Never Again (Discontinued)

Chapter 3

Date: June 5, 1993

Michael's POV

I was on the plane to London for this award ceremony where the London Humane Society is giving me an award for Humanitarian of the Year I was looking out of the window and I sighed

Every since Shayne called me, I've been thinking about her more than  usual, if that's even possible I guess Janet was right about that breakthrough stuff

Julie: Mike.?

Michael: Yeah.?

Julie: We're running late so when we land, we have to go straight to the hotel, you change clothes, and go to the dinner, alright.?

(I nodded. I was used to rushing around because I'm always late. 3 hours later, it was 6:42pm and we landed. We got off the plane and ran to a waiting truck. There were hundreds of fans waiting and I waved at them as we drove away. We got to the hotel 10 minutes later and we hopped out.

I walked up to my room and went straight for the shower. I got out 20 minutes later and dried off. I put on a red military jacket, black pants, and my loafers. By the time I was finished, it was 7:25 and the ceremony started at 8. Me and Julie ran back downstairs and jumped in the car. Jerry drove us to the dinner and we walked in with 10 minutes to spare.)

Michael: Yes.! We made it in time.!

Julie: We always do.!

(We did a lowkey high five and I started to talk to some of the people that were there. At exactly 8, we sat down at the tables and the ceremony started.)

Shayne's POV

I was at this fancy hotel, taking pictures for the London Humane Society because they were having their awards ceremony for all of the honorees Christy was there also but she was a hostess

Everytime an honoree got their award, I took a picture with them and the President of the Humane Society, Jimmy Cross I was refocusing my lens when I heard something that made me freeze

Jimmy: Our last award, The Humanitarian of the Year, is going to a man who is the world's biggest star In spite of that, though, he continues to donate his time and money to various charitable causes

(My eyes widened. Please, don't let him be talking about who I think he's talking about.)

Jimmy: Give a big round of applause for our Humanitarian of the Year, Michael Jackson

(Everyone stood up and applause boomed throughout the room. I stood there and sighed. I looked up at the ceiling.)

Shayne:(Whispers) Seriously.?! I just can't get a break, can I.?!

(Michael walked onto the stage and shook Jimmy's hand. I hesitantly walked in front of the stage and held my camera up. I was hoping that I could just take the picture and sneak away unnoticed. Of course, that didn't work, did it.?)

Michael:(Mouths) Shayne.?!

(I smiled a little and waved at him. He shook his head in disbelief and it looked like he was about to cry. He stepped up to the podium and cleared his throat.)

Michael: Um, I would like to thank the London Humane Society for giving me this award I am truly honored, I really am

(The room clapped.)

Michael: I have always had a love for children and if I could have one wish in this world, it would be that no child would ever have to suffer again Even after I'm dead and gone
