A/n: I’ve noticed many people who write and read princess diaries fics are fans pf Rooney and yet I don’t remember anyone ever doing very many songfics to one of their songs, so here is my take on ‘If It Were Up To Me’. This takes place some time after the 3rd book but is also an AU because there’s no Kenny and this is my take on them getting together. Also the song belongs to Rooney and the Characters belong to Meg Cabot. Enjoy! Read and Review!

If It Were Up To Me

I’m finally going to do it. Yes I, Michael Moscovitz, am finally after two years of being hopelessly in love am going to tell Mia I like, no make that love her. The problem is, figuring out just how to do that. And I had no idea, that is until when I was listening to a cd and the perfect song came on. I know it sounds cheesy, but she seemed pretty impressed the last time I sang her a song so maybe it will work this time too. I also hate to admit but I actually had to ask my dear sister Lilly to help. Sadly this also meant revealing my musical talents to my sister, which I had been trying to keep a low profile of. But that’s okay, because I’m willing to do just about anything for Mia, even if it means getting my heart crushed. This just may be so, even though after voicing this Lilly begged to differ. And so, Lilly is having Mia come over for the day on Saturday. This is today in fact. She’ll be here any minute. And there she is. I can hear her and Lilly out in the hall talking. So I’ll just go and pick up my guitar and start playing the opening of the song. This is my signal to Lilly that I’m ready. She is going to send Mia over complaining about the noise I’m making and have her see what is going on. She doesn't have the answer yet

The answer yet

I'm breathing down her neck

Maybe I should give her time

If it were up to me “Hey Michael.” Mia said popping her head into my room. As I look up she has a slight blush spread across her cheeks. I smile as I continue the song.

She would know that

She'll be the one

When I'm dead

Will use my bed

And she'll spend her life

Thinking of us and making a fuss Mia tilts her head to the side recognizing the song. Leave it to Mia to be a Rooney fan too.

If it were up to me

She would know that our love (our love)

Is the best love (best love)

If it were up to me

Yes, our love (our love)

Is real love

So just let it be I’m looking right at her now. Not taking my eyes off of her. God is she amazing. In fact, she is beyond amazing. She’s perfect.

I want you to know

I've done our charts and it says

That we work as one

Like the Jackson Five

And the Temptations

I think she is finally catching on. That’s good. Lets just hope she feels the same way.

If it were up to me

She would know that our love (our love)

Is the best love (best love)

If it were up to me

Yes, our love (our love)

Is real love

So just let it be Oh no, her eyes are welling up. It looks like she is about to cry. What have I done?

Well, your mother likes my smile

And your father likes my lifestyle

Should I ask them what I asked you

To get the answer?

Yes, to get the answer? She hates me. She most likely finds me disgusting. I mean really, I’m her best friend’s older geeky brother and I‘m trying to hit on her.

It's easy (easy) (x3)

Oh, it's easy Okay, let’s try and think positive, before my voice starts to crack.

Your mother likes my smile

And your father, he likes my lifestyle

Should I ask them what I asked you

To get the answer?

Yes, to get the answer? She’s leaning against the doorframe for support. And tears are streaming down her face.

'Cause our love (our love)

Is the best love (best love)

If it were up to me

Yes, our love (our love)

Oh, it's real love

So just let it be It looks like she’s about to run away. This is what I get. Why did Lilly have to talk me into this? I’m putting all the blame on her. Yep that’s right. It’s all Lilly’s fault. I would never have gone through this without her encouragement.

It's easy (easy) (x2)

Oh, it's easy And there she goes. I sit down my guitar quickly and run after her. She runs to the bathroom and I notice her journal that’s always with her is in her hand. She locks the door as she gets into the bathroom. I run into the door from running after her. “Mia, come on. Come out.” I said. “We can forget all about this. I’ll act like nothing ever happened, just please quite crying and come out.” She makes no signs of moving. Great, I really did it this time. I might as well just spill my guts. “Come on Mia, I hate it when you cry. Please come out. Please.” I said becoming a bit desperate. I feel terrible. I’m a terrible person. “Please Mia, please. I know you must be repulsed by me, but it’s true. I think, I know, I... Mia, I think I love you.” I paused. “But if you don’t feel the same way, we can forget all of this. I promise I’ll never bring it up again.” thankfully my parents aren’t home. Just then I hear the door unlock and Mia is standing in front of me. “I do feel that way.” She says as she wipes tears from her eyes. “Okay,” I say. “I’ll uh...” “I feel the same as you do Michael. I think I’m in love with you too.” Mia says looking at me a smile spreading across her face. “You do? That’s great!” I said feeling happier the ever. I then did the only thing I could think of. I leaned down, although since Mia is almost as tall as I am so I didn’t lean far. I closed the space between us and I kiss her. I was barely aware of Lilly’s clapping and her say “it’s about time.” I just smiled as we kissed. If it were up to me

She would know that our love (our love)

Is the best love (best love)

If it were up to me

Yes, our love (our love)

Is real love

So just let it be
