Los Angeles, 1981. Michael Jackson is twenty-three years old and standing at the edge of everything he has ever wanted. After years of sharing his career, image, and identity with his family, he is finally ready to start building a life of his own. With a new team by his side, Michael begins making quiet but powerful moves toward independence while working on the album that will eventually become *Thriller*. Charlotte Walker is twenty-one, a bright young law student from Georgia who has already earned her place in rooms where people rarely expect to see someone like her. Sharp, poised, and determined to make her mark in the entertainment industry, Charlotte spends the summer after her first year of law school interning under John Branca, helping with the behind-the-scenes work surrounding Michael's career. To Michael, "Walker" is just a name Branca keeps mentioning. Until the day he finally meets her. Beautiful, confident, and carrying the kind of Southern charm that fills the room, Charlotte is not what Michael expected. She does not fall apart or swoon in front of him. She shakes his hand, calls him "Mr. Jackson," and keeps her emotions carefully tucked beneath a polished smile. And somehow, that is what makes him want to know more. What begins as a quiet first meeting inside a law firm slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. As Michael prepares for the next era of his career and Charlotte works to build one of her own, their connection grows in the spaces between ambition, restraint, vulnerability, and the pressure of being seen. This fanfic is a fictionalized romance inspired by real people, real events, and the early 1980s entertainment industry. It is also inspired in part by the timeline reflected in the *Michael* movie, with creative liberties taken for storytelling purposes.

ʎɐʍ∀ o⅁ "Cold hearted girl, don't hurt me like this anymore. I'm waitin' right outside your door sayin', "Baby, can we talk?" - Weezer In 1983 at Hawkins, Indiana, Jackie Jimenez was just a average 17 year old girl doing what she should be doing hanging out with her friends and wants to escape that hell hole of a town when she graduate highschool but soon school will be the least of her problems on the 6th of November. "Stupid boy, you keep on beggin' but I won't let you in, you keep on cryin' but you know what you did. I'll never let you back in." - Best Coast

Lauren Harrington has never known what it's like to be below others, and she plans on keeping it that way. She's popular, rich, and a Harrington, the last name that practically hands everything over to you. In her mind, every adult in Hawkins loves her, every girl wants to be her, every guy wants to be with her. She had all she could want, other than two things. Though, those two things soon became three. What started off as just craving attention from her parents, became craving attention from them and her half-brother Steve. That was until she had to get a job at the Starcourt Mall. She worked in JCPenney, though you wouldn't believe it, as she was more commonly seen at Scoops Ahoy, where Steve worked with his co-worker, Robin. Robin. Robin Buckley. Her third thing. Though, Robin is a girl. Not just any girl, a band geek, sarcastic, a smartass, rambly. If dating girls ever was normal, dating Robin as Lauren was not. Despite the fact Lauren would do anything for the things she wants, she wouldn't drop her crown, get a fingerprint on her polished first-place trophy. Lauren now has to charm Robin, "make" her like a girl (as if she didn't already), date her, and do it all without anyone knowing, without creasing her perfectly ironed dress.
