One Day In Your Life

Circumstances

In the evening as I finished unpacking my bags I dropped down into my bed of my old bedroom back in my parents house.
I sighed deep leting myself fall back and hitting the sheets with a rather loud bump.
Then I remembered the envelope that Michael gave me, I quickly jumped up and took my bag.
I harshly digged in it and pulled it out.

Dear Diane,

One day in your life...
when you find that you're always waiting,
for a love that we once shared,
close your eyes and think of me,
let this love you remind of what it used to be,
and though you don't need me know,
someday we'll meet again, somehow.
Keep your head high, and just in the twinkling of an eye we'll be together again.

Love Mj

I closed my eyes and felt some tears stream down my cheeks.
It obviously won't be easy though, but this letter isn't the only thing that Michael gave me.
I shyly smiled to myself as I ran the palm of my hand flat across my stomach.
"I can't wait to see the sparkling puppy eyes of yours when you see your daddy for the first time", I mumbled knowing that in just a few years we'll be a happy little family, and that's for sure.

In the middle of the night I woke up by a door slamming noise.
And I knew my dad just came home from soccer, it never really bothered him when he woke up some of us just because he couldn't close the door slowly.
With narrowed eyebrows I pushed the sheets right across my head while turning my body to the other side.
As I heard my Dad speak outside in the living room.
"You're still awake?".
"Yeah I couldn't sleep at all, you know", my mother's voice spoke up.
"What's wrong?", my dad asked dropping the heavy bag with all of his soccer stuff inside to the floor.
"Oh and before I forget it myself", my dad replied, "Is Diane already home again?".
"Yeah she is", my mother said quitely as I heard the clicking of her cigarette lighter.
"Great because I have a little gift for her".
"Look, a friend of mine gave me this for her, his daughter is a Michael Jackson fan too and she got it twice, that's why he gave me this", my dad said proudly.
At this point I sat myself straight into the bed to hear better of what they where talking.
A present for me?!, I felt myself getting exicted as I pressed my ear against the wall.
"Nice...", my mum mumbled.
"Don't you like it?",  my dad asked and another clicking sound was heard, so he lid himself a cigarette too.
"Well, Jonathan there's something that I wanted to discuss with you", my mum said after a while.
"Ok and what is it?", he asked confused.
I rolled my eyes of what was coming up.
"Where should I start?...", she replied, "Diane moved from her flat back into her old bedroom".
"That's nice, so we're together again", my dad said.
"Yeah but that's not the point... I forced her to move, you know".
"Why?, couldn't she pay her rent?".
"No", my mother hissed, "She's pregnant".
"She's what?", my dad jumped in disbelieve, "I didn't knew she has a boyfriend...".
"Yeah she doesn't, I guess it was a one night stand or something, you know", my mum told him.
"A walked by fella from the U.S.A, I guess it happened at the concert".
At this point I couldn't control my temper and walked out of my bedroom, facing both.
"It is not your business, ok", I stood there with balled fists and clenthed teeth.
"And, Michael isn't a walked by fella who jumped over me because of a one night stand", I hissed.
"So his name's Michael", my mum raised her eyebrows.
"Michael Jackson, huh", my dad started to laugh.
Is he really making fun of me at the moment?
"Yes, any problem with it?", I said titling my head up.
Both shot the other a rather confused glare as I started to giggle.
"Anyway how I said it's not your business so leave me alone with it", I stated groaning as I walked off.

"Morning", I mumbled the next day as I walked past them into the kitchen for some orange juice.
"Good morning", they both said in union.
I grabbed the bottle and walked back into my room.

After a while my phone buzzed.
I took it and noticed that I got a message from my friend.

Dear Diane,

your holidays in the USA are over, aren't they?
I'd like to see you again after that long time, if you've time you can come over!
I made cookies...

Love Sina

She and her boyfriend are living together in the next town, just a few miles away and some distance from here could sooth my nerves a little.
I smiled and got up to dress myself.

It was a really sunny day and I felt the urge to ride my bike, so I dressed in my dark blue jeans with my bike trainers and left the room.
I grabbed the door keys and walked into the living room where my parents were sitting and watching television.
"I'm off to Sina, don't wait for dinner, bye", I said quickly as I walked down the hallway and out of the door.

Can't wait to see you and some cookies!

Diane

I typed and pressed the send button before I took my bike and drove off.
