Love hurts?

I did it for you

Michael's POV

we're all at the breakfast table eating breakfast and I notice my dad keep glancing over at me. He knows I was up to something last night, but doesn't know what. I don't feel bad or guilty about what I did, but I've been trying my best to avoid being alone with him all morning. There's a knock at the door and everyone looks at each other confused and my dad gets up to answer it. "who could that be so early?" My mother frowns. "Michael can you come out here please?" My dad says calm yet sternly and I walk into the living room and he's standing there with two police officer's. "can you please tell me what this is about?" My dad asks. "there was a serious attack on a Mr James white and we'd like to ask your son a few questions about it" one of the officers explains "I haven't left this house since yesterday afternoon, so I don't know anything about it" I shrug "nobody said when he was attacked" the second officer frowns. "when did it happen?" My dad asks "in the early hours this morning" the first officer says "and like he said he was here the whole time"

"what's going on?" I hear Ocean ask coming into the room. "somone attacked James last night" I explain to her. "what's that got to do with Michael?"

"well he has been well known by us for his violent outbursts... Especially when things don't go his way" the second officer says with a smirk. "well Michael's been with me the whole time"

"and where were you yesterday?" He asked suspiciously "here, then court and back here and Michael has been with me the whole time" he's about to speak but my dad cuts him off. "they've already told you where they were and they know nothing"

"a man was viscously attacked, we have to look into these things... Regardless of any crimes they may or may not have done in the past" the first officer says calmly. "and we understand completely, but I'm sorry you had a wasted journey. My son and his wife have already told you, they were here all night"

"we still need to ask you to come down to the station" he insists "but he hasn't done anything!" Ocean snaps at him. "baby, it's fine. I'll be back soon I promise" I reassure her and peck her lips before going with the officers.

Ocean's POV

After Michael leaves with the officers Joseph and I turn to go tell the others what's happened and their all standing behind the door. "I'm guessing you guys heard all that?" I sigh walking into the room "why are they blaming Michael? He was here the whole time" Kathrine says confused "well he did threaten to murder him in court when they found him not guilty" Randy shrugs "he was pissed off! Who wouldn't have been" Joseph defends him. "he does have a pretty short temper though" LaToya mumbles under her breath. "he didn't do it! He was here with us last night" I frown. "somebody probably found out about James being a peadophile and that's who attacked him" I shrug "there's probably a whole bunch of people lining up to take a swing at that guy now they know what he is" Randy agrees with me. "I'm gonna call Jason" I say taking out my phone and LaToya looks at me confused "why would he need a lawyer if he's not the one who attacked him"

"because they wanna question him and Michael won't talk until a lawyer gets there" I explain "why not? If he has nothing to hide" she shrugs at me "because, Michael is a stubborn pain in the ass. That's why"

after I've finished my call with Jason, I go upstairs and start getting Nevaeh dressed. "is there something you wanna tell me?" I hear Joseph and jump slightly, turning round to face him "um, no why?" I mumble confused. "you didn't seem that surprised that two police officers just took your husband away for assaulting someone"

"they just want to question him and that's all" I shrug "and what was that about him being known by the police for his violent outbursts?"

"nothing" I mumble picking Nevaeh up off the bed. "what violent outbursts?" He asks and I sigh and take a deep breath. "when we were gone for those months and we were.. You know.. He got arrested a few times for assault and robbery. We didn't tell you because we just wanna forget about all that stuff"
