1976 Joejoe pov

Reign! Stop traveling thats the third time you done that" Marlon said frustratedly. I've been talking 

to Michael for four weeks and my friends and the Jackson brothers seem to get along perfectly fine, well besides dawn and Marlon insulting each other every chance they get. "I'm not traveling" reign replied. "Reign you holding the ball and moving is travel" Jackie said walking up to her and grabbing the ball from her. "I'm not playing then since I'm 'traveling'" reign said crossing her arms throwing a fit. "You leaving the game will mess it up for everyone, I wouldn't be a equal group" Michael said. As Tito jackie Marlon Michael dawn and reign played I was sitting next to randy on the bench just chatting with him and watching them play. "Oh well" reign said sitting down. "I'm gonna rip your face off what do you mean "oh well" your not about to mess up our fun because you don't know how to play ball" dawn said fast walking to her as if she was really about to rip her face off. "Lay back chill for a while Joejoe would just need to fill in" Jackie said grabbing dawn wrist. "I'm wearing skates I can't play with skates on" I said looking down at my feet. "Take them off bunny" Michael said. "Come on we need you in the game" he added and sat down next to me with a wide smile. "Randy is right here, why aren't you guys asking him" I said pointing with my thumb towards randy. "They already seen me play they wanna see you play" Randy said putting his arm round me friendly, Michael grabbed Randy's index finger and tossed his finger to randy as if it wasn't connected to him. "Fine I'll play.. in my skates" I said skating with backwards looking at mike and randy. Marlon and I became teams while Michael and dawn was on teams and jackie teams with tito. Ten minutes into playing and everyone was scoring in our last one Marlon let me take the net, I rollered myself to the hoop and as soon as I was about to shoot I fell on my butt. And of course everyone was laughing. "Are you okay bunny" Michael said gibbling lifting me up. "Yeah, I took to much speed" I said. Marlon approached me and of course he was the only one not laughing. "You made us lose Joe" he said. Dawn came in and said "hush Marlon if you had the ball you still woudve lost, so y'all would've had a better chance if Joejoe had the ball" see I told you. "You guys let's go get some ice cream" Michael said.

20 minutes passed and we were at theJackson house.

"No one payed attention to me back then" Randy said licking his chocolate ice cream. "Yeahuh, I would always see what the little man was doing with the congos" I laughed. "If I'm a little man you a little woman we are the same age miss" Randy said. "Yeah but I'm a month older hah" I faked laughed. Michael walked up to me "hey Joe Joe wanna watch us rehearse" mike said kneeling down to be face to face with me. "I can't gibblets you know Joseph" I said and smiled wide after I noticed what I had called him. "Wait- how do you know that name" Michael said with full curiosity. " well you have a little sister named Janet that just loves to tell me things most people don't know" I replied. Afterward an hour at the Jackson residence it was time to me to come home to my two sisters and three brothers yup there is six of us. I waited until my phone rung michael promised he'll call put he finally did.

*phone call*

"Hello, Michael"

"Hi Joejoe see I told you I keep my promises"

"I never doubted you" I giggled.

"So any plans for tomorrow" I added.

"I'm sorry joslyn me and my brothers are going right back to our routine, I'm surprised Joseph let us have a break for a few days" 

"Oh" seemed to be the only thing to come out my mouth i wanted to be with Michael more but i keep forgetting he's an successful music group he will always be busy.

"Joejoe your a very special girl i-I really like you to" Michael stuttered.

"I like you too michael" a smile seemed to creep on my face.

"I have to go and get some sleepI have a plane to catch tomorrow" Michael said. 

"Okay I'll talk to you later" I said getting ready to hang up.

"Joejoe.i Love you" mike said slowly and quietly.

"I love you too Michael" I said.

We said our goodbyes and hung up. I really like him I hopped to see him soon, until three weeks passed I had change my number and afterwards when I called Michael he changed his as well. That when I lost him.
