The New Guy [Michael Jackson]

48...We're Meant To Be, Remember?

~Jada's POV~
I finish cleaning all the broken glass on the floor, while sobbing, as Michael walks in the door.

"Hey, baby. Sorry I wa-Jada? Why are you crying?" He asks, running over to me.

"Because you don't love me anymore and you're gonna go with Lisa Marie!" I sob and he frowns.

"Who told you that?" He asks.

"Lisa!"

"Well, she's lying because you're the one I love. Baby, don't believe whatever she told you. I love you and only you. You're my wife, not Lisa. You're my soulmate, not Lisa. You're my life, not Lisa. You're my happiness, not Lisa. Jada, I don't love Lisa. I love you. Now, give me a kiss." He says and I remember something she said.

I slap his arm and he looks at me, shocked.

"What the fuck was that for, Jada?!" He shouts.

"Don't shout at me! Lisa told me about the kiss you guys shared! You kissed her, Michael! No wonder you were so distant with me!" I snap and he looks shocked and guilty at the same time.

"I-I" he mutters, not knowing what to say.

"That right there, clarifies that you did kiss her. I am so shocked and disappointed in you, Michael." I cry.

~Michael's POV~
Oh my god, the look she just gave me is the coldest look ever. It's so heartless and hateful. I feel so guilty and horrible. I didn't kiss Lisa. She kissed me! But, I didn't stop it so I guess it is partly my fault. God, I feel so terrible.

"I-I'm so sorry, Jada. She kissed me! I just didn't stop it in time! I'm so so so sorry. Can you please forgive me?" I ask with so much hope.

She shakes her head and I can feel my heart shattering inside my chest.

"I-I'm sorry, Michael. You promised me that you wouldn't cheat on me or do anything to hurt me and look what you did. You hurt me. You let me down. I will stand by you and support you through the whole trial as your wife because I care about you but after..." She trails off.

"What?" I ask and then she says the most heartbreaking thing that I never thought she'd say to me.

"After the trials are done, I want a divorce." She says and my jaw drops as tears form in my eyes.

Even the way she said it. She seemed so serious and cold about it.

"N-No, Jada. No. We can't break up. We can't divorce. We're meant to be, remember? We're supposed to be together forever. Jada, I love you and I'm so sorry about that kiss with Lisa. I meant nothing to me. Nothing! I swear! Please, please, don't leave me! I love you! Please don't divorce me!" I beg as tears cascade down my face and I become a sobbing mess.

"N-No, Michael. This proves that we're not meant to be together forever. Michael, I love you but you hurt me. You kissed another woman. Behind my back. I can't believe you did that, Michael. I know the reason for the time I left you when we were first engaged was stupid but this. This is a reasonable reason for a divorce. We can't be together now, Michael. I've made up my mind." She says and walks out of the room.

I collapse to the floor as tears continue flooding my eyes.

Jedell and Rylee come running into the room and hug me.

"Dad, you know she isn't gonna go through with this, right?" Rylee whispers.

"She said she made up her mind. You both know your mother well enough  to know that when she has her mind made up, there's no changing it. I promise I'll still see you girls." I say and they nod as tears start rolling down their cheeks and I pull them into a hug.

"Dad, did you really kiss that woman?" Jedell asks and I nod, guiltily.

"I did. A long time ago. I feel soooo bad about it. I'm sorry, girls." I whisper.

"Dad, since you're being so honest, I'd like to admit something." Rylee says.

"Go ahead, sweetie." I nod and she sighs.

"I have a boyfriend and I've already had my first kiss." She says and my jaw clenches.

"What?" I ask, trying to sound okay.

"Dad, I'm joking. But I do have a boyfriend. We're just not at the kissing and all the lovey-dovey stage yet." She giggles.

"Oh, thank god! Don't do that to me." I chuckle and she shrugs smugly.

"I didn't know you were dating someone! Who is it? It better not be Tommy." Jedell giggles and Rylee smirks, nodding her head.

"Well, tell me more about this Tommy." I say and Rylee shrugs.

"Okay." She smiles and I fake a smile.

As she starts rambling on about her boyfriend, I look past her and see Jada peeking at us with tears still flooding her eyes but I just pretend I don't see her so I can see what she does. She looks at us some more, looks down, and then walks away.

-Later on tonight-
I walk upstairs and walk into the bedroom and see Jada looking through the closet.

"Um, I'll go sleep in one of the guest rooms and you can sleep here. I'll just grab my things." I mumble and she looks at me.

"No. I'm sleeping in one of the guest rooms. You're sleeping here. It'll be practice for you for when we're divorced." She says coldly, then leaves the room.

Just the sound of the word divorce, gives me shivers and makes my heart shatter.

I sigh and walk over to her makeup stool and dresser. I pick up her bottle of perfume and take the top off.

I walk to the bed and pick up one of her long pillows and spray her perfume all over it. I change into my pyjamas and crawl into the bed. I bring the pillow close to me and cuddle with it, pretending it's Jada.

'God, why did I have to mess up?' I think as I cry quietly into the pillow.

~Jada's POV~
I collapse on the bed and start sobbing uncontrollably into the pillow. I know it was just a kiss but it hurts that he would kiss another woman behind my back.

Once the trials and accusations are over, I'll give him a little time to recover that and then I'll file for divorce.

I hear the door creak open but I don't bother to look to see who it is.

I feel someone crawl onto the bed with me and hug me but I can tell that it isn't Michael. It's one of my daughters.

"Everything's gonna be okay, Mom. I promise." Rylee whispers.

"No, it won't be. I can't live without your father but he hurt me and I have to leave him. I'm tired of being hurt." I whisper.

"I can tell that you still love Dad even though you're feeling a lot of hate for him right now but I can tell you love him more than anyone." She whispers back as tears start to fall from her eyes.

"I do love him more than anyone besides you and Jedell. Rylee, please don't cry." I sigh as I wipe her tears.

"It just hurts to see you guys like this and it hurts to know that we'll never be a complete family again." She whispers back.

"I know, sweetie. And I'm sorry." I say and she smiles weakly.

"It's not your fault. It's Lisa's." She sighs and I nod.

She hugs me and I smile down at her because I've missed her being so cuddly and close with me.

"Can I sleep here tonight?" She asks quietly and I nod.

"Of course, Ry."

"Thank you, Mom. I love you." She whispers.

"I love you, more." I whisper back.
