Don't go

Leanne's POV

I'm in the shower thinking about everything that's just happened and even though it hurt me to talk about it and I'm angry with the way Michael yelled at me and made me feel like I had to tell him, I'm glad I did because now everything between us is out in the open and we no longer have any secrets from each other, except for one and that's how a truly feel about him, but that's something I'm not ready to tell him yet, because I really don't think I could handle that kind of rejection of he doesn't feel the same. I know he feels sorry for me and cares about me, but I doubt he loves me the way I love him.

After my shower I go into the bedroom and Michael is lay on his side on the bed. "Your still not ready yet?" I say walking over to him and see he's crying. "What's wrong?" I ask softly, gently wiping his tears. "I'm sorry" he sobs. "If I'd had gotten there earlier you wouldn't have had to go through that. It's all my fault and I'm so sorry" he sobs and I take his hands lifting him up off the bed so he's sat facing me. "Michael, you need to stop blaming yourself. none of that was your fault. That was Mary and those men's doing not yours" I say softly and pull him in close to me. "You saved me from who knows what else would have happened to me if I was still there. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here right now" I smile slightly through pursed lips and he smiles back the same way. "Now come on. It's time to get ready. You don't wanna be late for the opening" I smile changing the subject. "We don't have to go if you don't feel up to it"

"Well I do and you need to be there. This is your grand opening remember? Plus you don't wanna leave tomorrow on a downer"

"I can't leave you! Not after what's just happened" he shakes his head and I sigh heavily. "But it hasn't just happened. It happened almost a year ago. Its in the past. Just like that conversation now is. And you need to go to rehab tomorrow. You've put it off for too long now"

"I know and I will get help. I promise, but I don't feel right leaving you alone after what you've just told me"

"Which is one of the reason I didn't want to tell you"

"What's the other reason?" He asks "because I knew you'd get upset and blame yourself for something that wasn't your fault"

"But it was. Because I pointed you out that day and..."

"And that's also in the past" I cut him off "And just like everything else you need to leave it there and move forward... and you can start by getting dressed. Because you have a hotel to open in a few hours" I chuckle that last part changing the topic.

Lisa's POV

I'm in my room packing for my overnight job tonight, when Mary walks in.

"There's a client waiting downstairs that's asked for you"

"But I though I was doing an over night job tonight?"

"You are the customer didn't request you stay clean. So you can work up until it's time to go" she says casually. "But it's Saturday and it's supposed to be my day off and..."

"And now your working" she cuts me off. "But I haven't had a day off all month and..."

I'm cut off when out of nowhere, Mary slaps me hard across the face. "Are you answering back to me!?" She snaps and I don't say anything holding the side of my face. "Incase you've forgotten you belong to me now and I decide whether or not you or any of these other little whores that belong to me get a break. Do you understand!?" She frowns and I nod. "Good. And you should be greatful I'm such a nice person and let you have days off and even hour long breaks between men in the first place. Now clean yourself up and get downstairs. You have 5 minutes or you'll be getting alot more the a little tap on the face" she says sternly and walks out of the room.
