Unknown Child

part 10.6

Michaela P.O.V.
It's the day of the memorial and I decided I would stay in my room all day with the lights off and door locked. That is until my bestfriend knocked on my bedroom door.

I answered my bedroom door for her and pulled her in then locked the door back.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her as I fell down onto my bed.

"You weren't answering my calls. We have each other's parents phone number in our phones." She said.

"And so..." I said.

"I called your mother. Why is it so dark in this room and why is the door locked?" She asked.

"Do you even have to ask?" I said.

"I ask because we both know your dad. Would he really want you in this room moping around when there's a whole world out there to be explored." Sam said.

"Sam you just don't get it. I'm here at home while there is a whole service going on for my dad. I just want to be alone today." I said from my bed.

"Your brother texted me." She said.

"Why would he text you?" I asked.

"Because his sister is not responding to his text." She said in a duh tone.

"I really meant to reply." I said.

"I think you need to text him now. He is probably nervous already and you not answering him to pushing it." She said.

So I texted my brother back.

Me- hey I'm okay. Sam is here now text me tomorrow.

Princey- I was about to ditch If I hadn't heard from you soon. And I will text you tonight.

"Okay so I texted him so you can leave now." I said.

"I'm not going anywhere we are bestfriends. You really think I'm going to let you kick me out." She said.

"Damn I guess you not falling for it uh?" I said.

"Nope." She said. As she plopped down on my bed. "So this is really what you gonna do all day?" She asked.

"I have no plans of getting out this bed today." I told her.

"Well I guess me either." We both watched movies till we fell asleep. When I woke up saw Sam eating.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Your mom made food. But someone wanted to sleep her life away so yours is over there." She pointed.

"Thanks." I said and sat up and got my plate from my nightstand. A little while later Sam had to go, she and her mom had to catch a flight back to Cali.

I still stayed in the bed. I guess you can say my mom finally picked up enough courage and came in my room along with my grandmother. I paid them no mind, just turned over to face the opposite way. Then all of a sudden my grandma starts praying.

Father god we come to you today with bowed heads and ask you to watch over this family as we go through a storm that only you know we can survive. I ask you to give my sweet granddaughter guidance and to let her know the all is not lost. That she came come to family always god. We pray for the rest of the Jackson family and please tell Michael We will not let his child down. In your name Jesus Amen.

"Thank you granny." I spoke without moving.

"Your welcome baby. I'm going to be downstairs if  you need me." She said.

So she left but not Whitney.

"Mya please don't shut me out please." She said.

"I wont I just need a little time. I'm okay." I told her. She came over and sat next to me on the bed..Then started rubbing my back.

"You know the service is  over now?" She asked.

"No I didn't but thank you." I said

"I love you baby." She kissed the back of my head.

"Thanks mom." I replied.

She left and bye 10 o'clock that night and my brother was calling me.

Me- hello

Me-Nothing

Blanket- does that mean we have to live with our mom's too.

Me- No! It just means I have too.

I made small talk with my siblings till the last person fell asleep.
