It was almost 9pm. Rosabel and Michael had had a fantastic evening but now Michael noticed that Rosabel was starting to slowly drift off.
"You're tired, aren't you?" He said.
"Yeah." Rosabel mumbled.
Michael picked Rosabel up and lay her down on the bed.
"Aren't you gonna sleep in the bed?" Rosabel asked, as Michael tucked her in.
"No, you can have the whole bed. I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Michael, can you sing me a lullaby?"
"Sure."
He thought for a moment then started singing.

"All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me
One sweet night
I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend

When someone in the dark
Reaches out to you
And touches off a spark
That comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart
You can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm
When the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars
I knew, my friend
My someone in the dark was you

Promise me will always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand
Where dreams never end
My star secret frind and me

When someone in the dark
Reaches out to you
And touches off a spark
That comes shining through
It tells you never be afraid
Then somewhere in your heart
You can feel the glow
A light to keep you warm
When the night winds blow
Look for the rainbow in the sky
Oh I believe you and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me

Wherever you may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me"

By the time Michael had finished singing Someone In The Dark, Rosabel was fast asleep. He gave her a kiss and changed into his pajamas then grabbed a blanket and got comfortable on the sofa. Suddenly, Michael heard the drums of Billie Jean start playing. It was his phone. He rolled his eyes then quickly went to get it out of his coat pocket, before it had a chance to wake Rosabel.
"Hello?" He whispered.
"Michael, it's me, Janet."
"Hey Dunk."
"Is it true that you took a little girl out of an orphanage?"
"How did you know that? The media haven't been on it have they?"
"So it's true! And the media haven't found anything...yet."
"Janet, please keep it quiet."
"Why would you do that anyway?"
"The way she was being treated was unbelievable. They were treating here like an animal. Actually I don't even think animals get treated as bad."
"What happened?"
"They hid her away in the cellar so she couldn't meet me when I visited, and they beat her until she was unconcious. They were starving her too, it scares me how thin she is. If her friend hadn't told me about her, she probably would've died."
"Really? Oh my God."
"How did you find out anyway?"
"Bill told me when I called him."
"Janet, you really need to keep this quiet. If the media finds out they'll make it look bad. I'm sure of it."
"Hold on Mike, father wants to speak to you."
"Oh gosh." Michael muttered quietly.
"Hello? Michael?" Said the rough voice of Joe Jackson.
"Hello Joe." Michael said, trying not sound scared.
"What's this I hear about you adopting a little girl?"
"I didn't adopt her, father, I..."
"That's Joe to you."
"Sorry, Joe, but I didn't adopt her, I just took her to the hospital and now she's staying with me."
"Why would you do that?"
"She was being treated so badly, it was unbelievable. I had to do something."
"Michael, I want you to return that girl to her orphanage. You can't just run away with her."
"But if she goes back, she'll probably die. I can't let that happen to her."
"Michael, if you don't return her to the orphanage soon, I'll come down there and do it myself."
"What? Joe you can't."
"Then give her back to the orphanage."
"Alright, fine. I'll give her back."
"Good. And don't let me hear anything like this again."
Then Joe hung up.

Michael turned off his phone and put it back in his coat pocket then lay down on the sofa. Seeing Rosabel go back to such an awful place hurt him so much. A tear slid down Michael's cheek. He had no idea what to do. He didn't think Joe was joking when he said he'd come to England and take Rosabel back himself if he didn't. Michael thought of taking Rosabel to a better orphanage. He couldn't bear to watch her leave though, he had grown to love her so much. He was also sure that Rosabel was much happier with him. Suddenly, an idea hit Michael. He wouldn't give her back to the orphanage. He'd keep Rosabel with him but tell Joe that she was back at the orphanage. He wouldn't know, he was in Canada with the rest of the Jacksons. Michael glanced out of the window, then gasped and sat up. A shooting star just passed the London Eye.
"I wish I could find a way to keep Rosabel safe with me." Michael whispered.
He lay down again and soon fell asleep, just as the shooting star passed over the rest of London and faded into a twinkle in the night sky.
