Forbidden Love Part Thirty-Seven Taking in the News Continued
“It aint just Ray what thinks that though…”
“What..? Who else then..” He asked as Demi turned to him again.
“Everyone!… kids at school. Me old mates…. Probably even Leo..”
“Yeah well you don’t need him Dem’s… he’s trouble, look what he’s done to ya!”
“He aint done nothing to me!” Demi snapped quickly turning to her brother. “This aint all Leo’s fault ya no… he never forced me… I wanted to!” She yelled as Mickey put his head in his hands shaking his head.
“Nah, nah Dem’s I don’t wanna be thinking of me little sister like that… its wrong” he said as he lifted his head.
“Well its what happened. I love him… I did it because I love him not because he’s forced me into anything… you don’t even know him” She snapped as Mickey frowned.
“I don’t want to either! I know enough and that’s that he aint right for you… you deserve better!”
“I thought you of all people would understand Mickey… every time you bring home a girl mum’s always saying ‘She aint good enough for our Mickey’..” Demi said mimicking her mother. “You always hate the way she makes judgments, I would have thought you’d know what it feels like… you know nothing about Leo” She snapped as she folded her arms.
“Look… there’s just things I know about Dem’s that I don’t like…”
“So from all the bad things he’s done you judge him?… Never mind all the good he’s done… if everyone did that Mickey then you’d have no mates left at all. If you think Leo’s bad then your ten times worse! Just give him a chance!”
“I cant do that Dem’s I’m sorry… he’s trouble… I don’t care what you say he’s caused you too much grief…. I’m just tryin’ to protect ya.. Do what’s best for ya we all are”
“And what about what’s best for Leo then… no one seems to think or care about him do they… what about what’s best for the baby… it’ll need a dad, and Leo will want to be part of it’s life… you cant stop that”
“Demi just stop it… you cant miss what you never had… look at me and Dawn… we never knew our dad and we’ve got Keith… he’s our dad now and he’s been there for us, he aint our biological dad but he’s our real dad Dem’s, not that other bloke who we don’t even know…”
“But its different Mickey.. Your dad just left… I know Leo would never do that… your dad never wanted to be there… Leo does I know it”
“You don’t have to settle for second best Dem’s… you’ll find someone who’ll wanna be with you and Aleesha because he wants to… not because he feels he has to….” Mickey said softly before leaving his little sister alone to think about it. But Demi knew Mickey was wrong. Leo wanted to be there for them and no one had the right to stop them.
