Broken Apart II

Chapter 1

1994; Michael's POV: "We the jury, have found Maria Ellis, guilty, of domestic abuse and attempted murder." These words made me cry tears of joy that day. Maria was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. I went back to Neverland that day and smiled. But I still felt guilty. I mean, it was the heroin that did this to her. She went from a nice girl to a demon. Anyways, since that day, I've been living so much better. The injuries have healed, and I'm back to how I was before. I don't care that I'm alone again, I'd rather be alone then in danger. I go back on tour tomorrow, for the first time in a long time. I may hate touring, but I can't wait to see the fans. They're what kept me going last year. I turned on the TV and for some reason had a strong urge to watch the news. Why? I mean, with all the bullshit accusations that surfaced after Maria was sentenced, why should I watch? "We've just gotten news from the San Fransisco Prison Authority, a convict by the name of Maria Ellis has escaped and is on the run." The reporter said. My heart stopped. I swallowed hard at the news. I pinched myself, hoping the news wasn't true, but there her mugshot was on the screen. Just as I felt safe. "It is believed she was last seen on her way towards the home of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. If anyone has any information, please contact the San Fransisco police at—" I turned off the TV. She's coming for me. She wants revenge on me. Oh god. I ran and locked all the doors, but she could still break a window. "Mr. Jackson, are you ok?" My maid asked me. "Look, if you see Maria anywhere in the property, let security know. Alert them so they can keep an eye out for her too. I'll be upstairs. If she gets in, don't let her find me." I said to her. She nodded and ran off to find the security. I ran upstairs and into my bedroom. I quickly locked the door and grabbed my gun out of the nightstand drawer. I started carrying one in case this ever happened, but I never thought it actually would. I was scared. I know for sure that if she finds me she'll kill me this time. The phone rang. "Hello?" I said as I answered it. "Mike! You're in danger!" I heard LaToya's voice. "I saw. I've locked myself in my room with my gun in case she finds me." I said. "Please be careful Mike. I'm scared right now." She said. "I know, I'm doing what I can." I said. We talked for a little bit more before I hung up. How am I gonna get out of here for the tour tomorrow?...
