The weekend came around relatively quickly for Leo. He'd only talked with Mrs Mulgrew the once, choosing instead to avoid her whenever she came to look for him. Leo knew his Dad and Justin weren't happy about that but Leo just couldn't face talking to her again. Not after practically gelling her the reason he self-harmed was because of his Mum and Justin's reaction to their dad's leaving. That was one thing he couldn't talk about even if it played on the edges of his mind as they drove to the clinic.

Leo just kept thinking that if they'd handled everything better then maybe he wouldn't have done this. He knew he was worried about his mum being in that clinic and that Justin's anger had made him a little more cautious around his brother than he usually would be. Maybe that was why he'd done it. But Leo was didn't see the point in telling anyone else that. If he knew then he could help himself qso in theory he didn't need anyone elses help.

"You okay back there?" Vaughan turned around to face his youngest son.

"I'm fine dad, atop worrying." Leo replied, forcing a smile. He was nervous to see his mum, worried she'd guess what he'd done.

"alright then." Vaughan replied, obviously not happy. Honestly, Leo didn't know what else they wanted him to do. He'd started eating properly again, even when he wasn't hungry he forced down at least half of what Allie gave him. And he'd made an effort to talk, even if he preferred to be quiet. Anyway, he'd stopped self-harming more or less now. True, when was stressed he'd sometimes find himself picking at an old scar until it bled again but he didn't use the razor. Though that might have had something to do with all the razors being hidden from him than actually not wanting to do it.

The last week had been tough in its own way though. At home, Vaughan and Justin would treat him as if he was going to break while Allie constantly tried to get him to talk. Tiffany and Floyd wouldn't even look him in the eye sometimes. It was like he was being treated as a child.

School wasn't much better. The teachers hovered a little too much and the gossip had only dyed down a little. Hopefully by the time the next t week came around, it would be gone completely. But Leo knew that wasn't going to happen. His self-harming would live with him forever now. And not just the scars.

...

Olga was hugging her two sons when Vaughan finally walked in. He'd been talking to the doctor about how she was doing but he knew it was partly a way of him holding back having to see her again. She looked healthier though. Better than she had at least. And he could tell already that both Leo and Justin were also happier seeing Olga. That in itself managed to quench Vaughan's own discomfort about seeing his ex wife.

"Olga."

"Vaughan." He took a seat opposite her and their sons, listening to their talk. As they talked, however, value Vaughan found his thoughts wandering to other things. Mostly an inner debate in whether he should tell Olga about what Leo had done. After all she was Leo's mother and had a right, more time Han Allie did, to know. But he'd promised Leo he wouldn't say anything and he couldn't break his youngest sons trust when he was just getting better.

"I think your father's zoned put on us. Our conversation must be too Boeing for him." Olga said, pulling Vaughan from his thoughts.

"No just thinking."

"About how good it is to have our family together again." Justin replied an Vaughan felt a tinge of guilt. He should have stayed in the car instead of coming in. Who knows what they might think of that. Justin especially hadn't yet come to grips with the fact that Vaughan and Olga where never getting back together.

"How at ut you tell your mum how schools going?" Vaughan said, quickly changing the subject.

Olga and the boys Talked a while longer, Vaughan occasionally adding something in before it was time to leave. "We'll come back next week won't we dad?" Leo's voice was so full of pleading that Vaughan couldn't help but agree. He knew it was a commitment he shouldn't make but Leo already looked so much better having seen his mum again that Vaughan couldn't refuse.

"So I'll see you again next week." Olga said, leaning in towards him. The boys had already headed to the car so it was just the two of them.

"It seems like it." Vaughan replied, slowly backing away from Olga. He did g want to hurt her feelings by saying something but he knew she still loved him.

Before he could say anymore however, Olga leaned in and kissed him. Vaughan was in a state of shock so it took him a little while to fully process what Olga was doing but when he did he gently pulled her off him. "We can't." Vaughan told her.

"Dad?" Leo's voice appeared before Olga said anything.

"We have to go." Vaughan told Olga, guilt welling up as he walked past her and towards Leo. His youngest son looked utterly confused as to what had happened but Vaughan said nothing as he walked down the stairs back to the car.

"Why did you kiss mum?" if this was Justin, Vaughan knew he'd be asking how Allie might feel about this but this was Leo, who knew his parents weren't getting back together.

"She kissed me." Vaughan told him, motioning for Leo to come down the stairs. "Me and your mum aren't getting back together you understand that."

"But you kissed her." Leo said, confusion laced in his voice. Slowly, Vaughan pulled his sons hands away fro. Where they gone under his shirt sleeves.

"she kissed me. You can't tell anyone about that, Leo and I'm sorry you saw that but me and your mum are not getting back together." Vaughan told him as Leo slowly nodded. "Come on, we should get back into the car." Leo only nodded, slowly following Vaughan outside.

As they walked, all Vaughan could think about was how badly he'd messed up. Because he knew that while the kiss wasn't his fault he shouldn't have let it happen, it wasn't like he hadn't expected it. And he certainly shouldn't have let Leo see it happen.

Shorter than usual but didn't want to add anymore into it. Also, I know it's Justin who sees the kiss in the show but I wanted it to be Leo for purposes you will find out in the next few chapters.

Anyway, thanks for Reading and please review:-D
