Michael's POV

So, things have been looking up for me in the past few weeks The press has let up on me, and I've even been thinking about the next album Most importantly, me and Shayne are getting closer, if that's possible

Me and her were sitting on the couch in front of the big window, watching the rain fall She had her legs on my lap and was laying on her back

Shayne: This is my favorite thing about Neverland

Michael:(Smiles) You can see rain anywhere silly

(She lifted her leg up and kicked my thigh. I hissed and she laid it back down.)

Shayne: I meant the way it looks, dumbass.!!

Michael:(Laughs) My bad.!

(She laughed and put her arm behind her head. I started to rub her legs.)

Michael: Well, you know what I like.?

Shayne: What.?

Michael: Being here, with you

Shayne:(Giggles) Flattery will get you everywhere

(I laughed and shook my head)

Michael: Shay, I'm serious

(She sat up and looked me in the eye)

Michael: You know, I never really thanked you for being here with me

Shayne: Mikey, you didn't have to I'd never leave you alone like that

Michael: Still, I wanna thank you....... How about I take you to dinner.?

Shayne:(Smirks) Are you asking me on a date, Mr. Jackson.?

(I thought about it and smiled)

Michael: I guess I am Now, how about it, Ms. Matthews.?

Shayne:(Laughs) I'd love to

Michael: Good

(She leaned in and kissed me passionately. She threw her arms around my neck and I put mine around her waist. I pulled her closer and kissed back. I moved down and started to kiss her neck.)

Shayne:(Moans) Michael.....

(She tangled her fingers in my hair. All of a sudden, the door bell rung.)

Michael:(Stops) Someone's at the door

Shayne: They'll go away Now, come here

(She pulled me back to her and we kissed again. She started to unbutton my shirt when the doorbell rang again, multiple times. I pulled away and groaned)

Michael: It's probably important....I'll be right back, OK.?

Shayne:(Pouts) Ok

(She put her head down and I sighed. I lifted her head back up by her chin)

Michael: Hey, don't be sad After I answer the door, I'll come back and we can continue where we left off, (Kisses her softly) OK.?

Shayne:(Smiles) Ok

(I got up and walked to the door, buttoning my shirt back up. I opened it and saw a man standing there with two police officers behind him.)

Michael: Yes.?

Man: Hello Mr Jackson I'm DA Edward Howard and I have a warrant for you

Michael:(Shocked) For my arrest.?

DA Howard: No For a strip search

(My eyes bugged out of my head and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Shayne and Julie came up behind me.)

Julie: What's going on here.?

DA Howard: We have a warrant for the strip search of Mr. Jackson Boys

(The two officers came forward and grabbed my arms. They led me to a police car.)

Julie: Michael, I'll meet you at the station, OK.?!

(I nodded and they put me in the car. They started the car and drove away. 45 minutes later, we pulled in front of the police station. I got out and they escorted me into the station. They walked me into a room that had nothing in it but a chair.)

DA Howard: Wait here

(I sat in the chair and sighed heavily. How can they do stuff like this.? This is complete bullshit, excuse my French I waited for about an hour until three guys in suits walked back in the room. One of them had a camera.)

Guy #1: Please undress Mr. Jackson

(I closed my eyes and I felt a tear slip down my face. Why, God.? Why.?! )

Shayne's POV 3 Hours Later

It's 5 in the evening now and Michael still hasn't come back Julie left right after them to try to stop them I hate that they keep doing this to him He's a sweetheart and would never do anything to hurt someone, let alone a child

It was still storming out and I was losing it All of a sudden, I heard a car motor outside I jumped up and ran to the window Julie and Michael were getting out of the car I walked back to the living room and pretended I was reading a book The door opened and closed and they walked in I stood up

Shayne: Hey What happened.?

(Michael sniffled and speed walked out of the room. I looked at Julie, who looked like she wanted to cry herself.)

Julie: We couldn't stop it

(I felt a tear slip down my face. I walked up the stairs and started looking for Michael.)

Shayne: Michael.?!  Sweetie.?!

(I looked in about 3 rooms until I heard sniffling. I opened the door to his bedroom and saw him laying on the bed, crying. I walked over to the bed and got on it. I pulled Michael into me and he laid his head on my chest.)

Shayne: It'll be OK baby

Michael: I.... have never...... been.... so humiliated.... in my entire.....life

Shayne: I know honey I know

Michael: How could they do.... that.?

Shayne: I don't know I wish I could have stopped it

Michael: Shay,..... I can't take much more of this

Shayne:(Sighs) I don't know if I can either

(He continued to cry and I held him until we both fell asleep.)
