Forbidden Love (Hollyoaks)

10

It had been a few weeks since harleigh was shot thanks to the hands of grace. Harleigh has been discharged from the hospital and was staying with Freddie. She and grace hasn't spoken since harleigh learnt her mother was behind he shooting. Harleigh was hurt to discover that her mum was behind it all. Harleigh wanted to forgive grace for it, she was her mother after all. Harleigh didn't want to ruin the tight family that they had and knew Madison wouldn't want their family falling apart especially since glen had started to weasel his way in with grace. Harleigh sat on the sofa and frowned as she heard a knock at the door. She stood from the sofa and sighed. Harleigh was told to take it easy until she had her stitches out. Harleigh answered the door and smiled as she saw it was Madison "hey" Madison said as she hugged harleigh.

The girls walked back into the living room where harleigh was watching Jeremy Kyle "are you coming home?" Madison asked as harleigh sighed "I can't" "I know that your mad at mum, okay? So am I, but as twisted as our mum is she thought she was protecting you, she loves you and she made a mistake and it was only an accident" Madison said as harleigh looked to her and smiled "she shot me" "I know but it's okay to forgive her and we need to stick together, she isn't grade black anymore not with glen, he has got into her head and he is manipulating her, we need to help her. Look I know your on rest but go to the club and you will see it, you will see how he is treating her and it isn't right" Madison said as harleigh sighed "fine, I'll look into it but I'm not making any promises" harleigh said as Madison nodded.

Later that day, harleigh walked into the club and looked to grace and frowned as she saw glen. Harleigh stood behind the car as she watched as he walked over to her and grabbed her arm roughly "dorm let me down Gracie, it will only prove just how pathetic you really are. We both know that your daughters hate you and I am all you have, your pathetic" glen spat at her before he walked out of the club. Harleigh frowned as grace wiped the tears from her eyes as harleigh stood up and looked to grace and smiled.

"It's not true, what he said" harleigh said as grace smiled "isn't it? You do hate me" "no, I don't mum, I was mad at you but I could never hate you and you deserve better then how he treated you, I know you had issues with your dad And he treated you bad, but it doesn't mean you need to be with a mad who treat you like that. You deserve a Trevor and I know he's dead but you need a love like that" harleigh said as grace looked to her and smiled "I only wanted to protect you, you and Madison and I never wanted to hurt you" grace said as harleigh smiled "I know and it's okay" harleigh said.

Later that day, harleigh walked into the flat where Madison was and looked to her and sighed as she showed Madison the cctv video of glen who had mistreated grace "this is horrid" Madison said as harleigh nodded "yes and it can't happen anymore" "what are you saying?" Madison asked as harleigh sighed "we're going to show him why he never messes with a black and we are going so sort him out, for once and for all" harleigh said as Madison looked to her and smirked. She knew harleigh had inherited the criminal gene from their mother and loved it.
