Michael's POV

It's the day of the party and i'm really nervous about seeing Leanne again. I haven't spoken to her since she freaked out the other day. I tried to text her, but she never replied and I'm really hoping she still comes. Jermaine and Randy keep telling me to let it go and to get another girl to take to the party, but I can't. We only dated for like a week and I'm still not even sure if we broke up or not. If that's the case then i'll except it and respect her decision, but I still need answers from her. Not just why she doesn't want to be with me, but why she freaked out and acted the way she did. And a whole bunch of other stuff. I know I sound paranoid, but something doesn't feel right. Maybe Jermaine and Randy are right and she was just upset and if that is the case then i'll leave her alone, but I need Leanne to tell be face to face what (If anything) is going on before I can let it go.

Leanne's POV

"Your still not packed?" Mia sighs walking into the room. "Why do I need to pack. We're only going for one night?" I shrug. "Well you can't where that to the party and you need clothes for tomorrow. Have you even showered yet?"

"Not yet"

"What's the matter with you!? Are you trying to get yourself in trouble?"

"Of course not"

"Then hurry up and get ready we leave in two hours" she rolls her eyes and leaves me to get ready.

I haven't seen or spoken to Michael since what happened and I'm really nervous about seeing him again because I know he's going try and talk to me about it and I still have no idea what to say to him. I do miss Michael and our late night texts, but Emma's right. It's best I end things now before things go any further. I don't want to do this, but I know if I stayed with him I'd just end up getting by heart broken. Mia's even said countless times that people like us never get a happy ending and she's right. I need to quit thinking about the past and deal with the fact that this is my life now and nothing's ever going to change.

Michael's POV

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Randy asks for the millionth time and I sigh rolling my eyes "yes! How many times are you gonna ask me that!?" I snap getting irritated. "And what am I supposed to say to the other girl when she asks? Because she will"

"Tell her to mind her own buisness. I booked to spend the night with Leanne and that's what I'm doing" I shrug. "You don't think she'll get suspicious when we separate the two off them?"

"Do you and I ever have sex with the girls together?" I say sarcastically "No!" He scrunched his face at the idea "there you go then. So how is it suspicious"

"Because we paid for the girls to come to the party with us. Duh!"

"Then tell her we'll be there later. Duh!" I frown and park the car outside the brothel. "Now remember don't say...:"

"Anything and stick what I said. Yeah yeah" he rolls his eyes and we go inside. And Mary is standing at the desk and smiles when she sees us.

"The girls will be down in just a moment" she smiles sweetly at us. "Is it definitely Leanne that's gonna be with me?" I ask "that is who you paid for wasn't it?" She frowns confused and I nod "mhm... I was just making sure" I smile at her through pursed lips and she nods and turns to Randy "and you'll be with Mia. Is that ok?"

"Whoever's fine by me. I ain't fussy like him" he shrugs making her giggle slightly.

Mia's POV

"Are you done yet?" I ask going into the bedroom and Leanne is still doing her hair. "Almost" she mumbles. "Well the men are downstairs and..."

"Their here already?" She cuts me off nervously. "It's 6pm you knew they were coming at that time" I point and she doesn't say anything "your not still upset about what happened with Michael the other day are you? What ever he did couldn't have been that bad. Sometimes the men get a little rough that's all you know that" I shrug and she shakes her head. "I'm fine. It's just my first time spending the night with a client is all" she fakes a smile and I smile sympatheticly at her and put my arm around her. "Why didn't you just say that?" I smile slightly and she doesn't answer and looks at the ground nervously. "I was the same my first whole night with a client too, but trust me. You'll be fine. Mary keeps their address and has a rule that they have to bring you back by 10am. I know it's scary, but you'll be fine. Plus it's one of your regular clients so at least that's something" I smile reassuringly and she nods and fakes a smile.

I'm about to speak when there's a knock on the door and Emma walks in. "The clients are here"

"We were just on our way down" I nod and she turns her attention to Leanne "Are you going to be ok?" She asks softly "Mhm" Leanne nods "if there's any problems text my ok?" She says an Leanne just nods. "But, I'm going to be with her all night so why should she need to..."

"Wasn't talking to you" Emma cuts me off with her usual attitude as she's leaving the room. "How can you be friends with her?" I frown shaking my head. "I we better go down stairs" she sighs ignoring my question and gets up leaving the room.

When we go down stairs I notice Leanne becoming more nervous. "Relax. I'm going to be with you remember?" I reassure her and she nods. We get to the desk and Mary and our clients are stood waiting for us and Leanne remains silent the whole time Mary is reminding the men about the rules and I look confused notices Michael keeps looking nervously at Leanne, but I don't say anything.

Once we're in the car we're all sat in the back and I hear Michael whisper to Leanne. "Thank you for still coming tonight"

"You did order me remember? Why wouldn't I?" She whispers back and I nudge her legs slightly and frown at her to shut up. I'm really surprised Leanne would give a client attitude like that. Especially towards the same client I had that complained to Mary about me and she's knows full well what will happen if Michael complains about her.

We continue driving in silence for another 20 minutes and Michael asks the driver to stop outside of a house and I sit confused as Michael gets out then takes Leanne's hand helping her out too, then slam the door shut. "I thought we were supposed to go to a par..."

"We're ready to go now" Randy says to the driver and we drive off and I see Leanne and Michael standing on the sidewalk talking.

"Why did they get out there?" I ask Randy confused watching them as we drive away. "Why do you think?" He chuckles slightly. "But, we were told we were supposed to be escorting you both to a party not..."

"My brother paid for his girl for the whole night and what they do is his buisness not yours" he cuts me off. "They'll meet us there later" he adds then gets his phone out and starts texting somebody, hinting at me to shut up, which I quickly do.

Michael's POV

"Why are we getting out here?" Leanne asks nervously standing on the side of the road. "Because I wanted to talk to you alone without your friend listening" I say softly and she doesn't answer me. "Can you come inside. I don't wanna do this out in the middle of the street"

"Do what?"

"I just wanna talk to you that's all" I say softly and she doesn't answer and walks towards the door.

"Do you want anything to drink or eat?" I asks heading towards the kitchen "No thank you" she mumbles and I walk back out and see she's still standing by the door. "Why are you still standing there? Come and sit down" I frown confused and she does as told. "What was all that about in the car? Saying I ordered you?"

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to talk back or give you an attitude" she says nervously. "I don't care about that. Why would you say I ordered you?" I frown confused. "Because you did you paid Mary to have me and you got me. Just like with all clients" she says in a neutral told. "Why are you being like this?"

"Like what?"

"Barely talking and trying be all professional and stuff"

"Because that's what this is. A buisness arrangement" she mutters. "Has something happened?"

"No"

"Then why did you freak out the other day and why wouldn't you reply to my messages? Did I upset you?"

"No" she shakes her head "Then what is it?"

"Why do you keep asking me so many questions? You know the rules clients can't get personal with us and..."

"Fuck your stupid rules and just tell me!" I snap getting frustrated and she jumps slightly "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" I say softly and go to put my arm around her and she stays stiff "I just wanna know what's going on" I say softly. "I can't. Please don't ask me any more questions" she croaks an starts getting agitated again. "I wouldn't keep asking if you'd just give me the answers the first time"

"I can't" she says shakily "Why not?"

"I-I c-can't" she stutters and quickly gets up to leave, but I chase after her and stop her at the door. "Leanne, I'm not letting You run out on me again. If you don't wanna be in a relationship with me that's fine, but I deserve to at least know why?"

"I do" she whispers shakily. "Then what's the problem? Why can't you just quit where your working and be with me?"

"I told you why? Now will you please just..."

"No. All you said was it's complicated and I'm not gonna drop it until you give me a straight answer and..."

"BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE OK!?" She yells and I look at her confused "What do you mean you don't have a choice? Just tell your aunt you don't wanna work there anymore and..."

"I didn't wanna work there in the first place" she weeps "she made me work there I didn't wanna be there, but when my parents died social services said I had to live with her or I'd go into a childrens home and I couldn't do that. My dad was in a children's home and they beat him and raped an-and I thought I'd be safe with my Aunt. I always knew she was mean but..."

"Wait! what do you mean you'd have to be in children's home?" I frown confused and she doesn't say anything and continues shaking. "How old are you?" I ask and she doesn't answer. "Leanne, how old are you?" I ask again slightly more sternly. "16" she mumbles. "Which means you were 15 when we first..." I pause for a moment trying to take all of this in.

"I swear she told me you were 18... And so did you and I asked you if you wanted to be there and you said yes! I asked you over and over and every time we had sex I asked if you wanted to and you said yes. If you'd have Just told me then I never would have... fuck! This isn't happening" I sigh heavily rubbing my temple and start pacing around, still trying to take it all in.

"I'm sorry" Leanne mutters then bursts into tears and I pull her in close to me. "Ssshhh... It's ok... none of this is your fault" I say softly hugging her tightly then break away and take her hands and look into her eyes. "I need you to tell me everything ok? I promise I'm not gonna get mad at you. I just need you to be honest with me and tell me everything that's been going on. Can you do that for me?" I say softly wiping her tears away and she nods.

Randy's POV

It's been three hours and Michael and Leanne still haven't turned up yet. I've been calling, but he's not picking up and the girl I'm with is starting to ask questions.

I try again and this time he finally picks up.

"What the fuck? I've been calling for like three hours and Mia's getting all antsy about you disappearing with Leanne like that. What's go in on?"

"Umm... we're gonna stay here" he mutters. "Is that so? I take it you guys made up then" I chuckle slightly. "Kind of" he mumbles and I can tell in his voice something's not right. "What's wrong?" I ask concerned. "I'll talk to you about it in the morning" he mumbles. "Has something happened? Do you need me to come over?" I ask concerned. "I'll talk to you in the morning. I'm really tierd right now" he sighs.

Leanne's POV

I'm lay in the bed facing the wall and I hear Michael walk into the room, but I don't turn around. he doesn't say anything walks towards bed and I can hear him getting undressed and I nervously turn around and he's changing into some pyjamas "sorry. I didn't mean to wake you" he whispers and sits on the edge of the bed. "Do you want me to stay with you?" He asks softly and I nod, not saying anything and he climbs into the bed with me "it's ok. I'm not gonna do anything" he whispers and I suddenly burst into tears again and he pulls me in close to him. "It's gonna be ok" he says softly resting my head into his chest and I continue sobbing until eventually I fall asleep.
