Leela's POV
I was sat in Trevor's office waiting for him when my phone went off, signalling I had a message. I took my phone out of my bag and read the message, it was from Dad
Where are you?
I just tossed my phone on the desk and let out a sigh. I could feel the tears burning at the back of my eyes, threatening to spill.
I looked around the desk and started rooting through the draws, out of boredom. When is he going to be back? It was just gone midnight and I wanted to go, but I didn't want to go home, not now, not ever, but I knew I would have to eventually.
My phone went off again and this time it was from Ste.
Come home x
I smiled; despite everything I had come to love my brother, he seemed to really care for me; he was the big brother I always dreamt of having as a little girl.
I started typing a reply back.
I can't. Gonna stay at a mates.
I put my phone in my bag and walked over to the couch in the corner of the room and sat there, curling my legs under me, hoping Trevor would be back soon...
I didn't know if I was dreaming, but I felt someone lift me into their arms...
Trevor's POV
I arrived back at the club at about quarter to 2 in the morning.
"Alright" I said to one of the barmen who was clearing away behind the bar.
"Hey" he said and I looked to the shut office door.
"She came out yet?" I questioned.
"Not that I've seen" he replied as he continued tidying away.
I walked into the office and saw Leela there, looking so peaceful, lying there asleep with her lips parted slightly. I could hear her gentle breathing and I couldn't bring myself to wake her. From the short time I've known her I came to realise that she was special, but I would never admit this to anyone, not even her, I couldn't go there, I'm bad and I don't want to bring her down with me, but something always brought us together.
I walked over to her and brushed a bit of hair out of her face, being careful not to wake her; I carefully lifted her into my arms and carried her out of the club.
