MEGAN POV

So much time had passed, Lin and I had been dating for six months now and it was still going perfect. I couldn't be happier, however that happiness was about to suffer. Lin and I were out on a date, in a rather nice restaurant, we had a date there last month and I had wanted to come back at some point. We had finished eating and Lin was away in the bathroom, just then I heard something, a voice I never wanted to hear again.

"Well, well, Megan Parker".

I stiffened and turned around, it was Mark, my ex-boyfriend, the one who abused me. Almost at once I felt fear grab me, I tried to keep my voice strong but I could hear it shaking.

"W-what do you want?"

"Well, I was out and about and what do you know, I find you".

I glared at him, his lie was so obvious, I then realised the answer, the reason why I had felt disturbed the past few days.

"Liar, you've been stalking me".

Mark glared at me, he knew I had figured it out, he then spoke.

"Yeah fine, so I've been stalking you, I warned you didn't I bitch, what would happen if you said anything and now look what's happened to me".

"You abused me, yo got what you deserved".

Mark continued to glare at me.

"You wouldn't do as you were told, you had to be taught a lesson, you just can't admit I'm the best thing that ever happened to you".

"Yeah right?"
"Especially now, look at you, dating some lame chink, it's pathetic".

It was my turn to glare, and, reacting to what he had just said I slapped him across the face. I knew, shortly after the abuse started that Mark was the worst kind of bigot ever, racist, sexist, anything that didn't accept his views was treated with contempt by him. But there was no way I was gonna let him get away with talking about Lin like that. He glared at me and grabbed my arm, his grip was agonizing, I knew already that I'd end up with a bruise, why wasn't anybody in the restaurant doing anything.

Just then I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's going on here?"

It was Lin, I was saved. Mark turned his head towards Lin and glared at him, he still had my arm in a death grip, Mark then spoke.

"So you're Megan's boyfriend".

"You're Mark, you're the one who abused her".

Mark laughed and shook his head.

"So?"

Lin then spat out a single word in Chinese.

"Egun".

Chinese for villain, a very appropriate term for Mark in my opinion. Mark's glared deepened, he didn't know Chinese but he had an idea what Lin meant. Lin's voice was shaking with rage.

"You leave Megan alone!"

Mark laughed and then yanked my arm, pulling me to my feet.

"Yeah right, she deserves better than you, what are you, some Chink, compared to me, I'm perfect for her".

"Let her go!"

Finally the owner of the restaurant approached.

"Okay that's enough, none of this, you let her go now or I'll call the police".

Mark finally let me go and, with a final glare at Lin he left the restaurant.

Shortly after the incident Lin and I were standing outside the restaurant waiting for Drake to pick us up. It was then Lin saw the damage Mark had done, already a bruise was forming on my arm, Lin carefully examined it, his face showed his angry towards Mark but, predominantly, concern for me.

"Megan, I'm sorry, I should've..."

"No, it's okay, I never thought he'd come after me again".

I leaned against him and he held me in his arms, I felt his finger under my chin, he gently lifted my head and kissed me. Finally Drake drove up and we got in the car, he saw the bruise on my arm and Lin and I explained about Mark's return. Drake was enraged, when we got back and I told the rest of the family we discussed what to do, unless Mark came after me again we couldn't get him arrested for abuse again. Mark unfortunately realised that and instead of trying to attack me again he began to phone me constantly, he still had my number. It was getting really bad, the calls were harassing, threatening. It was getting really bad, I was starting to fear for my life. Lin and I were sitting on the couch watching TV when my phone rang for the fourth time that day, in the space of two hours. I looked at the number, it was Mark's, I refused to answer but the voice mail picked up the threatening call, this time a direct threat to both me and Lin. I groaned and put my phone down.

"I can't believe this, he's even worse than my Dad".

Lin looked at me confused, I then remembered I hadn't told him about the reason why my mother married Josh's Dad. I explained about my family past in more detail, about my father's drunken abusive behaviour.

"Drake and I were his main victims...Drake tried to protect me from him but Dad just beat Drake until he was helpless and then he would attack me. Mom was scared but finally, after he beat me so bad that he sent me to hospital, Mom divorced him and he was arrested, he's still in jail now".

Lin's sympathetic look was enough for me to relax and lean into him, he understood what I was talking about and he was willing to help me deal with my own personal demons.

LIN POV

I couldn't believe it, this was getting out of control, it had been three weeks since I had encountered Megan's ex-boyfriend and he was still harassing her day and night. I wasn't going to stand for it anymore, I had told Megan that I'd sort this out and said I'd meet her at her house later. Right now I was meeting with three of my friends, all of them were like me, immigrants who had moved to America when they were young, we all grew up together and learned English and everything together. Only one of us wasn't completely fluent yet but he was close, Fang Guan, he was the one I needed to speak to, so, speaking in Chinese to keep things easier I asked him.

"Fang, your Dad's a cop right".

He looked at me confused.

"Yeah, why".

I told him about Mark, his harassing phone calls and what he had done to her in the past.

"You see, I need to ask your father to arrest this guy".

Fang nodded and then spoke.

"You know he's gonna need some proof, right?"

"Yeah, I'll talk to Megan, maybe I can convince her to let him hear the voice mails Mark left".

After discussing a few more points I hurried to speak to Megan, with back-up from her family she agreed to tell the police everything. Within the next three days we were busy talking to the police, luckily, the following weeks we received good news, they managed to get enough evidence to arrest Mark, this time he wouldn't be able to make bail or even get released, so easily. Thank God it was over, I just hoped Megan would recover quickly, the damage this had done to her confidence was heart-breaking, still she was starting to improve and recover so maybe, just maybe everything would be alright.

End of chapter, Mark is back in jail, where he belongs. Next chapter takes place a week later, Lin finally finds out that Megan's recovery is as complete as she's been leading him to believe. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
