Michael's POV

I didn't sleep last night and just lay thinking about all the thing's Leanne told me and I'm still trying to get my head around all of this. I had a feeling something was going on, but I never imagined it was something like this. I've been going to that brothel for over a year and I always thought Mary wad a really sweet woman, I've stood and had conversations with her many times and not once would I have imagines she'd force a 15 year old girl to work for her and even worst she did it mere hours after her parents died. Leanne's her neice and she's just a kid and needed taking care of and be loved, but instead she's spent months living with a woman she's terrified of and being forced to sleep with grown men.

I asked Leanne over and over if she wanted to be there and if she was sure and if she would have said no I would never have done anything with her and even if she had wanted to be there, she was only 15 years old and shouldn't even be thinking about sex or be anywhere near a place like that and I hate myself for putting her through that, because I did. I may not have known it at the time, but I'm still just as responsible for her pain and misery as Mary and those other men.

I'm sitting in the kitchen waiting for Leanne and eventually she comes downstairs. "I'm in here" I say softly, hearing her walking around looking for me and she walks in timidly.

"Did you sleep ok?" I ask softly and she nods. "About last night..."

"I made all up" she quickly cuts me off "no you didn't" I say softly and she nods. "I Did! We were arguing and I was upset. I didn't mean any of it"

"That's kind of a random thing to say to someone during and argument" I raise an eye brow "well I did. It's not true" she mumbles. "Yes it is" I say softly and she doesn't answer me. "Leanne, you have done nothing wrong" I say softly taking her hand and sit her beside me at the table.

"Please don't tell anybody what I said" she pleads "if Mary found out you knew then she'll know I told you she'll..." She pauses nervously.

"She'll what?" I ask "I um.. I should probably start getting ready to go" she mutters "I'm not taking you back there" I frown confused. "B- but you have to. You were told the rules. I have to be back by 10am" she says nervously. "I'm sorry, but I'm not taking you back to that place. We're gonna have some breakfast and then we're going to the police station and..."

"No! I'm not going to the police!" She panics. "Leanne, I'm not gonna send you back there and act like everythings ok because it's not. I know your scared, but I'm calling them and.."

"Then I'll lie" she cuts me off. "If you tell them, then i'll lie. I'll them you made it up an- and that you raped me and forced me here an- and..."

"So do it" I shrug and she looks at me confused. "Your not exactly lying. Your here because I paid your aunt to make you come here and I had sex with you when you didn't really want to and even if you did, your underage which is statuary. So if you wanna tell them I forced you here and I raped you that's fine, but I'm still gonna call them"

"So you'd be happy going to jail? Because you will"

"I wouldn't be happy about it, but if it stops you from having to go back to that place then so be it" I shrug and she doesn't say anything. "I know your scared, but I'm gonna be with you the whole time ok?" I say softly and she nods. "I'm sorry. For what I just said" she mumbles and I smile at her through pursed lips. "It's fine"

"I wasn't always scared of you" she mutters "answering the question I've been too scared to ask. "You wasn't?"

"No" she shakes her head. "You were always nice to me" she mumbles and I purse my lips trying not to cry. I'm relieved there were times she wasn't scared of me and genuinely wanted to be with me, but that doesn't change the fact there were times she was.

After getting dressed we're both sat eating breakfast and the whole time Leanne has barely said a word and as I'm looking at her. I see the scared and loss child Leanne really is and I can't believe I'd never noticed it before, because it's so obvious now.

"About what's happened between us" I begin and she looks up from her food. "You know we can't be that way with each other anymore right?" I tell her softly and she nods understandably, but also sad "are you gonna go back to seeing Emma again?"

"I think sex has gotten me in enough trouble" I smile at her through pursed lips and she doesn't say anything. "I'm not saying I don't wanna be with you anymore, because I do... trust me I do, but umm... that's more of a conversation we'll have to wait two years to have" I mutter.

After our breakfast we both sit silently for a moment and I can see Leanne getting nervous again. "We.. Um.. we should probably get going" I mutter and she nods. "Can I use your bathroom first?" she asks and I nod confused. "You don't have to ask to use the bathroom" I chuckle slightly and she does the same and makes her way upstairs while I look for my car keys.

"You nearly ready!?" I call up the stairs to Leanne, once I've found my keys. "Almost!" She shouts back and there's a knock at the door.

"Nows really not a good time" I sigh opening the door to Lisa. "I'm sorry to call at your house so early. But I didn't know where else to go and..."

"That's not my problem. Now if you don't mind, I'm really busy" I cut her off "Please? I have nowhere to go and I have no money and..."

"I really don't..." I pause hearing a noise from near the back door and quickly rush over and panic seeing the back door open and nobody around.

"No no no! This isn't happening!" I panic running around the house and Leanne isn't there.

"YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH!!!" I snap at Lisa who's now standing in my living room looking at me confused. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE!!"

"What are you talking about?" She frowns confused "all I did was ask you for help and..."

"And I told you I was busy! and I don't give a fuck!" I snap grabbing her arm and dragging her to the front door "Michael! Your hurting me. Why are you..."

"Just stay the fuck away from me!!" I scream shoving her out the door and slam it behind her.

Leanne's POV

"You were supposed to be back 30 minutes ago" Mary says sternly the second I walk through the door. "I- I'm really sorry. The driver didn't know where he was going and..."

"Michael was supossed to bring you back" she frowns confused. "He um.. he said he was busy and called me a cab and..."

"well you have a client booked in 20 minutes so you better get ready" she cuts me off and I nod and make my way upstairs. "One more thing" Mary cuts me off and I stop turning to face her. "Mia said you weren't at the party last night and you an Michael got out of the car shortly after you left here. Care to explain?"

"Um.. he took me straight to his house and he didn't wanna go to the party in the end" I lie "is that so?"

"Mhm... I guess he just wanted to get his money's worth since he paid for the whole night" I shrug. "We should probably up the price for that client, since You seem to be doing a great job at pleasing him" she chuckles. "Sounds good to me" I fake a smile and make my way upstairs and Emma is sitting on my bed waiting for me. "Where's Mia?" I ask confused "with a client. So how did everything go last night?"

"Fine" I shrug. "I heard Mia tell Mary you and him didn't go to the party and got out of the car as soon as you left"

"It wasn't as soon as we left. Mia's just exaggerating"

"So where did you go?"

"He took me to his house and he said he changed his mind about the party and we stayed there all night"

"Are you still seeing him?"

"No" I shake my head "I already told you I..."

"So it was strictly business? Just sex nothing else?" She cuts me off and I nod "So how come you look so nervous right now?" She asks skeptically "I thought Mary was gonna flip out at me for being late back"

"Well lucky for you she didn't. I've seen her beat the shit out of a girl for being late before now" she says in a serious tone. "I guess she gave me a pass because I'm her neice or something" I shrug. "Well don't make a habit of it. You may not be so lucky next time" she warns me and I nod nervously and one of the girls walks in. "You have a client waiting downstairs"

"On my way" I fake a smile and make my way downstairs.

Michael's POV

"Are you serious!?" Randy gasps when I tell him what happened last night. "And now she's probably back there and..."

"But why would she go back there if she knew your were gonna help her?" He frowns confused. "Because she's scared! And if I go over there Mary's gonna know she told me and who knows what she'll do to her" I say nervously. "An if I just walk into the police station and tell them then their gonna wanna know how I know and if I tell them I could get arrested because she's underage and..."

"Mike, calm down" he says calmly cutting me off. "How the fuck can I calm down!?"

"Well you need to try And your not gonna get arrested because you don't have to go into any detail with the police. You could call them up anonymously and that way Mary won't know it was you"

"But what if she finds out? Or they don't believe me? Or..."

"We'll worry about the what if's, if and when that time comes, but right now you need to calm down and make that call" he says calmly and I nod.

Leanne's POV

After the guy is done, quickly get dressed and make my way upstairs to take a shower, but I'm cut off by Mary.

"Downstairs... now" she frowns and I nod nervously following her into her office and a guy is stood waiting. "This is officer Charles" she says and smiles through pursed lips and I can tell by the look in her eyes she's seriously pissed and I nod, not speaking.

"We got an anonymous phone call claiming and underage girl has working here and is being forced daily to sleep with multiple men and apparently that girl is you?" He says calmly and I don't say anything "do you have any idea who that anonymous person could be?" Mary asks and I shake my head. "N- no. I don't know why somebody would say that, but it's not true" I lie "so You haven't said anything like that to anybody?" Mary asks and again I shake my head nervously "no" I say shakily. "Relax. I'm not here to arrested you" the officer chuckles slightly then turns to Mary. "Looks like I had a wasted journey" he shrugs "well I'm sure there's away my neice could make it up to You. I know how you like them young" she smiles and I look at her confused. "W-what do you mea..."

"Relax, he already knows" Mary says in a reassuring tone. "And don't worry your little secrets safe with me" he smiles "why don't you and the lovely officer go to one of the rooms and um... talk" Mary smile and I nod nervously as she opens the door for the two of us to leave her office and the officer follows close behind me.

Jermaine's POV

"This is stupid! Why don't you just let me go and..."

"Because if you flip out and she is still there, then your just gonna make I worst" Jermaine says. "I'll be fine. Plus it'll look weird if you go in and.. "

"I'll say your at work and asked me to stop by and asked me to book an apointment with her or something. Trust me. Just stay here and i'll go find out"

"Surely the police would have been by now. We called hours ago" Randy points out. "Well if they have then Leanne wouldn't be there and Mary won't be able to book Leanne for any appointments will she?" I point out. "Can you just hurry up and go there!?" I snap nervously and he nods and makes his way over to the brothel.

*
"What the fuck is taking him so long?" I say pacing around my living room getting impatient then Jermaine finally walks through the door.

"Well?" I ask the second he gets in. "You have an appointment to see Leanne on Wednesday at 2:30" he sighs heavily "she's still there?" I croak and he nods and I break down sobbing.

Lisa's POV

"Why are you doing this? I thought you hated me?" I frown confused. "I don't hate anybody. And I'm certainly not about to let someone be homeless and walk the streets like that" Mary says softly as she parks the car.

"I was only behind on my rent by a week and..."

"Well everythig's ok now. You've fallen on hard times and I'm happy to help any girl in need" she smiles sweetly as we walk into the house. "It'll just be for a few days that's all and i'll be out of you hair"

"You can stay here as long as you want" she smiles. "I'll show you to your room"

We go upstairs to one of the bedrooms and their's a girl sitting on one of the beds. "This is Mia. You'll be sharing with her. She'll go through the rules with you" Mary smiles and leaves the room.

*
There's no point telling me all your stupid rules because I'm not like you or any of the other sluts in this place. I'm just staying here because Mary is a friend and she's just offered me a place to stay for a few days" I frown at her.

"And you believe that? Why would you come here?" I hear a familiar voice and turn to see that little slut Leanne and her friend Emma from that night.

"It's true! I'm nothing like you I'm just staying here for a few days and that's it! I would never work in a place like this" I scrunch my face at her. "You don't have a choice. Once you walk in here, you do as your told not what you want" Leanne says and I chuckle slightly "Yeah yeah, whatever you say. I'm just staying here for a few days and then i'll be gone, so if you don't mind. I'd prefer if you little whores keep your distance during my stay. I don't wanna catch whatever diseases you skanks are riddled with" I scoff and go over to the dresser and start unpacking my things. "We're trying to help you. You can leave now while you still have the chance" Emma says. "Well you can help me by staying out of my face. How about that?" I smile sarcastically.
