Chapter
16
Michael got into his car and started the
ignition. He pulled out of the movie studio parking lot and his cell phone
started to ring. He pulled it out of his pocket and fliped it open as he kept
his eyes on the road.
"
Hello?" He said.
"
Hey michael its max remember from high school"
"
Yeah i remember you, how've you been?" Michael asked as he stopped at a
red light.
"
Good how about you?"
"good,

"was,
i was dating Leah till she..why?"
"i'm
looking for Mel and I know Leah knows where she is but I don't know where Leah
is but I know your dating her"
"WAS"
Michael cut in as he drove off
"was
sorry so are you gonna tell me where Leah is?"
"shes
in Orlando" Michael sighed "with him"
"with
who?" Max asked
"Aj
a damn backstreet boy" Michael said pulling into the 4 car garage of his
condo. He steped out the car and closed the door. Max cringed when he heard
that. Only one name came to his mind. NICK CARTER
"Max..you
still there?" Michael asked
"uh
yeah just so do you have a number or address?"
"yeah,
yeah i do but if i give you this info what am i getting in return?"
Michael asked
II+I+II+I+II+I+II+I+II+I+II+I+II
Leah
sat out by the pool soaking up some sun while Aj was at the studio with the
guys. She stood up and walked to the pool jumping in she started to swim a few
laps. The phone started to ring but she continued to swim. whoever it was if it
was important they would call back later. The phone rang again..and again...and
again....and again. frustrated Leah got out the pool and walked over to the
table where the cordless phone laid. She picked it up and clicked it on.
"hello?"
"Leah?"
"who
is this?" Leah asked
"it's
Max how are you"
"Max
how the hell did you get my number?"
"a
little friend of mine gave it to me" Max said
"what
do you want?" Leah asked
"Mel"
"what?
what do you want with Mel?" Leah asked as she wraped the towel that hung
over the chair around her waist.
"Leah
I just want to talk to her thats all i swear"
"why
should I believe you Max?"
"because
i love her and i want to tell her"
"Max
shes happy just leave her alone"
"Leah
please I love her and i just want to tell her that. if she doesn't feel the
same i'll back off i promise"
"bullshit
you'll hurt her again like you've done before and this time i'm not gonna let
you do it Max" Leah said and clicked off the phone. A second later the
phone rang again.
"what!"
Leah yelled
"Leah
please" Max pleaded
"Max
i..i can't"
"Leah
please I just want to make sure that she and my baby are ok"
'how
did he know about the baby' Leah thought
"Max
i can't give that out without talking to Mel about it first"
"NO!
you can't.. i mean don't i just want to talk to her leah i swear i'm not going
to hurt her just talk to her"
"fine
i'll give you her number but thats it"
"good

"356-8790"
Leah said not thinking this was a good idea
"now
can I have the address?"
"No
Max i said i would give you her number and thats it"
"goddamnit
Leah, hold on a sec someone wants to talk to u" Max said. Leah heard
voices on teh other line but the voice that picked up the phone wasn't who she
was expecting.
"hello
Leah"
"Michael?"
"so
you havent forgotten me"
"what
do you want"
"the
address of course" Michael said
"Michael
what are you doing with Max hes nothing but trouble"
"I
love trouble.. now can I get the address?" he asked for the second time
"No
you can't" She heard Michael sigh on the other end
"Leah
if you don't give it to me i'd hate to see anything happen to you or your pop
star boyfriend"
"is
that a threat"
"take
it how you wanna but i'm gonna get it with or without your help but it'll be a
lot easire with your help" Leah looked behind and around her and walked
into the house locking the padio door. She walked into the kitchen and rushed
into the front room. The double glass doors were locked and she walked to the
windows looking out before pulling the curtains over them.
"why
so paranoide Leah all alone in the big house"
"don't
call here anymore" Leah said and hung up the phone.
"oh
god Mel" she picked the phone back up and dialed Mels number but got no
answer.
"shit"
leah cursed she threw the phone down and cried. "what did she just her and
Mel into"

Mel
walked towards the door two brown grocery bags in her arms. She sat one down as
she opened the door. four yapping dogs rushed to her feet.
"hey
guys" she greeted the yapping dogs as she walked into the kitchen with the
bags. Sh estarted to unload the food just as the doorbell rang. She walked out
the kitchen the four dogs following closely behind her. She got to the door and
opened it. She stared blankly at the figure infront of her.
"M.m
Max what are you doing here?" Mel asked
