*Marilyn's Point Of View*

I check my cellphone for the twentieth time this morning. Michael hasn't called or text me all morning. I sigh and sit at my desk. I wish I could just take off for the rest of the day and take a trip to the label. But who else is going to pay my lease? "You okay girl?", Bethany; my supervisor asked in her strong Texas accent. I shrug. "I don't know... ", "Awe honey...do you wanna talk 'bout it?", I nod. "Alright huns stay right here I have something to cheer you right up!...", She chirmed clicking away with her six inch heels. I pull out my phone. Still Nothing. Bethany returns with a mug and a bag of Snickers mini's. "An old Texan feel good remedy!! ", She exclaimed handing me the bag and the mug. I giggle. "Thank-you... ", "Now that I've buttered you up...how about telling me what's wrong.. ", I open the bag of Snicker's and take a sip of the hot chocolate. "Well...It's Michael... ", She gasps. "The man that you have been married to your whole life...whose cheated on you with dumb blondes? And who you decided to go back to after amazing se-", I cover her mouth. "Glad that you listen... But Yes that's him....I haven't heard from him all morning... I'm worried... ", I said removing my hand from her mouth. She hesitates before snapping her finger. I stare at her with a questionable glance. "Dag gone it! I've got it....let's do a pop up!", "A pop up?", I repeated in question. "Yes!! We pay Michael a visit... it's on me no penalty... I'll sweet talk the boss for ya!", I think about for a minute then nod. "Okay...lets go..no time to waste!", I nod and we quickly stand up. I grab the bag of Snickers mini's and we speed walk out of the office. "We're taking my car...", Bethany stated pointing to her white and black mini Cooper S. We quickly climb inside waisting no time. I direct her with each street. The woman needs her license revoked. She's definitely a Texan. "Alright huns... this is his record label?", I nod. "You guys must be rich!!", I shake my head. "Michael probably is...I don't care let's just find out what's wrong... ", She nods climbing out of the car. I do the same. "You have a key to this place right?", I nod and search my wallet for it. Once I find it I flash to her before unlocking the door. Bethany squeals glancing around at everything. "You Jackson's do it biig!! This is bigger than my cousins 1,000 acre goat and pig farm!", she exasperated with wide eyes. I roll my eyes shaking my head. "Focus...Bethany... ", She gives me an apologetic smile. I walk up through the front until  find the front desk. I spot Bryan looking like He saw a ghost. I jog over to him while Bethany follows. "Bryan?.. ", He slowly looks at me. "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry... ", "Bryan... where's Michael? Why are you apologizing? ", He stands up. "I-I didn't know... ", He walks from behind the desk and continues walking down the hall. I look at Bethany. "Well don't just stand there! Let's follow The little guy...", I nod and quickly jog up to Bryan. I hear voices. They don't sound happy. "They're in here.... I've been too scared to call the cops... He said He had a gun...", I gasp and look at Bethany. "Michael! ",...

*Michael's Point Of View *

My head hurts. I can't feel my body. I am unaware of my surroundings. Yet I hear sirens..Yes that's it! Sirens. I groan and squinch my eyes at the bright light before me. "Michael?! Umm sir I think he's awake!", "Are you sure honey? He looks as knocked as uncle Roy after Thanksgiving supper..", I heard voices say. I groan again and open my mouth. "M-my head.... i-it hurts..", Someone gasps. "He's talking!! He's.... ", everything goes blank. I wake up a few hours later I suppose, this time in a hospital bed. "Michael? Papa can you hear me?", I heard a light voice ask. I turn my head to See my beautiful wife. "Mama?..Where am I?", She giggles clearly holding back tears. "Well... you're in a hospital bed Mr. Jackson... ", another chimed in. This voice had a strong heavy Texan accent. I turn towards the voices director of the voice and See a curvy woman with beautiful red hair. she looks just a bit older than Marilyn and I. "Oh... why am I here? Am I okay?!", Marilyn stands up and takes my hand. "Calm down papa... you just suffered a minor head injury... ", "What!? How?!", She caresses my hands with her thumbs. "Channing... He came by your office...you guys had a brawl... you got seriously injured... he's going to jail if you press charges... ", I look at Marilyn who has tears in her eyes. "This is my fault.... I should have known He was crazy!! What in the fuck is wrong with me?!", She exclaimed pressing her face against our hands. "I'm gonna be outside getting some air and watching the kid's... ", The red haired lady said slipping out. Marilyn finally looks up. "That's my supervisor Bethany... ", I nod. "So where is He?", "At a local police station on holding...", I sigh. "Babygirl please stop crying... I'm okay... just a headache...how are the kid's? ", She sighs. "Missing you...", "Well... let them come in.." "I can't papa not until you're cleared..", I groan. "Well can you lay with me?", She furrows her eyebrows. "Think that's a good idea?", I nod. "Okay papa..", I scoot over and make room. "I was so scared when the ambulance found you unconscious.... ", "Shh mama... I don't want to think about that...just let me hold you...", She sighs and buries her head into my chest. I stroke her forehead with my free arm. This woman is definitely a blessing. But Channing has to pay for this...
