Fault In Our Stars (Michael Jackson)

Ch.8- Enchanted

Billie's POV

When I woke this morning, I felt far better than how I felt the previous morning. The funny thing is that I still had my test to stress and cry my eyes out for but I guess that it wasn't the most important thing to me. What's important is that I had Michael sleep over and we spoke the whole night about random things and we watched 'Paranormal Activity' and DANG! It was creepy!! And I then fell asleep while thinking about him back to when he was speaking about where his concerts were taking place and stuff. Coming to think of it... where is he?

 While I was wondering my brains out, I heard something fall in the lounge. I hopped out of bed and grabbed Drew's hockey stick that was in my room. I crept out of my room like a ninja. I was just hoping that Michael was not inside and would see me creep out like...well... a creep. He'd just tease me the entire time because it became quite evident last night that I was his clown. I made it to the lounge and, to my surprise, unharmed.

I glanced over to the floor and saw that it was the teeny tiny vase that posed on my piano that fell off and had the end of its existence. I'm sure that it was my cat, Kitsea. After cleaning it up, I just looked around the room if I'd maybe spot anything that was out of the ordinary or maybe Michael.

"None to see here", I sighed as I turned around to head to the bathroom.

"Wait", I breathed to myself. I saw something red, on the kitchen counter. I didn't hesitate to turn around and when I did, it was something red. It was a rose with something under it. I slowly walked over to it. It was a rose with a letter and on it was written "MICHAEL" and a yummy Starbucks coffee next to it. I inhaled heavily.

I picked the rose up delicately and smelt it. I picked the letter and I walked with the 'gifts' to the chair at my piano. I opened the letter and it said:

Dear Billie

 

I'm quite sure that you're saddened by my departure but I had to leave before the neighbours awoke.  I didn't have any time for cameras and stuff. I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye, in case you thought I might not come back. I was really scared. Why you ask? Well, Quincy could be really pissed at me.

 

I never forgot about your exam tomorrow, so I don't want to bother you today. But after your exam I'm going to irritate you just like I did last night. The rose is just a kind gesture. My hat and jacket is hung behind the door not because I forget them but just to proof to you that I'm coming back. And please get your jokes and pranks ready though because last night I was 'obviously' the master.  But most importantly, get ready for the exam. Oh, I got you Starbucks coffee, I was not sure what flavour you like though.

 

Sealing my feelings in this envelope

 Applehead

Applehead? And ait...what? "Sealing my feelings in this envelope"? That's something that I write at the end of my letters...why  did he use it? I took a dip from the coffee. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! JUST THE FLAVOUR I LIKE! 'MINTY CUPPICINO' But how would Michael know this?

I opened the cover off my piano and thought to myself that he's actually sweet though. I mean. Like really sweet. I'm not even thinking about going to lecture today. I'd rather study my last few nerves to roast.

I played a few keys that came to my mind and started to sing.

(1st verse)THERE I WAS AGAIN TONIGHT

FORCING LAUGHTER FAKING SMILES

SAME OLD TIRED LONELY PLACE...

WALLS OF INSENCERITY

SHIFTING EYES AND VACANCY

VANISHED WHEN I SAW YOUR FACE...

(Pre-chorus) ALL I CAN SAY IS IT WAS ENCHANTING TO MEET YOU

(1st verse)YOUR EYES WHISPERED HAVE WE MET?

ACROSS THE ROOM- YOUR SILHOUETTE STARTS TO MAKE ITS WAY TO ME

THE PLAYFUL CONVERSATION STARTS

COUNTER ALL YOUR QUICK REMARKS LIKE PASSING NOTES IN SECRECY

(Pre-Chorus) AND IT WAS ENCHANTING TO MEET YOU

ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WAS ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU

(Chorus)

This night is sparkling - don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck- blushing all the way home

I'll stay forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you

And that's how far I came. I just randomly sang this piece by improvising. I snatched the music page and scrambled on the staves the clefs, time signature, the notes and lyrics. These lyrics are exactly how I felt last night. The way he looked at me from the stage was like "have I seen you anywhere?" and he just walked up to me and squeezed the pain from me. And I was forcing my laughter and faking laughter and faking smiles. Now I'm really bubbly and happy this morning. Hey, let me go study now. I sipped from my coffee. Mm, wait, where's Drew?
