More Than Friends

Memory Lost

Barri's POV

I opened my eyes. The room was blurry and spinning. "Baby, are you feeling alright?" Then my eyes focused. The one who called me Baby was a skinny, yet muscular, very handsome fella. He was standing next to a pretty lady that looked a lot like him. She must be his sister. He was so fine and he called me Baby I have got to try to remember him. "Hello,Baby are you alright?" His beautiful voice snapped me out my thoughts. " Yeah I'm fine, but I got this headache." I reached for my head. There was a knot on my forehead. How did that get there? "Yeah Joe, punched you real hard Baby." "I'm sorry. Who's Joe?" " Baby, Joe is the man who  married my mother and helped her um, conceive all her children." "Oh, so your father." "Yeah, only he is a terrible one. Don't you remember anything?" "I don't even know who I am or where I am or who you are, or why your father hit me." " It's me Michael Jackson. I'm a singer and I dance sometimes. I'm your boyfriend." " I'm really sorry Michael. It doesn't ring a bell." Then he open his mouth to sing. His voice was beautiful. " When I had you to myself I didn't want you around. Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd. But someone picked you from the bunch on glance was all it took. And now it's much to late for me to take a second look. Oh baby give me one more chance. Won't you please let me back to your heart. Oh darling I was blind to let you go, but now that I see you in his arms, I want to back, yes I do now. I want you back, ooh ooh baby, I want you back yeah, yeah, yeah. I want you back, na na na na. I want you back." I clapped my hands. "Bravo, you have quite the voice Michael." He looked very upset. Then his eyebrows went up. He must have gotten a great Idea. I saw him pull out several VHS. He put on in the VHS player. "Okay Baby just watch." I saw him on the TV. The performance was great, but it got better. Michael did a crazy walk across the stage. It should be called a moonwalk or something. It was great. "That was fantastic! Where did you learn to dance like that?" "I taught myself." "Really? That's amazing!" Michael sighed. Then there was a knock on the door. Then I saw a girl came in. She looked really familiar. "Hi. Barri right?" "uh." " I just came by to apologize for telling everyone at the hospital that you cried to your mama." I looked at her with the confusion I was feeling. First off, what was she talking about? Second, how did she find me. "Uh how did you find me?" " Well when saw you two on the news, I may or may not have followed you guys here. Guess I just remember things very well. I was just jealous that you got to meet Michael Jackson and I didn't." Now I was very confused. When was I on the news? "What's the matter. Don't you remember anything?" "No." " Well, I just wanted to make things right between us. After all, a friend of Michael is a friend of mine. He is my boyfriend." Tears stung my eyes. I didn't remember anything, but this man said he was my boyfriend. And did I mention he was fine? I ran out of that room, out of that house, I ran until I couldn't anymore. Suddenly, I felt dizzy. Then everything went dark.

Michael's POV

This person. whom I assume was the Julia, Barri was telling me about, had just lied to Barri. " Now why did you have to lie to her like that!" She just walked away laughing an evil laugh. I ran out the house after Barri. "Barri!" I called there was no answer. Just as I was about to give up ,hope, I saw Barri laying on the ground. "Baby, please be alright." I gently shook Barri. Once again she open those pretty eyes. " Honey what happened?" "Did you just call me honey?"  " Yeah, I mean you are my boyfriend and I am in love with you." "You mean you remember me?" " Of course honey. How could I ever forget you. I remember everything. Joe hitting me in the face me passing out , me not remembering anything, Julia lying to me, and me believing her, me running to this dark alley. Honey I'm sorry I believed Julia. I was just so confused. I didn't know what to think." " Don't even worry about it Baby. Let's go home." I helped her up and we headed home. Except I wasn't paying attention to where I ran. So I didn't know which direction to start heading. First we had to walk out this alley. After two minutes of walking we came to dead in. We turned around. After 4 minutes we came to a street. I read the sign to find out what street we were on. It was a street I never even heard of before. "Honey do you know where we are going?" "No." I hung my head in shame. We didn't have dinner. I brought no food or water and I am sure Barri didn't either. I was going to have to get us back home. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Honey it's alright. We'll get back to your house." We walked for forever. Every now and then, Barri would start falling and I would catch her. Now my legs were starting to hurt. I am used to dancing for hours at a time and  MY legs were hurting. I know Barri had to be exhausted. "Honey please, we have been walking for forever, can we take a break?" "Okay." We sat down on the pavement. As soon as my buttocks touch the pavement I popped back up. My buttocks still hurt from that whipping Joe gave me. I decided to tough it out and sit on the pavement. The night wind blew and I saw Barri shiver. I immediately pulled her into a tight hug. She fell asleep. How am I going to get us out of this one?
