August 10, 1980:
Today is the day. Today is the day I turn 21! But besides that, today is the day I'm going to see the Jackson's live! Isn't that great? I've always had a crush on Michael. Just saying his name makes me feel all tingly inside. The truth is I've never felt this way before. Well, I've never really had a boyfriend either to feel that way about. I know what you're thinking, 'how can you be 21 and never have had a boyfriend?' Simple, I've never been interested. Most people (especially guys) find me weird because I'm in love with Michael Jackson. They're always like 'You don't even know him. How can you be in love with him?' I think that's all a bunch of baloney. You can be in love with someone even if you don't know them. I just think it's the silliest thing when… oh. I haven't fully introduced myself, have I? No? I didn't think so. My name is Hayley Jones. Before you ask, no I am not related to music producer, Quincy Jones. I still live with my parents. Sad, isn't it? I have 1 sibling an older brother named Jeremiah. He's such a pain in the a… ahem, sorry a pain in the butt. Luckily, he's already moved out with his wife, Jenna.
Mom: Hayley, honey, Jenna's here.
Me: Mom! Stop with the name I'm 21 now!
Mom: Technically not for another 7 hours and 39 minutes, honey.
Why does she have to be so technical about things? I gotta love her though. Like I was saying, Jenna is Jeremy's wife. We're like best friends. Pretty much like sisters. She's also a Jackson's fan. We're going to the concert together, and she can't wait to see Marlon. I think she was dropped on her head as a baby. If not, then she has some serious issues.
I walk downstairs to see Jenna wearing the same J5 shirt as me.
Me: Nice shirt. *laughs*
Jenna: You too. Great minds think alike I see. *laughs* I am so excited! I can't wait to see Marlon shakin' his thang up there.
Me: Wow.
Jenna: Don't 'wow' me. You know you're thinking the same thing about Michael.
Me: Yeah. *goes into fantasy world*
Jenna: Hayley? Hayley? Girl, snap out of la la land!
Me: Huh? Oh sorry. *embarrassed*
Mom: *comes out of kitchen* What are you two still doing here? You're going to be late.
Me & Jenna: We're going. *laughs*
We leave and get into the car. It takes only about a half hour to get there. The line to get in is really long. Luckily, it only takes about 15 minutes and the show starts 15 minutes later. Their first son is Can You Feel It and their last song is Never Can Say Goodbye. That was the best concert I've ever been too ever!
Jenna: That was such a cool concert!
Me: I know! Did you see Michael? He looked so good up there.
Jenna: Marlon looked better.
Me: No he didn't! Mic…
Someone runs into me knocking me down.
?: I am so sorry. *runs off*
Me: Don't…he's gone.
Jenna: That was weird. Hey what's that? *points to the ground*
Me: What's what? *looks to where she's pointing* It looks like a cell phone. *picks it up*
Jenna: It's not yours right?
Me: No. It was probably the person who bumped into me.
Jenna: Oh. What are you going to do with it?
Me: Keep it for now, maybe I can find out who it belongs to later.
We get back into my car and drive home. But what I didn't realize was what I was in for when I got back home.
