Chapter 15

When we got home, we got inside the house, and we sat on the couch. "So, how were you and Michael doing while we were gone?" I asked Michael. "We were doing good," he answered, "How were you doing?" "Awkward," I answered.

"Why?" Michael asked. "Because of the doctor I had," I said, "I swear, when he was doing the physical on me, I don't think he was just checking me because he's a doctor. I think it was also for rape." "Oh come on, Carly," Daniel said, "I think you're overreacting."

"No, I'm not," I said, "He wasn't just touching me, but he was also looking at me weird, like as if he wanted to do something." "What's his name?" Michael asked. "Conrad Murray," I answered, "Why?"

"I want to call the cops on his ass," he said. "Ok, there are two problems with that," I said, "One, people are gonna recognize your voice, and that will blow your cover. Two, they're not gonna believe you if you just say, 'My friend got touched by her doctor during a physical." "Someone else can call then," Michael suggested.

"I think we should wait until it happens again, if it does," Shelby said. "Yeah, I guess you're right," I said. Daniel looks at his watch and says, "I have to go. I'm supposed to be home in a few minutes." "Ok, bye," I said.

"Bye," he says and leaves the house. "So what are you going to do about the perverted doctor?" Michael asked. "I'm going to try to avoid him as much as possible," I answered. "I think that's a good idea," said Shelby. "It's better safe than sorry," I said.

~Nine Months Later: Christmas 2015~

Nine months have passed, and my ankle has already been better. No more stupid crutches! It's Christmas Day, and the whole family came over. Of course, Michael has to keep his disguise on so that the whole family doesn't find out. So far, so good.

Ever since nine months ago, I stayed as far away from the doctor as possible, but I think he's been watching me. Every time I had that feeling, I get scared. Last night was creepy; When Michael was asleep, and I was getting ready to say the prayers, I could have sworn I saw that stalker looking through my window! Today I'm scared because he might watch me again, and it might not be too pretty.

Michael and I are sitting on the living room couch, and I was crying. "Carly, what's wrong?" Michael asked me worriedly. I never told him about the doctor stalking me all this time. "Ok," I said, "You remember when I told you about the doctor I had?"

"Yeah, why? Is he messing with you?" Michael asked. "Ever since then, he's been stalking me," I explained, "I would see him all the time. He really is wanting to rape me."

"Ok, this has gone too far," he said, "Why didn't you tell anyone about it?" "I don't know," I said, "I guess I was just too scared to talk about it." "I'll do something about it, I promise," he said.

"Thanks, Michael," I said, "You know, you're a very great friend to me." "Thanks, that's very sweet," he said. We both hugged. About five minutes later, my cousins came in the house.

Their names are Celine, Breanna, Katy, Nikki, and Summer. "Oh my God, hey!" I said, "I haven't seen you guys in forever!" "Hey, Carly!" they said. They all hugged me.

"Girls.... Since you guys are my cousins, and I trust you..." I turned to Michael, "Take off your hoodie." Michael takes off his jacket. "Girls, please promise you won't tell anyone," I said. "We promise," said Celine.

"Ok, this is my friend Michael Jackson," I confessed. "That guy is seriously Michael?" Breanna asked. I sighed and said, "I knew you would say that." Michael and I told the girls everything. "Oh my God!" Katy exclaimed, "So this whole time since the Dangerous era, you were a doll?"

"That's right," Michael answered, "I nearly got stabbed in the back, too." "Can we see a scar?" Nikki asked. "Sure," he replied. He took his shirt off and turned around.

"That long line on the upper right side is the scar," he explained. "Wow!" Summer said, "I'm surprised you survived!" "Yeah, I was, too," said Michael. He put his shirt and hoodie back on, with the hood over his head.

"I'll be right back," I said, "I have to go change." "Ok, Carly," said Celine. I went upstairs to my room and started changing. After I finished changing, I heard a sound from my closet.

I walked up to my closet and opened it slowly, and I saw........
