Chapter 6~Neverland
Selena steps out of the shower. Then dries off wrapping a towel around her torso. She could see her wound where she was shot. Her skin was tough. Like her.
She wipes the fog off the mirror. To get a better look. See if it healed up. She was not going to be ready to show skin wear outfits she used to wear. Everyone would see her wound. Her scaring.
Her scar was the last thing in the world she wanted to talk about if she chose to go back to the stage. She would go back one day. She loved singing with her whole heart. She had since she was a young girl. But just not yet.
She was just not ready yet. Her hands go to her right-hand side. The pain sometimes came at random moments. She would have to sit and rest. Her doctor gave her pain medication, but she tried not to become depend on the pills.
Today was going to be an exciting day. She was going to meet one of her all-time idols of all. Michael Jackson. He was a tad older than her. But he knew the music business better then she could ever hope to know.
They both had so much in common. Singing at a young age. Growing fame. She could not wait to talk to him. If she had the chance. Her siblings were sure to take up most of his time today. She knew AB was dying to collab on a song with Michael.

"Selena, are you alright dear?" Chris sweetly asks as he peaks in the bathroom on her.
"I am gathering thoughts. I will be. I am excited is all" she laughs.
"I have your outfit hanging up and ready. Everyone is waiting for you" he tells her. He plants a sweet kiss on her lips before heading out of the bathroom.
"Thank you, Chris," she gratefully tells him.
She gets around. Getting dressed. Towel dries her long hair. Then blows it dry. Her natural curls cascade down her backside. She clips on her signature hoop earrings in her ears.
She places on her engagement ring that Chris gave her. She loved that ring. She puts on makeup. Sure, she was engaged but was it wrong to want to look good for Michael? She wanted to impress him. She glides ruby red Mac lipstick on her lips.
"I can't believe I am meeting my idol" Selena breaths out. "I can do this" she pep talks herself. He was a singer just like her. Another human in the race of life.
She heads out in the room. Chris had the tv on. Watching MTV. His eyes dart to her.
♥☆♥
"Wow, baby you look fantastic" he praises her.
He walks to her side getting up from the bed. He pulls her in his arms. She beams a happy smile up at him. At least when they were with family he was not drinking. When they were home, he would start again. He knew that her father would not stand for that if he drank on this trip.
"Thanks. I am so nervous" she giggles.
He holds her. "Why? He should be nervous to meet the Tex Mex queen" jokes Chris.
He plants a kiss on her check.
"Chris you sweet talker" she laughs.
"Are you ready? We need to get to Neverland" Suzette orders as she pounds on the door suddenly.
She sounded super excited. As was Selena and Chris.
"You will be fine. Michael will fall in love with you like everyone does" Chris promises her.
That made her have more butterflies. Imagine Michael in love with her music? Her sound? Michael?
Chris lets Suzette come in the room. Her family rushes in.
"Look at you girl wow" brags Suzette.
"You like it? Or should I change?" worries Selena.
"No, we don't have time. We need to go the taxicab is on it's way" orders AB who looked worried they would be late.
"We have plenty of time son" sighs her dad. "You look great Selena" her dad tells her.
"Thanks guys" says Selena. She grabs her purse so they could head out.
She follows her family out of the bedroom. Chris locks up their room. Chris holds her hand as they walk down the halls. When they get outside there was not a taxi cab waiting for them.
But a limo!
♥☆♥
"Selena?" asks a limo driver.
"I am she" Selena nods as she looks confused.
"Mr. Jackson has sent this for you" he tells her. "and your family"
"Wow!" exclaims Suzette.
"Come on sis let's go" says AB happily.
They all head into the limo. It was one as nice as she had taken during the Grammys'. She felt underdressed.
"Maybe, I should change" worries Selena.
Suzette stops her. "Girl I swear you are fine with what you have on" she laughs. "Chill"
"Sorry I am over thinking. And over nervous" jokes Selena.
"Your in the big time now. You will be fine. You worked for this Selena" her father reminds her with a nod. Then a smile. He always had a way to calm her down.
"Thanks Dad" she answers.
They drive. They enjoy a drink and Chris goes to grab a beer. He stops.
"Sorry force of habit Sel" he tells her as he winces. He grabs a soda.
He looked handsome today. His curly hair was long but pulled out of his face. He had shaved for her today to.
He smelled so good. She loved snuggling up to him. She was proud to be with Chris. She wished he would shapen up for her. But she feared her would never grow up. Not be the man she knew he could be.
♥☆♥
"What something on my face Sel?" he asks her.
His brown eyes twinkle.
"No" she laughs. She smiles.
When they first dated they had to hide it. Tell the world she was single in order for her men fans not to be upset with her.
That was hard on her as well as Chris. Now her family had worked things out with them. And she hoped Chris would not blow things. Not blow what they worked so hard for.
Soon they arrive there at Neverland. They pull up to the black gates that read Neverland. She rolled down her window. She wanted to look at everything. It was time.
To meet the King of Pop.
They are lead down the long drive way. Loads of land. Ranch indeed. She wanted to own land like this one day in her future. Have loads of animals. When they look you could see an amusement park. Right in the front of the grounds. Selena gasped as did the others.
"Look at that!" calls out Suzette. She points out the window.
A ferris wheel right there in the front yard.
So, this was what dreams were made of??
