Lisa's POV

I stand watching in shock with tears rolling down my face as the firemen are extinguishing what's left of the flames and all I can think about is that Michael was inside.

"Please! You have to let me through! Please!" I hear Kathrine screaming and crying and I walk over towards her and one of the firemen.

"Ma'am. You can't come over here. It's still dangerous"

"I don't care! My son was in there and he- he... please? My baby boy was in there an... and..." she weeps. "I need to see him"

"I'm sorry ma'am" he says softly "but..." she begins then stops when she sees me. "Why? Why did Michael go back in there?" She sobs shakily and I wrap my arms around her. "I don't know" I croak as she holds onto me tighter.

"This is all your fault" she sniffles pushing me away "what? No. I never told him to go back insi..."

"But he told you to wait! He told you, but you wouldn't wait!" She snaps "and I'm sorry, but..."

"Sorry!? My beautiful baby boy is gone because of you and all you can say is your sorry!!!?" She screams and starts hitting at me

"Mother!" I hear Randy say grabbing her off of me and she turns to him and sobs. "We heard about the explosion. What's going on? Where's Michael?" He asks "he- he's...." she stutters and breaks down in his arms "where is he?" He turns to me "I'm so sorry" sob shakily and walk away from them.

Kathrine's POV

"Kathrine? Where's Michael?" Joesph asks stern, yet shakily "he's he's.... he's gone" I whisper shakily looking at what's left of the building and he shakes his head. "No... no he can't be" he says refusing to believe it.

****
Joesph's POV

I stand frozen looking at the building as the firemen finish putting out the last of the flames as Kathrine continues talking shakily trying to explain.
"I tried to stop him, but he ran back inside. Why would he do that?" She croaks and we all break down crying.

Janet's POV

"He- he's not...." I stutter. "He can't be..." I shake my head. "He would have got out before..."

"The building just exploded with him inside! How could he have gotten out!?" Mother snaps then breaks down again and I turn and walk closer to the building. "Janet, we can't go over there. It's not safe" LaToya says walking over to me. "He can't be gone.. he just can't" I shake my head refusing to believe it.

Randy's POV

I hear screaming and turn as see Janet going hysterical screaming and crying at a fireman and we all rush over. "Ma'am you need to calm..."

"Don't tell her to calm down! Are brothers in there!!!" I scream at him. And he looks at us all sympatheticly, but doesn't say anything.

Kathrine's POV

"Please just let us through? My baby was in there. I need to see him please?" I plead with him and he doesn't say anything for a moment

"I'm sorry" he mutters and I'm about to speak, but another fireman calls him over "excuse me" he says softly and rushes over.

"I need to see him" I say shakily and Joesph pulls me in close to him "he must have been terrified" I sob into his chest as he holds me tighter.

"Oh my God!" I gasp breaking away and he looks at me confused "it's Michael" I say shakily rushing over towards the crowd of people surrounding them.

"I need everybody to step back" a police officer says trying to break up the crowd. "Ma'am you can't..." he begins, but I shove past him a rush over through the crowd.

"Michael!" I weep wrapping my arms around him. "Please... please.... don't... let her die... please... help... her" Micheal sobs struggling to breath and I see Leanne laying on the ground surounded by paramedics.
"Will somebody help him!!! He can't fucking breath!!" Joesph yells at them and one of them turns around. "Sir. I told you, you need to keep breathing through this" he says putting a mask over his face and he pushes it away trying to get to Leanne "You have to help her! Please!" He begs him "we need to get them both to the hostpital" one of the medics says putting Leanne into the back of an ambulance. "W-Why is Leanne here? When did she..." I begin to ask and pause noticing Michael has suddenly gone very pale and starts struggling even more to breath. "Michael?" I say and he opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes out "Michael!" I yell in a panic as he eyes rolls to the back of his head and he collapses in front of me and is quickly rushed away into the ambulance.

Michael's POV

"W- what happend?" I mumble trying to get up from the bed. "Mr Jackson you need to try and relax" a doctor says trying to stop me getting up. "You were having some breathing problems and it caused you to pass out, but your gonna be ok" mother says softly trying to reassure me. "Where's Leanne? Is she ok? Where..."

"She in a room down the hall, with your sisters. The others are on their way"

"Is she ok?" I ask nervously "she um... she inhaled alot of smoke. like you did, but ...."

"No! Please.... don't tell me she's..."

"She's alive, but in a coma and..."

"I have to see her!" I say getting up and the doctor tries to stop me. "Mr Jackson. You need to stay here and be monitored. You've sustained alot of injurys and..."

"I don't care! I wanna see Leanne! Please let me see her" I sob turning to my mother. "Just for a moment" she says pulling me close to her. "And then you have to..."

"ahhh!!!" I yell in pain as she puts her arm near my side. "Sweetie. I'm sorry I didn't.."

"Can we just go and see her" I cut her off. "Why don't you wait until I get you some pain killers to ease the pain and..."

"No... I don't want any" I shake my head "but, you've just been very badly burned and..."

"I SAID NO!" I yell cutting him off then turn back to my mother "I wanna see her" I tell her again and she nods taking me to Leanne's room.

Kathrine's POV

The second we get to Leanne's room, Michael rushes over to her side and breaks down sobbing. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault" he sobs taking her hand in his.

When I saw the explosion, my heart shattered thinking my baby had been taken from me and the relief I felt when I saw him was a relief like I've never felt before, but as greatful and happy that I am God saved my son, it's still breaking my heart seeing Michael heartbroken and in pain.

"I'm so sorry" he weeps "this wasn't your fault" I say softly. "Yes it was! I was the one that lit the fire! I had no idea she was in there.... And I'm so sorry for everything I've done to you" he says shakily to Leanne. "Why was Leanne even there?" Janet asks

****
Lisa's POV

After showing me which room their in, the doctor leaves and I stand at the door that's open slightly and listen as Michael sobs telling his family what happened.

"Michael, non of this was your fault" Joesph says trying to comfort him. "I promised her I'd help her and I was, just like I promised I would" he croaks "Why would Lisa do this to me?" He weeps "I don't know sweetie, but we'll get the answers you want soon enough" Kathrine says softly. "I just want Leanne to be ok... I don't care about answers. I just want her back.. please don't let her die... please" he whimpers and breaks down and the tears begin streaming down my face listening to his crys.

"Excuse me. We're looking for a MR Jackson. We were told he's in here" a police officers says and I turn to him and nod "umm... yes. Their just in there" I say wiping my tears "are you ok ma'am?"

"I'm fine" I fake a smile through pursed lips and walk away without saying another word.

****
Joseph's POV

"Are you serious?" I snap at the officer. "Sir this is an extremely serious case and we need to speak with your son and we need to ask him some questions about what happend"

"And what exactly do you think your gonna get out of him right now!?" I point at Michael who's still sitting, staring blankly at Leanne with tears rolling down his face"

"I understand this is a hard time for you all but.."

"Hard time!?" I snap "my son almost died and she still might..." I pause not wanting to finish that sentance in front of Michael. "She's in a coma and he's still in shock. Can't you just give him a little time before you start questioning him?" I ask in a softer tone. "He'd be able to give you a clearer answers when he's not in this state"

The officer doesn't say anything for a moment and looks over at Michael then turns back to me and nods. "We'll come back tomorrow morning to talk to him" he says and leaves.

"We're gonna have to figure out what we're gonna say" I turn to the others once the officer leaves.
"Can't we just tell them it was an accident?" LaToya says. "He pushed the fire alarm then set the place on fire. You can't accidentally do that! And what are we supposed to say about Leanne and why she's living with Michael and how they even know each other and..."

"tell them the truth" Michael mutters in a neutral tone. "Are you crazy!? Do you have any idea what would happened to you!? You'd be locked up for arson, human trafficking, sex with a minor and.."

"I don't care" he says blankly, still not taking his eyes off Leanne. "You don't care if you go to jail?"

"It's what I deserve"

"Michael, you this wasn't your fault and you don't deserve to go to prison for it" Janet says and he doesn't reply for a moment.

"Your right" I finally mutters "I deserve to be where she is. I should be the one laying here not her"

"Michael, please don't talk that way" Kathrine cuts in "but it's true" he croaks and breaks down once again and Kathrine puts her arms around him softly. "It should have been me. I should be the one fighting for my life not her" he weeps.

****
Randy's POV

It's been hours since what happened and still non of us can really believe all this is happening. We're still at the hostpital and are hanging around in the waiting room so Michael can have to time alone with Leanne and mother comes back from taking a call.

"That was the police" she smiles slightly "they said Lisa walked into the department and told them that she was the one that set the fire"

"So she'll be locked up?" I ask and she nods. "She's already been arrested" she says then looks at me confused. "You don't seem to happy about it" she frowns confused. "Didn't you hear what Michael said before? He said it should be him laying there"

"He was just upset. He didn't mean it. Everybody says things when there upset and.. "

"And not everybody has a history of depression or attempted sucicide" I cut her off. "That was a long time ago. And Michael's better now. He's even went to reahab and got of pain killers and he's stuck to it and he's been in the best place he has since..."

"Since before Leanne came along" I cut her off. "Michael maybe stronger these days, but that's because of Leanne and if she doesn't make it then..."

"Don't talk that way" she cuts me off "but we need to talk about it. The doctors already said it didn't look good and if she dies then Michael will break down. He's not gonna be strong enough to deal with this"

"What are we supposed to do?" LaToya cuts in. "We can't make her wake up. She has the best doctors taking care of her and their doing everything they can for her"

"We all need keep a close eye on Michael" Joesph says "we'll take it in turns, but whatever happens nobody leaves him alone and..."

"You don't really think he would do anything do you?" Mother says nervously. "He almost did once before" he points out "we all just need to keep a close eye on Michael and keep praying that Leanne wakes up"
