It's Destined To Be

Chapter One ❤︎

Jazlyn's POV:

I'm just an average seventeen year old girl from Gary, Indiana living my life in a one bedroom house with only my mom. My backstory about my family is that my dad left at a very young age. I don't remember much about him, but turns out he wasn't that courageous man that my mother fell in love with in the beginning of her life, but overall, if we didn't need him before we certainly don't need him weighing us down right now and also who needs him. We won't, we've got the best neighbours in our lifetime, the Jacksons.

We've been close with the Jackson family for many years since we moved to Gary, Indiana but who I am very close with is Michael and Janet, they're my main people. We would always go over there for dinner and usually after dinner I would have a sleepover with Michael. Our sleepovers usually get spent by going outside playing basketball or going to the candy store, but now those golden days are over because now he's usually busy with touring, due to the fact that he is in a band called the Jacksons. I'm proud for the journey but do I miss the old days where we would hang out almost every day.

The solid memory I remember from my childhood was me always going over to the Jacksons house and waiting for Michael to be done rehearsal or from being in the studio. I don't like talking about my last memory of when I last seen Michael it was such a disappointing moment for both of us.

         ~ Flashback ~

I was waiting for him as usual in his living room, my mind wasn't there that day due to the fact that I noticed that Michael's crush on Diana started to grow, I mean it wasn't a surprise to anyone that he had a crush on her. He would always blush, play with his hands and flirt with her anytime she was around, but sometimes I wonder if at some point he had feelings for me. My thoughts got interrupted by the loud sound of the door aggressively shutting.

"I'm not going on tour again I just got back from the last one! I want a normal childhood." Michael's voice echoed through the house.

"Boy! I'm your father, don't speak to me like that." I hear the sound off of Michael's father, Joseph say. I wasn't a big fan of his father, we didn't talk that much but I could always see the fear in Michael's eyes when he was near.

I get up from the couch and rushed to the front door, there I see Michael with a tear slightly going down his face, it was painful to watch.
Michael noticed my presence in the room and started rushing over towards me with arms open.
"Jazlyn. I'm sorry." I hear Michael whisper, before I could say anything I see Michael getting told by his father and pushed outside. I was in a state of shock , confusion and disbelief but I didn't let it get to me, so I rushed outside to where Michael was but it turns out I was too late. The vehicle Joseph was driving started to drive away. Joseph really took and forced Michael to go on tour. I couldn't hold back my tears. The warm tears went all over my cheek. After that I didn't see him since that day.

Jazlyn's POV :
I was waken up by the sun beaming strong in my room. I groan and place my head under the blankets to block out the sun to the best of my abilities while closing my eyes to fall back into deep slumber, but with bad timing my mom comes bursting through my bedroom door.
"Jazlyn wake up, the Jackson family invited us to breakfast remember. I know it's been a long time since you've seen them so don't make a bad impression." I love the family but man I love sleep. I let out a groan and roll dramatically out of bed making a loud thud once connecting with the ground. God, I hate waking up. Makes me miss sleeping already. My mom leaves my room, at my drama queen ways that she swears up and down I get from her. Staying on the ground a few more seconds, I slowly rise to my feet and head to my bathroom in attempts to get ready. I put on my casual summer dress with my white heels, it was summer after all.

I grabbed my sunglasses then my bag than headed out, I wanted to get there before my mother showed up so I could talk to the Jacksons first. I knocked at their door with excitement, I hear the door handle rattle than the door opening to see a beautiful women. I realize it's mother Katherine.
"Oh, Jazlyn come in. Michael and the rest should be here soon, they just got back from being on the road." she says then moves aside so I can get in.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous to see the Michael again. I mean how would you feel reuniting with a childhood friend that you haven't seen in years and the only indication you knew of him was on the news or the word of his mother. I make my way to where the living room is and I look over at a man walking in. He takes off his black sunglasses and looks up at me. He has curly black hair, hanging just above his shoulders. he's wearing a red cardigan, and black trousers. I knew that was Michael, his style was different from his brothers.

"Come on Jazlyn, give me a hug. You have all day to stare at me."
