Author's Note: Oh Wow! I haven't updated in a long time! I had my musical at school and then I had to worry about finals, but that's all over now! Its summer break! Woo! Well this story is almost over! This is going to be the last chapter, but I'm probably maybe going to do a sequel if I get some more feedback. Enjoy!


Rose Garden

Chapter 20: Confessions

Amanda's POV

1998

"Hey," I heard through the darkness of my room at Neverland.

I sat up in my bed and stared at Michael's figure, who sat down on the edge of the mattress. Today had been exhausting and I really didn't know if I wanted to be here. It was like living in the past. I met Michael's kids today and they're wonderful and don't wish them away from him, but being here is like I never left.

I heard Michael sigh, "Are you alright?"

"I don't know Michael. You bring me here after all these years. You caused my husband to divorce me. What do you want from me?"

"I want a second chance. I never meant for you to have to get a divorce. Ever since I got that letter from you all I've been able to think about is what our lives would have been like together. It made me realize that I've missed you so much," Michael said quietly.

"I've missed you too," was all I could manage.

"Why?"

"Why what, Michael? You're going to ask why I left you right? I've told you a million times and I don't want to say it anymore," I said.

"I just loved you so much and I was certain that I was going to marry you. You let me down Amanda," he said.

"Well, you let me down too. You were going to go off on tour without me. What do you think I would've have done for a year and half without you? Huh?"

"I was going to plan our wedding."

"Well maybe I wanted to help plan my wedding!" By now I was standing and Michael got up and stood in front of me.

"I'm sorry," he whispered.

I saw a tear run down his cheek; I wiped it away for him. I hadn't realized that I had hurt him so bad. I thought that after all these years he would have forgotten about a normal boring girl he met in her mom's flower shop.

"I'm the one who should be sorry," I say.

"I love you," he says after kissing me softly.

"I love you too Michael," I say.

We kiss, more forcefully this time and I know in that moment that we are better together rather than apart.

THE END


Author's Note: Well, that's the end! Sorry it was kind of short. What do you guys think? Sequel?
