Chapter 151
**A week later**
**Megan**
Logan strokes up and down my arm as I lay with him in bed. I’d woken up from a nightmare about an hour ago. He had decided it was best we slept in different rooms still but that didn’t stop me from sneaking into his room this morning following my nightmare. Max lays across the bed with his head on my hip. He followed me in from my room.
“Why does Carl keep making me play the piano at school?” I ask as I pet Max.
“You as well, I heard he’s planning a charity school concert,” he states. “I’d rather just give the money to whatever organisation it’s for,”
“I’m not playing,” I state.
“He wants you to sing too,” I look up at him to see his eyes are closed.
“The cheek of him,”
“Yep,” he says with a yawn and holds me closer. I sigh and lay my head on his chest.
“I’m gonna have to beat him up,” he laughs and continues to run his fingers up and down my arm.
“Get in line,”
“We have to get up,” I say looking at the clock.
“Ten more minutes,” he counters and pulls me on top of him, disrupting Max and making him sigh. I smile and lay my head back on his chest. “What was your nightmare?” he asks. I shake my head and move out of his grasp.
“Same as always,” I say, and get out of bed. “It was a memory,” I clarified and picked my dressing gown up off the floor to put it on. Logan looks at me from the bed and sighs. “I’m not in a mood before you say it, I don’t want to talk about it and I’d rather just act like I never had one,” I explain as I tie my dressing gown belt.
“Ok,” is all he says, and reaches out to take my hand. “As long as you’re ok,” he states, and pulls me to kiss him.
“I’ll be ok,” I say into the kiss and pull away from him. “We need to get out of bed,”
“Or,” he pulls me to him completely so I fall across him. I let out a yelp and giggle as he holds me to him, “We need to stay in bed all day,” he presses his lips to mine.
“I like that idea,” I say, and then remember I’m on my period. I push him away. “We can’t,” I say getting up again. He sighs and falls back. “Time of the month,”
“Isn’t that what anal is for,” he says, and I shake my head at him.
“Are you spending too much time with Carl?” I ask him as he gets out of bed. He tilts his head and shrugs.
“Maybe,” he states, and walks into the bathroom.

Logan walks into the kitchen and looks right at me. I hadn’t gotten dressed yet when I left his room I just came straight down here and got some coffee. I thought getting some coffee and having some breakfast might make me more motivated to get dressed and go to school. Brett walks in after him and goes straight for the coffee, he’s not normally up this early. Carl had already come down and eaten, he’s now upstairs getting ready.
Lorraine gives me a small smile as she places the plate of pancakes, eggs, and bacon in front of me and my stomach is already full just from looking at it. Logan sits down at the table next to me and Lorraine puts an even bigger portion in front of him. The only difference is he doesn’t have pancakes he has a ton of eggs and toast and the same for Brett.
“I didn’t know you were going to be up Brett,” she says.
“My boss called,” he says, and then looks at the food.
“You can have David's portion, I’ll make some more for him,” she says sitting down and taking a sip of her coffee. “Are you ok Megan, sweetheart?”
“Yeah I’m just not hungry, I’m sorry,” I say quietly and I feel a little guilty.
“Eat some of it,” Logan says. I look at him then at the plate, he sighs and picks up my plate to put a pancake on his plate and then a pancake on Bretts, leaving me with the bacon and eggs. “Better?” he asks. I nod and take a piece of bacon.
“Are you ok?” Brett asks.
“Yeah, I just feel a bit off today, I didn’t get much sleep,” I say
“Why?”
“Nightmare, I’ve been having them all week,”
“You never said anything to me,” Logan states.
I look down at my food and I know I can’t eat the rest. I sigh and push my plate away.
“I’m not going to school,” I say standing up moving my food onto Logan’s plate, and then walking to the dishwasher.
“You are,” Logan states.
“I’m not,”
“Why? So you can sit here and get even more depressed?” he asks. I sigh and walk out of the room. I’m not arguing with him over it. I’m taking a day to myself and there’s nothing he can do about it.
I walk into my bedroom and shut the door behind me before getting into bed. Logan will probably come to get me and it will probably result in him leaving in a mood and then I’ll just sit here even more upset.
After about ten minutes I hear my bedroom door open.
"I'm not going Logan so don't even try," I say as I move my cover over my head.
"Good job I'm not Logan," I hear Brett say. I lift the covers off my head and sit up to look at him. He smiles at me and sits on my bed. “Do you want to talk about your nightmare?” he asks. I shake my head and look at my lap. “I don’t think he meant to upset you, he’s just worried about you,”
“I know, I’ve just been having nightmares every night this week, he knows that when he sleeps in the same rooms as me I don’t have as many nightmares,”
“He’s not sleeping in here?” he asks with a frown. “I thought he was,”
“Well he goes with David to take Max on a run and he comes back hours later,”
“But still,”
“I know, I think it’s because of you,”
“Me?”
“I think he thinks that you won’t like him if he sleeps in my room all the time,”
He sighs, “So I scare him?” he asks.
“I’m not sure, I think he wants you to like him for me, but it’s not like we’re going to have sex every night,”
“Nope don’t want to hear about you having sex, “ he says shaking his head and closing his eyes. I smile at him, “Him sleeping in here doesn’t bother me if it means you get a decent night sleep,”
“Well, you need to tell him that,”
“I will, why don’t you try to sleep and I’ll come and wake you a little later,” he suggests, I nod and watch him as he gets up and leaves my room.
