What's Going On...

Michael broke out of Fox River and tried to contact Sara but she didn't want to get mixed up in the conspiracy so she didn't go with him. It's 1 year since the escape, Michael and Lincoln have been exonerated and are living in Panama. Sara is now living in Indiana.

Chapter 1

Michael

Michael sat a chair in his living room running his hand over the worn down newspaper clipping. It read in big letters: GOVENOR'S DAUGHTER TO WED.

"Michael?" he heard behind him "It's 2 in the morning what are you still doing up?" Lincoln asked coming up to him.

"Couldn't sleep." he stated plainly without taking his eyes off the clipping in his hands.

"You have to just forget about it man before you get anymore crazy than you already are."

"It's not that simple Linc."

"Sure it is. If she did it so can you." Lincoln replied making his way back to his bedroom "Get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning."

Maybe Linc was right, maybe he should move on.

"She looks happy." he said to himself referring to the picture of Sara and her fiancée on the cut out.

He walked over to the fireplace in front of him.

"Goodbye Sara," he said simply as he threw the clipping into the blazing fire and headed off to bed.

Michael woke up the next morning refreshed and ready to go. Today was the day he was finally put the past behind him and start living in the now.

"Good Morning," he said walking into the kitchen where Lincoln and LJ where eating breakfast.

"Good Morning," Lincoln replied a little confused at his brothers happy mood.

"What?" Michael asked noticing the look on Lincolns face as he poured his orange juice.

"Nothing, you're just unusually upbeat this morning. Lately all you've done is sulk around the house."

"Not anymore, from now on I'm going to take your advice and start moving on.

"Great! And I have just the way for you to do it." Lincoln said.

"Just what might that be?" Michael asked intrigued by his brothers' relationship advice.

"A date." Lincoln replied as a huge grin swept across his face.

"Um, okay." Michael said a little uneasy. "Who do you suggest?"

"That blonde chick at the sports store... um what's her name."

"Emily?"

"Yeah. What about her?" Lincoln asked.

"Linc I don't know.."

"Oh come on man, she's perfect. She's always flirting with you and she's hot. What more could you want?" Lincoln said pleading his case.

"Fine, I'll ask her out." Michael said ready to get Lincoln off his back. But he wasn't to sure he was ready.

Sara

Sara sat at the counter in her kitchen lost in thought. She was so out of it she didn't even notice someone else had come in.

"Sara...Sara..are you in there?" John asked waving his hand in front of her face.

"What? Oh I'm sorry I didn't even know you were here." Sara said a little embarrassed.

"I can see that. What were thinking about anyway?"

"Oh nothing, just some work stuff." Sara lied.

"Okay.. Well I just thought I'd stop by and see my beautiful fiancée before work." he said giving her a quick kiss "That...and my coffee maker is broken."

"So you admit it, you're only marrying me for my coffee." Sara joked.

"You caught me. I'm sorry I wish I could stay longer but I have to get down to the office."

"That's fine I have to go pretty soon too." Sara said turning back to her paper.

"Alright, see you later." John said as he made his way out the door.

Sara let out a deep sigh once he was gone and she was alone again. She hated lying to him but how she supposed to tell him that she was thinking about another man when they're supposed to be getting married?

It wasn't unusual for her to be thinking about him, but lately she couldn't help but notice it was becoming more and more frequent. Frustrated at herself for giving into her one weakness once again Sara collected her things and headed out the door.

"Michael Scofield is no longer a part of my life anymore and I just need to move on." she yelled to herself once again like she had done so many times before.
