Being the King of Pop's Daughter (sequel to Adopted by my Idol)

chapter 9

Victory Day - 3am
Lucy's POV:
"Luce please try and get some sleep"

"I can't, I'm so scared"

Omer pulls me closer to him and wipes my eyes "I know, I am too but it will be ok. He will get proven innocent"

"But look at him, he's broken. They've finally broke my Dad. He's never gonna be the same and that hurts. It hurts so much. He's lost weight, I even heard him telling Gran he doesn't want to stay here after it's all over with"

"That's understandable, it's gonna be bad memories for him"

"But why does it have to happen? This place is the one place that made him happy yet they had to come along and take it away from him"

"Things will be ok, he's a strong man. He's managed to get through many bad things that's happened so he'll be able to get through this too."

"But it will always be there, lingering at the back of his mind. People thinking it's true. It won't fully go away, it never will"

"We'll get through it. Please try and sleep, you need to sleep"

I snuggle more into him and nod ok. He kisses my head and starts to sing me to sleep which works as I fall asleep quickly.

9am
I go downstairs and make myself some coffee then Omer appears wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder.

"Morning" he mumbles against my neck and kisses it

"Morning, coffee?"

"Yeah please"

I finish making it with Omer still attached me, then I manage to turn around and face him then I quickly kiss him. Well so I thought of it being a quick kiss.

"Daddy they're swapping spit again" Paris says interrupting us

Dad chuckles and makes himself a drink. I drink my drink then go over and hug Dad.he hugs me back and gives me a smile then takes a seat at the table. I finish my drink then I go upstairs to have a shower and get change.

Court
When Dad said bye to the others especially the younger three it was truly heartbreaking, he's convinced he's going down. The twins finally got told exactly what's happening as they're old enough to understand fully. They've been supportive too which has helped Dad. I sit down in between Dad and Omer immediately holding their hands, I'm so nervous/scared. We've been in this room so many times, it's been a long process and today is the final day. I know the truth will be said anytime now which is he's not guilty.

"We find Mr Jackson...."

I hold their hands tighter as I try to not let any tears fall

"....Not Guilty"

I let out a smile and hug Dad as everyone cheers then hugs him, Omer pulls me in for a hug and kisses my cheek. "It's all over with" he smiles looking at me

"It sure is" I smile back

We get outside and wave to all the fans as we make our way back to the limos, Dad smiles and waves but as soon as we get into the limo his smile disappears. Gran hugs him and he breaks down.

"Please don't cry Dad" I speak kneeling down in front of him taking his hands into mine

"I can never live at Neverland again, not after this"

I feel a tear roll down my cheek but I know it's for the best. Dad getting over this is important and if that means leaving Neverland then it has to happen. I move back to my seat and rest my head on Omer's shoulder and remain silent for the rest of the journey home.

Night
I'm sat by the pool with my legs in it as I watch the stars, everyone is still here and the younger ones went to bed 20 minutes ago. I've been sat here for about an hour now. I'm gonna miss this place.

"Hey, mind if I join you?"

I look up to find Dad stood there, I nod saying that's ok and he sits down crossed legged next to me. "Are you ok?" I ask looking at him

"Deep down no, but I'm closer to a positive emotion than I was yesterday."

"Well that's good" I smile

"We can always visit here, I'm gonna miss it too you know"

"I know, this place was the start of my life, everything became better for me. That's all thanks to you"

He wraps an arm around me and smiles "things will be ok, we're Jacksons and we always manage to get through things"

I lean into him and smile "It's us Jacksons against the world" I giggle

"It is, now come on you're missing the party and Omer is looking for you"

I nod ok and we get up making our way back inside. I sit on Omer's lap and snuggle into him until Thriller starts playing. I sit up and give Dad a look, getting the same one back in return. We both jump up and get to the centre of the room.

"Daddy Daughter dance off" Jermaine cheers

"Well? Who won?" We both ask as soon as the song is over

"Sorry Luce but no one can beat the original" Jermaine shrugs and high fives Dad

I poke my tongue out and take my seat back on Omer's lap again. Janet talked Dad into drinking alcohol finally, he needs it after the stress he's been through. All I can say is I'm glad it's all over with. Dad is still here and he managed to stay strong and get through it all, he proved he was innocent and the court saw through that evil family's lies. We can all slowly start to get on with our lives now and try to forget this.
