Michael's POV

"awww.. do you really have to leave?" I pout playfully, pulling Faith back into me and she wraps her arms around my neck. "I wish I didn't, but they'll probably kick me out if I miss any more school" she sighs pecking my lips "great! Then you won't have to leave!"

"you have work to do remember?" She giggles. "oh yeah" I sigh playfully "then let's skip both and run away together. Just us"

"As tempting as that sounds, I really do have to go, I meet you later" she smiles and pecks my lips and I look at her confused. "I thought you were going to dinner with your mom and dad?"

"I am. And I'll meet you later"

"meet you where?"

"it's top secret, you'll find out later" she smiles. Then turns to leave "you can't say that and leave!"

"just did" she winks then leaves.

Faith's POV

I've been really nervous about going to dinner with my parents today. I haven't spoken to her since I went over that day. We've exchanged texts today about what time we're going to dinner tonight, but that's it which is really weird. She was so determined for me to come home and end things with Michael, but since last week she hasn't tried to call or anything. In a way I'm glad she's left us alone, but in another way it's strange she would back down so easily, especially about this which is why I'm so worried about tonight. I haven't spoke to my dad for awhile either which isn't anything new. I don't know if my mom has told him what's been going on or of she's even going to, but I know she's going to say something to me when I get to her house. I know she won't do it at the restaurant because it'll most likely end in and argument which she won't let happen out in public.

**********

Jackie's POV

I've been trying to call Michael all week and every time he keeps cancelling my calls and I know he knows I'm pissed which is why he isn't picking up. Whenever is go over to his house when I know Faith would be at school and out of the way, his security tell me he's already left. I tried again today and again he'd already gone didn't say where but I already knew where he'd go and I'm getting more and more pissed off with his games so I made my way over to the studio. If he wants to ignore my calls that's fine, but he's not getting out of this one. He's gonna speak to me whether he likes it or not.

*

I get to his studio and see his car parked outside and wait for him. I'm not gonna bother going inside to look for him, because he'll just hide and sneak out. So I'm gonna wait right here until he comes out.

**********

Michael's POV

I get in my car to leave the studio and just as I'm about to start the car, Jackie out of nowhere jumps into the passenger seat. "what the fuck are you doing!?" I frown confused. "you knew about Faith the whole time didn't you!?" He snaps ignoring my comment. "no" I shake my head innocently "Michael, don't fucking lie to me! Mother told me everything. Or are you calling her a liar?"

"it's not how it looks" I sigh "so you didn't go out of your way to find Faith and then fuck her knowing full well she was your niece. Then lie to me and pretend you didn't know then go out of your way to dodge me knowing I was pissed!?"

"ok, yes I did do those things, but it wasn't like that. When I found out about you being Faith's father, I only wanted to meet her and get to know her. I didn't wanna fall for her, but I did. I didn't go out of my way to do it. We fell for each other and there's not alot we can do about that. And you were fine with us being together when you first found out, so why are you so pissed now?"

"fine!? I was never fine with it! I just didn't want either of you to get hurt anymore than you already were that day and it turns out you already knew and you still did it! Do you know how sick that is? If I'd known this at the beginning I would have told you to break things off infact I would have dragged Faith away from you!"

"I'm not ending things with her" I shake my head "so if that's what you came here to say then your wasting your time" I shrug "what the fuck is wrong with you!? are you some kind of pervert that gets off on fucking his own niece?"

"of course not! We're together because we love each other And she's not my niece and we're not breaking..."

"like it or not Michael you and Faith share the same blood. You can't just decide who's your family and who's not, Faith's your niece and your her uncle now deal with it! and the sooner you break things off with her the better. Now do it and do it now, the longer your with her the more it'll break her heart when you end it!" he snaps and opens the door to leave then turns back. "and if the ever ignore my calls again. I will kick your ass!" Her says sternly then leaves slamming the door behind him and walks off. "fucking phycho" I mutter to myself once he's out of ear shot and start the car. I can't believe Jackie actually thought he could just storm over and tell me to break up with Faith and I'd just do it. I love Faith and we're together and he needs to deal with that!

**********

Faith's POV

When I get to my moms house she seems really calm, yet annoyed at the same time. "is my dad here yet?" I ask and she shakes her head. "he's on his way" she says in a neutral tone "Soo.. How's work?"

"fine"

"anything new around here?"

"nope" she says again in a neutral tone making me feel awkward. "why are you being like this?" I frown "oh I'm sorry, I'm I making you feeling uncomfortable? Maybe I should screw around with my cousin, would you feel better then?" She says sarcastically and I sigh rolling my eyes. "are you seriously gonna do this again?"

"do what? Try and make you see sense for once? This needs to end Faith and it needs to now"

"is my dad actually coming or did you just say that to get me here?" I frown "he'll be here when he gets here... You do realise how sick people are gonna think you both are if they found out?"

"don't care" I roll my eyes "and you and him could never have a family. Not a real one. Your blood which means you can't have a baby with him or get married"

"yes we can" I frown "no you can't. Jackie's your father which means you and Michael have the same DNA which mean no babies and it's actually illegal to do anything sexual with any relative which includes uncles. And incase you forgot. Your only 17 which is underage and in the eyes of the law that's rape! Look it up if you don't believe me. Surly Jackie told you both this" she smirks. "he's not my uncle and I haven't seen or spoken to Jackie" I lie. She about to speak when there's a knock at the door. "that'll be you dad" my mom says heading towards the door "which one?" I say sarcastically and she turns back to me "you better keep your mouth shut unless you want your dad to know what a perverted little slut his daughters become!" She hisses at me then puts on her fake smile as she opens the door to him.

***

We get the restaurant and my mom is still being snippy every time I say anything "so how's school?" My dad asks while we're waiting for the waiter to come over. "school's great" I smile "apart from the D- in history" my mom scoffs. "I get straight As in all my others" I shrug "so why can't you do that in history?" She raises and eyebrow at me. "because histories in the past and I only look to the future" I smirk. "and so you should" my dad smiles agreeing with me to the annoyance of my mother.

The waiter comes over and begins taking our orders. "would it be possible to have ketchup on my mashed potatoes?" I asks the waiter and he smiles and nods "why not? You do whatever you please anyway. May as well eat weird stuff too" my mother says sarcastically "I'll... Be.. Back with your food" the waiter stutters awkwardly leaving are table as fast as he can. "what the hell?" My dad turns to my mom confused. "what's the problem? She ordered something weird that doesn't go right together. It's disgusting and wrong" she shrugs "have I missed something?" He asks even more confused and she shakes her head "nope, everything's fine" she lies "so why have you been getting a Faith ever since we got here? She always likes mashed potatoes with ketchup, never bothered you before"

"well maybe she should learn to eat normal food like every body else instead of being weird and disgusting" she shrugs casually. "what's happened?" He sighs rolling his eyes and I'm about to speak, but my mom cuts me off "nothing's happened" she fakes a smile then turns to me and gives me a look not to say anything. "so why are you being so nasty towards Faith?" He frowns getting more annoyed. "I'll tell you why" I frown "Faith, not here" my mom frowns and I ignore her and turn back to my dad. "long story short, but my mom made me meet Michael Jackson so I could screw him over and it backfired on her when..."

"what!?" He snaps frowning at my mum "wait there's more. Michael and I are dating and sleeping together and then Jackie told me he was my real dad, which your already aware of... Unlike I was... And incase your wondering yes... Me and Michael are still together and living together and that's why moms being a bitch to me" I smile sarcastically.

"are you fucking serious!!!?" He snaps on a hush tone. "can we discuss this somewhere else?" My mom whispers "there's nothing more too discuss" I shrug "Faith I'm sorry we didn't tell you about Jackie, but you can't be with Michael that's the end of it!" my dad says then turns to my mom "and what the fuck we're you thinking letting them meet!?"

"how was I supposed to know the man was gonna try and have sex with her!?"

"you sent an attractive young girl to befriend a 23 year old man, what the fuck did you think was gonna happen!?"

"well I didn't think he'd sleep with his own niece!"

"he didn't know that just like me" I cut in. "of course he did! Why else would he want to spend so much time with you?" My mom frowns at me. "because you sent her to befriend him and clearly he didn't know you stupid bitch!" My dad hisses at her "so why is he still with her, huh? He knows now just like Faith does"

"Because we love each other and..."

"stay out of this you little brat! Are you happy now you've ruin dinner for everybody!?" My mom cuts me off "don't talk to her like that, this is your fault!

"me!? It's not my fault she can't keep her legs closed"

"like mother like daughter then!"

*

They continue arguing in hushed voices so nobody hears and eventually I get up and start making my way out the door and like always neither of them notice.

Michael's POV

I get out of the shower and see I have a text from Faith.

Faith: Come and meet me x

Michael: Where? X

Faith: You have to find me x

Michael: How? X

Faith: Try a map lol x

Michael: What map? X

Faith: Find a map x

Michael: From where? X

Faith: see you soon Xx

I start looking round the bedroom confused and there's a knock at the door. "hey, Faith asked me to give you this at 5pm" kai smiles handing me and envelope with a map inside with directions to somewhere. "did she say anything else?"

"have fun" she chuckles leaving the room, ignoring my question.

**

It's takes me awhile, but after following Faith's map I end up by a lake in the middle of the woods. "you took your time" I hear Faith's voice and smile turning around as she walks closer. "well you didn't make it easy to find you" I chuckle as she wraps her arms around me and I peck her lips. "that's what makes this place so special. Nobody knows it's here and nobody can bother us" she smiles taking my hand "what's here?" I look around confused. "the cabin" she motions me and I see a small cabin a little further into the woods.

**

"so if nobody's know about this place, how did you find it?" I ask looking around as Faith is coming back into the room with some food. "My great grandmother sent me a letter when I was about 10 and inside was a map"

"this map?" I smile handing it back to her and she nods. "mhm" she smiles through pursed lips. "was there a letter or anything?"

"nope, just a map" she shrugs "I thought you didn't know any of your parents family?" I frown confused. "I don't. I knew my great grandmother, but that was it"

"did she ever tell you why she sent it you?"

"she died before I had the chance, so I guess I'll never know" she shrugs and snuggles up beside me on the sofa. "do you come here often?"

"that's the cheesiest line ever" she smirks making me laugh then sits up. "I come here whenever I get sad or just need time away from the media or people in general"

"so nobody knows about it, not even your mom?"

"nope, just me and now you" she smiles pecking my lips, snuggling back into my arms.

*****

it's getting really late and Faith fell asleep in my arms shortly after we got into bed. I've had a great time being here with Faith especially by the lake. The whole night has been amazing, since I was a kid everywhere I've been I've been surrounded by people and constantly have security or the media around even at home I have staff and this is the first time that I can remember, that I've been alone and free to just be me without worrying about someone, taking pictures or running to the press every time I move. I've always been taught by my family and everybody around me to keep my guard up and I always have, but with Faith I never feel like I have to. Since the first time we met, there was something about her that instantly made me drop my gaurd and trust her. Before tonight there was no way in hell I would go all the way out into the middle of a woods by myself without security or even then for that matter, but I'm glad I did and Faith has no idea how much bringing me here means to me. And knowing that she trusted me enough to share this secret with me shows me she loves and trusts me as much as I love and trust her. She told me about what happened with her parents over dinner, she tried to act like it didn't bother her, but I know it did just like it bothers me. We're both aware not everybody is going to be happy about us being together. Well most people actually and we know alot of people will try and do and say things to break us up, but if they could see how much we truly love each other then maybe they'd understand. Faith and I are meant for each other I just know it.
