Faith's POV

It's been a few days since I came home and I still haven't spoken to Michael. My mom hasn't said anything about that night or any of the Jackson's and I'm glad she hasn't because I'm really not ready to talk about any of that yet. I still haven't told my mom about the baby. I know i'll have to tell her eventually, but right now me and my mom have been getting along great and I'm trying deal with one problem at a time, not get into an argument and make more drama for myself.

I go downstairs and my mom is in the kitchen. "Hey! Breakfast is almost ready" she smiles turning to see me. "Is Fernando working away all week?" I ask and she sighs shaking her head "we broke up a while ago"

"You what? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Because when you first came home you were upset"

"What happened?"

"It just wasn't working out" she shrugs causally. I can tell there's more to it, but just like me and Michael she clearly doesn't want to talk about it.

"How about we do a little shopping today?" I ask. "I'd love to, but I have a lot of work today and..."

"One day won't hurt" I cut her off "you and I need some retail therapy to help us forget about men"

"I supose one day wont hurt" she smiles and I smile back "you finish your breakfast and i'll go get ready" she smiles and heads upstairs to get ready.

Jackie's POV

I haven't seen or heard anything from Michael or Faith in a few days now, which is weird because normally Faith calls me at least every other day and whenever I've tried calling her phone but it goes straight to voice mail and I'm starting to get concerned.

When I go over it takes awhile, but eventually Michael comes to the door and he looks a mess and clearly wasted.

"Mike, what the fuck!?" I frown looking around the living room seeing empty whisky bottles around the place. "Where's Faith?"

"She gone" he croaks and begins sobbing "gone where?"

"As far away from me as possible. I didn't do it I swear!" He sniffles "do what!? Mike, what the fuck are you talking about!" I snap getting irritated and he starts telling me about what happens.

".... I know Diana didn't like that we were together, but I never thought she'd do something thing like this. And now Faith won't speak to me and switched off her phone so I can't even call her" he sobs and I pull him in close to me. In a way I'm glad the two have them finally split, but not like this. seeing Michael in this state is killing me and I hate to think the state Faith is in right now. It was one thing trying to break them up when it was just the two of them, but now there's a baby involved.

"Everything was perfect and we were happy and now everything's ruined and it's all Diana's fault. I thought she was my friend. Why would she do this to me?" He sobs and I pull him in closer. "Mike, you need to stop this. Look at what your doing to yourself"

"I don't care. Faith's gone..  I've lost her and my baby... nothing else matters anymore"

"Faith will come round" I try to comfort him "you think so?" He looks at me hopefully "mhm. Now you need to clean yourself up because she's not gonna want to see you like this" I reasure him and hope to myself that she really does cone round. "I just need to see her and tell her that I love her. I'm not gonna let her go. It's not gonna happen. I'm gonna make her listen somehow" he says getting up and starts getting agitated and pacing around. "And you will, but right now it's probably best you try and sleep off the alcohol before you do anything.

After convincing Michael to get some rest and head home. I feel bad leaving him, but right now the best thing he can do is try and sleep off the alcohol and by the state he was in, he looks like he'd been drinking for days.

Diana's POV

At at home and I get a call from my security letting me know Michael is at the gate. I'm unsure at first, but decided to let him in.

"I'm not here to fight with you, I promise" Michael mumbles walking in. "Michael. Please tell me you didn't drive yourself here?" I say concerned, seeing that he's wasted and looks really agitated. "I have a driver waiting outside. Faith still won't talk to me because of you" he croaks "I swear I had no idea she was pregnant and..."

"That shouldn't have mattered. Why would you do that to me?"

"It was for your own good. the two of you should have never been together. Not like that and.."

"That wasn't your decision to make. We were happy and we were in love and we were starting a family and..."

"And I'm sorry but.."

"But nothing. You lied and took away everything that was precious to me"

"I know and i'm sorry I lied, but..."

"So your admitting it? What you said to Faith was all lies?"

"Yes. You know it was a lie and..."

Before I can finish my sentence, Michael turns and walks out without another word, leaving me standing confused.

Faith's POV

We get home after a whole day of shopping and it felt great spending the entire day, just me and my mom.

We've only been home about five minutes before my mom's phone starts ringing. "That was Steve. There's some problem down at the office" she sighs. "What happened?"

"I'm not sure, but he says he needs to speak to me urgently about something, but couldn't say much over the phone so I'm gonna have to go down there" she rolls her eyes. "Ok, well i'll order the pizza and pick out a movie while your out" I smile through pursed lips. I'm disappointed she's going to her office after promising a girl's night just me and her, but she has spent the whole day with me which is rare anyway so I didn't make to big of a deal about it.

Shortly after my mom drives away, there's a knock on the door. "What are you doing here?" I frown seeing Michael standing on the other side. "I need to talk to you. I tried calling and..."

"Well I don't wanna talk to you. Leave me alone" I snap about to close the door, but he puts his hand in the way and pushes his way in. "Michael, what the fuck!? I just told you I don't..."

"What Diana said was all lies and I can prove that to you and..."

"I don't want to hear it any more" I cut him off "just leave me alone! And get out!"

I turn to walk away, but he grabs my arm pulling me back. "Your gonna listen to me whether you like it or not" he frowns and I pull away from him "I don't have to listen to shit! You can't just turn up at my house clearly drunk and demand that I talk to you!"

"This isn't your house. You live with me. And we're having a baby together and..."

"No, I left you! And what makes you think I even want your baby after you cheated on me and..."

"I DIDN'T! Diana was lying to break us up and..." he pauses at me and looks at me for a moment. "Y-you haven't done anything our baby have you? please tell me you haven't?"

"I haven't done anything yet and..."

"And you won't, because I won't let you and I won't let you leave me either" he frowns shaking his head and begins pacing around agitated "have- have you taken something!?" I frown seeing he's more than just drunk. Either he's taken something or gone completely crazy.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I love you and you love me and we're having a baby together and we're gonna get married too, remember?" He's says cupping my face and I can see in his eyes there's something more than just alcohol that's making him act this way.

He leans in to kiss me and I pull away nervously. "I'm gonna take you home" he says grabbing my arm and practically drags me upstairs.

"What hell!? Michael, your hurting me" I say trying to free my arm as he opens every door until he finds my room then stops to face me. "I'd never do anything to hurt you" he shakes his head holding my face in his hand. "I'm sorry for what I said about the baby. I didn't mean it" I say shakily trying to move away, getting even more scared. "I know you didn't. Your were just upset. It's ok I'm not mad at you" he smiles and pecks my lips. "Let's just get your stuff and we can go home and we can forget all about this" he says turning around to get my stuff. As soon as he walks away I quickly make a run for the door.

I get as far as the top of the stairs and Michael quickly catches up to me and grabs me from behind and coveres my mouth with his hand to stop me from screaming.
"Fine! Forget the packing. We'll just leave" he says dragging me down the stairs and out the back door and into the back of a car that's parked at the back of my house.

"Is everything ok?" The driver turns to us "Everythings fine! just drive!" Michael snaps at him while holding me down with his hand still over my mouth and the driver starts the car and quickly drives off.

****
We pull up at Michael's house and he pulls me out of the car and into the house, quickly locking the door behind us. I try to make a run for the other door, but again he quickly catches up to me pulling me up the stairs.

We get to his room and he locks the door putting the key in his pocket. "Please, let me go home" I sob and he walks over shaking his head. "Baby, your already home" he says softly, wiping my tears away. "I'm sorry for being so rough with you. I didn't mean to scare you" he says softly. "I was trying to get you to listen, but you wouldn't. Come and sit with me" he smiles through pursed lips and sits on the edge of the bed and pulls me gently onto his lap. "There's something I you need to hear" he says taking out his phone and I sit nervously listening to the recording of him and Diana talking

"I told you. Diana was the one lying not me"

"I'm sorry" I mumble shakily. "It's ok. We're back together now. That's all that matters" he smiles and I nod faking a smile.

He presses his lips softly against mine, leading us both down onto the bed and I move away slightly "what's wrong?"

"Um.. can I use the bathroom?"

"Baby, it's your house too. You don't have to ask" he chuckles slightly under his breath and moves away so I can get up.

I close the door and take out my phone to call my mom, but just as it starts ringing, Michael comes behind me taking it from me. "I- I was just..."

"Trust goes both ways you know" he says putting my phone in his pocket and walks out closing the door and I sit on the edge of the bath trying to think what to do. I've never seen Michael like this before and I've never been so scared of anybody. I didn't get a good look at who was driving the car, but I could tell it wasn't Michael's usual driver and the fact that he drove off clearly seeing I was struggling and trying to get away, means Michael and whoever that was must have planned this.

When I go back out Michael is putting on a movie. "C'Mon it's just about to start. He smiles laying back on the bed. "Um.... I'm really hungry" I lie and he nods getting up. "You wait here i'll go make you a sandwich" he smiles "can I come with you?" I ask as he's about to lock the door behind him and he opens it letting me out.

While Michael is making me something to eat, I quietly start walking around, making my way towards the front door.

I press the code to unlock it, but it doesn't work and try again and again it doesn't work. "What are you doing?" Michael says and I jump and turn to see him standing behind me. "Umm.. I was..."

"Your not leaving me again" he says shakily grabbing my arms and pulls me back up stairs to the bedroom and locks us both back in. "Michael, you can't just lock up me like this. My mom's gonna be home soon and..."

"Is that what all this is about? Baby, It's fine I sent her a message, while you were in the bathroom. She knows your ok"

"You did?"

"Mhm... so don't worry about it" he smiles pulling me in close to him.

********
Julie's POV

I get to the office's and everything is locked up and nobody's around and I call Steve to find out what's going on.

"I'm at the office where are You? You said you needed to speak to me about something"

"I did? Umm... I don't remember?" He stutters and I frown confused down the phone. "You called me and said it was urgent"

"I'm sorry I - I don't remember calling you" he stutters "so I came all the way down here for nothing!" I snap "Umm.. I guess"

I hang up the phone pissed at Steve for wasting my time. How the fuck he still has a job is beyond me.

I get home and the house is quiet and I look around for Faith, but she's not here. I'm about to call her and I notice I have a text message.

From: Faith
Moved back home with Michael and we've gone away for a few days :)

'That sneaky fucking bitch!" I say to myself realising that they obviously set up whatever the hell that was with Steve to get me out of the way long enough for her to leave.

I try calling her but her phones switched off so I call Jackie.

"I honestly don't know anything about it" Jackie says when I tell him. "Bullshit! You were probably in on it" I snap. "Julie, I swear I had nothing to do with it. I saw Michael this morning and he said they broke up and he hadn't seen or spoken to her in days"

"Well clearly they have if she's moved back in with him and they've both gone away for a few days!" I snap. "Well all I know is what Mike told me this morning and I haven't spoken to Faith in days. If I hear anything i'll let you know"

"Yeah, sure you will" I scoff "Julie, I swear to you I will. Faith is my daughter too you know. I get just as worried as you do when she disappears like this"

****
Faith's POV

"Why are you doing this?" I croak trying not to cry. "Because I love you and you told me you loved me too"

"I do love you but.."

"But what? Baby, We were so happy together and everything was perfect between us. Don't you want that any more?" He frowns confused and I nod nervously "then let's just forget all about the last few days" he smiles through pursed lips and kisses me softly, while undoing his belt.

*
Michael leads both onto the bed and moans slightly, kissing on my neck as he pushes himself inside of me, making me whince. "You want it a little softer, baby?" Michael whispers shakily, noticing my discomfort and I nod not saying anything. "Ok, we'll do it however pleases you" he says shakily and kisses me softly and starts thrusting slower.

Jackie's POV

I was really surprised about what Julie told me about Faith and Michael. Especially after seeing the state he was in this morning.

When Enid comes into the room I tell her about Michael and the phone call I just got from Julie.

"So they worked things out. A lot of couples break up and get back together" she shrugs unconcerned "You didn't see Michael this morning. He was a mess and it was weird the way He was so agitated and the way He was talking. He didn't sound right. Now all of a sudden everything fine and him and Faith are back together?"

"He was Probably acting weird because he was drunk and you said you put him to bed before you left right?"

"Well yeah but..."

"But nothing" she cuts me off "sounds to me like the sleep did him some good and cleared his head. Then went to talk to her"

"Maybe I should go over there" I say turning to leave "for what?"

"To check their ok. I can't explain it, but somthing doesn't feel right"

"But, you said Julie told you Faith text her and said her and Michael were going away for a few days. So there's no point going over there if their not home"

"I know but..."

"Faith's fine" she cuts me off "she already told her mother that and if there was a problem then she'd call. Your worrying over nothing" she tries to reassure me.
