[MJ Fanfiction] What Happened That Day

Part 18: Please don't go

Five days later

Well, it been five days now that I am in Neverland, and everthing is perfect. Michael is the nicest guy I ever met. We are very close now, and it feels like I've always know him. It's kind of a weird feeling, actually. Anyways. 

I woke up next to Michael this morning, nothing weird here. Apparently, I fell asleep while wachting "Psycho" by Alfred Hitchcock. I didn't freak out, because I know nothing weir happened between us. We're friends, just as Michael likes to remind me. It's getting harder everyday for me to keep my feelings for Michael locked deep inside of me. How is it even possible not to feel something for him ? I think it's impossible. He has every quality a woman could ask for. I don't even know if I should tell him how I feel about him... I'm so scared of what he'd think...

"Hey girl", Michael said, turning around so I can see his sleepy angel face. "What are you scared of?"

Wait... Did I say that out loud ? What an idiot... 

"Um, nothing, nothing. I'm just... You know, thinking." I said, confused. 

"It's ok, June. I told you you can talk to me. Please" he pleaded. 

I sighed, "I-I-m sorry Michael, but... I-I can't tell you yet. It's not against you, it's just that I have to be ready to talk to you about that..."

He seemed disappointed and hurt. It broke my heart to see him like this. I took his hand, ready to open my mouth and tell him everything. Suddenly, my phone rang on the nightstand. Great..

"Hello?" I sternly said. 

I could hear sniffling. 

"Hello?" I repeated, starting to worry. 

"June, it's mom", she began, crying. "Your dad is at the h-hospital, it's bad. Y-You have to c-come home" she said between two sobs. 

I thought my heart stopped at the particular moment. I could not feel my legs anymore, and tears began to fall from my eyes. 

"I'm on my way" is all I managed to say. 

She hung up. 

"What's going on, June? What happened?" Asked Michael, taking my hands in his, looking me with a concerned look in his eyes. 

I look up to look at him, and stood up from the bed, letting go of his warm hands. 

"June, what's going on? You're scarying me!"

"M-My dad is at the hospital. It's...It's b-bad." I stuttered, crying even more as I walked out of the bedroom. 

Michael's eyes widened, and then followed me out of his bedroom. 

"Lemme come with you, you'll need me there."

"No Michael, please, stay here. You don't have to come."

Michael took my arm as I was walking very fast through my bedroom, which made me stop. I look up at him, my eyes filled with tears. Michael's eyes was wattery too. As I faced him, he pulled me into a tight hug, and I hugged him back. I began to cry on his chest, causing him to caress my hair. 

"Sshhh. June, breathe, please. Breathe. Calm down." he said, his voice cracking. 

"I can't calm down, he's my dad. He is my everything. I can't lose him too. Losing Julian was hard enough, I can't-..." I stopped as I began hyperventilating.

Michael put his hands on the sides of my face to make me look at him. He looked me deep in the eyes, resting his forehead on mine. 

"I'll come with you, whether you want it or not. You need support, and I can give you some, June."
