Tough Love Part 13; Part 1
Thank you for those who have voted so far, and if youâ??re happening to read this, make sure to vote for it! When Lyric did â??Rock Steadyâ?, I really liked when Taraji P. Henson did a cover of the song when she played April in Tyler Perryâ??s â??I Can Do Bad All By Myselfâ?. -Greetings from Aariyan! 8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8 By the time I woke up on Friday, I was very sure that Michael must go somewhere before I wake up. Clarence getting off at work between four and five means he goes to work at seven and wakes up an hour before that. I knew common sense should have told me my theory was correct, but I had to be sure this morning. I went downstairs to check and see. The sofa seemed spotless. Whatever evidence that was there which meant Michael was staying here had vanished. I went upstairs and the Manâ??s Room didnâ??t look any different than usual. So I went to get ready in the bathroom. I took one look at the mirror, and I saw a note was on a sticky pad. Attention Lyric, Youâ??re going to be picked up by Michael this afternoon. As soon as youâ??re dismissed, walk in the front of the school, and Michael should be across the street in his car. I suggest you hustle your way through the crowd before anyone sees him. And NO, you are NOT in trouble. Love your daddy One thing Iâ??ve got to say: dadâ??s format for writing a letter was wrong in some places. I could tell he rushed his way through the letter by the looks of his handwriting, so maybe thatâ??s the reason. But knowing my father, he probably wouldnâ??t have cared in the first place about his format. As I was getting ready, though, I was wondering why I was getting picked up by Michael this afternoon. Ever since heâ??s gotten here, Iâ??ve felt like Iâ??ve been tossed around like a rag doll. Itâ??s either â??Michael picks you up at this time,â? or â??Your dad wants you to meet him by the lake,â? it gets so tiring! Uggh! Then something else came to mind: Holy cow, Michael is picking me up from school today. Boy I wonder why! As I got on the bus that morning, I made it my business to tell Sherry, Patricia, and Danielle to not say anything about â??MJâ?. Only with a joke or two that slipped out with Michaelâ??s name not being mentioned, what happened stayed a secret between us. When it was lunch time, I was too unsure, so I ate just a little. The chicken salad was amazing, but I couldnâ??t stop having flashbacks about the note. I even had it in my pocket, and looked at it twice while eating. The jokes that I usually laughed at didnâ??t have my attention today, so I excused myself, went to the bathroom, and checked to see if I looked alright. I looked acceptable, so that was great! I was sure to have all my things, so when we were dismissed, I had to go around and dodge people, though I really prepared myself to leave the school building earlier. I told Pat, Sherry, and Dani I wasnâ??t riding the bus home, and I didnâ??t know why, so that was settled. As I was walking down the high schoolâ??s stairs, I saw his other carâ??the Mercedes. To be honest, I had an extra hop going to his car. Once I approached it, I knocked on his mirror lightly, and then walked to the other side, where he unlocked the doors. I put my book bag in the backseat, and then I sat beside this guy who I couldnâ??t describe in one word. â??Hey, Lyric.â? â??Hey,â? â??Did you feel today was weird? I bet you did.â? â??I surely did. Whatâ??s up now?â? â??Itâ??s too much to actually talk about. Just go with the flow, please.â? â??Fine,â? I said, throwing my hands up. I didnâ??t have the strength or heart to argue with him over something so petty. â??Thanks,â? he said. Once he left the curb, I wasnâ??t too sure WHERE we were going, but that wasnâ??t something I wasnâ??t going to question too much. I closed my eyes, and lay back in my seat much more. â??Long week?â? â??Not every day you get through a week, learning you just met a famous entertainer.â? â??The thing is, you havenâ??t treated me like a star before, so donâ??t start now.â? I looked over at him then, and he had a hopeful smile. I returned the smile, and then sat up. â??Itâ??s either I have an appointment or this. My week has been unpredictable. I just wish I had a little control over it, you know?â? â??Well, welcome to my world.â? â??Now I know whoâ??s the cause of me weird week!â? I said with a smile. I had my eyes closed again when â??Just a Little Bit of Youâ? sneaked its one on the radio. I looked over at Michael, he grinned. He started singing â??I told my mama how I feel, about your power, you love can heal.â? I started joining him in the chorus and did the back up for him. We were two old people singing together. â??So don't send no doctor to my door 'Cause Doctor John been here before Don't you send him, just come yourself Bring your loving and nothing elseâ? We singed that together as if we were Sonny and Cher. When it went off, we were laughing together. â??Lyric, do you seriously consider singing?â? â??I think starting off now is too late.â? â??Why? Youâ??re young, you have energy.â? â??Not everyone is fortunate enough to start their career at eleven.â? â??You are right, but I have four facts for you. One: Jackie had to wait until he was eighteen, and heâ??s happy now, despite the wait. Two: I would not have been a star at eleven without hard work to back that statement up. Three: my sister, Janet, became a star in her own right before she was eleven. She basically didnâ??t have to suffer as long as the rest of us. Then number four: my mother thought about singing. My parents love for music has been with them for a long time, and they had to wait forty and thirty0nine years for that to come along. They didnâ??t give up hope, so done be so quick to give up on yourself, Lyric. â??Not everyone has eight other siblings to call their own, but thatâ??s okay. If the world was filled with families that were like mine, there wouldnâ??t be any originality at all. I wouldnâ??t be interested in you because of your family. I would only care about you because of you. â??Both of us have had our own struggles with our own families. So, please donâ??t think Iâ??m better than you.â? As he was telling me this, he kept looking over at me, seeing if I was paying attention. When he was done, I finally looked at him long enough for both of us to gaze at each other for a second. Another minute passed and he never said anything. The atmosphere or vibe in the car still wasnâ??t back to ease, so I said, â??You are right Michael. Will the world be fascinated with me, though?â? â??Well, I am. Isnâ??t that enough said?â? â??So youâ??re saying youâ??re the world to me?â? â??Actually, I was saying I know at least a little bit of talent; but since you said it like thatâ??though I know you donâ??t mean it like thatâ??then sure, I said that because I mean the world to you, right?â? â??Uh, itâ??s a chance Iâ??ll take, about being on my own and starting my career without help.â? I said with a smirk. He mumbled yeah right. I said, â??What,â? then he said, â??I said yeah right,â? It didnâ??t take us too long after, when I noticed we were approaching the same place where my father fish. â??Now, what weâ??re doing right now?â? â??You ask too many questions, Lyric.â? â??A girl can never ask too many questions if things continually happen over her head without her say-so.â? â??Youâ??re just not understanding again.â? He sings. â??Thatâ??s because I donâ??t know.â? I singed back. I was surprised when he got out two note pads and this black chalk artists use to sketch. He handed one to me. The next thing that really had me was when he got a hold of my hand. My HAND? And it seemed like he was letting it go, either. â??Come on.â? He said in his beautiful way. â??Okay,â? I said giggling a little. 8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8D8 I hoped you guys really like this! The second part of this is coming as soon as I can. Love like always, Aariyan. Love you, Mikey!!
