Summary:

 

award winner

The centre of Michael's world crumples when Diane Hargrove discovers that her four year old child has been molested. Exhausted from the Bad Tour and the emotional highs and lows of dealing with his favourite little girl's complicated medical history, Michael finds everyone pointing the finger at him; accusing him of the unthinkable. With the weight of the world upon his shoulders, he struggles through grief and depression and the stress of being the someone that the world perceives him to be.

Scared of being alone, Michael enlists the company of number one fan, Malania Nakamura, who he feels like could just be the only other person on earth who understands his wounded heart. 

What will the future hold for Michael's freedom and for Malania's own troubled state of mind?

"The blond, groomed host smiled her thin, villainous lips at the camera and tucked her hair behind her ear. “Well, who knows,” she spoke to her aging side-kick, “maybe this is all just a publicity stunt for Jackson to seem a little more… digestible in public.”"

....so Malania is all over the media, how long until someone from her treatment centre will find out? 

49. Chapter 48 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarhalf-star (3953 words)

I cant remember if this chapter has any triggers, but just please be aware. Also thank you for all your kind reviews. I love to read them and value each one of them even if I don't immediately have the time to reply.

50. Chapter 49 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (4508 words)

This is the hidden adventure of Michael and Malania hanging out in the "trauma tree" -- the tree formerly known as The Giving Tree.

meeting the family! will Katherine like Malania? My guess is, no one has ever been good enough for her son! hahaha. As usual thoughts and reviews are welcomed. 
I have written so many chapters of this story before I started posting here -- but I'm up to my last few. I'm just finished chapter 56, so.... please keep reading and be patient with me. Tossing up a lot on my plate. :) 

53. Chapter 52 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 1] starstarstarstarstar (3944 words)

When I didn’t answer, he raised his voice, “Well? Do you? Does the idea of going to jail appeal to you?”

“NO!” I shouted, finally. The idea, quite frankly made my pulse quicken and made my throat close up and the breathing that I was trying to do became very difficult. 

Ruh-roh! What silly thing has Michael done! This chapter is one full of emotion and anger. I'm kind of excited to see what everyone thinks :) Thanks in advance for your reviews & ratings! <3 

56. Chapter 55 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (4666 words)

I think there are some triggers in these next few chapters, so if you are easily triggered by abuse, sexual or other, please refrain from reading this chapter. 

57. Chapter 56 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (4414 words)

If you are easily triggered by drug abuse or physical abuse both sexual or other, please skip this chapter. 

58. Chapter 57 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (4327 words)

59. Chapter 58 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (4174 words)

I accidentally posted this the other day...oops! Anyway, here is chapter 58 -- enjoy.

60. Chapter 59 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (4595 words)

I have to let you know -- some of the chapters may be a bit slower to come out in the future. I have just taken on new work hours that begin monday and I am still trying to finish school and have a social life, etc. Please be patient and feel free to leave me some suggestions because I am fast running out of ideas :)

 

61. Chapter 60 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (4339 words)

62. Chapter 61 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (3755 words)

Okay folks, I'm BACK from my hiatus. Things will be er... heating up, between these two over the next few chapters :) Enjoy and please leave me some feedback :) 

63. Chapter 62 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarstar (4105 words)

As some of you know this story went to somewhat of a hiatus due to home life being up in the air with my mums ill-health. I think I need to start channelling my stress in to my writing or else Ill end up the size of a house with all of my stress eating, lol. So I'm back.... I think. I really want to spend the time to finish this story... and then Ill focus on finishing STT. 

Thanks for being so patient and for the emails and kindness I've received while I've been "away" ...so please enjoy this chapter. I just sat here and re-read it and it gave me a silly grin... good lord I miss Michael. 

64. Chapter 63 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 4] starstarstarstarstar (4188 words)

Here's the next chapter, folks! Hope you all managed to get over the fact that Malania ate chicken at the restaurant. Hahahahahaha. <3

65. Chapter 64 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (5078 words)

66. Chapter 65 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (8116 words)

67. Chapter 66 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarstar (4083 words)

Round two. Bow chicka wowowwww. 

Joking, this is not a porn. I repeat, this is not a porn.

68. Chapter 67 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 5] starstarstarstarstar (5448 words)

What happens when you don't wear a protection!? 

Whoopsie doodle! 

69. Chapter 68 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (3062 words)

I want to apologise for leaving this story hanging. There have been a lot of things going on in my life over the past 12 months and especially in the past 6 months that left me unable or unwilling to write. 

If you read my "blog" style posts you'll have known what was going on in my life and at times its really hard to be able to focus on anything that isn't my family and what we're going through. Getting through day-to-day is hard enough. 

In saying all that, I wanted to post something for the anniversary, so I wrote this chapter and maybe it'll fuel a need to continue on. Hope you all enjoy.... 

70. Chapter 69 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (4591 words)

Okay so I think I posted this, but with all the MJfiction mess ups that happened while we were transferring the site, I think the actual chapter disappeared -- so here it is again and I apologise for those of you who have already read it -- I'll have another one posted over the next few days. 

 

71. Chapter 70 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (4462 words)

Life is weird. I wrote this chapter some time ago, excuse me if its a little rough. Speaking of, life has been somewhat rough. I still log in here a couple times a week but with new stuff at work, dealing with losing my Mum and associated baggage and anxiety, I am struggling to focus on the upkeep of this site as its not the giant priority that it was over the past few years. I apologise for that.... anyway, please enjoy this chapter. I have half written another one, maybe i'll get it up soon. It's my hope that I can finish this at some point in the not-too-distant future. 

72. Chapter 71 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 3] starstarstarstarstar (2109 words)

Wowee, it has been a long ass minute since I've added anything to this story. 

Honestly, life has been one giant adjustment since my Mums passing back two years ago and I couldn't do half of the things that I was doing before she passed. I lost my love and passion for most of the things I enjoyed including this....I replaced them with new things, escapsisms (I seriously read over 60 books last yr) etc. But now Im here again, picking back up, feeling ready to do some things I used to enjoy without them having memories attached. 

Sooooooo here's 71 -- I kinda stopped just when my story was developing nicely. If any of my old readers are still reading, thanks for holding on and to you new guys, thanks for reading :)

73. Chapter 72 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 1] starstarstarstarstar (3412 words)

I have another chapter.... I know, I know, crazy. Two chapters within 12 months! Whats going on! lol

 

74. Chapter 73 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 2] starstarstarstarstar (3858 words)

I have got my computer up and going again -- I have dusted off the files... after going throuhg 9038402934 files trying to find the most recently updated one. I have written a new chapter and I hope to finally finish this. 

Soooooo.... enjoy, leave a comment or something. Hope you like this chapter. 

75. Chapter 74 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 1] starstarstarstarstar (4085 words)

Hey guys, this is the day of reckoning for Diane. Finally a few bits of the puzzle will be put in to place! 

76. Chapter 76 by SkyWriter [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (3924 words)

Hey guys, please let me know what you think of this chapter? I am wondering if this is going OK. I am hoping to wrap this story up soon. xxx
