Michael's Point Of View ~ 

I pause for a moment, looking at Allie as my phone continues to ring. Her face is showing nothing but fear. She doesn't know what to say or think. After a few seconds she gives me a sad face then nods her head as she tells me to answer it. She knows I can't hide from this. 

"We can't run from him forever, Michael . . " She whispers sadly. 

I press the green accept button and put the phone to my ear. I brace myself for Frank to lose it on me. He knows I'm with Allie right now. I know it. 

" . . hi, Frank . . " I say as casual as possible. 

"Mike, I'm in your hotel room . . but you're not here . . " 

I look at Allie and put my hand on her cheek, she puts her hand over mine. I hear Frank release a small sigh before he finishes his sentence. He knows. Where else would I be? 

" . . are you with Allie? . . " Frank asks me. 

I take a deep breath. "Frank . . I . . " 

He cuts me off, startling me a little bit. 

"Damn it, Mike don't lie to me. I know that you're with her . ." Everything goes silent for a second. 

"Yes. I am with Allie . . " I confess to him. 

"Come to your hotel room now Mike, please. And bring Allie too . . " 

"Okay, we'll get there when we can . . " 

I hang up and look at her. How did Frank know I was here? Allie looks down. 

"Frank wants to meet with both of us, doesn't he? . . " I don't say anything, I just nod at her question. I take Allie's beautiful face in both my hands, getting her to look at me. 

"I am going to be with you, Allie. I want you in my life forever I love you" She gives me this smile on her face that makes me forget about everything for a minute. It's a smile that tells me that somehow everything is going to be okay. I press my forehead against hers. 

"He doesn't understand, Michael. You need to make him understand, make him see that I'm in love with you . . " She says softly with tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Allie and I walk into my hotel room. I take off my beard, hat and massive coat. Frank walks into the lounge room where we are. I have to admit that I'm a little angry that Frank thinks he can control my life. That he thinks he can forbid me from being with Allie. I mean, I know where Frank's concerns are coming from, I understand. He doesn't know how I feel. From the moment I met this beautiful girl, I knew. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. There were times before I met Allie that I would walk down the street just to talk to people. Dressed in my disguise head to toe. I would get so incredibly lonely. God has answered my prayers. By bringing Allie into my life and I don't understand why Frank doesn't see how real this love is between us. I'm a little confused at the moment, Frank is standing in front of us with a pair of my black pants, a red button up t-shirt and a pair of white socks. He just hands them to me 

"Take off your disguise Michael. I got these from your drawer, now please put them on . . " 

He walks back into my bedroom, this time he comes back into the lounge room carrying a pair of my black loafers and a suitcase. Why is he carrying a suitcase for? What is going on? Where are we going? I look at Allie next to me, she's just as confused as I am. 

I let out a very nervous laugh "Frank, where are we going? . . " 

Frank looks at both of us, his eyes burning when he stares at Allie. I feel her hold onto my hand.

"Michael, you and I. We are going. We are leaving and continuing with your tour. And Allie is staying here, she isn't coming with us . . " 

"We leave in only a few minutes. I have already packed your things . . "

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Is Frank serious? 

"Frank you're not serious right now? How can you do this? Can't you see that this is real? . . "

He just looks at us as two big security guards walk in behind us. We both turn around to look at them then back at Frank. "Mike, whatever you call this between you two stops now. You and I are leaving now . . and Allie is staying here . . "

Allie's Point Of View ~

"I'm so sorry Allie . . " 

Jessica says hugging me warmly. I called her as soon as Michael and Frank left. I have never felt so heartbroken. I can't believe that Frank was so desperate for Michael and I to be separated that he brought in security and threatened to throw me in jail. For what? 

For being in love with Michael. 

Jessica doesn't know about Michael. I am still keeping my promise to Michael about not telling anyone about us, at least not until Michael says it's okay too. Jessica is so sweet, I'm so lucky that I have such a good friend like her to count on. Or in this case, a shoulder to cry on. I wipe my tears away and grab a tissue, blowing my nose, throwing it in the bin afterwards. Jessica thinks I'm upset because of some 'family issues' going on. Michael and I just couldn't be separated, Michael almost stood up to Frank but I said to him to just listen to what he wants. He only agreed to protect me. He left with Frank and I just fell to my knees, crying. I called Jessica to meet me at my place and here I am, crying from my shattered heart. Just knowing that Michael isn't here now. It feels like everything I love is never coming back. 

God! My heart feels so alone. So incomplete. 

I'm thinking back to just seeing the look on Frank's face. It was so hard, he was so cold and now that Michael has left possibly forever, I am beyond devastated. Why can't he see that I feel I have nowhere left to go now? I miss Michael so fucking much. It hurts. I don't even know how many times I tried to talk to tell Frank, but he never listened to me. He never listened to either of us. All he said was that I was wrong, that all I was after was Michael's money and fame. I want to tell Jessica everything about Michael and I but I'm too damn scared, scared of many things. Her reaction, what her mind will think. What if she laughs at me? What if she just simply doesn't believe me and thinks I'm making the whole thing up in my mind? But I know that I must keep my word to Michael . . it's our secret. 

Jessica puts her arm around me, trying her best to comfort me. 

"Look, Allie. Whatever is going on . . it's gonna be okay with time . . " 

I look at her. All I can do is nod. I don't really agree but she is trying her best to be there for me. She is trying her best to comfort me. 

"I know Jessica, thank you . . " A tear filled voice.
