Rehearsals Resume (Sep. 27, 1987) Part 3

~OH MY JACKSON! I'm sorry this update is so late! But hey, it's still friday doe! lol enjoy!~

"What is there to talk about Michael Joseph?" Asked Maria. She clearly had an attitude, but Michael ignored it. "Maria, I feel like, lately, after you being man handled by Lamar, and the chance of you being pregnant with his child, that you've been going back down a road that me and Lisa can't stand to see you go back down again, stanka." Michael staired at the ceiling. "What road, huh? What you tryna say MIKE? Mmh?" Maria said as she lifted her head from her pillow.  Michael jumped back and almost fell off the bed. He can't understand why she snapped at him. He just wants to help her. "YOU SOUND JUST LIKE THOSE FUCKING DOCTORS MICHAEL!" She screamed. "What in the living hell are you talking about?!" Michael questioned. "Michael I'm not stupid you asshole!" Maria jerked. "YOU THINK I'M FUCKING CRAZY! I KNOW YOU DO MICHAEL!" She yelled. "What? I never said anything like that Maria. Please don't do this...please calm down." Michael has got out of the bed and is standing near the door. Maria starts giggling uncontrollbaly and pulling her hair. "Maria stop!" Michael said in a demanding tone. Maria stopped, and laughed. "Michael, if I wasn't in so much pain, I would come and slap the living shit outta you. Standing right there YOU MOTHER FUCKER!." Maria smiled. Michael then noticed an empty pill bottle on the floor. It looks like someone tried to hide it, but failed. He put two-and-two together. "Maria is high..."

"What the fuck is this Maria? Are you high?! HUH? You tryna kill yourself again Maria?" Maria started pulling her hair again and tears fell from her eyes. "I don't wanna live Michael. Please, let me die! LET ME DIE! Michael ran and grabbed Maria and threw her across his shoulder. He carried her down stairs to Lisa's hotel room. He kncoked on the door. "Who is it?" asked Lisa in a sleepy voice. "It's Michael! Please open up! Maria needs to be checked out!!!" Michael said through the door. Lisa ran to open the door. "What the hell is this?!" Lisa said as she grabbed her chest. "I think she heard us talking Lisa, it's a long story." Michael laid Maria on the couch. By this time, she had already passed out. "Well, why is she passed out Michael?" Lisa said as she put a cool rag on Maria's forehead and stomach. "This should wake her up, now Michael, talk to me. What the hell is goin' on here?!" Lisa questioned. "I went to talk to her, like you said, and she snapped on me! Called me an asshole and someother stuff, she threatened me too! So, I got up and saw an empty pill bottle on the floor! She's high Lisa...she was trying to kill herself again." Michael begain to cry. "Michael...I..." Before Lisa could get her sentence out, Maria woke up and begain to speak. 

"Mikey? Mikey c'mere please." Maria held out her arms so Michael could recieve her into his. "I.Need.Help." She faintly whispered. Michael cried in her arms. "I'm gonna help you get through this no mater what the cost may be!" Maria begain to cry aloud. "Michael! I'm so scared! What if I'm pregnant? HUH? I'm gonna be in your way!" She whimpered. Michael's face tensed up, which mad his already strong jawline stick out even more! "Maria Honesty Cooper, stop saying that you are gonna be in my way! You know I'm not that type of man girl! I've been your backbone since The Jackson 5 days up until now. Why would I abandon you because you may be bringing another life into the world? mmh? Makes no sense, right? Maria, If you are pregnant, I promise that I will help you through it all! I-I'll personally, set up a nursery for the baby at Neverland Ranch! Yes! And I'll be the God-father! The best God-father in the entire world! I'll stay up with the baby when he or she wakes up in the middle of the night and all! Even if you need me o-or Janet during the delivery, we'll be there! I'll be there! Now cut that 'I'll be a burden If I'm pregnant' shit out okay!?" Michael flashed Maria a huge loving smile, and after that, for the first time, Maria felt loved. 

Lisa was holding back tears. She could tell that everything that Michael  said was from the bottom of his heart and that he meant every single word. "Lisa...help Maria get dressed alirght? I'm going back upstairs the get dressed for practice. I'll comebcak down for you two. Maria's wheelchair is in my room...I'll bring it down here." Michael said as he opened the door to exit. "Wait? Who's gonna watch Maria?" Lisa asked in a concerned tone. "We all are, Lisa. She's going to practice with us too." Michael shut the door. Lisa helped Maria into the bath and ironed her something to wear to practice. "See Maria, you didd all that stressin' for nothin'!" Lisa smiled and closed the bathroom do so Maria could soak her pain strickened body.

*~ Michael's POV~*

Maria is such a good bestfriend...I can't allow her to go through this alone. She's been through enough already man, I can't sit back and watch her suffer. If that means that I'm gonna have to sacrafice some of my spare time, then so be it. And Lamar...yeah, ya'll think that I forgot about that guy? hmmm! No way...he's gonna get what's coming to his ass. Knowing this guy, I'm pretty sure he's gonna try and kill me while im on stage infront of millions of people, but he doesn't care. Thats the kind of sick, weak, and cruel man that he is. I guess he wasn't raised like the rest of us. I don't give a damn about how he was raised! You don't have to be raised right to know that hitting a woman and raping a woman against her will is wrong!...Am I right? I mean, that should be common- fucking- sense! It also should be common sense not to mess with a friend of Michael Joseph Jackson...especially my bestfriend! Whatever... he just better be ready for whats in store for him! Shit, its almost seven. Let me go get the girls so we can go.

Michael went downstairs with Maria's wheelchair. When he got there, he realized that him and Maria were dressed alike! They both had on whites tee shirts, ble jeans, and a pair of black and white stripped adidas. The only difference was that Michael's shirt was ripped a little to expose his chest as usual. Coincidence? I think not! "Ria! Am I really that awesome that you have to dress like me girl?" Michael asked. Maria just laughed and shook her head. She's still a little groggy from those pills she took earlier, but she isn't as bad off as she was. "You ready?" Michael said as he wheeled her out of the room. She shook her head and Michael went to load her into the limo. 

10 minutes later, everyone had arrived at the statium for practice. They started practice off with a prayer and then got to work. Maria loved watching Michael dance. Even the ones she has watched him perform a million times! "Can you play track 5 please?" Michael yelled to the sound crew. Maria got excited because she knows that when Mikey asks for track five, he's about to perform her absolute favorite dance rutine of his from her favorite song on the Thriller album, "Billie Jean". Maria loved watching Michael when he grabs his crotch and thrusts his hips up and down to the beat of the drum before he skipped around and begain to Moonwalk. She clapped as Michael, Lisa, and Slash ran through "Dirty Diana" and cried a little when he sung "Human Nature" because that's the song that saved her life.

Practice lasted for about five hours, so everyone was leaving out around twelve thirty that night. "I'm beat!" Michael yawned. "...but I need something to eat." He giggled as his stomach growled out loud. "Let's get some KFC ya'll." Michael said to Lisa and Maria. "You had chicken last night though!" Lisa laughed. "SO! Driver! Driver!" Michael called to Milton, the limo driver. He rolled down the partition when he heard Michael call for him.  "Yes, Michael?" He replied. "Can you take us to my spot please sir" Michael asked with excitement in his voice. The driver shook his head and laughed. "To KFC we go."
