*Michael's point of view*
I watched as my beautiful bride-to-be sang with her strong voice she had. Even though I'm not really a rock fan, I wasn't lying when I told her and her group they had good music. I really am a ファン of her and her group. "Evanescence's" 音楽 is amazing. No wonder she is the クイーン of Rock and Pop. I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was wearing her お気に入り white tank 上, ページのトップへ and blue jeans with the rip ends at the feet that she changed into. She even had on her お気に入り black flip flops and put on black eyeliner and her make-up, making her look like エヴァネッセンス but still beautiful. All Taylor had to do was take off the eyeliner and she was the little girl I was so close with 8 years ago. She was still Taylor Jackson, my foster sister. I just fell in 愛 with her.
"Her 音楽 is very. . . .interesting, huh, Mike?" Jermaine said. I wasn't really listening to him because I got ロスト in the music, listening to each instrument. "They sound really good. Taylor never ロスト her talent." I said. "Yeah, but she abused it. She's using it in the wrong way." That caught my attention. I looked at Jermaine, ready to jump for Taylor's defense at whatever negative thing Jermaine had to say. Again. "What are あなた talking about, Jermaine? She's using it just fine. What, あなた don't like it?" Jermaine looked at the ground then grabbed my upper arm, pulling me out of Taylor's sight.
Jermaine let out a deep sigh like he was guilty. "Michael, I know あなた two are engaged and we told her that we would have her on the tour. But. . . " He wouldn't finish his sentence. I was waiting to hear the rest but he wouldn't speak. "But what?" I asked, pushing for him to finish. "But we can't have her come with us. Not with what 音楽 she has made. Taylor is not allowed to go on our 'Victory' tour, Michael." I felt my blood boiling from anger. He has gone too far when it comes to my fiance. I felt my hands getting into a tight fist. "Why can't she come, specificly?" I asked, 表示中 I was furious. "Michael, with the 音楽 and the message she has in her 音楽 we don't want-" "We?" I cut him off. "The others. We don't want the ファン to have to listen to one message and then another when the two messages are totally different."
"I don't understand. She made that 音楽 because she had no other way of expressing herself when she was taken away from us! Taylor tried everything but music! That was her only way! And your saying that あなた aren't accepting her because she wasn't coping when she was taken from us?!" I was yelling at Jermaine as if he was my father without the beating. "That's not what we mean, Mike! We don't like how her 音楽 is dark and depressing and filled with nothing but pain and sorrow!" Now Jermaine was yelling at me. "She wrote things like that because that's all she ever felt! She was in a dark and depressing world and she felt nothing but pain and sorrow!" Jermaine didn't say anything for a 分 while I tried really hard not to get real angry and hit my brother.
He put each of his hands on my shoulders and said,"Michael, I know that あなた 愛 her and あなた want to make her happy and あなた never want to break her heart. But your life together will have broken hearts. This will have to be one of those times. I'm sorry, lil' bro. We won't let her come and あなた can't bail on us." I wanted scream and cry at the same time. What am I going to do without my fiance for a 年 and a half? I can't even handle being away from her for a day. I let out a deep sigh and said,"When does the plane leave again?" "Next Friday." I have to tell her tonight. I have no choice. I have to leave her. "Fine. I'll. . .I'll talk to her tonight."
*Later that night in Taylor's view*
"Hey, Michael? What were あなた and Jermaine talking about when I was singing? あなた guys left and あなた came back looking depressed like あなた ran over a dog." I asked. Ever since that, Michael seemed like he was so tense and scared. I tried to relax him but nothing was working. Not even massging his shoulders worked. "Taylor, we need to talk." I immediately got scared. I never wanted to hear those words in one sentence with this mood from Michael. I hope it's not what I'm thinking of. "What is it, babe?" I asked while キス his shoulder as we sat on the ソファー, ソファ watcing the 火災, 火 burn in the fireplace.
"Jermaine, Tito, Randy and Jackie don't. . . .ugh. I can't do this!" I started to rub his shoulders again while he put his head in his hands. "Can't do what, honey? Tell me." "My brothers wanted me to tell あなた to not worry about the tour anymore." I was confused. What was Michael talking about? "What do あなた mean 'don't worry'?" "My brothers don't want あなた to come with us on the tour." Michael looked at me as he told me the truth with his eyes red like he was crying. "What? I don't understand." "My brothers think that because of what your songs are about, it wouldn't be a good idea for the ファン to hear it. I'm sorry, baby. I tried to convince Jermaine but he wouldn't crack!"
My ハート, 心 was breaking as I heard what Michael was saying. I thought his brother were actually loving and were going to keep me again no matter what happened to me. But I was wrong, The only sweet Jackson boy is Michael now. "Did あなた say that あなた weren't going to do it?" I asked. "Taylor, I have no choice. It's too late for me. I have to go no matter what. If I could bail, trust me, I would. But I have to go." I felt my ハート, 心 スプリット, 分割 in two. "What? Why didn't あなた fight? あなた fought for me to come with あなた but あなた didn't fight to stay home? あなた chose them?" I started to think Michael chose to go with his brothers than stay ホーム with me. "How could あなた think that? Before I even defended myself, Jermaine 発言しました I had to go. It was like he knew I wanted to fight for myself."
"But what am I going to do without あなた for three years, Michael?" He looked at me with confusion. "Taylor, the tour is only a 年 and a half. Where are あなた getting three from?" I realized I never told him that I was going to go on tour for エヴァネッセンス for my 最近 album that just came out. "I forgot. Dammit. When the 'Victory' tour ends, the 'Evanescence' tour I have for my brand new album begins. But where the last 表示する will be for your tour is where my begins. The only thing is that the days are back-to-back." "So we may see each other." "We are going to make everything up that we missed for a 年 in a half in a whole day? Michael, that's impossible. And we won't see each other because the night your コンサート ends, あなた 発言しました あなた get on a flight to come home. I now leave that same night. I won't see あなた until 1987, Michael!"
Michael was angry at what was going on and we walked into the キッチン both pacing around with the little island counter between us. "You know, if あなた had just fought anyway about あなた staying home-" Michael cut me off and started to get loud. "Taylor! I told you, he 発言しました I can't bail! What was the point of me saying anything?" "You could have tried to fight either way! It's better than just obeying at the spot! あなた should have at least tried! But あなた decided to let him win!" I started yelling at him back, making us get into an arguement. Our very first big arguement. "Taylor, if he tells me no, why should I try? There's no reason if he 発言しました no already!"
"Yeah and when あなた asked me if I wanted to go on the ferris wheel, I first 発言しました no and then あなた persuade me into doing it. And what did I do? あなた could have persuade into doing either one! But あなた chose to surrender too soon! あなた need to grow up, Michael, and deal with hurting your family because あなた already hurt me!" He came walking slowly towards me, looking into my eyes with innocence but guilt at the same time. "What do あなた mean I have already hurt you?" "You hurt me によって not even trying to stay with me somehow! あなた chose to cave into your brothers than fight for the girl who is in 愛 with あなた and wants to be your wife! I 愛 you, Michael, but damn! Man up to your family!" I started to walk away from him but stopped to look back.
"Oh, and when あなた finally come ホーム after 3 years without me, don't be surprised if あなた find out that I'm with someone else. I just might give up on what we have even though I don't want to loose you. Just a fair warning." I left the キッチン completely and went up to our room. I wanted to so badly throw something but I had to control myself. It was never a pretty sight when I got furious. I sat on my side of out king-sized ベッド and started crying. I hadn't cried this hard since I was 14. I so badly wanted to go back downstairs and tell Michael I was sorry but he needed to hear what I said. But he didn't need to hear that last thing. I should have never 発言しました that.
As I kept crying my eyes out, I felt warm slender arms ラップ around me and then a warm body pressing against me. I cried into Michael's シャツ and held him close to me, 表示中 I was sorry without saying it. He started to rub my back キス my shoulder. "Shhhh. It's going to be okay. Everything will be okay." Michael said, trying to calm me down. "No, it's not! We want to get married but it won't happen another three years. I can't wait that long, Michael." I looked at his addicting eyes, trying to catch my breath. "We'll work it out, Taylor. I promised I would never loose あなた again and I won't break that promise. We'll think of something. I know we will. And I'm sorry. You're right. I should have tried to fight. あなた were right and I'm sorry for what I said." "I'm sorry about what I 発言しました to Michael. I don't know why I 発言しました that."
I started to rub the back of his head and 塔の上のラプンツェル my fingers in his soft, curly black hair as he wiped my tears away from my face. I pulled his face closer to mine and kissed him hard and deep. I wanted to 表示する him with this キッス that I wasn't going to leave him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kept キス him as he pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around my waist the best way he could. I felt I was still crying and the tears were falling into the kiss. But I didn't care. I wanted Michael to know that I won't leave him and I will wait for him. No matter how long it takes. Because I 愛 Michael Jackson and I will become his wife unless he orders me away.
I watched as my beautiful bride-to-be sang with her strong voice she had. Even though I'm not really a rock fan, I wasn't lying when I told her and her group they had good music.

Child of innocence, I miss your sunny days
We joyously frolicked in extended plays
Ever since you've left the scene
The streets are lonely, dark and mean
Child of innocence, return to me now
With your simple smile 表示する them how
This world once again can respond to your glance
And heartbeats flutter to the rhythm of your dance
Child of innocence, your elegance, your beauty
Beckons me now beyond the call of duty
Come fly with me far and above
Over the mountains in the land of love
Child of innocence, messenger of joy
You've touched my ハート, 心 without a ploy
My soul is ablaze with a flagrant fire
To change the world is my deepest desire.

So we had our school retreat today, & there was a band right? They started playing will あなた be there, & my フレンズ were all nudging me going "it's MJ!" The thing is, I didn't know it was MJ when they first started playing. I had never heard will あなた be there before, yet all my フレンズ knew it. Isn't that kinda sad? My friend Emily was like "Keri, it's MJ get up & sing!" but I was like "I don't know the words." I learned it pretty fast though; they only played the first 2 lines over & over instead of the whole song, so I didn't feel like a total idiot!! So it was kinda embarrassing for me because my フレンズ all know me as the big MJ fanatic, yet I didn't recognize the song. But it really made my day!
The prosecutor in the Michael Jackson manslaughter preliminary hearing -- which begins tomorrow -- will not call Michael's eldest son, Prince Michael, to testify about what he saw the 日 his dad died ... sources tell TMZ.
Dr. Conrad Murray has 発言しました after administering CPR he ran downstairs and asked the chef to send up Prince Michael, who saw his dad's lifeless body lying in the bed.
In fact, we're told no one from MJ's family will be called to the stand during the prelim.
As TMZ first reported, prosecutors plan to call 30 witnesses during the 2-week prelim ... many of whom will be medical professionals offering opinions about the standard of care administered によって Dr. Murray.
There will be no "star witness" in the prelim. Sources tell us the various witnesses will form building blocks, making the case that Dr. Murray acted recklessly によって administering Propofol and other drugs to Jackson the 日 he died.

Some wannabe gambling tycoons have just opened an unauthorized Michael Jackson Casino online ... and TMZ has learned the real MJ Estate is ready to declare casino war in order to shut 'em down.
The gambling site -- which features everything from poker to baccarat -- features MJ's image and a message on the ホーム page that reads, "The King of Pop is proud to bring あなた the most exciting Vegas style online casino betting experience on the Net!"
Problem is -- the estate claims never gave the online casino the green light to use any of their trademarks ... and now Howard Weitzman -- the attorney for Michael Jackson's estate -- tells us he will, "take whatever legal actions are necessary to shut this operation down.”
Talk about a bad bet.

The Jackson family compound in Encino is gonna be locked down tighter than Fort Knox on the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death ... because we're told the LAPD is preparing for an onslaught of MJ faithful.
According to the LAPD, there will be 30 to 40 officers -- some uniformed, some undercover -- patrolling a one block area around the Jackson ホーム on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
We're also told other precautions will be taken -- including "no parking" signs around the house and a ban on all MJ merch sales in the area ... the same rules that will be enforced at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
The LAPD says 3,000 to 4,000 shirts were confiscated last 年 after Michael died -- so you've been warned.

TMZ broke the story -- Joe was gunning for AEG によって filing complaints with the California Medical Board and another agency, alleging the コンサート promoter abused Jackson in a way that led to his death -- and he's just filed with the Medical Board.
Joe claims days before Jackson's death Murray had requested a ハート, 心 resuscitation machine and a nurse in several e-mails making the request, but AEG never provided it.
According to the complaint, Joe is accusing AEG of co-opting Murray's medical judgment によって enticing him with a huge salary -- in effect engaging in the "unlawful practice of corporate medicine."
Besides the CPR machine, Murray also asked for saline, catheters, needles and a gurney.
AEG and Murray had no comment.
