A Forbidden Love ( Michael Jackson Fan Fic)

Washington D.C.

I sat quietly next to Marilyn as the Train took me to my new home. New school, new people im scared but this might be good for me.

" I cant wait to show you Washington D.C. Ariel, theres so much you haven't seen. You'll love it!" She glowed

" Im kind of excited." I giggled

" Good, Were going to have a lot of fun!" She exclaimed. 

My eyes became heavy as our ride continued, i rested my head and fell asleep.

" Ariel, Were here.Wake up sweetie" She said. I raised up, rubbing my eyes seeing the sunny blue sky of Washington D.C. We grabbed our bags and made our way off the train. We walked out of the train station and Marilyn waved down a Taxi. 

" 2468 3rd north street sir" She said once we got in.

" Yes Ma'am." He replied.

I Sat there and looked out the Taxi window taking in my new home. We passed the white house and the Washington Monument. We drove a little ways pasted and came to a stop at apartment building. It was nice!

" Thank You Sir!" Marilyn said. We grabbed our bags and dragged them up to her apartment. We entered her Apartment and it was very nice.

" Your room is right here and my room is on the other side. Ill let you get settled in before we tour the city." She said walking into the kitchen.

I walked into my room. It was purple, accented with white furinture. It was beautiful. I laid down my suit case, unzipping it putting my clothes and other personal belonging away.

After a hour of putting my stuff away, i was finally finished. I walked out to find my Aunt on the couch watching TV.

" Im ready Marilyn." I said

" Ok darling, just let me put on some comfortable shoes and we'll be on our way!" She said going to her room.

She walked out and we left to explore the city. She showed me all the places to go and where to not go. we went to the Washington Monument,the Arlington National Cemetery and War Memorials, and the Lincoln Memorial. It was so much fun. My Aunt Marilyn was like a kid, she loved to have fun. It was funny to watch guys whistle at her and try to hit on her. She always rejected them.

We made it home and i called my mom before i forgot.

It rang twice

" Hello?" My mother answered

" Hey Momma." I said

" Ariel, how are you baby? " She asked 

" Im good momma. I like it here. Its so beautiful!" I exclaimed

" Im glad you like it, but tell your Aunt to not forgot to enroll you in school!" She said

" Yes Momma" i giggled.

" Well i gotta go baby girl, i love you." She said

" Okay momma tell Harmony i love her! Love you , Bye!" i said hanging up

* A week later*

Todays my first day of school. Im kind of scared but excited. Aunt Marilyn doesnt make me dress in those dresses and everything. I wore jeans with a plain white t shirt. I grabbed my book bag and ate a quick breakfast.

" You ready?" Marilyn asked.

" Yep." I said finishing my orange juice.

We walked out the door, and off to school i went.

MICHAEL'S POV******~~~~~~~~~

Its been 3 weeks since the last time i seen Ariel. I thought i would at least see her around town but i only seen that little girl she walked with that one day. I walked down the street with my little brother Randy. I saw that little girl, im guessing its her sister? She looks like Ariel. The little girl looked at me and her eyes got wide, she tugged on her mothers arm and whispered something into her ear. Her mother looked over to me. It made me nervous....I think they know? They both waved at me? What the heck. I unsure waved back. Then a man came out of the store and both girl quickly looked away. Well that was weird. i thought.

" Who is that?" Randy asked.

" I dont know, " I replied.

" Lets go home." I said.

I am so confused,Wheres Ariel? How do they know about me, if they do? 

Its  April of 1963. Things have been changing. The more Martin Luther King Jr. Speaks the more the White folks cut us off. We can barely walk into town with out being spit on. Things are getting bad. My family is trying to find a way out of here. It isnt safe.

It was April 26th. It was late.I smelt.... smoke? i quickly jumped up. The house was filling with smoke. I quickly jumped out of bed, running out the door to see Jackie and Tito running out their doors. 

" Tito! Grabbed Marlon, Randy and Jermaine! Jackie get Mom and Joseph. Ill get Janet and the girls!" I yelled. Mom and Joseph came running out their room. I ran over grabbing Janet, and shaking La Toya awake. Janet was screaming and crying. We all ran down stair. The front and back door were covered with flames. We all coughed trying to find a way out. 

" THE WINDOW!" Jermaine yelled. We all ran Jermaine made his way out the window first and i put Janet  and Randy through. I help mother and LaToya through the window also. We all got out and Joseph was the last one out. Mother was crying and so was Janet. I tried comforting her but she still cried. The two little ones, Janet and Randy screamed and cried. We all kept coughing. The streets were spray painted with a racial slur , telling us to leave. We looked around and our house wasnt the only one caught on fire. There was smoke coming from down the street, the next street over and our church. The whole black community gathered, helping one another. Some comforted my mother, the other victims, some tried to put the fire out but they were to big. We all walked to where there wasn't a fire.

" We have to leave." Joseph said. We all nodded our head. Detroit was in flames right now. It was terrible.

" How are we going to find some where to live?" Mother asked,wiping her tears.

" The only place we can go, Gary Indiana. Where my brother lives." Joseph answered.

With what money we did have we caught a train to Gary. We called my uncle letting him know of our arrival. Once everyone fell asleep, i let myself go. I cried so hard. Why is the world with way? We never caused anyone trouble. But they burn everything we owned. Everything is gone.

A MONTH LATER.

We moved into a tiny house, on 2300 Jackson street. It was small but we lived in a much better community. We went to school that was desegregated. We all had to go to the doctors to get a check ups. Janet has some breathing issues but the doctor said she'll be okay.

Layla's been on my mind a lot, well ever since i last saw her. I wander where she is. I knew what happened must of broke her heart. She wanted peace just as much as we did. I still feel bad for what i did, but we couldn't be together. I wanted nothing but her, everything has changed. My family is restarting in this new community.

Days went on,school was fun. I liked being with different people. I actually love this new home. Yeah its small but were a lot closer. Rebbie calls us checking on us constantly. She lives in Virginia.

SCHOOL IS OUT! YAY! Me some friends and my brothers have been going to the pool every day. Things are going good.

In july we kept hearing about this Big speech Martin Luther King Jr. was giving in Washington D.C. We want to go. We want our freedom and we want to be apart of making it happened. Joseph is fine with it but my mother isn't. This is something we all want to do,Jermiane,Jackie,Tito,Marlon and I. 

It was August 26 and we packed our bags to go to Washington D.C. to stand up for our freedom.
