Chapter 6

Eliot's POV

Sometime after Megan and I left the bar I was wide awake as Megan slept, exhausted after crying herself out. I kept playing and replaying everything that she had told me after her first crying fit, and the only conclusion I could come to is that Adam is a miserable human being.

Five hours earlier

I held Megan as she cried, her body shaking with every sob. I had no idea what to say to make her feel better, but I knew that she did not need to hear much from me right now anyways. After she managed to tell me what he'd said to her, she looked at me and said that there was something else that she thought that I should know.

"Megan, what is it?" I asked.

"I know that Jake and other members of my family have probably told you a few things about my shooting, but um there's something that I need to tell you myself, and it's something that I never talk about with anyone" she replied softly.

"Darlin you don't have to tell me anything that you don't want to" I started.

"Please Eliot, I um I need to get this out, you know that Adam and I were together from the time I was 18, he was my first well my first everything. We were happy, or at least I thought we were. He cheated on me a lot but I always forgave him. Then everything happened with Tony, and then it all fell apart" she explained and then stopped to take a breath before continuing.

"A year after everything happened with Tony, Adam and I got engaged then a few months later, I um I found out I was pregnant. I was happy, I mean it was unplanned, but I thought that we would work it out. Adam wasn't happy about it, but I thought that he would come around. He went off the rails, doing dangerous stunt after dangerous stunt" she said angrily.

"Megan, did he have something to do with you getting shot?" I asked.

"Other than the fact that the bullet I took was meant for him, no" she replied.

"So what happened?" I asked.

"He took a job trying to steal something for some mystery client, but the job went south. He thought that he could smooth things over by stealing a high end car for the guy. The client disagreed, and I got a bullet in the back that was meant for him. He left his eight months pregnant fiancée bleeding on the floor when he ran" her voice began to break as she started again.

"When I was in the hospital afterwards, the doctor told me that there was nothing they could have done to save my baby; she died because of the damage that the bullet caused. That was why I was so torn up when he left" Megan said finally before she burst into tears again.

End of Flashback

I glanced at the clock and then tried to get some sleep. After a couple of hours of tossing and turning, I decided to just lay there and make sure that Megan was alright.

I was up early the next morning fixing breakfast for Megan and I when I heard her walk into the kitchen.

"Morning" she said softly.

I glanced at her and noticed that she seemed almost embarrassed about the conversation that we'd had the night before even though she had absolutely no reason to be.

"Morning, coffee's in the pot" I replied knowing that it would be better to wait until she was ready to talk.

"I'm sorry I kinda unloaded all of my emotional baggage on you last night" she said as she fixed her coffee.

"It's okay Megan, Adam was a jerk to you last night, and he said some things that reminded you of that night. I'm just glad that you trusted me enough to tell me. I'm guessing that it had something to do with the nightmares you've been having lately" I replied.

"Yep, and being around Adam yesterday brought all of those feelings up again. Thanks for listening to me, and for being there" she said.

"My pleasure Darlin" I said as I pulled her into my arms and kissed the top of her head.

After we had breakfast, Megan was helping me with the dishes when her phone rang. It was Parker telling us that Adam had come through and that Nate wanted us to come to the bar to discuss everything. I could tell that Parker had picked up on the fact that Megan was still a little upset from the night before, and I heard Megan answer a couple of questions so I knew that Parker had figured out what or rather who had caused it.

When we walked into Nate's apartment a short time later, we heard Parker yelling at Adam and no one was even trying to stop her. I couldn't help but be proud of her especially after everything that Megan had told me.


Normal POV

"You sorry bastard! What did you say to Megan last night?" Parker asked when she stormed into Nate's apartment and saw Adam standing by the window. The others that were there glanced up, but did nothing to stop whatever was about to happen.

"I um I just wanted to talk to her Parker" Adam started.

"Bullshit! I just talked to her! She sounded sad, like she had been crying; we both know that Megan does not cry unless she is really upset! So what did you say to her? Because if you hurt her, I will push you out that window, I swear!" Parker said as she advanced on him.

"Parker, he's not worth it" Megan said as she walked into the room with Eliot and stood beside her friend.

"He deserves it Megs" Parker said.

"You're right Parks, but we need him alive for our plan to work. Besides he'll be gone soon. Let's get to work" Megan said as she led her friend over to the media room as the others followed.

"Now Adam, you said you have an in for us, what is it?" Nate asked when everyone was settled.

"Megan was right about the club needing people; Carlos is holding auditions for singers, and wants to interview waitresses too. The auditions are going to be tomorrow and the day after. I'm the one picking the girls with Carlos, so I can get them in" Adam said.

"Okay, so Megan, Katie, and Kourtni will audition for the singing, and Shelby and Callie will handle the waitressing. Eliot, you and Sophie will be with the singers as their agent and manager. The rest of us will fill in as needed. So let's go steal an audition everyone" Nate said before he abruptly left the room.


"I wonder if Parker really would have pushed him out that window" Eliot said as he and Megan walked into her apartment that night.

"I'm sure she would have, they have a history of hating each other, and Parks was pissed enough to do it" Megan replied as Eliot began to look in the fridge for something to cook.

"What are you in the mood for?" he asked as Megan rolled her eyes. She knew that Eliot was going to make whatever he wanted and thought that she'd eat, so she almost never offered an opinion.

"Hmm, Maybe that coconut shrimp and rice that you know I love" she smiled.

"Ah your favorite, I guess I can do that for you" Eliot said giving her one of his very rare smiles that was only reserved for the team before planting a kiss on the top of her head.

"Well since you're so willing, I can think of something else that you could do for me too" Megan smirked before planting soft kisses on his neck.

"Oh really, and what's that?" he asked as he tried to ignore the urge to push her against the wall and take her right then and there.

"If you have to ask, I must not be doing my job right" Megan said seductively before rubbing his back.

"Oh you are definitely doing it right" he growled before grinding his hips into hers so she could feel exactly what she was doing to him as she let out a soft moan.

Eliot picked Megan up and kissed her hard on the lips before carrying her into the bedroom.


When the two of them emerged a while later Megan was wearing Eliot's shirt, which came down only a little past her ass, while Eliot was only wearing his jeans. She went to the fridge to pull out the stuff he would need to cook their dinner as he came up behind her and kissed her neck.

Megan wiggled around in his arms and kissed him on the lips. Things were getting heated again when Megan heard her door be unlocked and opened.

"Hey Meg, I know you had a hard day, so I brought Chinese" Katie said as she entered the apartment and saw her big sister and Eliot kissing.

Megan groaned as Eliot went back into the bedroom to put on another shirt.

"Katie, what are you doing here?" Megan asked.

"I thought I would come check on my sister since William and Taylor are out of town visiting Mom and Pop. Hi Eliot" Katie said when Eliot came back into the kitchen.

"Hey Katie, Meg I'm going to take Atticus out" he replied before leaving with the dog.

"So how long has this been going on?" Katie asked as she pointed back and forth between Megan and the door.

"What?" Megan asked.

"Nice try Megs, how long have you been seeing Eliot? Don't try to deny it, I have a daughter, I know what causes that" Katie said.

"Okay, Eliot and I have been sleeping together since Kourtni and Jake's wedding, other than that, nothing has happened" Megan said.

"Do you have feelings for him?" Katie asked.

"I don't know, I like him, and we're friends, but other than that I'm not sure" Megan said.

"Well just be careful, I don't want to see you get hurt" Katie said softly.

"I will be, trust me" Megan smiled.

While the girls were talking in the apartment, Eliot walked Atticus and then pulled out his phone.

He dialed the number and waited for the person to answer.

"It's about time you called" the voice on the other end said.

"Hello to you too my friend. It's time to come home" Eliot replied.

After a few more minutes, he hung up the phone and walked with Atticus back to Megan's place with a look of uncertainty on his face.

"Let's hope Megan doesn't kill me when she finds out." He thought as he stepped into the elevator.
