For All Time

Chapter 4

"Your Grounded."

"Wha?, Susanne, why?" I asked. I was standing in the middle of the kitchen, I had just gotten hom and we'd have been arguing for a whole straight ten minutes.

"Because for you one you kissed Michael-"

"What's wrong with me kissing him, Huh?"i asked angrily. i hated it when Susanne was like that, just being so over protective of me like she was my mother, Yeah she was my god mother but that's different from a real mother. These was one of the times when i wished my mother was with me, I knew she wouild've understand."Y'all walk around her acting like y'all know what's best for Michael when really, your just sheltering him, and he doesn't like it. HE practically the star of that group and y'all treat him like he's still a kid. Michael doesn't need that. It's no wonder he's so shy, and he keeps to himself, He doesn't trust anyone but me and Katherine and that's it. He feels trapped by his own father and his brothers because they try to use him and he hasn't even got his solo album out yet. Y'all act like he's gonna be around for the rest of his life but, i'm telling you this now, if you keep doing this your gonna drive him away. The Jackson 5 is almost finished now, Michael is turning to his own music now and he doesn't need you or anybody else controlling it."

Susanne let a long sigh."Look Aaliyah i know you love Michael, I understand that but we can't allow you to keep seeing each other anymore." She tried to give me a sad expression but i knew it was fake, I could tell by the look she had in her hazel brown eyes.

"Susanne you can't do that, There's no telling what kind of state of mind he would be in if you forbid us to see each other."I said as I pulled away from her glare."You don't understand at all, Michael needs to be loved, he need comforting and if you take him away from me there's no telling what he would do."I said remembering his words from earlier. 'it's like, my life don't mean nothing to me anymore.......' i cringed remembering his cold words."And I'm telling you this now Susanne, I love Michael, and loves me to, And there isn't anything you or anybody else can do about it. And going to continue seeing Michael too, joseph's never there anyway so it wouldn't make no difference"I turned and headed for the stair case.

"Hold on a minute young lady, You didn't let me finish."

I rolled my eyes.oh my God, I turned around and looked at her.

"You are not allowed to us your car, until you can' learn how to respect others......"

"Respect?"

How is Kissing Michael disrespectful?I decided to let it go."You can't take my car I need it to go to the recording studio, and I'm filming a video tomorrow."

"I will have somebody drive you to your locations."She said.

"I don't want known of those slow a-"I growled and then regretted it instantly.

"And now you went on two months. Keep going and I'll keep adding on to that."She said.

"But-"

"Three Months"She said holding up three fingers.

I just stared at her for a long moment and then turned around and headed for the stairs again.

"I'm sorry Aaliyah but as your mother I have to so what's best."She said.

I slowly turned around."You are not my mother, because my mother would've understood where I was coming from."I said the stepped up on one of the steps."You, Your just so.............damn uncompromising."then i ran back up the stairs.

I cryed my eyes out for the rest of the night. Not because of my car being taking away. Or the fact that i was grounded for Three months, I cryed because i worried about Michael.
