Micheal's POV

It's the day of Maria's funeral and I'm downstairs making some breakfast and Randy comes over.

"Is Leanne getting ready?" He asks and I shake my head. "She's still sleeping"

"How she doing?"

"Quiet. She didn't really say much yesturday either"

"Has it come yet?" I ask changing the topic and he looks and me confused. "The results?" I say in a hushed tone. "Not yet" he says in the same tone. "We already know what the answer is anyway" he shrugs "Not for sure, I don't"

"Yes we do. Why would Leanne's grandma randomly lie about something like that and only ask that Leanne sees it after she died?"

"Maybe she was confused or delusional. Some old people get like that especially at her age and..."

"Or maybe your the one deluding yourself" he cuts me off. "Maybe you should just give her the letter and...."

"Until those results come back, I'm not giving her shit" I cut him off. "And when they do? Because you will have to tell her"

"Not if it comes back a match and her and Mary are blood related. Because if their a match then that means their blood related and Ryan and Anna really are her parents and Maria was just crazy"

"Mike, why don't you just stop trying to deny and just... WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR CAT!!?" He gasps, when buggy walks into the kitchen and starts eating his food. "He got attacked by dog the other day" I explain. "He's ok now though"

"Poor thing" he sighs as Bugsy finishes eating then walks back out again. "Something else happened that day too" I mumble and he looks at me confused and I tell him about Lisa turning up at the house.

"How did she know where you were?" He asks worried "she followed me and..."

"And you let her!!!?" He snaps and starts panicking and pacing around the room. "Oh my god! She knows! I'm gonna go to jail! I can't go to jail. Look at me! I'm too pretty to go to jail! Do you know what they'll do to me in the showers and..."

"Just calm down. Your not gonna go to jail. And I didn't let her follow me. I was just as shocked to see her there" I cut him off from his rambling. "Calm down!? Mike, there's a dead body in that house and the neighbours saw you!"

"No... She saw Lisa. Nobody saw me or Mary and..."

"But they saw her and they know her name and Lisa would have found Mary by now and..."

"She told the woman her name not mine and the basement door is padlocked and me and Leanne are the only one's with the key so Lisa wouldn't have found her"

"How can you be so sure?" He asks she nervous and hell. "Because if she had then don't you think the police would have been here before now? Trust me she doesn't know"

"But she said her last name was Jackson. It won't be that hard for the police to figure it out and why is she still using your last name anyway? Your divorced"

"I have no idea why she keeps calling herself Jackson and it doesn't matter anyway because if the police did find Mary that doesn't link any of us, including Leanne to what happened to Mary. Lisa knew Mary too remeber?"

"Does Leanne know about this?" He asks and I nod. "And how did she take it?"

"She said the same thing I'm telling you. Nobody saw me and there's no proof I knew anything about it and there's not even any proof Leanne did it" I say calmly and he doesn't say anything for a moment.

"But what if they find her? We can't leave her their much longer" he says nervously. "Joesph said he'll help us figure away to get her out of there, but right now I just need to concerntrate on today ok?" I say calmly and he nods. "What time is the funeral at anyway?"

"11, but you guys don't have to come you know"

"I know, but we want to. I know we didn't know Maria, but we're going there to support you and Leanne" he smiles at me through pursed lips and I smile back the same way.

Leanne's POV

I wake up to Bugsy meowing softly and nudging his nose on my face. "Hey, Cutsi" I smile at him through pursed lips then turn and see Micheal is gone.

I pick Bugsi up and carry him downstairs to look for Micheal and he's in the kitchen with Randy. "Morning" Micheal smiles at me through pursed lips an I smile back at him the same way. "Did we wake you?" Randy asks and I shake my head. "Bugsy did" I mumble "how are you feeling?" Micheal asks "I'm fine" I mutter "I made you some breakfast" Micheal says placing a plate of food on the table.

"I'm not hungry" I mutter. "You didn't eat anything yesturday. You have to eat something. It's not good for you. Especially while your pregnant"

"I'm fine really. I'm gonna go take a shower and get ready" I mutter and turn to leave and Micheal takes my hand, stopping. "Please eat something first" he says in a worried tone and I nod and go and sit down at the table.

I don't eat all of the food, but manage to force myself to eat just enough to stop Micheal from worrying then head upstairs to take a shower, but I'm cut off when the door knocks

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Janet asks softly, giving me a hug "I'm fine.. I'm just gonna go get ready" I mutter and head upstairs to start getting ready.

Everybody keeps asking me how I'm feeling and I keep telling them I'm fine, but the truth is. I don't really know how to feel right now. I haven't just lost my grandmother, I've lost so much more than that. In two years, I've lost everything I once had. My parents, my life, my school, my friends. Everything and now I'm burying the last family member I have. My parents, my grandma even Mary... their all gone. My whole bloodline is gone. It's just me no more family and no more of the life I once had. It's all been taken away from me and when people keep asking me how I'm feeling, I can't explain it to them because they don't understand. They understand what it's like to lose a family member, but they don't understand what it's like to lose your entire bloodline and the life you once had and I pray that nobody else ever has to understand how I'm feeling because I wouldn't wish this on anybody.

Lisa's POV

I'm in the café with Mia and I tell her about what happened with Micheal the other day.
"That doesn't surprise me" she shrugs. "All men are dogs. You should know that by now"

"Micheal's not" I frown. "He never cheated when he was with me"

"That you know of" she shrugs. "You don't know Micheal like I do"

"I know he liked to fuck every girl in the brothel. Until he decided Leanne was his favourite anyway"

"She wasn't his favourite. He just felt sorry for her is all and still does"

"She always was good at playing the poor little victim card. She'd always cry like a little baby when we were was at the brothel just so she could get all the attention. It was cute for the first day or so and I believed it myself, but after awhile it got soo boring listening to her whiny little voice, crying over everything like some poor little child" she rolls her eyes. "Which is how she got Micheal to feel sorry for her and she's far from a poor little child"

"Not now she has your ex. Isn't his family loaded?"

"And so was her family. You know her parents left her 2 million dollars and a house in their will"

"What!!?" She gasps "mhm. And she probably hasn't even spent a penny of it. I know my Michael and I know he'll be the one buying everything for her. He's always been to kind for his own good. That's how that bitch manipulated him in the first place"

"Your Micheal? Last time I checked he was fucking Leanne and according to you he has another girl too" she chuckles slightly under her breath. "That's because he doesn't love her and..."

"Who cares?" She rolls her eyes. "Why are you still obsessing over the guy anyway? He clearly isn't into you anymore"

"Micheal loves me" I frown. "Then why is Leanne the one living with him and your not?" She raises and eyebrow. "I told you why? Because he feels bad and.."

"For what? Like you said she has lots of money and a house. It's not like she's sleeping on the streets. What does he have to feel guilty for?" She shrugs "because like you said. She's good at making people feel bad for her. Plus wasn't she like 15 when they first slept together?"

"Yeah so?"

"So? If he upsets her she could go to the police about it and he'd get arrested because she was and still is a minor. Maybe that's why"

"Leanne wouldn't do that. She's a whiny little brat but she's not a snitch"

"But Micheal is obviously worried she would"

"Well then he'd be worrying about nothing because even if she did tell the police which she won't. Mary lied an told Micheal that Leanne was 18 and wanted to work at the brothel and Leanne confirmed that when he asked her and even she he did know there's no proof anything happened between them"

"Apart from the baby she's carrying" I shrug "she pregnant!?" She widens her eyes and I nod "wow! I saw her at the trial, but I just thought she'd just got really fat!"

"Probably isn't even Micheal's though"

"Will you quit going on about Micheal. Your not gonna get him back so you may as well find another rich guy to take care of you and your kid" she rolls her eyes. "I will get Micheal back! I just need to get rid of her first" I frown. "An how are you gonna that? You tried that once before remeber?"

"We could always go to that house Micheal went to the other day" I suggest "for what? An who's we?"

"Micheal obviously isn't going to leave Leanne because he's worried what she'll do and he feels sorry for her, but if we can prove Micheal is cheating on Leanne then she'll break up with him then he won't have to worry about her anymore"

"That's just stupid and how are you going to get proof and even if you do. Leanne won't trust us or meet us anywhere after last time"

"We can post it anonymously" I shrug "c'Mon let's go" I say getting up from the table. "Me? This is your thing not mine. Why should I care about your dog of and ex cheating or not?" She shrugs. "Because it's not like you have anything better to do than walk the streets trading sex for drugs and a place to stay for the night" I scoff getting pissed off with her attitude. "I don't tell you how to live your life so don't tell me how to live mine" she frowns "just come with me" I roll my eyes. "Fine whatever" she sighs rolling her eyes and finally gets up.

Micheal's POV

"Thank you so much for all your help. You did a beautiful job" I smile and Nikki one of the nurses from the nursing home who arranged the funeral for us.

"It was the least I could do to help. Maria was more than just a resistant. She was a good friend to all of us. Even on her last days she was still more interested in wanted us to be happy. She was always more concerend with helping others before herself. Alot like her granddaughter from what Maria told us. She couldn't believe it when she saw her again" she smiles through pursed lips and I smile back the same way.

"Did she talk about Leanne alot?" Randy asks, cutting in. "All the time. She adored her. She was always showing us photos and telling us stories about her when she was little" she smiles. "True stories?"

"Randy!" I frown and Nikki looks at him confused. "I just mean that sometimes old people get confused and stuff about the truth. Was Maria ever like that?"

"Don't you wanna go away. Like over there with Janet and the others?" I frown "I was just asking a question" he shrugs. "Maria's memory and mental state were absaloustly fine if that's what you mean?" Nikki answers him, still confused by the question. "I'm sorry about him. Will you excuse us for a second" I smile at her through pursed lips and pul Randy away.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" I snap in a hushed tone so I don't make a scene. "What? Your the one that keeps saying Maria could have just said those things because she was old and could have been confused and stuff. She saw her everyday and would know" he points in Nikki's direction. "And she said Maria wasn't crazy or confused. So obviously she was telling the truth about..."

"I'm not going through this again. Especially not here" I cut him off. "But..."

"But nothing! Untill those DNA results come back then it doesn't matter what Nikki or anybody else said so we don't need to talk about it untill then" I cut him off again.

After speaking with Randy, I walk back over to my family. "Where's Leanne?" I frown confused when I notice she's not with them anymore. "She's over there" Janet points and I see her sitting on the grass alone by the grave. "She said she wanted to be left alone to say goodbye" she says softly and I nod.

I continue talking with Janet and the others for about 10 minutes then go over to get Leanne. I respect her wanting to be alone to say goodbye, but it's getting really cold and starting to rain a little.

"Hi" I say softly and sit beside her. "It was really thoughtful off Nikki to bury her ashes with my mom and dad" she smiles slightly, still staring at the grave. "They'd all really like that that their all together again. The flowers are really nice too"

"Yeah. Today was really beautiful" I smile at her through pursed lips. "We should get them something to say thank you. Or maybe something for the nursing home that they need?"

"Sure. We can do both if you like. But we should probably be leaving soon. It's starting to rain" I say softly, not wanting to rush her and she nods. "I'll have to come back when it's sunny again" she nods and I help her up of the ground.

On the car ride home, Leanne doesn't say anything and she hasn't really said much the last few days. Just little things here and there, but I kind of expected this because she never talks much when she's upset and I was the same when my grandmother passed away and didn't want to talk much either.

After dropping us back at our, the rest of my family leave. "I'm really tierd" Leanne mutters when the others leave. "I'm pretty tierd myself" I say softly and we both go upstairs to take a nap.

Lisa's POV

"Damn this place in nice! This chick must be loaded to live in a place like this" Mia says, standing in the front garden while looking around. "Probably" I shrug, knocking on the door again and again getting no reply. "What exactly are you gonna say to this woman anyway?" Mia asks. "I don't know yet, but I just need something" I say trying to look through the Windows to see if anybody's home. "Who closes all their blinds during the day?" I frown, not being able to see inside.

"Maybe She's upstairs fucking Micheal again" she chuckles. "Then i'll have even more proof when I get a picture of the two of them together. Leanne will leave my Micheal alone then for sure" I smile and make my way round the back I the house.

"Doesn't mean he'll get with you again. Maybe he keep fucking this chick" she shrugs, following behind me. "Will you just quit with the negativity all ready?" I roll my eyes and start trying to look through the other Windows but just like at the front, all the blinds are closed.

"I'm not being negative. I'm just bored standing outside. Plus it's starting to rain"

"It's just water" I roll my eyes and I'm about to knock on the back door, but see it's unlocked.

"Looks like the stupid whore forgot to lock her door" I smirk and go in side and Mia follows me.

"Hello!!!?" Mia shouts. "Will you be quiet!" I snap in a hushed tone. "Whatever. Nobody's here anyway. So now what?" She shrugs. "We can look around and try and find something of Michael's or pictures or something of the two of them. Any kind of proof he's cheating"

"This house is amazing! There's a really weird smell to it though" she scrunches her face as we walk into the hallway. "Yeah, I noticed that last time I was here too. Seems kinda stronger though now" I scrunch my face. "Anyway. You look down here. I'll check upstairs" I say changing the subject and make my way upstairs.

"Lisa!" Mia shouts as I get to the top of the stairs. "Have you found something already?" I ask going into the living room. "Michael's not cheating on Leanne. This I her house" she rolls her eyes showing me the photo above the fireplace. "There's photo's of her and her parents all over the place. How could you not have noticed" she chuckles. "But that doesn't make sense. why would he becoming here to see her if they live together?" I frown confused, looking at the photo's.

"He probably just came to pick some of her stuff up or something" she shrugs looking at some ornaments.

"Whatever. We'll just have to find another way to.."

"Nope" she cuts me off before I can finish. "No offense Lisa, but this is getting really boring now. Me and you are cool and all, but I'm not gonna keep wasting my time trying to break them up. I don't give a fuck about Leanne or Micheal anyway"

"But he's my Micheal and..."

"Then you deal with it. But I'm not helping no more. I got nothing to gain or lose from any off this" she shrugs and picks up a large ornament and starts walking out of the room. "What are you doing with that?" I frown confused. "What? It looks like it could be worth alot. Leanne and her family are clearly loaded so they woudn't buy cheap shit and put it around the house would they?" she shrugs. "You can't just steal it and..."

"Why not? You broke in here and Leanne stole your husband. I may as well get something out of this" she shrugs "that's true" I agree and look around and quickly grab a large ornament and we both head for the front door. "We better hurry up then incase her or Micheal come back then. I say as we leave through the front door, making sure to close it behind us.

Micheal's POV

"Ahhhh!!! FUCK!!!" I yelp, jumping up and holding the side of my face and Bugsy is on my pillow making a high pitched cry and runs towards the door. "What the fuck!?" I say confused why he would scratch me while I'm sleeping, since he's never been agressive before.

I rub my eyes sleepily and turn and see Leanne isn't lay next to me anymore.

"Ahhh!!!" I yelp again as Bugsy runs back and bites me then runs back to the door. "What the hell has gotten into you?" I say confused and he continues his high pitched cry and running away then coming back to check I'm still behind him.

I go into the kitchen and Leanne is by the stove with her back to me and Bugsy runs over and scratches her leg.

"Bugsy! Stop it!" I say going over. "Are you ok?" I ask Leanne and she doesn't answer me and I walk a little closer. "Leanne? Are you....OH SHIT!!" I gasp grabbing her arm off the stove. "What the hell are you doing!?"

"Huh?" She says blankly then looks down at her arm confused. "C'Mon we need to get you to the hostpital" I say, taking her other arm, leading her out of the room.

"We can't... the fires out there" she mutters as I'm unlocking the door. "What are you talk.." I begin and Leanne suddenly goes really pale and passes out, but I manage to catch her before she hits the ground and quickly call 911.
