~Flashback~

..."YOU AIN'T BAD, YOU AIN'T NOTHIN!" He playfully yelled, mocking his role of daryl in the Bad short film. "Oh really 'Daryl'?" Maria comes walking out of the kitchen holding a huge tub of whipped cream and a bottle of chocolate syrup. "Wait.Wait.Wait!!! What you doin' with my ice cream stuff girl?! " Michael screamed as he was slowly rising from the couch."Are you gonna tell me now Mr. "King Of Pop"? Maria whispered as she popped the top off of the chocolate syrup and whipped cream. "N-No. No I'm not." Whelp. looks like your gonna need a nice long bath tonight Mike." Maria then chased Michael around the entire living room. "MOTHER! HELP ME!" Michael's mother, Katherine, walked to the stair well that looked down into the living room where her son was crying her name as if he was a toddler. "Michael, honey. You turned 29 a few days ago. Fight your own battles baby."

"Michael? Michael? Wake up babyboy, please." It was Maria. She was told by doctors to try and wake him up. "Huh? Is-is that you mother?" Michael murmmered back in responce. Maria laughed and grabbed his hand. "No Applehead. It's me, Maria!" Michael turned and looked around the room. "Why am I here in the hospital? And why is my head throbbing so bad?" He questioned. Hanan walked forward, towards his bedside. "Well Michael, Somehow, the spotlight fell while your were performing lastnight. Apparently, you jumpped out of it's way, but you landed and hit your head pretty hard. Knocked yourself clean out!" She explained. Michael smiled. "I know it was just that bastard Lamar! I know it was! He wants me dead Maria..." Michael groaned. Just then, One of his backstage tour crew members, Chinna entered the room. "Michael! You're okay!" She said as she ran to hug him and kissed his cheek. Chinna is a beautiful girl. She met Michael through her friends on night at a motown party. They became good friends and she began to work with him behind the scenes. The thing people didn't know was that Michael had caught feelings for Chinna, but his shyness got in the way. So he never asked her out. He was just too scared to do it. Michael's heart rate shot up and he blushed in Chinna's arms. "Are you okay Michael?" Maria asked after she heard the spike in his heart rate through the machine. He nodded his head yes, smiled, and closed his eyes in pleasure. 

Hanan, Lisa, Chinna, Tatiana, Slash, and Maria were so excited! Michael had been unconcious for 8 hours and he had finally woke up! Luckly, he didn't suffer from and cuts or scrapes, he didn't break anything, and he was clear to continue his tour in 48 hours! "Michael, sweety, can't we cancel this damn tour? I mean, it's been hell since we got off the damn plane!" Hanan said with anger in her voice. Chinna nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she's right Mike.  It's been so much goin' on until it's not fun anymore. Constantly having to look over our shoulders is'nt a life I want to live. I mean c'mon man, YOU ALMOST DIED out there man! In front of millions!" Slash fussed as he wiped his poofy curls out of his face. Maria agreed. "I can't let you hurt yourself again Michael. Please. Let's go home." She said. Tatiana stood up and walked towards Michael's bedside. She kind of pushed Maria and Hanan out of her way and rolled her eyes at them. "Look, Michael is a grown man. He should be the one to say if he wants to tour or not. Right?" She shot Maria an evil smirk and turned to Michael. Maria looked at Hanan and Chinna with a look of anger on her face. Hanan looked shocked and took Maria outside the door. 

"What the hell was that all about?!" Hanan whisper yelled to Maria. Maria cracked her knuckles. "I don't even know why she pushed us and rolled her eyes at me! But, she better calm that shit down! It's not like I like her anyway! Stupid tramp!" She fussed. "Look Ria, just stay calm. She'll wish that she never messed with us one of theses days... Michael has enough goin' on right now and so do you. Leave her to me." Hanan said as she walked back into the room. When they walked in, Michael was sitting on the edge of the bed like nothing was wrong with him! "MIchael, what are you doin' up?" Maria fussed. "Girl,  You know I hate laying down too long. Plus, I feel FINE!!" he laughed. The doctor came in. "Mr. Jackson? Hi I'm doctor Burns. We monitored you all last night and this morning. We ran a CAT scan and X-rays to make sure you didn't break or fracture anything. It appears that you just knocked yourself out from saving yourself basically. Thank God!" She said with excitement while removing his IV needle and heart rate monitor pads. "...And you can go home whenever you sign the release forms at the front desk." She smiled and walked out of the room. Slash clapped. "Let's get out of this place...it creeps me out." He said as he scrunched up his shoulders. Michael giggled. "Yeah, me too Slash." He got up and walked down the hall arm and arm with Maria to the front desk. Tatiana was furious, but she kept to herself.

This Maria bitch...She has got to fucking go! As well as Hanan!  They've been all over my man! I mean, no. we don't date but still, HE'S MINE! I hope they got the message that I sent to them in the room. Michael is MINE! I don't care what her or Hanan has to say about it! Yeah, Hanan and Michael are close because they used to date back in the day yeah, yeah, yeah hollywood knows the whole damn story and so does the world. But, I don't care! That was then, this is now! Hanan and Maria are just gonna have to learn not to fuck with anything that's mine..ESPECIALLY not Michael Joseph Jackson!

Thank GOD i'm okay and that Chinna came to see me!!! I just really can't believe that Lamar went THIS far. He is really testin' me man! Why won't he just leave me the hell alone?! I know he hates me and all, but he's taking this shit to the extreme! Pssst, I just can't man..I'm not sure if I want to continue this tour or not. Wait... No....No, I am gonna continue this tour! If I chicken out and cancel my shows, he's gonna get what he wants. Me to give up and let him win! I won't give him that satisfaction, and I damn sure won't leave my Moonwalkers hanging like that!... One thing that's bugging me, is the way Tatiana treated Maria and my exgirlfriend Hanan in the room....no one thinks that I noticed, but I see and hear ALL. That wasn't cool AT ALL. Tatiana,Maria and Hanan better get things straight or I'm sending someone back to California. FAST.
