May 1983, Los Angeles

"You were amazing, I loved the Medley you did with your brothers! I am very excited for your solo performance in a bit.", I said and gave my Boyfriend a kiss.

"I just had a few hours to rehearsal and it isn't perfect yet.", Michael complained.

"Shh, it's going to be great...", I started.

"Mr. Jackson is up in two minutes!", a guy said and Michael made his to the stage.

"I love you, no matter what!", I called.

Michael turned around towards me for a last passionate kiss before his performance, which I knew would be amazing.

"Everybody let's welcome Michael Jackson!",

The crowd cheered and I watched my Boyfriend perform.

'Billie Jean' echoed trough the hall and Michael was standing on stage.

He was so passionate and powerful.

Michael took our breath away that night, it was just amazing.

The crowd was singing along the whole time. It didn't surprised me because everyone knew Michael's Song. It was the most selling Album of all time and I knew that Michael would be huge one day.

Since I've had seen him and his brothers perform "I Want You Back" on TV, I was in love with him.

I even remember the time my mom got me their first vinyl. I was so happy about it and everyone at my elementary school was so jealous of me. It's a very sweet memory but not everything was sweet when I was little.

My father never had been a huge fan of 'The Jacksons". I didn't knew exactly what was going on his mind but I always imagined it like he was just created to be a part of racial discrimination.

I still don't understand why he was the only one in our family who thought that way.

I was very proud of Michael and I loved him more than I loved myself. I couldn't imagine a life without him. If there would be anybody to break us apart, I would break this person apart first. I couldn't live without Michael and the last couple of years made it clear to me.

Michael danced on the stage and just like that wasn't enough, he also performed his new creation 'The Moonwalk'.

He told me about a new dance move he had created but he was too shy to show me.

It sounds weird but I was just like him. I was shy performing in front of friends or family, but we were super confident when there was a huge crowd of people.

For me the stage is like a second home. When I performed, I felt fierce and I knew that Michael felt the same way.

What he had created with his performance was just Magic.

Everyone in the crowd danced and chanted.

When Michael's performance ended, he was out of breath and looked over to me with a huge smile.

"Thank you!", he called into the microphone.

Michael was amazed by the crowd and I was so happy for him.

For almost ten minutes the crowd was calling his name after he had left the stage.

I made my way to the Backstage area but when I spotted Michael, he was fully surrounded by the press.

My Boyfriend seemed excited but he was also anxious and tired.

"...Michael how do you call this 'backwards sliding' move?", some Reporters asked.
