Here's the next chapter which will consist of the chorus and the next verse as we look in to the day that Megan and Drake's dad left from Megan's point of view. Some of the flash back's in this chapter will have relation to my other story Cursed Past.

This part of the story is set on Friday evening after dinner.

Did he tie you down

Did you make a sound

Megan, Drake and Josh were sat in the living room having just finished their dinner. Audrey walked in with Walter as the pair had just washed the dishes. Megan knew that she and Drake would now have to reveal every thing and like she said earlier she was not doing any of the explaining.

"So Mum," Josh started, "What's this all about?"

"Well I thought that later on we can all watch that movie that Walter wants to watch on the TV," Megan could see Walter smile at that and heard her brother sigh from next to her. She could easily understand why though, "But before that I thought that it's about time that the two of you find out about our past before we met you as you are now our family." Audrey finished.

"But dad I thought that you told me that Audrey had told you that her husband, Megan and Drake's dad, wasn't around any more?" Josh asked confused.

"Well I wouldn't tell Walter the truth straight away as I had to think about Megan and Drake as well, but now you two can know the truth and we'll get around to where their dad is later, however you might need to hear the story first."

Megan could feel her mother's eyes look over to she and Drake, but she wasn't going to return that look this time.

"Drake do you want to start by telling your brother and dad the story." Audrey almost told her son.

"Alright." Drake replied as strongly as he could, but Megan could tell that it was that strange fake strength that Drake had used in the past all of the time that he stood up to dad. For him self. For her.

Megan could see Josh and Walter turn their attention to Drake who she could see suddenly shrink back in strength and confidence.

"Well no one really ever knew what was going on," Megan noticed the confused looks on Josh and Walter's faces as Drake spoke, "Trevor and Scottie were always there for me and they tired to help me as best as they could. Mum and Megan never really knew about what was going on until he-he-h..he" Drake stopped speaking and that worried Megan.

She looked at her brother. He was now crying and struggling to keep up his strong appearance. Audrey, Josh and Walter were at Drake's side immediately and Megan just remained sat next to him.

"Drake, Drake baby, calm down, please Drake." Audrey called to her son who was near hysteria.

She falls to her knees

Screaming God please

Make something of me

Megan couldn't stand seeing her brother this way. She had once before seen him like this when she was much younger. She remembered that the last time she had seen Drake like this was when she pushed him out of the window.

She told her self that she wasn't going to this this, but she felt that she had to as she saw her mum sit next to Drake and pull him in to a hug as he began to settle down again. She saw Josh and Walter's scared expressions as they had never seen Drake like this before.

"I'll tell the story." She just let the words slip off of her tongue surprised at how easy it was to say.

"What do you mean, Megan?" Josh asked as he and his dad sat back down.

"I mean that if Drake can't tell the story then I will.

"Megan are you sure that you can?" Audrey asked her daughter running a hand through Drake's hair while another rested on his back as she kept him close beginning to think that it was a bad idea to make him talk about the past.

"I don't know as much as Drake, but I do know about the day that dad left us in lot's of detail, mum and you right Josh and Walter do deserve to know the truth."

"Sweetie are you sure that you want to?" Megan gritted her teeth while her mother spoke before nodding her head, yes in reply. The room went silent apart from every one's breathing and the occasional crying that still remained from her brother as she began the story from what she thought was one of the worst days of her life.

"You see I never knew and nor did mum, but I found out when I came home from school one day. I was only six, but I was already doing lot's of clubs like gymnastics and soccer and I was going to be starting to learn the obo for my seventh birthday-" Megan spoke telling the story word for word of how her eyes had seen it and how her mind remembered it.

Cause I never wanted anything like what I want to be right now

An angel again, an angel again,

Somehow

A six year old Megan Parker walked up to the door of her house as Janie and her mum drove away. They had dropped her home since both she and Janie did soccer, which due to some other event was cancelled for today. She wasn't expected home by her dad or Drake, so she wouldn't be surprised if the two if them were out some where. Although that seemed unlikely. The young child was about to ring the door bell when she heard a voice that she could instantly recognise as her brothers.

It seemed like he was afraid of some thing from the tone of his voice, however she couldn't make out what he was saying, bit if she could she would most likely have a better idea on the situation. So for once she didn't do what her dad always said and she reached in to her bag for the secret key that she hid in the secret pocket and opened the front door. She walked inside and threw her bag down on the floor. Her brothers shouting was so much louder now and she could easily hear what he was saying. He was asking some one to stop, but stop what?

She ran up to her brothers room quickly and opened the door not meaning to make any sound at all, but she did when she saw the sight in front of her. Drake was on the floor begging their dad to stop hitting him. She could see her brothers guitar laying broken on the floor and the sight made her gasp instantly putting Drake and their dad's attention on to her. She could she tears in her brothers eyes and hatred in her father's as he pushed past her to leave the room.

Megan ran over to her brother who was sat up and once again looked like the strong brother that he was. If he didn't have his shirt on she hated to think what she would see.

"Drake-" She started weakly, however he cut her off.

"Megan do you remember Trevor and Scottie?" He asked. Megan nodded, but she had noticed that her brothers voice sounded pained.

She remembers his old boots

"Yeah." Her voice trembled out of fear as her brother began to speak again, but quicker this time as they both heard foot steps coming up the stairs.

"No matter what happens next you need to phone this number," Drake told her handing her a small slip of paper with numbers on it and one word below the number in hand writing that she didn't recognise, "Tell the person who answers the word on that piece of paper."

"Is that it?" She asked back confused. However she didn't get to hear her brother answer her question as he pulled her closer to him. She looked over at the door to the room and saw her dad stood there. He held some thing in his hand, but she wasn't exactly sure what it was, however she could take a guess that it was some thing bad considering Drake's reaction to it.

"I should have killed that pest of a sister of yours the day that she was born then this would never have happened." He said striking fear in Megan's heart as he pulled out the gun and pointed it towards her.

And the shotgun that he shoots

The young girl squeezed her eyes shut and hoped for some sort of angel or a miracle to help her. She got her wish, but not how she meant. She heard the gun go off, but she never felt the bullet she only felt Drake's strong arms let go off her causing her to panic.

"Drake," She spoke quietly almost as a question before she saw some thing that the young new would be embedded in to her mind forever.

Her brother had taken the hit for her. The whole right side of where his rib cage was was covered in a red liquid that Megan hated to see. That was when she remembered what Drake had told her to do. She felt bad as she shuffled away not being able to remove her eyes from Drake and her dad who where now in another heated fight, Drake trying as best as he could to avoid his fathers hands.

She moved quickly once she was out of the room grabbing the phone and dialling the number on the paper with speed that she didn't know that she had in her fingers. A voice answered with a simple 'hello' that sounded like Trevor's but it could be Scottie's as she couldn't distinguish their voices over the phone.

"T..trouble." She read her voice shaking. She received no reply as the person on the other side of the line put the phone down making her panic even more.

And all she could takeLies at the bottom of a lake

The next few minutes seemed to fly over Megan's head as she kneeled on the floor crying until she heard sirens and car's pulling up. She stood and saw the front door open and she smiled slightly as her mum ran over to her and pulled her close along with two people that she recognised as Trevor and Scottie and a woman who must have been their mother.

Many more people ran past them some wearing police uniform and some wearing medic uniforms. It seemed only seconds before they returned with Drake on a stretcher and their dad being held in handcuffs.

The next events were a blur to the young girl as she seemed to only cry for the next days that came after the terrible events.

Megan didn't understand how she wasn't now crying. She could see that her mum had tears at the corner of her eyes and she could see that Drake was still crying and Josh and Walter were equally as close to tears.

When she looked at Drake though the two managed to catch each others eyes and in them Megan could see that Drake was proud of her for telling every one the first part of the story that he couldn't.

Please review and thanks for reading.

Do any of you know if Drake has ever broken his arm? If so please leave a review or pm me.

Sorry again for the late update.
