As the days flew by, Nya began to feel more and more isolated in her bliss. It had gotten to a point where Michael wouldn't even come to their temporary home. So she started staying at her mom's again in Encino.
It was the beginning of August and Michael's first single for his upcoming album, Bad, had already been released as of July 20th. I Just Can't Stop Loving You debuted at #37 on the Hot 100 but was already climbing the charts to the top spot. Nya wanted to be confident and unbothered but it was a strange feeling when she'd hear Michael and Isabella singing with each other on the radio.
Nya couldn't help but to think back to all the times she had to listen to Michael cry over Isabella as if he lost his left lung. There was a point in time when Nya truly did pray Isabella jump back into his life but after Nya got a hold of Michael's heart, she wanted it only for herself.
Michael could sense the jealously. It was always one of Nya's most dominant traits, even when they were best friends. Nya was always overprotective of Michael. But over and over again, he kept reminding her that she was only one that had his heart.
The words and reminders weren't enough. Nya needed something more and Michael nearly gave up on trying. He was too busy to prove himself.
For all Nya knew, Michael had no further contact with Isabella since that day in the studio. But who really knew? Michael was literally M.I.A for a week and a half straight. That was fine with Nya when they were friends but she now found it rude and inappropriate.
It was difficult to get in touch with him when he wouldn't sit still for long, so on her day off, she decided to go out looking for him.
First stop was across the street at his parents' home where he still technically resided. But his mother, Katherine, told Nya she hadn't seen or heard from Michael in a week.
Next stop, Michael's condo. Nya looked all throughout the three story wonderland but still he wasn't there. So she decided to go to Westlake. Everyone was there except Michael.
"He's home, Ya-Ya," Quincy said to her, standing in the middle of the lounge.
"I just came from there. When's the last time you spoke with him?"
"I talked to him yesterday morning. Everything okay with you?"
She just nodded with a sigh.
"How's Ellie?"
Nya then looked at her watch and realized she had to pick up her daughter from school in an hour. "She's good. I have to go get her soon. But if you see Michael, please tell him to call me."
"Okay. But he's supposed to be here tomorrow bright and early. He's recording."
"I thought you guys were done."
