I'm So Blue

Chapter 8:Make it Big

Michael's POV
We arrived to the hotel I looked up in my room outside the window the posters for my bad tour was every where and for a second I felt the perfectionist in me take over my mind
I want bad to be bigger then Thriller was I wanna go higher. It was to surpass by prince he's the only one I can say I have competition I have

"Did he release it?"

"No but he is on the other line right now for you Mr.Jackson"

I picked up the phone quickly

"Hey James do you think we can hold on releasing those tracks I made"

"No can do Michael I'm sorry but I already got it published and the cover for it is out , go ahead the preview of it should be coming on the radio later"

Well I did say I wanted it bigger ... didn't I. I shook my head then chuckled

"Well is there anyway we can hold off on it"

"Are you worried, I think it's a hit Michael. Trust me"

"I do James but-"

"Don't tell me it's Diana"

"James the media will harass her she's the only friend I have that's gotten married she's the only one I've said I've publicly loved. It'll be a field day"

"I don't know what to tell you Michael it comes out at noon so I guess all I can tell you is call Ms.Ross and double her security"

"The other track went out too right?"

"Which one?"

"Price of Fame"

"Oh yea that one is out on the same one as the other song there gonna be bonus's from your bad album"

"Okay well at least Bad will get more exposure. But James guess what sucks"

"What's that?"

"The time is different over here so while that's playing over there it'll take forever to play over here. See if you can get the song to play earlier in Japan"

"Alright I'll get my boys on it now"

"Okay great"

I hung up the phone in panic I dropped the phone from my ear running to the tv looking at the time then back at the screen

"I'm waiting for it damn it"

I slammed my hand hard up against the desk throwing everything off of it but my pen and paper writing

Dear Di,

"No that doesn't sound good"

I crumbled the paper into my hand throwing it into the trash can I lifted my hands up to my head as the phone... there's only one person that could be ... I picked up the phone slowly hesitating to even answer

"Hello"

"Michael?"

"Yes? Who's this"

"It's Di"

"Oh hi did you get home alright"

"Yes I did"

"That's good"

"I see you have some new music being released"

"Yea it's just a few bonus tracks"

"I can't wait to hear it"

I laughed nervously at her response

"I can't wait for you to hear it too , it'll be one for the books I'll tell you that much.But umm I gotta go di we can catch up later"

It was eleven fifty in California it was just 10 mins away everyone would hear my pain

"Hey Bill"

"Yes Michael"

"I'm going to need some soda and glass of wine"

"I'll tell the staff now Michael"

"Thank you"

Diana's POV
As the clocked turned twelve my anticipation grew to hear Michael's new song.Then there it was that sad melody began to play slowly my eyes opened up more wider

"Oh my god..."

Michael's POV
I was dying to know what she thought .. or if it bothered her I stared at the phone waiting for it to ring then my wish became a reality the phone was ringing off the hook I slowly picked it up nervously smiling

"Hey Di"

"Mm why didn't you tell me"

"Tell you what?"

"That song... Michael ... it was about me and Arne"

"Yes.. and because I was hurt Diana. How was I supposed to tell you"

"Called me"

"I had to get it out"

"It's a beautiful song it really is I'm sure your fans will adore the melody"

"Did you like it?"

"I liked it but I was also sad because I knew it was about you and me as soon as the words came out of your mouth
There we are as cold as Ice asking me to love you then often be your friend. There you were I walk alone telling me to love you and often be your friend

I heard the song playing on the radio in the background of the phone

"Well there was only one way I felt when you left me and that was blue...so I went to James house and let it out that same night"

"I understand"

"Thank you for understanding"

"No problem"

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way though I wanted to tell you"

"I'll be seeing you soon we'll talk about it then"
