Chapter 23
**Megan**
My mouth became dry and my heart felt as if it was in my throat as I heard my grandfather say these words to me. “What?” I stuttered out. He gulped and looked down at his lap then back at me.
“He could be out in six months, maybe sooner I’m not too sure,”he states.
I felt myself slowly start to cry as I looked at him. This must be some joke or one of my nightmares. He couldn't get out that early, not after what had happened, “I’m so sorry,”he said looking at me. I looked away from him and stood up.
“I don’t really feel like eating now,” I said and started to walk out of the room. “I’ll be up in my room,” I said and ran up the stairs and into my room.
My room here was the same colours as my bedroom in my old house. A plain Magnolia with posters scattered around the walls.
I curled into a ball and scrolled through my contact list on my phone. I stopped once I got to Logan’s name. I pressed the call and waited for him to answer. Even though I would probably never admit it to him I did feel like I needed him and that if he wasn’t with me I would have broken down by now and fallen apart. After two rings I got a busy tone. I frowned and called him once more and again my call got rejected. I sat up and frowned at my phone as if it had just insulted me.
I inhaled slowly and scrolled down my contacts again to Tyler. My eyebrows relaxed and then knitted together again as I shook my head and scrolled back up my contacts to Brendan. I had gotten his number through
IM when he was online last night, he told me to ring him if I ever needed an ear or just a chat. My finger pressed on the call button and I put my phone to my ear to hear the ringtone. After about three rings I went to put the phone down when he answered.
“Hello,”
“Hey,” I said quietly.
“Megan,”he said surprised.
“Do you still have that ear?” I ask .
“Yes amazingly I do, where are you? I’ll come and get you,” he asks. I let out the breath I was holding and told him my grandfather's address “Man that’s miles away; I’ll be about thirty minutes ok?”
“Yeah,” I said and then the phone fell dead. I sighed and got up off my bed and walked out onto the balcony and sat on one of the chairs while waiting for him.
After roughly thirty minutes I watched his car park up outside the gates to the Mansion and after a couple of seconds my phone rang.
“Do you want me to come inside or...?” he trailed off.
“You can come in, I’ll tell my grandfather I have a friend coming round and you can come in,”
“Urm how about I climb through your window? I don't do too well with any kind of parents,”he states and suggests.
“Ok,” I said “I doubt he will like you anyway and will most likely make me keep my door open,” I said more to myself.
“Thanks,” he mumbled.
“Sorry,”
“It's fine I’ll be there in a minute,”he said and then put the phone down. I put the phone down and waited for him and within a minute he was stood outside my balcony. He looked up and looked around as if looking for something. “I’m expecting the flow of hair,”he states while looking up at me, I frowned “Rapunzel?” he asks
“Oh yeah right sorry,” I paused. “How would you know what Repunzel is?” I ask .
“I have two sisters who were both into all that shit when they were young believe it or not Melanie wasn’t always a dirty Goth,”he said and then walked towards a window below me and to the left.
He moved his feet up onto the small ledge and then moved his hands around the draining pipe and practically walked it up the wall while holding onto the black metal pipe. Once he got high enough which was way above my balcony he jumped off to the right into my balcony and then stood up straight.
“I should have been an assassin or some sort,”he said smiling “because that was impressive you got to admit,”he said grinning. I smiled weakly and walked into my room. He walked in after me “Or a supernatural being like a werewolf, I could pull off vampire but Twilight ruined them, or I could be same as the ones from Underworld, I could be a real werewolf a Lycan yeah I like that,” he started to mutter to himself.
I sat on my bed and looked at him as he said all this to me. I knew what Underworld was. I had seen the movies and to be truthful I wasn’t a fangirl of Twilight but I wasn’t a hater. All I can say about the film is that it’s watchable. A sigh escaped me as I looked down at my lap and the tears came once more.
“Hey what’s wrong?” he asked as he sat in front of me and moved my hair out of my face.
“He’s getting out in six months,” I say. He frowned “My grandfather told me just before I rang you; it could be sooner as he may not get a full sentence because he’s insane, so prison won’t do him any good.” I paused.
“I knew this would happen,” I said, holding my head in my hands “this is why I won’t do what everyone is telling me to do because I know he is going to be back in my life very soon and it will all start all over again,” I
cried. I heard him sigh and felt him pull me towards him.
“It won’t, I won’t let it and well no one will let him near you and so what if he’s let out within a few months, you just need to forget about him and have some fun,” he paused “I know it doesn’t seem like the thing to do now but like it’s the only way you’re going to move on from this,”he states and stroked my back. I sighed and moved my hands from my face so I could look at him. He gave me a small smile and then hugged me. “I think we should go out somewhere,”he states. I looked up at him “we’ll go somewhere fun,”he said and then stood up. “C’mon,”he said, taking my hand. I stood and followed him to my window.
“Are you sure?” he asks.
“Yeah it’s only a party but since when was a party not fun?” he asks.
“I’m not exactly dressed for a party,”
“You look fine, trust me,”he said and walked out onto my balcony. “Hmm how am I going to get down?” he asks himself. I giggled and rolled my eyes, so much for the assassin theory.
