Waiting as patiently as i could to here what they had to say i was about to burst. "You have a family." Annie said. I was confused. "Dont play with me Annie." i said getting a little angry. "No im serious, you have one. Here he is." she said. I looked around but didnt see anyone. "Who?" i asked. "hmm me." michael said pointing to himself. "What?? Really??" I asked. He nodded and smiled i couldnt believe it i cried tears of joy. "Oh my god i cant believe this." i said weeping. He took me in his arms and said "go pack. were going home." I nodded and headed up to my room and got out my suitcase that i brought here 8 years ago and started to go to my drawers and started to pack. "Paige where are you going?" Summer one of the girls i came to love asked. I turned around. Summer was only 5 years old i had known her since she was she was first brought in at age 3 because her parents had died in a car crash. "Hey Summer sweety come here i have to tell you something." I said motioning her to me. She came and sat down on my bed that i had been sleeping on for the last 8 years. "Summer i got adopted." I said. "Really by who?" she asked hugging me. "You cant tell anyone ok do you understand?" I asked huggin her close to me. "Ok i wont tell i promise." she said. "I got adopted by someone famous you wouldnt know who he was you are too young but when you are older i will have Annie tell you ok." I said. She nodded her head. "Can i help you pack?" she asked. I nodded and we got to work. Soon i had all of 2 suitcases packed full of clothes, the same as when i came only bigger sizes. I hugged her and the 39 other children and headed back downstairs. "Hey baby are you all set?" Michael asked. I nodded and smiled i dried my tears. "Come on let's go." he said. taking me by the waist and heading me out the door. Before we walked out the door i hugged Annie. "Thank you for all of these great years that we have had together." I said. "No problem we are going to miss you greatly. You have always been a delight to have, especially on Tuesday nights when you would sing songs for us." Annie said. I hugged her again then we both headed out the door. I still couldnt believe that i was going to a real home for the first time in 8 years. I was so overwhelmed by the thought that i cried silently all the way to the most beautiful house in the whole world. "Welcome to your new home." Michael said hugging me as i was looking out the window of the limo. The house was so big and beautiful. He had everything, flowers were in bloom and he had the most wonderful trees. "Wow Mic-- i mean dad this is SO wonderful it is just amazing." i said. "Thanks baby and if you do call me Michael its alright, the whole daddy thing is just new to you. You'll get used to it." he said. I smiled. Soon we pulled up to the front door and then Dad and I got out of the limo. A man dressed in white came up to us. "Charles this is Paige my new daughter, will you please take these bags up to one of the empty bedrooms we have please?" Dad asked. "Well it is nice to meet you miss. Jackson, what is your favorite color?" Charles asked. At first i didnt know what to say then finally i said. "Red and Black are my two favorite colors," i felt so shy. "Alright then, these will be up in your room, if you will follow me please i shall show you where it is." Charles said. i giggled a little i found his british accent a little funny. We walked inside and this house was just beautiful. It wasnt what i expected though it was still beautiful. The whole house was full of very nice funiture and there were Disney characters everywhere. Its like it was ment for a kid. "So what do you think so far?" Dad asked me as we followed Charles up to my room. "Words cant describe the feeling i have over this house." i said with my eyes wide OPEN!! I was in shock i loved the house so much. but i loved my daddy even more. "Hehe well im glad to hear that." He said. Finally we got upstairs and i thought i was going to need a map to get around this place. But i guess that if im going to be living here for a while it will all come natural. We headed to this room that was painted Red with black polka dots my dream room it just needed a few things but i figured i could put somethings up later. "Your room madam." Charles said. "Thanks Charles it is so beautiful it is perfect." I said smiling. He smiled and set down the suitcases in the room. "Will there be anything else?" He asked. "Yeah is there like a map i could use to get around this house?" I asked in a joking voice. He laughed then he left. "Hehe you will find your way around im not working on any albums right now so i can always help you if you need it." Dad said smiling. "So do you want me to help you unpack?" He asked. "Sure why not." i said and we started to unpack my clothes. "Wow sweety we might need to do some shopping you dont have a lot of clothes." Dad said. "Yeah well when you have been at an orphange for 8 years you tend to grow and only have so much money to buy new clothes, other kids that are younger get your old clothes, but i was the oldest." I said putting shirts and pants away. "So can i ask you a question?" He asked sitting on my bed. "Only if i can ask you one after words." I said sitting next to him. He nodded. "Alright so i know you where an orphan but what got you into an orphange?" He asked. "Well i was born into a family who didnt care. I was abused and abandoned. I learned how to do everything on my own by the time i was 5, i learned how to read and write and speak, something most people dont learn until they are older. My parents where major acholholics, and everynight they would leave at 5 and come back drunk at 3 in the morning i would be asleep, and my father would come in and wake me up. I was beaten for something that i didnt even do. he said i did something when i really didnt he would just beat me tender. If i faught back or argued he would beat me 10 times harder. My mom used to call me her little drunkin mistake. I was cut by razors, a broken beer bottle, and a knife. Once I was cut with the knife the police took my parents away. I had aunts and uncles but they were just like my parents. So the only thing for me to do was to go to an orphange and so that's what i did, thats what i had to do." I said as calmly as i could. Michael looked at me he hugged me something i got from all of my friends everyday. "Alright alright, i love your love but now its my turn. What is your family like?" I asked. "Hmm my famly is very large and i mean very large, My mother is a saint she is just wonderful she is loving and caring and fun. She had polio as a child but she got over the disease. She was always telling me not to ask but to give. I loved my mother she will alway be a big part of my life. As you are now." He said. I nodded and smiled waiting for him to go on. "My father was a distant man. He would beat his children if we did something wrong when we were rehursing. We couldnt ever call him dad or daddy we had to call him Joe. I grew up in a small house with a family of 11 6 boys and 3 girls plus my parents, it was a three bedroom house. We were a musical family, my brothers and i were in a band called The Jackson's then the Jackson 5 then once again the Jackson's, i never had a childhood i was always working. I rarely had time to play or anything else it was always work work work. I liked to sing and dance but i wasnt forced into it. I loved my family all of them. And now you are apart of my life, my family, and i love you soo much." He said. I knew his words were true. I loved him so much more. "Daddy i love you more." I said. Then i hugged him till i could feel his soothing heartbeat. I was finally home. |
