Annie's POV
I touched my lips, which had a streak of dry blood on them. Andre had came home last night and struck me for no reason. I was grateful Janiya was asleep and she didn't witness the abuse and rape...
I felt a tear slide down my cheek. I really hated Andre. He hurt me and I felt that soon, he was going to hurt Janiya. I cried more. I heard the T.V. on and I knew Janiya was looking through her cartoons. She could only ever watch T.V. when Andre was gone and luckily he was for the day.
I walked out of the bathroom to make some breakfast for us when I heard her squealing for joy.
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy's on T.V.!" Janiya squealed. I though that Andre had finally got himself in trouble to be on the news, but Janiya only called one person 'Daddy' though I tell her not to.
I peered around the corner to see Janiya sitting directly in front of the T.V. watching... Michael performing in his concert. All the times he had appeared on the news, I never looked at him, but the look on his face now made me watch.
He looked tired and hurt and he tried to hide it with a smile.
"I wrote this song for someone special in my life." He said. Music started and a song I've never heard before started.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone...
I felt my eyes get clouded with tears and i realized that I was already crying. He missed me. If only he knew how much I ached for him. I ran to my room and curled up on the bed, letting out small whimpers of, 'Michael's.
