Leanne's POV

"That's bullshit!" I hear Micheal snap in the living room and I stand behind the door listening for a moment and he continues yelling throughout his phone call and he's seems really mad at Who ever he's on the phone with.

"Leanne can you come here a second?" He says softly and I open the door wider to go over to him.

"Did you hear all that?" He asks and I shake my head. "I wasn't snooping I just..."

"It's fine" he smiles slightly, cutting me off then sighs heavily. "That was our lawyer on the phone. Lisa's trial is in a few days and she's now changing her plea to not guilty"

"But she already confessed. She went to the police station and told them herself" I frown confused. "I know, but now she's claiming that I forced her to confess and threatened her if she didn't. This is all my fault" he sigh heavily and drops on the sofa.

"How it is your fault? She's the one saying these things not you"

"Yeah, but if it wasn't from me going in there with an attitude and lied and said I'd help her then she probably wouldn't be doing this. If I'd just kept my mouth shut and my comments to myself then non of this would have happened" he sighs "You don't know that for sure" I say softly sitting beside him and wrap my arms around him and he pulls men in closer, resting his head on my shoulder. "She's refusing to see me now so I can't even talk to her and try and put it right"

"What if I try and talk to her?" I suggest and he lifts his head from my shoulder. "I don't want you anywhere near that place again. Plus she's still blaming you for what happened so she won't listen"

"It's worth a shot. It's not like we have many other options" I shrug and he doesn't say anything for a moment, thinking about it then shakes his head.

"No. I'm not taking you down there. This is my mess. I can't ask you to do that"

"But your not asking me to do anything" I point out "She almost killed you the last time and..."

"And that's another reason for me to go down there" I cut him off. "I'm gonna have to face her in a few days anyway when we go to court at least this way I can try and talk to her before court" I explain and he doesn't say anything.

"Micheal, You know I'm just gonna go there anyway" I shrug. "No you won't because If you try I'll just follow you and..."

"Great! Then you can drop me off" I cut him off and he chuckles slightly under his breath. "I don't really have a choice do I?"

"Nope"

"Fine. I'll take you" he sighs, giving in.

Lisa's POV

I was told that Leanne wanted to see me today I have no idea and don't really care why she wants to see me because there's nothing for me to say to her. That little bitch has done nothing but cause trouble for me and Michael since day one and turned him against me and I'm not sorry in the slightest for what happened to her either. The only reason I agreed to see her was so I can get away from Mary and Mia, even of it is just for a while and to speak to her.

After taking a quick shower, I quickly get dressed and am about to leave when Mary grabs my arm. "You and I need a little talk" she frowns, pushing me back in.

"W-whatever it was I did I'm sorry. Please don't hit..."

"I hear you have a little visitor coming to see you. My neice to be precise" she cuts me off. "How did you know Leanne was..."

"That doesn't matter. What matters is what you say to her" she frowns and I look at her confused and listen as she starts telling me what to say to her.

"N-no I-I can't" I shake my head "Micheal didn't do any of that stuff and.. "

"Are you disobeying me!? Again!?" She frowns and I shake my head nervously. "Good, because trust me, you really don't wanna protect some spoilt little rich kid over me" she says sternly. "Why do you hate Michael so much?"

"Because that little fucker burned down my buisness. Why do you think. You stupid whore!" she snaps and I don't say anything for a moment.

"But he didn't do what your saying" I mumble under my breath.

"I Don't give a fuck and you shouldn't either. He's just another spoilt rich kid. He's nothing special" she shrugs.

"There's a lot more to him than just his money... I just realised to late" I mumble that last part. "He's nothing but a spoil little rich brat, just like Leanne was until her parents went bye bye" she shrugs and I don't say anything.

"You still have feelings for him don't you?" She chuckles "No. I just don't think it's fair to do that to him. He didn't do anything wrong and..."

"He's he's done plently" she chuckles. "He just gets daddy to fix it for him. He even bought him a new girlfriend when his last one got to old and used up" she scrunches her face looking me up and down. "The same girlfriend that's coming to see you and you will tell her exactly what I said. She says sternly. "Why are you doing this to me?" I croak, trying not to cry and she shoves me hard into the wall. "Don't ever question me again!" she frowns and gets my face. "Now you tell her or i'll make sure what happened to that spoilt little bitches parents happens to you. Do you understand?" She frowns and I nod shakily and she lets me go and moves away from me. "Good. Now go clean yourself up. You look disgusting" she scrunches her face at me and walks out.

Leanne's POV

"Are you sure you wanna do this? Because we can always go home now and forget all about it" Michael says still trying to talk me out of it and I lean forward and kiss him softly then break away. "Nothing bads going to happen to me, I promise"

"But what if..."

"She's in jail and has her court date in a few days. do you really think she's gonna mess it up and get more charges on her?"

"I just feel weird leaving you alone with her" he mumbles. "It's gonna be I ok I promise. I'm just gonna go in and talk to her and that's it" I smile and get out of the car and he follows behind me and we go inside.

"Are you sure about this? Because we can still leave now of you've changed your mind" he says as we're waiting for an officer to bring me to Lisa and I'm about to answer when someone comes over to us.

"Can you just give us a moment?" Micheal says to the officer and I turn and hand him my phone.

"I have some games on here. Why don't you play that until I get back? Their really easy to play, but It'll help take your mind of things until I get back" I smile

"Did you seriously just give me a toy to play with in the waiting room?" He chuckles taking it from me. "Yup, now you be good until I get back" I giggle and make my way to where Lisa is with the officer.

When I get there, Lisa is waiting for me and the gaurd stands at the other side of the room giving us a little privacy to talk.

"I heard you wanted to talk to me.... so Speak" she shrugs with and attitude. "And I heard you changed you plea to not guilty" I say with a similar attitude. "Well if you came to get me to change my mind then your was to your time!"

"Why did you do it?"

"If Michael can come in here and say he'll help get me out then quickly change his mind once he got what he wanted. Why can't I changed my mind" she shrugs.

"Last time Michael tried to help you, me and him got blown up and almost died. Do you really blame him for not wanting to help you? And I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about you kidnapping me and locking me in that room" I ask and she doesn't say anything for a moment then sighs heavily.

"I started the fire because Michael told me to do it. But I didn't realise he was still in there at the time and he was the one who told me to put you in there"

"Micheal told you to kidnap me and try and kill me!?"

"He said he was getting bored with you and umm..." she pauses "he was the reason your parents died and he was the one that threatened Mary and told her to make you work there for him"

"He was responsible for the crash? And what happened to me?" I mutter and she nods "he wanted some more girls working for him and he thought you'd make him some money. He was the one that owned the brothel not Mary"

"Did Mary tell you to say that?"

"No. I was in on the whole thing to until I found out he'd been fucking the girls there and wanted out of the whole thing but he wouldn't let me" she shakes her head "but, Michael didn't know me or my parents before Mary sent me to the brothel"

"Yes he did. How else would he have set it up for your parents to get in a car accident" she shrugs

"If he knew who I was then how do you explain him being so shocked when I told him what was going on and when he found out I was only 15 at the time and if you really was in on it then you'd know full well my parents didn't die in a car accident"

"Umm... I...."

"Mary already tried that story and it didn't work. So why don't you tell me the real reason you tried to kill me?"

"Because I wanted you dead... duh!"

"Why?"

"You really wanna know why?" She frowns and I nod.

"Beacuse You ruined my life and you stole My husband from me!"

"No I didn't. You and him were divorced and he came to me and you can't blame me for all the bad things that happened in your life. Your not the only one to have gone through some shitty things you know"

"So you had to fuck a few men. Big deal" she shrugs. "You have no idea about the life I had. Mary told me all about you and your perfect little life. You had the perfect parents and the perfect life and lived in a big beautiful home and had rich parents giving you anything and everything you wanted! Even after they died you got a 2 million dollar inheritance for gods sake! So don't sit there and play the poor little victim just because you fucked one or two guys! I was the one that suffered. I had nothing growing up. I didn't have a rich mommy and daddy taking care of me and doting on me. My dad walked out and left me and my mother with nothing! We had to move from place to place and had to struggle to pay bills and buy groceries. I didn't even have a stable home until I met Micheal and you stole him from me!"

"I didn't steal Micheal from you! He came to me and you and him were long over before that! I snap. "So you had some money issues as a kid. So what! You wanna talk about shitty childhoods!? My mother spent her childhood having to watch her father die of a heart attack and then her mother drink herself to death and my dad didn't even know his dad and him and my aunt Mary had to grow up in an orphanage and were beaten and raped on a daily basis because their mother was to fucked up on heroin to give a shit! Yes I had a great childhood and my parents had alot of money, but you know why? because my parents worked their ass's off and earned what they had and they wanted their child to remember her childhood filled with love and happy memories because they didn't want me to suffer to go through the pain and suffering they had to and I'm truly greatful for that and I'm not going to apologie for that either. So don't come at me with your little sob story because you not being able to pay a few bills isn't an excuse to try and kill somebody!" I snap and she doesn't say anything.

"And as for that inheritance I got! if that's whats bothering you so much...then take it. I have done nothing to you, but if giving you my inheritance is what it's going to take for you to be happy leave me alone then fine! I'll give you ever penny if that's what it takes because I really don't care about it as much as you obviously do"

"Of course you don't care about it because you still have micheal and his money. If you really want me out of your life then you'd give Michael back to me"

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that" I shrug "Micheal doesn't belong to me just like no human belongs to anybody. And I can't physically force somebody to love you or make them want to be with you"

"But you could have just stayed away from him. You could have left him along time ago and if you had then none of this would have happened and micheal and I would have been back together and I never would have been where I am right now you have no idea how much I've suffered and..."

"Oh my god!" I snap cutting her off "You think your so hard done by and that I've never suffered!? Why don't you try finding out your parents were shot and stabbed to death and the one that did it forced you to work in a brothel when you were a 15 year old little girl and then  have that same person have you beaten and gang raped before selling you to somebody! Then come and talk to me about suffering!"

"W- what?" She stutters surprised "I guess Mary didn't mention that part?" I say sarcastically and she shakes her head "I had no idea" she mumbles. "I-i'm so sorry that happened to yo....."

"I don't want your pitty" I cut her off "the only reason I came here was to ask you to change your plea back to guilty, but you know what? I really don't care anymore more. If you had any good in you then you wouldn't have done what you did to me in the first place" I shrug and get up to leave.

"W- wait!" She calls me back and I ignore her and keep walking.

Michael's POV

"How the fuck does she do these things so easily?" I sigh heavily still trying to escape the room on one of games on Leanne's phone. "We must have missed something" The defective sitting beside me says, trying to help me figure it out. "We couldn't have. There's no where else to check" I frown getting annoyed.

"The keys behind the poster" I hear a familiar voice "hey! Your back" I smile wrapping my arms around Leanne. "So how did it go?" I ask and she shrugs and smiles at me through pursed lips. "Lets go home" I smile and she nods and follows behind me.

"I'm guessing she not changing her mind?" I ask as we're the way home. "I have no idea" she sighs and tells me everything that was said.

"Hopefully she will change her plea, but I'm not counting on it" Leanne Sighs. "But least you tried and you got to say everything you've wanted to say to her for a long time" I smile at her through pursed lips and she smiles back the same way and I can tell she's upset about the conversation she had with Lisa.

"Do you wanna go to the arcade?" I ask changing the subject. "Sure!" She smiles "it's been a while since I kicked your butt in that place"

"I only because I always LET you win" I lie. "Yeah, sure you do" she rolls her eyes playfully and I turn the car around and make our way to the arcade.
