Leela's POV
Once outside I saw my sister walking up the steps.
"Hey, what you doing home?" I asked Peri, my youngest sister.
"Study period"
"Shouldn't you be, like, studying then?"
"I left my books here, just came to get them" she said, looking at me closely.
"Hey, what happened to you?" she asked, sounding both amused and concerned.
"Oh, that" I said, touching the back of my head without thinking "I tripped" I said, it's not like it was a lie, I did trip, just with a little help from Mum.
"Oh, okay" she said and started to walk to the door, but she turned back "Have you noticed anything strange with Mum and Dad?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"They've been acting really weird lately and I didn't see Dad this morning, he normally takes me to school, but he didn't and he wasn't in school either"
"Oh, I don't know, you know Dad" I lied.
I noticed Peri looking at something in the distance.
"Alright ladies" came a voice.
I turned to look and saw Trevor coming towards us.
"Hey" Peri said to him, with a smile. Why couldn't Mum be like Peri? Peri seemed to think Trevor was alright, I just wished Mum would too.
"What you done princess?" Trevor said, looking at the back of my head.
"She tripped" Peri said, putting her fingers in the air, making quotation marks as if she didn't believe me.
Peri and Trevor both looked at me.
"You know me, such a klutz" I said with an uneasy smile.
"Well, whatever..." my sister said in a bored tone as she walked off into the house.
Trevor's POV
I walked out of my flat, on my way to the club to sort something out when I saw Peri and Leela; I walked over to them and noticed the cut on the back of Leela's head, it was bleeding a little.
"She tripped" Peri told me but Peri didn't believe that and nor did I. She was fine this morning I thought to myself.
I watched as Peri walked off, leaving me and Leela alone.
"So, you gonna tell me what really happened?" I asked, turning to face her.
"I tripped, like Peri said" she said.
"If that's what you gonna go with then fine, but I know your lying" I told her.
"Hey, can I come to yours? I need a shower"
"What's wrong with your shower?" I questioned her.
"Urm... Ste's using it" she said, obviously lying.
"Fine" I sighed, dropping the keys in her hand "I gotta nip to the club, but you know where everything is" I told her with a wink.
Leela's POV
I watched him walk off with a grin on his face.
My mind started wondering to that one time, the time we never spoke about, ever. We both said it was a mistake and now I think we finally believed it ourselves. We've spent so long pretending, it's easier this way...
I walked the short distance to Trevor's flat and let myself in.
...
I walked downstairs after my shower and decided to make something to eat.
Going into the kitchen, I noticed his phone on the side, without thinking I picked it up and that's when I saw it.
I felt this feeling stir in the pit of my stomach, it wasn't a bad feeling. Happiness. It was the feeling of pure happiness. He never forgot?
It was a picture of him and me, we were laughing, I was happy.
I scowled through the rest of his pictures and saw that he had loads of us, just me and him, then I landed on a picture from that night; we were both very drunk, and we slept together, the first and only time.
