Leela's POV
"Please" I begged.
"No, I already told you" Trevor said from the kitchen.
"Why not?" I said, walking up to him.
"Because I don't sit around and play happy families, and your family hate me anyway" he told me.
"They don't hate you" I said and he just stared blankly at me.
"Okay, so my Mum hates you, but Peri likes you" I said with a hopeful smile.
"She' 13, and what about your Dad?" he asked.
"I don't care what he thinks" I said angrily.
"Leela, he's still you're Dad"
"Whatever" I huffed, leaning in to kiss him, but I stopped just before our lips touched.
"So, you'll come?" I asked with a grin.
"Fine, I'll come, but only for you" he said, giving in.
"Yay" I said, throwing my arms around him and kissing him.
"I better go tell them" I said, pulling away from him and heading for the door.
...
I walked into my house and saw Mum in the kitchen with Dad, I could hear them whispering and as I got closer they stopped.
"Hi" I said looking at Mum.
"Hey" my Dad said but I just ignored him.
"You can't keep ignoring me" he said with a sigh.
"Wanna bet" I said, giving him a cold stare.
"Look, Leela, I'm sorry" he told me in a pleading tone and I just looked away.
"Leela, I've forgiven him, why can't you?" Mum said.
"Have you forgotten what he did to this family? Oh, and remember the secret son he kept from us too?" I shouted.
"Please, Leela, I've forgiven him..." she said and I cut her off.
"Well I'm not you, I can't forgive him" I said, running upstairs.
...
I heard a knock at my bedroom door.
"Who is it?" I shouted.
"It's me, can I come in? my Mums voice sounded from behind the door.
I got up and opened the door.
"What do you want?" I said, sounding a little harsh.
"Leela, please" my Mum said as she walked into my room and sat down on the bed.
"Please what?" I asked with a sign, as I sat down at my desk.
"Your Dad is really sorry you know?" she told me.
"Yeah, well he lied to this family for months and you're all acting like it's fine, well it's not fine and this isn't the first time he's lied to us is it?"
"That's in the past, I forgave him for that and I forgive him for this too" she said.
"He's in love with someone else, how can you forgive him?" I asked.
"We've talked about it, he said it was a mistake"
"So, I over hear him saying he loves someone else and it's a mistake?" I questioned, not believing a word of it.
"He promised me it was, he said he wants us, he wants this family" she said.
"Fine, but don't expect me to forgive him that easily" I told her.
I watched as she got up and went to leave the room, but before she did she turned to me.
"So, tonight, are you going to be here?" she asked me, referring to the family meal she insisted on having.
"Yeah" I said with a soft smile.
"I'm bringing Trevor" I told her quickly, anticipating her reaction.
"No, I'm not having that man in my house" she said angrily.
"Yes, if you want me to come then you are" I said
"Anyway, I thought you were okay with me and him being together"
"I am, but doesn't mean I want him in my house" she told me.
I got up and walked over to her.
"I know" I told her.
"Know what?"
"I know what you told Trevor, and it's not going to work" I told her smugly.
"It's for the best, and one day you'll thank me for it"
"Doubt it" I said rolling my eyes at her "So, do you want me to come or not?"
"Yes" she said.
"Well, I'll come, but Trevor's coming too" I told her.
"Fine" she said, walking out of the room.
"Fine" I repeated and slammed the door shut.
