"I didn't know the rain was purple." Michael looked deeply into Prince's eyes, with crimson cheeks.
"That's until you helped me see it."

Prince
"And then she had the nerve to say, our child would never do such a thing." I rolled my eyes, holding the phone to my ear as I continued rant to Michael about what went down a couple of minutes ago between me and those very ignorant parents. Michael scoffed, "That's what every in denial parent says."
"Exactly," I add. "Then after I explained what Lenard was going through and told them to have more respect, the Father goes, we have no respect for people like you. Michael, I swear, it took everything in me not to beat a nigga's ass."
"He's lucky we both weren't there, I don't condone fighting, but he would've been six feet under so quick." Michael sighs, "That's beyond disrespectful, and clearly racist. I don't know, babe. After that incident, I feel like we should put the kids in private school."
"Private school? Michael, I thought we agreed that we wanted the kids to have a normal life. Doesn't sending them to a Private school take away from that?" I questioned, leaning against the wall.
"Maybe it's not completely normal like we wanted it. However, we need to make this call. At least at the end of the day they are getting an education, right? Also, it's clear that the school that they're going to isn't a good environment at all. No matter how hard the parents were trying to make their child innocent in that situation, they were all wrong, period. It could get dangerous, especially for them since they are young black children."
He was right, I knew he was right. I just never would've known that Minnesota would be a place where my kids wouldn't be safe. It wasn't always like that, it use to be very safe, which was why I never left. But, I felt like ever since Tyka's passing, things around here changed. It's not the same, and I didn't know what to do.
"You're right," I understood. "Where would be send them, though? There's no Private schools in Minnesota that I know of, and would make a difference with the situation we just had."
Michael stayed silent for a little bit before he came up with an idea, "Maybe it's time that we should all move somewhere new, together."
I widened my eyes, and stood there in deep thought. Everything that I had wanted in life, was happening so fast; The love of my life, marriage, owning a home, and kids, even though at first I didn't know I would be a parent. If I was in any other situation, I probably would've been really nervous to take the next step, but with Michael, I felt like it was meant to be. Even though, I never really pictured myself leaving in Minnesota in the past, I knew it was the best option for us. We wouldn't have to live in separate houses, and be miles apart from each other. We would be together. However, I did really love my home Paisley Park, and I never planned on selling it. I knew Michael felt the same way about Neverland, so that was tricky.
