Janet's P.O.V.

Tonight was completely amazing. I have never laughed so hard in my life! As I start to walk upstairs, Shirley clears her throat, grabbing not only my attention, but everyone else's as well. "Dunk, you goin' to bed already?!", she says in a child-like voice and gives me the most adorable puppy-dog face possible. I know Michael is rubbing off on her...he's the only one who can get away with that..or at least he was. "Of course not, honey! I'm just changing clothes!", I reply with a smile. "Okay cool!", she says, happy with my response and she slides back into my brother's arms. I sprint upstairs to go get changed. Without question, I automatically know what I'm gonna wear. My favorite Peter Pan pajama set! A black Peter Pan shirt with the characters plastered on it with matching plaid pants. After I finish changing my clothes, I hear my ringtone, Come Together by Michael playing loudly. So, I run to my phone, and pick it up. "Hello?", I answered. "Baby, it's me. Please don't hang up!", a scary, familiar voice said. I knew that voice anywhere. It was my violent ex husband, James Debarge. Many know him from the famous group "El Debarge". "What the hell do you want?!", I shouted through the phone. "Baby, I want a second chance. I know I messed up. I never should've hit you. I'm so-" I cut him off QUICK. "Yeah, I know you're sorry. That doesn't change anything! I'm still divorced from you, and nothing you say is gonna make come back to you!", I yell. "But baby, I want you back!", he cries. I pause, laughing my ass off coldly. "What the hell do I look like? Nigga, I'm not the Jackson Five! All you want is money for your drug habit and me as your Everlast Punching Bag! Well you know what? You can forget it! I'm done!", I hang the phone up, throw it on the bed, and I fall on the floor in tears.
