Date: April 16, 1988

Michael's POV

Yesterday, we had a show in Atlanta that went really good We have the next three days off before we have a show in Rosemont I'm stuck in bed, though, because I have a mild case of laryngitis

As for the whole Tatiana thing, we still meet up at least once a week to...... you know I do feel horrible about it but it's like I can't help it It's just something about Tati......

Shayne: Michael.?

Michael:(Snaps out of it) Yeah.?

Shayne: You alright over there, applehead.?

Michael:(Sighs) Yeah, I'm fine Just feeling bad, that's all

Shayne:(Sits on the bed next to me) You wanna talk about it.?

(I sighed and looked away. I really should tell her but I have no idea how to. I looked back at her)

Michael: Shay, you remember when I said that I would never do anything to hurt you intentionally.?

Shayne: Yeah, I remember Why.?

Michael: Well,..... it's kinda hard for me to tell you this but-

(I was interrupted by someone knocking on the door. Shayne got up and went to answer it. I laid back and ran my hands over my face. Shayne walked back in the room with Karen and Sheryl.)

Sheryl: How you feeling superstar.?

Michael: Bad, better, worse

Karen: Sorry to hear that honey...... Do you mind if we steal Shayne away for a couple of hours.?

Michael: Go ahead I'll still be here

Shayne: I'll meet you guys downstairs, alright.?

(They nodded and walked out of the room. Shayne turned to me and ran her fingers through my hair.)

Shayne: I'm sorry What were you trying to tell me.?

Michael:(Sighs) It can wait till later

Shayne:(Not convinced) Alright I'll see you in a couple of hours

Michael: OK I love you Shayne I really do

Shayne:(Smiles) I love you more Bye

(She kissed my forehead and walked out of the room. I laid there for about 20 minutes when I heard a knock at the door.)

Michael: Come in

(I heard the door open and close. Tatiana walked into the room.)

Tatiana: Hey handsome

Michael: Hey Tati I'm glad your here I wanted to talk to you about something

Tatiana: Alright

(She walked over to me and got on the bed. I grabbed her hand and held it.)

Michael: I think that we should stop what we have going on

Tatiana: I kinda do too It's not right because you love Shayne, not me

Michael: I'll always care for you though

Tatiana:(Smiles) Ditto.......So, are you gonna tell her.?

Michael: Yeah I just hope she'll forgive me

Tatiana: Your a good guy Mike.....You just made a bad decision

(I smiled at her and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around me kissed back.)

Michael: Do you think you could spare one more bad decision.?

Tatiana:(Smirks) I think so

Shayne's POV

After I kissed Michael goodbye, I walked out of the hotel and got into the truck where Karen and Sheryl were waiting Jerry drove us downtown to the St Louis mall We got out and went into a clothing store

Karen: So Shay, how are you and Michael.?

Shayne: We're fine Are you two still pissed at him about him snapping on y'all.?

Sheryl: Not really I mean, we were just trying to look out for you

Shayne: I appreciate it but I trust Michael He told me that he would never intentionally hurt me

Karen: But he didn't say he wouldn't hurt you at all

(I sighed and thought about what she said. Michael is no Kent. He would never do anything to hurt me......I hope.!)
