When Harry told me about his altercation with Heath outside of the visitation centre and how it all started, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't believe Heath tried to start a fight with Harry in a public place. But most of all...I couldn't believe that Heath actually screamed in Piper's face because she tried to stop the fight.

Harry told me that Piper tried to protect him from Heath by pulling him away – and I was astounded. Piper loved him so much that she was willing to go against her own biological father so that Harry wouldn't get hurt.

I was amazed at her bravery, and I was amazed at how much love she had in her heart for Harry. In fact...it was so full of love for Harry, that there wasn't even any room left for Heath.

In Piper's eyes, Harry was her father. In Piper's eyes, Harry had always been her father. But as for Heath...I don't even know if there was ever a moment where she saw him as her father at all.

I'd been having these thoughts for a long time, but what happened today with Harry and Piper just proved it to me: there was no point in letting Heath continue to see her.

Any connection he might've had with Piper sizzled out and died a long time ago. Not in a million years would Piper ever consider him as the man who loved her, looked after her, and taught her the ways of life. That was Harry. She knew it was Harry, and even I knew it was Harry.

Harry showed her the love she needed, exactly when she needed it. And once that happened...it was too late for Heath.

It was meaningless to let Heath keep sticking around. I've tried to keep giving him chances because he's Piper's father...but with the way Piper sees it, he's not even her father anyway. And besides, after what happened today, I don't ever want Heath to see Piper again.

From what Harry told me, it sounded like Heath had flipped out on Piper the almost same way he flipped out on me before. And I told myself that day that I don't give a fuck about what he does to me. But if he ever does anything to hurt Piper...that's it. He's done. And when Harry brought Piper back home today...she looked so confused and frightened that it completely broke my heart.

Heath had made Piper scared of him. And that made me furious. How anyone could possibly have the heart to scare my little girl and make her upset...I have no idea. But I'll wring the fucking neck of anyone who tries.

That's it, Heath. You're finished.

You don't get any more chances.

As Harry and I talked in the living room, I was suddenly startled by the sound of my phone ringing and vibrating loudly against the coffee table. And when I picked it up, I was completely shocked when I realized it was Heath trying to call me.

He was trying to fucking call me.

I didn't even want to answer it, but if he was outright refusing to listen to Harry, he was going to listen to me. He didn't have a fucking choice.

"Leah?!" Heath's panicked voice came through the line as soon as I accepted the call – before I could even speak, "Leah, a-are you there?!"

"What do you want?" My face hardened as I forced myself to speak to him – putting the call on speakerphone so that Harry could hear the conversation as well.

"Leah...listen to me very carefully," he spoke to me slowly, "if there's anything...anything that Harry and Piper are telling you about me, don't believe a word of it. It's all lies."
