"Young men, I suggest you stay in your place and keep your mouth out of matters that don't really concern you."
"I have standards in my family, very high standards, and when they aren't meant I will deal with it in the way I see most fit, and that is absolutely none of your business. Now leave before I call the police."

"Of course it is our business! We care about her!" Beck spat, filled with emotion that was quickly bubbling out of him like lava from a eruption. It was messy. His face was red and his eyes puffy and wet. He was so sick of this women and it hurt him to know Elisa had been living with her torture her whole life. It was no wonder she was struggling mentally. "Clearly we care about her more than you!"

"Was that scary, Sunshine? I'm so sorry."
"Ma..Ma's...so mad again."
"I know but it's not your fault, not at all."

The blonde lowered his head. This house was so messed up. Jess had to spend her young life experiencing this trauma too and he knew that Elisa would always stay at her side no matter what leaving her no room to escape from this mess. Maybe it would be easier if the family just told the truth about Elisa having a daughter, but of course he could tell this woman would never have that.

"I have too,"

Of course. He was right, and he felt so pathetic for not being able to help her or Jess.

The sisterly pair comforted one and other in a way that reminded Beck and Leon of themselves. It was kind of odd really, seeing friendship from a different point of view. Even though he was not too fond of Bex's bitterness he was happy his girlfriend had someone who had always been there for her.

Leon guided Beck towards the door but all he did was keep his eyes locked upon his girlfriend. He needed to scoop her up and kiss her and hold her. Anything to make her feel that little bit less broken than before, but he didn't know if it was wise and was positive that Elisa wouldn't be happy if he did. So he just glared at her, looking lost and guilty for not doing something. He turned to Jess and put on his bravest and widest smile. "I'll cya later yeah Jess? You keep practising drawing so you can show me how much you have improved next time alright?" He told her before looking up to Elisa, his heart breaking.

"Sorry you had to see that."

"Sorry you have to live it." Beck told her, so tired of all the shit that he knew nothing he could say could lower her Mother's expectations of him any more. "Goodbye." Leon said simply, face grim before pulling on Beck's arm, knowing he would stay in the doorway forever if he could.
