"It's going to be a long night." Michael sighed fixing his jacket. Tonight is the Shoot For The Stars charity ball. The money is going to help underprivileged children. He was always willing to lend a helping hand but didn't like dealing with the people. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.
He heard a knock on his bedroom door. "Michael, are you ready yet? The limo is outside waiting." Jermaine asked.
"I'm ready I'm surprised you're not still fixing your hair."
"It takes time to look this good. You can't rush it."
"Whatever Jermaine I'll be down in a second."
"Come on let's go Nova just got here." Jermaine was so impatience.
"You could have sent her to tell me instead."
Nova came behind Jermaine lightly tapping his shoulder. "I'll take it from here you can go to the limo."
"You're lucky," Jermaine warned before going downstairs.
"Thanks for saving me." Michael smiled.
"You know I will Mike. He is right we do need to get going." She told him.
"Yeah"
"I know you hate going but it's for a good cause." She hugged him from behind. "The sooner we get there the sooner it will be over. Then we get some good food instead of that nasty shit they serve at these things." That caused Michael to laugh.
"I promise I'll get you some food afterward." He leaned into her embrace. "You always make me feel better."
"That's what I'm here for. It's been that way since we were little."
Nova and Michael had been dating for two years but have known each other since childhood. She lived a few doors down from the Jackson family. She didn't even like Michael at first it's funny how time and puberty change people.
"I appreciate that and you look beautiful."
"Thank you." She pecked his cheek. "Come on let's go."

The banquet hall was buzzing with people. Most only came to these events because they looked good not because they cared. Michael couldn't stand fake people in Hollywood. They will smile in your face and then stab you in the back. The only good thing was helping children to have a better life. Now he was seated at the table with the rest of his family.
"Just a few hours baby." Nova placed her hand on top of his.
"Thanks", Michael kissed the back of her hand.
"I don't get why we have to come to these things." Randy rolled his eyes irritated. "We don't even like these damn people.
"Randy don't do this here." Marlon shushed him. "Be quiet"
