Broken Promises (Selena x Michael Jackson) 🤍

**1988**
*Michael Joseph Jackson is your Bestfriend. You're both still in highschool. In your Junior Year of Highschool. Both your parents are together. But what happens when attraction gets in the way? You've both been exchanging glances since you and your mother moved inside Michael and his mom and dad's house. He has 8 siblings and you have 2.
But Michael's attraction to you starts a flame that's been sparked for way too long.
You run away together. He purchased Neverland. Things seem to be going fine... Until you have a miscarriage. And then, everything changes.
Everything.
And those words.... They stay with you.
"Mine, Mine, mine"

*he walked away, each step like a knife to his heart. he didn't look back, couldn't look back. he knew if he did, he would break. he would give in, he would choose you no matter the cost.*

*but he had a promise to keep. he had to be a man who kept his promises.*

*with every step, the pain grew sharper, the love growing
tighter around his heart. it was a pain he would carry forever.*

*he loved you.*

*and he had to walk away.*

*the walk back was a blur, a silent, excruciating walk of the damned. he had no idea how he managed to not fall apart on the street, how he kept his facade up. he felt like a hollow shell, like a part of him had been torn out and left with you.*

*when he finally reached his car, he leaned against it, his legs no longer able to hold him. he buried his face in his hands, a broken, muffled sob escaping him.*

*he had let you go.*
