Michael•

I watched as Jayden talked to one of her old friends from school which was a guy. I couldn't help but to feel jealous and insecure, lately I haven't been liking my face, the way I look, nor this afto. Lately I've been thinking of getting a nose job, its trendy.

A couple minutes later, Jayden walks over to me and wraps her arms around my neck, "Lighten up baby." She smiles, pecking my lips softly

I force a fake smile on my face and took a sip out of my drink, "You okay?" She asks, caressing my face softly, "I'm ready to leave thats all, but I don't wanna ruin your fun." I replied, "Well lets go, we can leave babe. Let me tell Ray bye though." Jayden pecks my lips before running off to the guy

Scrunching my face up I roll my eyes, "Let me go tell Raay bye, meh meh mehh." I mocked before following behind her, "You looked stunning tonight as always, man I miss what we had." Ray says causing me to stop in my tracks

Jayden smiles and shrugs, "I do too sometimes but, I'm with someone who makes me happy. Someone I see myself with for the rest of my life, Ray. I'm sorry but I've found my soulmate." Jayden says causing me to smile softly

Still dont appreciate the fact she said she misses him too, so I took it upon myself to wrap my arm around her waist and pecking her cheek, "Ready, Butterfly?" I ask softly

"Yes, Ray this is Michael, Mike this is Ray." Butterfly introduces us, the guy held his hand out for me to shake, "Ray Pierce." I did the same, "Michael Jackson."

"Seeya." Jayden says before leading us out to the car, it was very silent as I drove home

We went inside and took our showers and got in the bed, I was laying in Jayden's lap as she watched Spongebob, "Butterfly can I ask you something?" I ask softly

"Of course." She replied, pausing the show, I took a deep breath before popping the question, "Do you still love me the way you say you do?"

She pauses for a second before smiling, "With every fiber in my body." I couldn't help but to smile, "Would you still love me if I got a nose job?"

"Why do you want a nose job babe? You're perfect the way you are." Jayden smiles, "Its just, I wanna change my style a bit. I don't feel perfect." I replied, playing with the ring on her finger

"Look at me Michael." Jayden says, cupping my face in her hands once I sat up, "I think you're flawless but if you want to fix any flaws that you see on yourself, do it. You're still gonna be my Buggs, no matter what." She smiles at me, pecking my lips softly, "Thank you." I smile back, kissing her nose softly

Jayden•

I softly caressed Michael's face as he slept, his face was all bandaged up. Maybe a week after asking me about it he got his nose done, he's really happy about his procedure. I must admit, it will take me some time to get used to Michael but I know he's still the same.

A couple seconds later, he kinda moved around a bit before opening his eyes and yawning, "What time is it?" He asks, looking up at me, "4:50-5:00, are you hungry?" He nods his head softly, "Okay, potatoes or soup?" I ask softly

"Can I have broccoli cheddar tonight?" His eyes were so big and pretty, I couldn't help but to smile and nod, "Of course, baby, you wanna come downstairs or are you comfortable here?"

"I'll come with you, I'm not crippled Butterfly." Michael says with a smile, "Yea but you're head is still soft, but lets go."

Slowly, I help him to his feet and lead him downstairs, I don't have a problem taking care of my baby, its my job. After I whipped us up some Broccoli Cheddar soup, we ate and watched whatever was on Cartoon Network.

"Babe, I wanna ask you something." I said, drinking my water, "Yes?" He asks, "We should go on a diet, well not a diet but just clean up how we eat. Lets cut out red meats, eat more veggies but continue to eat the things we love. We don't have to cut out everything but you know. Lets like switch things, ground beef can be substituted with ground turkey." I explain softly, "No more KFC?" Buggs pouts softly, "Every now and then, but I think we should eat healthier babe, we don't eat bad but we can do better. We dont have to eat rabbit food but." I shrugged softly and looked over at him

He held a soft smile on his face and nodded, "Sounds like a plan, lets cut out fatty junk food and eat healthier. I like the sound of that." He says causing me to smile and lay a kiss on his cheek, "I love you." I mumble, "I love you."

It was a high tension in the air as we wrote our verses, Onyx and I still haven't just sat and talked about the arguement from like 2 months ago. Its just, you can talk about me all you want, don't speak on the people I love. I didn't get to meet my son and I didn't get to hold him, yes, but do not speak on him.

I hummed the beat of our song silently as I wrote down some lyrics, "Jayden." Onyx calls, slowly I lift my head to look at her, seeing so much hurt and regret in her eyes, "Yea?" My tone was deep and cold

"We need to talk because the tension in here is deadly." Onyx says, I sat my notepad down and curled up in the chair, "Talk." I replied

"I'm sorry. What I said was wrong, I was thinking, I was jealous. When we first started this group was about us, us all, now its mainly about you- but thats not your fault. I shouldn't have talked about Prince, that was such a low, I am so sorry again. I hope you can forgive me and we can go back to normal." She says

I examined her as she talked seeing that she meant every word she said, biting my lip softly I thought over it before nodding softly, "Yea." I reply

Her eyes lit up and she smiles, leaning over and hugging me, "Thank you. I love you." She smiles and pecks my cheek, I smiled back and hugged her back, "I love you more."

Its for the best, put your feelings to the side but never let Prince go. "Lets go over So Good." I called standing to my feet with a smile
