Selfish

Joesph's POV

Despite the amount of times Michael confidently tried to reasure me that I had nothing to worry about, I didn't sleep last night worrying that Leanne would snap again, because the way she was acting was so cold and uninterested on what happened to Mary and when I heard her downstairs my first thought was that Leanne had turned on Michael and done to him what she did to Mary and I could see by the look on their faces and the way they all rushed downstairs, that the others thougt the same, but when we got down there and saw the two of them together it was like she'd only just realised what she'd done and she looked terrified.

We didn't go back to the house last night because not only were we worried about what Leanne may do, but we were and still are trying to get our heads around what's happened. It's the next morning and Tito, Randy and Jermaine have come over and we're all in the living room still trying to figure out what to do next.

"I still don't get why she didn't just tell the truth in court" Jermaine says "why go through all this when Mary would have been locked up"

"Obviously she's flipped" Randy cuts in. "But sitting here asking 'why?'' Isn't gonna do anything. The fact is, Mary's over there and we need to do something about it"

"And what exactly are we suposed to do? It's not like we can just walk out of the house with her"

"I don't know, but we can't just leave a dead body lay in the middle of a kitchen floor either" I cut in. "Why didn't Michael do something about it last night then?"

"Because he was more concerend about Leanne and now she's calmed down. We're gonna go back to the house and deal with Mary"

"Where's Michael now? He can't just expect us to deal with this"

"He's upstairs with Leanne right now, but he's gonna go back to the house with you guys" LaToya cuts in. "Is that really a good idea, leaving the two of them alone up their?" Jermaine asks. "She's not gonna do anything to Micheal. If she was then she would have done something last night" Janet cuts in "and the way she's acting around him, it's pretty obvious she won't"

"How is her following him around everytime he moves proof she's not gonna do anything? He can't even go to the bathroom without her following behind him?" LaToya frowns. "Well obviously she feels safe around him and it doesn't seem to be bothering Michael that she keeps follow in him around the house" Janet shrugs.

"Maybe I should stay behind. Just incase" Jermaine says nervously. "Its fine the girls are gonna stay here while we're gone and Michael's coming with us" I cut in. "But what of she tries to do anything to them? She's killed one person. Who's to stop her doing it again?"

"She's not gonna over power 3 people is she?" Randy says and Jermaine doesn't say anything for a moment.

"I don't wanna go ok?" He sighs. "And you think we do?" I frown. "I can't do it, I'm sorry I can't go there what if she's not really dead like in the movies or something?"

"Trust me she's definitely dead"

"I'm sorry, but I can't go. I'll stay here and help the girls keep and eye on Leanne, but I can't be around a rotting dead body" he shivers. "Oh my god! Quit being a wuss" Tito rolls his eyes. "Call me whatever you want, but I'm not going" he shakes his head nervously.

"Fine whatever. You stay here" I sigh then turn to the others. "We need to figure out what to do before we get there"

Michael's POV

Leanne and I are sitting on the bed eating cereal and she still hasn't said much since she broke down last night.

"Thanks for staying up here with me" she mumbles, putting her empty bowl on the floor. "It's fine" I smile slightly, putting my bowl down too and sit back on the bed with her. "But you know, you don't have to stay up here right? Nobody's gonna hurt you" I say softly. "They don't want me here" she mutters. "Their just still in shock is all. If they didn't want you here then they wouldn't have let you stay last night or come downstairs to make sure you were ok"
