How Do I Tell Him? :: An MJ Fan-Fic

Chapter 2

When I awakened I found myself sprawled out on my couch; bag of chips in one hand and a Pepsi in the other. I then suddenly hear the door bell. Who would be at my door THIS early in the morning?? I open it and there stood Michael, Autumn, Brooke, Chyna, Justin, and Austin with there bags and suitcases.
"Hey Michelle!" They all said in unison.
"Hey guys!" I reply with a greeting tone, "Isn't it a bit early?"
"No way~!" Chyna responds to me showing her watch. "It's noon!" She was correct. It was 12:45! I overslept.
"By any chance can we come inside? It's a bit humid and I want my hair to stay sane...." Brooke then inturupts.
" Nah I'll let your hair turn into an Afro." I say while rolling my eyes. I heard Mike chuckle in the back of the tiny crowd.
"But...CAN we come in?" Mike asks.
"Sure." I let them in and they sit all there bags on the floor in the hallway; still leaving a walkway to path. I walk into Hailey's room and I find her watching Sesame Street. I giggle. She looks up at me and smiles.
"Mornin' sleepy head" She says to me while getting her bag. I take it and get my own from my room. I come back and Hailey is practicly jumping all over Michael. She hasn't seen him for a while either. I just watch with a chuckle.
"You're not gunna help, are ya Michelle?" He asks laughing. I shake my head. He plays with her as I get my keys.
"Come on guys! I wanna get there early so we have more time to explore the place!" I say while loading up all the bags in my van. Michael gets in the driver seat, I get in the passenger, Autumn, Hailey, and Brooke sit behind us, and Chyna, Justin, and Austin sit in the very back.
" Mike's in the driver? This will turn out great..." Chyna says jokingly.
" Michael...Don't kill us now..." I say with the same joking tone.
"Hmph, I am the best driver there ever was!"
He drives off and looks at the GPS while driving. "How long will it take to get there anyways?
"About six hours" I respond.
"SIX HOURS?!" Brooke then interrupts as if it was the end of the world. "Why couldn't we just take a plane?! It's crowded in here ya' know!"
"I am scared of planes..." Mike and I say at the same time. We were both terrified at the fact of being airborn...Heck, we would rather WALK! I hear Brooke's famous groan and she plops her back to the seat.
The whole ride was pretty loud. Everyone was talking to each other on different subjects; like what the expect it to look like, what they'll do, and so on. When we finally got there it was almost eight o' clock because all the bath room breaks Brooke and Chyna just "had" to take. It was a bit dark when we got out. We all streched from the long ride and got our bags to unpack. When we walked in we were awestuck. The whole place was so big and roomy! I could get lost in here! We called dibs on the rooms and I got one beside Michael's, Hailey's, and across from Chyna's. Justin and Austin took the rooms the farthest from the door. Autumn took the one right next to the door, and Brooke took the one alone nearest to the indoor pool. We unpacked and most of us went to bed. Michael and I couldn't sleep for some reason. We layed on our beds for about 30 minutes until my stomach started to growl like a beast. I forgot to eat and I never got a snack from any stores. I got up and went into the kitchen for a small bag of chips (like the $0.99 ones) and stood there eating them. I guess Mike either heard my footsteps or heard me munchin' on the chips because he came out with his red pajamas....and why was he wearing a hat?? anyways, he walked up to me.
"You can't sleep either?" He asked me while getting out a drink from the fridge.
"Nah..."
" Me either...Wanna go try out the indoor pool?"
" Sure, not like I have anything better to do, heh."
He goes back into his room and changes, I do the same. I change into this:  and grab a towel to dry off with. I walk out and he was already swimming...he did look......kinda sexy with his shirt off...WAIT, HOLD UP! What am I saying?? He is my FRIEND. Snap out of it! I jump in the pool, hiding my now rosy cheeks. We swam around for a while until we got tired and rested on the lounge chairs over next to an almost theater sized TV. Mike was a bit more tired then me. What I expected to be a relaxing time soon changed when Michael broke the ice.
"Wanna have a race?"
I smirk while slowly getting up, "Sure, who ever loses has to buy the other whatever they want~" I knew how tired he was, so I knew I was definatly going to win.
"Okay then," He says smiling and getting up. " 2 laps in the pool. ready? go-"
I was already half way through the first lap, the pool was 6 ft at first, but up to 12 ft deep in the middle and VERY, VERY big. So I was dead center with the "12 ft" sign on the sides.
" No fair!! You cheated!!" He yells while diving in. surprisingly he was MUCH faster than I was. Maybe he was faking it hehe. By the time that I started my second lap, I was pushing myself to go faster, he was almost finished! I got closer to him (about 4 feet away) and once again I was in the dead center. I was feeling pride for catching up, but that soon changed when my feeling of pride came into a world of pain...
"DAMN IT!!! F*CKIN CRAMP!!!!" I yell while going under. I knew that I was going under but I had too much pain to remember to hold my breath. I could hear Mike yelling my name with a worry in his tone, but that's all my five sences could do for me. Everything I saw was blurry due to the chlorine. And thanks to the pain I was in I couldn't really feel my body, let alone move it. Soon enough everything faded out.
I slowly open my eyes to a blurry figure in my presence. I cough up water as my vison slowly came to. Michael's face was hovering over mine but not with a faint worry on his face; but a panicked one. He looked worried as hell!
"..Michelle?" He says while giving me my towel, "You okay?"
"Yeah...Fine" I answer in between coughs.
"I am so sorry..."
"Why?"
"Because I made you race me, if I didn't you wouldn't of drowned and you wouldn't of been unconscious."
"It's okay, really. At least I ain't dead, now am I?" I say while covering up with the towel.
"...well you got a point there..." he responds with a faint and light smile. He looked so cute when he smiled :).
He helps me up, as if I just fallen out a wheelchair. I walk myself to my room to change, I still felt a bit weak due to my sudden loss of oxygen. I change back into my PJ's and fall back asleep, before I got the chance to even get under the blankets.
