Leela's POV
I walked the short distance to my house and I could hear the shouting before I even opened the door. Great.
I went to open the door but before I could it came open, and Tegan came out with Rose in her carrier.
"Good luck" Tegan whispered to me before walking off with Rose.
"She returns" my Dad said as I walked in the door.
"Don't you dare get on your high horse after what you're done, how could you Dad?"
"I'm so sorry Lee, I never meant to hurt the family" he said in a pleading tone.
"Yeah well, bit late for that" I told him in a harsh voice, just then Mum came down the stairs.
"You ain't chucked him out yet?" I questioned her in an angry tone.
"Leela, this isn't just about me, I have to think about Peri too" she told me with a sigh.
"Anyway, are you going to tell me why you stayed at Trevor's last night?" she asked, sounding unhappy about it.
I stayed quiet and Mum must have misread my silence.
"Leela, you didn't, did you?" she said with disappointment.
"No and like it's any of your business if I did" I replied, feeling irritated.
"He's bad news, I keep telling you, why won't you listen?"
"Mum save it, maybe you should focus on your life rather than mine" I said, I knew I sounded a bit harsh but I was so sick of this, the same broken record, again and again "We're friends okay, you gonna have to get used to it"
"Okay, but just be careful, he's done some pretty bad things" she told me in a more caring voice.
"Yes Mum, I'll be fine, besides I know people who've done worse" I said, looking at Dad.
"I will never forgive you" I told him with so much venom and then I went upstairs, deciding to take a shower.
"She'll calm down" I heard Mum say.
...
I came out of the bedroom and heard voices, Dad was talking to someone. I peaked my head around the corner, making sure I went unnoticed.
"I never wanted her to find out like this" I heard my Dad say to the other person, which I presumed was this John-Paul guy.
"How did you think she was going to find out? She was always going to get hurt, you should have told her sooner"
"I know"
"3 months Danny, it was 3 months, you should have told her sooner"
"I know, ok, I know John-Paul, I know, I messed up, but please don't let this ruin us"
"I can't, what about your wife and kids, I can't be that person again, after Craig, I promised myself I wouldn't be that person again"
"I love you" my Dad said, taking his hand.
"I love you too" I saw my Dad lean in to kiss him and I couldn't take anymore, I went to my room and slammed the door shut.
A few minutes later I walked downstairs, to see Dad and John-Paul kissing, they broke apart when they saw me.
"Oh, don't let me stop you" I said with a fake smile.
"Where are you going?" my Dad asked as I started to walk out of the backdoor.
"Anywhere away from you" I said, slamming the door shut.
...
I was wondering around the village trying the clear my head.
"Leela..." I looked up and saw Ste with Leah and Lucas.
"Hi" I smiled at my brother "Hey you two" I said, looking down at Leah and Lucas.
"Hey aunty Leela" Lucas said.
Lucas started calling my aunty Leela since he got told I was his Daddy's sister, but Leah, I don't quite know, she very rarely talked to me and when she did she just called me Leela.
"You alright?" Ste asked.
"Yeah, never better" I replied, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"What's happened?" he questioned.
I looked at the kids.
"Hey kids, why don't you go over to the shop and pick some sweets, I'll be there in a sec"
"Ok Daddy" Leah said, running off with Lucas.
"Bye aunty Leela" Lucas called.
"So what's wrong?" Ste turned back to me and asked.
"Dad, he was in the house with John-Paul" I sighed "What I hate the most is that he lied to us, for months, how could he do that?"
"I don't know" he said, pulling me in for a hug.
I saw Trevor from over Ste's shoulder.
"Hey, I gotta go" I said, pulling back from the hug and he followed my gaze to Trevor.
"He's trouble you know?" Ste said.
"Don't you start, you sound like Mum" I told him.
"I'm just looking out for my little sis that's all" he said, causing me to smile, I'd never been anyone's little sister before, it felt nice.
Ste ran off in the direction of the shop and I walked up to Trevor.
"Hey" I said to him.
"Not now, I'm busy, later ya" he said to me and before I could reply he was gone.
