~Jada's POV~
I walk over to the phone which is ringing like crazy and answer.

"Hello?"

"Hey, mom!" Christian says excitedly in the phone.

"Hey, buddy! How are you?" I giggle.

"Good. Dad bought me a cell phone!" He squeals.

"Wow! Really?" I gasp.

"Yeah. He bought Hope one too!" He says.

"Oh." I say.

"Um, dad wants to talk to you." He says.

"Oh. Christian, don't give him the phone." I say in a panicky tone.

I haven't really talked to Michael since 1994 when I broke up with him.

"Too late, Jada. He gave it to me." I hear Michael's voice say.

"What do you want?" I growl.

"Hey, hey. Calm down. I just wanna talk to you and hear your voice. I miss it." He says softly and I can already feel tears coming to my eyes.

"Ok. If you wanna talk to me, talk."

"How are things with you?" He asks, ignoring my rudeness.

"Amazing! I have a great career, I have great friends, I have a great house. Oh, and I have an amazing boyfriend who knows how to NOT cheat on me." I say.

"Jada. Please don't start." He sighs.

"Start what, Michael? I'm just telling you how things are with me." I say smartly.

"Jada, how many times do I have to apologize? It's been 10 years!!" He says.

"So?"

"Look, I know you still have feelings for me so please at least be nice or calm with me." He sighs.

"I don't have feelings for you, Michael." I snap.

"Yes you do. It's obvious! And plus, if you didn't have feelings for me anymore, you wouldn't still be mad about what happened 10 years ago." He says and I can tell he's smirking smugly.

I stay quiet for a minute and then speak.

"Michael.."

"Huh?" He grunts.

"I don't have feelings for you anymore. I just..you hurt me and I'm not ready to forgive you." I lie.

"Okay. Whatever you say." He sighs.

"Can I talk to Christian again?" I ask, on the verge of tears.

"Jada, can we please at least try to be friends?" He asks, ignoring my last question.

"Michael. Please just let me talk to my son." I sigh.

"Answer me first. Can we please try to be friends? Please?" He pleads.

"I'll think about it." I say.

"Yay!" He cheers, causing me to giggle lightly.

I cover my mouth as he gasps through the phone.

"Did i just make you giggle?" He whispers.

"N-No." I mutter.

"Oh, I think I did." He coos.

"Whatever. Bye, Michael." I say.

"Goodbye, Jada. I'll drop the kids off at your place in 2 hours." He says.

"Ok." I say.

"I love you." He whispers then hangs up.

I hang up and sigh. I walk over to the CD player and put Michael's HIStory CD in and play You Are Not Alone.

"Another day has gone. I'm still all alone. How could this be? That you're not with me. You never said goodbye. Someone tell me why. Did she have to go, and leave my world so cold." He starts singing and I burst into tears.

My cell phone starts ringing and I see its Haley so I answer it.

"H-Hello?" I sob.

"Jada? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" She asks.

"I-I talked to Michael."

"Jada, please stop crying. You have to get over the past. Forgive him!" She says.

"He wants to be friends." I say.

"Do you wanna be friends with him?" She asks.

"I don't know." I mumble.

I listen to the chorus of the song and she hears it through the phone.

"Jada, are you...are you listening to his music?" She asks.

"Yes.."

"Well, if you're so upset with him, why are you listening to his songs?" She asks.

"I miss him.." I admit.

"Aww. Jada. What about Alex, though?" She asks.

"I like him but..I don't know.." I sigh.

"Look, just think about what you want then figure out what you're gonna do. I have to go. Love you, girl." She says.

"Bye." I sigh.
