Hey all! Sorry it's took so long to update...too much exams/coursework! :( But I've been given this idea by my friend Kristee, thanks girl! :) Sorry it took so long :D
Michael 32. Janet 24
The Next Day
Janet woke in an up-right position on her bed. She looked over to see Michael sleeping with his arms around her; the pair must have stayed up chatting so late that they fell asleep.
She smiled at her sleeping brother and gently removed his protective arms around her; he had managed to comfort her so well after her nightmare. He mumbled cutely, making her giggle.
She made her way downstairs and absent-mindingly appeared at the Disney calendar hung on the wall (forever a child at heart.) She stopped and looked at it closely when she saw the rough scribble on today's date:
'St Catherine Hospital'.
"Janet, what's up?" a half awake Michael asked, trudging in dressed in his favourite red robe.
"Mike, do you need to go to the hospital? What's wrong?" Janet asked, looking worried.
Michael, looking confused, walked over and peered at the calendar.
"Ha-ha, no way! Nothings up Mrs Worry-guts" Michael teased. Janet shot him a look.
"Ooooh, sorry! No sense of humour eh?" Michael said, putting his arm around her.
"I'm sorry Mike...the nightmare, it's playing on my mind" Janet groaned. Michael stroked her head comfortingly.
"Hey no worries, it was just a dream. It won't come true"
Janet smiled and hugged her brother. "So what is happening today?"
"A few kids from the hospital are coming over to enjoy the ranch. I can't wait to see them; I love making them happy so much" Michael smiled. Janet smiled with him.
"You are too good to people Mike" Janet said, admiring him.
"I guess I just have a lot of love to give. It's all for love. L.O.V.E, remember?"
"Ok, I'll remember" Janet laughed.
"You going to be here today?" Michael asked her. Janet sighed.
"I wish I could. I'm so sorry Mike, but I have to get the recording done! I promised I wouldn't let my producers down!" she moaned, stamping her foot just like a little kid. Michael laughed at her tantrum.
"Are you sure you should be working? You look a little pale, and you didn't have the best of nights last night" Michael said, holding her shoulders to look at her properly.
"I'm fine Mike. I really wish I could stay, but it's going to be a long one" Janet moaned again.
"Okay, if you insist. But try and hurry back, the kids love you!"
"I know, I'll try and be quick so I can finish up early today" said Janet, and she started for the stairs to go and get dressed.
A few hours later Janet had left and the kids had arrived at Neverland. Arriving with them was some of Michael's brothers and Elizabeth Taylor, helping Michael out with the day.
They were all so cute, but it was sad for Michael to see them suffering. He wanted to make this day special for them all.
When the kids had arrived he let them have endless goes on the rides in his back garden. His brothers and Elizabeth sat with them on the rides and made sure everyone was happy. Michael laughed at Elizabeth's shocked expressions as she rode some of the scarier rides.
Amongst all the children laughing and playing Michael noticed one boy sat on his own. He seemed to be looking sad, and didn't seem to want to join in. Michael decided to leave the group and join him.
He sat next to the boy, who didn't look up to see him; however he knew he was there.
"Are you alright?" he asked the boy. The boy turned up to face him.
"No, but I'm fine just sat here thank you" he said politely. Looking at this boy's face Michael now remembered him; his name was Lewis and he was about fourteen years old. He had met Lewis before, and had learned that he had Leukaemia. Not only was he suffering from that, he also had a form of dyslexia where he didn't like being in large groups.
"I remember you now...Lewis, right?" Michael said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm glad you remember" Lewis said, slightly smiling.
"Do you not want to join in with us? Everyone is very friendly" Michael asked encouragingly.
"You know I don't. But thanks for your offer anyway" he said, once again politely. Michael sat for a minute; he didn't want this boy to go unhappy at all.
"I know! do you want to spend some time with just me? I won't pressure you into being with everyone else" Michael offered. Lewis thought for a minute.
"Do you have any good video games?" he asked, after long silence.
"Yes, plenty" Michael smiled.
"Then yes please!" Lewis beamed. Michael took his hand and led him inside to his games room. When they entered the room Lewis beamed in delight at the many games consoles, and thousands of games, that Michael owned.
"Wow! This is amazing!" Lewis screamed in delight, as he was playing on a racing game.
"I knew you'd like it. Hey, do you want to play two player?" Michael asked.
So for the rest of the day Michael spent time with Lewis, pleasing him with all the games he could ever imagine. Michael was glad that he had made Lewis happy and was now fully aware of his situation. Michael checked his watch; the time was four o' clock.
"Blimey, look at the time Lewis! Your dad is going to be here for you soon" Michael said, pausing the 50th game of the day; Lewis seemed to be into none-stop video gaming.
"Oh, ok" he sighed, looking so glum the whole room could have turned grey.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked.
"I don't wanna leave; I wanna stay here with you! It's boring being at home. All mum does is fuss over me, and all dad does is yell at me for being so boring and not wanting to join any clubs or anything. Then they both argue with each other, and the shouting is just awful! Why can't I just be a normal kid?" Lewis cried. Michael now saw fresh tears forming on his face.
"Oh Lewis, its okay! You can visit me anytime! And it's completely normal for your mum to be worried, but you can't help being yourself" Michael reassured him.
"So even if dad yells, I should remind him that?"
"Maybe, yes. It's all your choices Lewis. And if you ever want to come over for some more competitive gaming, just call me, ok?" Michael said, scribbling down the ranch number on some loose paper.
"Ok, I will. Thanks Mike, you're a great mate" Lewis smiled, as fresh tears began to fall. Michael wiped them away and gave him a hug. Lewis hugged back and smiled. Just then the pair heard a door open fiercely.
A large, broad looking man stepped in and glared at Lewis and Michael. He saw them hugging and his eyes turned evil. Lewis looked at him at once and drew away from Michael.
"Dad?!" Lewis said, shocked.
He pointed his finger at Michael. "You, get away from him!" he bellowed.
Lewis now realised what his dad was getting at. "No Dad, please it's not like that! I was upset and he was comforting me. Look, you can see my tears!" Lewis shouted.
His dad gave him a shove. "Get in the car now, your mother is waiting!" he growled. Lewis cried, grabbed his jacket and ran out.
"Please sir, understand. He was just a little upset about his condition, I was only comforting him" Michael said, gently.
"You stay away from him. You'll never see my son again, I don't care how bloody helpful you think you are. Just stay away from him! I'll have the police on you!" he bellowed, right in Michael's face, before leaving the room.
Moments later, Jermaine walked in with sadness in his eyes.
"The kids have left Mike. But what happened with Lewis?" Jermaine asked.
"His dad came in when I was giving him a hug. He took it the wrong way and...Well, now he thinks that I and Lewis were up to something dodgy. It's completely untrue! I swear it!" Michael whined.
"Don't worry; the police aren't going to believe that. It'll all be fine" Jermaine promised, although he too didn't look too sure.
A few days later.
"I can't believe his dad would make such an accusation!" Janet yelled furiously, after gulping down a huge amount of coffee. Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Marlon, Tito and Randy were all gathered in Michael's lounge watching TV; it was a rainy Sunday afternoon and the siblings were just chilling, seen as all their important work was done.
"Whoa, easy on the coffee Dunk! It's giving you more volume in the vocal department!" Jermaine joked. Janet shot him and evil look, but giggled after when he ruffled her hair.
"C'mon guys, it won't be serious. His dad will have probably forgotten all about it by now" Marlon reassured. The rest of the siblings seemed to buy that; Marlon was always good at making things more peaceful.
Michael still wasn't satisfied.
"I'd never do something like that. I wouldn't. I couldn't! You have to believe me!" Michael almost sounded deluded. This accusation was really getting him down.
"Mike, we DO believe you! And so will the rest of the world. Calm down little brother!" Tito smiled, munching on a biscuit.
Michael smiled slightly and tried to relax.
"And now for the midday news bulletin, with some breaking news!" the TV spoke.
"Ooh, wonder what's happened?" Janet said, sitting more upright from her slouched position.
"Michael Jackson, the beloved King of Pop, has been accused of child molestation by the father of fourteen year old Lewis Stevens, who visited his Neverland home last week as part of St Catherine's Hospital in LA. He says that he walked in on Michael touching his son inappropriately, whilst laughing in the process."
The siblings stared shocked at the screen. Tears fell from Michael's eyes.
"I didn't! That's a lie! I was comforting him!" Michael shouted. Janet winced at his angry behaviour.
"You'd never do that" she spoke softly.
The TV then showed footage of an interview with Mr Stevens and Lewis.
"It was awful what I saw. Michael was being out of order and my son agrees. Isn't that right, Lewis?"
Lewis looked painfully sad. It was almost as if his dad was making him agree, and maybe he was.
Michael left the room. He went to his bedroom and kicked and knocked over everything, throwing his things around in anger.
"Michael? Is everything okay?" Janet's voice spoke. She walked in and found Michael. Michael accidentally through one of his smaller models in her direction, hitting her. She stumbled back in shock.
"Oh god, Janet, I'm sorry!" he panicked, running over to her side. Janet rubbed her arm where it hit.
"I'm fine, it was an accident. Sit down Mike" She spoke softly. Michael sat down next to her on the bed as she put her arms around him. He began to cry.
"You know it's not true. I know it, and so will everyone else. We'll get through this Mike...you'll see" She whispered, comfortingly.
It was now Janet's time to comfort Michael.
Thanks for reading guys! Just a quick note, before you flame this chapter, I don't know anything about the first accusation. I don't know the boys name, or what happened, or is his dad found them, or what he was accused of. I made it up. See I try not to memorize the bad things that happened in Michael's life; him being accused like that was very wrong. This is purely fanfiction :)
Thanks again for reading and I'm sorry for the wait.
Reviews are much appreciated :D
