"Where are you going?" Sam asked as Leela walked to the door.
Leela smirked to herself "I'm going to see Cameron"
"What?" she shouted "Leela, you know what happened last time"
"Yes, I'm aware, but it's different this time, and I'm not a kid anymore. You can't stop me seeing him" Leela told her Mum.
"So that's why you and Ziggy broke up is it?" her Mum asked "Ziggy was good for you"
"Mum, I love Cameron, I've always loved him. I never ever hated him, even before I found out you set him up. I've never hated him Mum. I love him" Leela was on the verge of begging now; why was she even bothering? Her Mum would never accept her and Cameron, so why was she doing this? She wasn't asking permission, she was going to be with Cameron whether her Mum liked it or not.
"You haven't told him anything have you?" her Mum questioned.
"Because that would ruin all your hard work wouldn't it?" Leela snapped back.
"I did it for you. He couldn't just come back. I wasn't going to lose her" Sam said causing Leela to frown as Sam suddenly realised what she had said.
"What do you mean? Why would you have lost her? He wouldn't have come back, he was in prison and he never knew about Peri anyway"
Sam tried to back track but it suddenly dawned on Leela "Why would you have lost her Mum?" she asked fiercely.
"Leela, please, you have to understand I did it for Peri" her Mum said weakly.
"Did what?" Leela shouted in frustration.
"They were going to let him out, you were nearly due, and I couldn't let that happen" her Mum admitted.
Leela looked at her Mum in shock as she couldn't even think of anything to say, she realised she could have had a life with Cameron and their daughter but her Mum ruined it; she knew exactly what she was doing yet she still did it.
"If he got out he would have come straight back to you, you would have kept the baby" Sam was crying now but Leela didn't care "I was so excited to be a Mum again, I had 9 months to get my head around it and I was happy I was going to be a Mum again"
"You did this for you, not Peri, not me, no one but yourself, you stopped me being a Mother" Leela yelled "You stopped me from being with Cameron. We could have been a family"
"You wouldn't have coped, you were a kid. Having me and your Dad was the best thing for Peri" Sam shouted back.
Leela had heard enough so she just walked away.
Tears started falling down her face before suddenly they were streaming down and wouldn't stop, she heading towards the boarding house as she hoped Cameron wouldn't send her away.
Coming to the door she knocked, hoping Cameron would be the one to answer.
She waiting for a long while before the door opened revealing a shirtless Cameron, a towel hanging loosely around his waist.
"Yeah" he said without looking before turning around to see the person "Leela" he pulled her into a hug "What's the matter?" he asked as he pulled away to look at her and ran his fingers under the bottom of her eyes.
"Mum" she sobbed "She kept you away from me, she knew I was pregnant and she stopped you from getting out"
"What?" he asked as he pulled her into the house.
"She said they were going to release you" she cried "I was nearly due and they were going to let you out. We could have been a family"
Cameron just pulled her into his arms, letting her cry as he started to feel angry "Did you know they were going to realise you?" she asked as she held him tightly.
"I had no idea. I saw your Mum a couple of times but that's it. If I knew I would have been there for you"
"I know" Leela sobbed into his chest before pulling back, she wiped her eyes "She did it because she didn't want me to decide to keep my baby. The only reason I let Mum and Dad bring her up was because you were in prison"
"And if I got out it would have ruined that" Cameron concluded as he shook with anger "Lee, we need to get our daughter away from that woman"
Leela looked at him with a pained expression "I want that more than anything and I hate her for what she's done but we need to think of Peri..."
"We are. We will tell Peri the truth, tell her what your Mum did" Cameron pleaded.
"But she's 14, we can't just throw all that on her, she won't cope, please just think about it" Leela begged.
"I have thought about it, this afternoon when you left I thought about nothing else and now, now I know what she did to us, to you. We can't let her do this, she's a liar. She's lied to you and to Peri" Cameron told her.
"Mum won't just let us tell her" Leela said.
"That's why we won't tell your Mum"
"I don't know" she replied doubtfully.
