Marcus, Aliyah's dad, sits in his office, tapping his pen against his desk waiting for his next patient.

Carmen, the receptionist of the building, walks into Marcus' office looking around the bright room due to the sunlight shining through the curtains

He looked up curiously. "Carmen who am I dealin' with today?" He asks politely

"A boy named Michael Jackson. 16 years old. He should be here any minute. His family said he's troubled."

Marcus chuckles little

- "Whatever's wrong with him, I know I'll get to the problem of it. I always do." Marcus cockily states, crossing his legs in his spinny chair

He was considered to be VERY good at his job, and could get to the bottom of anyone's problems.

Little did he know, Michael is extremely difficult to read.

"Yeah you probably will. We have nothing to worry about." Carmen chuckles along with him. She pushes her glasses further up her face clearing her throat, "I heard he's the one that Philly's been talking about."

"Really now?" Marcus asks, intrigued

Carmen nods her head. She looks out the door when she hears footsteps coming her way. "He's here." she says before leaving the room

Michael enters the office, with a very unhappy look on his face—which convinces Marcus that he really doesn't want to be here

Michael then sits down on the chair, slumps in his seat and just stares at him. He clears his throat grabbing a notepad. "So, Michael, can you tell me why you're here?"

He shrugs nonchalantly, giving Marcus a bored stare. "Well you're here because your family complains that they've had issues with you."

Michael exhales through his nose, and shakes his head.

"Why are you shaking your head? Do you disagree?"

"I do." Michael simply says. And it's the only thing he says throughout the whole appointment.

15 minutes later...

Michael has not said anything. Absolutely nothing. Marcus starts to get irritated with him. "Michael I would appreciate it if you'd cooperate with me."

Michael smiles. But no words

Marcus sighs. He's heard about Michael and finally seeing him face to face, makes him even angrier. "You know what Michael? Let's cut to the chase. What's going on in that head of yours so we could make this quick." He asks

Michael just smiles once again.

Not saying a word

Instead of being a broken down drunk, Michael sucks it up and plans to just apologize to her—but he always does that. So he tries to think of something else to do. She seemed so sure about leaving him. Although she never said the words "I'm breaking up with you," he sees it that way

He plans to get her something special to show he really does love her, and that he's sorry for everything

But just as he is about to walk out his door-

"What the- Benny? Devon? Watchu doin' here?" Michael asks as they were just about to knock on his door.

They grinned amongst each other. "We was jus' bout to come an' hang out. Where you goin'?" Devon asks as Michael walks past them going down the stairs to the lobby.
