Trevor's POV
I left the room quickly after kissing her on the cheek, it was a simple gesture, but it meant so much more, it would have been so easy to have just kissed her on the lips, but I couldn't, we could never be more than just friends, no matter how much I wanted to be, and I knew she wanted it too.
I sat at the kitchen counter thinking when I heard footsteps on the stairs and Leela appeared, giving me a cautious smile.
"Thanks for letting me stay here, again" she said with embarrassment.
"It's fine, what are friends for ey?" I said with an easy smile.
"Yeah... friends" she said with a hint of regret in her voice.
"I'm sorry..." she said all of a sudden and I looked at her with confusion.
"For crying, I'm sorry, you shouldn't have to..." I cut her off and walked over to her, taking her hand in mine.
"It's fine, you don't have to apologise to me, I'm always here for you, you know that right?" she looked surprised for a moment but then she gave me a small smile and walked to the door.
She stopped halfway and turned to me.
"Thank you" she whispered, and then she turned around and continued walking to the door.
Leela's POV
I closed the door gently behind me.
When Trevor said about being friends I felt my heartbreak a little, I wanted to be more than friends, but I knew we couldn't, we both knew, but hearing him say he was always here for me gave me some kind of hope.
I found myself outside my door, I took a deep breath and walked in.
"Where have you been?" my Mum shouted at me as soon as I walked in.
"Do you mind not shouting, please" I moaned, as I plonked myself down on the couch.
"Where have you been?" she asked again, lowering her voice a little.
"Stayed at a mates" I told her.
"Letting us know would have been nice" she said.
"Sorry, didn't know you cared" I said, feeling annoyed.
"Of course I care" she looked at me for a minute then she suddenly spoke again.
"You stayed at his again didn't you?"
"Yeah, so what if I did?"
"I don't like the idea of you spending the night at his" she told me.
"Oh, well I'm sorry, I didn't know I needed your approval" I snapped.
"I told you, he's trouble" she shouted at me.
"And I told you, we're friends" I shouted back.
I got up to go upstairs but Mum walked over and grabbed my arm.
"Get off me" I said, snatching my arm back.
"You don't understand, I can't just sit back and let you mess up your life, he's bad news" she said, getting louder and louder.
"I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself" I spat.
"I don't think you can, not this time" she told me.
"Says the person whose husband cheated on them with another guy" I looked her straight in the eyes "Pathetic" I spat. I knew it was a low blow and I regretted the words as soon as they left my mouth, but she didn't get it; Trevor was different with me.
Before I knew what happened she slapped me hard across the face, so hard that the force of the hit sent me stumbling backwards, I tripped over one of Rose's teddies and fell over, hitting my head on the corner of the coffee table.
I touched the back of my head with my hand and I could feel something wet.
I looked at my hand and it had some blood on.
Mum just stared at me in shock and just then the door came open and Ste stood there.
"What's happened?" he asked in shock, coming over to help me up.
"It was an accident, I didn't mean to" Mum said in a panic.
"Forget it" I said, going back out of the door.
