A/N: Okay I know I totally suck for not having this chapter up for so long but I have had literally so much going on. I didn't even end the story how I wanted, but it will do. I'd like to maybe do a sequel. Or possibly a new story with Michael and someone. Or a Sam and Jason story. I have lots of ideas floating around.
After Christmas, when the weather started to get warmer, Monroe felt like the months were flying right by. Before she knew it, it was Valentine's Day. Then again, before she knew it, it was finals, graduation, and summer break. Monroe was a little disappointed that Michael had recently decided he wasn't going to go to college; instead he wanted to work with his father. At first, they got into many, many fights about it. Over time, she slowly realized that she did not want to be without him, and if this was something he really wanted to do, then who was she to stop him was. She realized that having parents other than Jason and Sam probably would have made the outcome of her and Michael's relationship a lot different, but as faithfully as she saw her mom stand by Jason, she knew she was going to do the same for Michael.
The sun was blazing that hot July morning, as Monroe began to pack for her and Michael's random road trip. He had been busy working everyday and she had too, getting a job at Kelly's as well as the art studio, so they were happy to have a week off together, to spend time with just each other.
"Are you almost packed yet?" Michael said on his way up the stairs to Monroe's room. Jason, Sam, Carly, and Sonny realized how serious Michael and Monroe were about each other and were okay with them spending the night at each other's houses now. Especially since they were both working a lot and Sam knew what it was like to just want someone to sleep next to. Carly took the most convincing, but she had grown too really like Monroe, even if Sam wasn't one of her favorite people.
"Yeah, just have to throw these shoes in this bag" Monroe said from inside her closet.
"Babe, were going for five days. Why do you have 1…2…3…4…5 bags?" Michael said, staring in amazement.
"I don't know, I just need all this." She said, throwing the last bag onto her bed and zipping it closed.
"Alright but I think your shoes are going to weigh down my car and kill my gas mileage" Michael said jokingly.
"Shut up!" Monroe said, playfully smacking him. "Okay…let's go" Monroe said grabbing two bags as Michael grabbed the other three and they headed downstairs.
As they reached the main level of the penthouse, Sam and Jason met them at the door. "I'm going to miss you" Sam said, pulling Monroe into a hug.
"I'll miss you too mom" Monroe replied, as she let go and then gave Jason a hug.
"Call me when you get there" Sam said.
"I will. Love you mom, love you dad" She said, as Michael quickly hugged Sam and Jason goodbye and they headed out onto their adventure.
"So how long is going to take to get there?" Monroe asked, after they got into the car and had only driving for ten minutes.
"6 hours." Michael said and Monroe tried the best to hide her groan.
"We could always stop at a hotel half way, for a little relaxation" Michael said, giving her a wide grin.
"Yeah, because we have ever just relaxed in a hotel room" Monroe said smiling, which made Michael laugh as he remembered many of the nights they had spent in hotels over the past couple months, just to get away.
They sat in comfortable silence for the next hour or so as Monroe just watched the trees go by in her window. Michael's hand rested on her knee as she put her feet up on the dashboard and decided to plug in her ipod. She smiled at the first song that came on.
Please forgive me if I seem forward
But I've never been in front of anything like you
It's the last place I ever thought I'd be
When I woke up this morning
Is it true?
And that you're always this breathtaking
And your smart and you're willing
My God this is killing me
Tell me all the things you never said
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
You started to see right through me
And I'm loving every minute of it
It's like I'm born again
Every time I breath in so,
If you're curious,
My favorite color's blue
And I like to sing in the shower
If you like, I'll sing to you
Tell me all the things you never said
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
I don't have anything to hide
I don't have anything
Everything is not for certain
Tell me all of your hopes,
All of your dreams
I want you to take me there
Tell me all of your hopes,
all of your dreams
I want to take you there
Tell me everything
Every breath, I want you to know I'll be there
There's just one more thing,
One request
I want you to take me with you
Take me with you
I will never let you down
I will love you now and forever
The first time she had ever heard this song Michael was with her and he told her how much it reminded him of their relationship. It really was true, they really could she right through each other. Whenever she was upset and lying about it, he could read her like a book. Whenever he was angry or stressed and trying to hide it and fake a good mood, Monroe knew he was bullshitting. They told each other everything, and they spent a lot of time just laying down on the couch and talking to each other. Michael had been through a lot of things in his life, as being a Corinthos, and Monroe had also been through a lot of things as she basically raised herself. They were a perfect fit, the missing piece to each other's puzzle.
"I love you Michael, forever" Monroe said in all seriousness as the song had long ended.
"I love you to Monroe, forever." Michael replied simply, and they knew it was true.
The End
Thanks for all my reviews, I love them.
