Who's Bad

New Life

After a few more kicks and screams, Michael somehow managed to get me in the passenger's seat. He climbed into the driver's seat and started the car. I gave him the directions to my house and off we went. We didn't say a word to each other.. It wasn't even five minutes and the silence was driving me crazy.. The least he could've done was turn on some music. I let out a soft sigh and began to play with my fingers.

"Something wrong?"
"No... It's just the silence.... It's nerve wrecking."
"Would you like to listen to some music then your Highness??"
"Yes please."

He gave a small laugh and turned on the radio. The silence was instantly broken by Whitney Houston's voice. OMIGOSH!! This is my song!! I began to sing at the top of my lungs.

" I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you!!!!"

The song ended and so did my singing. I immediately realized where I was and blushed. Most embarrassing moment in my life.

"Damn that was good. Where did you learn to sing like that??"
"Natural talent, I guess."
"I would clap, but I'm driving so yeaaah."

I smiled and looked out the window. Soon my house came into view. He pulled into the driveway and turned off the car. I was about to open the door when he grabbed my hand.

"I got it." he said softly.

He got out and came over to my side. He opened the door and extended his hand. I took it and he pulled me up. Knowing my clumsy self, I tripped over my own feet and went tumbling towards the ground, but Michael caught me just in time. I placed my hands on his chest to keep my balance while his arms were protectively wrapped around my shoulders.

"You know for a girl, you're pretty clumsy."
"Oh whatever!!"
"Awwww don't be mad.. I think it's cute."

I slowly looked up at him and immediately got trapped in his big brown eyes. I swear I was melting in his arms. We were just inches apart.. My head started swimming. I can't believe I was about to have my very first kiss. My face heated up as I felt his warm breath on my lips. Our lips were about to touch until.....

"Girl what the fuck is wrong with you!!! Getting detention like that!! Do you know what that can do to your record!! You won't get into a a good college and you won't get out of this house!!"

My "mom" was standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips and she didn't look happy. I pulled away from Michael and looked down.

"I was just.."
"I don't give a fuck!! Now get your ass in this house!!"
"Well somebody defiantly had bitch for breakfast." Michael mumbled under his breath.
"Can I at least say good-bye."
"Hell no!"
I glanced up at him. "I am so sorry about.."

My "mom" grabbed a handful of my hair and started pulling me towards the house. I tried to break free from her grip, but that only made it worse.

"Hey! Don't treat her like that!!"
"I can do whatever the fuck I want to!! She lives in this house and she will follow the rules!!"
"But you don't need to hurt her!"
"Go to hell you sick fuck!!"

Once we were inside, she slammed the door and threw me on the floor. The wind was knocked right out my lungs. I struggle to sit up and catch my breath. She came over to me and back-handed me. My face made contact with the floor. A shockwave of pain was sent throughout my body.

"Who do you think you are little girl!!! I will kill you with one swift move!!"

I just stayed on the floor, hot tears now making their way down my face. She grabbed me by my collar and began choking me. My air circulation was getting cut off. I tried to reach for the lamp that was sitting on the near-by table, but she yanked me back. As I struggled to breath, my vision was getting blurry and I was becoming light-headed.

"That's enough.."

She let go and I sucked in as much air as I could. Once my breathing was stable and my vision was back, I looked up and saw Mason with his arms crossed.

"Go to bed.." He said with no emotion.

He didn't have to tell me twice. I raced upstairs to my room. I closed the door and made sure it was locked. I sighed and turned around, coming face-to-face with Michael.

"Morning Sunshine." He said with a huge grin.
"Even though it's not morning, good morning."

I pushed past him and sat down on my bed. He came over to me and kneeled down in front of me. I turned my head to avoid looking at him. He cupped both sides of my face and made me look into his eyes.

"Have you been crying?"
"No."
"Don't lie to me."
"Fine.. I have."
"What the fuck is wrong with your mom?"
"She's not my mom.. My real parents died in a car crash not to long ago... They took me in and I moved here with them and their son Mason."
"I am so sorry."
"It's okay.. I know they're in a much better place now."

He pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his shoulders. We stayed like this for a few more minutes. He slowly pulled away from me and placed his hand on my cheek.

"I want to take you away from this. You don't deserved to be treated this way.. You deserve so much better.."
"I can't just up and leave like this.."
"I really don't care what you say.. I'm taking you away for this.. No ifs, ands, or buts about it."
"Michael what about...."

It happened... It finally happened.. My very first kiss and it was amazing.. We were now standing up, wrapped in each other's love. His lips were so warm and soft.. Just like a pillow. His tongue found its way around mine, thus beginning our battle for dominance.. After he won, he slowly pulled away and placed his forehead against mine. We were staring into each other's eyes with so much love and passion.

"What have you done to me??" He whispered softly.
"I could ask you the exact same question."

He giggled and gave me a light kiss on the cheek. I buried my head in his chest and tried to hold back the tears. He laid his head on my shoulder, close to my ear.

"Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I knew my world was about to change and I was right.. My world has changed in more ways than I can think of, all because of you.. Now if you would do me the honors, I would love for you to become Mrs. Michael Jackson."
I tried hard not to cry, but it was hard.. "Yes.. I would to become Mrs. Michael Jackson.."
"Good.. Now we can start our new life.. Together."
