It's almost 7 p.m. and I'm STILL roaming the streets of Japan. I've calmed down alot, and I'm actually willing to go back and talk this out with Maria. I kinda Miss her. I mean, she is the bestest friend that I've got. And the thought of me losing that friendship sickens me! I can't go on with this tour without my dear friend at my side! I need her words of encouragement to keep me going when I'm too tired to finish a show, and I need her because she is the only one, besides my mother, who actually believes in me...It's no secret that my childhood wasn't much of a damn childhood. I mean, the only happy memory I have of my father is when me and all my brothers went an entire practice without missing a step, or goin' outta tune, so he went out and bought us donuts. So as far as I'm concerned, Love is a  donut...*Giggles* But, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be the "Michael Jackson" You all know and love. Hard work, pays off I guess. It's starting to get dark...I need to head back because I know Lisa and Maria are on edge! 

"Maria, babydoll, don't cry! You've shed so many tears already...I can't stand to see you like this Ria. He'll be back. I promise." Lisa whispered in Maria's ear as she held her in her arms. Maria is torn over the fact that it has been almost 8 hours since Michael left. She's afraid that Lamar has gotten to Michael before he had the chance to come back to the hotel. Little does she know, Michael has already arrived at the hotel, and is on the other side of the door listening to her and Lisa's conversation, trying not to fall to his knees and weep. "This situation is gonna burden me for the rest of my fucking life." Michael whispered to himself and knocked on the door. Lisa and Maria jumped at the sound of the door. "W-Who is it?" Maria whimpered. "It's me, stankah." "Oh my! It's Mikey!!!" Lisa jumped up and opened the door and jumped around Michael's neck." Lisa! Stop it! We're not kids anymore!" Michael giggled. Just then Lisa stopped, looked into Michael's eyes and whispered: "Get your ass in there and do whats right...I'll see you later..." Lisa said sturnly as she pointed towards the room where Maria was. "Goodbye, Mikey." Lisa whispered as she kissed Michael's cheek. Michael took a deep breath and went in the room and laid in the bed with Maria. "Hello my dear. I'm back..." He said as he removed his loafers and hoodie. "Where in the living hell? I mean, really. Lamars out there, SOMEWHERE, running wild, and you think it's a smart idea for you to go roam the damn streets like a puppy with no home? HUH?!" Maria yelled and grabbed her stomach in pain. "Look, Maria, I'm sorry alright! I just had to leave because I felt like you deserved time away from me because I am the reason that Lamar..." "Shhh...Im tired of you and that STUPID idea! NO! You are not responcible for ANY of this! I need you here with me because the doctor only talked to you and told what all you have to do to help me get better and all of that stuff! Not Lisa, or anyone else in this group that came with us. And another thing... Lamar being here slipped your mind. I get that. To make you feel better, It slipped mine too!" Michael lifted his head from the pillow. "It did?" He gasped. "Yea! I would've gone with you on my own terms if it didn't!"

Maria giggled and Michael rolled over to face Maria. "I know you're tired of hearing me say I'm sorry but, I really am!" Michael bushed and burried his face in the pillow again. "I accept. Even though it wasn't needed Applehead!" Maria then sat up. "I'm gonna go to the bathroom" Maria said. "Do you need any help?" "No, maybe, but I wanna see if I can make it on my own for once." Maria got up and tried to walk to the bathroom herself. She failed to make it past the T.V. stand. Maria hit he floor with a loud boom. "Shit!" Michael yelled and jumped from the bed. "I'm fine Michael! Just take my ass to the restroom please..." Maria said annoyed. "Okay..."Michael picked Mari up and took her to the restroom. "Call me to come get you when you're finished Maria." He said as he closed the door.
