AT THE HOSPITAL……
Dr. Winslow; Mr. Jackson?
Michael; Yes. Dr. How is she? How is my fiancé?
Dr. Winslow; Well, she has a concusion, some cuts and bruises but no broken bones. What worries me though is the fact she hasn’t woe up yet. She should have by now. I’ve ordered test to see so she will need to be in the hospital for the next two nights.
Michael; his eyes teared up. Can I see her? Please??
Dr. Winslow, Yes you can, she’s right in there. Talk to her maybe that will help her wake up okay Mr. Jackson?
Michael; Okay doctor I will. Walking into April’s room Michael pulls up a chair and sits next to her. He takes her hand in his and tells her. I told them you were my fiancé or they wouldn’t let me come with you. April please come back to me. I couldn’t be without you. I will find out for sure what happened and who did this to you. I swear it. Please baby, please come back to me. Wake up. I love you. April, I am in love with you. Please, please don’t leave me.
April still was unconscious so she didn’t hear him but her heart. Her heart was another matter. April’s heart heard his words and knew they were real. They were from his soul. Their hearts were as one even if they didn’t understand or know it. Michael rested his head on her chest closed his eyes and went to sleep.Crying in his sleep thinking that he was losing his very heart his love of a lifetime.
Sometime during the night April woke to find Michael laying his head on her chest asleep. His cheeks were tear streaked. He was so sound asleep she didn’t want to wake him. April softly caressed his cheeks and told him she loved him. Michael heard her and raised his head.
Michael; Oh god, my love.. I.. I mean.. April.. I.. How do you feel?
April; It’s okay Michael. I heard you. I ..I love you too..
Michael; You do? Smiling happy tears in his eyes.
April Yes, Michael, I do. But, it doesn’t change the fact I am damaged goods. Michael taking his hand. don’t you see. I’m a mess, you are an amazing man and deserve a woman who isn’t barely keeping it together by a thread or hide behind a mask of dance.
Michael; April, I let you slip away once, I’m not going to do it again. I love you and I don’t care about the past. I mean I do, what they did to you was a horrible act of cruelty especially from those who were to love you unconditionally, but that is the past. That cruelty does not have to be your future if you don’t let it. I want to be your present and your future. Together we can beat anything if you will only let me love you. I’m not asking for sex, or some kinky anything. I’m asking to please let me love you. Let yourself be loved and to love me. The rest, we will survive because I won’t have it any other way. You are beautiful and amazing and sweet and I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. In fact you were the fist one I chose to be a dancer for this. I wanted so badly just to be in your presence April.
April; Tears in her eyes, Michael that is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, but, I’m not worthy of your love. I am ugly, and stupid and a whore. I love you and trust you. I belive you are sincere, but I don’t want your career, your life’s work to be destroyed because of me a filthy whore. I want all the things you said, but not at the expense of destroying you. The media is relentless and they will crucify you because of me and my past. If they were to hurt you, in any way because of me, that would finish me. I can’t let them do it to you. I won’t. Not ever. Tears falling, you are amazing, magical, you love unconditionally and you are sexy, handsome and beautiful. My love with always be just for you. Just please promise to always be happy love. always.
