Leigh lay in bed with Tom. Leigh looked to him and smiled. Leigh knew how tense that things were and she hated it.

She knew that she had hated how max now knew the truth and she knew that she didn't want to talk over it. It was too much

"are you okay. I know what your head is a mess. You know that you can tell me anything don't you" he said as she smiled

"it's just with all that's going on you know. I hate it and I feel like I can't even go back home" she said as he placed a hand on her cheek and smiled

"I know. I know it seems that way but you know I am here for you and that you don't need to go home if you dint want to. You can stay here" tom asked as Leigh rolled over to face him and frowned

"are you suggesting that we move in together" she said as he smiled

"yeah I mean we love each other and I think we could do it I know it's hard at home with your brother but I love you and I do think we can do it. Just think about it. Okay" he said as she looked to him and smiled.

She was shocked at what Tom had suggested as she knew it was sudden she she felt torn on what to do

Leigh got to school and sat in the common room and sighed as she looked to max as he walked in and looked to him and sighed

"what do you want max" she asked as max looked to her and sighed

"I want to apologise to you. I know I am your brother and I am trying to make it up to you and I know it won't be easy but I am your brother and it's my job to look out for you and I let you down when it came to max and I feel so guilty I didn't see it and that I wasn't there for you. I just want things to go back to how it was. I want to make it up to you" max said as Leigh looked to him and smiled.

Leigh knew that it was hard but she knew that it wasn't going to be easy

"I'm sorry max it's just...it's not going to be easy and it's not your fault. You weren't to know what he was like" Leigh said as she stood up as max sighed

"I kinda did, I didn't know he was a rapist but I knew he was a creep and I am sorry I wasn't there to protect you" max said as Leigh looked to her brother and sighed.

Leigh knew that things were beyond complicated
