MICHAEL'S POV*********~~~~~~
This is my first time going back to Washington since Ariel and I. It was hard to go back especially after Dr.Kings death. I stared out the Air Plane window. I always got nervous on Air planes. But i still stared out the window though. I was lost in deep thought. I couldn't give you a good reason why i didnt go back for her. But i was scared, i was coward. Joseph beat me senseless when i got home and i got a few death threats. I wanted to go back for her, but my future was in the palm of my hand. my brothers and I started singing at clubs to make money to help out our parents. Then it took off from there. Someone saw talent in us and wanted us to audition for a record label and the next thing i knew we were signed. I told my brothers i was going to go back for her. Then they told the record label owner and he told me if i was to, that my music career could be over. People wouldn't like it. He told me it was bad enough i was on the cover of the paper kissing her. so a few years later, My career really took off. I was preforming in front of thousands and thousands of people. but it was really embarrassing when i fell and broke my nose and got a nose job. I mean things happen i guess.My 2nd solo record was sell like crazy but not as good as i wanted. I was disappoint with Off The Wall. I love that Album but it didn't win like i wanted it to. This one has to be big. So were doing music videos or as i call them short films.
I had a little bit of fear about running into Ariel, but then I wanted too. I wanted to tell her everything. I cant imagine how hurt she was when waiting for me, maybe she didn't wait for me? I wonder how she felt when she saw me on TV or saw me with Tatum O'Neal or with Brooke Shields. None them compared to Ariel though. Ariel has this wild fire and kind hearted spirit , and stubbornness that cant be replaced. I thirst for her some day and some day i thought we were better off.
My plane finally landed, they transferred me to a limo as quick as possible. We drove to the Hotel and we all rested for the next day.
I woke up early the next day to prepare for everything. I went to the dance studio early and met with the director. We talked for about an hour. We decided i was going to sit back and watch. I Sat behind this wall where i could see them but they couldn't see me. Its was pretty cool! Its 30 minutes before they start. The director is going to tell them everything got delayed. My eyes scanned each person as they walked in. Everything was about to start.
" Wheres A at?" a light skins color guy asked.
" What do you mean, man shes always late." another male yelled laughing.
Whose A? was my question. 5 minutes passed and the door opened. My heart dropped to my stomach. I felt like i was going to throw up. this cant be happening! I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She looked fine as hell too. Ariel walked in smiling, she hugged the guy who asked for 'A' which i guess is her nickname. My heart was pumping out of my chest. she didn't look the same. She was beyond beautiful but she didnt have the sparkle in her eyes. I wonder if i did that. Her and this guy fooled around as the stretched. I wander when she became a dancer? I never knew she could dance... She keep flirting with that guy! I could feel the jealousy rising in me.
I had in a ear piece so i could hear everything said in the room. Attitude is very important when it came to preforming so i needed to hear their reactions to everything.
The director told them about the "delay" and told everyone to pair up and do warm up dances and of course that dude pairs up with Ariel....-_-
I could hear her laughing through the Mic. It was music to my hears. Hours went by. I watched her body move, it was amazing, she was amazing. Shes the only person i could actually focus on. She got so frustrated when she messed up, it was cute. I watched her let the music take control of her body. She moved so gracefully.
They finally finished their last routine. This is where the Director tells them who is here and everything.
" well i got some news for you guys." the director began. " The person who wants to gather some dancers is here right now." all the dancers gasped or had a confused expression. i particularly focus on Ariel. I didnt know what her reaction was going to be.
" Hes watched you this whole time, i hope you guys gave this practice/audition all you had. The celebrity thats here today is......Michael Jackson." Ariel expression was unreadable. She got up quickly throwing her bag over her shoulder running out. I had to go after he. I ran through the back door and ran after her. I saw her walking fast down the side walk. She was wiping her face as she did.
" Ariel! Ariel Stop!" I yelled. She kept walking. I ran fast grabbing her arm," Ariel!" i said. BAM her hand flew across my face. I let go of her arm holding my cheek in surprise. Her eyes were filled with tears and her breathing was heavy.
" Dont ever touch me again, you asshole!" she shouted trying to walk off, but i grabbed her again.
" Let go of me!" she yelled, trying to tug out of my grip.
" Would you just stop!" I yelled grabbing both of her arms. she broke down crying. I pulled her into my chest as she cried.
" I hate you, i hate you I HATE YOU!" she kept saying punching my chest. It was like knives into my heart every time she said it, but i deserved it.
"I-i'm sorry " is all i could say.
" Your sorry? 7 years all you have to say is sorry! I lost EVERYTHING because of you!" She yelled pushing me away from her, i gave her a confused look. Her eyes were filled with pain. " I-I dont know what you want me to say..." i said in a small voice.
" Tell me why! i wanna know why you lied to me. You promised me! You promised you'd come back for me! " she yelled crying. Now the whole dance studio crew was standing outside watching us.
" Can we go some where private?" i asked.
she shook her head at me. " No, i want to know right fucking now!" she shouted. I felt like i was about to cry, she seemed so broken.
"i-i was scared. Okay? I was scared!" i said giving in.
" Scared?You were scared? I was scared too! My dad beat the living shit out of me the night you left. Michael he put me in the hospital! Then i got kicked out and disowned. I've been alone and waiting for you for 7 god damn long years and you were scared...." she looked at me in disbelief shaking her head. I didnt know what to say. I stood there, she shook her head and walked away but this time i didn't go after her. I stood there watching her walk away. tears stung my eyes. My limo pulled up to the side of me.
" lets go back to the hotel, michael." Bill said. Bill was a good friend and my driver.
I got in the car, trying to hold back my tears. " Was that her?" He asked. I nodded as tears slipped onto my cheeks.
" I really messed up, Bill." i said with a crack in my voice. He didnt answer back. We got to the Hotel i hurried up to my suite. I got in quickly, shutting the door sliding down it crying my eyes out.
