Meanwhile, Ashley had just awaken at 7:00 a.m. in the morning. She knew it was going to be a sad dag because today was her father's funeral. Before heading downstairs, she turned on the TV in her room and watched the news on Michael's tour. "We are here today in the studio where Michael Jackson would've performed his concert" the anchorwoman said. "Would have?" Ashley zei puzzled. "We have news that Michael Jackson has canceled his concert for a very important appointment at about 10:00 a.m." the anchorwoman reported. "10:00 a.m. is the time of my Dad's burial. Guess he really can't come" Ashley zei with disappointment. Just then, Ashley's mother came rushing in Ashley's room. "Oh you're awake dear" Ashley's mother said. "Yes I am mom" Ashley replied. "Go downstairs and eat your breakfast. Then go take a bath and... just go get ready" Ashley's mother said. "Yes mom" Ashley replied. Ashley went downstairs and ate some breakfast. Then her mother gave her a news that almost got Ashley choking on her food. "Oh door the way sweetie, your friend Michael called. He zei he's gong to be at the funeral today" Ashley's mother said. "He's what now?!" Ashley zei shocked. So that's why he cancelled his concert. So he can come to the funeral. Oh my God the fans are going to kill me. "Mom is the number of Michael's phone there?" Ashley zei nervously. "Yes" Ashley's mother replied. Ashley ran to the phone and dialed the number. At the first ring, the phone was answered. And it was Michael. "Hello?" Michael asked. "Michael, why?" Ashley said. "Why what?" Michael replied confused. "Why would u annuleer your concert for my dad's funeral?" Ashley said. "Because... because" Michael zei unable to answer. "Because what?" Ashley asked. "Listen can I talk to u privately? I know your mom's there in the kitchen. I'll just call u in your phone in your room" Michael said. "Sure" Ashley said. Ashley ran to her room and found her phone ringing. "Okay Michael, I'm alone now speak" Ashley zei unable to control her patience anymore. "Because... because" Michael zei once again unable to say the words. "Because what Michael" Ashley said. Then suddenly, Michael couldn't control his feelings any longer. He had to tell her. Otherwise Jermaine will snatch her away from him. "Because I love u Ashley" Michael zei finally relieved. "You really mean that Michael?" Ashley zei with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Yes sweetheart. I don't say things that I don't mean. I love you, I care for you, You're the most important thing in my whole life" Michael zei passionately. "Oh Michael I love u too" Ashley replied with her hart-, hart pounding heavily. "Want me to pick u up?" Michael asked. "Sure" Ashley replied as she hung up the phone and got ready.
