Dear, michael

chapter 3: finding my way to you

1992
Joejoe pov

I was sitting down in my living room reading and listening to whitney houstin, I've spent my time being bored and reading. I heard the door open and slam soon i seen dawn run into the living room with full excitment in her face. "JOE" she shouted.
"What-why are you shouting" i replied covering my ears.
"I got something special" she said with a wide smile holding up two tickets.
"And what is that" i questioned.
"What is it? You asked what it is? Joejoe its two tickets to michael jackson!" She shouted jumping up and down. I slowly shook my head, i stood up looking at her movements with my eyes furrowed.
"No, it couldn't be thats impossible thoughs are a fake. Dawn stop lying to me you couldnt possibly have tickets to michael jackson" i rambled on trying not to believe her.
"Its not impossible to get tickets to a Michael jackson consert especially when her thin and beautiful" she replied fixing her hair. I snatched the tickets away from her to get a better look at them and there it was "Michael jackson Thursday August 20th 1992" i whispered to myself. Today is the 18th only two more days till it happens.
"Soo? Believe now? Your inlove with his music that would only make me selfish to not buy them" dawn said putting her hands on her hip.
"How much did this cost D?" I asked holding them up.
"It doesn't matter" she said.
"It does" i replied.
"It doesn't" she argued.
"It does" i copied
"It doesnt matter what matters is that your okay with the gift i got you happy birthday" she said turning around.
"My birthday was a month ago" i shouted for her to hear. I sat down looking at the tickets then sudden memories came up in 1976 at the age 15 we shared the same memories for at least a year then i lost contact of him and apparently he lost contact of me either that or he just didnt want to talk to me again. Now the only way to see him is the television but its fine im going to see him perform once again.
"Oh and joe, were going shopping" dawn said peeking her head around the wall.
"When?" I questioned.
"Now, i gotta look good for him you know" she smiled. I walked towards her and said "he probably wouldnt even notice you" i giggled.
She did a slow turn for me to observe her body.
"Girl a blind man would notice this, now lets go" she grabbed my wrist and lead me out the door.

20 minutes later we arrived to the mall.

I was walking around still thinking about michael the conversation we had the laughs we had and more teen times were good times. I was such in a daze i didnt even notice dawn was calling my name i did a simple hmm and listen to her speak.
"What do you think i should wear the blue one or the black one?" She asked holding up two dresses. I couldn't care less so i just said one.
"The black one thats hot" i said with a fake smile.
"Okay one you just faked a smile and im wearing the blue one just because you said the black one" she said turning around. She bought a few accessories and we headed to the cash register.
"Are you gonna buy anything" she asked me looking for something in my hand.
"No i got a outfit" i said.
"It better be hot or i will kill you joslyn" she glared at me. The only time a person calls me by my actual name they are either serious or a teacher, i got my nickname from my mom she thought i looked so much like my father as a baby she start calling me joejoe since my dad name is joe once she start calling me that the whole world called me it and thats how i got the name 'joejoe'. We headed back to our house and yes me and dawn share a house. We headed back to our house and i sat in the same spot i left in and grabbed the book i was reading. My parents, my sister, and my brother walked in noticing my presence they all had a smile on they're face.
"Hi, honey how are you doin?" My mother said kissing my forehead and after she came my father came.
"Im doing swell just perfect" i said closing my book.
"Anything great coming up" my father asked.
"Uh, no nothing" i said nervously i really didnt want them to know i was going to see michael in two days because if i do then that's when the questions come out.
"Good, i need you to come to my dinner party i will announcing my new business" my sister marylin spoke up. Marylin is only three years older than me just a year younger than little ole michael.
"I dont think i can make it" i said scrathing my head.
"and why not?" Marylin said curiously.
"Because were going to a michael jackson consert this thursday" dawn replied walking in with a bag of chips. everyone slowly turned to me and threw my head towards dawn mugging her.
"Oh, really how come that wasnt the first thing you said to us" my mother said.
"Because i just felt like it wasnt really important" i said looking at my fingers. Marylin quickly sat by me grabbing my hands and gently holding on to them.
"Are you kidding? You can finally be with him now just how you wanted" she said.
"Yeah, you no longer have to hide that love affair that was going on" my brother thats only a year older than me said.
"A love affair?" My mother said.
"Dear, you were only 15 while he was 18" my father said looking in my eyes.
"Oh jee, please dont tell me you-" i quickly cut my mother off.
"No no mom i didnt date older men as a teen" i answered.
"He was just a friend" i added.
"A friend you had a crush on" dawn whispered to herself.
"Now nomore of him im only going to see him perform and only perform he's a great artist" i said getting up to go in my room to pack. Were flying to london for the consert.
