Security : Michael Jackson

Chapter 13

December 21st, 1997
*Anastasia's POV*

Yesterday after my shift ended, I immediately went to the travel agency to see if they had any flights for Minnesota and luckily they had one for today. As I purchased my flight ticket, I rushed home and told my mom.

So today is the day, I am going to Minnesota.
The Flight is at 1 p.m, and currently it's 10. I already finished packing my luggage, I also took a shower and dressed up in comfortable clothes.
Two pairs of black leggings, a big oversized hoodie, warm socks and some boots. I straightened my hair and prepared everything in front of the main door.

I quickly ate some breakfast and cleaned the apartment, before Madison arrived and helped me putting my luggage into her car and driving me to the Airport.
To be honest, I'm pretty nervous... I haven't been in Minnesota since I moved to Los Angeles, which was about a year ago. I have left everything and everyone behind back in Minnesota, my family... my 'friends' ... and my past life.

As soon as we arrived at the Airport she helped me to take out my luggage, it was now time to say goodbye to her as well..

"I'm going to miss you, bestie..." she said before embracing me in a hug, causing me to giggle.
"I'll be back in two weeks, it's not like I'm leaving and never coming back again." I joked while hugging her back,
"You better come back, girl!" she then replied causing us both to laugh.

We then finally said our goodbyes, I watched her leave before taking my luggage and pushing it with me while entering the Airport, walking to my gate.
After I've done the check in, I walked into the airplane and sat down on my seat, putting on the security belt. Minnesota, here I come ...

After about 4 hours, the plane finally touched the earth again, while the speakers announced that we successfully arrived in Minnesota. I took off the security belt and stand up, walking out of the plane, arriving in the gate... I immediately walked over to grab my luggage, before walking outside the airport.
I then stopped a taxi, putting in my luggage and entering the backseat. I told the driver the address where my mom and my sisters live, and he immediately started driving.

I decided to send Michael a message, telling him that I arrived and that I'm doing fine.

'Hey Mike, I just arrived in Minnesota. I'm in a taxi right now, headed to my mom's ... I'm doing good. How are things going at Neverland? I miss you... -AJ'

After a few minutes the taxi stopped in front of my mom's apartment, and everything looked just like back then when I left... memories started taking advantage of me. I smiled slightly before paying the driver and stepping out of the car. I then grabbed my luggage and walked towards the main door of the apartment, knocking a few times... shortly after the door opened, revealing my mom, she immediately started smiling and crying when she noticed me, I walked closer and embraced her in a sweet-loving hug.

"Anastasia!" she said while sobbing,
"Hello mama." I whispered while hugging her tight to me.

*Michael's POV*

I was now in the shopping center with two of my closest securities, shopping for Christmas presents for Prince.
I was trapped in a store, since the outside was surrounded by screaming fans... I wish Anastasia could be here with me right now.
That's when I noticed that I had a message on my phone, it was Anastasia's:

'Hey Mike, I just arrived in Minnesota. I'm in a taxi right now, headed to my mom's ... I'm doing good. How are things going at Neverland? I miss you... -AJ'

I smiled slightly while reading her message... I then started to reply back:

'Hey Anastasia, I'm glad that you arrived and that you're doing fine. I'm currently on a Christmas Shopping Spree and the fans aren't making it any easier for me, I wish you could be here to help me out... I miss you too. -MJ'

Once I've sent the message I prepared with the securities to leave the store and head back home to my Neverland Ranch.
Since I said my goodbye to Anastasia yesterday, I kept thinking about surprising her ... it's something BIG and CRAZY. I don't know if I should really do it, but I admit that I really want to.
I was thinking about flying over to Minnesota with Prince, and surprise her and her family... but I can't leave Debbie here all alone, she's already five months pregnant, I need to stay here.

When I arrived back home, I started packing all of the Christmas presents for Prince. I've never celebrated Christmas until 1993, because me and my family were Jehova's Witness, and that year a good friend of mine - Elizabeth Taylor - decided to help me celebrate my ever first Christmas.
And since Prince was born, I couldn't help but celebrate Christmas with him ... I just wish that Anastasia would be here to celebrate it with us, Prince would've been so happy to have her around. I can't wait to talk with her over the phone tonight...

After wrapping all of the Christmas presents I went and took a shower, before heading downstairs for dinner.
Once dinner was done, I rushed to my bedroom and grabbed my phone, starting to call Anastasia ...

"Hello?" she said, I smiled widely.
"Hi, Anastasia... finally." I replied almost whispering, she giggled.
"Finally?" she asked jokingly,
"Yes, finally. I couldn't wait to hear your voice.." I admitted while sucking my teeth.
"Aw, how sweet. How are you doing? How was your shopping spree?" she then asked, I sighed.
"It was a mess ... the store was surrounded by fans, it took us forever to get out of there." I replied.

We chatted - like always - for almost the entire night, at some point none of us wanted to hang up... so we ended up staying on the phone until we both fell asleep, well... until she fell asleep. I would stay up just to listen to hear breathing... I can't wait for Paris to be born, so that I can finally get divorce from Debbie... I want Anastasia. I want all of her. I want to tell her and the world how much I love her... I can't do this anymore.
