Tasha's POV

"Not this lie again." Urgh, first he lies about his dad abusing him – just for attention – then the annoying Marcus lie and back to the dad lie. When will he be honest with everyone, just tell me the truth? It will get him nowhere in life to just keep lying, about abuse.

"WHAT? You knew, but, a) didn't believe him when he is clearly telling the truth and b) you didn't tell us or anyone else." Bree screamed at me, I honestly don't know what I am doing wrong, someone please tell me. "Just tell me. What the fuck am I doing wrong? The reason I don't believe Leo is because when it was him, me and his father – Billy, I was the one bringing in the money, and, that often meant late shifts, so, I rarely saw Leo and I feel that he made up the abuse to get more attention from me. It worked." I told them disappointingly.

"Look Tasha, you don't believe your own son, even when it is a video of him telling Chase, CHASE NOT YOU, that he was being abused and you still don't believe him, and trust me you never know when Eddy is recording and when he isn't." Surprising it was Adam who said that. It was starting to become more and more logical by the second, he kept his distance from his dad even when I was around, he was always clinging onto me – even asked me if he could go to work with – I thought he was just being supportive, so, I said that it is strictly staff only. The more I think about it the more I believe him. "Leo was abused wasn't he?" After I said that I let it all sink in, however, the more it sank in the angrier I got at Billy for doing it to Leo and mainly myself for not believing Leo.

Just that second, Leo came rushing in through the double doors. He must have realized that we knew as he said softly, "I'm sorry for not telling you, I thought I could handle it myself." That just brought me to tears, hearing Leo say that. "I'm sorry for not believing you the first time you told me," I said genuinely. He broke down again. "Leo what's wrong now?" I was getting really worried, "There is something I haven't told you," Leo said while still crying, "I attempted suicide three times."
