The Abused

CHAPTER#23: The Big Day

I stirr around in my sleep and my back is aching badly. I sit up only to see myself alone on the floor..

I rub my eyes and I look around and I'm on the living room floor by the couch.

So much for being on the actual couch!

I get up and I see the front door nob jiggle.. it opens and in walks Michael with some girl and Janet. I smile as I dust myself off feeling awkward considering I was just sleep and probably look a mess..

The girl has drawers on wheels.. wow. What is that thing?

She walks over to me with Janet and she says,"Hello! My name is Selest. I'm a good friend of the Jackson family." She stretches her hand out and I reluctantly shake it looking over to Michael for explanation..

He says,"I see your up sleepy head. This is Selest a family friend as well as our - ermm.. Janet, Rebbie, and Latoya's make up artist."

Janet says,"Rebbie had work to do but, I'm here hehe. Oh, and Selest will be doing your makeup today is that alright with you?"

I literally just woke up. No shower or anything.

'I- I haven't really had a shower.. I just kinda..- woke up.' Selest says,"No prob honey. You can go take a shower and I'll wait for you to get done. Oh, do your hair too. Preferably.. curls.. they'll go perfect with your dress. Also, just put on a tank top and shorts or pants we wouldn't want you to get all sweaty."

Selest pats my shoulder and I smile before turning around and slowly but surely making my way upstairs. Geez, its like another mother. I didn't expect a stranger to come into my home and make decisions for me.

Well alrighty then.

Once I get into my room I get my all white tank top and a pair of gray shorts before grabbing my under clothes and heading into my bathroom.

I decided to wash my hair aswell..

Once I finish showering and getting dressed I grab the hair curlers and I get to work on my hair.

*30 mins later*

Well that didn't take very long. I unplug the curlers and I leave it sitting on a towel on the counter. I head downstairs to see a sleeping Janet. Michael says,"What took so long for crying out loud?"

I argue,'I was not in there for that long.' He mumbles,"Wanna bet.."

I roll my eyes and Selest claps her hands together and smiles. "Are you ready hun?" I smile back nodding my head. Boy that shower was sure relaxing..

She says,"Okay so.. I do theatre makeup as well as make up for singers.. and films.. just things of that nature. So, what exactly would you like for me to do to your face?"

I just sit there dumbfounded. Thats alot.. and I don't know what I want.

She chuckles. She asks,"Would you like to look at the dress your boyfriend bought for you and try to go from there with the make up?"

Michael bought me a dress? Thats the first thing you question. You couldn't even adress the fact that he wasn't your boyfriend? You're in looove..

"Hello?" 'Huh? I'm sorry, yes I'd like to see the dress thank you.' She takes a long bag which the dress is inside and she pulls it out.

My jaw drops in awe..

There's not much color to the dress but, its beautiful. I question,'M-Michael, how much was this dress?' He says,"Oh.. uh, it was only 599..," the last part he says barely above a whisper.
