It Is Meant to Be {MJ Fanfiction}

I Know

Michael's POV

Janet comes over. As soon as I see her, I say,

"Tell me what happened years ago. I need to know the truth. "

Janet looks at me surprised and hopeful, but then says,

"I can't. Sierra doesn't want you to know. "

I grab Janet by the shoulders and say sternly,

"Janet! Right now, I don't care what Sierra wants. I know what she needs. "

Janet asks quietly, "What does she need? "

I say, with confidence in myself,

"Me. "

Janet smiles and says,

"Ok...I'll tell you. "

Janet explains what Sierra told her years ago.

"I've thought about this all the time. My theory is that someone paid Steve to kiss Sierra when you arrived. Who? I don't know. Why? I think so you could take Lisa. But why? I don't know. "

"Who would go through all this trouble just to get Lisa and I together? "

Janet hesitates, but then says,

"Who was pushing Lisa in your life at the beginning? "

"Joseph... No way. I mean, why? What does he get out of this? "

Janet shrugs her shoulders. Then I tell her about the mysterious phone call. Janet says,

"So, whoever made that call, might be the person behind all of this? "

I nod and say, "Probably. But right now, I need to go get Sierra. "

Janet says, "Wait! Sierra's with Daniel. She seems happy with him. "

I protest, "But you said he wasn't her soulmate. "

Janet sighs and says, "I know.... But you still need to end it with Lisa. "

I take a deep breath and say, "I will... I just hate having to do it. "

Janet smirks evily and says, "I'll be happy to do it. "

I quickly say, "No. No. I can do it. You just don't say anything to anyone. Got it? "

Janet nods and hugs me. She whispers,

"I can't wait until you two are together. "

I smile. She kisses my cheek and leaves.

Now, how should I break up with Lisa? She obviously has some secrets. Maybe I should trick her into telling me?

No. That's evil. I'm not evil. She's not going on tour with me so I should get Sierra back first.

Yeah. She's more important right now. But, I have to act normal in front of her. Especially since Daniel will be around. He seems like a cool guy, but he has my girl.

A just sprung in my mind. I smile to myself. This is perfect.

Middle of Concert - Wembley 1988

I catch my breath as I prepare to sing I Just Can't Stop Loving You.

The crowd doesn't know Sierra is here. The spotlight comes on.

"Each Time The Wind Blows
I Hear Your Voice So
I Call Your Name . . .
Whispers At Morning
Our Love Is Dawning
Heaven's Glad You Came . . . "

I take the mic off of the stand. I continue to move to the beat.

"You Know How I Feel
This Thing Can't Go Wrong
I'm So Proud To Say
I Love You
Your Love's Got Me High
I Long To Get By
This Time Is Forever
Love Is The Answer. . . "

"I hear your voice now..."

As Sierra emerges from the dark side if the stage, the crowd goes crazy. They knew she sang on the album, they just weren't expecting her to be on tour with me. I was hoping for the reaction.
"I Can't Live My Life
Without You... "

"I just can't hold on. "

"I feel we belong. "

"My Life Ain't Worth Living
If I Can't Be With You! "

We both sing, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You I Just Can't Stop Loving You And If I Stop . . .
Then Tell Me Just What Will I Do! "

I sing, " 'Cause I just can't stop loving you... "

Sierra's POV

Michael sings, "At Night When The Stars Shine I Pray In You I'll Find A Love So True . . . "

I sing, "When morning awakes me, " I turn Michael towards me, "Will You Come And Take Me
I'll Wait For You... "

Our bodies were so close to each other. I have never been so lustful over him before. The way Michael moved his body, the way his hand traveled down my thigh. I almost lost it. We never rehearsed that!

I need to focus! We continue to sing the song. Michael keeps glancing at me and winking or biting his lip. Once the song is over and the beat slowly starts to fade away, Michael pulls me close to him. While the spotlight is still on us, he kisses me.

The crowd goes crazy! I can't help but kiss him back. The light slowly dims and goes out. We drop the mics.

Michael moves his hand down to my lower back. I run my hands through his hair. He presses his body against mine. I swear, we would've went all the way right there on stage, but then one of Michael's dancers taps Michael's shoulder and says,

"Michael! We have to finish the show! "

We stop kissing. Michael smiles and says,

"Right...the show must go on. "

He kisses my cheek. I walk off stage. Daniel is smiling at me. He says,

"You did great! I didn't know y'all rehearsed that kiss at the end. The crowd loved it. What took you so long after the spotlight went out? "

He didn't see what happened. What does this mean? Why would Michael do that? I need to answer.

"I was embracing the crowd's energy. You know I haven't been on stage for a while. "

Daniel nods and says, "True. So, you want to watch the rest of the show from here or from your dressing room? "

I want to disappear.

"Um, from my dressing room. "
