Mr. & Miss JACKSON: The Beginning

Chapter 46: Like That

Next Day
Aliza POV

"Kim, where are you? Come look at this. What you think?" Aliza poses in the mirror of the Versace boutique closed down just for her.

"I love it. Curves are highlighted." Kim says sipping her third glass of champagne.

"Well, I'm going to get it for Izzy. She's basically my size now. She um told Frankee that some of the kids at her school, ironically teased her about me. Called her goodie too shoes and other things. I feel bad" I go to sit down across from Kim.
"What kind of sister am I? She doesn't think I understand. I used to be her idol. Now I think she resents all of this. I just want to make her feel better."

"Liza Love. Are you doing all this because you feel bad that some greasy teenagers are picking on Izzy? Welp news flash, Izzy is a tough cookie. She's just going through the teenage stage. It makes sense now, you know. The new house, clothes, the gifts. You can't buy your sister back. She loves you. She just misses you being there."

"I just thought moving her out west, giving her a fresh start would be right. Besides, I'm working on getting her an acting gig for a sitcom. They're pitching a show 'Sam & Cat' and I'm pulling strings to get her in. I just want her to experience every bit of this as I am. I remember all the times before all the fame. Her eyes would light up when I sang in my room and put on a show for her. My family just would have to adjust. And if I'm being 100,000 percent honest. Frankee. I don't know how long I'll have him. I literally can feel this big shift coming and Kim, I am not ready."

"Listen. Life is always changing. We're never ready. Don't think too much. You got to release control. Don't feel bad about being blessed. Just be in control of you. You can't make everyone happy all the time. I think you're doing a great job at handling all of this. I can't imagine."

"Yeah...I'm always dumping on you. This day is for us two. Come on, did you find all you wanted?" I say getting up forcing a smile on my face.

"Yes, let's jet. I'm so hungry. "

Moments later
"Let me take this call." I reach for the phone in the car

"Hello. This is she. It's me, any good news?"

Kim grabs me when I scream for joy. I cover the phone and tell her "I got the house!"

I put my hand up to signal hold on...

"This is amazing. Thank you. Please put me in touch with your brokerage in Dayton. I'm sure my mom will want a home there. She lives for palm trees. "

"Sure thing. They'll be in touch shortly."

I hang up and scream so loud. This is going to be a surprise of a lifetime. My entire family out west with me and a home in Florida.

But wait, my childhood home. My Gogo will never let it go. I didn't think that far. I'll figure it out.

MJ POV
I don't think it's hit Liza that this tour is about to hit. I can't wait to tour with her. The label is giving us so much backlash, but it doesn't matter. We owe it to our fans. Sometimes we stay up all night and read letters from them about us inspiring them to love someone other than themselves. What is life without love. It's no life at all.

"Mike. Are you sure about this? I mean, think of all the fans that are going to be so upset-" Frank babbles on and I tune him out on the elevator up to the office

We finally get off and I say hello and go back into my office.

"Mr. Jackson" a young girl knocks on the door and comes in
"Sorry to interrupt, here are you missed messages from yesterday." She quickly turns around
