Smile
Chapter 2: Broken
1993
A red SUV pulled into the gates of Neverland and Sophie looked over at her step mom.
"I'll be right back," Sophie said starting to open the door.
"We cant stay for long, Sophie," her step mom said.
Sophie hopped out of the car and ran up to the doors of the huge house.
Once inside 12-year old Sophie climbed the stairs and entered the dark master bedroom.
He was sitting by the window that over looked the African animals, a tiny light shone through on him.
Sophie heard sniffling as she approached him.
She softly put her hand on his shoulder, he flinched but did not turn around.
"Michael, are you okay," she said concerned for her friend.
He did not answer, he just kept sniffling and wiping his eyes.
"Why are you crying?" Sophie tapped on his shoulder.
He turned around to face her, the light shone off his tear stained cheeks.
"You wouldn't understand, your too young," he whispered turning back around.
"You can tell me, even if I don't understand," she said moving in front of him.
He put his hands on Sophie's shoulders, "People are accusing me of something I would never do, their telling lies about me."
His voice breaking along with his heart as he prepared to tell his friend the worst of the news.
He took a deep, ragged breath, "I wont be able to see you for a while, Soph."
Tears streamed down his face once more.
"I understand, its okay," she hugged him, "I colored you a picture."
She handed Michael the picture and heard a car horn from outside.
"I have to go, Jennifer is waiting for me," She said stepping away.
"Goodbye, Sophie," Michael said.
"Its not bye forever," Sophie said as she left the room.
Michael looked down at the picture in his hands, it said,"Michael + Sophie forever. Best Friends," at the top.
He was in his red button up shirt, black pants, and a black fedora throwing a water balloon at Sophie, who had her stuffed giraffe in her hand.
He smiled as he looked over the picture, then he turned it over and cried looking through the fogged glass at the giraffes below.
1995
"One more time, from the beginning," he said as the beginning of Smile started playing again.
He drove home quietly after recording his latest album, he pulled in the gates of Neverland and saw cars parked in the drive.
He walked in the dark house and flipped the switch on, out of nowhere a teenage girl raced up and hugged him.
"Michael! I've missed you so much," the girl said clinging to him.
He pulled her away keeping his hands on her shoulders, his eyes widened, "Sophie."
His voice was astonished at the teenager standing in front of him, "You look so grow up, how old are you?"
"Fourteen," she said smiling.
"Sophie!" He yelled and hugged her picking her up and swinging her in a complete circle.
She landed on the ground laughing.
Macaulay emerged from the dark kitchen with his hand behind his back.
"Mac!" Michael yelled and went to hug the 15 year old.
Mac put his other hand out, "No hugs."
Michael put his arms down, disappointed.
"War!" Mac yelled as he pulled a Super Soaker from behind his back.
"No!" Michael yelled and ran outside to get his Super Soaker.
The trio was back together and nothing was going to tear them apart.
