Til The End — The Back Story

The Meeting

Randy gave me a big smile and took my hand and led me to a seat. They offered me all kinds of things but I began to cry. Marlon came over next to me with a box of tissues, Jackie got me a glass of water and I slowly calmed down. Once I did Marlon and Jackie went into separate rooms and Randy wanted to know if I needed to freshen up. He led me to a palace of a powder room, and I calmed down and retouched my make-up. I took a couple of deep breaths and started back out to the main room.

Randy was there in all his sexiness, on the sofa were we sat earlier. The brothers were still gone. Randy began to talk to me he asked me what I was doing at the stadium and how I bet I’d never thought I would never meet any of them. I whispered “no I never thought I would but you seem very nice” I asked where the others went he said they all had company and that I was his company. Randy showed me around the suite, which had a balcony, a hot tub a wet bar a sauna and 4 bedrooms, and of course the area they turned into an arcade.

After the suite tour he came over and embraced me. I didn’t know what to think or do. I looked up at him and he was beautiful and he smelled good! I was taken aback by his muscles and that scared me so I backed away. “What’s wrong” He asked? I told him I’ve never been hugged by a man before and he finally asked me my age. “I’m 17” and he did a double take and stepped away from me. He told me he was in his 20’s and he thought I was at least 18 yrs. old.

I felt embarrassed but he was ok with it. He wanted to know what kinds of things I liked to do, then he ordered some Ice cream and we played video games for most of the evening. “Hey where do your parents think you are right now” I told him out walking with my best friend, he said “really they let you out this late looking like that?” “Looking like what?” I asked “Well, you look provocative” he stated “provocative? This was just simply one of my walking out outfits”. So he asked me if I were a virgin and I said yes,” why did you think something was gonna happen tonight?” He said “Well I was hoping but with you being so young that’s out. Anyway I like you though, so keep my number and give me yours and we’ll keep in touch” “I don’t have a number to give but you can have my address.”

4 years later

Funny how some things happen, but Randy, Marlon and I stayed in contact throughout the years. They would call me (since we finally got a phone) whenever they were able. I heard from one of them at least once a month, they would tell me about being on the road, their lives, their kids and they asked me a lot about what I was doing and school and stuff. I attended Duke Ellington School of The Arts High School and they always wanted to know about the curriculum and what music I was working on.

Marlon called me one day to tell me he was coming to the school for a tour. He didn’t tell me when or the date but I was happy to know he’d be in town. It had been so long since I had seen any of them- not since the Mayflower and they didn’t send pictures. Anyway, I wanted to see my friend again.

Randy also called around this time… what a big surprise! He told me he told Michael about me and that Michael wanted to call me sometime to say hello. I nearly died just hearing that! Michael, finally, finally! I loved the guys but Michael was the prize. He was currently on tour and I saw snippets on E.T. and M.T.V. I had all the records, The Jackson 5, The Jacksons, and of course Michael’s solo albums! Were my dreams coming true? Well, no I still hadn’t spoken to him yet.

I sent the brothers new pictures of me to Hayvenhurst. I had grown taller and a little thinner but I was still dressed like a wild child and I enjoyed showing off my body. I knew they wouldn’t be shocked about that. I looked wild but I still maintained my purity. Anyway sometime after I sent the pictures, I got a call from Michael.

When my mom answered it she said “One of your girlfriends is on the phone” so I ran to the phone thinking it was my girlfriend Jodi. “Hello” I said I was shocked to find another voice on the line that wasn’t Jodi’s saying “Hello, is this Mona umm… Mona Easton?” the soft voice asked. I held my breath sensing who it was and then I said “yes” “Hi, this is Michael Jackson.” The voice said, as I screamed inside! I knew it! “How are you?” silence… “My brothers told me about you and you sound like a nice girl” silence… “Umm I’m good” I stammered. “Well I thought I would give you a call to find out for myself” Michael said.
