I bandaged my head in Janet's bathroom, still getting envious that she and Michael had restrooms inside of their bedrooms.

I steppd out of the bathroom, reading to skirt right out of Janet's room to avoid my curiosity but then it took over and I approached the bookcase.

My eyes mysteriously landed on a crate pushed back in the place where books were supposed to be. I pulling it out by the handle and dropped it on Janet's large bed.

I looked inside and gasped. Numerous tabloids were stuffed inside and on each cover of each paper. The name WACKO JACKO were on the cover.

"I tried to hide them from him for the first years."

I whirled to see Janet entering the room, her hands behind her back, sadness in her eyes. "Because I remember hearing him crying in his room every night. My brother was being hurt by these harsh people who made up lies about him." She sat on the side of the bed. "Look through them."

"Why?" I asked.

She shrugged. "I know you want to."

I agreed, reaching over and grabbing the magazines.

"Michael has a journal?" I asked curiously, turning toward Janet who had been picking at her pretty nails.

"Had a journal," Janet approached the bed and picked up the tabloid I'd just read. "The housemaid Ms. Rubbel, was being pretty nosy and found it. Leaked the pages online. I hated her, I still do."

I sighed. "I never knew that."

The door to her bedroom burst open and Jermaine was stumbling inside, out of breath. "It's Dad, Janet. He's going crazy."

"Let's go." Janet said.
