"Why are you talking to me?" Michael was confused, one of the most popular and gorgeous girls talking to him? The Quiet Boy?
"Because, you're interesting...I wanna get to know you." Jayden explains
"Jayden if this is a prank-" she cuts him off with...
My eyes were covered with a blindfold, my heart was racing. I knew I was safe but Jayden had something going on, I don't know what but I'm scared, "Butterfly, w-what are we doing?" I giggled
"I'm taking you to your surprise, love, just shoosh and walk through the door." She grins, her smaller hands were on my back as she guided me
I'm surprised she could see being that she's like 5'2 and I'm 5'9 probably 5'10, "Butterfly can't I have a hint? You're creeping me out." I complain, "You'll catch a booty pinch if you don't shush and walk through this door." We walk through another door and she squeals softly
"Alright, you ready to take the blindfold off?" She asked, "I've been ready." I sas her, which earned me a booty pinch, "Ow, crap! Butterfly." I complain, "Ugh, take the blindfold off, love." She giggles
I did as told and gasped at the sight, we were in the recording studio, "Butterfly." I mumble softly, "You told me you wanted to start singing again, I found your book full of beautiful songs so I decided why not." She explains with a smile
I couldn't help but to pull her into my arms and hug her, I felt like I was home, "I can leave whenever I want right?" I asked but then clean cursed in my head
"O-Of course, why wouldn't you be able to?" Jayden pulls away to look at me, I look away as I debate if I should open up, she turns me to look at her, "Talk to me, I don't force you but bottling up is not good, please talk to me." She rubs my face softly
"You won't judge?" I ask, she shakes her head no, "I can never judge, I will never judge. Only God can, right?" She smiles softly before telling me to sit
"Talk whenever you want, let everything out. If you wanna yell- do it, scream- do it, cry- do it. I'm here for you, Buggs." She cups my hand softly
I took a deep breath and nodded, "Since I was little, I was in the spotlight. I didn't have a normal childhood like normal children, thats why I asked if you've seen my childhood. It was horrible, but wasn't the worst compared to others stories. My father- Joe, he'd beat me and my mother sometimes when he was angry or when he'd be drunk. If I didn't get my steps right he'd be so upset. The abuse wasn't just physically, it was verbally and emotionally. You know, I loved to perform because when I did I felt like I was finally free. I'd cry a lot once I was off that stage because my freedom was gone, you know?" She nods her head, taking in every single word that came out
"It was just...no child should go through what I went through, the fame was fun- yes but it wasn't everything I'll put it like that. I could only do certain things, I was limited. Tutoring for 3 hours, then it would either be recording time, photoshoot time or interview time. Then once we're done I'd have to go to sleep and do it all over again, I wanted to play outside with all the other children. I didn't have friends growing up, I didn't have sleepovers and fun nights with friends- I had my brothers as friends. It wasnt a fun childhood." I finish off
"Oh Michael, I'm so sorry you went through all that, honestly." She blinks away some tears, "I feel better letting that go, I do. C-Can we talk about you and your childhood?" Thats when she started fiddle with her fingers, did I press a nerve?
"We don't have to, it took me a while to open up to you so I won't pressure you." I assured, I was very curious, "N-No it's just, I went through a lot of trauma growing up and I get super emotional when I speak on it. I was raised by my grandma basically because I ran away at the age of 14, reasons I just don't wanna talk about at the moment. Its just, like you said a child should never go through- no one should ever. My parents were around until 14." She pauses to collect herself and tried to stop her tears, I placed my hand onto of hers
"C-Can we move on? I brought you here so you could have fun and stuff and now we're sad." We both share a laugh as I nod, she wipes some tears from her eyes before clapping, "Lets get to it, but let me ask you this. Are you going back into the public eye?"
I miss having fans and the excitement, I think I may go back to the public eye. "Lets do it- I want you by my side though, you down?" I ask her, "I got your back, Buggs."
After we settle on some beats and a producer I've known for a while comes in, we started recording songs. I was singing my ass of, just loving the moment and I didn't even notice Jt recording.
