Chapter 19: Your Turn

Y/N POV Two Days later (8/9/21)

When we left tampa, I am not gonna lie, I WAS PISSED. But I was pissed once again at the wrong person, I should have been pissed at me. I should have told X right off the back, why I made the deal with my mom. But instead, I  went into my sulking mode, and decided to bury whats really wrong.

Yesterday, I took the time out to tell everyone how sorry I was and that it was my decision. I shouldnt have gotten mad. To my surprise they all said it was fine. They left it at that. To be honest it was a little to easy, but I take the small wins when I can.

I spent the last 20+ hours editing what footage, I did get. Its not enough to do what I wanted but its enough to get the point across. I smiled an closed my laptop, I snuggled into It and ITC, since their night got hijacked by Bad and HiStory. I was about to dose off when I heard the Darth Vader theme ringtone, telling me my mother is calling.

I groaned, and asked for my phone. X passed it back, I picked up "Yes, mother." "WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, WHAT THE LAST 36 HOURS HAVE BEEN LIKE AND YOU CONVENIENTLY DECIDED NOT TO PICK UP YOUR PHONE!"  She yelled into my now deaf ear.

I switched ears and responded "Mother please calm down. Now please tell me, what are you going on about." My mother proceeds to yell at me everything that, I was anticipating about, Ofrah and Donna, but what surprised me was when she said "NOW, tell me EXACTLY WHY are you trying to meet up with your ex?" I froze and looked directly at X! I grit my teeth, and take a few deep breathes.

"Mom, I am gonna have to call you back." I hung up the phone. I crossed my arms and leaned back. "X, you are the only person with access to my phone and OTW, has the searching capabilities to find out who he is. So you both have until the time we reach our destination to explain to me what in the hell has been going on for the last day and a half."

OTW cleared his throat, "So X basically said, that you need to get closure too, in order to get home." Everyone nodded. I looked at X, "Was this a part of you wanting us to talk?" He nodded. "How long til we get to where we going?" Demon, "We are heading to hotel to shower, eat and chill. Then you are meeting up with your ex at 5pm." I nodded. "X, I strongly suggest, before we let out the only people that will stop me from strangling you, that you tell me what I need to know.

X looks at me nervously. Then he continues to explain his color transformation, energy transference, and the best I am guess is cell degeneration the 1000000th power. I sit back and take in everything. I looked up and realized we have arrived, the guys let me out and went inside to check in and gave them their room keys. I felt a hand on mine, it was OTW, I looked at him. "Hey, whats up?" he smiled sadly "Here, this meant for you. You had a rough few weeks, and figured you could use some alone time." I shook my head. "Naw, I honesty dont, If I am gonna meet my ex, I am gonna need as many drinking partners as I can get." I laughed and walked off to my room with Thrad and Demon (sleeping buddies, probably not too much of that tho)

I let them go first, since they take forever! The hair products and makeup alone....but hell they do look good. I hear a knock on the door and its X. "Come on in, you no wearing mask fool." I shake my head, its like he wants me to beat him. X pulled me to him and hugged me. At first I thought I was gonna cry, but I didnt. I just needed to feel loved. I have never been hugged just be hugged before. It was always for show, when my parents wanted to show they were 'parents of the year' they would shower me in kisses and hugs. It was always for the cameras or for appearances sake. Never for me, not until they came in to my life, that when I finally felt happiness.

X sat me down on his lap and hummed in my ear, we stayed like that for a few minutes when I felt something wet on cheek, I look up, to see was X crying. I grab his face, and pulled him down. I whisper "Whats wrong, baby?" He froze and looked at me for a few seconds, his eyes were purple. 'Where in the hell that come from, I never called anyone baby.' Ignoring my thoughts,I looked into his eyes. I smiled because purple was my favorite color, then I noticed his cheeks. "Why are you crying?" He just leaned and kissed me softly, and broke away. "I missed holding you, singing to you, I miss everything about you." With that he got up and left. I stood there confused and sad. I know our time hasn't been long together, but I didnt know he felt like that.

"Excuse me, young lady, take that funky ass into the shower please." To my surprise Thrad said. I just roll my eyes "You hang around Thriller, Bad, and HiStory too damn much." Then I felt two smacks to my ass, I decided to mess with them and sway my hips and say "Dont start shit you cant finish." Then I darted into the bathroom and locked the door. Thankfully I still have my phone on me so I called in Mikey and Vince for reinforcements or else I am never gonna be able to get out of here.

Time Skip bought to you by the Power of Mayor's dance number in Ghosts

Its now 4:45pm, the Michael's are all over the restaurant/bar.

X POV

"Okay everyone, remember no commentary, no wise cracks, if so then please mute yourself. You know what on second thought, go ahead and do that now. Y/N, will signal if she needs help." I say firmly like I do when our 6 kids decide they wanna plan a surprise for mommy.

Y/N is sitting at the bar drinking her second gin martini, in the last 10 minutes. "Y/N, slow down, you dont wanna..." I saw her head snapped in my direction, and I just shut up. I hate that look she gives it to me every single damn time, I tell her no more ice cream while she's pregnant. Its scary man.

My attention was drawn to the door when it jingled and this man walked in

"He is here Y/N. Its your time to shine, beautiful." As much as I should be focusing on Y/N right now with her Ex, Kevin Williams. I cant help but to realize, that all the Michael's including Y/N should be tired, but they arent. That scares me, they should all be a little tired, yawning something but they arent. I will worry about that later, right now I need to pay attention.

Y/N POV

"It's your time to shine, beautiful." X told me before he went silent. I waved down the bartender, "Order whatever you want." Kevin sat down next to me, and ordered "Manhattan, no cherries." The bartender nodded then looked at me, I downed my drink, and slid it over to him. "How you been, Kevin?" I heard him sigh, then I heard him get up.He picked up my chair, then turned it so I would have to actually look at him. "Thats better." He commented. "Now to answer your question, I have been better than ever. No obligations to my family, no rules, just living my life for me." He leaned back arms crossed, and said "How about you? I heard you left the family, and moved to Pennsylvania?" The bartender returned with our drinks, "Maryland, actually." He nodded, then shook his head, "Then why are you going back?"

I downed my drink again, I was about to wave another one down, but he stopped me. He looked me in the eye with such sadness and pity, "Is this what you became? Did I do this to you?"  He asked softly. Pissed, I just got up, dropped a hundred dollar bill on the bar and walked out. I only made a few feet out of the door, when I ran into a huge ass man. I mean he looks like Lebron James. "You okay, Miss?" he asked. I backed away.

I started to walk away, again. But I didnt, then I heard "Y/N, talk to me please." Lebron James' doppleganger said "This is Y/N" Kevin just nodded. I looked up and said "You two know each other?" Kevin smiled and grabbed Lebron hand, and said "Yes this is my husband." I looked at the couple, and tried to smile and be happy. But I couldnt. He was happy and I wasnt, it wasnt fair. I heard the door jingle, my eyes saw the different Michaels in small groups pretending to talk about something.

I, then, turned my attention back to this man, who was smiling, like he didnt make me feel like a waste of space. I clenched my fists, and took deep breaths but for the first time ever, they didnt work. I wasnt calming down, I was getting down right mad. I dont what came over to me, when I growled, "Yes, you did this to me." I kicked off my heels and walked towards him, "You and my fucking family did this to me." I kept walking towards him until his back hit the brick wall of the bar. I grabbed his collar so he can see my eyes, when I said. "You should be more of a lady and not wear sneakers..... You should straighten out the bush you call hair..... you shouldnt eat so much, your figure cant take too much more weight." I repeated the same insults he told me time and time again. I let him go and took a step back.

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA TO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR SELF WORTH IS AT THIS AGE?! DO YOU?! I MEAN HOW COULD YOU WHEN YOU SENT MINE DOWN THE TOILET, ON YOUR WEDDING VIA TEXT TO YOUR FUCKING BEST MAN." I started laughing uncontrollably, "THEN TO TOP IT ALL OFF, MY WHOLE FAMILY BLAMES ME! AND NOW YOU WANNA COME AROUND AND PLAY INNOCENT. YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THEY ARE, YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME THE TRUTH FROM THE START! YOU DIDNT HAVE TO LEAD ME ON!" I got close again and I punched in the his damn stomach.

"DID YOU KNOW WHILE YOU WERE FREE FROM OUR FAMILIES, I WASNT FREE FROM MY INSECURITIES ALL THOSE THINGS YOU SAID, YOU CALLED ME. THAT STUCK WITH ME." I took a deep breath. I lifted his face, "Those things will always stick with me. Thanks to you and our families, I will never be able to trust, love or believe another human being. You wanna know why?" He shook his head "Because my family. The people that gave me life, never loved me. My best, and what I believed my only true, friend lied to me for years, then left me alone. No words, not a note, nothing. That right there shows you my self worth."

I stood up and walked away leaving my heels where they were.  "Michaels can you hear me?" Thriller responded "Yeah." I sighed, give me 30 and meet me in my room, with pizza and gin. Lots of gin." I turned off my bluetooth and walked back to my room.

A/N

I know this one was really long but I wanted to get this done and out of the way. We still have 20 days until they go home. And oh boy what 20 days, that will be.
