Love hurts?

You can do this

Michael's POV

This week has been a mixture of both relief and nervousness for Ocean and I . The police came over this morning to go through mine and Ocean's statements again and told us that both of our uncles will be taken in for questioning and most likely be detained while there's an investigation. They've warned us that they'd be a trail and that we'd both have to stand up and give evidence which I'm most scared about, having to stand up and tell a whole bunch of strangers every little detail about what happened, but my family have been really supportive and promised they'd be there with us the whole time.

Since what's happened, Nevaeh has been back with Ocean and I and Joesph has finally stopped locking up all the doors and windows and doesn't worry as much when we leave the house and got us both new phones to replace the ones he took. (for obvious reasons).

After I finish getting dressed I go downstairs and Ocean so sitting playing with Nevaeh. "everybody ready to go?" I smile. "all ready!" Ocean smiles back picking up Nevaeh. "where you guys going today?" LaToya asks coming into the room. "we're going to pick up the stuff for the party" I shrug. "when are you both gonna stop this whole Christian thing and come back to kingdom hall? You know how much it upsets mother. look how annoyed she was when Ocean had a birthday party" she sighs rolling her eyes. "they kicked us out remember? Why would we wanna go back?" I frown. "they only kicked you out because you were being stubborn and wouldn't admit you both sinned . Just admit it and apologise then can come back and..."

"we're not admitting or apologising for shit! So we had sex out of wedlock who cares? There's worst things we could have done" Ocean cuts in. "it was still a sin and just because you didn't rape or murder anyone doesn't mean it was ok and...I'm sorry I didn't mean..."

"yes you did" I mumble. "what's going on?" Joseph asks coming into the room. "nothing we're fine, we're gonna go pick up some stuff for Nevaeh's birthday party" Ocean smiles through pursed lips taking my hand. "call if you need me ok?" He says softly and I nod leaving the house with Ocean.

I don't say anything as we're driving to the store, still thinking about what LaToya said. "forget about her" Ocean says softly resting her hand on my thigh. "I didn't say anything" I shrug "you don't have to. Your thinking about what LaToya said"

"how did you..."

"we're soulmates remember?" She smiles softly. "why do you stay with me? You could do so much better than me" I mumble "because I love you, your the father of my children, you've been there for me through everything... A whole list of things" she shrugs "I forgave you a long time ago. It doesn't matter what LaToya or anyone else thinks"

"your not just saying that because your scared?"

"I'm saying it because it's the truth. No it wasn't ok what you did to me, but if you hadn't then we wouldn't have our two beautiful, amazing children and no I'm not scared of you. Why do you stay with me? You could do alot better than me too. Someone drama free or who doesn't go crazy" she giggles and I park the car as we get the store and lean over and peck her lips "I stay with you because of a whole list of reason and the main one is because I love you" I smile and kiss her softy "yak!" Neavah babbles frowning, making us both giggle.

Mollie's POV

I rememeber Robert saying that Michael's parents used to live next door to Ocean's parents and now live a just a few streets away. I managed to get hold of his address book and found his parents address so now I've been driving around hoping to see one of his family members so I can found out where Michael and Ocean are actually living.
