Hi guys. I'm so sorry for not updating in so long; I've just seriously not had any time. Thanks for all you guys for replying and giving ideas, much appreciated. I hope this chapter makes up for the time it's taken me to write it. Please review on what you think and what you want to happen with Megan. Enjoy...

Frank stormed in and Liam's face fell flat. His eyes wandered to the ground again, confusing his best friend.

"Liam? You alright?" Frank walked closer and tried to examine his friend further.

"Yeah I'm fine just ... tired, yeah just tired. What did you want?" Liam tried to be as convincing as he could. He had lifted up his head to look at Frank and faked his smile. He never complained about being tired but it was the only thing he could think of. Liam hoped Frank would leave. He wanted to be on his own. He wanted to wait for Megan.

"Do you want to play pool?" Frank gestured to the door. Liam being Liam he didn't want a fuss, so he decided to go play pool. Liam slowly nodded and stood up and followed his friend out the door and down the stairs into the lounge. Each step he took, he regretted. He wanted to wait for Megan, but he knew that would only frustrate him further. They walked into the lounge. It was empty, which wasn't normal. They strolled over and Liam grabbed both pool cues and chucked one to Frank.

Back upstairs Megan was in Tee and Carmen's room unimpressed with their fashion creation. They had urgently grabbed her at the wrong time to show his that. She stood in the door; arms folded and watched Tee and Carmen strut down their imaginary cat walk with tacky pieces of clothing. Cut up pieces of felt and tissue paper were splayed across the floor and clothes were crumpled all over the place. Megan walked over to the CD and pressed stop. Both girls immediately turned round and gasped.

"Why did you stop the music?" Carmen asked shaking her head.

"Because this is silly" Megan started, she was angry. Liam was about to tell her something and she had to go with Carmen to watch them play around being stupid, "I'm going now. You guys have fun Bye" Megan turned around and shut the door behind her. She moved away from the room but listened to see what the girls would say. 'They won't take it too seriously. I wasn't being mean' Megan thought. Those thoughts were interrupted.

"I can't believe Megan just did that" Said Tee switching the music back on. The vibrations of the music of Justin Bieber filled the air and Megan walked away. She couldn't be bothered to hear anything else. She thought they wouldn't mind her walking away. But if she had of stayed she would have heard Carmen saying: 'I don't like her anymore. We tried to do something nice for her and she threw it back in our faces. She didn't even get to see the costume we made for her. We spent ages on it' If only Megan had stayed, she wouldn't be hated by another member of the house. She turned round the corner and into her room. Expecting Liam to be there she walked in and smiled.

"Hey I'm back-"She stopped when she saw the empty room, "Great just fantastic" She said sarcastically. She went to go get her iPod to find it not on the floor. She walked slowly over to her bed, examining the floor and furniture as she went to see the wires wrapped up neatly and it place on her pillow. 'Liam' She thought and smiled grabbing the iPod and unravelling the wires. She placed one earphone in and walked downstairs. Turning her iPod off, she passed the living room and saw Liam. She stopped at the door way and he looked up.

"Hi" He called, waving his hand lightly to her whilst making his next move. As usual he potted the ball.

"Hiya" Megan called back, impressed by his previous shot.

"Where you heading?" He asked. His mood had lightened and it didn't go unnoticed by Frank.

"Just the kitchen to get a drink"

"OK, when you're finished, can I talk to you?"

"Yeah sure" Megan smiled at both Liam and Frank and then walked off into the kitchen. As she grew nearer she heard a serious convocation. She then made out her voice being mentioned a few times. By the kitchen door, Megan stood and listened intently. She peeped inside slightly and saw Tracy, Mike and Gina sitting round the table looking at an envelope.

"Surely she has to know" Tracy said, worrying about the teen girl.

"No I don't think it's a good idea Tracy. Who knows what's inside that letter" Mike picked it up and looked at the simple writing on the front. It had no address on it just the name. "He obviously knows where Megan is, there's no address on the front. He must have posted it himself" Megan's eyes widened. 'Who knows where I am? What if I get the others hurt?' She thought. Her breathing got heavier and her heart beat was incontrollable. She wanted to say something but she refused to. She wanted to listen for longer.

"Tracy, he's right you know. Megan would probably run away. It says she has a history for it in her file" Gina said pointing to the thick folder overflowing with paper.

"Yeah I know, but she will be more likely to run away if she knew we were lying to her about this. After all, he is the reason she's in care" Tracy said.

"Exactly. He's dangerous Tracy. She could get seriously hurt. I'm deciding not to tell her and no one does" Mike stood up and took the letter in his hand. Megan burst into the room, furious with what was just said.

"WHAT! Is that it then? You were just never going to tell me?" Megan walked towards Mike. He could see her anger brewing in her eyes.

"Megan, how long have been listening?" Mike was calm. He couldn't have Megan disrupt the whole house or let anyone know how dangerous the man was who knew where Megan was.

"What does that matter? You have my letter and I want to read it"

"I'm sorry Megan. I can't" By now, keeping any of this a secret was impossible. By the door, all the residents were gathering around and listening to the argument. Gina walked over to the kids and shooed them away whilst Mike and Tracy lead Megan into the office. Liam watched as the door closed and was worried. He didn't know what was going on and was desperate to talk to Megan.

After 20 minutes of arguing Mike finally gave in and handed the letter to Megan. There wasn't any way of hiding it from her and the letter could be nothing. Megan ran out of the room and straight into the girl's bathroom. She quickly bolted the door. With her shaking hands she opened the letter. Inside was a sheet of paper with newspaper cuttings. The letter read:

Megan,

I miss you so much and I'm so glad I've finally found you. Don't bother trying to go to the police, because if you do I'll know and one of your friends will not be here for much longer. I can't wait to finally see you again and finish what I started.

From JJ xx

P.S. I'M WATCHING YOU

Megan dropped the letter and imagined JJ's evil laugh. It ran through her body and it sent shivers all over her body. Megan started to panic. She didn't know what to do. JJ was going to hurt someone even if she didn't go to the police or not. She knew what he was like. 'I have to run away' She thought, 'That way JJ will be looking for me and then he won't hurt any of the others' Megan ran out of the bathroom picking the letter up off the floor as she went and into her room. Luckily Liam wasn't there. She grabbed her black and purple backpack and shoved in some clothes and makeup she would need. A few other things were added and then the letter in the front pocket. She wrote a not for Liam to find but she wasn't planning on running away just then. She was going to wait till the house was silent and still. With her backpack ready she placed it disgustingly under her duvet and Liam's letter under her pillow. Just as she put her pillow down, Liam sprang into the room which made Megan jump out of her skin with fright.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you" Liam said jokingly

"That's ok. You said you wanted to talk?" Megan sat down on her bed and smiled at the boy she knew she would never forget, even though it killed her knowing that she would not be here tomorrow.

"Oh ... I just wanted to know if you were ok" Liam decided to tell Megan tomorrow in the morning. After all the drama that she went through today he thought it would be the best thing to do, or is it?

Couple of hours later...

Megan was lying in bed. Waiting.

"Liam" She whispered. No reply. "Liam" She said again but a bit louder but still no reply. He was obviously asleep. Megan grabbed her back pack and slipped on her boots. She was still in her jeans and jacket and her makeup was still on. She reached underneath her pillow and took out the piece of crumpled paper and put it under Liam's phone which was charging on the floor. Slowly she crept out of the room and downstairs. In the kitchen she raided the cupboards and took some packet food to keep her going for a while. Walking towards the front door, she took the keys which she stole earlier from the office and unlocked the door. The key clicked opened and she walked out. Wind was whaling and the trees where being tossed around. Leaves were blowing in every direction and the bitter air nipped at her face. She turned around and locked the front door. With a big sigh she pushed the keys trough the letter box. There was no going back now. She walked away from the house slowly as she thought of Liam. She turned at the gate and started at the house she was once safe in. She hadn't been safe in a while but obviously she wasn't meant to be safe.

"Bye Elm Tree" A tear trickled down her rosy cheeks, "Bye Liam". She turned away and walked off down the path, not knowing where she would end up. She wandered through the darkness alone just longing to be safe...
