Secrets & Lies (COMPLETED)

25- "You've got to tell her Michael."

Lea's pov 

We just landed in Tampa, Florida, and this was the boys day off. Which means me and Ashton could hang out as "friends", hopefully without Michael knowing. We got to the rental house we we're gonna be staying at for the next few weeks. I smiled walking into the house, Baxter started running around in the living room. This is gonna be amazing.

"Okay, let's go over some things before we do anything else.", Michael said and we all sat on the couch, "alright, Lea, you and Sarah are gonna be spending so time together. And it's just because we're gonna be busy working on some new songs."

I looked over at Ash, and he gave me a small smile, and I looked back to Michael, "So, what are we gonna do while your working?"

"There's a pool out back, and we're pretty close for you guys to go to the movies or the mall."

I nodded and took my stuff up to the my room, which of course was right beside Michael's room. Figures. I decided I wanted to head out for a walk, and clear my head a little. I just wanted some time for myself I guess.

"Where are you going?", Michael asked, just as I was about to walk out the door.

"Can I not go for a walk?", I said getting an attitude with him.

"I just asked where you were going, since I am your brother and you're my responsibility."

"Why do you even care?"

"Because we're family. That's why!"

"Whatever.", I said and slammed the door to our hose and never looked back.

Michael's pov  

"You've got to tell her Michael."

I turned around and saw everyone in the living room. I slowly nod my head and walk into the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the fridge.

"She's not ready. I've told you this before Ashton."

"This has gone on too long, you have to tell her, or I will." 

I knew he was serious, because he was right. Lea and I have been fighting for too long, and I've lied to her too much. It needs to stop. But, I can't tell her, because I wouldn't live with myself if she got hurt by me telling her everything. 

"Fine, I'll tell her okay. Then she can hate me for the rest of my life."

"No, when you tell her, take her to see Willow."

Willow was Lea's real mom, before my parents adopted her. She lives in Miami and she said if my parents ever needed anything to see her. But taking Lea to see her, that might literally brake her. Willow had lea when she was 16, and I believe she's married now with two little boys.

"You know how much that would brake her Ash. I'm trying to protect her from our parents."

"I know, but she's gonna find out one way or another."   

"Yeah, I guess.", I said and walked away from talking more about the situation, and headed upstairs.

Hey guys.

Michael dude, you've got to grow a pair of balls and tell your sister the truth, or you can just live with the lie about her life forever. If I were you, I would tell her.

Love you all, Mikayla
