The charity of love

Motown

25th March 1983

There he was. There they was. Legends at work.

They was up dancing and getting the crowd to join in.

"STOP the love you save may be your own..." they sing, Michael over powering them as he's always been the lead singer. Even from being a child.

I was up dancing clapping my hand and enjoying myself.

The Jackson 5 medley was soon over and the Jackson brothers left the stage.. all but Michael.

"But I like— the new songs" he said as the beat to Billie Jean started up loudly.
He did a full routine with a hat...
he eventually took the hat off and threw it off to the side of the stage so he could carry on.

"She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene" he sung winking over at me, dancing around the stage as people joined in with him, danced and sung.

I even sore some children get all excited when the best to Billie Jean started up. It made me smile so much, knowing Michael is loved by all ages. Men and women... children. Old people. Teenagers. It's crazy. This man is unstoppable, he's on top of the world right now. And he's still managed to stay humble and loving.

He glided back when the instrumental breakdown came on, he then stood on his toes but kinda shook and landed on his feet again.
The whole crowd was astonished.

"What the hell was that??" Bill asked feeling amazed by Michael and his ability.
I shook my head staring at him dancing around the stage "honestly? I don't know"

Bill and I went backstage as Michael finished his performance.

"Where's mike??" I asked Jackie, Jackie smiled at me then shrugged "not too sure, I think he said he was off to the toilet.. he's most likely using the toilet in his changing room"

"Thank you" I nod and leave the main room backstage.

I knock on Michael's dressing room door and wait patiently.
As I'm waiting, I hear sniffs coming from the other side of the door. I frown and just decide to open the door. He's curled up with his knees to his chest crying.

"Aw Michael!" I cooed and walked over to him. I sat on the floor with him and hugged him tight "what's up babe??" I asked softly.
"I did so bad out there" he whimpered "I just- I tried, my ankle weakened on me which made me cockle when I did the toestand"

"Michael.." I laughed softly making him look up at me and frown "you did fucking amazing out there. Bill and I was stood next to a few little kids, the girls in beautiful dresses and the boys in smart tuxedos and they was up dancing with you and signing. They was amazed by your presence and your ability.. when you did that with your feet they screamed for you. One of the girls fainted.." I giggled

"Really?" He gasped looking slightly worried "I want to see her..." he said "is she okay, is she hurt??"

"No she's fine now, some workers and her mum took her backstage somewhere.. I'm guessing to a medical room where she can rest?? I don't know" I shrugged

"Bless her" he frowned.

"Now get up, boy. You did amazing" I say jumping up and pulling him up with me.

"What was that thing you did with your feet?" I asked as he stood up.
"The toe stand?" He rose a brow making me shake my head "nah, the gliding thing across the floor" I said

"Ohhhh," he raised his brows nodding "that was the moonwalk"

"Why's it called that?" I frowned
"Because it's defying the laws of physics. I'm move backwards yet it looks like I'm going forwards." He said, matter of factly.

"Cool, it was great!" I smiled enthusiastically.

"Give me a kiss girl," he smiled grabbing my hand and pulling me to him "I missed you" he kissed me softly.
I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back.. my fingers tangled themselves in his jet black Jeri curls.
He moaned into my mouth pulling me closer to him by my hips.

"Yo, stop making out and get your asses out here.. we got a party to attend to!" Jackie exclaimed shutting the door behind him as he left.
Michael groaned "I don't wanna go to no party.. I just wanna be with you" he frowned "I've missed you" he sighed "I just wanna spend some time with my girl, damn"

"You know what the media is like Michael— they'll say shit about you for not attending the party.. we should just go you know. For two hours or something.." I rubbed his chest and spoke softly. He inhaled my vanilla scent "and after those two hours we can go back to mine.. watch a movie and cuddle up in bed" I smiled

He nodded his head quickly "I like the sound of that.. come on" he dragged me out the door quickly as we made our way to the main room for the 'after party'.
