Over My Dead Body | MJ FF

The One That Got Away

Irene's POV

In just a few seconds, your life can flip upside down. When i died my life was flipped; never to be turned back on the right side again. And it's just so strange how life works. How everything can be beautiful one moment then the next it's ugly. I will never understand why i died so young, why my cousin killed me, why Michael stayed through all the bullshit, why Mykoel decided to fall in love with me. I will never understand any of it.

Sometimes i get so angry. Why me? Why couldn't my life just be how it was. Normal. I appreciated life, never took it for granted at all. I was a Christian, followed most of the commandments to a certain extent. Overall i was a good person so why did these horrible things have to happen to me. Why is life so unfair. Why....

My mouth is dry. My palms are sweaty, my nerves are shot to hell and the tears that's falling seems endless. My worst nightmare has come true.

Earlier That Day

"Wow this house is absolutely stunning!" I was looking through one of the brochures Michael gave me of our new home.

"I knew you would love it!" Michael bent down towards my level placing a kiss on my cheek. I smiled.

"Can't believe we're leaving tomorrow morning. But I'm happy for the new change. We definitely need it"

"You're absolutely right about that. This house here will only bring us sadness because of all the horrid memories. In our new home we can make happy ones"

"Yes! With our future dog" Michael laughed. "Ofcourse! We can never forget about the dog. As soon as we move in we're gonna go and get ourselves a pup"

I happily sighed. "Life is amazing" Michael and I have been so excited these last few days for the move. That's all we talk about. We barely slept because our excitement levels were pumping through our veins like adrenaline.

"Babe remember when we first met at the Academy Awards?" Michael asked.

"How could i ever forget? That was probably one of the best days in my life. I was sad at first but you quickly turned it around"

"Mines too. Just to think if that guy would've never stood you up. We probably wouldn't be together right now. Speaking of that guy who was he? I still want to know"

I playfully rolled my eyes. "It was Rick James" Michael's eyes slightly widened. "Are you serious? Him? It's hard to believe you liked him. He was so....so-"

"So what? Wild? Promiscuous? Carefree?" Michael nodded. "You took the words right out of my mouth" I laughed.

"Yeah he was definitely something else but man oh man did i have some crazy times with him" I winked at Michael causing him to shoot me a jealous glare.

I held my hands up in defense "I'm just playing babe! Don't get jealous"

"I'm not jealous!"

"Mhmmm, whatever you say babe"

"Did you guys really have sex?" I shook my head. "Really Michael?"

"Awe come on. Just tell me"

"No we didn't, did you and Brooke ever had sex?" I squinted my eyes at him.

"No but we did...things"

"Things like what?" Michael rolled his eyes.

"I'm really not trying to go into details"
