Whitney pov (February 17, 1986)
I been so busy especially getting ready for the Grammys. I turn on the radio. They were playing we are the world. I love this song. I hated I couldn't be apart of it but my cousin Dionne got to. I was talking in the phone to her then she was like I have someone I want to introduce you too. "Dionne, who are you talking about?" I ask. "Well you know I work with Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson. Guess which one ask why you couldn't be apart of it and who was ask about you?" She said. "Who? Girl?" I said being kinda sassy. "Michael Jackson !" She said. I kinda squeal. "What?" I said. "Yea he was asking how are you been and why you couldn't perform." She said. "Yea I was on tour wanted to do it too....." I said referring to we are the world. "Yea but he told me introduce y'all at the Grammys." She said. My heart skip a beat. "Really?" I said. "Yea he calls me moms at times. We mostly just be goofing off he so sweet and sentimental. Nip he is perfect." I cut her off. "No offense to Michael but Jermaine broke my heart. So what makes you think he won't be the same." I said. "Yea but he is so different." She said. "Fine I'll talk to him but, don't try to make it something." I said. "Yea but you know you love Michael since the Jackson 5. Your mom said you use to have a crush a on him." I rolled my eyes remembering those moments. I use love Michael. I had the biggest crush on him. Then, I started singing and then Jermaine came and ruined it all. I told her I see the Grammys.

"Hey Cissy and John where is your wonderful daughter. My friend, Michael would love to meet her." She said. My heart skip a beat. I have been so nervous considering I have to perform in a room with people. The people I grew up listening to. The show was going to start in about 20 minutes. I was so nervous. I had someone touch up my makeup. "Nippy?" My mom said turning around. "Yes?" I said turning around. Dionne's and Michael walk over to me. I looked into his eyes. My hearted melted.
