It was April 10th, the day of the court date. I was sleep. "Mariyah, Mariyah get up its time to go to court." Michael whispered. "No I don't want to go just tell me what happened when you get back." I said. "Get up please." Michael said. I rolled over to ignore him. Then Michael grabbed my covers and wrapped it around me then pushed me off the bed. "Ouch!!!....why did you do that.?" I screamed. That's what happens when you be lazy and don't want to do anything period." He said. "Gosh do you have to give me a lecture." I Said. I looked at him with a mad face but then I thought it was funny. "Okay get up and put something nice one cause we have to go to court. You might not be in the court room you might have to another room." he said. He walked out of my room. What will happen? Who will keep me? That's all I said in my head that its driving me crazy. I'm getting headaches about it. After I got ready , I just sat on my bed thinking about it. Then the door open. It was Naomi Campbell. "Mariyah are you okay?" She asked. "Yea. I'm just keep thinking who's gonna have custody of me. It's driving me crazy." I said. "It's okay you don't have to think that. I know it's on your mind but be happy. Just put something on your mind that doesn't involves this." Naomi said. "Like what?" I ask. " Well after we leave the court maybe I can take you somewhere even if your parents have custody of you." She said. "Just think about a place you want to go and we will go there, okay." She said "Okay thanks Naomi I'm so glad your Michael's girlfriend." I said. I gave Naomi the longest hug ever.
1 hour later , it was time to go. We hopped into Michael's other car. The Amata. "Why can't we drive the Zender . Its much faster and better just like the zender beta." I ask. "Well the Amata is better. It doesn't look like a street racing car." Michael said. "Truuuuuuue." I said. We hopped into the car and drove away.
We finally got on the highway. The court was an hour drive from Michaels house and an hour and five minutes from my parents house. Knowing my parents they might be there by now. All in my mind I was saying the same thing." What will happen? Who will keep me?". When my mind was saying that I asked Michael a question. "Michael, what will you do if you have custody of me?". "I will do as much as I can to protect you and not loose you again." He said. I was thinking he would say that. Now I'm a little calm. To make me even more calm I put on some music to listen to. I closed my eyes to imagine all the things I do if Michael does have custody of me.
I opened my eyes to find that we're at the court house. I quickly got out my seat belt and out the car." Wow you must be really happy." Naomi said. "Me no I'm just......well yea....um I'm not thinking straight. I can't wait to see who has custody of me." I said. "Well don't get too happy. There might be outcomes you may not like." Naomi said. "I know. I'll just have to deal with it." As we were walking, we met up with my parents. "Hey mom and dad." I said. "Hey sweetie." They both said. Naomi gave my mother a hug and Michael gave my father a handshake. My dad name is also name Michael. Weird isn't it. Then the lawyer came out the court room. "Hello Mr.Jackson and Mrs. and Mrs.Finney. We will be heading into the court and Mariyah will be going to another room with Jessica Rights." The lawyer said. My parents , Michael and Naomi went into the court room while Jessica Rights took me into another which was on the third floor of the building.
While in the other room, Jessica Rights asked my question about what I do during my free time,what's my favorite subject, do I like school and my favorite Michael Jackson song. She asked me a lot of question. Half of them I couldn't answer. Then she asked me math questions. I'm a 8th grader so they were easy.
After 2 hours of questions, it was time to head back downstairs. When me and Jessica Rights got down there, my parents, Michael and Naomi were waiting for us. I rushed towards them. "What they say, what they say!" I yelled. Michael was looking at me like something went bad. "What happen?" I asked.Michael grabbed my hand. "Mariyah we have gotten the results and you won't be staying." Michael said. "What why? Why can't I stay?" I asked. "Cause you will be stay with me and Naomi." Michael said. When he said that I jumped up and down with so much excitement. I look at my parents. They look like they were happy too. "They said you could spend time with your parents too." Naomi said. I got even more excited. So right now we're gonna celebrate this moment at the house but first we gonna get your little brother Tyler.
We left the court house in such an excitement. We got my little brother from my grandmother's house and went straight to Michaels house to celebrate. Wow I don't have to worry about this no more. I can't wait to tell my friends the news.
