Part 1: Only In My Mind
Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Jag.
Author's Note: I'm not sure what exactly is going on with me lately, but I'm going through a Reba faze. I am suddenly in love with all of her songs. I just can't get enough of them. Now before you worry that this is going to be a song fic let me ease your mind, it won't be. I do, however, use some lines out of her songs in here, just because I think they fit well with the story. And of course if you read this, please, please, please review it. I know it doesn't always happen because truthfully, I don't always review, but I would really like it. Anyhow, let's get on with the story!
Setting: Sometime in the sixth season, after Mic has moved to the states. To those of you who know me you know that I can't write a Mic and Mac fanfic, it just sounds weird to me. HM all the way!!
"He said have you ever cheated on me
I said only in my mind"
Mac walked into her apartment throwing her cover and her coat onto the chair as she quickly made her way into her bedroom. She didn't even know that anyone else was there until she came back out. On the couch, not making a noise, sat Mic. She had never seen him quite like this. He was sitting with his feet flat on the ground, leaning forward, with a picture frame in his hands. The picture wasn't one of him and Mac, but one of Mac and Harm. Mac wasn't sure if he was going to throw the picture at her, or if he was going to break down crying.
She silently went over to him. Taking the picture frame out of his hands and placing it back on her end table where it had been since she'd developed it. She wasn't sure exactly what to say to him, but she knew he wouldn't stay silent for long.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes still not revealing what he was feeling. He asked, "Do you really love me Sarah?"
She didn't know what to say. She didn't even know the truth herself. Did she love him? Is she in love with him? Is there a difference? Well of course there's a difference, but she didn't know if she was in love with him.
Apparently she waited too long to answer because Mic looked away shaking his head. "Sarah, how can I marry you when you don't even know if you love me?"
"You didn't even give me a chance to answer." She said looking down, deciding now was the perfect time to inspect her socks.
"You don't have to answer, you already have. Look at your face in this picture. Then try to tell me that you love me more than him." He handed her the picture.
She took it from him and inspected it. It was a picture of her and Harm outside of the JAG headquarters. She could remember the day perfectly. It was the first warm day in the spring. She and Harm had decided to eat outside that day, enjoying the warmth as much as they could. That was the day that Bud had gotten his new camera. He insisted that he didn't have a picture of them and begged them incessantly until they finally gave in. Harm stood behind her and put his arms around her waist. She placed her hands over his and leant back reveling the feeling of being in his arms. On her face was the biggest smile she'd ever given. Harm also gave his patented flyboy grin. It was honestly her favorite picture that she'd ever seen of both of them. She could even now remember how happy she felt to be with him then.
She looked back at Mic and knew she couldn't tell him that she was really in love with him, but she really didn't want to hurt him. "Mic I… I do love you but…" She just couldn't finish it.
"But you love him more." He finished for her. He got up from his place on the couch. He gave her a sad smile and walked over to her. She wasn't sure what to expect, but he simply gave her a small kiss on the cheek and walked to the door. "I just want you to be happy Sarah. I hope he will do what I couldn't."
He walked out of her apartment, leaving her alone with only her thoughts. He left her life for good.
A/N: Sorry it was so short. I just want to get to the good part! Hope you like it so far.
