Flashback
"He's back" she heard her Mum say frantically as she listened in on a conversation between her Mum and Dad.
"Who's back?" he Dad replied as he sounded distracted.
"Him... Cameron, he's back Danny, I thought I got rid of him for good but he's back, what are we going to do? He could ruin everything" he Mum said as she heard her cry.
"Hey, it's okay. Leela hates him. She won't tell him anything" her Dad assured.
"But what if he figures it out, a 14-year-old girl suddenly appears, looks a bit suspicious doesn't it. We can't let him know" Sam said.
"For all he knows Peri could be ours" she heard her Dad say "She is ours, we brought her up, she's our little girl and nothing is going to change that"
"I can't take that chance. I did this for us, and Leela will realise that one day" she heard her Mum say "I'm not letting him ruin this for us"
What did she do? Leela thought as she moved slightly, Danny looked at her and suddenly they stopped talking so Leela came into view "What did you do?" she asked as she walked downstairs.
Her Mum didn't answer "MUM" she shouted "Tell me what you did?" she walked closer to the woman she called Mum and looked her in the eyes "I know this is about Cameron" she said angrily.
"Leela, calm down" he Mum begged "We took Peri, we raised her. We did it for you, for us, for the family"
"That's not it, you did something, you never liked me and Cameron together, and he conveniently gets sent to prison" Leela said. "Bet you were well happy when he got put away" she spat at her Mum.
"Leela, please, I did it for you, you where too young, I did it to try to protect you" her Mum told her.
"What?" Leela asked with a puzzled look "It was you" she shouted accusingly at her Mum.
Sam looked at Danny with a pleading as he said her name softly "OKAY" Sam shouted "I set him up, but don't you see? I did it for you. I didn't know you were pregnant. You were 14 for god sake, I didn't think my daughter was going to come home pregnant" she spat the words at the end with disgust.
"Oh, well I'm sorry to be such a disappointment to you. I wouldn't put it past you to have known I was pregnant, you just did it to take my baby away from me didn't you?"
"No" Sam screeched before slapping her daughter hard across the face.
"SAM" Danny called out
"I hate you" Leela spat, holding her cheek before leaving out of the door as tears started to fall.
End of Flashback
Leela snapped out of her thoughts as she heard a knock at her bedroom door.
"What?" she shouted in frustration as she wiped the few tears that had fallen from her eyes.
The door opened and Peri walking in "Sorry, thought you were Mum"
Peri smiled sympathetically before walking over to the bed and sitting down "What's up?" Leela asked.
"Well, I kinda wanted to speak to someone" Peri said, looking up at her 'sister' "I didn't want to speak to Mum, I mean I love her and that but she's so hard to talk too and she's so embarrassing sometimes..." she trailed off.
"What do you want to speak about?" Leela asked her 'sister' with a small smile.
"Okay, so there's this boy..." Peri trailed off.
"Ooo" Leela said, pulling her legs up to her chest "Do I know him?"
Peri looked down shyly "Hey don't be embarrassed. So this boy..." she encouraged her to continue.
"Yeah, I really like him, but I don't know if he likes me" Peri said.
"Who is he?" Leela asked with excitement but Peri frowned "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to"
"It's Tom" Peri admitted warily.
Leela just smiled at her "Just tell him and ask him if he likes you too" Leela offered.
"But what if he doesn't?"
"Well then at least you'll know" Leela said "Plus, I think he likes you"
"You do?" Peri asked as she looked up, a grin spread across her face.
"I see the way he looks at you Pez, I'm positive" Leela squeezed Peri's hand causing her to smile "Thanks" Peri got off the bed and walked to the door.
"Hey Pez, why did you tell me and not Mum?" Leela asked curiously.
"Because she's Mum" Peri replied, pulling a face
Leela laughed at her response "I love you Pez"
"Love you too" Peri said before leaving the room.
