All I Want is You

It was two days before Christmas and Michael Scofield was alone. He had gotten into a fight with Sara about a client he was working with and now he was miserable. Michael ended up down the hall and knocked on a door. The door opened and there stood Millicent.

" Michael," Millicent said," What are you doing here?"

" I need your help," Michael said," May I come in?"

" I guess," Millicent said," Even though I am going to meet Joey later."

Michael sat on the sofa and looked at her. Millicent Morgan was one of his best friends, if anyone would help him, he knew she would.

" What's your problem?" Millicent asked.

" You need to do me a favor and talk to Sara for me?" Michael told her.

Millicent shook her head.

" No," Millicent said," I won't do it."

Michael looked at her puzzled.

" Why not?" Michael asked," I thought you were my friend?"

Millicent got up.

" I am your friend," Millicent said," Which is why I am not going to get involved."

" Why?" Michael asked her.

" It's your love life," Millicent said," If you need to talk to Sara, go talk to her yourself. Don't get me involved."

Michael got up and shook his head.

" I'm sorry Michael," Millicent said," Do you understand?"

Michael headed towards the door.

" I'm sorry I asked you," Michael said," I just thought you would help me."

Michael opened the door and Millicent got up and stopped him.

" Are you mad at me?" Millicent asked," You shouldn't be. I don't know what to tell Sara. What happened anyway?"

" If you don't want to help me," Michael told her," Then you don't need to know."

Michael left and Millicent leaned up against the door.

" Is Michael taking me for granted?" Millicent thought," Is he going to give up on me because I won't talk to Sara?"

Millicent then heard the phone ring.

" Yes," Millicent said.

" Millicent," she heard," It's Sara."

" Oh great," Millicent thought.

" Millicent," Sara said again.

" Hi Sara," Millicent said," How are you?"

" Miserable," Sara said," Michael and I had a fight the other day and now I can't talk to him. I swear he's seeing someone else."

" Is that all?" Millicent asked," Michael is crazy about you."

" How do you know?" Sara asked.

" I just talked to him," Millicent answered," He wanted me to talk to you."

Sara didn't seem surprised.

" What did you tell Michael?" Sara asked.

" I told him that I wouldn't," Millicent answered," I am not getting involved in his love life."

Sara felt shocked.

" Sara," Millicent said," I told Michael that he needed to talk to you. If he has a problem, he needs to work it out."

" Thanks," Sara said," Do you think I should talk to him?"

" I think you need to decide that," Millicent said," Look I have to go meet Joey."

" I hear you talk about him," Sara said," You must be crazy about him."

" I am," Millicent said," As much as Michael is crazy about you."

Sara and Millicent said good-bye and hung up. Millicent then thought about what Michael said. She was his friend, but didn't want to get involved in something that was none of her business.

It was several hours later, Michael wanted to talk to Sara and decided that Millicent was right. He went to Sara's apartment and knocked on the door. The door opened and Sara looked at him.

" Michael," Sara said.

" Sara, we need to talk," Michael said," Please."

Sara let Michael come in and she shut the door.

" I miss you," Michael said," We need to discuss this misunderstanding."

Sara just sat down and looked at him.

" What?" Michael asked.

" I just talked to Millicent," Sara said.

" And?" Michael asked.

" You asked her to talk to me," Sara said," She told me what you told her. Are you upset with her because she didn't help you?"

Michael sat down.

" I am not mad at her," Michael said," I needed help, so I asked her."

" Michael," Sara said," You asked Millicent once before for help and she did."

" I know that," Michael said," Friends help one another."

Sara got up," There was a part of me that thought you were cheating on me with her," she said," ut I know you didn't. Millicent didn't help this time."

" She said that she didn't want to get involved in my love life," Michael said," Millicent was right. I just thought.."

" Your taking her for granted," Sara said," Do you trust her that much?"
