[Warning: Part of this chapter will wind up scaring you.]
The 다음 Day
Michael woke up and saw me gathering my clothes. He smiled a little and sat up in the bed. I looked over at him after I got my undergarments on and smiled. He got out of the 침대 and gathered his clothes and put them on. Once we were fully dressed, Michael came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I giggled and leaned back a bit.
"I can't believe we made 사랑 last night. We've only been going out for what, a few days 또는 maybe even a little over a week?" I said.
He smiled and kissed my cheek. "I can't believe it, either. It seemed a little soon, but we had to, right?" He asked.
"Yeah. To get it out of our systems, I guess." I giggled.
"Did 당신 like it, though?"
I turned my head to him and nodded. "Yeah, I did. I'm glad to be free of that spell. It always bugged me."
He kissed the back of my neck softly. "Good. I did, too."
I giggled. "Shouldn't we go to rehearsals?"
"Oh yeah. We should before Frank gets on our cases for being late." He giggled.
We got what we needed and headed on out to the studio to do our rehearsals.
At The Studio
We went through the entire short film 상단, 맨 위로 to bottom about 5 times, each time perfecting it in all ways possible. Soon, we went to break after the 5th time. During the break, Michael and I stuck 의해 each other’s sides like glue. Frank, Sean, Brandon and Kelly thought it was funny and cute. We did wind up telling them that we were a couple and Kelly definitely found that the most adorable thing ever. It was like she had known we liked each other and expected us to be a couple. Frank had told Michael before to not go too fast in a relationship, especially with a girl he just met. I understood that they always argued about something like that. My parents did that to me, too. Only, I've never been in a serious relationship before, so this was all new to me. After a while, we went back into rehearsing.
After Rehearsals
Michael and I went back to Neverland and got our things together. This week, he'll be staying at my house. He did tell me that he'd protect me anyway. I guess he's like my own personal bodyguard. Then again, he's my boyfriend and knowing how boyfriends act, they always protect their girlfriends from any danger. Michael soon came into the room, with his things and sat 다음 to me on the bed.
"Something the matter, Rebecca? You've been in deep thought since rehearsals earlier." He said.
I shook my head. "Nothing's wrong. Don't worry about it, Michael." I told him.
He knew there was something up with me, but he didn't want to bug me any further. "Well, let's head on over to your house then."
I nodded and we got into the car and headed to my house. Michael looked at me, a bit worried. I was quiet as can be. I had no clue what was up with me...let alone what was wrong with me.
Arriving At My House
Bill stopped the car and we got out. "See 당신 later this week." He said.
Michael turned to Bill and nodded. "Alright. Thanks, Bill." He told Bill.
Bill then drove off. Michael and I headed inside after I unlocked the door. We went up the stairs and got into my room. I put my stuff 의해 my dresser and Michael put his stuff 의해 the bed. He sat down on the 침대 and I came over and sat 다음 to him. He put his arm around me and I put my head on his shoulder. He kissed my head and put his head on mine.
"Are 당신 sure nothing's wrong?" He asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure, Michael." I said.
"Alright. Well, what do 당신 wanna do since we have some privacy?"
"I don't know. What do 당신 wanna do?"
Michael thought about it. "How about we watch a movie?"
I smiled a little. "Okay. What movie should we watch?"
"Hm...how about Snow White?"
"Alright." I got up and went over to the 영화 I had in my room and picked out Snow White.
I took it out of the case and put it in the VCR and it started playing. I went over to the 침대 and laid back against the head board, Michael putting his arm around me, pulling me closer to him. I put my head on his shoulder and placed my arm over his stomach. He kissed my head and we started watching the movie, falling asleep in the middle of it.
Later That Week
Michael had just left to head back to Neverland after dropping me off. He was nice enough to pick me up from work and drop me off at home. He had suggested he'd stay until my family got home, but I told him that I'd be fine. I cleaned up the house a bit before my family came home. Soon, I heard my phone ringing. I picked up my phone and saw that it was my mom calling.
"Hey mom." I answered.
"Hey Rebecca. We'll be 집 soon. How were the perfection rehearsals for Smooth Criminal yesterday?" She asked.
"They were fine. I had just gotten 집 from work an 시간 ago."
"Oh? How much money in tips did 당신 make?"
"Mom..."
"What? I'm curious."
"I made almost a thousand dollars in tips so far."
"Wow. Amazing. Well, we're almost home. See 당신 when we get there."
"Okay. Bye, mom."
"Bye, Becky."
Then I hung up. I made sure the house was cleaned up and everything. I was sure I'd be fine, until I heard the doorbell ringing. I went over to the door and answered it.
"Hello?"
I didn't get an answer, but someone blindfolded me and covered my mouth, leaving a ransom note for my parents. He left with me, only 30 분 before my parents and my brothers got home.
30 분 Later
My parents and brothers came 집 and noticed that the door was unlocked. They knew that I knew when I'm alone in the house, I'd lock the door for my own protection. They didn't know what happened to me. They walked into the house and put their stuff down and looked around, but couldn't find me.
"Where's Rebecca?" My mom asked.
"She may be with Michael. Call him." Alex suggested.
My mom took out her phone and called Michael, hoping to find out where I was. It was after my mom called him that my dad found the ransom note and started getting scared.
With Michael
Michael heard his phone go off and answered. "Hello?" He asked.
"Michael? This is Rebecca's mother." My mom said.
"Oh hey. What's going on? 당신 sound worried."
"Is Rebecca over there with you? She's not here."
"I'm sorry, but she isn't. I dropped her off a little over an 시간 이전 from work. Why?"
"We can't find her."
Michael was, at that point, scared. 'I knew I should have stayed with her until her parents got home!' He thought. "Don't worry. I'll help 당신 guys look for her."
"Thank 당신 so much, Michael. Bye."
"Bye."
Then they hung up. Michael was super worried. He quickly called his brothers and asked them to help with a 검색 and told them that he'd give the details when they meet up at the park. He quickly changed and headed to the park 의해 himself.
'I hope she's alright. Please be alright, Rebecca.'
At The Park
Michael ran into the park and saw his brothers standing 의해 a tree. "Guys! Thanks for helping." He said, running up to them.
"No problem, Mike. What's going on?" Jackie asked.
"Rebecca's mother called me earlier. She sounded worried and told me that they couldn't find her."
"What? Was she at home?"
"No, she wasn't. At least when they got there, she wasn't. I had just dropped her off a little over an 시간 이전 after picking her up from work. They need help finding her."
Soon, they heard leaves rustling. They turned and saw someone running away with a bloody knife. Jackie and Jermaine got in their car and drove off after the guy who just ran out from behind the bushes. Soon, my parents pulled up to the park in their car. Michael saw them and my brothers run over to him.
"Anything yet?" My dad asked.
Michael shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry, but the only thing we got was the leaves rustling and a guy running away with a bloody knife. Jackie and Jermaine are driving after him right this minute." He then heard sirens of the police going off down the street, pass the park, following Jackie and Jermaine. (Me: No, they weren't speeding. They called the police while driving after that guy.)
"Oh my goodness..." My mom said, worried and scared.
Within a few seconds, they heard muffling coming from the bushes. Alex went over cautiously and looked behind the bushes. He saw me tied up and struggling to break free.
"Mom, Dad! Over here!" Alex shouted.
Michael, Tito, Marlon, Randy, Ricky, Eric and my parents ran over to the bushes and gasped.
"Oh my God, Rebecca!" Michael said.
He got me up and helped Alex untie me and took off the tie around my mouth. He let me go to my parents and they hugged me and held me close, 키싱 my head.
"Oh goodness, Rebecca. Don't scare us like that." My mom told me.
"It wasn't my fault, mom. I was kidnapped."
My mom rubbed the back of my head and kissed my forehead. "We were so worried about you."
"I'm sorry." I cried a bit on her shoulder.
I then lifted my head and looked at Michael. I got out of my parents' grasp and ran over to Michael and hugged him tightly. he hugged me back and rubbed my back and kissed my cheek.
"My God, Rebecca. 당신 really gave us a scare. Are 당신 alright?"
I felt Michael's hand run over a spot on my neck and I gasped in slight pain. "Ouch..."
Michael was curious and moved my hair and saw a deep cut on the back of my neck. He gasped himself. "Oh my God...we need to get 당신 to the hospital."
"I-I'll be fine...d-don't worry..."
Soon, I passed out from blood loss. Tito, Randy and Marlon got in Tito's car and my parents, brothers and Michael got me into their car and went to the hospital with Tito following. Michael held a towel to the back of my neck to help the bleeding slow down. He was super worried now about me. He was afraid that if the hospital couldn't do anything, I'd die and he wouldn't know what to do without me.
At The Hospital
My parents and Michael rushed me inside and the nurse at the reception 책상, 데스크 saw me. She quickly took me, on a bed, to the ER for stitches. She told Michael and my parents to stay in the waiting room while they stitched up the back of my neck. Michael sat on one of the chairs, feeling guilty for not staying with me until my family got home, even when I said he didn't need to. (Me: I was afraid of being caught doing something with him if my parents came 집 before he left.) My parents saw Alex, Ricky, Eric, Tito, Marlon and Randy come into the waiting room.
"Is she gonna be alright?" Ricky asked.
My mom shrugged her shoulders, still worried. "I'm not sure, Ricky. It'll depend on the outcome of her stitches and how much blood she lost." My mom said.
Michael put his head in his hands, shaking a little. Tito noticed and put a hand on Michael's shoulder.
"You alright, Mike?" He asked.
"I should've stayed with her until they got home...this wouldn't have happened if I had chosen to stay with her...I feel so stupid to even let her be alone." Michael muttered, tears falling down his cheeks.
Michael hit his leg with his fist out of frustration for even thinking I would be alright 의해 myself after work. (Me: I told him I'd be alright after work.) Tito tried his hardest to comfort Michael. So far, some of it calmed him down, but he was still frustrated at himself.
2 Hours Later
The doctor came out of the ER and into the waiting room. Alex went up to the doctor, a bit worried.
"Is my sister alright?" He asked.
The doctor nodded. "She's alright now. She's in recovery at the moment. We can't let anyone go in there, though, but 당신 can see her through the window. Come with me." He said.
He started walking toward my recovery room with my brothers, parents, Michael and his brothers following. Once they got to my room, they looked at me and my mom almost cried. Michael let a few stray tears fall down his cheek.
"When will she be able to get visitors?" Michael asked, wiping the tears away.
"She's allowed to have visitors tomorrow. Don't worry, she'll be alright."
They nodded and my parents left with my brothers. Tito, Marlon and Randy went back into the waiting room and Michael stayed at the window. He lightly hit the plaster glass with his fist.
"I'm sorry, Rebecca...I shouldn't have left 당신 alone to let this happen to you..." He took his hand off the window and blew a 키스 to me through it. "I 사랑 you, Rebecca. I'll be back to see 당신 tomorrow."
Then he left with his brothers and they took him home. He couldn't help but feel guilty. He looked out the window and let the tears fall, afraid I wasn't gonna make it. Marlon heard him crying and rubbed his back.
"She'll be alright, Mike. Don't worry." Marlon told him. "Your girlfriend will be alright."
Michael looked at Marlon. "How did 당신 know she and I were dating?"
"I had a feeling. Plus, I overheard 당신 saying 'I 사랑 you' to her through the window."
Michael sighed. Once they got to Neverland, Michael got out of the car after thanking Tito for the ride and headed inside after Tito drove off to take Marlon and Randy home.
Michael went into the bedroom I stayed in and laid down. He was thinking of what to bring me when he visits me at the hospital tomorrow.
"What would she like? Flowers? What 꽃 does she like again? Hm..." He thought about it for a few minutes. "That's right. She likes roses. Yellow and red 장미 are what she told me she likes. I'll get some tomorrow morning before I go visit her. I'll probably pick some from the 꽃 garden for her instead of buying them."
He sighed and closed his eyes, eventually falling asleep, dreaming about me.
In The Dream
Michael and I were walking around the park, finding a good spot for our engagement photo. When we found the right spot, I turned to him.
"Michael, I have something to tell you." I said.
Michael turned to me. "What is it, babe?" He asked.
I smiled a little. "You're gonna be a dad, Michael."
Michael was shocked. "Really?"
I nodded. He picked me up and kissed me.
"I can't believe this. This is the happiest moment ever!" He exclaimed with joy.
He hugged me and I hugged him back.
"How far are you?"
I looked at him and smiled a little. "I'm about 2 months."
He smiled and kissed my head. We got under our 나무, 트리 and sat there, me between his legs and my back to him, his arms around me, resting on my stomach. We stayed outside as late as we could. We saw the sun set and a shooting 별, 스타 and made two wishes together. We never told each other our wishes because if we did, they may not come true. (Me: superstitions! Gotta 사랑 them haha, just kidding.)
Michael woke up from the dream. He was wondering what the dream he just had meant. We had only done it once and that was when I first stayed over last week. He thought back to when we had made 사랑 and blushed.
"What if...what if I got her pregnant?" He asked himself.
That was what worried him the most. He always wanted to be a dad and he knew he told me that. I had told him before that I always wanted to be a mother. That was something he and I had in common with each other. We both wanted to be parents. 'Well, if she is...it would be exciting. I'll be there to help her whenever she'd need it. She'd be a great mother if she is pregnant. I know it.' He thought.
He then closed his eyes and went back to sleep, humming I'll Be There to help him sleep, with the thought of probably having a family of his own with me going through his mind while the song played in his head.
