OK so I decided to continue and thanx for the reviews and I guess I should clear a few things up. First I know they didn't show a girl when Danny was little but that's the fiction part, she could of been with a relative or something, second there were a lot of pilots on the mission to Japan so (in my mind at least) Michael's father was just a pilot that never got named. OK that's it please R&R for me thanx!
"I want you to go back to bed and lie down." Evelyn tells Megan
"Mom-" Megan starts to protest
"Listen to your mother." Rafe cuts her off seeming stressed
Megan looks curiously at her father but obliges and leaves
"Danny you too." Rafe says quietly
"Sure" Danny replies as confused as Megan was and left.
"Rafe what are we going to do? I don't want Megan to go back to school is Michael is still there."
"We can't just pull her out of her school, and she's almost done with it."
"They have classes together." Evelyn replies
"We need to be sensible about this. We can tell the teachers to watch out and keep and eye on her." Rafe reasons
"They can't do that the entire school day and don't you think she'd start to notice?"
"What do you want me to do Evelyn?" Rafe asks
"I don't know, we should talk to Michael's parents first. Maybe we can come to a sensible conclusion with all of this."
"Is that what you want to do?"
"Yes." Evelyn nods
"Then that's what we'll do." Rafe states "Tomorrow when Megan is back at school."
Megan couldn't hear her mother's reply from where she was sitting on the steps
"What are you doing?" Danny asks
"Shh." Megan hushes him
"Meg, you can't listen in on-"
"This is all my fault." Megan says and runs up the stairs to her room.
"It's not your fault." Danny opens the door to Megan's room
"It doesn't matter what you tell me, but don't worry everything will be ok."
Danny eyes Megan "How do you mean?"
"Don't worry about it Danny." Megan smiles
"Not telling me to worry makes me worry even more." Danny mutters leaving her room
*******************
"How are you feeling?" Evelyn asks coming in later that afternoon
"Anxious to get back to school, I don't like just sitting around at home like this."
"Just yesterday you were asking to stay home."
"I know but, well everyday is a new day." Megan replies
"Let me see your wrist." Evelyn says looking at her daughter curiously "It looks better then it did yesterday, the swelling went down." Evelyn observes
"I feel better too."
"Your head doesn't hurt? Nothing?"
"Not at all." Megan lies
"All right, I'll be back later." Evelyn says getting up
"What is it?" Rafe asks coming inside
"She says she's feeling great and she's anxious to get back to school tomorrow." Evelyn replies
"And that's not a good thing?"
"Rafe, she has to be lying."
"Well, let's give her the benefit of the doubt and believe her."
"Maybe." Evelyn stirs the food on the stove.
"What?"
"Do you think that's the first time Michael ever hit her? I mean it seems so odd for him to just do that."
"I don't know Evie, we have to wait for Megan to come to us, we can't force her to do or say anything." Rafe tells her
"All right." Evelyn agrees "Where's Danny?"
"Outside working, he really knows what he's doing out there."
"He must of learned it from it father." Evelyn smiles at Rafe
"Must of." Rafe muses "I'll be back soon I have to go to the store to pick up something, you need anything?"
"No, just don't be late for dinner."
"I would never." Rafe assures her.
******************
Rafe is paying for his purchase when he sees Mr. Lennon (Michael's father a/n: that name was never in the movie I just made it up) "Anthony. "
"Rafe McCawley (is that right?) long time no see man." Anthony shakes his hand
"You've been seeing a lot of my daughter though I would imagine."
"As you have been with my son. How is Megan? She didn't come around today." Anthony asks
"At home, she stayed home from school today."
"Nothing too serious, I hope."
Surprised at this Rafe asks "Michael didn't tell you about yesterday?"
"What about yesterday?"
"Megan and Michael, they had a fight."
Anthony chuckles "Teen love, ah well they'll get over it."
"I don't think Megan has the intentions of going back out with your son."
Anthony lets out a low whistle "Whoa that serious huh? Oh well they'll be more to come."
"I don't think you understand the serious nature of their fight." Rafe says accusingly
"Apparently I don't if you are standing here accusing me" Anthony says evenly
"Your son, hurt my daughter. She came home last night soaked after walking home from the Ridge. Michael had twisted her wrist and pushed Megan against the truck. She hit her head and hurt her back."
"My son would never do such a thing." Anthony confirms
"He did, I don't know what kind of morals or what have you that you teach your son but hurting a girl is not acceptable."
"Do not preach to me on how to raise my own children." Anthony says his voice rising. "Maybe Michael saw it fit to correct your daughter, she's got a rebellious nature and quite a mouth on her I might add she speaks her mind freely."
"About as freely as your son speaks his own."
"What are you trying to say Rafe? I don't like guessing games."
"Your son told Megan about Danny's real father he had a colorful way of saying it as well, saying I was responsible." Rafe says angrily
"Is that what this is about? Your pride? You don't want to be to blame for Danny's death. Guess what Rafe. Had you not been firing the gun of yours Danny wouldn't of had to take a bullet for you."
"You would of rather been prisoners to the Japanese, I can imagine that to be a worse fate."
"About as bad as getting your best friend killed." Anthony sneers
"Tell your son to keep away from Megan and if he doesn't I'll take measures to make sure he does."
"I'll make sure that Michael stays away from Megan only for the reason that I don't want him associating with your family." Anthony turns his back on Rafe and leaves.
Rafe grabs his stuff and leaves for home.
***************
"Rafe? What's wrong?" Evelyn asks
"Don't worry about it." Rafe grunts
Abandoning the food a concerned Evelyn walks over to Rafe "Tell me what happened, I know something did."
"I saw Anthony Lennon at the store."
"Michael's father?"
"Yes."
"And you talked to him."
Rafe nods and recounts the argument
"Well, perhaps Michael will really stay clear of Megan now."
"Hopefully."
"Rafe, please tell me you don't blame yourself for Danny's death, it couldn't of been helped and though I hate to say this, if you had been captured, you all would of been killed anyway. So at least some of you were able to get out."
"I wish, he hadn't died, but I can't help but say my life has worked out for the best."
"As did mine. Just look at our family." Evelyn smiles "Come on let's eat dinner."
*****************
The next morning Danny pulls up in front of Megan's school and shuts off the car.
"Why did you shut the car?" Megan asks
"Do me a favor." Danny says
"That's how this all started yesterday." Megan jokes, seeing Danny is serious. "OK what?"
"Don't talk to Michael today, I know you're planning on doing that."
"I can't promise you anything. I have to see how everything goes." Megan says and gets out before Danny could protest any more.
"Megan! Where were you yesterday? I was so worried your parents hadn't found you. Michael was so worried about you yesterday." Anna gushes when Megan goes to her locker
"Michael and I broke up" Megan replies
"I don't think Michael knows about that." Elizabeth says softly
"Why?"
"Cause he's coming this way." Elizabeth replies
Megan turns around but doesn't say anything.
"Meg! I'm so glad your all right." Michael greets her.
"We're not going out anymore, so don't bother to try and sweet talk me."
"Maybe we should go." Anna whispers
"No. Stay, this wont take long."
"I think they should leave." Michael says
"Did I ask you what you think?" Megan asks sharply
"Why are you mad at me?" Michael snaps
"Maybe cause of this." Megan pulls up her sleeve. Anna and Elizabeth gasp.
"Can you two leave." Michael says to both of them. Anna and Elizabeth walk away slowly so they could hear what's going on.
Michael takes Megan's other hand and pulls her down the hall. "Stop!" Megan exclaims
"What should we do?" Elizabeth asks
"Do you think Michael hurt her?"
"Well why else would Meg show it to him like that?" Anna asks "Do you think Danny is still here?"
"That's even if he drove her today." Elizabeth points out "And no I don't"
"We have to get someone." Anna exclaims worried
"Mr. Mathers! His classroom is right over there." Elizabeth and Anna hurry off.
***********
"Michael stop! Let go of me!"
"You told your father what happened!" Michael yells pulling her into an empty classroom
"Of course I did, I came home soaked and bruised what did you want me to say? Oh it was nothing. How did you know I told him anyway?"
"Your father saw my father at a store yesterday and they had it out."
"So I guess your in trouble and that's why your so angry. Isn't it?" Megan asks hotly
"I can't see you anymore."
"I can't either, but I don't see the loss." Megan retorts
"You know it's your mouth that gets you into all this trouble, that's your problem." Michael says menacingly stepping closer to her.
"Your not worth it, I'm not going to waste my time anymore, it should of been the last straw the first time you grabbed me, but you convinced me otherwise, so I'm going to be smart. Yesterday that's it, it was the second and last time you try that with me. I'm not doing this anymore."
"Don't walk away from me!" Michael yells grabbing her arm.
"Is this how your going to do it with all your future girlfriends? Your wife? Maybe even your kids?" Megan asks and Michael raises his hand.
OK I'm stopping here, to be continued….lol I'm cruel….ok so was it any good? Please R&R thanx!
"I want you to go back to bed and lie down." Evelyn tells Megan
