You Ain't Bad || Michael Jackson

Chapter 88: Make Nice?

So, this chapter's gonna go through different people's points of view quite often, and the time of day will, too. Sorry if it gets annoying :O Also, it's the longest chapter I've probably ever written, so I hope you won't get bored :p decide for yourself how pointless the ending is.. xD

*The next day*

*Becky's POV*

So, day one without Michael. It's Ryder's sixteenth tomorrow. I feel a little bad about kicking Michael out, but at least I had reason to. He went too far with Brooke yesterday. Still, he should be lucky I've not, like, divorced him or something more drastic. Thing is, I could murder him now.. but I still love him. However, he needs to get the idea that what he did was wrong, as I'm sure he has. But I'm not ready to talk to him yet.

*Ryder's POV*

It's my birthday tomorrow. Finally gonna be 16. And I can't wait to see Katrice. She is all kinds of perfect.

I change into jogging bottoms before heading downstairs.

"Morning, mum," I greet. I look around for dad. No sign.

"Morning, sweetheart. Sleep well?" mum asks.

"Yeah, uh.. where's dad?"

"Oh, he went out on a trip," Electra answers on behalf of mum.

"A trip?" I ask.

"Yes," mum sighs. "Your father's gone on a trip, and I'm not sure when he'll be back."

"Before my birthday, right?" I ask unsurely.

"I'm not sure, Ryder," mum says.

"Well, ok. My party's still going on, right?"

"Of course."

"Great! See you later," I smirk and leave the room.

*Michael's POV*

I'm missing Becky and the kids like crazy already, and it's been less than 12 hours! I've gotta convince Becky to let me back in the house. I have to. I can't miss my oldest son's sixteenth birthday. It's only gonna happen once, I wanna be there.

I've been sleeping in Neverland, but, like, right at the front of the house, by the gates. Becky won't notice me there, and it's alright to sleep there as well. There's a garage, and I went there last night to sleep.

But seriously, how am I gonna convince Becky to let me back home?

I've got two days to do this.

*Becky's POV, 7 hours later*

I've been rushing around, sorting last minute things for the party tomorrow. I went out earlier to get the phone Michael would have gotten, had he have been here, and I've been finding banners and decorations, that kinda thing.

I've been receiving texts from Michael, and he's been trying to ring me. Most of the time, he's left messages because I've never answered. Most of them saying something like "I'm sorry about what happened, I miss you, I love you," blah blah blah. Should've thought about that before you kissed another girl, Michael.

Apart from that, everything's fine. Dexter's in his room, as is Ryder, and Electra is out with a friend of hers. Meaning.. I'm alone in the house. Normally, that's me and Michael's time, but not today. I'm alone, and so is he.

*Michael's POV*

I've called her, what? Ninety-nine times! She's not answering. I've texted her, left voice messages, everything. You'd think she'd answer one of them, right?
