Lisa's POV

I'm lying down on my bed and there's a light tap on the door. "Go... away" I groan, still in immence pain. "We just thought you could do with these" Mia says handing me some pain killers and a glass of water. "Thanks" I mumble, taking them from her. "Are you feeling any better?" She asks softly and I nod "a little" she's about to speak when Emma cuts her off. "See, she's fine. Told you she would be" she shrugs. "Don't you have any sympathy for people?" I frown confused. "Look, we said sorry and gave you something for the pain, what more do you want?" She says in a defensive tone and turns to leave, but Mary walks in.

"I need you girls to go and find Leanne and bring her back here"

"But, I thought she belonged to Michael now?" Mia frowns confused. "She did, but now she's gone missing, she's anybody's. Now I need you both to go out and look for her and bring her to me"

"Now?" Emma cuts in "if she really IS missing" Mary looks at me skeptically then turns back to Emma and Mia "then we need to try and find her before Michael and his family gets to her"

"But it's pouring down and Michael has probably already found her by now and..."

"Did I ask you for a fucking weather forecast!?" She snaps making us all jump slightly. "Now get out there and start looking" she frowns and they nod leaving the room and I go to follow, but Mary stops me. "Not you. Your on lockdown and not leaving this building until I say so"

"But I had nothing to do with any of this, I swear"

"And you expect me to believe you?" She chuckles sarcastically. "Then why did you send Mia and Emma out to look for Leanne, if you think the whole thing was just a setup?" I ask confused an she shrugs. "Because if you are telling the truth then that means Leanne is wondering around alone somewhere and if she is then the girls will find her and bring her back... also because I'm bored and feel like sending the two of them out in the storm" she shrugs and leaves closing the door behind her and I hear her lock it.

Joesph's POV

"He's still not picking up" LaToya sighs, putting her phone back in her pocket. "Maybe we should call the police" Kathrine suggests. "We can't call them remember?" Janet points out. "If we do then Michael could get in alot of trouble and..."

"But he's been out there hours!"

"And who's fault is that?" I frown cutting in. "Why is everybody blaming me for all of this? I never told her run away" she says defensively. "Because your the one that wanted to send her away and put her in care!"

"For her own good. She's 16 and been through alot of traumer and they are qualified to help her with that kind of stuff and.. "

"Help her how? She doesn't need sending away to some random strangers. She needs to be in a stable inviroment where she feels safe and she had that here and she had Michael taking care of her"

"Are you serious!?" She widens her eyes at me. "Michael has been sleeping with the girl. He hasn't been taking care of her. He was just a customer who bought her and who knows what else has been going on when their alone"

"They've slept together once since she went to live with him and Leanne even told me herself that Michael has never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. Why are you being so hard on him?" Janet cuts in. "How do you expect me to be like after all the disgusting things I've just found out?" My son's have been out sleeping with filthy prostitutes and has a been sleeping with a teenager and God knows what else he's been up to" she scrunches her face. "Leanne's not a prostitute. She didn't have a choice in any of that and yes Michael was wrong for going there, but he was being told that Leanne was there willingly and 18 and as soon as he found out the truth, he stopped going there an got Leanne out of that place" Janet frowns. "And that makes it all ok?" She say raising an eyebrow her. "No, but you standing there judging him and trying to make him feel bad isn't either. He already feels bad enough about what he did. You only have to look at him to see that and Michael went through hell after Lisa and you saw how depressed he was and now he's finally found somebody that makes him happy and loves him and..."

"She doesn't love him. She's clearly scared of him. men like Michael are the reason girls like Leanne are forced into places like that and..."

"Is that what she told you?" Janet raises an eyebrow "well no but..."

"Because it's not true" she cuts her off. "If you'd bothered to speak to her then you'd know that Leanne does love Michael and she's been crying for Michael the whole time he's been gone and worrying that he won't want her anymore" She snaps at her and Kathrine doesn't say anything for a moment.

"Well if she loved him that much then why would she just run away without speaking to him?" She shrugs still refusing to admit she's wrong. "Because she clearly heard what you said and thinks he doesn't want her anymore" I cut in "I know it's not the best situation and what's happened is wrong on so many levels, but right now. Leanne is missing and Michael's out there in a storm, refusing to come back until he finds. Everything else can't wait"

Mia's POV

"I'm freezing! I can't believe Mary sent us out in this" Emma complains as we continue walking around in the rain. "Where are we even supposed to be looking?" I shrug. "I have no idea. She's probably not even out here. She's probably gone home by now. That's if she even ran away in th first place" she says holding herself for some kind of warmth. "Why would Leanne run away like that? She had the perfect life away from that place"

"Rub it in why don't you" I mumble "this isn't about you" she rolls her eyes and I don't say anything.

We've been out walking these streets for an hour now and I'm really starting to get pissed off with all of this. I do feel bad if Leanne really is missing, but apart of me doesn't and is actually glad she's missing. Since the second Mary brought her to the brothel, Leanne always got treated better than everybody and at the end she got to be free and have her happy ever after with Michael, just like I should have got with Jason. The two of us were in love and would have had a child together if it wasn't for Mary and the others and it's not fair. She got everything she ever wanted and still it wasn't enough for her and now I'm out here in the middle of the night having to search for her.

"Wait!" Emma says taking my arm. "I think that's her" she says pointing over and I see Leanne sitting alone at the bus shelter.

Leanne's POV

I've wondering around, not having any other options on where to go and the rain starts getting heavier so I go over to the but shelter so I can rest and get out of the rain.

I truly thought that Michael meant it, when he said he loved me, but from what I heard his mom and dad talking about, they all clearly want me gone. As hurt as I am that Michael doesn't want me around anymore, I can't be mad at him. He's done so much for me and I knew deep down he only did those things because he felt guilty for being apart of what happened to me, but he has no reason to. He's done more than enough to help me and now he's ready to move on with his life and I don't blame him for not wanting me around as a constant reminder.

"Leanne?" I hear a familiar voice "what are you doing here?" I turn confused.

****
Michael's POV

I've been walking around for over two hours and I still haven't found Leanne. I've been over and over in my head where she could have possibly gone and I've checked everywhere, but it's like she's just vanished and the more I'm walking trying to find her the more my mind keeps imagining all kinds of horrible things that could be happening to her right now and I'm not there to help her.

I continue walking for awhile longer, then walk over to a bus shelter and sit down for a moment and as soon as I get there, I break down crying. I've been yelling and blaming everybody else for what's happened, but the truth is, their not to blame for any of this. I am because I promised Leanne I'd always be there and protect her and I didn't. Instead I went off to rehab and left her, knowing she still needed me and now she's gone and what's worst is that she probably thinks I don't want her around anymore. I love Leanne more than I've ever loved anybody and it's killing me to think that I may never see her again.

My phone starts ringing and I wipe my tears away and shakily take a deep breath trying to compose myself.

Leanne's POV

"Here's a towel and some clean clothes"

"Thanks" I mumble an make my way to the bathroom. Just as I'm about to walk upstairs, the front door opens and Michael comes charging towards me and pulls me in tighly.

"Oh thank god your safe" he sighs in relief "I've been looking everywhere for you. I thought I was never gonna see you again" he croaks and starts kissing all over my face. "I- I thought you didn't want me anymore?" I mumble confused. "Of course I do! I love you more than anything. Why would you think that I didn't?" he looks at me confused.

"Why don't you guys get dried up and i'll give you guys some space to talk" Randy smiles through purse lips and walks off into the living room.

Emma's POV

"Well?" Mary says the second we walk in. "I'm sorry" I mumble. "We looked everywhere"

"So Lisa was lying?" She frowns pissed off. "She could have ran away, but gone back home once the rain started" Mia suggest. "Or maybe Lisa is a lying little cunt!" She snaps and we don't say anything. "Go clean yourselves up and go to bed" Mary sighs annoyed with us and we nod, doing as we're told.

As much as I was terrified of how Mary would react if we came back without Leanne. When I saw Leanne alone at the bus stop I was tempted to go over and make sure she was ok, just like Mia was, but i'm glad we didn't because after watching for a few minutes we saw one of Michael's brothers show up and she got in the car and drove of with him. I have no idea why Leanne ran away, but michael seemed genuinely scared for her and even though we were a distance away I could see Leanne was really upset too and I really hope their both ok now.
