Author's Note: Hey people! This is a new MJ fanfic that I have been wanting to add for a few days now. I got the idea when I was listening to the song Rose Garden by Nick Jonas and the Adminstation, its a really good song btw! Go on youtube or something and listen to the song, you'll understand the story better and its a good song!

Rose Garden

Preface

Michael Jackson sat down on his tour bus looking through his mail when a very familiar name stuck out at him. He turned the letter over and carefully ripped it open, a picture fell out into his lap. He picked up the picture, it was was of him and that beautiful girl he met in San Diego some eleven years ago.

He took out the perfectly folded letter and began to read it:

August 29, 1998

Dear Michael,

Wow! I can't believe I actually got the guts to finally write to you. Happy 40th Birthday! You turning 40 makes me feel old because I'm not too far behind. Congradulations, I heard you have two kids now, but who knows if that's really true(learned it from a tabloid). I know you always hated those guys and you made me come to hate them too when we were together. I don't want to sound like a child but I really wish you would at least talk to me, maybe we could be friends. If you've actually gotten this far in the letter, I wanted to tell you something that I haven't had the guts to say in nearly nine years, I am truly sorry for what I did to you. I was scared and I didn't want to commit yet, I felt like I still had more life to live, you know. I hope you can at least understand that and try to forgive. I remember us like it was yesterday, our relationship stands out more vividly on my mind then anything else that's happened to me, even getting married. Yeah, I finally commited and got married. He's wonderful and you would like him, but he's no you that's for sure. I'm writing this to prove to myself that I can talk to and about you without falling in love with you all over again, guess what, I'm failing miserably. I keep seeing your smile that you flashed the first time we met, the best smile I've ever seen.

I wish you the best in all you do. You don't have to write me back, but I would love to hear from you. I miss you.

Love,
Amanda Boyce(Mandy)

Michael's eyes were filled with tears as he too remember their relationship in vivid detail and how he had hated Mandy for running away from him. He also noticed Mandy's new last name, he smiled thinking how on Earth did she finally decide to commit without running away. He didn't blame her for being cautious because her mother was hurt so badly, but he still didn't think too much about her when they were done.

Michael got out a pen and paper and started to the very woman that he swore he would never talk to again.

Amanda opened the mailbox and grabbed the mail and went inside. She sat down and looked at the fisrt letter, she quickly ripped it open and began reading it:

Dear Mandy,

I got your letter, thank for your best wishes and the happy birthday. I feel old too! I wanted to say that I forgive you and I too and failing at not falling in love with you all over. I'm so happy you finally commited and got married, I'm sure he's a good man! Please don't write me back, but my phone number is below. Please, call me when your ready. I can't wait to hear your voice again.

I wish the best to you too and I miss you as well.

Love you more,
Michael Jackson(Mike, ha!)
456-7896

Amanda read the letter over and over. She would call Michael, but just not yet she wasn't ready. She smiled at the thought of him and regreted leaving him.

She put the letter in a safe place and realized leaving him was the worst thing she's ever done with her life.
