DRAKE AND JOSH: MEGAN'S BOYFRIEND

CHAPTER 1: SECRET

This story was a request by OXannaOx so full credit to them for this brilliant idea, I'm working on other stories at the moment but whenever I find time I will work on this, here's chapter 1, hope you enjoy it, mainly to set the scene.

Disclaimer: Drake and Josh belongs to Dan Schnieder

It was early evening in the Parker-Nichols Household, Drake was sitting in his room absently playing his guitar, he was distracted by the fact Josh seemed to be unusually agitated. Drake glanced up at him.

"Josh, what's bugging you, will you stop pacing around already".

"How can you be so calm Drake, haven't you realised what's been going on?"

Drake just looked at him confused, Josh sighed and decided to rephrase his question.

"I'll put that another way, when's the last time Megan pranked us".

"I don't know, been that long, why, shouldn't you be happy she's not bothering us anymore".

"No, it's even weirder than that, she's not pranked us in a long time, in fact, she almost never comes out of her room now, except to you know, go out with her boyfriend and eat dinner with us".

Drake thought back and realised Drake was right, his lazy nonchalance was suddenly replaced with concern.

"Do you think something's wrong with her".

"Obviously, she never misses an opportunity to prank us, but now she's shut up in her room the whole time".

"Maybe we should, talk to her about it".

Josh shook his head.

"Don't bother, Mom and Dad have noticed too, they're gonna ask her at dinner tonight".

"Okay, but, I guess I can understand why you were so agitated now".

Josh nodded and finally sat down, Drake went back to absently playing his guitar only this time his thoughts were on Megan and her strange behaviour.

Megan was shut up in her room, she lay on her bed, she had been crying for a long time and now she had no more tears, despite this her sorrow was still suffocating her. She wanted to talk to someone but she knew she couldn't, everything in her life was wrong now and there was nothing she could do to fix it, she then heard the ringtone from her phone indicating a text message, nervously she checked it and threw the phone down again, another one, another threatening text, she grabbed her phone back up and texted back.

'I get it already, I won't say anything, I promise'.

She hit the send button and then threw her phone back onto the bedside table, she sighed.

'Where did I screw everything up, why is my life such a mess?'

It didn't matter how many times she asked herself those questions she could never work out the answer and there was no way she could ask someone else, that would mean telling them the whole story and she couldn't do that, she couldn't say a word about what was going on, that had been completely clear to her right away, besides, it wasn't as if anyone would really care, her Mom had Walter and they were happy together, Josh had his girlfriend Mindy and Drake, well, Drake was always too lazy to care about anything much, no matter how she looked at it, it was obvious she was alone.

Finally at dinner time the entire family was sitting in the living room, all eating, or in Megan's case picking at her food, there was silence except for the sounds of the forks against the plates, Drake and Josh kept glancing from Megan to Walter and Audrey, Megan kept her head down and kept picking at her food, Walter and Audrey kept glancing at each other, finally after some time Walter and Audrey spoke quietly to each other. After almost complete silence for nearly half an hour Audrey finally spoke.

"Megan, we need to talk".

Megan merely glanced up.

"What?"

"It's just, well, you've been acting strangely lately, hiding in your room, not talking to anyone, we were just wondering, is something wrong, something you want to tell us".

"Like what?"

"Is something happening too you, you know you can tell us if something's wrong".

Megan froze, her head snapped up and her eyes were wide, she looked like she had been caught. She thought for a moment and decided her only option was to lie.

"I'm fine".

That was all she said, but Audrey was more persistent than that.

End of chapter, sorry for the cliffhanger but I want to set up the next chapter, will Audrey's persistence pay off or will Megan still keep her secret, hope you enjoyed, read and review please.
