Man of My Life

The Ghost with the God

i was such in a happy mood. i had a lot of things planned. first, go to walmart and buy my babies flowers. my babies are my patients at the children's hospital. even if it's my day off i still like to visit and give them treats. the kids love to see me dress like a regular human being with my hair down and makeup rather than scrubs.
as i was done trying to control my crazy light brown curly and so hair i did my makeup. i put on blush and tiny bit of mascara on my long eyelashes since i already have huge eyes i don't want them any bigger. lastly i put dark red lipstick.
i put on a white tank top and a silky rose gold adidas tracksuit with white adidas. i didn't want to dress up all girly today but i did want to look presentable. i put on a small gold rose necklace and headed out the door.

i bought real flowers and fake ones for some children that can't have real flowers. i go inside and it's crazier than ever. i look around. everyone is jumping, running, and screaming. my nurse friend Callie pulled me aside and screamed in my ear "MICHAEL JACKSON IS HERE! HIS SEXY ASS IS HERE! IN THIS EXACT LOCATION! HE'S HERE TO VISIT SICK KIDS! OH BABY IMMA HAVE TO ACT PROFESSIONAL BUT I'LL HAVE MY NAUGHTY LOOK! IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN"
i laughed. wow, the great michael jackson is here. i was happy for the kids, but why are people acting all crazy? he's not a god, he's human like the rest of us. he may be the greatest artist but i feel like everyone should be treated equally.
"where is he?" i finally asked.
"GIRL I DUNNO HE'S IN THE BUILDING BUT HIS FRIEND SAID HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF IF WE CALM DOWN BUT AHHH OH MY GOD I CAN'T!" she was jumping up and down and her afro was doing the same thing.
i love Callie, she's so funny.
"well calm yourself down or else your love of your life won't reveal himself" i said jokingly.
she screamed and did jazz hands.
i smiled waving goodbye and walked towards one of my patients' room.
"hello Marcel, i bought you a blue flower since i know blue is your favorite"
he completely ignored me and his family did too. it was like if i were a ghost. Marcel was too happy that michael is visiting that he couldn't acknowledge me. i left a bit sad but i understand, the great michael jackson is coming. i continued giving my other babies flowers.

i finished and all of them ignored me. that never happened. i have a great relationship with all of them. Doctors say i shouldn't get attached to the kids because some don't make it and leave this world too soon. when they do pass away, i don't get sad. i look at the bright side, no more suffering in this cruel world and i know their spirits are with me. But them ignoring me hurt me so much. As i was walking in the hallway with my head down i bumped into a man. he grabbed my arms. he had a mustache and weird teeth. he was wearing a long trench coat and a fedora. i looked at his eyes and paused. i saw the eyes of an innocent caring loving person, just like i see from my babies. i was shocked i never saw those eyes on an adult before. i whispered "sorry".
he let go. he put his hands together like if he was about to pray.
"please i'll give you an autograph i'll take a picture, anything just please don't scream" he said with a soft familiar voice.
"uhh why would i scream or asked for that?" i asked confused.
"you don't know who i am?" he giggled.
"to be honest no, sorry"
i was about to walk away until the man softly grabbed my arm. he looked down and took off his fake mustache and weird teeth.
"I'm michael. michael jackson" he said with a smile.
my eyes widened.
