Chapter five

February 1, 1969

"This house is big daddy!" I looked around looking at the nicely decorated home. I took off my shoes dropping my bags on the floor with Antonio

We ran around the house laughing "Angel look we have a pool and basketball court!" Antonio pointed, we looked out the glass patio door staring into the backyard

"Kids!" I heard my mom called for us, I bumped Toni and ran away with him chasing after me "Mommy!" I ran behind her legs giggling moving away from my brother

"Calm down and sit next to your sister" Our dad said,We instantly sat down next to Heather. I snuggled next to her.

"While we are living out here there's going to be some rules. Heather you will still be attending high school finishing your Junior and senior year. Nothing has changed you can still hang out and do what's on your mind i trust you as long you're being responsible and keep doing good on your music career" Heather nodded not speaking a word

"Angela and Antonio you two will be attending a private school with Randy, Erika, and Tina. Angela your vocal lessons are still here but if you choose to get involved with other activities we won't stop you. Antonio I want you to be on your best behavior well put you into basketball training right away" Me and Antonio just sat there listening to him

"The only few rule i want you three to follow is to focus on school getting your education, look after each other, and be respectful" My father added

"Now let's get settled in. This is a five bedroom and three bath house. Go look for your rooms" I got up running up the stairs

I found a bedroom that was decorated beautifully with all the things i like, my barbie sat on a children's play table. My stuffed animals were placed on the window bench.

I climbed on the bench crossing my legs. I stared out the window watching the kids in the neighborhood ride their bikes.

"I hope living here is for the best" I mumbled to myself

Three years later

April 2, 1972

"I can't BELIEVE they made me wear my hair like this!" Tina exclaimed staring at herself in the mirror. Her parents made her wear twist she usually likes them but this time her twist was sticking up

"Tina can you please sit down you're giving me a headache girl" Erika pleaded, Tina waved her off huffing trying to fix the braid

"Here you go Janet" I opened the piece of candy for Janet before giving it to her "Thank you Angel!" She smiled

"Hey Janet is your brother's coming over for Easter?" Erika asked, Janet shrugged chewing on the piece of candy "It's Easter! Joseph should be bringing them now" Janet answered

"I hope so because my dear friend Tina likes your brother Randy" Erika smirked causing Tina to gasp loudly turning around

"I do NOT LIKE HIM" She yelled stomping her feet "Tina he's all you blabber about lately" I noted "Thats because- I give up" She held up her arms in distress

Knock!

We all stopped talking and heard a knock at the door "Come in!" I yelled. Antonio came in with Randy and two friends from school Gina and Lance

"Randy!" Janet jumped off my bed running over to Randy giving him a bear hug. I took a peak at Tina her face was red. I got off my bed going over to her "Tina let's see if my mom can fix braid" I grabbed her hand

Erika gave me a thumbs up, I did the same mouthing We'll be back. "Thank you Angel. This braid sticking up like an antenna is really embarrassing"

"You're welcome..you're like my overly dramatic sister" I laughed walking down the steps but stopped "Hey Tina! Hey Angela!" Marlon said with Michael next to him smiling

"Heys guys! Happy Easter" Tina walked down before me. "Happy Easter" Michael said still smiling "Happy easter guys!" I blurted instead of standing there being awkward

"Everyone is up in my room if you guys don't want to come up it's okay" I told them

"No it's okay we'll be up there I just hope you have a tv so we can watch Disney" He said, my brow raised "why wouldn't i have a tv?" I asked folding my arms and he shrugged

I giggled shaking my head "We'll be back she has to fix her hair. You can just go up and put a movie on" I said and he nodded than they walked upstairs going to my room

"Look at you being all calm" Tina joked "Psh" I fanned my hand "What?? when you heard that he made a song for Maria you were quiet for a while and Angel you haven't seen him in months due to tours" She added

Tina wasnt lying, Maria had stopped talking to Michael because the distance was too much and she liked someone from her church. I haven't seen or been at the Jackson's residence due to school and activities i've gotten myself into.

I recently discovered that I'm into science and plan on attending college at University of southern California. I joined a science club with Erika and art club with Tina. We also joined the little cheer team at our school for the third-fifth graders.

It has been going good out here lately, my mom became a LPN and my dad became a business owner. My sister was still making music and decided on attending UCLA studying fashion design she's in her Junior year.

"Mom do you think you can fix Tina's braid? it keeps sticking up" My mom turned around "Oh baby of course i'll fix it. it probably started sticking up from the scarf" She said

"Thank you Mrs.Woodlen" Tina thanked my mom with a small smile and relief

-

It was a long day at my house, we all did an egg hunt after watching Dumbo. Heather and them just watched us while the parents sat on the side barbecuing and talking over drinks

Marlon and Michael just decided to stay along with us since they didn't have any other plans or people to hand out with that their age.

We were back in my room laying around on the bed and floor watching Lady and the tramp. "Man i'm bored" I got off my bed going over to my record player

I grabbed a disc putting it on the player, The Isley Brothers song Shout started playing. "Come on y'all dance with me!" I was dancing snapping my fingers

"You make me wanna shout! throw my hands up and shout!" Michael and Marlon got off the floor singing and dancing

All of us started dancing in a circle going one by one showing off our dancing skills.
