front...
"Frank is so mad about me joining the tour. My team managed to put me on the show for the opening show, closing show, along with the major arenas. He had a fit. But hey, I slept well knowing my man is the boss."
"Frank is a mess. He's so fake at that."
"Chile. Say that again. Look MJ may be awhile, let's go grab some of food and chill out. I'm pretty sore from my fall."
"About that. You need to see a doctor. You can not be in third world countries playing with your health. Jeez I'm gonna miss you." Kim says rubbing her temples
"Don't miss me too much because I already have Tess fitting you into the BAD tour as my personal stylist. And you know Tess added you as hers as well"
They laughed
"Girl, I love her. She does not play about you." Kim smiles ear to ear
"We don't call her 'Tess the Best' for no reason...oh let's do movie night tomorrow instead. I forgot I have a meeting with Zo and Gene tomorrow."
"That works. I'm looking forward to the fancy food more than the movie. Wait- I
Lied, Pretty in Pink, is my #1 film right now. I can't wait to get in your comfy bed and watch it."
Aliza giggles and they get into the limo not even paying any attention to the paparazzi and flashing lights.

"Hi, lovely" Frankee says answering the phone
"Hi! How'd you know it would be me?"
"Umm I didn't" they laugh
"Tell mom I said hello and Gogo-"
"Nooo, you tell me, missy" Gogo says in the background
"Guys, I'm sending you all a jet in three days to fly out. Please make sure Izzy brings my notebook in my room. I told her where it was. Besides, I've been calling for her and she hasn't returned any of my calls"
"Well maybe she's busy. Just because we aren't super stars doesn't mean-wait intake that back. I'm kinda a star" Frankee teases
"Ha! Frankee please ask mom and gogo if they'll be cooking...I miss it. And them of course"
"You're cooking is great. Are you eating?"
"Yeah but I'm always on the go and I eat by necessity not for pleasure lately. Hmm, I'm home sick. I thought I'd be use to being here by now but I miss home. The smell. The breeze. The warm mist on the air."
"Honey you can have it. My damn color in my hair sweats every time I walk out the door. I went to the super market and a girl goes 'Omg that's Liza Loves brother. Oh no it's not because his hair is a mess and frankee hair is never a mess'...I was so embarrassed I put my hoodie on in 90 degree weather and walked out."
Aliza laughs hysterically on the phone so bad that she snorts at the thought.
"If only I were there to witness Thee Frankee Love get humbly shaded"
Aliza and Frankee catch up for a few minutes
"Oh-Hey. I have to tell you something" Aliza leads in a serious tone
"I went to see someone and a lot of questions I had were answered. Somewhat. My therapist says I'm suffering from PTSD-"
"Lovely. That explains the nightmares." Frankee says with the phone to his ear and the cord wrapped up against his hand on his chest
"Yes-"
"Don't worry. You'll get through-"
"That's not it. Because of the PTSD shock, I also have MPD. I still haven't accepted that."
"Wait-multiple personalities? What. I never saw it."
"Me either but I guess I wouldn't know. I don't know. Apparently, I try to fight it in my sleep and I sometimes lose control of thought which explains why I zone out a lot. In all honestly, I believe my music has saved me from sinking in. GOOD news is that it's treatable and can be reversed with time and effort. BAD news is-I'm afraid to live in this truth. And I haven't told anyone but you and Kim. I'd like it to stay that way."
"Of course and your truth is that your afraid. That's okay. Work on you for you. The rest will follow."
"Thank you, Frankee. For always being in my corner. Your like food to me-I need you to live. Anywho, guess who finally decided to listen to my song..."
"Noooo-really?!"
"Yess! As if being a singer and girlfriend of Michael Jackson couldn't be any better, Tina Turner is gonna give the ok on one of my songs that I wrote." Aliza squeals
"She's gonna love it! But what's the point?"
"So it's something the music industry does when the label wants new ears for a project. Basically she'll "randomly" listen and vote. And of course Gene was the one to put a bug in her ear. Come with me to record this weekend. I have some songs I want you to hear. I want Izzy there as well. Let me go-I love you all and I can't wait to see you. Muah"
"Love you, lovely." Frankee blows kiss through the phone

"Wheels up guys. I'm gonna rest while we catch the sun" Bill says
I nod and go to lay beside MJ in the room. He's asleep and I just watch him. My legs starts to hurt so I lay down beside him and just play with his hair. Before I knew it I was asleep...
