Hey thanx for all the reviews on the previous chapter and sorry for the delay with this one. OK I realize now there was a character named Anthony but I hadn't meant for it to be the Anthony in my story, my bad. But you guys always point those things out lol so anyway sorry for that. Please R&R thanx!
OK I don't know why this chapter got cut off I think I fixed it, I've had some trouble uploading this one.
"I don't understand girls." Mr. Mathers asks breathlessly as he hurried to keep up with them. "Michael? He's such a good student, I never would think him capable of something as serious as you both are accusing him."
"I know it's hard to believe, but the least you can give us is the benefit of the doubt" Anna pleads
"Very Well." Mr. Mathers consents to their wishes
"I think they went this way." Elizabeth rushes off
***************
"Don't just stand there Michael. Don't give an empty threat." Megan warns
"What are you talking about?" Michael sneers
"Don't threaten me and try to intimidate me with an empty threat say what you mean!" Megan yells, immediately regretting saying her words seeing the anger building up in Michael. She screamed out of pain when his hand connected with the side of her face on her cheekbone. Megan still stood her ground.
"Last time right? You're not as bright as you let people think you are Meg." Michael laughs
*************
"Girls, the art hall way is under renovation, I highly doubt anyone would be down here." Mr. Mathers reasons
"I swear they came down this way." Elizabeth confirms
"I believe you may of though they did but-" Mr. Mathers stops mid-sentence when he is interrupted by a scream. "Stay back." He warns running off in the direction of the scream.
As the three of them neared closer they could hear muffled shouts, obvious that an argument was taking place.
"Megan I swear I'll-" Michael looks up shocked when his 5th period teacher walked in the door. "Mr. Mathers" He laughs nervously
Mr. Mathers looks grimly between Michael and Megan. "Are you all right Megan?"
She nods, and attempts a smile to assure. Her right cheekbone a bright red color where he had hit her. Anna and Elizabeth had been standing awkwardly in the doorway, but now ran in to Megan's side.
"So would either of you like to tell me what's going on in here."
"Nothing." Michael tells his teacher giving a piercing look at Megan.
"Nothing." Mr. Mathers muses "Megan do you have anything to add to nothing?"
"No sir." Megan replies softly looking straight at him.
Mr. Mathers is caught by surprise if he hadn't heard the scream himself, he would of believed her. "Then would you like to tell me what happened?"
"Michael and I had an argument as I'm sure you heard. I went to leave and he tried to detain me and I jumped back and I hit my face on the side of the door." Megan answers, Michael looks on smugly
"Is this true Michael?"
"Just like she said." Michael shrugs
Mr. Mathers looks unbelievingly at the two students. "In my office now."
*****************
Mr. Mathers hangs up the phone "Neither of your parents are home." He informs them as Megan and Michael shift uncomfortably in his cramped office connected to his classroom.
"Michael you can leave, Megan stay a moment I need to speak with you."
Michael looks at Megan as he leaves willing her to look at him, she keeps her focus on the floor.
Michael shuts the door and Megan looks at Mr. Mathers expectantly.
"Megan if something did happen, you can tell me. I can get you help."
"Mr. Mathers it's just like I told you." She states clearly her head up high, appearing confident.
The frustrated teacher sighs "Very well, but my door is open anytime."
"All right." Megan answers standing up, her newly found confidence melting away as they turned the doorknob.
*******
"Did you say something?" Michael asks waiting outside the classroom
"Of course not." Megan snaps
"Good, now keep it that way. I'll see you later." He squeezes her arm- tightly "Don't worry Meg, everything is ok now."
Megan shakes her head furiously
"What is it?"
"No. I wont be seeing you later, I wont say anything but I am not going to subject myself to being around you, you've changed and I don't like it."
"So you want everyone to know then? Is that it? The only people in this town who originally knew is a select few but now that population seems to be growing."
The color drains from Megan's face. "Tonight." She nods "The diner."
"Good, I'll see you then." Michael leans over and goes to kiss her but she turns her head and he ends up kissing her cheek. Megan looks disgusted and walks away.
********************
"Hey Megan how was your first day back?" Danny greets her
"I've only been gone a day." Megan answers irritated
"My bad." Danny says lightly sensing her bad mood. "Did you fail a test or something like that?"
"Yea something like that" Megan answers distantly, gingerly touching her face.
"We're home." Danny announces putting the car into park.
"Hey Megan how was your day?" Rafe calls passing by.
"Fine" Megan replies not lingering around for small talk.
"Was that your sister?" Evelyn asks from the garden
"Yea, she seems sort of out of it, but I guess that's understandable." Danny adds
Upstairs Megan is examining the damages done in the bathroom. She touches her face gingerly, it's definitely noticeable. She sighs and looks for her make-up in an attempt to conceal today's happenings.
"Meg?" Evelyn knocks softly on the door.
"What's up?" Megan asks opening the door doing her best to look happy.
"Laundry." Evelyn hands her freshly clean towels "Could you put these in the linen closet for me?"
"Sure mom." Megan takes the towels
"How was your day?"
"It was fine." Megan lies her back turned to her mom, grateful her mother couldn't see her face. "Actually I wanted to go out for dinner tonight with some friends if that's all right."
"Of course it is." Evelyn consents "Have fun"
"Yea" Megan sighs as her mother leaves. Megan leaves the bathroom and goes to her room.
"Hey." Danny comes in. "You've got a visitor."
"Meg!" Elizabeth hurries in and waits for Danny to shut the door. "I cannot believe you lied so openly like that."
"I didn't have much of a choice." Megan hisses
"What do you mean? Mr. Mathers was right there- did he threaten you?" Elizabeth asks wide eyed
"Sort of, not me exactly. Lizzie he knows something, about my family. I don't want things to change, and he's making me stay with him or at least act like I am or he's threatening to tell everyone."
"Meg, how do you know he wasn't bluffing?" Elizabeth asks sensibly
"You saw my face right?"
Elizabeth covers her mouth with her hand in shock. "He did hit you before didn't he?"
"Lizzie you cannot breathe a word of this to anybody not Mr. Mathers, Danny, my parents not even Anna. She worries too much, I can rely on you right?"
"How do you plan on handling this?" Elizabeth demands
"I'll manage, please just promise me."
Elizabeth hesitates
"Elizabeth please!" Megan cries out
Elizabeth purses her lips "I'll give you two weeks to figure- TWO weeks to figure this out before I saw something." She says her voice getting louder at the end to cut off Megan's attempt to interrupt.
"Two weeks." Megan agrees "Thank you."
"Do not thank me, I shouldn't even of promised you two days. Are you going out with him tonight."
"To the diner. Nothing will happen."
"Just don't leave the diner all right? Don't go anywhere alone with him."
"I promise." Megan promises her
***************
"Megan McCawley don't you just look amazing." Michael greets her at the diner.
"We've got to talk." Megan replies sharply ignoring his greeting
"What's up?" He asks sweetly when they take a seat in the corner.
Megan looks and sees Elizabeth walk in with some friends, Elizabeth searching Megan out, when she spots her she takes a seat from a place where she can see her.
Megan looks away. "I'm not going to go along with this."
"Yes you are." Michael replies not taking his eyes off the menu
"No, I'm not joking, you either drop this and I will never say anything or I will." Megan says stubbornly
"You will what?" Michael asks tearing his glance towards her for only a moment.
"I will tell someone everything."
"You wouldn't, you're family, it would ruin the McCawley name, people around here love some juicy gossip. They take to it like wildfire."
Megan smiles "Speaking of juicy gossip, I overheard you telling Ryan you have plans to follow in the footsteps of your father and join the force."
Michael looks up at Megan who now has his full attention "What are you getting at?" He asks suspiciously
"Put two and two together Michael, sweetie." Megan says sweetly
"You wouldn't dare."
"You always tell me my mouth gets me into trouble, not knowing when to stop. Telling the blatant truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth I believe the oath is, isn't it?"
"Megan" Michael starts trying to keep his voice down realizing the tables were turning.
"I'll give you two days to decide what you are going to do about this." Megan says evenly "If you don't consent to my wishes I am going to tell all. You can't get into the air force with physical abuse or threats on your record. I'll be seeing you here in two days. Until then Lieutenant." Megan does a mock salute before getting up and leaves.
"What was that?" Elizabeth asks catching up with Megan before she leaves.
"The sound of power changing hands." Megan replies "I told you I had it under control, my father always taught me never to give up." She smiles "I'll see you in school tomorrow." Megan goes to call home to get someone to pick her up.
OK I'm stopping here until the next chapter, please R&R for this chapter thanx so much!
