Sometimes, all it takes is having one person in your corner, without any ulterior motives, that makes all the difference. That's what Melony and Michael were to each other. 

She was the best actress in the world, but never truly believed it. Kept in control by the people in her life for a long time, she eventually breaks free. But there are always consequences, and long-term effects. The things that get her through the hard times, are her new family, and her friends, the Jackson family. With one Jackson in particular being her best friend. Someone who understood the life, the pressures, and the stress of being controlled. Someone who was going to change the world one day.

This is the story of how one person can change your life, for the better.  

(Also disclaimer - I will sometimes give Melony other roles by other actresses, some I'll make up, but I want to be sure that I'm not trying to act like I own any of these other works, music or movie alike. Also the title is from 'Feeling Good' - Nina Simone)

You take over my mind.
I can't finish a thought.
My vision turns to blind.
And I can't connect the dots.
I'm helpless and I'm stuck.
On how it feels here next to you.
I do believe that this is dangerous.
But I can't stop it.
From the heat of your lips.
To the look in your eyes.
I just can't resist enough for me to find time.
I'm gonna turn off my phone.
I'm gonna turn off the lights.
I don't want a distraction from a distraction.
And I'm always thinking about it.
Whether it's wrong or right.
I just can't stop it.
