3rd Person POV:

Michael closed his room door, laying down on the bed as he curled up into a ball. he began to quietly cry to himself, hearing his brothers walk past his room door

"What is up with Michael? He's been acting so strange" Jermaine said

Michael heard Tito Chuckled

"What are you talking about Jermaine?" Tito asked

"Joseph caught Michael sneaking into the house" Jermaine replied

"Uh oh, I know that didn't end pretty" Jackie said

"Actually, Joseph just told him to go to his room, I'm surprised he didn't punch Michael in the esophagus" Jermaine laughed

This caused Michael to get a bit irritated, getting off his bed and opening the door

"You know I can hear you right?" Michael said

"Your point?" Tito asked

Michael just rolled his eyes

"Can you just stop running your damn mouth Jermaine?" Michael said, annoyed

His brother's gasped

"I'd watch your mouth if I were you Michael, you better be glad Joseph didn't hear you say that" Jackie said

"Speaking of which, you better go back into your room before Joseph sees you" Jermaine said

Michael groaned, Turing around and closing his bedroom door. He got back on his bed, once again getting into a curled up position. he continued to hear his brothers talking

"Anyways, where did Michael say he went?" Tito asked

"For a walk, but I think something's up" Jermaine Replied

"Like what?" Tito asked

"I don't know, but something tells me he was with someone, and I think it may be the next door neighbor" Jermaine answered

"Ms Stevenson? The lady that lives by her self?" Jackie asked

"No, the other neighbors" Jermaine said

Tito and Jackie thought for a moment, before finally getting it

"Ohhh, Mr Nelson?" Tito asked

"Bingo" Jermaine replied

"Wait, doesn't he have a son? Named uh..... Prince?" Jackie asked

"Yeah, I've noticed he and Michael have been hanging out a lot, when Joseph wasn't home that is" Jermaine said

"Okay..what exactly is your point?" Tito asked

"My point is, I think Michael may have been with prince when he snuck out, the question is...what were they doing?" Jermaine answered

"I don't know, Playing at the playground? There's one right down the street from here" Tito said

"I guess, but I feel like there's something he's trying to hide, just gotta figure out what" Jermaine said

"Welp, in the meantime, I'ma make myself some breakfast" Jackie said

"Me too" Tito said, following Jackie downstairs and into the kitchen. Jermaine just shrugged, soon making his way to the kitchen as well.
