Thanks for reading and reviewing! It seriously means a lot. And about Nick, I just came up with the name Rivers. So, it's not connected to Zoey 101.

Shit. Megan hadn't thought of the fact that her lip was still bleeding. This was a stupid, clumsy mistake that she could not afford making. Drake was still waiting for an answer, he crossed his arms and stood right in front of her. Think of something! Fast!

"Oh, it's nothing" Megan finally said while brushing away the blood. It had dried and she had to rub it hard to get it off her lip. "What do you mean nothing? What happened?"

"There was this guy at the bowling hall that accidentally elbowed me." She said while walking towards the kitchen. She could feel her skin getting warm, and she wanted to hide the fact that she was blushing. "He got all scared, he even offered to buy me a mocha cola to make it up to me." She said while smiling. Drake wasn't convinced because it all seemed so strange, but there was nothing he could say, really. Then he saw it. His eyes were the size of footballs, he opened his mouth to say something but couldn't get any words out. "Megan! Your throat!" he finally said while pointing at her. The bruising was not very visible, but it was there.

Drake had never seen Megan that way. She was beyond angry with him, she yelled insults to him left and right. It was different from a few years ago when she said stuff playfully, this time was so serious. Megan had refused to admit that there even was a bruise on her throat.

Megan was sitting quietly, staring at her food. She had covered the bruise with makeup but was still paranoid about her parents noticing it.

"Megan, why aren't you eating? Is the food not good?" Walter said with a sort of childish voice. "I am eating." She said back coldly. He looked at her for a moment. "Megan, you are not. Is something wrong?" God, who cares about the stupid food?

"Walter! Get off my back would you?" she said, raising both her eyebrows.

"Megan!" was all Audrey could say before Megan left the room, leaving everybody surprised. "Me and her had a bit of a fight earlier. Not a big deal, I'll go apologize" Drake said while getting up. He didn't even go talk to her though.

Megan was sitting in her room. She was contemplating whether or not she should call Nick. He had scared her to death the yesterday, but that was just because she had been stupid enough to insult him like that. No wonder he got all mad. She decided it was time to make things a little better with Nick, a call was definitely in order.

"Hello?" came from the other line. "Hi, honey. I miss you." she said with a smile on her face. It was good to hear his voice.

"What do you want, Megan?" Nick responded like he was annoyed with her.

"Nothing, I just called to see how you were doing…"

"I'm fine." He said. It felt weird not having him ask her how she was.

"So, what are you doing?" She tried to make him come around. Maybe he was just tired.

"I'm playing pool." Nick's voice was clearly annoyed now. Once again he didn't ask anything back. "With who?" she said, trying to make conversation.

"Why? You checking up on me? I can play pool whenever I want, with whoever I want, you know." Megan was shocked. How did he spin her question around to that?

"What? No! I was just wondering, baby." She said feeling insecure.

"You're such a stupid bitch." He said and hung up. Tears were forming in Megans eyes.

He couldn't have meant it, right? He had no reason to be angry, she didn't do or say anything out of the ordinary. He must have been really stressed out about something else, he has always made sure to let Megan know that he loves her. So she did what first came to mind. She went to the premiere to see him.

When Megan showed up, Nick was still playing pool. He was with three of his friends, she knew them all relatively well. She didn't even make it to his table before he laid eyes on her. His smile faded, and he was walking to her with fast steps.

"You just had to come see for yourself? What the hell is wrong with you?" I'm with friends Megan!" Nick yelled out, his face was turning red. The girl had no idea this would be his reaction. "If you would just let me explain." She said while closing her eyes in frustration. He grabbed her arms tightly and made a furious face, then it seemed like it just occurred to him where they were. In the middle of the premier, with lots of people around. He let go of her arms and motioned with one of his hands to the entrance.

"Just get the fuck out." He said. Suddenly Josh was standing next to them. He hadn't been able to hear anything they said, but from the looks of it, they were fighting.

"Is there a problem here?" he said as he eyed them both.

"No, I was just about to take Megan home." Nick said politely. Josh looked at Megan who just nodded at him, and he went back to work.

Megan spent the rest of the day in her room. She didn't want to see anyone or talk to anyone. She didn't want anyone to see her.

When Josh got home, he found Drake playing with a bunch of carrots.

"What the hell are you doing?" he said while shaking his head. He would never tell anyone, but he secretly loved it when Drake did something silly like this.

"I'm making a fort! A carrot fort!" Drake said excitedly. "Oh, God." Was all Josh had to say back. He was laughing on the inside though, but then he remembered what he wanted to talk to Drake about.

"You know, I saw Megan and Nick at the premiere earlier. They were fighting."

Drake stopped what he was doing. " About what?" He was very curious about this.

" I have no idea, I went up to them and they both just shrugged it off."

"Hm. Did she seem okay?" Drake asked. "Yeah, I mean they were just talking sort of loudly to each other, he took her home right after I came up to them so I guess they worked it out."

"Yeah." Drake answered. He hadn't seen Megan all day though.

He knocked on her door. "Hey Megan, it's Drake."

Megan panicked and jumped up from her bed. She pulled out her covers violently and lay down on her side, trying to conceal her black eye. Just a second later, Drake opened her door and walked inside. He shut the door behind him and saw Megan turned with her back to him. He had heard the commotion of her pulling at the covers and running around the bed, so he figured she wasn't really sleeping, she was just avoiding people.

He wasn't going to play that game though, not tonight. He needed to talk to her.

Drake opened her bedroom door and shut it right after, causing Megan to sigh and turn around. He had tricked her this way a lot of times when they were little. When they saw each other, they both had the same facial expression on their faces. Shock.
