Happily Ever After (Michael Jackson)
Callie Mae Jefferson; born and raised in Kokomo, Indiana. Until one day her family locks up and moves up to Gary. She ends up becoming the one and only childhood best friend of the one and only Michael Jackson.
To the world, he was the King of Pop. He was the most famous man in the world.
But to Callie, he was just Michael. He was the boy she grew up down the street from. The only girl whose family was allowed over for dinner, the only girl who captured his heart as they grew up.
To Michael, she was the light in his life that motivated him to keep doing one thing. Live.
As they grow up, the Jackson family moves to LA to work with Motown, but Michael and Callie always kept in touch. Until one day, she moved to California to see what the world had to offer.
Will she be able to compete with the fame that follows Michael wherever he goes? Will she be able to fit right in? Or will it come crashing down on them both, and rip them apart forever, ripping them away from a most special and almost spiritual bond?
In an alternate universe where the King of Pop had a long time love. A love he needed. A love he deserved. In this world, she is the muse of some of his most iconic songs, but also she is the one who keeps him grounded. Keeps him happy. Keeps him alive. In this world, no one would ever know what it's like to not have Michael Jackson living in it.
