It's Over

I try calling Michael, but his phone is switched off and we all start looking around the building for him when I see Dave one of the security men. "Hey. Have you seen Michael walking around here?"

"Yeah. He left about 5 minutes ago"

"He left?" I ask nervously and he nods. "Yeah, is there something wrong?" He asks and I shake my head. "I was just wondering is all" I fake a smile and walk away to try and call him again and again his phone is switched off.

"I can't find him anywhere" I hear Katherine say from behind me and turn and fake a smile at her. "He's gone home" I lie. "What do you mean he's gone home? He wouldn't just walk out and leave you here" she frowns confused. "Um... Me and him kind of had an argument and he just needed some space" I lie again and she frowns shaking her head. "So you've been getting at him aswel?"

"No we just had and argument is all, but he's fine. He just needs some time alone is all. I just spoke to him and..."

"What he needs is for everybody to stop picking on him! Jeez... first Joesph and now you! No wonder he stormed off crying" she frowns. "I'll go home and speak to him" I fake a smile and leave quickly before she can asks anymore questions.

Lisa's POV

"Why are you blocking the door? And why do you have Mikey?" I frown confused. "Because I don't want us to be disturbed" Michael shrugs "and as for how I got YOUR baby. It wasn't that hard. According to the birth certificate and what you've been telling people. I'M his father so I can do whatever I want. I could easily walk out of the hospital with him right now if I wanted to and nobody would try and stop me"

"Please... I'm sorry for what I said to your dad. Please just give him to me" I say nervously and go to take him, but Michael backs away from me. "How is my name on his birth certificate? I didn't sign anything"

"You don't need to if um... If you show them your marriage certificate" I mumble that last part. "But we're divorced" he frowns confused. "I still had a copy of our old marriage certificate"

"Of course you did" he smiles at me through pursed lips and doesn't say anything for a moment and I can see in his eyes he's really pissed off with my answer.

"Why are you doing this to me?" He mumbles "Because I love you and I know deep down you love me too and.."

"No I don't. I love Leanne. I've told you this already... many times and me and her are gonna get married because I love her and I wanna spend the rest if my life with her. I don't know how many ways I can say this to you and.."

"But you don't mean it. Your just saying that because you feel guilty" I cut him and he looks at me confused. "What have I got to feel guilty about?" He shrugs. "Because of what you did with Leanne. Making her have sex with you when she didn't want to and was underage, for almost killing her, for getting her pregant, for..."

"I don't feel guilty for any of that and I have no reason to either" he cuts me off. "She told me she was 18 and wanted to be with me. I didn't force her or threaten her to do anything and the fire was your fault not mine"

"You lit the flame" I point out. "Yeah, to help you and to get you out of that place. Your the one that locked Leanne in one of the rooms. You know full well if I'd known she was in there I never would have started that fire. I had no idea she was in there. Your to blame for that not me. I ran back in to save her and almost died myself. What happened to Leanne wasn't my fault. she'll tell you that herself. She tells me all the time" he shrugs. "And as for getting her pregant. I don't feel even a little bit guilty about that. In fact, finding out I got her pregant was the proudest moment of my life. I'm finally gonna have my own family" he smiles and looks down at the baby and smiles at him slightly.
