Let me go

Michael's POV

I open my eyes and smile to myself seeing Faith lay asleep beside me. I peck her lips tenderly so not to wake her and quietly get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom.

Whilst I'm in there, I think to myself trying to remember exactly what happened last night. A lot of it is blurry, but then I start getting little flash backs of me dragging her around the house and her crying. "What have I done?" I sigh to myself feeling awful as more of what happened last night comes flooding back and I can't imagine how scared she must have been.

I leave the bathroom and quietly start looking around for my phone. I find Faith's, but when I go to switch it on nothing happens and I look and see both her battary and SIM card is missing.

Confused I head downstairs to find mine the same way, with the battery and SIM missing and so is my house phone. "What the fuck did I do last night?" I say to myself confused and continue looking around.

Jackies's POV

I didn't get any sleep last night thinking about Faith. I know Enid is right and that it will just have been a wasted trip, but I still can't shake off this worrying feeling.

"I'm going over there" I sigh getting up from the breakfast table. "Jackie. How many times? Your just being paranoid" Enid rolls her eyes "but what if I'm right? You don't think its weird that one minute they broke up and then all of a sudden they both disappear?"

"No offense, but lets face it Faith and Michael are pretty weird" she shrugs. "Their not weird!" I frown defensively. "Jackie they think it's ok for an uncle and niece to sleep together and them disappearing isn't exactly unusual for them is it? They did this after Faith posted that stuff online about you being her dad remember? And look what happened. They came back the next day perfectly fine an engaged. They'll turn up eventually" she shrugs. "If this was Brandi or Siggy would you be saying that!?" I snap "That's different their children and..."

"Yours!" I cut her off "that not what I said" she shakes her head "but it's what you think. You've hated Faith since the second you found out she was mine"

"I don't hate her. I just think it's pretty sick that her and Michael..."

"That's not the reason and you know it! Faith's my daughter whether you like it or not!" I snap. "She was born long before you and me ever met. It's not like I cheated on you" she doesn't answer me and I sigh heavily and grab my keys and make my way to the door. "Where are you going?"

"I already told you!"

"For what? their not even there. Julie even told you Faith text her and told her she was safe" she sighs rolling her eyes. "Then it wouldn't matter if I go and see for myself will it?" I shrug. She's about to speak, but I walk out slamming the door behind me, not giving her the chance to talk me out of it again.

Faith's POV

I wake up and jump slightly seeing Michael sitting beside me on the edge of the bed.

"Sssh, it's ok. I didn't mean to wake you" he whispers, softly stroking the side of my face "I'm so sorry about last night" he croaks and I sit up moving away from him. "Are you ok?" He asks sincerely "I just want to go"

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you do that. I called a doctor and he's gonna be here soon"

"I don't need a doctor. I need to leave" I Say getting up, putting on my underwear and a t-shirt and make my way to the door and he follows me. "You need to see a doctor and let him check you and the baby and why do you wanna leave? Last night you said you wanted us to get back together. We even slept together and.. "

"Are you crazy!? What makes you think I want your baby after this!?" I snap. "Why are you being like this? I told you I was sorry and I swear it'll never happened again. I know your still upset, but you don't need to take it out on the baby"

"Stay away from me!" I snap about to walk out and he takes my arm stopping me. "I'm not gonna let you walk out like this. Why won't you just talk to me instead of keep pushing me away?"

"Why!? Because you kidnapped me and locked me in your room all night you fucking phycho! And you just wait until I get out of here! Because the second I do I'm going straight to the police and telling them everything about last night and all about us and..."

"So tell them about us. I didn't force you to be with me" he says cutting me off. "Then i'll lie and tell them you did and this baby will be gone the first chance I get too!" I yell at him and walk out.

"Hey, your back!" Kai smiles walking up the stairs and I'm about to speak, but Michael grabs me from behind pulling me back into the room and closing the door and puts his hand over my mouth to stop me screaming.

Michael's POV

"Is everything ok in there?" Kai asks concerned, knocking on the door. "Everythings fine. We just need some alone time" I say to her through the door and listen as she walks away.

"Your not gonna do anything to my baby and your not leaving me" I turn back to Faith and she begins crying and I let go of her realising what I'm doing. "Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."

"Why are you doing this to me?" She sobs. "Because you won't just let me talk. Baby, I love you and you said you love me too and if you wanna go to the police about last night that's fine, but I never forced you to be with me! And I didn't force you to have sex with me either!" I snap. "I'm sorry I didn't mean any of that. I won't go to the police I swear" she says shaking and I start sobbing seeing how scared of me she looks. "I didn't mean to do what I did last night. I swear I only came over to talk you and... I don't know what happened. It's like everything just went blank. I've been drinking a lot since you left and..."

"That wasn't alcohol" she cuts me off. "You took something didn't you?" She frowns and I nod "it was just once and I swear I've never taken anything before" I tell her honestly. "What was it?"

"I don't know" I mumble and she looks at me confused "how can you not know?"

"I've been really depressed since you left. And this guy he um... he gave me some pills and he said it'll help me forget, but I had no idea I'd black out or..."

I'm cut off when Faith pushes past me to leave and I pull her back. "Please don't leave. Not again" I croak "get the fuck away from me!" She snaps and starts swinging at me.

"Will you quit acting like a phycho bitch!" I snap grabbing her arms and move us over onto the bed and get on top of her to stop her hitting at me. "Get the fuck off of me!" She screams trying to struggle free. "I'll get off you when you calm down and quit hitting me!" I snap. She's about to speak and the door suddenly swings open.

Jackie's POV

I drive over to Michael's house and get out of the car confused when I see police officers pulling up as well.

"What's going on?" I ask one of the officers "we got a call about a domestic disturbance and.."

"What!?" I snap cutting him off and begin banging on the door "sir please calm down" one officer says sternly and I'm about to speak when Michael's chef opens the door. "What the fuck is going on!? Where's Faith!?" I snap at her pushing my way into the house "I- I don't know he dragged her in the room and..."

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME!!!" Faith screams from upstairs and myself and the police quickly rush upstairs.

The police open the door and Michael is on top of Faith pinning her to the bed. "Its not what it looks like" Michael says getting off and Faith rushes into my arms as and Michael continues yelling as the police handcuff him dragging him out of the room.

**
After the police take Michael away one of the officers stays behind and takes a statement from Faith and as I'm listening I can tell Faith is hiding somthing.

"It was my fault. We were arguing and he was trying to calm me down"

"By pinning you on a bed and climbing on top of you?" The officer looks at her skeptically. "We were arguing and I was hitting him. He was just trying to stop me. It was my fault, not his"

"And what was this argument about?"

"I- I um... I can't rember" Faith stutters "It must have been something if you were attacking him"

"I can't remeber. It was something stupid and I just lost my temper"

"Has he ever done anything like this before?"

"No"

"Faith, your not going to be in any trouble and your uncle has been arrested and is in custody. he can't hurt you, you know that right?" The officer says softly and she nods.

"When Michael was holding you down did he try and do anything else?"

"No. He was just trying to stop me hitting him"

"Are you sure? Because if he tried to do anything or make you..."

"He didn't" Faith cuts him off. "Has he ever tried to make you do anythig you didn't want to or tried to become sexual with you in anyway?"

"No" she quickly answers. I obviously know that she's lying about the two of them being sexual, but I don't say anything and continue listening letting the officer do his job.

I can tell by the look on the officers face that he's skeptiacl about Faith's answers, but he continues asking her and doesn't try and push her to much.

*
When Faith is done giving her statement I show the officer out and speak with him privately.

"So what happens now?" I ask in a hushed tone so Faith doesn't hear. "Well... since Faith has refused to press charges, I have no option but to let your brother go"

"Are you fucking serious!? You saw what he was doing! He had her pinned down to the fucking bed!" I snap "which your daughter is claiming was in self defence. "That's bullshit and you know full well she's lying" I snap at him. "Mr Jackson. I can't file charges based on my thinking she's lying. I understand how hard that this must be for you to have seen your brother behaving that way, especially towards your daughter, but unless she tell us different and actually files charges against him then we have no choice but to let him go" he says sympathetically. "Well as soon as you do I'm gonna murder him" I frown shaking my head. "You do realise your talking to a police offer?" He raises an eyebrow at me. "I didn't mean literally"

"Well, If there's any kind of attack on Michael he will be able to press charges and that person will be arrested" he says sternly

***
I called Julie and told her briefly what's happened and I'm on my way to her house with Faith and she's been quiet the whole time.

"Why didn't you tell the police the truth about you and Michael?" I ask. "Why do you think? That was down to me too" She shrugs. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure" she mumbles "Faith, if he made you do those things, you can tell me. You don't have to be afraid" I say softly "is that the real reason you were with Michael? Because he was forcing you?"

"No! He hasn't forced me to do anything. How many times do I have to tell people this!? I told you what happened, just like I did the police" She snaps "I was with Michael because I wanted to be and we had sex because I wanted to. If he had forced me then I would have said that to the police when they asked me"

"How come you text your mom and told her you were going away if..."

"Can we please stop talking about this?" She cuts me off and I nod, seeing how confomfortble she's getting. I do want answers, but I don't want to push her and have her close up on me.

****
Michael's POV

"How many times? She was hitting me. I wasn't trying to force her to do anything" I snap at the officer who's interviewing me. "Over and argument, but You don't rember what it was about?"

"That's what I said"

"It's kind of weird you'd forget something like that. Especially when the argument would turn so violent" he comments "Well I did" I shrug. "Are you often violent towards your niece?"

"No! And I wasn't. I already told you what happened"

"This isn't the first time, you've been interviewed about Ms Owen's is it? According to our records. There was a claim made against you that you'd been abusing your neice"

"Which was down to her mom! I didn't abuse anybody and Faith even said so herself!" I snap. "But, according to our files, Faith's mother found a video on her daughter's phone of both of you admitting the two of you were together and things were sexual. Care to explain that?" He says in a sarcastic tone. "Do you care to explain what this has to do with why my client is here?" My lawyer says in the same sarcastic tone as the officer. "Two charges have been made against your client and both involving the same young girl" he smirks proudly. "Which the young girl denied and no video was ever seen"

The officer is about to speak when there's a knock on the door and an officer walks in. "Mr Jackson, your free to leave"

"What!? You can't release him!" The officer interviewing me snaps. "We've spoken to Ms Owen's and she's not pressing charges and claims she was the one attacking Mr Jackson" the second officer says. "This is bullshit!" The first officer snaps storming out. "Can I see Faith now?" I turn to my lawyer and the second officer cuts in before he can answer. "Technically you can, but personally I think it's best you don't at least for now" he smiles at me through pursed lips and leaves the room.

"What the hell was that about with that interviewer ?" I say confused to my lawyer once we leave the room. "It came across to me like the officer interviewing you had some kind of vendetta against you"

"For what? I've never met the guy before" I frown "your a rich celebrity" he shrugs "I see it all the time with police trying to find things one famous people. I wouldn't worry about it though. Faith admitted she was the one doing the attacking" he reassures me. "You know if you wanted you could actually press charges against her for assault"

"Well I don't. I just wanna talk to her"

"It's probably best you just go home" he sighs and I nod knowing that he's right.

*
I'm on my way home and I'm still surprised that Faith didn't press any charges considering what I did last night and I'd understand if she had. I knew she didn't mean what she saiď about telling the police I forced her because Faith isn't like that and I know she would never lie about somthing like that, but what I don't know for sure is if she meant what she said about getting rid of our baby and I'm praying to myself that she doesn't. I know I messed up, but I didn't set out to do any of this and I never wanted her to feel afraid of me and I could see it in her eyes how scared she was of me when the police were taking me away.

*
"What the hell was all that about!?" Kai says the second I open the door. "How come your still here?"

"Don't try and change the subject. What the hell happened? Why did you drag Faith and scream at her like that?" She frowns confused "I ruined everything" I croak and break down crying and tell her everything that happened.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" She gasps when I tell her. "I didn't plan it. I only went over to talk and, but she wouldn't listen and.."

"Then you should have left her until she was ready to talk. Not kidnap the poor girl!"

"But she was ok after awhile and she even said she wanted us to be back together and we slept together and.."

"She did say YES to that didn't she?" She cuts me off "What!?" I frown "of course! she wasn't struggling or trying to get away!"

"That's not what I asked you"

"Well I didn't rape her if that's what your getting at!" I snap. "She wanted to. I didn't force her" I mutter walking into the living room and she follows me.

"Michael, I had to ask"

"No you didn't" I sniffle. "I know I fucked up and I've already lost my fianceé and my baby and I don't need you accusing me of rape!"

"I'm sorry" she sighs sympathetically "she's never gonna speak to me again" I sob "you don't know that for sure. Just give her a few days and then call. If she's not ready wait and try again. She'll have to speak to you eventually. She's pregnant with your child remember? She wouldn't stop you from seeing your child"

"There's not gonna be a baby. Not anymore" I croak "She lost it!?" She gasps and I shake my head. "She's going to have an abortion. She said she doesn't want anything to do with me and that includes my baby" I sobs and she pulls me in close to her.

Faith's POV

"This is all your fault!" I hear my mom scream at Jackie and I listen to them at my bedroom door.

"How is this my fault!?"

"Your the one that let that psycho brother of yours near my daughter in the first place!"

"Our daughter! And how was I suppose to know this was going to happen and your the one who let them meet in the first place not me!"

"Well he's not gonna get away with this! Who knows what he's been doing to her all these months. For all we know this could have been going on this whole time!"

"She said it hadn't. I aksed her on the way over"

"Well she's probably too terrified of you and your psycho brother to tell you the truth!"

I close my bedroom door not wanting listen to them argue anymore and lay down on my bed.

I know I should have told the police the truth about what really happened last night and this morning, but apart of it was my fault too. I basically threatened to murder his child. Of course he was going to be hurt by that and I was telling the truth about what happened when the police walked in on Me and Michael.

Even though I know apart of what happened was my fault, that doesn't justify the things Michael did. I've never seen Michael like that before and I was so scared of him last night and even this morning.

I lay on my bed crying and thinking about everything that's happened. Everything was so perfect and Michael and I were so happy and in love and we were going to start a family together and now I'm lay here crying, listening to my parents arguing downstairs blaming each other for what's happened.

My thoughts are broken when my phone starts ringing and my heart skips a beat when I see that it's Michael. Apart of me wants to take his call and speak to him but the other doesn't. My hearts saying answer yet my brain is saying not to.

I stare at the screen for a moment and decide to listen to my brain for once instead of my heart and cancel the call.

I get ready for bed and put on a movie to try and take my mind of everything that's happened and my phone beeps and I have a text.

From: Michael
I understand if you never want to see or speak to me ever again, but I need you to know that I love you more than anything and I always will and I'm truly sorry for all the pain I've caused you and I pray that you will someday forgive me. I wish I could tell you this in person or even on the phone, but if your not ready to speak to me then I'll respect that and give you your space. Please call me when you ready to talk.
I love you always xxxx
